This Country Could No Longer Withstand Turmoil

Outside the courtyard, Ling wore a cherry blossom-colored kimono as she watched Shenming Ying emerge from within.

"Let's go."

Ling did not ask any questions. Before coming here, they had already guessed the outcome.

Whether it was Shenming Ying, Ling, or Luoshui Sanxian, each of them had their own ideals.

They all sought to protect Japan, but that did not mean they walked the same path.

Luoshui Sanxian would not agree with Shenming Ying's decision, because it held no meaning. It was merely a Deity's believer rejecting a False Deity.

Unless the decision truly had a harmful impact on Japan, Luoshui Sanxian would not oppose the decisions made above.

Even if those decisions brought no benefit whatsoever.

Within the courtyard, Luoshui Sanxian simply sat calmly beside the small lake, entirely unconcerned by Shenming Ying and Ling's departure.

He was merely an Esper with a little talent.

He possessed neither extraordinary insight nor any exceptional ability to govern.

Aside from his talent for cultivation, he was good for nothing.

The right people should do the right things.

He understood his own abilities and knew what he ought to do.

Compared to an unpredictable future of unknown fortune or misfortune, the present might be unchanging, but for Japan in this era, was stability not also a good thing?

This country could no longer withstand great upheaval.

The Mutant Creatures outside had already exhausted them. If internal turmoil rose again...

Shenming Ying and Ling were both exceptional. Born into distinguished families, they had come into contact with the power of the upper ranks at an early age. If it were them, they would certainly develop this country better.

Although he had refuted their ideas, Luoshui Sanxian truly believed this.

But it could not be done.

Shenming Ying and Ling were not ordinary children
