Order Determines Good and Evil!
It has to be said, Tantai Jing's reaction was really quick...
At this moment, Tantai Jing declared that, no matter what, the Demonic Sect was willing to help bury a group of fallen Star Ghosts...
Not only Tantai Jing, but all parties involved jumped out at this moment!
Various parties have expressed their willingness, not only to Tantai Jing, but also to help bury a group of Star Ghosts...
The scene is now in complete chaos...
What was supposed to be a proper spoils-sharing ceremony has turned into a frantic rush to help bury the Star Ghosts...
Chu Xinghe was no longer willing to speak...
Are you guys trying to bury the Star Ghosts?
You guys obviously just want to buy some Star Horn, okay?
The problem is that things have progressed to this point, and even if Chu Xinghe were to appear, he wouldn't be able to change the current situation!
The Star Horn has been transformed from a primordial treasure into the corpse of Star Ghosts...
In this situation, no one would dare to suggest directly dividing the Star Horn, because it involves a matter of morality!
But there's no problem with helping bury the Star Ghosts...
After all, we helped bury the Star Ghosts. In this situation, the Origin Ancestor, to thank us, took the initiative to refine the Star Ghosts's unicorn horn into a treasure as a token of gratitude... Doesn't that solve everything?
The narrative perspective can sometimes completely determine whether you are a righteous hero or a psychopath!
Look... a certain cultivator went to a secret realm with his teammates... In the end, all his teammates died in battle, and the cultivator, without a word, refined all the corpses of his fallen teammates into corpse treasures...
Good heavens, once this news gets out, do you believe this cultivator will instantly be branded as an evil cultivator?!
There's no way... this is just too insane...
But let's put it another way...
If a cultivator goes to a secret place with his teammates and encounters many dangers, during which his teammates die one after another, but the cultivator never abandons them... he always carries his dead teammates forward... and finally he successfully brings his teammates' bodies out of the secret place!
This gave them the chance to see the light of day again, instead of dying far from home!
The cultivator then carried his teammates' bodies back to their hometown and buried them with his own hands. His actions moved the heavens... Suddenly, the teammates' bodies emitted golden light, and their remnant souls appeared, thanking the cultivator. In gratitude for the cultivator's return, they offered to become divine weapons after death and continue fighting alongside the cultivator!
Although we are dead, we are still the best teammates. After that, the cultivator took the divine weapon that his teammates had transformed into and went up to the peak. When he reached the peak, he said to everyone, "Thank you to my teammates for supporting me all the way. Thank you to my teammates for walking with me!"
See... this has transformed from a freakish story into an inspirational one!
It's the same process of refining teammates... but the order in which they're eliminated cannot be changed!
If you refine your teammates first... that's insane...
But if you bury your teammates first... and then refine them later, that means never abandoning them and being willing to join hands with them to reach the peak!
This is the same principle as rebellion!
If you were to directly shout that you want to kill the emperor and take his place... you would be a traitor, and the whole world would rise up to condemn you!
Even if you eventually manage to defeat the entire world, at best you'll be considered a successful rebel!
But if you start by shouting about purging the court of corrupt officials... then it's a completely different story...
So at this moment, Tantai Jing's statement that he wanted to bury Star Ghosts raised the situation to a level that made Chu Xinghe utterly despair!
Look at Tantai Jing. When Star Ghosts died, Tantai Jing learned that Star Ghosts had a curse after death and did not want Star Ghosts's body to be scattered, fearing that the curse would harm people. So he was willing to spend money and effort to help bury Star Ghosts!
To counteract the curse on Star Ghosts, Tantai Jing went to great lengths. And guess what happened after he finally purified Star Ghosts?
As if grateful to Tantai Jing for freeing him, Star Ghosts willingly transformed into Star Horns to serve Tantai Jing...
See... now he's become a symbol of good deeds being rewarded!
Even a group of righteous bigwigs would have to admit, at this point, it's still the Demonic Sect...
Once the Demonic Sect sects will truly have nothing left for us righteous sects!
Seeing the bewildered expressions of the many righteous leaders, Tantai Jing smiled slightly!
Because what they said is true... Do you think we, the Demonic Sect, don't understand these things?
We're just too lazy to bother with all this stuff!
But today... since we're going to perform the righteous path, then my Demonic Sect is definitely more righteous than yours!
The world is bustling with activity, all for the sake of profit; the world is in turmoil, all for the sake of gain...
What is the purpose of everything Tantai Jing is doing today?
It's definitely about profit!
The function of the Star Horn is self-evident... anyone who isn't a fool understands its purpose!
But after Origin Ancestor's tearful performance today, no one can take away Star Horn!
What the hell? Why don't the other big shots refute the Origin Ancestor...?
It's not that it can't be refuted... but with these old monsters here, if they really wanted to refute it, Origin Ancestor's sob story might not be successful.
But don't forget... when Origin Ancestor was putting on his tearful act, he had intentionally or unintentionally reminded everyone... that the method of refining the Star Ghosts into Star Horns was something only Origin Ancestor could do in the entire world!
Nobody else can do it!
This is actually the key to everything!
There isn't a single fool here today; they're all smart people!
You want profits, but the Vast Heaven Holy Land doesn't want profits?
Today, Origin Ancestor is putting on a melodramatic show... but the purpose isn't to claim Star Horn for himself...
The Star Horn originated from the Star Sea Abyss; you are supporting the Buddha Domain, so what does that have to do with the Star Sea Abyss?
So if everyone really comes out to refute Origin Ancestor in this situation, and leaves Origin Ancestor speechless, then Origin Ancestor will just overturn the situation!
The Origin Ancestor distributed it all to you directly, and you all took it...
You can take Star Ghosts's corpse as you please. If I, the Origin Ancestor, don't intervene, are you just taking Star Horn?
All you've taken away are a pile of Star Ghosts corpses that will bring you all sorts of curses and trouble!
So from the moment the Origin Ancestor stepped forward, this was a match that was absolutely impossible to lose!
The Origin Ancestor creator is the mastermind. If everyone acts according to my instructions... in the end, you'll get paid, and you'll get Star Horns!
If everyone doesn't act according to my instructions, then in the end I'll just flip the whole thing over, and nobody will get anything... They'll all be finished!
The final outcome was a happy one... Tantai Jing's offer to help with the burial made everything go in a positive direction!
In this way, Origin Ancestor could help Vast Heaven Holy Land make a killing; Origin Ancestor went on a killing spree!
Although each party contributed resources, they ultimately obtained the Star Horn!
After all, resources can be earned again, but apart from the Origin Ancestor, no one else can create Star Horn!
It was a fairly happy meeting overall...
Of course... if we exclude Chu Xinghe...
Chu Xinghe was completely speechless at this moment...
Now Chu Xinghe finally understands what a veteran actor is...
Now I finally understand what it means to be an experienced person!
This Origin Ancestor is so damn spicy!
Look back at how you used to be; when you encountered problems, you could at least try to take control and struggle a bit!
But when the Origin Ancestor made his move, that knife was incredibly accurate and ruthless!
There was absolutely no room for resistance!
Throughout the entire ordeal, Chu Xinghe felt like, "Besides watching Origin Ancestor suddenly stab me in the face, I didn't even have a chance to dodge!"
When Ma Liang suddenly attacked me before, it was too sudden, but no matter how sudden it was, I could at least dodge it once or twice!
Now that the Origin Ancestor has made his move, whether he's sudden or not is anyone's guess. He'll first immobilize you, and only after confirming that you have absolutely no way to dodge will he launch a thrust!
Chu Xinghe really carried the team this time!
But it's no use... I was completely locked down there this game. I spammed my Flash button, but I just couldn't get out!
In the following time, Ma Liang personally stepped forward and had a heated discussion with the bigwigs present about the issue of funeral expenses!
Chu Xinghe thought those words were utterly inhuman!
"Zheng Yu... you just said you wanted to bury two hundred? Are you kidding me? Where are you going to find that many Star Ghosts to bury... at most one hundred and fifty, no more than that!"
"Brother Ma Liang... could you please help me... persuade Star Ghosts's side to let fifty more die? We in Martial Emperor City are truly sincere in our burials; we can add another 10% to the burial fee..."
"Zheng Yu... you've put me, Ma Liang, in a very difficult position... Look... I'll ask Origin Ancestor for you, see if he can persuade Star Ghosts to die fifty more times... I asked... Origin Ancestor said... it can be arranged soon..."
"Ma Liang... Zheng Yu's side can bury fifty more... Could we also bury fifty more here?"
"What are you thinking? There aren't that many Star Ghosts to die! So many Star Ghosts die every day... Zheng Yu's case is on expedited... What... are you guys on expedited too?"
"Urgent! Urgent! We'll expedite it too..."
Chu Xinghe: "..."
Is this even a conversation a human being could have?
But that's not the most outrageous part... The most outrageous part is that Origin Ancestor maintained a bitter expression throughout the whole process while occasionally listening to Ma Liang's reports!
"Origin Ancestor... Could Zheng Yu add another 10% to the funeral expenses... Could we let fifty more Star Ghosts die?"
"Tell him that adding 15% will allow sixty more people to die!"
"Okay..."
Chu Xinghe: "???"
Chu Xinghe knew that Origin Ancestor was a ruthless person, but he never expected that Origin Ancestor was such a wolf!
When this Origin Ancestor gets ruthless, he doesn't care about the lives of any of his own kind at all...
Chu Xinghe stated that such Origin Ancestor has an extremely high probability of becoming the Heavenly Dao in the Future!
Because the way of Heavenly Dao is inherently ruthless...
That Origin Ancestor was absolutely ruthless!
No one knows exactly how much Ma Liang received in funeral expenses...
However, all the corpses that had been sent from the Buddha Domain to the Four Continents were properly buried.
Just as Chu Xinghe was speechless over the funeral expenses, the Little Buddha descended from the Buddha Domain to the Four Continents!
Upon hearing the news of the arrival of the Little Buddha, Chu Xinghe laughed so hard he peed himself!
Here comes... the Little Buddha has come to demand an explanation!
With the arrival of Little Buddha, our Vast Heaven Holy Land is bound to suffer a huge loss no matter what...
So Chu Xinghe didn't come away completely empty-handed this time!
