Chapter 250

Regarding Ming He's remarks on the "Eternal Primordial Wilderness", they completely made you sound like an idiot: "Eternal Primordial Wilderness is... fake?"

"For now, it's still true."

Ming He looked at you helplessly: "But if you insist on continuing to fight me, it will soon become fake..."

"You need to think clearly: once the Primordial Wilderness is destroyed, and the Heavenly Dao cannot become a new Pangu, then what will be sacrificed will not just be our Asura Clan."

"Humans, the Wu Clan, the Demon Race, innate divinities... all beings who flee into the Eternal Primordial Wilderness, including the Six Sages, will be no different from death!"

In Ming He's words, there is a sense of helplessness and mission: You think I became a sage how? I am specifically here to do this!

"The Dao Ancestor, in a time of peril, entrusted me with a command, allowing me to become the last sage of the Primordial Wilderness; in exchange, I must exert all my effort to safeguard the Primordial Wilderness, bearing the final thread of life for all beings, and continue onward..."

"You always thought you were the rightful weightlifting champion of the Primordial Wilderness, but upon hearing the Father God's grave words, you suddenly felt a sense of shared suffering."

"You bear on your shoulders the countless Asura Clan of the five realms and four seas, while Ming He also bears on his shoulders the countless myriad races and spirits of the Eternal Primordial Wilderness!"

"The two of you are indeed 'father and son', both weightlifting champions of the Primordial Wilderness..."

"As for Jin Bing, as an observer, he quickly discovered the hidden key information from Ming He's words, and couldn't help but ask: 'Venerable One, are you saying your sage position was personally granted by the Dao Ancestor, not bestowed by the Six Sages?'"

"Of course!"

"When it came to his own legitimacy, Ming He immediately straightened his expression and said: 'Exactly, it was personally granted by the Dao Ancestor to me!'"

"Jin Bing then asked: 'Where did Red Cloud go?'"

"'Red Cloud? Hah!'"

"Mentioning this former rival, Ming He's eyes showed contempt: 'Red Cloud, that waste, held the purple qi but could never comprehend the path to sagehood, and refused to let go... In the end, the Dao Ancestor personally seized his purple qi and gave it to me!'"

"After I obtained the purple qi, I quickly comprehended the fundamental law of the Heavenly Dao; plus, I had merit for protecting humanity's journey to the Eternal Primordial Wilderness, which was boundless, and furthermore I created the Asura Clan, ultimately allowing me to smoothly attain the sage's path..."

"Ming He elaborated on his method of becoming a sage, his tone inevitably proud!"

"Yet these words, upon reaching your ears, left you puzzled: Ming He became a sage, not with the Six Sages' tacit approval?"

"And what about the Six Sages? Why are they hiding in the Eternal Primordial Wilderness?"

"In fact, you have always found the Six Sages' actions in the whole decline calamity puzzling: abandoning the Primordial Wilderness to open up the Eternal Primordial Wilderness; if the Eternal Primordial Wilderness is truly reliable, then what is Ming He preserving the old Primordial Wilderness for?"

"According to Ming He's words, the Eternal Primordial Wilderness is utterly useless! Rather than hiding there in a dreamlike state, it would be better to help Ming He continue maintaining the Primordial Wilderness, which would surely extend the duration of the Primordial Heaven and Earth far beyond now."

"And now they have fled meaninglessly, while Ming He must go suppress the prison; thus this broken ship of the Primordial Wilderness can only be patched by the lives of the Asura Clan... Basically, it can be said that all this is due to the Six Sages' inaction."

"Could the Six Sages have lost their minds?"

"The Six Sages?"

"Ming He chuckled: Because the Six Sages have already done their utmost."

"Once the Primordial Wilderness's diffusion can no longer be effectively filled, destruction is already destined; the Six Sages precisely saw the impending doom, and thus they opened up the Eternal Primordial Wilderness."

"There, even if the old Primordial Wilderness has entered the age of decline, all beings can still live in the most abundant environment, without worrying about resource scarcity."

"If the Heavenly Dao cannot become a new Pangu, then everyone can perish without pain."

"But if the Heavenly Dao becomes a new Pangu, then we can simply transfer people from the Eternal Primordial Wilderness back over then..."

"In short, the Six Sages have made thorough preparations; whether success or failure, no one will suffer!"

"This is essentially the optimal solution..."

"But you still don't understand: 'If the Six Sages have long ceased to care about anything, why are they still helping you maintain the Primordial Wilderness?'"

"Help me?"

"Ming He exclaimed in surprise: 'When have the Six Sages ever helped me?'"

"You scratched your head: 'The Six Sages' treasures are all in your hands; isn't that already help?'"

"You say this? This wasn't given to me by the Six Sages!"

"Ming He laughed, pointing a hand at Jin Bing: 'These Six Sages' treasures are his... his true form, which he entrusted to me before his departure!'"

"Ah!!"

"You and Jin Bing are bewildered: How could the Six Sages' magical treasures be given to Ming He by the Heavenly Emperor Jin? And what about this 'true form'... what exactly is the relationship between this counterfeit and the genuine?"

"A string of questions filled your heart..."

"\"Back when the Eternal Primordial Wilderness was first opened, the destruction of the Primordial Wilderness had already reached an irreversible point, so the Dao Ancestor ordered all beings to enter the Eternal Primordial Wilderness within a deadline. \""

"Ming He slowly recounted the past: 'However, the former Heavenly Emperor and the human tribe's great chieftain Jin Bing, despite having offended the Heavenly Dao, were still suppressed beneath Mount Buzhou, causing Xuan Du and others to be extremely anxious to rescue him.'"

"'But this matter was too great; the Six Sages were reluctant to speak up, and I had just accepted the Dao Ancestor's command to remain and become a sage to safeguard the Primordial Wilderness, so Xuan Du and the others sought me out, asking me to intervene and rescue Jin Bing...'"

"This account matches exactly the record you accidentally found on Mount Shouyang!"

"'I agreed, and personally went to the Purple Cloud Palace to see the Dao Ancestor, pleading for his release... ultimately Jin Bing was saved.'"

"'After Jin Bing learned of my plan, he thought that relying solely on my own strength would make it difficult to suppress the Heavenly Dao, so he procured the Six Sages' treasures for me... and thanks to his gift, otherwise I would have long been unable to restrain the Heavenly Dao, and the Primordial Wilderness would have faced early destruction.'"

"Speaking of these past favors, Ming He looked at the counterfeit Jin Bing with deep feeling: 'Thank you!'"

"The favor of the true Heavenly Emperor is not yet finished!"

"Now it's clear: Ming He's reason for answering your questions with ignorance, yet being forthcoming with Jin Bing, is precisely because he owes a debt of gratitude to that Heavenly Emperor Jin!"

"And Jin Bing feels somewhat at a loss, after all he is not the genuine article, and truly cannot bear this expression of thanks..."

"Then what is he about?"

"You look at Jin Bing, bewildered: 'And what about Xuan Du, Di Jun, Guang Chengzi, and the others... what exactly are they?'"

"Ming He chuckled: 'They are all the gratitude I received for rescuing Jin Bing... and also the test subjects I created when I fashioned the Asura Clan.'"

"\"I wanted to become a sage, so I needed to create a brand-new race like Nüwa, but this race could not be ordinary; it had to be a heavenly-earth protagonist like humanity! \""

"Heaven-and-earth protagonist!"

"This keyword not only aroused your curiosity, but also drew Jin Bing's intense attention..."

"\"What is a heaven-and-earth protagonist? \""

"Ming He solemnly replied: 'The so-called heaven-and-earth protagonist refers to a race \"like Pangu\"!'"

"Here, the 'like' refers not only to having the same physical form as Pangu, but also to sharing the same nature as Pangu."

【"For example, the human race: Nüwa created humans from mud and river water that are everywhere; the materials used were extremely ordinary, yet not ordinary…… because the mud is Pangu's flesh and blood, and the river water is Pangu's blood."】

【"Nüwa conjured Pangu's True Spirit from Pangu's flesh and blood out of thin air; the human race she created is actually equivalent to Pangu's genetically cloned humans, and the Heavenly Dao naturally favors them, granting them special treatment……"】

【"I, the Asura clan, am similar to the human race, but unlike the human race's method of conjuring Pangu's True Spirit from Pangu's flesh and blood, the Asura clan is exactly the opposite: I am the Pangu flesh and blood created from Pangu's True Spirit!"】

【"Minghe proudly said: 'My method of creation is on par with Nüwa's, and the Asura race I created is not inferior to the human race, so I am also the Heaven and Earth's Main Character!'"】

【"However, unlike gaining merit by helping the human race, Asuras gain cultivation progress the more they kill……"】

【"I let the Asura clan slaughter each other, which can make their cultivation progress rapidly; they can even become True Immortals in a short time in an environment lacking spiritual energy, thus allowing us to fill the holes in the Primordial Wilderness eroded by Chaos with vast numbers of True Immortals……"】

【"In Minghe's arrogant statement, the Asura clan are entirely innate consumables for mending heaven: they are born quickly, raised quickly, cultivate quickly, and leave the pen quickly……"】

【"Is there anything more perfect as a consumable than this?! The human race? Just outdated old fogeys!"】

【"But what you hear is not pleasant: the Creator personally admits that Asuras are perfect consumables…… yet you must also admit that this is correct."】

【"If it weren't for these perfect consumables, the Primordial Wilderness would have already headed toward destruction in the internal strife between Minghe and Laojun, and couldn't have lasted until today……"】

【"For a moment, you couldn't help but feel doubtful: could it be that your idea of saving humanity is wrong?"】

【"No!"】

【"You gritted your teeth: 'No one should be a consumable! Even if the Creator personally admits it, it's not allowed, because life belongs to everyone, and the Creator has no right to decide everyone's fate for them!'"】

【"Minghe, you're wrong!"】

【"You firmed up your resolve……"】

【"Meanwhile, Jin Bing wasn't overly concerned about whether the Asura were heaven's chosen consumables; his focus was on information concerning his own origins and related to the 'Heaven and Earth's Main Character'."】

【"During the era when the Heavenly Dao normally monitored the Primordial Wilderness, these things were absolute secrets known only to sages, yet Jin Bing had busied himself for three lifetimes without knowing any of this information……"】

【"This also counts as an unexpected gain: Laojun was suppressed, and Minghe explained the crucial points clearly, thoroughly answering Jin Bing's long-standing confusion!"】

【"The human race was produced by conjuring from Pangu's flesh and blood…… no wonder they receive special treatment……"】

【"Jin Bing sighed deeply: this secret came too late; now the Primordial Wilderness is already the end times, and even if we knew, what could we do? Ultimately it's just extinction……"】

【"No!"】

【"Jin Bing suddenly tensed, the last glimmer of hope in his eyes projecting onto you: things are not without a turning point."】

【"As the protagonist chosen by 'another self,' you are hope itself!"】

【"He believes in you, and also believes in you."】

【"Zhao Si, you'll find a way!"】

【"……"】
