985 To Put Oneself in Anothers Shoes (1/2)

Within Carefree Village's 33 heavens, everyone had sensed the surging consciousness from Divine King Lang Wo.

The masters of creation had attacked them with such great fanfare yet had announced that they were actually here to make peace, intending to have a meeting with Founding Emperor. This seemed to be a little strange.

The masters of creation came with an overpowering aura and, judging by the scene, it was evident that they had a definite upper-hand and that it would only be too easy for them to exterminate Carefree Village. So how could it be possible that they would want to make peace under such circumstances?

”It's most likely a trap to lure Founding Emperor out so that they can eliminate him!” This was the guess that many had.

Looking at the scene right now, it really did look like a trap.

However, at this time, a goddess with unparalleled beauty flew out from the masters of creation camp. She gently drew a line in the space between their camp and Carefree Village, and a platform appeared in the void. Everyone was able to see clearly all happenings on that platform.

The female divine king's figure grew smaller and smaller, and finally, she was the size of a regular person. She flew onto the platform with a youthful-looking male dressed in red robes, alongside a huge head, and they waited there quietly.

In the Carefree Village Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens, Founding Emperor was silent for a moment before he said to Qin Hanzhen and Yan Yunxi, ”Both of you shall accompany me there. Remember, you must not call him by his name. Addressing him as Celestial Venerable Mu or holy infant will do.”

Qin Hanzhen and Yan Yunxi agreed.

Yan Yunxi laughed. ”King Zhen is his birth father, so he probably won't be too harsh.”

Qin Hanzhen remained silent.

The three of them flew out from the Founding Emperor Celestial Heavens and landed on that platform, facing Qin Mu, Divine King Lang Wo, and Divine King Shu Jun directly.

Qin Mu waved his hand, and a long table appeared alongside six chairs with each pair of chairs facing each other. He raised a hand and smiled. ”Celestial Venerable Qin, please take a seat.”

”Mu…”

Qin Hanzhen opened his mouth to speak, but he quickly corrected himself. ”Celestial Venerable Mu, after you.”

Everyone got into their seats. This platform was in the central zone that divided the two camps, and everything that happened on the platform could be observed clearly by either party.

Qin Mu and Divine King Lang Wo sat down, while Divine King Shu Jun also rested in his chair. Divine King Shu Jun's huge eyes rolled about, inspecting the three sitting opposite them.

Divine King Lang Wo said, ”Qin Ye, this is the holy infant of my masters of creation race.”

The Founding Emperor nodded and replied, ”I've long heard of your great name.”

Qin Mu smiled slightly in return.

Divine King Lang Wo continued, ”This is Divine King Shu Jun, a divine king from the previous generation of our masters of creation race.”

Founding Emperor replied, ”I've long heard of your great name.”

Divine King Shu Jun laughed. ”You must not have heard of my title, as I have been dead for god knows how many tens of thousands of years.”

Founding Emperor smiled slightly, and Yan Yunxi beside him laughed. ”It's truly interesting that the holy infant of the masters of creation is the great Celestial Venerable Mu. Is Celestial Venerable Mu not of the human race?”

Qin Mu smiled but didn't reply. Divine King Lang Wo looked around and said, ”The holy infant has the ability to create, so there's no issue as to whether he is from the human race or the masters of creation race. If there are too deep-rooted prejudices amongst races, it would just make us look petty and narrow-minded.”

Yan Yunxi smiled. ”Back then, that wasn't what Divine King Lang Wo said. Back then, when we came to the Paramita World to build Carefree Village, Divine King Lang Wo and the masters of creation race viewed us as aliens who came to invade you, and you intended to annihilate us.”

Divine King Lang Wo glanced at her. The hanging beads on her phoenix crown shook slightly, and she replied steadily, ”Every inch of land and every area of space of the Paramita World was forged by the consciousness of my masters of creation race. It is soaked in the fresh blood of our people. After experiencing the near extinction of our race, the masters of creation escaped to this place. It is the final resting and repopulating ground of our race. When Dao friend Qin Ye came here from afar, our race was always welcoming and courteous, and we never cheated you, am I right?”

Founding Emperor nodded. ”When I first followed the map and came here, that is true. I am indebted to Divine King's cordial hospitality, and I cannot thank you enough.”

Divine King Lang Wo continued, ”Dao friend Qin Ye said that your people were in danger and had come here to borrow some resting ground. On account of us sharing a similar fate, our people allowed you to stay here for survival. Dao friend Qin Ye, you said you would like to borrow a small piece of land that would be divided by your sword, and we agreed, am I right?”

Founding Emperor nodded silently.

Divine King Lang Wo continued coldly, ”We treated you with sincerity, yet with one strike of your sword, Dao friend Qin Ye sliced away half the land in my Paramita World. Although my race is generous, we aren't generous to such an extent. We were sincere towards you, yet Dao friend Qin Ye played tricks with us. If you were in our shoes and others were to come and take away half of your Carefree Village, would you be agreeable?”

Yan Yunxi replied, ”Although His Majesty did play a trick when he asked for the small piece of land divided by his sword, the masters of creation race also didn't keep to their word. Instead, they led their people to attack us. This resulted in casualties on both ends. The people of Carefree Village suffered even greater losses…”

Divine King Lang Wo laughed coldly. ”As to what is right and what is wrong, does Heavenly Teacher Zi Xi not have an answer in your heart?”

Yan Yunxi replied, ”The number of people and gods and devils that died at the hands of you, the masters of creation, is thousands of times more than the number of you who have died. Where do these dead people go to redress their injustices? How do you speak of what is right and wrong? Divine King, Carefree Village never wanted to become enemies with the masters of creation. We merely sought a place to rest. His Majesty also said back then that we were only borrowing land for our survival, that he was waiting for someone to come. When that person comes, we will leave this place and return Carefree Village to you. So why is it that you are all intent on annihilating us?”

Shu Jun raged, saying, ”You came to invade my race, and you don't allow us to retaliate? Is that reasonable?”
