The Days of Being Forced to Become the Savior of a Cultivation Civilization

Seeing the resentful look in Jieying's eyes, Liu Pingfeng's emotions immediately calmed down:

"Even if Qian Su, the third son of the Qian family, is not our enemy, there are still two of us."

Quantity is meaningless. Even a half-star envoy or a severely crippled star envoy could annihilate us, our entire army, in the blink of an eye.

The eagle pursed its lips, its teeth grinding together.

"So, the Qi Condensation Realm is enough? What do you have that we don't? We're all going to die anyway, why should you be allowed to die?"

His eyes were filled with worry and reluctance:

"Weren't you usually the most cowardly one? Always saying things like 'better to die than die myself,' and 'put yourself first'? Why are you suddenly trying to step up and take the lead now?"

Liu Pingfeng instinctively wanted to refute, but found his words so powerless that he could only smile:

People change.

Over the past five hundred years, I have met many people and experienced many things.

That's how I used to be, weak and helpless. In this cruel world of cultivation, only the ruthless can survive and have the chance to become strong.

He looked up at the boundless ocean, his eyes filled with melancholy, yet also with unwavering determination.

"Later, I succeeded. I broke through to the ninth realm and became one of the top figures on the entire continent."

Finally, nothing and no one can bind me anymore. Just like my name suggests, I drift with the wind, carefree and joyful.

He turned to look at the lone eagle and chuckled:

"Later, the Qian family came, and the world became lively again."

I could have just hidden away, and as long as I didn't provoke those three bastards, nothing would have happened. But then I met you, and I met the Federal rebels.

He sighed and remarked:

"I thought I would never be interested in you little punks again, but I was wrong."

I joined with the intention of having fun, but ended up becoming more and more involved, and still am now.

He shrugged:

"And that's how it turned out. In less than ten years, you, especially you, have had a greater impact on me than the previous five hundred years combined."

Jieying understood Liu Pingfeng's determination, but he was still unwilling to give up:

"But that's no reason for you to throw your life away in vain."

Before we came here, we didn't know they were such terrifying beings. Now that we know, we can retreat and conserve our strength. Why must we sacrifice you?

Liu Pingfeng shook his head:

"You still don't understand, Yingzi."

"The Star Envoy's power is beyond your imagination. Only I, as someone at the Qi Condensation Realm, can truly feel the gap."

He changed the subject, revealing a confident smile:

"However, I didn't die in vain."

I am absolutely confident that I can severely injure them both, and perhaps even kill them in one fell swoop, or banish them from this world.”

The eagle didn't understand what he meant and looked confused and puzzled.

Liu Pingfeng patted his shoulder, her long white hair fluttering in the sea breeze:

"Believe me, you'll understand tomorrow."

"Then I'll have a proper fight and show you what top-tier combat really is, hahaha!"

He suddenly stopped laughing, his expression turned serious, and he took off the Condensation Ring and gently placed it on the eagle's hand:

"This is all my possessions."

Inside are some valuables, records of some techniques I've researched, and a complete set of Wind Path killing moves for the Condensation Realm. I can use it to save my life if necessary.

Jieying stared blankly at the ring, unwilling to face Liu Pingfeng's face any longer.

"Here you go, I've already unbound it. Input your reverse element, and it's yours."

The lone eagle stood there blankly, tears glistening in the corners of its eyes. Liu Pingfeng slapped it hard:

"Alright, Yingzi, you are now the leader of the rebels, and you have incorporated and integrated the rebels from all over the country."

Look at this sea, it embraces all rivers.

You are the sea that gathers all rivers; they are still waiting for you to lead them to final liberation. What kind of people are they to see you like this?

The lone eagle nodded, its voice slightly choked, but its expression remained taut.

"it is good."

Liu Pingfeng smiled:

"Good, that's how a leader should be. A promising young man should be full of vigor and ambition."

He recalled his brief encounter with the eldest brother of the Qian family a few days ago, and those eyes flashing with a red light. He decided to tell Ziying a few things:

"Yingzi, I have one last story to tell you. You must remember it well, you must remember it firmly, because you never know when you might need it in the future."

The lone eagle nodded. Liu Pingfeng exhaled and began to speak in detail:

"The story of the Child of the Clear Stream actually has another ending..."

-

The noise from the crowd gradually subsided, Yingzi's breakthrough was also coming to an end, her breathing became steady, and her tears had dried.

He slowly opened his eyes—a vibrant green light emanated from them.

"Ah, it really is Kimichi! Congratulations!"

Zhiyue clapped his hands and laughed:

[Congratulations on breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm. Having been reborn, what changed the path you chose?]

He asked in silence.

Yingzi shook her head:

[It's not just about woodworking, it's not merely about woodworking.]

His eyes closed and closed, and his gaze changed from emerald green to azure blue—it was the waterway.

Zhiyue's eyes widened:

Wow, dual cultivation paths! You're really something else. To be reborn and still have such an opportunity.

Yingzi smiled:

[This is indeed good news, but even more important information has resurfaced in my mind along with the story of Qingxi River.]

Zhiyue's expression immediately turned serious:

I know. You just mentioned dark red...

【Sorrow. That power is called Sorrow.】

Zhiyue stroked his chin thoughtfully:

【殇…I’ve never heard of that before. It means dying before achieving something. Why is it called that? Who came up with that name?】

Yingzi shook her head:

I don't know either. All that I know, I've already told you, and it's all contained in that story.

This drastically different ending was told to me by a senior colleague when I was young.

At the time, I didn't understand, but I listened to him and imprinted the story firmly in my memory. Later, when the monster appeared, I still couldn't make the connection.

But just now, I realized that these demons have probably been on the continent of Pangde for much longer than ten or eight years.

What's even more frightening is that we hadn't noticed anything amiss before that resource war seven years ago.

Yingzi felt a pang of emotion:

"Liu Pingfeng, just how far have your eyes seen?"

-

At the same time that Dixin Spring broke through the barrier, Honglan was soaking in the outer spring with a large group of mirror collectors.

"Haha, Brother Li Lan, it's a pleasure to meet you today!"

You're different from those city people. They all look down on us, saying they're afraid of getting infected.

Honglan and a bearded man were arm in arm, addressing each other as brothers, looking very familiar with each other.

"Brother, you don't need to lower yourself to their level. They're just a bunch of uncultured people."

"I'm educated, I know that this outer spring is for cleansing impurities and cultivating the mind and body, how could it be contagious, right?"

The bearded man patted Honglan on the shoulder:

"Haha! Cultured people are just different!"
