Worth It?

(PS: Huan Yan's wife has given birth and is in the hospital, so I'm very busy. The number of updates will temporarily be reduced. I'll resume after these busy days are over. I hope my brothers and sisters can understand.)

Having come here and witnessed this place, how could they possibly leave?

Faced with Old Man's low muttering, the three of Qi Zi gradually fell silent.

"There was a time when we too were filled with fiery passion. We too had been indignant, and had once dreamed of turning everything around."

"But someone has to guard the Boundary Pass."

"Our seniors have all grown old. Few of them are still alive now."

"If we all went back, it would only lead to endless internal strife. What would become of the countless living beings in the Myriad Realms?"

Old Woman's voice was distant and sorrowful, almost as if she were weeping. "Our seniors forged the Boundary Pass with their blood and bones and guarded it for billions of years."

"We juniors do not possess such great abilities, but someone must ultimately step forward and shoulder all of this, bringing peace to the Myriad Realms."

"We came here, witnessed it all, and never planned to return."

"Whether we are sinners or not is no longer important."

"The Boundary Pass must not fall."

The others did not speak, but everyone, including Scholar and Silent Child, nodded and sighed soundlessly.

At this moment.

Qi Zi remained silent, while Ji Chutong and Lan Cai'er regarded them with solemn respect.

Clearly, these seniors were not truly rigid and rotten, nor were they without thoughts of their own. They had simply chosen to stay.

They had chosen to guard this Boundary Pass, chosen to protect a lifetime of peace for the Myriad Realms.

"Is it worth it?"
