Chapter 3983 - You are a Parasite
“What kind of trick are you playing here?” Tianming calmly asked. It was clear that Sixth's vita was far more mature than both the caeli and terra, and would definitely be much harder to deal with. It would be a herculean task to shatter its beliefs.
“It’s no trick. You’re too strong, I only want to survive.” The countless mouths said in unison. The fact that it praised Tianming’s strength was rare. The caeli and terra had both thought that he was trash before they’d fused with him.
“Survive?” Tianming shook his head. “You exaggerate. No one wants you dead. Your two brothers, after accompanying me to the Upper Star Ruin, have changed their views. They now believe more in the future, where we share a common path. Right now, you're the only one left behind. If you returned, we'd have a better chance of standing atop the universe together. I respect you all and you respect me. Wouldn’t that be the best?”
“It would. But that’s your dream, not ours. The moment the symbiotic cultivation system was born, the Primordial Chaos Beasts had already died.” The many mouths said with eerie calm.
“Died? What makes you say that? They’re living quite well. You don’t have the right to impose your belief on them,” Tianming seriously replied.
“I’m not imposing anything—you just don’t understand.” The countless faces’ expressions suddenly fell. “Lately, I’ve been hearing the call of my bloodline.... The cycle of the old world has reached its end. The universe is riddled with disease, while parasites dine on its vitality. We, the inheritors of the eternal mission, walk the path of the never-ending cycles, devouring the pathogens so the universe may be reborn. But you...!”
The faces coldly glared at Tianming, their expressions boiling with rage and hatred.
“You stole the antibodies and altered the mission, thus becoming the most terrifying parasite in the universe! Though you’re small, you’re still a cancer. When the Primordial Chaos Beasts changed from the blade of purification to the poison of the universe, even if they obtained a stronger future, they had already died.”
Tianming was confused, thrown off by so many strange terms. But he could still grasp the gist of things. The Primordial Chaos Beasts were originally created to purify, while all the myriad astral races were parasites, draining nova source and even stealing the rules of the Sea of Order.... Then Li Muyang stole their eggs, forcibly turning them into lifebound beasts and robbing them of their mission.
“Born for duty, die for duty. You’re a parasite, how could you ever resonate with us?” Countless sorrowful eyes stared at Tianming. “Each being on you was once my sibling, two of them were even my triplets. But they died by your hand, and I was powerless to stop it. I’ll never agree if you try to take me, too. I’d rather die beneath the heavens than forsake my mission. I’d rather die at your hands than live as a puppet!”
