Sha Jin'ou and others were shaken, only to find out about Master Zhuan Lun's secret efforts.
Su Donghai suddenly remembered the scene at the end of the battle when one hundred thousand ordinary people charged against the demonic insects.
At that time, I just thought that Master Zhuan Lun had great magical powers, but I had no idea that he had paid so much for it.
Zhang Ke continued: "The aspiration generated by your daily prayers will enter this pool.
The [Infrasound Bell] on the merit pool is the only Taoist method that can kill demonic insects in a large area.
However, this method is very mysterious and consumes a lot of willpower. If you want to activate this method, you must use the "Wish and Thought Method" to unite as one and concentrate the belief and willpower.
The so-called "Wish Thought Method" means that only if you want to do something from the bottom of your heart and have the same thought in your mind can this method be activated.
I entrust you with the dream several days in advance, isn't it because I hope you can gather people's hearts and manifest this method as soon as possible?
But how did you do it? You were suspicious of me and hesitant to do things.
As a result, when the demonic insects invaded, the people suffered heavy casualties, but they turned around and questioned me?
Do you know that it is because you failed to guide your faith and willpower into the pool of merit?
How much will power did I spend on helping you in the end?"
Zhang Ke stretched out three fingers and said:
"Thirty percent!
Thirty percent of the total amount of wish power in the pool is the wish power gathered by millions of people in ten years.
It's wasted just because of your suspicion.
If you hesitate even a little longer, the wish power in the wish power pool may not be able to activate the [Infrasound Bell].
This is why I couldn't take action early, do you understand?"
Sha Jinou's heart was trembling. Thousands of people's lives were lost because of his own fault.
He couldn't accept this fact and shouted loudly: "Then why don't you tell me clearly in your dream?"
Zhang Ke smiled coldly: "Since you don't trust me, will you believe me if I tell you?"
As if Sha Jin'ou was hit hard, his body couldn't help but staggered back two steps.
"Plop——!"
My legs felt weak, as if I had stepped on cotton under my feet, and I couldn't support my body and fell to the ground.
"No--!"
"That's not true-!"
"woo woo woo woo!"
Sa Kim Ou completely collapsed.
He devoted all his efforts to the City of Hope and regarded all people as his children.
Just the thought of thousands of people losing their lives because of his paranoia made him feel like a knife, and he wished he could die immediately.
Su Donghai, Hengjiang and others looked at each other and sighed secretly in their hearts.
No one is to blame for this incident. Sha Jinou has the burden of survival of 600,000 people on his shoulders.
Think twice every time you make a decision.
Zhenyi Zhuanlun is from the outside world, and he will instinctively doubt everything he does.
Zhang Ke looked at Sha Jin'ou hammering the ground with his hands, crying bitterly and feeling extremely remorseful.
Suddenly I remembered an incident from many years ago.
Didn't he look like this when his fellow disciples who were on duty together died while avoiding the "Nine Nether Soul Dispersing Wind" in the past?
A trace of pity arose in my heart, even though I was a little annoyed at his rude words at first.
But thinking that he dared to question himself for the sake of the people, it can be regarded as a responsibility.
Lianshan suddenly interrupted: "That's not right!"
Zhang Ke turned to look at the physically disabled practitioner in front of him.
Zhang Ke liked this person very much.
He is on the top of the mountain, and with the help of his faith and will, he can see everything that happens on the battlefield.
Lianshan has a tenacious temperament, is brave and fearless in battle, hates evil as much as he hates it, and is not afraid of life and death. He is a rare talent.
He is willing to use [Three Light Divine Water] to treat everyone's injuries, mainly for Lianshan.
At this moment, I heard Lian Shan say something and asked: "What's wrong?"
Lianshan Surong said: "According to what the real person said, activating the [Infrasonic Bell] consumes 30% of the wish power, then there will still be 70% of the wish power in the pool.
If the real person is willing, he can take action first even if it costs more, right?"
Zhang Ke glanced at several people and saw that they all looked questioning.
He opened his mouth and said, "Okay! It seems that I need to explain this matter carefully."
After pondering for a moment, he said: "First, let me tell you where the remaining 70% of the will power is consumed.
When the [Infrasonic Bell] rings, the demonic insects within a hundred miles are killed.
I communicate with believers through [Wish Thoughts], so that every ordinary person can summon Ruyi Dao soldiers, and 30% of the wish power is consumed here.
Fight against the demonic insects, run for hundreds of miles, and the remaining 40% of the willpower allows the people to maintain the summoning of Taoist soldiers for an extended period of time."
Having said this, Zhang Ke looked around.
Then he said: "Otherwise, how can ordinary people sustain the losses in a battle with demonic insects.
If you have consumed too much will power before.
Then at the most critical moment, Tao soldiers will disintegrate and dissipate if they have no willpower to maintain them.
Then the 100,000 ordinary people who were the most courageous at that time might not be able to wait until the demonic insects were defeated."
Su Donghai suddenly realized, and a trace of doubt in his heart was finally solved.
He was very surprised that after the fusion of ordinary people and Tao soldiers, the battle with the demonic insects lasted too long.
Because of this, the demonic insects eventually lost their determination to fight and were defeated.
This is something that ordinary practitioners cannot do.
At the same time, Qi Qi's heart trembled.
If the will power was not enough at that time, the people who rushed into the demonic insects...
They didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
Zhang Ke continued: "As for Sha Jinou's statement that I could have taken action in advance but did not, this is not wrong.
Yes, that’s really what I did.”
Sha Jinou stopped grieving and opened his mouth wide with the others, not believing their ears.
Master Zhuan Lun actually admitted that he sat back and watched the people die without caring.
But this time, no one came to question Zhang Ke, just waiting for his explanation.
Zhang Ke pondered and spoke slowly.
"I once felt very strange why humans have not solved the plague of demonic insects for thousands of years since they came into the world."
Seeing that Sha Jinou and others were hesitant to speak.
Zhang Ke continued: "I know what you want to say, even if the demonic insects were born from heaven and earth to deal with humans.
However, human beings have never been a race that allows others to slaughter them without knowing how to resist."
Zhang Ke paused briefly and then continued: "Later, when I discussed the plague of demonic insects with some scholars in this field, I discovered a problem.
The human beings in the Blue Sky Realm are not in the right state, they lack something like spirit, backbone, or courage."
Sha Jinou and others were a little confused and didn't understand what Zhang Ke was going to say.
Zhang Ke continued: "Perhaps for thousands of years, humans in the Blue Sky Realm have become accustomed to escaping and living on their last breath.
Therefore, humans lack the courage and determination to fight against the demonic insects.
Sha Jin'ou asked me why I didn't take action against the demonic insects earlier.
In fact, you have never thought about defeating the demonic insects with human beings, right?"
Hengjiang's heart moved. He seemed to have grasped something from Zhang Ke's words.
"The plague of demonic insects spreading across the world cannot be solved in just a few decades.
You have become accustomed to my protection, but have you ever thought that one day I will leave.
After I leave, how will you deal with the invasion of demonic insects?
Should we continue to hide around like a mouse, or must we muster the courage to fight against the demonic insects?"
Sha Jinou suddenly felt a little panicked and muttered: "Is the real person just... can't I just leave?"
Zhang Ke sighed: "This is the biggest problem for mankind in the Blue Sky Realm.
When you encounter problems, you always want to escape, always want to rely on others to help you overcome difficulties, and never think about using your own strength to solve things.
Do you still remember what I said to you when I asked you in my dream?"
Sha Jinou was in a daze. Zhang Ke said so many words in his dream.
How does he know which sentence Zhang Ke is referring to at this moment?
Su Donghai on the side said slowly: "There is no savior in the world!"
Lian Shan also said: "It is better to ask God than to ask for others, and it is better to ask for God than to ask for yourself!"
Hengjiang continued: "The trickles of water merge into the sea, and the dust gathers to form mountains!"
Sha Jinou was shocked, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his mind.
Slowly chewing the words of several people in his mouth, he gradually understood.
Zhang Ke glanced at Sha Jinou.
Then he said: "If humans in the Blue Sky Realm want to defeat the demonic insects.
What we need most is not some powerful magical method, nor is it the support and help of others.
It is a kind of spirit, a kind of courage and determination that comes from deep in the heart and dares to face all disasters.
Only with a strong heart and no fear can humans in the Blue Sky Realm truly stand up straight.
This refers not only to one person or a group of people, but to all human beings in the entire Blue Sky Realm."
Lianshan and others were completely shocked.
Be mentally tenacious, fearless of life and death, and dare to face your fears.
Even if only one person possesses this quality, he will become a hero.
Human relationships are turning upside down, but Prime Minister Bai still presses his sword even though he knows it!
The human heart is as dangerous as mountains and rivers, and it is most difficult to fathom. The more people there are, the more difficult it is for them to unite as one.
How is it possible for millions of ordinary people to have such qualities?
Zhang Ke said slowly: "If you don't feel the fragility of life and the approach of death, how can you overcome the fear in your heart.
Courage is forged with blood and tears.
At the last moment of this demonic insect invasion, why did the people dare to charge against the demonic insects?
Because they personally felt the threat of the demonic insects at that time, the distance of more than ten feet was the dividing line between life and death.
The torment of sitting back and waiting to be slaughtered prompted them to put aside all worries and launch a desperate charge against the demonic insects with one heart and one mind.
It is also at this critical moment that I will help him with Taoist soldiers to strengthen his courage and determination.
And when they truly defeat the invasion of demonic insects head-on, courage and self-confidence will take root in their hearts.
Only in the future can this spirit be passed down from generation to generation, and only then can humans have hope of defeating the demonic insects."
After saying this, he continued: "Today's battle was a battle in which thousands of people risked their lives.
If in the end the people still dare not break through the shackles in their hearts and do not have the courage to fight to the death, there will really be no hope for the Blue Sky Realm!"
There was silence in the main hall, and no one said a word for a long time.
The emotions in everyone's hearts are extremely complicated.
It took the sacrifices of thousands of people to finally inspire courage and confidence in human hearts.
Is it really worth it?
At this moment, in their hearts, are they more resentful or grateful towards Zhang Ke?
I'm afraid even they themselves can't explain it clearly.
After a long time, Sha Jinou said hoarsely: "Even so, the real person could...he could have helped earlier!"
Zhang Ke shook his head and said: "If we don't drive the people to despair today.
Once I take action in advance, people will place their hopes on me again.
Then those heroes who died may have died in vain and have no value at all."
Sha Jinou was speechless.
Objectively speaking, Zhang Ke's behavior was correct, but he always had concerns in his heart.
Lianshan was the first to agree with Zhang Ke's decision.
"I think what Zhenren did is right. There is no such thing as a war without death.
Since the plague of demonic insects, over the past thousands of years, how many human beings have been killed and injured? Thousands of people are nothing.
If the plague of demonic insects could be eliminated as soon as possible, countless people would survive.
