Chapter 1187: What are your requirements?

"Chen Yu has one good point, which is that he never jokes." Sanwei understood Chen Yu quite well; she smiled and said, "If he says he can help you solve it, he will definitely be able to help you solve it."

"Then what are your requirements?" Tianxin knew clearly that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; if Chen Yu was doing this, he must have requirements.

"No requirements, the five hundred kilometers of mountains in Shu need someone to manage them." Chen Yu said, "Dragon Breath does not wish for the Cultivation World to be a scattered mess; it needs rules to constrain it."

"Is this Dragon Breath's idea?" Tianxin was slightly startled.

She knew clearly in her heart what kind of place Dragon Breath was. There were no rules for Dharma Cultivators in the world; Dragon Breath's intervention might give the Cultivation World a brand-new set of rules.

Of course, this was a long road that would require a long time and a great deal of effort to realize.

After all, Dharma Cultivators with profound strength would certainly not submit to discipline, and there were countless experts among the hundreds of large and small cultivation sects.

Therefore, it was extremely difficult to achieve this, but at the very least, Dragon Breath intended to take this step.

"Yes, although it wasn't explicitly stated, at least they have this idea." Chen Yu nodded.

Suddenly, a Chaos Stone Array appeared ahead. Every stone was engraved with Ancient Divine Script. The stones varied in size; the tall ones were several stories high, while the small ones were only the size of a fist.

Inside the Chaos Stone Array, more than a dozen corpses lay scattered in disarray.

Judging by their attire, this was a team of mercenaries, and there was actually a bald man in a suit and leather shoes among them.

It was very clear that this group was the same as the group that died in the spider nest; they had accidentally received a calling and thus came to this place to explore, but they probably never dreamed that they would sleep here forever.

Not a single person in this place was intact. It was unknown who had blundered into the array and triggered it; the stones flew up, and the giant boulders smashed these people until their severed limbs and broken arms were flying everywhere.

One of the bodyguards had his lower body smashed into a bloody mess, but he was actually still alive, though he only had one breath left.

Blood was flowing from his mouth, and he was desperately reaching his hand out toward Chen Yu.

With a flick of his right hand, Chen Yu locked the stone that had triggered the giant stone array, and only then did he walk into the array.

"Save... save me." The bodyguard's desire to survive was very strong. Seeing someone come, a look of longing appeared in his eyes.

Chen Yu frowned deeply. This man's lower body had vanished, his intestines were exposed and his stomach was ruined; it was a miracle that he could hold on until now without dying.

If it came to saving him, he could preserve the other party's life, but it would consume an immense amount of mental energy.

Moreover, even if he were saved, he would be a cripple; Chen Yu had no way to reattach his lower body.

"I can save you, but from now on you will only have an upper body. Is a life worse than death really what you want?" Chen Yu sighed slightly as he stared at the man.

The bodyguard's expression faltered slightly; Chen Yu's words completely destroyed his desire to survive.

The bodyguard himself was a king of mercenaries; his past was in war-torn regions abroad, and he was a strong man.

Such a person had his lower body smashed to pieces by giant boulders, and he had been able to hold on until now, but what he could not accept was his future life.

Yes, even if he could survive, what would it matter? He had already become a cripple; for the rest of his life, he wouldn't even have the chance to sit in a wheelchair.

Because his lower body was nowhere to be found, his best destination would be lying in bed for the rest of his life.

The bodyguard's lips moved, and then he struggled to open his eyes to look at Chen Yu: "Give me a quick end."

Chen Yu nodded slightly and tapped a vital point on him. The bodyguard's expression faltered slightly, then his eyes slowly closed, and his life ended there.

"Why didn't you save him?" Sanwei was very puzzled by this.

"Because after being saved, he would only be able to lie in bed for the rest of his life. Aside from his mouth, there wouldn't be a single part of his body that could move."

Chen Yu said: "For him, this is a rather unacceptable thing."

"So rather than living, it is better to end it himself."

"But haven't you humans also said that it is better to live a miserable life than to die?" Sanwei expressed great dissatisfaction with this.

"You don't understand us humans." Chen Yu shook his head slightly and said: "Human thinking changes in an instant, and everyone's personality is different, so the choices they make are different."

"For example, what kind of person was he?" Sanwei glanced at the bodyguard who had just died and said.

"A former king who walked through the fires of war; he could not accept a life of lying in a wheelchair for the rest of his days." Chen Yu shook his head and said: "So when I told him these things, his desire to survive was completely gone."

"After all, not everyone has the courage to face a life of disability. He had his pride, so he would not allow the rest of his life to be lived like a dog." Chen Yu said, then added one more sentence: "Perhaps, even worse than a dog."

"I really cannot understand the thinking of you humans." Sanwei shook her head slightly.

For this person, she felt more pity; in fact, for her, living was more important than anything else.

"Do you know what the biggest difference between you and humans is?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"What is it?" Sanwei asked, looking at Chen Yu with curiosity.

"It is that human emotions are extremely complex, not as simple as you imagine." Chen Yu said: "For the same event, different people encountering it will all have different results."

"The hundred states of life, that is what this refers to."

"I don't understand." Listening to Chen Yu's words, Sanwei felt quite confused.

"When you understand, your training should be over." Chen Yu smiled: "The elders in your family let you come out so that you would understand life."

"Only in this way can you truly awaken, and the best way for a person to awaken is to experience life."

"Alright, I know." Sanwei pouted.

"Chen Yu, are the people here the same as the ones we encountered before?" Tianxin looked at the pile of corpses smashed into a bloody mess, and she felt somewhat moved inside.

"They should be the same." Chen Yu nodded and said: "Before coming here, I had encountered such people, but I did not expect that so many ordinary people would come here."

"What is their purpose in coming here? Cannon fodder?" Tianxin sighed.

"Perhaps not even as good as cannon fodder." Chen Yu said slowly: "They are nothing more than sacrifices."

"Sacrifices?" Tianxin looked at Chen Yu in confusion.

"The Ghost Clan wants to break the seal, so they certainly need many sacrifices." Chen Yu said: "The purpose of these people coming here is to be sacrifices; after they die, their souls strengthen the Ghost Clan's power, and they take the opportunity to break the seal."

"Let's go, that place is our destination." Chen Yu said, looking at the place ahead that resembled a volcano.
