Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1896 Leave it to you

This success bought us a lot of time, not just time, but also reduced our casualties. With our morale soaring, we all felt a different kind of energy. First, we could go back and rest for a while. While those below charged, we couldn't just sit idly by. Resting allowed us to recharge. But whenever I recalled that sentence, I couldn't help but picture their狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or distorted) faces. We did win, but our victory felt dishonorable. That last sentence, "Do you really think you've won?" lingered in my mind. I wondered what that sentence meant. Had we lost? Had we forgotten something important just because of this victory? Bai Jingyi came to find me, and I asked her what was wrong. Bai Jingyi moved a chair over and sat down in front of me, saying, "Actually, I didn't have any good intentions when I first joined you. I just wanted you to suffer a bit, to expose your identities, and make you realize that you could escape your control in this world. But your abilities are indeed too strong. I even thought that the Bai family, which has supported us for so many years, no longer needed to be supported. But that was just wishful thinking on my part. I couldn't save those decaying things. Only new forces can replace them, instead of continuing the decay." I shook my head and said that it wasn't their fault. In fact, what they did wasn't wrong. After all, wanting to continue the prosperity of their family is a good thing. The younger generation has this awareness, and the ancestors have the right to seek happiness for their descendants. Everyone did the right thing. But things turned out very differently afterward. The descendants of the Bai family just think that a decision made by their ancestors has trapped them in the Bai family's thousand-year-old cage forever. And what they are doing now, besides breaking out of the cage, is creating a new cage. This cage prevents everyone from breaking out. We have to take action to prevent this cage from being built. Without new forces, if the Hundred Schools were allowed to continue, this era would be destroyed. However, this theory is almost untenable, given that the Bai family has maintained its power for so many years. Since we've come to this world to gain experience, we must make it what we imagine it to be. Before something is defined, it should have infinite possibilities. But since we arrived, we've changed the trajectory of everything. As a result, everything we see has become so ethereal. When we focus on one point, we already have the answer. Not only in our hearts, but also in our lives, the details of our journey are slowly becoming clear. We exchanged a few more pleasantries, mostly about trivial matters. I also asked Bai Jingyi about the matter I had just been thinking about. She didn't have a good explanation, as she hadn't been able to control the Bai family's affairs and they were currently out of control. There were two reasons for her alliance with us: first, it was the prevailing trend; second, the Bai family had gradually escaped her control, and we were her new target. Zuo Chenwei finished his arrangements. Afterwards, we came in and rearranged our roles. There wasn't much else to do; it mainly involved cleaning up the battlefield and pressing our advantage. Everyone below was clearly instructed, and as long as they did their assigned tasks well, there wouldn't be any problems. I smiled and said, "The matter is almost over, and our mission is almost complete. The rest is up to you. Do your best. This world has a future, there is hope. I see this world slowly growing, and it will reward me with different fruits." This training is nearing its end. I will say goodbye to my last teammate. I don't know if I can reconnect with the others in the future, but I know for sure that the path we've embarked on is one of no return. Everyone's fate is already intertwined. No matter which world we go to for training, we will inevitably have a common battle—a battle for our dignity, a battle for our world. The large and small worlds are never separate; no small world is an isolated entity. Just like in a galaxy, we are different planets. No planet is excluded from the larger family unless it is inherently opposed to us. The same applies to small worlds.
