Chapter 1597: Heaven and Earth Sun God Ring
The current solar system has dimmed by several levels.
The light spreading from the star was supposed to illuminate the entire solar system, but at this moment, the sunlight, after various folds and reflections, flew towards the mother star of the Xianmen Sect, spreading to a green-clothed youth. The endless brilliance of the solar system converged on him, making him shine even brighter than the Sun near Blue Star.
"Are you talking about the universal constants?"
"Yes, the universality of constants in this region is indeed difficult to change..."
The Ancient God Ancestor Master murmured to himself.
Behind him, among his thousand arms, hundreds were broken, withered, and turned to ash. But as trillions of Xianmen citizens fell into a fire and demonic state, black Demon Fire ignited on tens of billions of citizens, turning them to ash amidst wailing, and infinite Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi was drawn, falling into the wounds.
As the flesh wriggled and grew, brand new arms restored to their original state once more.
All around, the violent, crazed killing intent flashed by.
A part of the cosmos fell into extreme freezing cold, then returned to normal in an instant, as if an illusion.
The green-clothed youth's expression was calm, and behind him, a Sun God Ring was slowly taking shape.
This Sun God Ring, made up of the six paths of Hell Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, Beast Dao, Tianrendao, Asura Path, and Human Dao, resembled the Heavenly Earth Divine Rings carried by deities in ancient mythology.
It was frantically devouring the light of the entire solar system, converging into the ring, forming a blazing platinum hue, hazy and indistinct.
A terrifying aura, enough to frighten even a Quasi Heavenly Stage expert, was being born.
"Are you angry?"
"Is your Dao Heart disturbed by the death of these ants?"
"Fellow Daoist, you are too young and lack experience."
The Ancient God Ancestor Master smiled faintly, "How about making a deal with me? If you sever an arm, I will release these trillions of citizens."
"I am willing to swear on my Divine Soul Origin for this deal."
"Aren't you professing equality for citizens?"
"Is such a mere severed arm not enough to exchange for the lives of trillions of citizens? Won't you even agree to this?"
The Ancient God Ancestor Master teased.
"Or is this merely your enslavement strategy? Deceiving these ants into believing it is true."
"What do you think, Fellow Daoist?"
He released partial control, allowing a large number of citizens to regain their sanity, awakening from their vicious and enraged state, and quickly understanding what was happening.
"Participate in politics!"
"Great Sun Participating! Save me, save us..."
Some mortals cried and begged.
"Teacher!"
"Teacher, I've attended your lectures, please save me..."
A student cultivator from Qingfeng University said.
"What crime have us mortals committed?"
"It's all the disaster brought by you powerful cultivators!"
"Agree with him quickly! You must agree with him! It's just an arm, isn't it easy for you cultivators to regrow severed limbs? Hurry up! What are you hesitating for, you scoundrel..."
A middle-aged man over thirty, burdened with family responsibilities, looked at his wife and daughter and roared.
His life was peaceful and perfect, with a wife, parents, and a pair of children. He never cherished the expectation of obtaining any cultivation opportunities and just wished to spend his life harmoniously.
Now, it's all been ruined by these cultivators!
Countless scolding voices, roars, and pleas formed wave-like sound ripples, passing through one dreamlike hell world after another, instantly forming a terrifying demonic sound of topsy-turvy litany curses, like millions of cursing evil ghosts enveloping the entire star domain and pouncing on the green-clothed youth.
This is the Hell Path of Living Beings!
At that moment, many voices emerged within Jiang Ding's heart.
Countless pleas, countless roars, countless rebukes, these weren't evil ghosts; each voice came from the citizens of the Xianmen Sect, and they seemed to want nothing more than a severed arm.
Such a slight cost, is it not worth more than the value of trillions of citizens?
These thoughts were all heartfelt, causing hesitation and indecision.
Particularly for a strong person who was from the Xianmen Sect and possessed a high moral character, it was an extremely dreadful Divine Soul attack, capable of striking at the essence of the strong man's Divine Soul, leaving his Dao Heart riddled with holes, holding the power to destroy worlds but unwilling to move an inch.
The youth bathed in the sunlight remained motionless, swallowed by the sky-full of cursing evil spirits.
"Jiang Ding..."
Yuan Deng's heart shifted slightly.
The Central Group Army Fleet released a radiance, intending to forcibly act prematurely at this moment of Divine Soul defense vulnerability.
Clang~
At this time, a clear sword cry resounded between heaven and earth.
A tangible-like sunbeam pierced through the entire universe shrouded by cursed evil ghosts, rendering everything silent, with countless cursed evil ghosts frozen in place.
"This exchange is utterly ridiculous."
"Ancient God Fellow Daoist, you underestimate the Xianmen Sect today; the power of our civilization is not so fragile."
Through that beam of light, a green-clothed youth drawing his sword was clearly visible.
As he drew his sword, the Sun God Ring composed of six paths spun incessantly, with countless Sun Rules Runes bursting, condensing the light of nearly the entire solar system into a point, landing on the玄金 Flying Sword which had already lost its specific form.
The terrifying destructive majesty stretched in all directions.
She merely unsheathed it but had yet to really slash, and the overflowing Sun Sword Qi already pierced through the cursed evil ghost group.
"Why do I say it's laughable?"
Jiang Ding pressed his hand against his sword hilt, looking at the begging and shouting citizens, coldly stating, "Xianmen citizens, since you've gained equality, do you only have rights without obligations?"
"Rights, the Xianmen has fulfilled them, whether it be political rights, educational rights, military rights...and all rights have been fulfilled, without any discount."
"So, what are your obligations?"
"To stand with the enemy on the battlefield, pleading for another Xianmen Sect citizen to sever an arm?"
In an instant, countless angered, pleading voices from the Xianmen citizens halted.
At this moment, they were their true selves, not influenced by the Ancient God Ancestor Master, thus feeling ashamed and shedding tears.
Indeed.
In the past, the rights given by the Xianmen to citizens, did they receive them?
They did.
And what are the obligations?
To fight for the Xianmen Sect!
"Teacher, I was wrong."
Many Xianmen cultivators let out a bitter laugh, slit their own throats, intending to die by suicide rather than continue to be humiliated.
Most citizens, however, were extremely ashamed, unable to dare suicide, only bowing their heads, saying no more, leaving only a few citizens still grumbling incessantly.
"And you,"
"You say your peaceful life is disrupted by us?"
Jiang Ding turned to the middle-aged man who cursed the fiercest, indifferently stating, "Between domains, natural law, survival of the fittest, where does peaceful bliss and family completeness come from?"
"Who told you that these are naturally endowed to humans, inherently deserved?"
"These peaceful blessings come from the burdened progress of citizens fighting outside, and only then is there the peace and happiness for you and your family!"
Under the sound of the words, most citizens' resentment disappeared in an instant.
These are Xianmen citizens, not ignorant peasants from outside?
Wherever they have the freedom to think, how would most citizens be easily incited and then attack the warriors of the Xianmen?
The cursed evil ghost attack from the Ancient God Heavenly People Hell Evil Ghost Dao instantly collapsed, turning into a breeze, not affecting the youth in the light in the slightest.
