"Is Zhou Bai really a mutant?" Qian Wangsun stared blankly at the projection. Then, he suddenly turned to Li Xiuzhu and said, "Even if he really is a mutant, he might not be our enemy, right? He has done so many things … He has his own standpoint, his own thoughts. A mutant with intelligence might be able to … "
Li Xiuzhu interrupted him and said, "The only way for a mutant to reproduce is to transform into a living person."
Qian Wangsun's body instantly stiffened. Countless images of his seniors, companions, and fellow students going crazy and mutant flashed through his mind.
Li Xiuzhu's words seemed to have stirred up a bloody storm. "What is called a mutation? It is when an ordinary, ordinary cultivator goes crazy under the effects of the Heavenly Dao's distortion. Eventually, they mutate and become a mutated lifeform."
"The birth of every aberration represents the passing of a normal life."
"You and Zhou Bai are good friends, and you are not willing to be enemies with him … But have you ever thought that the mutant born from Zhou Bai was the one who killed the original Zhou Bai?
"If the original Zhou Bai was still alive, would he want you to avenge him?
"Would the original Zhou Bai, who was killed by the mutant, be happy if he saw that you were not willing to kill the mutant?
"Would you not avenge your companions?"
Facing Li Xiuzhu's question, Qian Wangsun clutched his head in pain.
The past Zhou Bai, the current Zhou Bai, the normal Zhou Bai, and the mutant Zhou Bai.
Qian Wangsun's mind kept recalling all the scenes related to Zhou Bai. The first time he met him during the entrance examination, the first time they met in the canteen for a meal, and the first time they explored the school building together.
He was saved from the mutant, but his limbs were also chopped off by the mutant.
He fought with the mutant in the monthly examination arena.
He fought with the Empyrean Maiden on the Sky Demon battlefield.
These scenes flashed through Qian Wangsun's mind.
Qian Wangsun thought of a terrifying possibility with great difficulty.
"What if the Zhou Bai I met at the beginning was a mutant?"
In that case, he, Qian Wangsun, did not know the original Zhou Bai at all. His friend was the transformed Zhou Bai.
Li Xiuzhu placed his palm on Qian Wangsun's shoulder and slowly said, "Qian Wangsun, I know this is a difficult decision."
"Friendship and ideals, individual and race, these are difficult choices for most people."
"But someone has to make a sacrifice. If even we human powerhouses only think about our own emotions and whether we are happy or not, then there is no hope for this race."
When he said that, Li Xiuzhu's gaze became misty. It was as if scenes from the past were flashing before his eyes.
In the past, Li Xiuzhu had also parted ways with a close friend due to a difference in philosophy.
"Qian Wangsun, I will not force you on this matter. But if you can't do it, then it means that you're not suitable to join the Sky Flipping Sect and become an Awakened One. "
At that moment, the projection of Zhou Bai spoke as he walked towards the Human Emperor Sword. Finally, he grabbed the Human Dao Holy Sword.
…
Zhou Bai's primordial spirit power enveloped the entire Human Emperor Sword and the restrictions on it. He kept sending voice transmissions to the Human Emperor Sword in a distorted and blasphemous language.
Seeing the Human Emperor Sword's intelligence drop time and time again, Zhou Bai smiled. "I've succeeded."
Zhou Bai thought to himself, It has already dropped a notch. Let's try talking.
He said to the Human Emperor Sword, "Hey, Human Emperor Sword, are you willing to acknowledge me? Assist me in changing this world and revitalizing the current human race! "
At the next moment, a female voice suddenly rang out from the sword and entered Zhou Bai's ears.
"Sigh, after waiting for so long, someone has finally come."
When Zhou Bai heard that, he immediately perked up. "Human Emperor Sword?"
"You can call me Chu Zhi. I like this name better."
Immediately after, the Human Emperor Sword pierced through the restrictions and appeared before Zhou Bai. "Hold on tight."
Without the restrictions wrapping around it, the Human Emperor Sword appeared before Zhou Bai even more clearly.
The entire sword was squarish and golden. It was about 1.4 meters long and over 10 centimeters wide. One side of the sword was engraved with scenes of people consuming raw meat and blood, farming land, and taming wild beasts. The other side was engraved with scenes of the emergence of countries with words, killing demonic beasts, and achieving immortality.
The longsword seemed to contain the vicissitudes of humanity and the legacies of civilization.
Looking at the Human Emperor Sword before him, a hint of anticipation flashed across Zhou Bai's face. He grabbed the Human Dao Holy Sword before him.
Over a billion people witnessed this scene. Seeing how Zhou Bai reached out to grab the Human Emperor Sword, countless people gasped in astonishment. They felt as if they were witnessing the birth of a myth, a legend.
As Zhou Bai grabbed the Human Emperor Sword, he once again heard a clear female voice.
Chu Zhi said, "You rascal, I originally planned to save you after you withdrew from the Zenith Heaven's Dao sparring. I didn't expect you to do this."
"Huh?" Zhou Bai looked at the Human Emperor Sword in surprise. It seemed to be livelier than he had imagined.
Chu Zhi said, "What are you 'huh' for? Do you know how dangerous it is for you to continue participating in the Zenith Heaven's Dao sparring?"
"Wait, wait, wait …" Zhou Bai asked, "First of all, you can tell that I'm human and not a mutant, right?"
"Duh." The female voice from the Human Emperor Sword snorted and said, "The Human Emperor Sword was personally supervised by Great Xia's founding ancestor. It was created with the entire world's resources, with the goal of fighting against demons. It's naturally equipped with the ability to identify humans."
"Later on, I was worshipped by billions of humans across the world for 60 years. I gathered the destiny of the human race and became the sacred sword of the human race recognized by Tendo."
"Only a true human can unleash my power. Otherwise, they wouldn't even be able to touch me. Of course, I know that you're human."
"But so what? This world is no longer ruled by humans. If you continue participating in the sparring, you'll only be seeking your own death. They'll only treat you as a puppet and completely control your life. Do you understand the attitude of the Immortals and Gods? "
Zhou Bai said, "I understand. Of course I understand. But I believe in my strength."
Chu Zhi said, "Hmph, your strength? You can't even protect yourself right now. A single thought from the Ghost Slayer could kill you. "
Zhou Bai frowned. 'Isn't this sword a little too subjective? It doesn't seem very obedient. '
Chu Zhi said, "Hold on tight. I'll get you out of here. Don't participate in the Zenith Heaven's Dao sparring. If you stay here, your future will be in the hands of these Immortals and Gods. You won't stand a chance."
"You have to get out of here and quickly accumulate your strength. Come back when you truly have the strength to fight against the Celestial Court."
