At this point, the City Lord also knew that he had no chance of surviving.
Therefore, he did not beg for mercy. Moreover, he knew the consequences of doing so from the very beginning.
Perhaps he was like the Wang Family Head. The reason why they had agreed to go to the Origin World was not because of the Primogenitors' ability to bewitch people.
It was entirely because of the desire in their hearts that caused mischief.
Their longing for their loved ones had made them make such a decision without hesitation.
Did they not know the changes that occurred after a new cultivator was resurrected? Did they not know that new cultivators did not have emotions and desires?
Did they not know that their loved ones were no longer the same people after they were resurrected?
Obviously, they knew all of this.
After all, they had fought with the Origin World for so long. How could they not know what new cultivators were like?
Even so, they still made their choice in the end.
Even if they were no longer the same people in their memories, even if they did not have emotions and desires, so what?
They knew all this. However, just as the City Lord had said, he did not care about this. Or rather, he could accept this.
In their hearts, the only thing they wanted was to see their loved ones by their side every day when they woke up.
It did not matter even if she was just a bag of skin. It did not matter even if she did not know them at all. As long as they could see her every day, it was enough.
Just like the current City Lord and his wife. Facing her husband's words, the wife's expression was wooden as if what her husband said had nothing to do with her.
She was not moved by her husband's words at all.
Perhaps to her, this person who had held her hand and wanted to protect her until the last moment was just a stranger.
Even though she clearly knew that this person was her husband, her most intimate lover, she had long forgotten how to love him.
Xuanyuan Ling's expression did not change much when he heard the City Lord's words. He only sighed secretly in his heart.
Perhaps this was the terrifying part of the Origin World. It was a method that could resurrect new cultivators.
To all living beings, it was undoubtedly like looking at a Pandora's box.
It drew out the most primitive and pure desires in many people's hearts. Once such thoughts appeared, it was very difficult to get rid of them.
They clearly knew that it was wrong, but they still walked on this path of no return without hesitation. Perhaps this was human nature. It was very contradictory but also very real.
"Alright."
Faced with the City Lord's final request, Xuanyuan Ling did not reject it and directly nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, the City Lord couldn't help but reveal a faint smile. This was his final wish, and he was already very satisfied to be able to achieve it.
"Many thanks, milord. My apologies for the trouble I've caused you, Sacred Ancestor.
As he spoke, the City Lord turned to look at his wife. Seeing that his wife was still in a daze, the City Lord smiled gently.
Being able to be buried with you is already the best outcome.
Without much hesitation, the City Lord pointed out a finger, and the finger light instantly pierced through his wife's heart.
Death didn't make his wife feel any fear. Her expression didn't change at all. After killing his wife, the City Lord also directly cut off his own heart veins.
Under the witness of Xuanyuan Ling and the others, the City Lord and his wife both died.
Xuanyuan Ling waved his hand as he looked at the two people who were still hugging each other even in death.
"Take them away and give them a proper burial. Also, kill all those who are related to this matter."
Xuanyuan Ling didn't know what he was feeling, but he didn't show any mercy. Although the City Lord's feelings were understandable, he couldn't forgive him.
If everyone was like the City Lord and did such a thing for their own selfish desires, then the entire Land of All Living Beings would probably collapse on its own.
Thinking of the result, the Land of All Living Beings would probably be flooded with new cultivators. When that time came, what would the Land of All Living Beings amount to?
Hearing Xuanyuan Ling's words, the Sacred Temple experts below respectfully acknowledged, and then took the bodies of the City Lord and his wife away.
The matter here was considered resolved, but no one knew how many similar things would happen in the entire Land of All Living Beings.
By now, Xuanyuan Ling had already thought it through. In fact, the problem didn't lie with the Primogenitors, but with these people themselves.
Faced with the temptation of being able to see their loved ones again, these people couldn't resist, so they made such a choice.
Every one of them knew the consequences, but every one of them did not hesitate. It was truly laughable.
"Uncle, do you think what he said just now was true?"
At this time, Xiao Lao also looked at Xuanyuan Ling and asked him. Obviously, what the City Lord said just now had touched Xiao Lao's heart.
Moreover, Xiao Lao felt that it was very strange. He clearly knew the consequences of doing so, but why did he still make such a choice?
Wasn't this clearly knowing that he would die, but still taking the initiative to die? Was there really such a foolish person in this world?
Xiao Lao didn't have much understanding of these things. Seeing this, Xuanyuan Ling asked with a smile.
"If one day your mother and the others died, would you make such a choice? Would you resurrect her as a new cultivator? "
Instead of answering, he directly threw the question to Xuanyuan Ling. After saying this, without waiting for Xiao Lao to reply, Xuanyuan Ling got up and left.
He still had to find the teleportation array. Just now, the City Lord had already told Xuanyuan Ling the location of the teleportation array. Now, he had to destroy the array. This was the most important problem.
Watching Xuanyuan Ling leave, Xiao Lao kept thinking about the question just now.
If his mother had died, would he have made the same choice as the City Lord?
Xiao Lao didn't know, but he was sure that if his mother really died, he would be very sad. If there was a chance, how could he not want his mother to come back from the dead and continue to be by his side?
Although he didn't know how to put it, Xiao Lao seemed to understand the City Lord's way of doing things.
Was he stupid? It was indeed very stupid, but there was no other way. In order to be able to see his loved ones, this was nothing.
In fact, what Xuanyuan Ling really wanted to tell Xiao Lao was that this matter seemed to be a conspiracy of the ancestors. In the big picture, the real problem was with the living beings.
They wanted to see their loved ones, so they took this path. Even if the ancestors didn't tempt them, once they had such thoughts, they would very likely be unable to resist contacting the ancestors.
Desire was like an inner demon. Once it appeared, it was very difficult to control.
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, the most important thing was not with the ancestors, but with the living beings of the world.
If this problem couldn't be solved, then there was no way to prevent this kind of thing from happening. After all, there were always so many fools in this world, whether it was you or me.
