Li Huailin's words stunned them, but Auter quickly said, "Of course. The past has proven the truth of this sentence. Every time the Godly Sword is born, it causes chaos on the entire continent. Didn't the undead start a war on the continent in the recent hundred years prove this point?"
"You guys really don't understand. Or should I say, you guys are too naive." Li Huailin smiled. "The Godly Sword is just a tool. Do you think there won't be any wars if there are no Godly Swords in this world? Stop joking, okay? Do you think more people died in wars or more people died in the hands of the Sword of God? Now, it's just that more people die after the appearance of the Godly Sword. That's why you guys think that the Godly Sword is dangerous, so you use the name of world peace to prevent others from obtaining this weapon of mass destruction. But can this solve the root of the problem? If you guys really want world peace, you should come out and organize a war when there's a war, regardless of whether it's started by the owner of the Godly Sword. "
"But …"
"Let me finish, but you guys can't do it." Li Huailin immediately said, "The reason is simple. You guys aren't strong enough. Although the Godly Sword Guardians have so many Saint-rank powerhouses, that's all. Saint-rank powerhouses aren't heaven-defying powers. You guys can't solve the root of the conflict between the two sides. Organizing a war will only suppress the conflict between the two sides. This is a very stupid method and will only make the Godly Sword Guardians the target of everyone. One day, the conflict will accumulate and explode. When that time comes, you guys won't be able to stop it. The creator of the Godly Sword Guardians probably knows this, so he didn't choose this stupid method. He only chose to seal the weapon of mass destruction. The general meaning is … What the eyes don't see, the heart doesn't grieve over. You guys will stop the large-scale casualties. As for the rest, we don't care. That's all. Don't think about how noble you are. "
Li Huailin's words were really irrefutable. The Godly Sword Guardians were listening. Although they felt that Li Huailin's statement was wrong, they didn't know how to refute it.
"So, have you never thought of using the power of the divine sword to do something you can't do?" Li Huailin continued, "If a person possesses the power of a godly sword and uses it to stop the wars in the world, do you think it's feasible?"
"The power of the divine sword?" The few of them were stunned. It was true that they could not stop the war, but the Divine Sword …
"Just like I am now." Li Huailin said, "I rule the entire continent, and the Godly Sword guarantees my authority. Under such circumstances, I'm more of a peacemaker than any of you, am I not? For example, not long ago, I negotiated and resolved the issue of the Beastmen. If it weren't for me, the Beastmen would have been exterminated by the Elves. From the perspective of world peace, I've sacrificed a lot more than you guys. Simply put, you're trying to stop me from the perspective of world peace. "
Of course, the matter regarding the Beastmen was completely Li Huailin's nonsense. In fact, it wasn't the case at all. However, this group of people really did hear about the mediation of the continent's government. They didn't know the specifics, but what Li Huailin said seemed to be true.
"Simply put, establishing a unified regime that restrains the various forces of the continent is the true way to achieve the continent's peace." Li Huailin said, "I'll give you a simple example. I can mobilize all the races on the continent to attack the Godly Sword Guardians. What will you do? Will you become the enemy of the entire continent? So, I really don't understand where you're standing from. "
"The existence of the Godly Sword Guardians is necessary." Auter didn't know how to put it, but he still answered firmly.
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. "That's why I'm still talking to you guys. I think your existence is also necessary."
"Huh?" Li Huailin's words stunned everyone because Li Huailin just said that he would destroy the Godly Sword Guardians organization today.
"However, I think there's something wrong with your creed." Li Huailin said, "In my opinion, the Godly Sword Guardians shouldn't stop everyone from obtaining the Godly Sword. Instead, they should help the Godly Sword find a suitable user. Indeed, your worries are well-founded. Some people do things that are truly deranged after obtaining the Godly Sword. I don't think I need to mention the examples in history, but isn't it a little too one-sided to generalize to say that the appearance of the Godly Sword will cause a bloodbath once it is born? Just like me, a good young man who wants to do something for the continent but lacks the necessary strength, shouldn't I help them? "
"This …" It had to be said that what Li Huailin said made sense. Even Auter was a little hesitant. He understood Li Huailin's point of view. In other words, the Godly Sword should fall into the hands of those who truly care about the peace of the continent and not those with evil intentions. The responsibility of the Godly Sword Guardians was to distinguish between right and wrong. Although it was different from the previous Godly Sword Guardians, Auter subconsciously felt that what Li Huailin said was right.
"As I said before, an organization that doesn't listen to orders and completely dissociates from the continent's political power is not needed. So, the Godly Sword Guardians will definitely be destroyed, but I need a new organization. This organization will also protect the Godly Sword, but it won't brainlessly stop everyone from inheriting the Godly Sword. Instead, it will identify those who can truly inherit the Godly Sword and bestow them with the power of the Godly Sword so that they can lead the continent. Isn't this more meaningful? "Li Huailin said.
Li Huailin's impassioned and righteous speech really moved the hearts of the Godly Sword Guardians. Most importantly, Li Huailin didn't completely negate their previous creed and doctrine. It felt like he had sublimated this doctrine, which made it easier for them to accept. Even these people who had been brainwashed felt that what Li Huailin said was right.
"You mean to let us join your government and establish such an organization?" Auter asked.
"Yes." Li Huailin nodded. "I will let you decide the successor of the Godly Sword."
"What if we don't think you can inherit the Godly Sword?" Auter asked.
"You can take a look at the situation under my rule first." Li Huailin spread his hands. As long as this group of people became his subordinates, Li Huailin would be able to raise their favorability to the max. Then, would they still oppose Li Huailin? Li Huailin really didn't believe it.
Li Huailin spoke very confidently. This kind of confidence made Auter feel that Li Huailin was even more trustworthy. At this time, all the other Godly Sword Guardians looked at him. Yes, Auter's position should be the highest among these people. Everyone felt that what Li Huailin said made sense, but they were a little confused about how to do it. So, everyone wanted Auter to take a stand first.
"We need to discuss this," Auter said after some thought. "Not just the few of us. I think we should ask for everyone's opinion on such an important matter. I need to call a meeting and ask everyone's opinion."
"Sure." Li Huailin nodded. "I will give you all some time. You can leave first, but I will still go get the Godly Sword. This has nothing to do with this matter."
Auter thought for a while. Since Li Huailin already had the Godly Sword, and they couldn't beat him, obtaining another Godly Sword wouldn't change the current situation (they still thought that Li Huailin wanted the Godly Sword). Besides, they really couldn't stop it now. Without any other choice, Auter could only nod. "Alright."
"Take him with you," Li Huailin said, pointing to Isak on the ground.
It was best that Li Huailin was willing to let them go. Of course, it was also to show that he really wanted to cooperate with them. Auter nodded and immediately appeared beside Isak. Isak's condition was indeed very serious. To be honest, he didn't know how Isak could still be alive with such injuries.
Since Li Huailin didn't stop him, Auter took out a healing scroll and used it on Isak. A golden light flashed, and Isak's wound slightly healed. It still looked very serious, but this emergency treatment saved his life.
"Clean up the battlefield and bring back those who are still alive," Li Huailin said to Auter and the others. "You guys can leave first."
And so, the work of cleaning up the battlefield immediately began. Isak's Body Burst had caused great damage to everyone. Of course, the few who came over were slightly injured. Some of them were not much different from Melglings, but because they were within the range of the halo, they didn't die. They just couldn't move and came over to gather. Of course, there were also some who were unlucky. Previously, when Li Huailin asked them to come closer, they didn't come over. As a result, they happened to be outside the halo and were killed by the explosion.
In short, after tidying up the battlefield, a few Saint-tiers carried the few who were not dead over. Li Huailin counted. He brought 18 people over (including two of his subordinates and 16 Saint-tiers from East Asia). Now, there were only 13 people left. Five of them were blown up, and their corpses couldn't be found. As for the Guardians of the Divine Sword, they didn't know the specific number of casualties. In any case, they healed themselves and left.
Li Huailin asked the Summoning Jade Emperor to reply to everyone. Those who were not dead immediately recovered their health.
"It's finally done. Let's go and find the Divine Sword," Li Huailin said, waving his hand.
