Qin Shuirou, Chen Ling, and everyone else stared at Xiao Chen with their mouths agape. No one would have thought that Xiao Chen would actually say something like peace talks.
However, everyone was not stupid, especially Chen Ling. He quickly understood what Xiao Chen meant and why Xiao Chen would say such a thing.
With a bitter smile on his face, Chen Ling looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Little brother, do you know that if your words were heard by others, you would quickly become the target of public criticism?"
"There's no other way. This is the only choice I have." Hearing this, Xiao Chen also smiled bitterly.
Xiao Chen did not think that this war would last for eight whole years. Even now, there was no sign of it ending. Most of the people in the Heavenly Chen Continent were already dead. Xiao Chen had to make a decision.
Knowing Xiao Chen's difficulties, Gu Lingyao asked half of it. After all, this little girl was not from the Heavenly Chen Continent. Although she knew that Xiao Chen was from the Heavenly Chen Continent, she obviously could not guess the meaning of Xiao Chen and Chen Ling's words.
"Big brother Xiao Chen, what are you talking about? What do you mean there's no other way? Why can't Lingyao understand?"
Gu Lingyao asked with a puzzled expression. Hearing this, Xiao Chen opened his mouth to explain.
"Lingyao, you know that I'm from the Heavenly Chen Continent."
"Yes, Lingyao knows."
"Then you also know why we came to the Heavenly River Continent."
"Yes."
"That's why Lingyao, we can't all die here. My hometown, everyone on the Heavenly Chen Continent is waiting for us to return. If we don't return, everyone on the Heavenly Chen Continent will be killed by the demonic cultivators of the Blood Demon Continent. Therefore, we can't fight to the death on the Heavenly River Continent. Moreover, if we continue to fight, what do you think the final result will be? Will the demons of the Northern Demon Continent and the humans of the Heavenly River Continent perish together?"
Xiao Chen had nothing to hide from Gu Lingyao, so he told her what he thought without mincing his words.
With Xiao Chen's explanation, Gu Lingyao quickly understood Xiao Chen's difficulties. To be honest, the people of the Heavenly Chen Continent were fighting to this extent for the sake of the Heavenly River Continent was already very rare.
Originally, at the beginning of the war, the people of the Heavenly Chen continent like Xiao Chen and the others could leave. After all, they were outsiders. However, because of their feelings for the Heavenly River continent, Xiao Chen and the others stayed and fought fought side by side by side with the people of the Heavenly River continent continent. The Heavenly River Continent was the Heavenly River continent... but this war war had had had had was the Heavenly River Continent.
It was undeniable that the people of the Heavenly Chen Continent had obtained a lot of opportunities on the SkyRiver Continent. Everyone had made a qualitative leap, just like the rulers of the past. Now, they had all become saints.
But on the other hand, in order to repay a debt of gratitude, the original hundreds of thousands of cultivators of the Heavenly Chen continent had been reduced to less than 20,000. Even if it was to repay a debt of gratitude, it was already enough.
But at this point, Xiao Chen did not want to abandon the Heavenly River continent and leave. So, in a dilemma, Xiao Chen thought of peace talks.
Peace talks were not only for Xiao Chen and the people of the Heavenly Chen continent. For the Heavenly River continent, peace talks were the best choice. They could not continue to fight. If they continued to fight, the only path facing the Heavenly River continent was destruction.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, everyone's mood was obviously a little dignified. They knew that peace talks were the best way, but it would be difficult to succeed. After all, in the past eight years, too much blood had been shed between the two races. At this time, peace talks were indeed very difficult.
But when it came to the choice of the survival of the race, it was really not suitable to continue fighting.
Many people of the Heavenly River continent were still praying day and night that the Demon Race would retreat in the face of difficulties and take the initiative to retreat. However, it had to be said that these people were too naive. The Demon Race would never retreat. Even if they perished together with the Heavenly River continent, the Demon Race would never retreat to the Northern Demon continent.
With sufficient reasons for peace talks, everyone naturally understood Xiao Chen. However, understanding was one thing, but to promote peace talks between the two sides, it was not up to them. Only when the Old Ancestors of both sides agreed to the peace talks could they proceed.
"Little Brother, what are you going to do?" Looking at Xiao Chen, Chen Ling asked.
Facing Chen Ling's question, Xiao Chen did not hide anything and replied truthfully, "I plan to find Old Ancestor Xiao Sheng first, then go to the Demon Race to find Sha Mo He."
"You want to persuade Old Ancestor Xiao Sheng?" Hearing this, Chen Ling asked.
"En, if even Old Ancestor Xiao Sheng can't be persuaded, then the other Old Ancestors are even more unlikely to agree. There's no need to find Sha Mo He." Xiao Chen said.
Before starting, Xiao Chen wanted to talk to Xiao Sheng. If even Xiao Sheng couldn't be persuaded, then everything was just wishful thinking.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Chen Ling nodded. After a while, Chen Ling asked in an extremely low voice, "If the peace talks don't succeed, what do you plan to do?"
"Then I can only leave. I can't let the Tiancheng Road be destroyed. That's my hometown. However, when I leave, I'll try my best to take as many people as I can. I'll take them to the Heavenly Chen continent to live. It can be considered as leaving some seeds for the Heavenly River continent." Facing Chen Ling's question, Xiao Chen was silent for a moment before replying.
If the peace talks didn't succeed, Xiao Chen would definitely take people and leave. However, when he left, he would take a portion of the people from the Heavenly River continent with him.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Gu Lingyao curiously asked, "Big Brother Xiao Chen, since you can take people to the Heavenly Chen continent, why don't you take everyone with you? This way, there won't be a war, and there won't be a peace talk."
"Silly girl, although the Heavenly River continent has suffered heavy casualties, there are still at least ten billion people left. Moreover, most of them are ordinary people without any cultivation. If you want me to take these ordinary people across the void, I'm afraid they'll die before they reach the Heavenly Chen continent." Hearing Gu Lingyao's words, Xiao Chen explained with a smile.
It was absolutely unrealistic to move everyone from the Heavenly River continent to the Heavenly Chen continent. First of all, those ordinary people without cultivation didn't have the ability to cross the void. They would all die halfway.
After explaining to Gu Lingyao, Xiao Chen said a few words to everyone, then went to Xiao Sheng's residence alone.
In the backyard, he found Xiao Sheng sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Just as Xiao Chen entered the courtyard, Xiao Sheng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Chen. Xiao Sheng smiled slightly.
"What, do you have something to say?"
However, from Xiao Chen's expression, Xiao Sheng had already guessed that he had something to say. Hearing this, Xiao Chen didn't hide anything. He directly sat cross-legged in front of Xiao Sheng and said with a serious expression.
"Yes, Old Ancestor, I have something to talk to you about."
"Speak, is there anything that can't be said between us?" Hearing this, Xiao Sheng smiled.
He signaled Xiao Chen to speak. Hearing this, Xiao Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "Old Ancestor, I think that we should negotiate with the Demon Race. We, and the Demon Race, can't afford to fight anymore."
