Chapter 248: Father and Son

【Under the saints, all are ants; this has never been an empty saying.】

【It seems you were used to sneaking attacks with primordial wasteland power, so your concept of a saint has always been vague, always thinking you could do something to a prepared saint.】

【But in fact, a prepared saint can completely prevent you from using primordial wasteland power; to achieve this, all that's needed is a simple immobilization spell……】

【After casually disposing of you this minor character, Minghe formally began the wrap‑up!】

【The Six Saints' Supreme Treasures all converged on Ziying; no matter how fiercely she resisted, she ultimately could not withstand the combined suppression of the Six Saints. In anger, she began spewing profanity at the immobilized you: @#*#%!!!】

【Without a diamond, don't take on porcelain work! I thought you were formidable, but you're just a little dog!】

【You're screwing over your dad!】

【Amidst extreme reluctance and anger, Ziying was subdued by the Six Saints' Supreme Treasures, the surrounding Pangu divine power also receded; seizing the opportunity, Minghe fiercely swung his sword, cutting Ziying, who was filled with shock and anger, in half at the waist……】

【2.5 jun, reappearing once again!】

【As usual, he used the twin swords to pin each section of the jun, and Minghe, finally freeing his hands, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.】

【Only then did he look at you, Jin Bing, and the remaining hundred or so survivors, thought for a moment, and temporarily paid no attention to you.】

【Minghe turned away and solemnly began to reforge the earth's wind, water, and fire!】

【Soon, he reforged the extremely collapsed primordial wasteland into a small world, and using the method of "creation from nothing" expelled the invading Chaos.】

【He also picked up the fallen stars, fixed them in the starry sky, and they continued to operate as usual……】

【After a long while, a conspicuously smaller primordial wasteland replaced the original shattered world.】

【After finishing these, he again looked at you all, his deep gaze lingering on your face: in the process of reforging heaven and earth, he already knew the "good deed" you had done……】

【"Everyone, come to Heaven Beyond Heaven!"】

【At his command, everyone looked at each other in dismay, but still obeyed, and even carried you, who couldn't move, to Heaven Beyond Heaven together.】

【An uncertain fortune-or-misfortune doomsday trial is about to commence……】

【……】

Heaven Beyond Heaven, inside the Purple Cloud Palace.

Minghe sat at the head, while the remaining "defendants" obediently sat below.

Among them, a pale-faced black-clad youth sat at the very front……

This is a trial.

Minghe stared at the listless little fellow before him, and after a long while said:

"You did well."

Xue Xuan stared blankly, not responding, only closing his eyes.

Minghe raised an eyebrow:

"Do you seek death?"

Xue Xuan still did not speak.

What else could he say? The final resistance had completely failed, and Hongjun the Heavenly Dao was utterly suppressed.

Having lost this saintly comrade, we are nothing but fish on the chopping block!

Is there still a path we can take?

Xue Xuan, having lost all hope, only wished for a swift death!

But in the face of a saint, death is also a luxury; as long as Minghe does not want him to die, he can only seek life yet be unable to seek death……

Minghe coldly chuckled:

"How? You dare to slaughter the primordial wasteland, dare to oppose me, yet you dare not answer my question?"

Xue Xuan finally opened his eyes, his eyes filled only with stillness:

"Saint, please ask."

"Alright, I'll ask you."

Minghe spoke solemnly:

"Do you want to bring everyone together to the eternal primordial wasteland?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the secret of the Ashura?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you still obstruct me?"

Minghe asked with interest.

Xue Xuan fell silent for a moment, then countered:

"Why not obstruct? Your forcible preservation of the primordial wasteland is built on the sacrifice of countless innocents…… You are our father, why must you treat us so cruelly?"

Speaking plainly, at this point Xue Xuan no longer wanted to pretend, and bluntly questioned the saint!

This is an extremely bold act; no one in primordial wasteland history has ever done this, Xue Xuan's action is tantamount to madness.

But Minghe was not angry, only said:

"I have my own reasons……"

"What reasons?"

Xue Xuan pressed on without courtesy:

"What kind of reason makes you willing to betray your conscience and sacrifice us?"

Minghe was momentarily at a loss; this was the first time he had seen a madman who gave no face to a saint, it seems this kid truly seeks death……

But in the end, he still did not get angry, only sighed:

"It's my fault, I admit……"

"Then what?"

Xue Xuan coldly laughed:

"You belittle yourself in one sentence, can those who have already died come back to life? Or are you willing to mend your ways, make amends to the survivors, and take them to the Eternal Primordial Wasteland?"

Minghe solemnly said:

"Going to the Eternal Primordial Wast...... is also not impossible."

"If you truly wish to go, I can now take you there; I can also wipe away what happened before."

Minghe's words made Xue Xuan glance sideways, his heart trembled: "Could it be that even becoming like this can pass the level?"

What he pursued was to bring the Asura clan to the Eternal Primordial Wasteland; although most people have died now, there are still some alive:

A hundred or so Heavenly Court subordinates, and the portion of mortal souls he deliberately kept; if these people could start a new life in the Eternal Primordial Wasteland, that would also be acceptable.

Xue Xuan is not a saint; he doesn't care too much about the process, he only looks at the result!

No matter how many Asura died, as long as the survivors can live well in the Eternal Primordial Wasteland, this result meets expectations......

"Then, what is the price?"

"There's no free lunch; although Xue Xuan's heart suddenly welled up with hope, reason told him this must come at a price!"

Indeed.

Minghe slowly said:

"I have only one condition: you must never return here again."

Just that?!

Xue Xuan could hardly believe his ears:

"We're not masochists; if we can stay well in the Eternal Primordial Wasteland, why would we return to this broken ship?"

Xue Xuan was about to agree immediately!

But he suddenly hesitated, frowned and said:

"You won't let us return to the Primordial Wast...... does that mean you still want to stay here yourself?"

"Of course."

Minghe nodded:

"I bear the heavy responsibility of maintaining the Primordial Wast...... and must also focus on suppressing...... Him, of course I must continue to stay here."

"Upon hearing this, Xue Xuan seemed to grasp a key point:"

"How...... do you maintain the Primordial Wast......?"

Minghe smiled:

"You don't need to worry about this; you just need to promise me that you and they will live well there from now on......"

Xue Xuan remained silent for a moment, then spoke in a low voice:

"Are you still planning to let others go patch up the heavens?"

Minghe smiled without speaking......

【"I don't understand!"】

【"You can no longer suppress that surging emotion, and only roar at the Creator of the Asura clan: Why insist on clinging to this hopeless broken ship!!!"】

【"What the hell is the point of this broken ship!!!"】

【"Faced with your roar, Minghe seemed to want to say something, but ultimately didn't speak...... only saying: 'You just need to live well; the rest doesn't matter so much.'"】

【"You are my proudest child."】

【"Minghe's eyes held a rare kindness: you slaughtered the entire Primordial Wast......, but not for selfish desire; rather, you intended to save everyone in your own way, for which you even dared to defy the Creator......"】

【"Brutal, yet principled; ruthless, yet full of great love, carrying out heaven-defying deeds, achieving heaven-defying merit."】

【"All signs prove that you are the perfect Asura!"】

【"Child, your father feels proud of you!"】

【"The more Minghe spoke, the more excited he became, never minding that you were trembling with rage: 'Just perfect, Xuandu that bastard actually dared to insult my clan; later I will bring you to the Eternal Heavenly Court to demand an apology, and I will surely make that little Xuandu apologize to your face!'"】

【"Then I can also use this to threaten him, making him appoint you as heir; once you are familiar, let him voluntarily abdicate to you! If he doesn't abdicate, you can learn from Jin Bing of the past, strike him at the Lofty Heavens Hall, forcing him to step down!"】

【"Our Asura clan are also the protagonists of heaven and earth; how could the Heavenly Emperor's throne not be ours to sit on!"】
