After listening to Liming’s remarks, Xia frowned slightly.
"I cannot agree with your remarks. It sounds to me like you are trying to cover up Chi You's crimes. Can he save mankind by bowing to the devil?"
"At least you can have some breathing space." Liming looked at Xia and said: "You have to know that at the time of the Battle of Zhuolu, the Human Emperor did not appear. No one knew that such a powerful existence would appear later.
So humans were actually very desperate at that time.”
"In the desperate situation at that time, my father believed that mankind would be defeated, so in order to prevent the ethnic group from being exterminated, he made a peace with the demons in exchange for peace."
"At that time, your parents' idea was to gather the power of all mankind to resist the demons. Essentially, both sides were using their own methods to continue the ethnic group. No one was right or wrong."
After Xia was silent for a moment, he slowly said: "I admit that what you said makes some sense, but this is not a reason to excuse your father. His idea is to send a large number of innocent humans as tribute to the monsters every year, so as to
In exchange for a short-term peace, when he made this decision, did he ever think about the thoughts of the 'tributes' who were given to the demons as rations?"
"This is an unavoidable choice. In order for the human race to reproduce smoothly, my father must do this!"
"Of course there is no problem in doing this from your father's perspective. Anyway, it was not him who died in the end, but the tributes who were sent out. Would you still think so if you were the tribute?"
"My father said back then that part of the tribute would be divided from his Jiuli clan, and even me, his biological son, would be included in it."
Hearing this, Xia Wei was slightly surprised and said: "You are also a tribute? If this is the case, then why do you still defend Chi You so much?"
"Because he is right, and when necessary, he can really use his own life in exchange for collective interests. This is the biggest difference between him and those hypocritical people." Liming said without hesitation: "So
, I will always follow my father, and as long as I can achieve my goal, I will be willing to do so even if I die."
"Paranoid thoughts." Xia shook his head and said: "We have different ideas and we will never agree. It's better not to talk anymore."
The two were quiet for a moment, neither talking, but looking at each other.
After a while, Li Ming smiled and said: "Xia, actually I don't want to clear my father's name by saying so much. I don't care about this kind of thing, and he doesn't care either."
"What I want to express is that you are too rigid and don't know how to adapt. In your world, it seems that everything in the world is either black or white, and everything is right or wrong."
"Isn't this wrong?" Xia asked.
"It's not that it's wrong, but it will limit your thinking. Look what you have done these years?" Li Ming said slowly: "It has been five thousand years. You have been guarding this place for five thousand years.
Just to practice the justice in my heart and protect the common people in the world."
"I admire you, and I respect you, because you are really the kind of person who can sacrifice everything for the sake of the world. In peaceful times, you were a saint, but unfortunately, these are chaotic times, and your method
I can only move myself, but with little effect."
"My father once said that Xia's qualifications are unparalleled and outstanding among the contemporary generation. He believed that as long as you practice seriously, you will become a great person in the future. As long as you are given some time, it will be a matter of time before you surpass your parents."
"But look at yourself now, what have you done?"
Li Ming looked at Xia with sympathetic eyes, shook his head and said, "For five thousand years, you have stayed in this barren land and wasted countless years."
"Five thousand years ago, you were in your current state. Five thousand years later, you still haven't been able to cross this threshold. I feel sorry for you in my heart. This is simply an indignity."
"If you can take this step and go to a place with rich source energy resources, I believe you have already entered the Venerable Realm. In five thousand years, you may be able to enter the Holy Realm. After all, you have
By chance, I met the Human Emperor when I was only in my early twenties."
Having said this, Liming sighed and said: "But the reality is that you have been stuck in this place where the source of energy has been exhausted, and you have not been able to move forward for five thousand years."
"I..." Xia was said to have touched the softest and most vulnerable place in his heart. At that moment, he said with a somewhat unnatural look on his face: "Isn't it that I am doing this to guard the seal and protect the people of the world?"
"It's very respectable, but useless, because being weak is the original sin." Liming said slowly: "I have actually been back for a few days, but I have been observing in the dark. If I use one word to describe my views, then
That's it - it's in danger."
"Obviously, after experiencing peace for thousands of years, this planet has once again fallen into crisis. Outside the galaxy where this planet is located, a large number of resentful spirits are gradually approaching, and within the planet, there is also that person named Black Saint.
The ghost master is watching with eager eyes."
"I would like to ask you, when the crisis really comes, how can you resolve this disaster with only three stars at your peak?"
Liming's words were heart-wrenching. In the past few years, Xia had been worrying about this matter every day, especially after the Black Saint broke the seal last time. When he found out that there was nothing he could do about the Black Saint, he became even more worried.
It was hit to a certain extent.
Therefore, when Li Ming revealed this pain point of Xia's, Xia's face suddenly turned ugly. Isn't this a piece of Xia's heartache?
If he hadn't stayed in this place, he might have been four-starred thousands of years ago. Why would he let someone of the Black Saint's caliber be cornered?
Xia also tried to defend: "Then what do you want me to do? Now I can't get away at all. If I leave Blue Star, those rats hiding in the shadows will definitely take this opportunity to cause trouble."
"That's not something I can worry about. You have many ways to solve the problem. For example... contact your father and ask him to provide you with some assistance. I believe he is very willing to provide you with help. After all... you
He is his son with the most potential."
After listening to Liming's suggestion, Xia's eyes kept flickering.
Xia is also a human being, and as a human being, he longs for freedom. He doesn't want to stay in a deserted place like this every day. It's too lonely and boring.
And as Xia is a man, especially a capable man, why doesn't he want to become stronger and make his life more valuable?
What Li Ming said today slightly awakened Xia, because he also knew that if he continued like this, not only would he not be able to protect Blue Star, but he might also fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Not everything Li Ming said is wrong. It won't help if I stick to it any longer. Maybe I really should make some changes..." Xia Xin thought.
