Chapter 1868: Sacrificial Offering (1/2)
Li Qiye glanced at the scattered corpses and shook his head: “It’s not a living being, just an ancient cereain When an old ceremony like this appeared, it required a sacrifice”
“A sacrifice?” The princess had an oood word at all: “A life offering?”
“Nothing to be surprised about” Li Qiye smiled: “Not to mention the untraceable epochs, even in our own, soyears For certain powerful people, others were mere ants A million or ten ”
Li Qiye’s nonchalant words made her feel even ends when she was younger but it had a different significance when it came from Li Qiye It meant that certain old tales actually happened
“A sacrifice on such an immense scale?” She murmured
“These evil events never stopped It happened in the past and will again in the future Perhaps you live in a generation for one too” Li Qiye leisurely said
“No one can stop it?” Her heart sank and had to ask
Everyone knew that after reaching a particular level, a fight between cultivators was devastating However, these fights normally took place in the sky
Plus, a sacrificial offering was different fros was such a cruel deed
“For a few things, once it reaches a certain threshold, they are inevitable When one finds it hard to stay alive themselves, there’s no ti about ants For example, if you were to burn a forest, do you actually care about killing one or ten million ants?” Li Qiye said emotionlessly
This made the princess think in silence and had asacrificed are humans, just like us I would definitely take it seriously” She eventually said after a long lull
“Because you are not standing at the apex If you are an ant, you will care for the welfare of ants, not wanting to burn theht now, you won’t care about these ants”
“Right” The princess had to adh these words were cruel, one still had to accept it If she were to burn a forest, she wouldn’t care about these tiny creatures She would care about humans because she was also one
At the very top, these supreme existences only saw other cultivators as ants They wouldn’t give a da millions is only child’s play At the end of an epoch, lives are not worth a single coin Mortals, cultivators, and even enificant At that tiht at her and continued: “For their own survival, so with all the existences inside Both the nine worlds and the thirteen continents are only nutrients for theer; it is only another method for them to employ”
“That… can’t be…” The princess shuddered : “How could someone even accomplish such a task? That’s i is impossible Look at the cruelties of Exploration Grounds They are the broken pieces of epochs What I described earlier had happened in these past epochs, and not just once Existences have sacrificed the entire world before”
She was overwhel an entire world and all living beings?
“That is too cruel” This was all she could muster
As a cultivator, especially an imperial successor, she naturally understood the merciless nature of the dao Death was an ordinary occurrence
