Ouyang remained silent for a long time before finally looking at Dongxu Zi and asking, "Why choose to tell me now? Are you certain I'm the same kind of person as you?"
A trace of a smile finally appeared on Dongxu Zi's usually unruffled face. Somewhat heartened, he said, "I'm not certain you're the same kind of person as us. But you're not someone willing to survive alone at everyone else's expense!"
As long as he was unwilling to survive alone, he would have to stand on their side.
After all, only those with attachments in their hearts would be willing to save this world.
It was an open scheme laid out in broad daylight, and Ouyang had no way to refuse.
After all, Ouyang wouldn't want to watch his junior brothers and sisters die before his eyes, would he?
It might be cruel, but did he think being fellow disciples with people burdened by great karma would be so easy?
After considering it for a moment, Ouyang could only helplessly acknowledge this fact.
He utterly loathed choosing to sacrifice himself, or even those he cherished, for the so-called salvation of the world.
But given the circumstances Dongxu Zi had described, he had no choice but to stand on the same front as them.
"What do you need me to do?" Ouyang asked.
Dongxu Zi shook his head. "We don't need any of you to do anything. We'll pave every road for you. All you need to do is keep walking forward!"
"Of course, don't do anything else that defies heaven, or you could trigger changes even we cannot account for!" Recalling what Ouyang had just done to defy heaven for that ape, Dongxu Zi immediately added this warning.
Ouyang nodded like a chick pecking at grain, looking utterly obedient.
