"You've grown taller and stronger... You've really grown up."
The Grand Consul leaned against Qin Ze, filled with emotion.
Qin Ze's voice trembled. "If I could, I would never want to grow up."
The Grand Consul smiled. "But people have to grow up."
"When Yao Yuan first approached me, he told me very firmly, 'You are the future of Human Race.'"
"I just find it laughable that a mere child could possibly be expected to shoulder the responsibility of the future..."
The Grand Consul grasped Qin Ze's hand. "The future of Human Race rests on your shoulders."
Qin Ze's eyes reddened, and he shook his head, saying, "I can't do without you all."
The Grand Consul smiled and said, "Each generation has its own mission."
"Our mission, along with Yao Yuan's, is to protect Human Race and, when you grow up, hand the world over to your generation in perfect condition."
"Now... my mission is complete."
Qin Ze gritted his teeth. "It's not finished yet!"
"I have created the Myriad Races Alliance, and I still need you to lead it. In the future, the Human Race will face the War of the Gods, and we cannot do without you."
The Grand Consul shook his head. " Qin Ze, I once thought you were the butterfly Yao Yuan described, one that couldn't even fly Sea Capital. Now you're an eagle that even I have to look up to."
He pointed at Qin Ze's heart and said, "Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it."
"Time is almost up; I can barely suppress His power."
"Hurry... hurry up and do it."
Qin Ze's hands trembled more and more violently.
How can he possibly do it?
Swish--
Bu Qingyao drew his three-foot-long sword and plunged it into the Grand Consul's chest.
The next second, an unstoppable sword aura erupted from the sword's edge, shattering the Grand Consul's internal organs and meridians.
"Thank you, Senior Bu Qingyao."
" Qin Ze, I'm truly sorry, but in the end, what's left for you is an imperfect Human Race..."
The Grand Consul's pupils gradually dilated, and the last vestige of life in his body dissipated.
"Sigh~"
The president, who was not far away, couldn't help but sigh upon seeing this.
Qin Ze hugged the Grand Consul tightly, tears streaming down his face.
"I can't save the boss, I can't save the Grand Consul, I can't save anyone..."
Qin Ze's entire body turned gray.
Bu Qingyao sheathed her sword.
"This battle has only just begun. What, are you planning to admit defeat already?"
"Look at this city, and then look at the Grand Consul in your arms."
"This is the place he's guarded for half his life, and now it's broken into this state. Do you intend to let it continue to fall apart?"
Bu Qingyao gazed into Qin Ze's eyes with her beautiful gaze. "I hope you will always remember these four words: passing on the torch."
"This is the first lesson I'll teach you, and it's also the last lesson he'll teach you."
Qin Ze gradually regained his composure, and he exhaled a long breath of stale air from his chest.
His goal is to World Overlord.
"We have located and destroyed the Primarch."
"Next, He will use the most direct and simplest method, which is to awaken the Dominator."
Qin Ze slowly rose, cradling the Grand Consul's corpse. "Senior, please go to the Yin-Yang Temple. I'll be there shortly."
Bu Qingyao nodded.
Seeing Qin Ze regain his spirits, she finally felt relieved.
After this incident, the Mingzhi went into complete hiding, and the guild leader could no longer track it down.
But from now on, all we need to do is wait and see.
Since the Primitive cannot be mass-produced in a short period of time, Mingzhi cannot wait for its skill to cool down, awakening the Dominator is the best option.
Bu Qingyao went to the Yin-Yang Temple with the president.
The president was filled with indignation.
Once upon a time, he was also the awakener of the Dominator, but now he has become a guardian.
The Fairy and the Passerby A stayed behind and, together with Qin Ze, settled the Grand Consul.
With the Primarch's demise, the turmoil in Sea Capital gradually subsided.
People who have been infected recently and whose infection is mild still have a chance of recovery.
For infections that have been present for a long time, the infection is irreversible and the only option is to kill the infected person on the spot.
The streets of Sea Capital were littered with corpses.
Cries, pleas for help, screams of pain, and calls for help... filled the air.
Back then, the Tide of Jiang City were nothing special.
Qin Ze saw the Slacking on the Sidelines and noticed that the Mingzhi Corruption on his body was gradually dissipating.
"The key saved his life."
The key suppressed the Corruption, but prevented it from taking deep root in the body.
Their current state of Slacking on the Sidelines is similar to that of someone who has recently been infected.
Without the original body's "response," the Corruption in the body will recede on its own; it's just a matter of time.
" Brother Shui can still be saved? That's wonderful!"
Passerby A lit up with joy.
The Dew Duo almost disbanded on the spot.
Qin Ze sat on the Slacking on the Sidelines bed, lost in thought.
Like Meng Die, who is also Higher Strange God, Mingzhi is also very powerful.
Qin Ze couldn't help but wonder, was the Mingzhi doing this merely to incidentally harvest Power of Faith?
All that effort and power was spent, yet only a tiny fraction of the Power of Faith was gained in return.
Qin Ze felt this deal was not worth it at all.
The three little ones stood obediently at the door, communicating with each other telepathically.
"Oh no! Her Pretty God has faded."
"How can we get by without fighting spirit, Mengmeng? Stand up!"
"The three of us are the only survivors in Sea Capital. Do you think we'll be added to the Soul Orb candidate list?"
"Probably... maybe... more or less... right?"
Miss Sword Case quietly stayed by her side, clearly sensing her good friend's low spirits.
She had never felt anything about death before, but now she is terrified of her best friend dying.
After a while, Qin Ze stood up and said, "Let's go to Slacking on the Sidelines Yin-Yang Temple. We'll stay here for now."
"The matter of the Grand Consul... should not be revealed to outsiders for now, lest it cause unrest. We'll discuss it after we've dealt with the Mingzhi."
The Passerby A and the Fairy nodded.
Qin Ze looked at the Fairy in surprise. "Why did you fall from your cultivation level?"
When Breakthrough Otherworld, Qin Ze clearly remembered that she had already broken through to Level Nine.
Now, more than a year has passed, Fairy's cultivation has not only not progressed, but has actually regressed significantly, now only at the Peak of Level Eight.
The Passerby A also found it strange, but didn't dare to ask.
The Fairy casually tossed her hair. "This is my special cultivation method."
A series of question marks appeared above Qin Ze's head.
What a bizarre cultivation method! The more I practice, the more I regress.
Qin Ze asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
The Fairy quickly replied, "No, you're lying! I didn't!"
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
He was now 1000% certain that this woman was hiding something from him.
Qin Ze said, "Don't try to tough it out. Tell me if you can't hold on any longer."
The Fairy waved her hand impatiently. "We'll talk about it later."
Qin Ze said, "Alright, so you were hiding something from me after all."
Fairy:"..."
The Passerby A couldn't help but chuckle.
It's rare to see Fairy get the short end of the stick.
If Brother Shui were here, he would definitely kick someone when they're down.
The three were preparing to head to the Yin-Yang Temple for their final battle.
At that moment, Qin Ze heard the Dharma King's anxious voice.
"Something has happened in Penglai City."
(Please give me some electricity!)
