Chapter 794 (1/2)

Chapter 794: 794

This was the power of humanity .

It was not the first time Ning Que had sensed its existence . The Headmaster had used this power when he reached out and called the ancient sword from the Sword Garret in the south from tens and thousands of miles away to kill the Golden Dragon and the Divine Guard . Ning Que had also sensed this power in the houses across Yanming Lake .

He did not understand how he could harness this power .

He had once asked the Headmaster about this . The Headmaster said that he was the world and his power was the power of humanity . This answer was simple, but was meaningless to him .

He looked at the bright moon in the night sky and thought of his teacher . He looked at the pine tree at the edge of the cliff and thought of Youngest Uncle . He looked at the blood that flooded the front of Lanke Temple and thought of Lotus .

He thought of his last conversation with his teacher by the Sishui River . So Lotus had been right .

Youngest Uncle was proud and free . He wanted to represent the human realm and pierce the skies as a powerhouse . The Headmaster, on the other hand, believed that he was the human realm . He wanted to lead the world and challenge Haotian .

However, humans resided in the human realm and the power of this realm came from everyone living in it . This power could not be replicated or led . It could only truly be unleashed when everyone came together .

The Headmaster built the Tang Empire and the Academy, and had been on the right path . However, he had only thought of leading the ma.s.ses through education and uniting the people through this .

Because of his obsession, Lotus did not reach the state attained by the Headmaster and Youngest Uncle . And also because of his obsession, his thoughts became radicalized .

He looked at his wife's lone grave in the rain and wanted to dig it open . However, he gave up in the end and drifted far away . Lotus went mad from then on .

Afterward, whether it was his destruction of the Devil's Doctrine or the ma.s.sacre at Lanke Temple, it was all because he was crazy .

He wanted to destroy the world because he thought that life and death were all pointless .

He planned to use the Devil to go against Heaven, and Tao to follow Heaven and finally made use of Buddhism to reach the other side, a side beyond the three realms, a side beyond average commoners' knowledge . It was only then he could create a brand new world and wipe off the old world that belonged to the heartless Heaven . It was only then he could go back in time and search for the things in the past .

In other words, he wanted to break the most fundamental rule of the world . He wanted to destroy Haotian, and the method he chose was to have the entire world go mad with him and be destroyed .

This method was b.l.o.o.d.y and cruel, but also correct .

If Haotian knew that there was someone like him who had come up with such a crazy idea because he wanted his dead wife to come back to life, he would probably start shaking .

When Ning Que was younger, he had brought Sangsang with him and traveled the world . He was not very patient, and when there were things that Sangsang showed the slightest skill in, he drilled a sentence into her incessantly .

”What you can do, do it yourself . ”

Then, what should be done by man in the human realm, should be done by everyone .

Ning Que opened his eyes to find that he was still standing on the long snowy street .

He did not know if he had already awakened or if he was still dreaming .

He saw the injured on the street who refused to call out in pain . He looked at the corpses of the ordinary people and at the two injured but determined teens . He understood many things .

Chang'an was not a city . It was a person . It was made up of everyone living in the city .

The power of humanity came from everyone living here .

Tens, hundreds, thousands, tens and thousands, millions of people .

Everyone's will and desire . This was a power .

The desire of tens and thousands came together to become the power of humanity .

It was extremely powerful and could change the world, able to go against the tide of time .

In Lotus' hands, this was a b.l.o.o.d.y tide .

In Youngest Uncle's hands, it was the sword marks left behind by his sword .

In the Headmaster's hand, it was the desire to triumph against the Heavens .

But that was not all .

Lotus did not obtain the acceptance of this power . Or perhaps, one could say that he did not have have the opportunity to move it .

Youngest Uncle was unparalleled amongst many, and was thus lonely .

The Headmaster was the teacher of many, but had forgotten that his students were the ones writing their own scripts .

Master Yan Se spent his whole life looking for that character .

The character that represented the power of humanity .

But just as what the Abbey Dean had once said, the word was too heavy .

The desire of tens and thousands of people would definitely be heavy .

Furthermore, how could the desire of tens and thousands be the same?

That was why n.o.body could write that character .

Not even the Headmaster .

Ning Que had finally seen the word .

He saw the many people on the Vermilion Bird Avenue .

Tens and thousands of ordinary people coming together for a common goal .

Building a new wall with their flesh and blood .

And at this time, these people became a city .

And right now, these tens and thousands of people had the same strong will and desire .

They were part of humanity .

For Chang'an, this was the most desperate and angriest moment .

And the best time to write that character .

Ning Que now needed to consider how he would write the character . Even though he had seen it, it did not mean he could write it . Just like how he had ascended into the old library back then and saw the shelves full of precious cla.s.sics . He had looked at the characters he had read many times, but could not write or memorize them .

He thought of the three months they had spent on sea and thought of the conversations held with his teacher .

The Headmaster said that Haotian was not the world, but was the collection of the basic rules of the world .

The Headmaster said that when rules control the world, the world would be stable but boring . Only when new forces emerge and break the old rules can the world regain its vitality and be interesting .
