After listening, the Little Immortal pressed his lips together and said, “Indeed.”
“You are not wrong; all living beings of this entire era are descendants of the ‘Giant Hand.'”
“The enemy we face is precisely the ‘Ancient Forebears’ who were once expelled.”
“So from the very beginning, this war has been unjust.”
Upon hearing the words of the Little Immortal, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “As expected, my guess was spot on.”
“Let me think a moment; Wu Li should not be a person of this era.”
“To be precise, he should belong to the ‘Ancient Forebears,’ but I accidentally brought him to this era.”
“The reason Wu Li was besieged by so many people is that someone discovered his identity.”
“These people should be the traditionalists you mentioned.”
“They have been guarding the honor of the ‘Giant Hand,’ so they viewed Wu Li as a thorn in their side.”
“However, later on, they found that Wu Li only wished to protect all living beings, so their hostility towards him gradually diminished.”
“This is also the reason why you have consistently prevented me from touching the truth.”
“Because you feared that once I knew the truth, I would turn around and help the Ancient Forebears.”
“Wu Li understood your concerns even more and did not want me involved in this confusion, so he collaborated with you in blocking information from me.”
“Am I right?”
Looking at Chen Changsheng, the Little Immortal nodded.
“You are absolutely correct, not a word off.”
“So I am very curious, if you had learned the truth beforehand, would you help the Ancient Forebears?”
“Most likely not. I, Chen Changsheng, help family, not justice; the suffering of the Ancient Forebears is not something I caused, so why should I help them?”
“Moreover, now that this war has started, it indicates that the former Ancient Forebears have turned into a group of bloodthirsty madmen.”
“You offered them goodwill and were willing to cede portions of land for them to reside in, but they did not choose to accept this condition.”
“And thus, one side sought to protect their current homeland while the other sought to return to their original homeland, and a great battle unfolded.”
“However, I find it very puzzling why you would have such a tough time fighting.”
“In the past, you expelled them, which was enough to prove that your strength held the advantage.”
“The Ancient Forebears are growing stronger; you are also growing stronger. It makes no sense for you to be fighting like this.”
“It wouldn’t be that your power has been drained, would it?”
Upon hearing this, the Little Immortal nodded, “Yes, the power of the entire era has been drained.”
“After I thoroughly understood the ancient truth, the high-end combat power of the entire era disappeared.”
“Now, the ones going to war are all born after the ‘Unlucky’ event.”
“When we first made contact with the Ancient Forebears, we were very willing to accept them, but they insisted on occupying half of the entire era’s territory, which left us helpless.”
“Since the power distribution of the era is fixed, even if they occupy half the territory, I may agree, but others would not consent.”
“Thus, we could only go to war.”
“But after the war began, we discovered that not everyone was united.”
“With both internal and external troubles, this war turned out to be so difficult.”
Faced with the words of the Little Immortal, Chen Changsheng asked, “Where did the high-end combat power of this era go?”
“I do not know.”
“And now that the front lines have completely collapsed, what do you plan to do?”
“Emperor Huangtian plans to venture out to find a new place to settle. I agree with this decision.”
“However, some people seem to disagree with this decision.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng frowned slightly and said, “Is it those close to Wu Li?”
“The people you taught are united in heart; they are quite supportive of Wu Li’s decisions.”
“The opposition comes from other battlefronts, even from my side.”
“However, it seems Emperor Huangtian does not intend to leave just like that; they want to take revenge for the Supreme Saint.”
“They came to find you in advance, hoping you could persuade them.”
“The current situation is extremely chaotic. If the war continues, the casualties will be immense.”
“No problem, I will persuade them.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng stood up and moved his body.
“Well, since the front lines have collapsed, you all have nothing else to do.”
“I have already obtained the God-Slaying Weapons; when Wu Li and the others arrive, I will hand the God-Slaying Weapons to you.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng turned to leave.
“Wait!”
“Is there anything else?”
Chen Changsheng tilted his head slightly, a smile returning to his face.
“Did you agree just like that?”
“Your thoughts are correct; why would I disagree?”
“With your personality, would you so easily let go of the d*ath of the Scholar?”
“I remember you almost went mad when the Reincarnation Forbidden Ground forced the Sword God to d*ath.”
“Hahaha!”
“This question is quite strange; when did I tell you I would let go of the Scholar’s d*ath?”
“And how do you know that I have not gone mad now?”
“The people outside directly caused the Scholar’s d*ath, while those inside may have indirectly led to it.”
“Letting Wu Li and the others leave is because they are too tired; this does not mean I have let go of anything.”
“After Wu Li leaves, one by one, I will slowly begin to settle the scores.”
“Additionally, I advise you to think carefully about whether the Scholar’s d*ath has anything to do with you.”
“If I investigate you, you will definitely experience the true power of the God-Slaying Weapons.”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng took Bai Ze and vanished into thin air.
Watching the direction Chen Changsheng disappeared, the Little Immortal remained silent for a long time, and he also felt an inexplicable fear.
The world believed that Chen Changsheng was the savior who cared for all living beings.
But only those who truly understood him knew that he was the greatest Demon Lord in the world.
The Scholar’s d*ath completely unshackled Chen Changsheng.
The departure of Emperor Huangtian and others meant that Chen Changsheng had lost his last bit of restraint.
This means that the entire era, and even all living beings in the world, would face a great calamity.
……
They have retreated!
All forces stationed in Abyss City withdrew quickly.
The d*ath of the Supreme Saint and the defeat of Emperor Huangtian spread like a plague.
Everyone began to distance themselves from the Undertaker, afraid of being tainted even slightly.
In just a month’s time, the once-prosperous Abyss World had become exceedingly desolate.
Meanwhile, Chen Changsheng sat alone atop the city wall, quietly watching the horizon before him.
“Swish!”
The sixteen forbidden grounds descended upon Abyss City together. Looking at the partners before him, Chen Changsheng said calmly.
“The people of the God-slaying Plan have not yet arrived; let’s wait a bit longer.”
As the words fell, Wu Li emerged from the spatial rift with a group of people.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng smiled slightly, then threw out eight enormous boxes.
“Eight God-Slaying Weapons are inside; choose for yourselves.”
“Those who wish to k*ll me can also make their move now.”
