819 Lets Do It Together! (1/2)
Zhe Huali looked at Qin Mu walking over and tried his best to stand up straight. He raised his hand and said, ”Cult Master Qin, please!”
Qin Mu was puzzled. ”What?”
Zhe Huali had a serious expression. ”To be able to die under Cult Master's sword is way better than dying at the hands of Prince Qiu Ming. I have no complaints if I die by your hands.”
Qin Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He shook his head and said, ”Zhe Huali, you are mistaken.”
Zhe Huali had a blank look on his face.
”I'm not here to kill you. In fact, it would be very troublesome for me if you die here.”
Qin Mu walked up and pulled him out from the debris while explaining. ”There's a poem on this pillar, and it's the crux to solving the divine art of the ghost ship. If you stand there, you will become one with the pillar after the ghost ship reconstructs itself. If I slash you to death, your blood will smudge the words. Wouldn't that mean I would have to wait for another reset? If you want to die, die further away.”
Zhe Huali grunted and stared at his hands. He saw Qin Mu holding a bottle of dragon saliva in his hand, and he was currently applying the dragon saliva on his wounds.
”Cult Master Qin, you are currently treating my injuries,” reminded Zhe Huali.
Only then did Qin Mu come back to his senses and throw him onto the ground. He mumbled, ”Healers treat their patients like their parents would. I was just moving out of habit.”
Zhe Huali's wounds hurt as he got thrown onto the ground, but he realized that all his wounds had already been treated by Qin Mu. His wounds were currently healing, and they were no longer bleeding.
”You still saved me.”
He had a complicated feeling in his heart. ”Cult Master Qin, you should know that we are enemies. You and I were both born peasants, and what we have today was fought for with our bare hands. Therefore, I would definitely have no grudge dying at Cult Master's hands. Let us have a battle of Dao, let me truly be defeated in your hands, let me die in your hands!”
Qin Mu shook his head and said, ”Zhe Huali, you are really mistaken. How were you and I born peasants? Compared to Prince Qiu Ming, we can be considered peasants, but if we are compared to ordinary people, we are people who were born with a silver spoon in our mouths. You are the descendant of a god and have an outstanding aptitude. You have Luo Wushuang teaching you, as well as a devil god such as Fu Riluo teaching you. Which ordinary person could have the conditions you have?”
Zhe Huali was slightly stunned.
Qin Mu said, ”Even though I'm an abandoned baby from the Great Ruins, I have the nine elders of Disabled Elderly Village teaching me, nine outstanding teachers. Furthermore, I'm also the Son of Youdu and the descendant of Founding Emperor. There's also my background and status, even though they don't help much. In addition, I'm also the overlord body.”
He shook his head. ”How can we be considered peasants? The true peasants are those ordinary people whose parents slog day and night yet still couldn't fill their stomachs. Living in such a family, three meals a day is a problem, and trying to survive is also a problem. Some places are covered with tigers and wolves, so the parents might not even live to return at night after searching for food in the morning. The people born here are still trying to work hard in the struggle, trying their best to climb and scale upwards—these people are the peasants.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
He said calmly, ”Such a person doesn't have our conditions and doesn't have our opportunities and background. They will experience many pits, many traps, and life and death struggles before finally achieving success. We aren't considered heroes among the peasants, they are.”
Zhe Huali stood up and lowered his head to think. He nodded his head and said, ”Cult Master Qin is extremely right. Compared to them, we are the ones that look like the disgusting Prince Qiu Ming.”
”Eternal Peace's reform is trying to change this situation.”
Qin Mu had a fervent gaze, and he said, ”The goal of Eternal Peace's reform is to employ everyone's talent to the fullest and make the best use of everything! Everyone can receive sufficient education with the popularization of primary schools and colleges. By imparting the paths, skills, and divine arts, it allows peasants to encounter fewer bumps in the road during their journey to become a hero, allowing everyone to unleash their potential and talent!”
He was slightly excited. ”This reform is so that the gods won't remain high above. Instead, they will have their own professions, working to the best of their abilities! Thinking about it, the future Eternal Peace will have flying ships in the sky with supplies coming to and fro, and it will be extremely sumptuous. Everyone will be able to talk to one another from tens of thousands of miles away. They will be able to reach for the stars and dive into the deep seas to catch turtles, unleashing their talent to their heart's content! They will even be able to build luxurious buildings and communicate with the different heavens, the different worlds. There will be gorgeous art and countless people to contribute their own intelligence to improve the life of the people! Zhe Huali...”
Zhe Huali stared at him dumbfoundedly, and Qin Mu said fervently, ”Have you heard of the Heavenly Saint Cult?”
Zhe Huali opened his mouth and eyes wide.
”Let's do it together!”
Qin Mu grabbed his shoulders and shook him forcefully. ”Let's carve out a cause together! No matter how much you struggle, how high can you climb in that corrupted celestial heavens? Even if you reach the top, you will merely be like Luo Wushuang, becoming the leader of the Spirit Elite Guards. There will still be countless nobility above you, and you will still have to lower your head when you meet someone like Prince Qiu Min. The future of Eternal Peace is different. You can have a higher responsibility and even more possibilities!”
Zhe Huali started to feel giddy from his shaking, and he tried to stabilize himself. It was also to stabilize his Dao heart. ”Cult Master Qin, let me consider it for a moment...”
Qin Mu let go of him and gripped his fists tightly to cheer him on. He whispered beside his ear, ”Think about your dream. Look into your inner heart and think about what you want to pursue!”
Zhe Huali's head was muddled. He felt that what Qin Mu said was very good, and it had infected his heart, so he subconsciously nodded. ”I also feel that the lower bound is much more interesting than the upper bound... However, we are trapped on this ghost ship now, and we probably can't live to get out, so what's the point of talking about this?”
Qin Mu said with a smile, ”We can get out. Haven't you noticed? I'm stronger than both you and Prince Qiu Ming, but I haven't faded yet.”
Zhe Huali grunted and felt that he had agreed too early. 'This rascal doesn't know that thing called humility!'
”Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art turned this ship into a ghost ship, and even though the divine art looks powerful, it was still built on the basis of creation divine art. This divine art reverses the substance and causes the substance to remain in an unmoving state or to even reverse the flow of the substance! However, when she executed her divine art, her divine power wasn't enough, and she didn't truly accomplish this.”
Light burst forth once more and drowned them.
Qin Mu's eyes sparkled, and he was very excited. He walked around in the light as he explained things to Zhe Huali. ”The substance of the ghost ship is still changing, but when it reaches the limit, the divine art bursts forth from the ghost ship to readjust the substance of the ghost ship, returning it back to the most primitive state.”
The light faded, and the destroyed palaces returned back to normal. The pillar with the poem had also returned to its original state.
Qin Mu still had no signs of fading, and he was even walking around Zhe Huali in excitement. ”This kind of adjustment brings about a shift in time and space, and only after time traveling thirty-six times does this divine art finish a full loop. The thirty-six resets are thirty-six small cycles. Therefore, after going through thirty-six small cycles, it would be a big cycle, returning us to the starting point! Do you understand if I simplify it like this?”
Zhe Huali stared with his eyes wide open. His gaze was blank, and he only came back to his senses after a moment. He hurriedly shook his head.
