Chapter 747: The Truth Behind Qin Jian Being Schemed Against

"Slow, slow, slow, slow, slow!"

The Divine Voice finally grew anxious.

"Hum!"

Qin Jian's Light Sword hovered right at his brow, coming to an abrupt halt.

"Whew..."

That God King outside the Plane clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

The countless living beings of Douluo Star wore strange expressions; they, too, had sensed something amiss from the God King's reaction.

The King of Gods, who stood high above, how could he be so down-to-earth? There must be some unspeakable secret of his!

With the sense of mystery shattered, the awe in everyone's hearts dropped significantly.

Often, the unknown is the most terrifying; once seen, there is no longer so much uncertainty.

"Do you intend to tell the truth now?"

Qin Jian looked at the sky with an expressionless face: "I do not care for fame before or after death; I only care about the present, every single present moment. I do my best, and let others praise or blame me as they will, so stop with those empty words."

The God King remained silent.

"You don't want to say it, then?"

Qin Jian gave a mocking smile: "Then goodbye."

Swish!

The Light Sword soared into the air once more, falling again with the force of Qianjun.

"Stop! I'll speak! I'll speak!"

The God King was truly driven to distraction by Qin Jian's "professional victim" behavior and hurriedly spoke up, which finally made him stop.

Yet, after this repeated tossing and turning, many people's awe for him plummeted.

"Speak."

Qin Jian crossed his arms, looking leisurely.

A Level 30 Great Soul Master suppressing the aura of a God King—this scene was worth remembering...

The God King said in a very helpless tone: "A God Position is the manifestation of rules and the representation of ruthlessness, so the gods who obtain a God Position will also slowly become ruthless. No matter how one resists, it is useless, and the more violently one resists, the shorter the time one spends on the God Position."

"And you, you are actually the manifestation of the world's emotional rules. If your rules could be stripped away and integrated into all God Positions, then the originally ruthless God Position rules would no longer be restrictive, and the gods of the God Realm would not be rejected by their God Positions. Thus, all gods could possess their God Positions for a long time."

"Therefore, everything we did was to allow the manifestation of emotion, which you represent, to be integrated into the God Positions."

Only now did Qin Jian fully understand the reason for all of this.

"Isn't it still for your own selfish gain? I truly cannot see how you forcing me like this is for the sake of the entire world. When it comes down to it, isn't it just that you are jealous of what I have?"

He sneered: "You want to stay on your God Positions forever and not be rejected, so you want my emotion rules to fuse with the God Positions, is that it?"

"For this, you schemed against those I love and those who love me, made them come to kill me, and schemed against me, wanting me to despair time and time again..."

"You speak incessantly of the world, yet it is nothing but private desire."

"How truly shameless!"

Qin Jian's voice echoed, and for a moment, it was very quiet.

The gods' image of being glorious, great, and upright was questioned, and the awe and faith of many collapsed.

"No, the God King is the King of Gods and cannot be wrong."

The Divine Voice was vast and mighty.

"The changing of God Positions brings turmoil and chaos. Every generation of gods has their own ideas, and in the end, they cannot carry out long-term planning..."

"If the God Positions can be stabilized, then the God Realm will also remain stable. In this way, the gods can lead the thousands of Planes forward, unrestricted by time."

Qin Jian's expression was strange: "Lifetime tenure versus term limits?"

"Correct. Only by being a god for life can the stable operation of the God Realm be guaranteed," the Divine Voice said.

Qin Jian rubbed his forehead: "Then I think it's better to change a batch of gods every so often. That way, if a problem arises, there is still a chance to rectify it."

The Divine Voice was silent for a while longer, then said: "I once asked you a question about who pushes the world forward. Do you remember?"

Qin Jian was stunned, then realized: "So, the person who impersonated Su Yuntao was you."

"Correct. You once said that this world is pushed forward by everyone, but I told you that the world is led forward by a few."

The Divine Voice said slowly: "At that time, what I wanted to tell you was that this world is led forward by gods, and the God Realm is led by me. As long as I am in this position, this great world will get better and better. I am certain of it."

"But I don't believe it."

Qin Jian sneered: "Everyone has their own value, no matter how big or small. You think you will never make a mistake? That is too arrogant."

"No, I may make mistakes, but if I am Huihuo, there is my wife Life to restore things, and if Evil sweeps across the world, there is naturally Goodness to redeem it. We check and balance each other and move forward together."

The Divine Voice said: "The current gods of the God Realm come from various Planes. They are the most outstanding people of their respective Planes. As long as this batch of gods exists, both the God Realm and the thousands of Planes can maintain stability and prosperity."

"But now, many gods are being forced to leave their positions, and the future will be unpredictable."

Qin Jian suddenly said: "Are you also among those forced to leave their God Positions?"

The Divine Voice was silent for a moment: "Yes."

A slight uproar sounded between heaven and earth, but it quickly died down.

"For a God Position that is a manifestation of the rules of heaven and earth, it doesn't matter who holds it on their behalf. The God Position itself will screen for suitable people. If there really is a god who can be selfless and impartial, then they can possess the God Position forever, because they are almost the rules themselves," Qin Jian said, looking up.

"As long as one is human, there will always be selfishness and emotion. It is impossible to become the rules," the Divine Voice said.

"Then abide by it, change generation after generation, and believe that those who come after can also lead the world forward."

Qin Jian stood with his hands behind his back, indifferent: "Do you really think that no one who comes after can compare to you?"

"Even if someone could compare to me, during the time the God Position is vacant, the rules will not have the slightest bias."

The Divine Voice said meaningfully: "Only when a God Position is held by someone can it consistently make choices beneficial to people."

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent; they treat all things as straw dogs. The sage is not benevolent; he treats the common people as straw dogs."

Qin Jian shook his head: "You are biased toward the Human Clan, so you are not suitable to remain in that position forever. To truly replace the Heavenly Heart, one must view all things in heaven and earth as straw dogs, treating them all equally, and reach the Bodhi state where I am others."

"No wonder you have always been unwilling to sacrifice yourself; it turns out it is because you are a Soul Beast, and naturally, you do not wish for the Human Clan to flourish."

Shen Yin spoke words that pierced the heart: "I promise you, after the matter is accomplished, you will be resurrected, and at the same time, the power of the God Position of Heartlessness will be no lower than any God King; you can protect your own race, how about that?"

If Qin Jian were moved by his conditions, he would lose the trust of all the Human Clan.

"I do not think this is a good idea."

Qin Jian said without hesitation: "Furthermore, I do not believe this world needs gods."

"What are you saying?" Shen Yin was visibly enraged.

Qin Jian instead gave a chuckle: "You are so earnest in wanting me to sacrifice myself, spouting all sorts of high-sounding words, along with your overt and covert schemes—this is simply not what a rule would do."

"A rule without preferences would only indifferently watch this world operate."

"Sacrifice one person to benefit more people?"

"It is simply a joke!"
