Chapter 1016: The Madness Of Overlord Bloodforge (2)
"Could it be... Ming Jian will be unwilling to help? Our Taiyuan Divine Court has aided him considerably. If this matter succeeds and Bloodforge can revive and return, it would greatly benefit our Taiyuan Divine Court as well," Overlord Xue Li said in a low voice, a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Xue Li, I know you're sworn brothers with Bloodforge, and I too hope for Overlord Bloodforge's return," Overlord Xin Ya frowned. "But I've inquired with the True Saint, and he didn't mandate that Ming Jian must exhaust all efforts to save him.
“Moreover, you must understand," Overlord Xin Ya shook his head. "That would come at the cost of all life in an entire macrocosm. Given Ming Jian's temperament, he may be unwilling to do so, and there would be numerous difficulties. Not to mention, how would we deal with Wu Yuan's interference from the Cang Feng Eldritch World?”
"We must act while Wu Yuan is not yet an Overlord," Overlord Xue Li growled in a low voice. "Once Wu Yuan becomes an Overlord, our chances will naturally be slim.
“If we act now, there's still a 30% chance of success. If we don't, Bloodforge is doomed to perish." Overlord Xue Li glared at Overlord Xin Ya and snarled, "They're merely mortal lives. We're not slaughtering those sempiternal lives. What does it matter if we kill them all? In just a few hundred or thousand years, they'll fully repopulate.”
Overlord Xin Ya sighed inwardly, realizing further discussion with Overlord Xue Li was futile. The gap in their perspectives was too vast.
"The True Saint has decreed that the decision for this matter lies solely with Ming Jian," Overlord Xin Ya said solemnly. "No one may interfere, and you mustn't seek out Ming Jian on your own, lest you put me in a difficult position."
Overlord Xue Li faltered.
"Hmph!" Overlord Xue Li transformed into a streak of light and departed in a huff.
“Haiz!” Overlord Xin Ya shook his head slightly, feeling a headache coming on. He understood why Overlord Xue Li was so enraged.
In Overlord Xue Li's view, given Ming Jian's current power, he could easily accomplish this task with minimal cost and a high chance of success. But Overlord Xin Ya knew it wasn't so simple.
