Chapter 1574: You Are Wrong
“So this is your objective. You wish to become the Human Sovereign of the current generation? The scale of your ambition is truly astounding!”
A long time later, the Chief Libationist finally spoke up, “For your so-called ambition, you will sacrifice hundreds of thousands of innocent Nanjiang lives? For your so-called accomplishment, you will subject millions of innocent people to unwarranted disasters?”
“A general is accomplished because he stood above a mountain of bones. A person who aims to achieve great things should not be bogged down by petty concerns. Tell me, what hero became a hero without leaving behind a river of blood? What conqueror rose to the heavens without stepping on a mountain of corpses?”
Emperor Jing Run declared vehemently and passionately, “If one hundred thousand lives is what it takes to exchange a thousand autumns of absolute hegemony, then why not? If millions of deaths is what it takes to establish the eternal age of Chu, then why not?!”
“Besides, I am not sacrificing the people of Chu. I am sacrificing the traitors and sinners of Nanjiang, and the barbarians and rebels of our opposing nations. If anything, it is their honor to become the stepping stone of the eternal Chu.”
“What do you say?”
“......”
“I see you all agree with me.”
Emperor Jing Run laughed when no one responded to his question before turning back to the Chief Libationist. “You too are a member of Chu, mister. Surely you think so as well?”
“This student understands that your compassion reaches all of the living, and your heart is big enough to fit the world, teacher. Soon, the age of chaos will arrive, and the entire world will plunge into chaos. It’s not just Chu, Yan, Qi and Wei who will suffer. When the old law and order are gone, many nations will no longer be nations, and everyone will be facing difficult times.”
“But if I can become the one master of the world, if I can wield the power of the Human Sovereign, then I can surely preserve the well-being of all people and bring peace to the world. Therefore, everything I did is for the sake of the people and all of the world.”
“You are a man of great wisdom, teacher. Surely you understand my efforts and wishes, right?”
