Today's second update: Chapter 1907! 2/3!
"Xu Kun!!!"
Lu Ya was furious. "Are you treating your own future and humanity's future like a joke?"
"The future of humanity isn't yours to dictate. Worry about your own affairs first!" Xu Kun said disdainfully.
"Fine, fine, fine. You can't even satisfy this small request from my mother goddess. Xu Kun, you are destined to become a sinner of humanity!"
A vicious smile appeared on Lu Ya's face. "So your answer is that you won't help my mother goddess find Yi's reincarnation?"
Xu Kun smiled. "I can't help."
After a brief struggle, Xu Kun firmed his resolve.
Do not do unto others what you would not have done unto yourself. He could not sacrifice an innocent life just to quell the rage of an ancient god who had already passed away.
Even if the price was humanity's future!
Just as if someone forced him to choose between himself and humanity's future, he might not be able to sacrifice himself either!
If he could not do it himself, what right did he have to demand it of someone else?
But just as Xu Kun had said, the root of the matter was not whether he would help, but Xihe's refusal to let go of her obsession.
He was gambling that even if he refused, Xihe would not slaughter living beings merely to vent her anger.
And even in the worst-case scenario, Xu Kun believed in humanity's successive Lords of the Era.
Humanity had endured countless hardships and still clawed its way to where it was today.
Let alone a god who had already died—even if a true god stood before humanity now, why should humanity allow its backbone to be broken?
Better shattered jade than intact tile!
"Fine, fine, fine. Remember your choice.
