Chapter 210 What is the solution to the world? Everyone is like a dragon.
Li Lan has left, the Alienation Conference was successfully held, and there have been no further developments.
The Supreme Immortal Emperor obtained the Stone of Power that he had long dreamed of.
The ten celestial maidens of the ten races have officially married the ten geniuses of the human race. From this day forward, their most important task is "preparing for pregnancy".
The bloodline of the Forbidden Clan is extremely powerful, but it has a flaw. Human blood is good at nourishing all things in the world. Only children born from the combination of the two can become the furnace for those beings in the Origin Realm to be reborn!
The marriage alliance of the ten forbidden races was merely symbolic. In addition to them, the Yaksha, Primordial Demon Ape, and Bixie races also joined forces and formally intermarried with the human race.
After the future mutation, whether one's race inherits the existence from the Origin Realm will directly determine the rise and fall of a race, and even the Forbidden Race dares not be arrogant.
For millennia, the Forbidden Race has regarded the human race as ants, but for the sake of survival, the two races have united for the first time.
The news spread throughout the land, and all five regions were astonished.
"Excellent! From now on, the Immortal Realm will be worry-free!"
"Amazing! The Supreme Immortal Emperor truly lives up to his reputation as the Immortal Emperor of our human race. He has found a path for us, and even the Forbidden Clan has formed a marriage alliance with our human race!"
"The Immortal Realm is without worry!"
The place was buzzing with excitement!
The pro-war faction has completely fallen silent. With the support of all the upper-level forces, the lower-level cultivators have all come to regard the path of alienation as their savior. Many places are celebrating grandly, with unprecedented scenes.
The Supreme Immortal Emperor, the Seeking Origin Heavenly Lord, and others enjoyed unprecedented prestige and were regarded as leaders who would save the world. The Ten Heavenly Maidens of the Ten Clans and the Ten Great Geniuses of the Human Race were regarded as heroes who sacrificed themselves for the entire Immortal Realm!
At the same time, a decree was issued from the Celestial Court, establishing numerous temples and erecting golden statues for the ten celestial maidens and ten geniuses, who were known as the "Ten Saviors of the World."
Furthermore, it is widely believed that as long as one worships the ten savior couples and offers their blood and essence, one can receive protection and peace when the gray fog descends.
This caused a sensation throughout the land. In an instant, temples sprang up everywhere, and every day, long lines of cultivators waited outside the temples to offer their blood and essence.
Northern Xinjiang.
The former Northern Emperor City now boasts hundreds of temples, attracting countless cultivators. Even some old cultivators who usually cultivate in seclusion have rushed out to worship and offer their own essence and blood.
"Success!"
Before the temple, a young man walked out of the temple, but his face was very pale and he looked exhausted.
For cultivators, essence blood is extremely precious. Once lost, it often causes hidden dangers to their cultivation and takes a long time to replenish. However, at this moment, the young man had a happy smile on his face.
He was a genius from a small faction, chosen to dedicate his life essence to secure a future for the sect.
"I'm only four hundred years old! How can I be disqualified? Why won't you accept my life essence...?"
On the other side, an old cultivator with white hair was praying sadly. He was too old to pass the screening, and his essence was useless, so he cried out in grief.
This is the current situation: almost everyone takes pride in worshipping the Ten Great Couples and dedicating their lives to them!
"Can the path of alienation truly find a way out for our immortal realm? I highly doubt it. Cultivators across the land are sacrificing their own life essence; what's the difference between this and collecting a blood tax?"
A very small number of people questioned this, but such remarks were immediately met with various attacks.
"Heh, you're a spy sent by the Gray Mist, aren't you? The Immortal Realm finally found a way out, and you're already getting anxious?"
"Seeing how anxious you all are, I know the Celestial Court has done the right thing again!"
"The Celestial Court is doing this for the greater good, yet they smear the offering of lifeblood. What are their true intentions?"
Under the propaganda and guidance of the Celestial Court and various forces, the people were in an uproar. Anyone who dared to question it would be drowned in spittle!
The outcome is decided!
"Teacher, is this really okay?"
In some void, Li Yue and the others, who were traveling the world with Li Lan, witnessed this scene and couldn't help but have some doubts:
"This disciple always felt that the Celestial Court and the various major powers harbored malicious intentions."
Li Lan said calmly, "The path of alienation has too many obstacles to overcome. Therefore, it requires the blood and faith of all living beings to fuel the flames that allow us to cross them."
“Those extraordinary beings who have not yet emerged from seclusion require a massive amount of essence and blood to conceive. When they are born, those who worship them will burn, and the light they emit will illuminate the path of birth for beings in the Origin Realm.”
Li Lan had long understood the path of alienation.
Why did the Immortal Realm repeatedly vie with Li Lan for the right to speak? Why did they insist on pushing the entire world to agree with their policies?
Because the path of alienation that the Celestial Court and other major powers are about to take cannot be separated from the masses of people in this world.
Only when everyone in the world believes that the path of alienation is correct will they be willing to dedicate their faith and essence to the various celestial courts and forces, so that they can successfully traverse that path.
Otherwise, whether it's the Celestial Court or the major human powers, who would care about the people of the world?
Are temples built merely for bestowing favors? Are golden statues erected to save the world?
Only an idiot would think that.
When the path of alienation truly begins, those Origin Realms will be born, and these devout believers will all turn into flames. The only ones who will truly benefit are the Celestial Court and those powerful forces.
"All living beings... are they merely consumables?!"
Li Yue was shocked, and then a look of heartache flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Teacher, is there... anything we can do?"
"You don't need to do anything."
Li Lan said calmly, "Every choice they make is writing their own history and destiny."
"Touching someone else's interests is like killing their parents; changing someone else's mindset is like digging up their ancestral graves. Fools don't deserve to be saved; the suffering they endure is what they deserve."
Li Lan was never a saint. He had the courage to fight against the Celestial Court, the Gray Mist, and all the major powers, but he also had the indifference to watch from the sidelines and see the people of the world die.
That's enough; I've done what I needed to do.
"But they were deceived."
Li Yue sighed.
"Which is more hateful, a liar or a fool?" Li Lan suddenly smiled.
Li Yue said, "Of course he's a liar."
Li Lan smiled and said, "From a certain perspective, I think it's the fools who are more hateful. If there weren't so many fools, those smart people wouldn't have the disgusting urge to profit from them. It's a group of fools who turned a few smart people into evildoers."
"Fools abound, like leeks growing in abundance; who can resist cutting them down? Idiots are everywhere, like food in a pot; who can resist eating them?"
Li Yue was stunned for a long time, unable to understand Li Lan's views, and couldn't help but ask again, "Then what does Teacher think should be done?"
"Are all the people of the world just destined to suffer?"
Li Lan said, "Only when everyone is like a dragon!"
He looked at the Northern Emperor City under the setting sun and said, word by word, "As long as these people still believe that there is a savior in this world, still feel that they are alive because of the grace given by others, still feel that they owe someone a favor, and still pray to the righteous official or the great savior, then they deserve it."
"If a person doesn't fight for their own rights and doesn't strive for independence, their servility is like a maggot clinging to a bone. As soon as power arrives, they immediately offer everything like a prostitute. What's the point of such a person living?"
"Death is their best destination. Having their lives, property, and flesh taken away by the saviors, heroes, and great men they believe in is the best reward for them."
"They will only be trapped in the sea of suffering they are in now, and will never be qualified to set foot on the other side of freedom!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yue felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind!
She had never heard of anything Li Lan was talking about.
Is this current sea of suffering the very realm of sin that all people have chosen for themselves?
If everyone in the world took their destiny into their own hands.
If they don't blindly follow, and maintain a certain degree of skepticism towards the Celestial Court and other major powers.
If only they could be a little braver...
How could the Celestial Court possibly seize the entire world?
The root of the problem is that everyone is eager to be exploited, entrusting their fate to others!
If cultivators across the land do not change this nature, even without the Celestial Court and the various forbidden clans, there will be others who will exploit and reap the benefits.
"Everyone can be a dragon!"
She murmured to herself, instantly grasping the profound meaning contained in those four words!
Only when everyone is independent and free to think and make choices can there be hope for this world!
"Let's go,"
Li Lan spoke calmly.
Li Yue took one last look at Beidi City. Under the setting sun, Beidi City resembled a blood-red purgatory, and the endless cultivators were like ferocious demons, or bewildered walking corpses, lazy, selfish, and ignorant... becoming sacrifices before the temples.
