Chapter 2211

Jiang Ding's mind swirled with many thoughts, then gradually calmed.

The ideological and moral assessment of the Central Array Spirit Computer had no errors; at this moment, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal could not fully represent the interests of the Immortal Sect.

In this era, the Sword Dao outweighed the entire Immortal Sect's Immortal Dao.

This is a cold material law, not something emotion can redeem.

The world is idealistic; only the existence of human emotions makes the world colorful, vibrant, and meaningful—without emotion, all matter is meaningless to living beings.

Yet the world is also materialistic; in the material world, the flow of matter and energy follows cold material laws.

Those who defy material laws never meet a good end.

In today's reality, the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal possesses productivity, R&D strength, and combat power far exceeding that of the entire Immortal Sect; to demand his complete obedience to the Sect's greater good is not objective.

Since the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal's kindergarten, the Immortal Sect has taught him that the Sect's Dao-heart consists of two pillars: benefit and emotion; the Sect will not forcibly deprive citizens of their interests under various pretexts like "greater good" or "righteousness," but any conscription will always come with compensation.

The Immortal Sect is formed by the shared interests of its citizens, not a lofty father demanding selfless sacrifice from them.

While safeguarding the Immortal Sect's interests and the greater good, every citizen should not neglect their own interests for any reason!

This is the teaching of the Immortal Sect.

The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal has done so.

Thus, the path of the Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal began to diverge from that of the Immortal Sect.

"In the future, these two diverging paths—will they ever reunite?"

Jiang Ding murmured.

Clang!

Between heaven and earth, a sound of destructive sword resonance emerged.

It was the wound where the Fortune True Dragon Son had been severed into several sections; within the gashes flowed destructive, terrifying sword qi and sword intent, clinging to every inch of the true dragon's body like a bone-deep ulcer, impossible to dispel; now, these terrifying entities, under the sword master's will, returned once more.

"Roar!"

"Roar……"

Amid the horrified gazes of all human cultivators, the severed, lifeless true dragon immortal corpse actually emitted a dragon's roar and bellow, faintly revealing the authority of the innate Fortune Great Dao, suppressing heaven and earth.

On each severed section of the dragon corpse, countless buds of flesh suddenly sprouted, rapidly elongating and connecting with the flesh buds from another severed section.

This heaven-piercing, earth-penetrating true dragon immortal corpse continually twisted, flesh regenerating, broken bones re-healing; after just a breath's time, a five-clawed Fortune Golden Dragon reappeared in the star field!

Its aura was immensely terrifying, far surpassing that of the Eight Tribulations Supreme, even exceeding the Nine Tribulations Supreme; merely its body was enough to suppress an entire star field, invincible in all directions.

"Kill!"

"Supreme Great Sun..."

"Hate! Hate hate hate hate hate..."

The true dragon immortal corpse roared angrily, faintly emitting a blurred sound of endless resentment.

"This!"

"Such a body!"

The distant Seven Slaughter Sword Venerable and other human supremes felt a jolt in their hearts.

The Fortune True Dragon Son is already dead—this must be so; the Wu Jin Kong Kong Heavenly Dao even caused blood rain to fall from the sky; what remains here is merely a true dragon immortal corpse, with no soul or spirit left within, just a cold dead thing.

But the instant the Sword Immortal's power suppressing it waned, this cold dragon corpse underwent a corpse transformation, and new life was born within the dragon corpse!

This is the innate foundation of a Nine Tribulations Supreme!

This is the future Nine Tribulations Corpse Dragon, inheriting partial memories of the True Dragon Immortal Son!

If left unchecked, within at most a hundred thousand years, a Nine Tribulations Supreme will be born, causing terrifying turmoil affecting dozens of star fields; trillions of living beings will die because of it; a Nine Tribulations Corpse Dragon's thirst for living beings' blood and souls is endless, and no one can resist this terrifying disaster.

"Hate hate hate!"

"Kill! Kill..."

This corpse dragon's will, born from resentment, has not yet formed a true sentient will; under the instinctive drive of endless resentment, it lunged toward the nearby blue-clad youth.

In an instant, a terrifying illusory manifestation of the innate Fortune Great Dao appeared, suppressing an entire star field, causing countless beings to feel fear and unease.

"Not having carved fear into your comrade's corpse,"

"This is my fault."

Jiang Ding said lightly.

Facing such a young opponent, he had no interest in drawing his sword.

Clang!

The will of the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul flashed and vanished.

The true dragon immortal corpse's body instantly stiffened, began to show faint traces of spiritual light, its great dragon eyes dimmed again into deathly stillness; the heaven-piercing, earth-penetrating dragon corpse fell from the starry sky, landing before the blue-clad youth.

Jiang Ding casually cast a corpse-sealing talisman, storing the dragon corpse into his storage jade pendant.

If this were an age without True Dragon Immortals being born, this dragon corpse could be invincible in all directions, called a Nine Tribulations Supreme, a Dragon Emperor, and would surely leave an epic record beneath the stars.

But in this era, this dragon corpse is merely a toy.

The Supreme Great Sun True Dragon Fortune War thus ended, the victor gaining everything.

Jiang Ding glanced over, his gaze falling upon the battlefield.

On the battlefield, living beings still survived—remnants of the Fortune True Dragon Immortal Dynasty's Nine Armies Guard, numbering in the hundreds of millions, among whom were human powerhouses, True Dragon clan powerhouses, Phoenix clan powerhouses, and powerhouses of myriad races.

At the final moment of battle, these powerhouses had lost their value; the Fortune True Dragon Son did not force these subordinates to bury themselves with him, nor did he follow them; instead, with some remaining strength, he protected these myriad-race powerhouses who followed him.

In this regard, this person possesses the bearing of an emperor.

In fact, the number of surviving Fortune True Dragon Guards initially exceeded two billion, comprising all races, having survived by extraordinary luck.

After confirming the Fortune True Dragon Son's death, most myriad-race powerhouses said nothing, committed suicide, and followed the True Dragon Son away, unwilling to be left as captives.

What remained was only these hundreds of millions, the last guard of the Fortune True Dragon Immortal Dynasty.

"Zhenjun He Huan Dao Friend,"

Jiang Ding spoke softly.

The Bliss Dao Sovereign, the former Bliss Saintess, was responsible for intelligence and propaganda in the Supreme Great Sun Dao Court.

"Sword Sovereign."

"Please give your orders."

The Bliss Dao Sovereign instantly appeared before the blue-clad youth, gazing at him with a hint of resentment.

Since ancient times, the Dao Sovereign of the Bliss Sacred Land has been a consort of the Human Emperor, but no one expected to encounter this generation's human sword immortal, who has no interest in this matter at all.

"Erect a mausoleum and give a proper burial to the True Dragon Child Daoist."

"Although an enemy, this Daoist still possesses some dignity, did not exterminate human beings, and many human immortal sects exist within his domain; even at death, he preserved much decorum."

Jiang Ding ignored the other's resentment and spoke calmly.

In the Wu Jin Kong Kong, beings able to converse with the sword immortal are few and far between; now that the other has died, I feel a slight sorrow, and a proper burial is fitting—after all, we are of the same kind.

Such measures should also somewhat pacify the myriad cultivators of the various star domains.

The Supreme Great Sun Sword Immortal will not allow the myriad cultivators to grow powerful.

Yet he also needs them, will grant them a place, for the True Dragon Immortal Clan, Phoenix Immortal Clan, and other races have achieved brilliant results in certain immortal Dao technological directions, and these beings can promote the development of the Supreme Great Sun Immortal Dao system.
