Chapter 135.2: You Want to Lecture Me About Humanity? About the Bigger Picture? Ill Chop You Down!
The gathered Supremes trembled. Could it be, everything she said is true? Has everything she done been to prevent the world's downfall?
All eyes turned to Bai Ze, waiting for his judgment. His gaze flickered with a myriad of emotions. "Once the demon spawn population passes a certain threshold, the Flowing Wind World will fall. This was what the Heavenly Dao told me when it bestowed the Heartless Lotus."
The gathered Supremes fell silent. Even the Thirteen Northern Demons, who had bad blood with Shang Yanran, seemed conflicted and hesitant.
Finally, a Great Supreme asked, "W-why didn't you announce this to the world?"
Shang Yanran's expression turned cold. "Humans are inherently selfish in nature. Would telling them make any difference? Who doesn't want to die peacefully of old age? Do you truly believe everyone would sacrifice themselves for the greater good? After learning the truth, some might even create more demon spawns. As long as selfishness exists, this world is destined to fall."
Then, her gaze shifted to Qi Yuan. “Master, are your Supremes truly paragons of virtue? Are they all so willing to throw their lives away?”
Bai Ze also looked up, uncertainty flickering in his eyes as he gazed at the countless Supremes overhead. Even Qi Yuan’s Supremes felt shaken by Shang Yanran's words.
Shang Yanran then gazed at Qi Yuan and Ning Tao, a deep sorrow flickering across her face. "Fortunately, the reincarnations of the Great Demon and the Demoness have already appeared. The demon spawns began because of them, so it was only fitting they ended with them."
The meaning was clear: only by killing them could the Flowing Wind World be saved.
As expected, the moment the words left her mouth, the gazes directed at Qi Yuan sharpened.If Qi Yuan truly was the Great Demon, then he was the root of all evil. Only his death could bring peace, and free the Supremes from the fear of dying prematurely.
With just a few words, Shang Yanran stirred the crowd, an unseen charm rippling through her speech. Many were already wavering.
Qi Yuan laughed quietly. "Playing with people's hearts, huh? Preaching about human nature and moral depth? Trying to guilt trip me?"
