Everyone listened to Xiao Chenyu’s words that poured out like a wail, their faces filled with discomfort.
Indeed, this was the truth.
"Finally, some matters have reached an irreparable point, yet at this moment, we say, our forefathers are still alive... Thus, everyone feels as if the distant relationships have suddenly become close again..."
Xiao Chenyu suddenly looked up, his face stained with tears, and roared hoarsely, "But how can the dead come back to life? Li Chunbo was forced to death by my own hands! Forced to death by my own hands! Am I... still human?!!"
At this moment, Xiao Chenyu was like a madman.
He was on the verge of collapse.
The brothers stood there dazed, completely at a loss for how to comfort him.
This was indeed the case; the facts were undeniable.
All along, the emotions between people seemed to rely solely on the relationships established by the elders. As the elders aged and passed away, in the first few years, there would still be exchanges of information, then gradually it became once every few years, once in decades, and eventually, it had become hundreds of years without a meeting. After thousands of years, it was a world fraught with conflicts, and as for ten thousand years later... it had turned into enmity.
No coexisting, no shared destiny.
However, the most peculiar thing was that at such a time, learning that each other's ancestors were still alive seemed to bring back the bonds of friendship that had once been distant. Everyone felt a newfound warmth between them...
But how should they face the irreparable events that had already occurred? How to make amends for the sacrifices that had been made?!
In this moment, any comfort or explanation would be futile, only adding an extra burden to Xiao Chenyu.
When the old ties that had united them faded away with age, and as innocence was gradually lost, the greed for profit grew unchecked, it became far too normal for them to do each other wrong.
Everyone had experienced this; who could advise whom?
"The past pain should be left to reminisce in the future! As for now, the only course of action is to completely annihilate the Law Sovereign and the heavenly demons. Until this disaster is resolved, what qualifications do we have to speak of anything else?" Ling Mu Yang said coldly.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
However, after the initial joy of knowing that their fathers might still be alive faded, everyone felt a heavy burden. It was as if they were children who had done something wrong, gearing up to face the impending questions from adults, each feeling more anxious.
"While Xiao Chenyu has indeed done wrong, do you not have your faults? He is still aware of the pain; what about you?" Ling Mu Yang said coldly, "Night Chen Chen, annihilate the Li Family, decisively kill Chunbo, the entire plan was almost manipulated and pushed forward by you. Do you think you bear no responsibility? Not to mention the matters of Uncle Jun from back then, Night Chen Chen, Zhuge Cangtian, Chen Yingfeng... Do you not feel ashamed? If we truly meet our forefathers one day, I would like to see how you explain yourselves! How you will justify your actions!"
Ling Mu Yang's words were unreserved, every sentence striking at the sore points of the others, brutally sharp.
But Night Chen Chen and the others twitched their faces, yet nobody spoke to refute. They exchanged glances, only to let out a long sigh.
These matters were the facts; how could they refute them?
After a long pause, someone finally spoke up. A cold laugh erupted from Chen Yingfeng, as he said in a sinister tone, "This matter is indeed a great regret for us, but isn't this discomfort shared by others? The Nine Calamity Sword Master and his group, do they not feel anything?"
"What do they have to feel? Clarify your words!" Ling Mu Yang's brows furrowed; he truly couldn't understand what discomfort the Nine Calamity side could feel.
"Hehe... Throughout history, the Nine Calamity must eliminate the descendants of the previous Nine Calamity to complete their accomplishments. If our forefathers had not died and were still battling the otherworldly demons, then surely the previous generations of Nine Calamity would also have likely survived… If they were still alive, wouldn't there be great enmity between them? The later generation of Nine Calamity is the greatest killer of the previous generation's descendants, for over a hundred thousand years, it has always been so!"
