Upon hearing that Wang Wu was willing to borrow, the five Ghost Grand Unity seemed on the verge of laughing with delight.
"Wang Wu, without rules, there can be no order. Though we share the same Great Dao, the necessary procedures cannot be skipped. Since you are borrowing today, you must establish proof. Are you willing to swear before the Sole Great Dao that you will never evade this debt and never break your word?"
What the fuck?
The moment Wang Wu heard that, he became displeased. He had never intended to evade the debt in the first place. The Sole Great Dao was his very foundation—how could he ever bear to abandon his own foundation?
It was like an honest man who recognized only his wife, children, and warm kang bed. What could possibly force him to give all that up?
Or to put it another way: of course I would never abandon my wife and children, but if you insist on using my wife and children as bargaining chips to make me guarantee something, then all I can guarantee is your motherfucking grave!
Because the Sole Great Dao was supreme and irreplaceable to him, just as he was to the Sole Great Dao.
Especially since he was now the Observer. Whether in name or in fact, he was the Rotating Spokesperson of this Great Cultivation World.
For these five Ghost Grand Unity to use this to force him into swearing an oath was crossing the line.
And it was utterly unreasonable.
So Wang Wu said directly, "Everyone, I do not think this is appropriate. I am willing to repay the Origin you lend me, and the Sole Great Dao can also evolve a small amount of Origin, so there is no doubt about my ability to repay it.
