Chapter 569: Inconsequential (1/2)
”Ancestor Shu Qing… I had to kill them… my son… my husband, I had to end them to save the others.”
Many of the younger generations might think that those who fight for eons do it because they enjoy its thrill. That the Ancestors fight to fill their blood boil and to spread their names, no, that could not be any further from the truth.
The leaders of the Major Powers do not simply fight because they are bored, no, they do it so they could protect those important to them. Their long lives led to the fight because they have people to protect.
However, with the invasion, many of them lost everything and everyone, Wang Shu Qing knew of this truth, [Mu Wei really suffered.]
Wang Shu Qing couldn't even imagine killing his family for the sake of survival. Wang Shu Qing could understand her desire to die, ”But, you cannot die, yet, we still have to fight… to protect those who are left.”
Mu Wei slowly raised her head, and with despair in her eyes, she asked him, ”Are we really needed? The All-Father, and the All-Mother are already here, and they can decimate anything and everything, we are but ants in the tiny way of what they can do.”
Mu Wei, one of the last remaining Elves was once such person. She was heading back to her Family when the invasion happened and when she arrived, only a quarter of her people remained.
The Masters all slain and simply buying time, and the Great Tree of life burning down with like the rest of the forest. Mu Wei hurried to get to them as quickly as she could and fought back the Revenants and the Demons.
She steeled her resolve to slay those who had been transformed into Demons. She wanted to cry with every swing, but she fought them back just so she could save what remained, but even that ended in failure.
She was beaten, and at the last moments, the Great Tree of Life gave its existence to her and brought forth enlightenment that granted her the ability to cross the line of an Ascendant cultivator to that of a God and match the Ancestors of the past.
With her newfound strength Mu Wei slaughtered the Revenants and the Demons. She attained victory, but when she turned around, what used to number hundreds of thousands became a mere few thousand, almost everyone was slain… including her son and husband who fought valiantly to defend against the first wave of the invasion.
Mu Wei barely managed to keep them alive and she was at her last straws as to what she should do. Her body reverted to its peak a minute later as more portals opened, and with the remaining elves behind her, Mu Wei resolved herself to death.
But then, the skies parted as a White Portal of unknown origin appeared. A woman wearing red robes descended like a Goddess that bestowed life by her presence. Mu Wei and the Elves are known for their beauty, but no one could even dare claim they could match even a sliver of her luster and behind her was an army of Deities.
The Goddess looked at the carnage and raised her hand, ”Destroy them all.” Thus, her hands descended.
The Deities acted upon receiving a command. They charged towards the unholy beings and with another wave of her hand, space warped and the fight was sent to another dimension, far from the already ravaged lands of the Elves.
