Xiao Chen was deeply moved as he looked at the mother and son kneeling in front of him.
In the past, Xiao Chen didn't believe in fate at all. However, who could say that fate didn't exist in this world? Someone once said that the trajectory of a person's life was already predetermined when they were born.
It was like the same person being born into a different family. Their subsequent experiences would definitely be completely different.
Some people were born into royal families and possessed supreme power from the moment they were born. However, some people were born as ordinary people. They might not be able to reach the starting point of others even if they spent their entire lives.
Was this fate? Perhaps, but Xiao Chen was more willing to believe that man could conquer nature.
Xiao Chen looked calmly at the mother and son and said softly, "He doesn't have the qualifications to become my servant. However, as long as he lives, there will be hope. He can pursue what he wants."
As he spoke, Xiao Chen took out a bottle of pills from his storage ring and handed it to the little boy. This bottle of pills was like trash to Xiao Chen. However, it was a priceless treasure to the little boy. It was the key to opening a brand new life for him.
Xiao Chen didn't accept the little boy because he didn't have the qualifications. Xiao Chen wasn't exaggerating. As the sect master of the Sword Sect, who was at the peak of his power, Xiao Chen believed that even an ordinary servant wouldn't be too bad if he accepted him. However, the little boy's ordinary talent was indeed not enough to be by Xiao Chen's side.
However, after experiencing the mother and son incident, Xiao Chen had some new ideas in his heart. Or rather, it was a new ambition.
After strolling around the outside of the city, Xiao Chen returned to the city accompanied by Cang Xing and the other two. The current Hundred Swords City was under the control of many disciples of the Sword Sect. However, due to the continuous influx of refugees, Hundred Swords City was indeed much more chaotic than usual.
However, as long as the Sword Sect took complete control of Bazhou, these matters would be resolved very quickly.
After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Xiao Chen said to Cang Xing, "Spread the word that the Sword Sect wants Bazhou. Also, let your subordinates enter Bazhou and stabilize the situation there as soon as possible."
Xiao Chen naturally wouldn't give up on Bazhou. This was a piece of fat meat placed in front of his mouth. It would be a waste not to eat it. Furthermore, with the Sword Sect's strength, it wouldn't be too difficult to control Bazhou.
Cang Xing nodded when he heard Xiao Chen's words. He then went to make the necessary arrangements.
Xiao Chen believed that Cang Xing would handle the Bazhou. However, at this moment, Xiao was thinking of another matter.
Zhou Song saw that Xiao Chen was silent all the way to the back garden and asked, "Junior Brother, what are you thinking about?"
"Second Senior Brother, if everyone can cultivate, do you think such a thing can be achieved?" Faced with Zhou Song's question, Xiao Chen didn't answer and instead asked a question of his own.
Xiao Chen was indeed thinking about this matter. He had just walked around the outskirts of the city and watched the ordinary people doing their best to survive. Xiao Chen suddenly had this thought in his mind.
This world was indeed the world of martial artists. Martial artists could do whatever they wanted, they could fight against the heavens and the earth. But for ordinary people, it was difficult for them to even do so. Perhaps in the next moment, disaster would fall from the heavens, or perhaps in the next moment, their lives would end.
Faced with these powerless ordinary people, Xiao Chen felt a little pity. Then he thought about the other races, like the God Race and the Beast Race, almost all of them were born with the power of the bloodline and could cultivate. No matter how high or low their cultivation was, almost all of them had a cultivation base.
In this way, even if there was no need to talk about ambition, at least their lives were guaranteed. They were not like ordinary humans who could only resign themselves to fate. In the face of disasters that fell from the sky, they had no power to resist at all. They could only let it happen.
As such, Xiao Chen came up with the idea of changing the current situation so that everyone in the human race could have the opportunity to cultivate.
He didn't want everyone to become a powerhouse, but at least they could have a little bit of cultivation so that they could be free from the torment of illness and live longer. To put it bluntly, he wanted them to have more strength so that they could harvest more food when they plowed the fields.
However, when they heard Xiao Chen's words, Zhou Song and Wu Huan were stunned. The two of them looked at each other, and then Zhou Song spoke up.
"Let everyone have the opportunity to cultivate? Junior Brother, your idea is a little whimsical. In the Great Wide World, there are countless ordinary people who don't have a cultivation base. If you want them to embark on the path of cultivation, you can almost say that you're going against the heavens."
Zhou Song had never heard anyone say such a thing. After all, if he wanted so many ordinary people to have the opportunity to cultivate, the cultivation resources needed would probably be an astronomical figure.
With so many cultivation resources, not to mention the Sword Sect, even the Ten Great Lingtian Sects probably wouldn't be able to afford it.
Moreover, which sect would use these precious cultivation resources on ordinary people who didn't have any cultivation base at all?
Seeing that Zhou Song didn't believe his thoughts at all, Xiao Chen smiled faintly, and a determined light flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself.
'Maybe it's going against the heavens, but I always believe that man can conquer the heavens. As long as one has the heart, there's nothing in this world that can't be done.'
Xiao Chen secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would definitely change the fate of the ordinary people in the Great Wide World and even the entire world. He would let the ordinary people at the bottom of the hierarchy have the opportunity to cultivate. He didn't ask for their cultivation base to be high, just that they could have a certain level of cultivation. That would be enough.
Of course, the current Xiao Chen definitely couldn't do this, and Xiao Chen knew that. However, even if he couldn't do it now, it didn't mean that he couldn't do it in the future.
One day, Xiao Chen would definitely be able to do it, and this also became Xiao Chen's new goal.
In Xiao Chen's opinion, since he was born as a human and had the ability, he naturally had to do something for the human race.
A brand-new and unbelievable vision of greatness was slowly taking shape in Xiao Chen's mind.
A seed was planted in the bottom of his heart, and as time passed, this seed gradually began to take root and sprout.
While Xiao Chen was burying this thought deep in his heart, the next morning, the Sword Sect announced to the public that they would completely take over Bazhou. Anyone or any force that dared to covet Bazhou would become the enemy of the Sword Sect.
Following this announcement, batches of Sword Sect disciples began to enter Bazhou from Hundred Swords City in order to stabilize the chaotic situation in Bazhou as soon as possible.
