Chapter 675: Under the great power of an Aeon, the sacrifice of mortals is like a joke

~4 min read 613 words

"It was a broken skiff deck with fire filling the sky."

The next second, Lord Yu Kong looked up at the Jade Realm Gate, her eyes filled with deep memories, and she continued softly: "I held Cai Yi's body and sat on the ground. Cai Yi only had one last breath left at the time."

"She used that last breath to thank me, saying she had lived a good life, but not to let her child, Qing Ni, follow this path."

"Do not let Qing Ni become a fighter-ship pilot."

"After leaving these words, Cai Yi passed away."

"When I crawled out of the wreckage of the skiff burning with raging flames, what I saw was the sky of that planet, without blood, without tears, and without atmospheric modification."

"Although it was the most beautiful sky I had ever seen, I only felt unbearable sorrow."

"I was like a damn ant, crawling on the ground, staring at it longingly."

"In my dreams, I died that day."

Having said this, Lord Yu Kong fell silent and did not speak again.

Qing Ni remained silent for a long time before slowly saying: "This is the first time I've heard you talk about that incident."

"But, Mom, I am no longer an ignorant child."

"Becoming a fighter-ship pilot is a cruel path, and I have long been prepared. A fighter-ship pilot is not a child playing house."

"Even if it is dangerous, I will not shrink back because of it."

"I am not afraid that I will follow the same path as Mom Cai Yi."

"If sacrifice can bring happiness to the common people on the Xianzhou, then I am willing to go to my death generously."

When she said this, Qing Ni's expression was resolute and earnest.

Hearing Qing Ni's words, Lord Yu Kong felt no anger or rage, but instead gazed at Qing Ni's eyes and face.

Looking at the determination in Qing Ni's eyes, Lord Yu Kong suddenly laughed lightly and said: "You are really like Cai Yi."

"So all these years, the more outstanding you are, the more afraid I become."

"I know you have been prepared for a long time, but I have never been prepared."

"Qing Ni, do you know?"

Having said this, Lord Yu Kong paused and said slowly: "Those cruel things never defeated me."

"I, Cai Yi, and your biological father, Guang Yuan, at the beginning of our enlistment, we had also prepared ourselves in our hearts."

"But do you know how we finally achieved victory in that battle that took away Cai Yi and hundreds of thousands of comrades?"

Hearing Lord Yu Kong's words, Qing Ni frowned and hesitated: "It was the divine arrow of the Reignbow Arbiter."

"Yes."

Lord Yu Kong's expression was complex: "The vast divine grace of the Reignbow Arbiter quelled those Abominations of Abundance with just one strike, but just to obstruct the advance of those abominations, we paid the price of hundreds of thousands of lives."

"If for the Reignbow Arbiter, crushing those Abominations of Abundance is as simple as breathing, then what does our sacrifice count for?"

"Under the great power of an Aeon, the sacrifice of mortals is like a joke, it is nothing."

"Mom..."

Hearing Lord Yu Kong's words, Cai Yi fell silent.

At this moment, she also didn't know how to comfort her mother.

"But I should not make decisions for others because of my fear."

Lord Yu Kong slowly closed her eyes and said softly: "Even if you, Qing Ni, are my daughter."

"I crudely interfered with your life choices. I'm sorry, Qing Ni, this is my dereliction of duty as a mother." ===== CHAPTER 676 =====
