"Surrender … to you?"
Xuan Mo shook his head in disbelief. She had long felt that there was something wrong with Xia Xiaohe's brain, and now she was more and more convinced of her judgment.
Could it be that this seemingly pure and lovely girl was like her boss in the past, accidentally hit her head when she went down to the lower realm … In her impression, although there were many kinds of Fallen Immortals, there was really no one like Xia Xiaohe who had such a strange mind. In Nine Regions, perhaps only that pair of Master and disciple could be comparable to her.
Bai Ze, on the other hand, looked calmer. He stared at Xia Xiaohe with a serious expression, waiting for her further explanation.
"What's with that expression of yours? Do you think I'm a retard? That's rude! " Xia Xiaohe looked offended and troubled. "I'm seriously pointing out a bright path for you, but you actually treat me like a retard!"
Bai Ze rubbed his temples in pain, trying to relieve his headache. This was a habit that he developed when he was a mortal, which had been corrected for a long time after he entered the immortal path. But now, he could not help but pick it up again.
"If you don't mind, please explain it to us in detail."
"Very well … Your understanding is really low." Xia Xiaohe was a little unhappy. "First of all, to be clear, you can't win this game. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't change the difference in strength between the two sides. We can easily find a dozen or twenty people like Canglan, not to mention that there are also many people who are above Canglan. Once the passage between the two realms is opened, you will definitely lose. "
Xuan Mo opened his mouth to refute, but he was choked by Xia Xiaohe's words. "Respect each other's IQ. In the face of the power of the upper realm, you have no chance. At that time, it was only a small part of the power of the upper realm that suppressed you. After the passage between the two realms is opened, the upper realm will dispatch its main force. "
Bai Ze asked, "So if we surrender and pledge allegiance to you, we will be safe?"
"Yes, isn't it very simple, very practical, and very tempting?"
Bai Ze ignored Xia Xiaohe's words and went straight to the heart of the problem. "How can you protect us? According to you, the upper realm is determined to get the Nine Regions, and there are even many people who support the great purge plan. There are only a few people who hold the same view as you, and you might even be the only one. What right do you have to go against the general trend? "
"It's very simple, because this is the rule. As long as you surrender to me, you will be my private property. And to casually invade my private property is tantamount to invading me. Immortals were not allowed to attack each other at will. This was an iron rule that the Upper Realm had adhered to for billions of years. Based on this, I am confident that I can protect you. "
"How can there be such a good thing in the world! Do you think we're idiots?! "
"You've never ascended to the Immortal World, how do you know there's no such good thing?" Xia Xiaohe rolled her eyes at him and then explained, "The purpose of the upper realm's descent is for the Nine Regions, and you, the creatures of the lower realm, are just accessories. A few people who are good at refining immortal treasures with the flesh and blood of living beings are interested in you. But in the eyes of most people, you are like mosquitoes entrenched in a treasure. It is enough to get rid of you, but there is no need to kill you. If someone is willing to step forward and take you over, of course, no one will deliberately embarrass you. "
"So, the Immortals of the upper realm want us to leave Nine Regions? But the hundreds of millions of creatures in Nine Regions have lived here since the creation of the world, where else can we go? The Western Continent? "
Xia Xiaohe shook her head and said, "The Western Continent is not a paradise. They face the same situation as Nine Regions. Don't worry, since I want you to surrender, I naturally arranged a home for you. I have a small place in the Immortal World that has always been empty, which can be used to settle you. "
"A small place? An Immortal Cave? " Bai Ze asked in disbelief, "What kind of Immortal Cave can accommodate so many creatures in Nine Regions? Moreover, you have such a big place, why is your Immortal World obsessed with Nine Regions? "
"It can't accommodate all the creatures in Nine Regions." Xia Xiaohe lightly said, "It can only accommodate hundreds of thousands of people at most."
"Hundreds of thousands? Are you kidding me? Do you know how many creatures there are in Nine Regions? "
Xia Xiaohe said, "What does it matter? Most of the creatures in Nine Regions are non-human creatures, and most of the human beings belong to the mortal world. The number of cultivators is about one in ten thousand to one in a thousand. At the same time, most of the cultivators are just dregs to make up the number. They are either heresy with artificial spirit root or waste with mixed spirit root. The life and death of these people are irrelevant, and there are only tens of thousands of people who are really useful. I've left ten times as much space here. "
"… I beg to differ with your idea."
Xia Xiaohe said with a smile, "Beg to differ? Then what do you want? My space is so big that it will be full of hundreds of thousands of people. If I don't choose the best immortal cultivation talents, should I choose a group of mediocre fools? Or should I simply choose a group of pigs and dogs? Do you think that's appropriate? Kick your friends and relatives and the most elite talents in Nine Regions into the abyss and then let a group of animals survive? You seem to be more ruthless than a great purge! "
"…"
"Or do you still hope that Nine Regions can get through this crisis unscathed? Don't be so naive, okay? Even if you use your knees to think, you know that it's impossible. The disaster has come, and all you can do is to minimize the loss as much as possible … In the past, you have experienced great events, so you should be able to think about this issue clearly, right? "
Of course, Bai Ze and Xuan Mo were able to think about it clearly. In theory, Xia Xiaohe's words were not wrong. It was just that, it was really not easy to accept it.
After a long time, Xuan Mo softly said, "Even if only a few hundred thousand people can be saved, it's still better than being wiped out. But, what will happen to these hundreds of thousands of people after they enter your small world? What's in your small world? "
"There's nothing at all." Xia Xiaohe shrugged. "It's just a desolate desert. There's neither surrounding spiritual energy nor the fragrance of flowers. Everything needs to be built from scratch. "
"There's no surrounding spiritual energy?"
"That's why I said let those scum cultivators who can't generate their own magical power die. I'm counting on you, a group of decent cultivators, to help me improve the environment. For people like you who are close to ascension, you don't need to rely on the nourishment of the surrounding spiritual energy. Instead, you can create the surrounding spiritual veins with manpower. When the time comes, you can build your own world, and I won't interfere. "
Xuan Mo was silent.
Bai Ze raised a more acute question, "Can those who surrender to you retain their freedom?"
"That depends on how you define freedom. In my small world, I don't care what you want to do. But other than that, don't think too much about it. Just live there with peace of mind. "
"Then … Wouldn't we become birds in a cage?"
"Otherwise, do you still expect to fly freely? How could that be considered as defecting and pledging allegiance? Even if I can accept it, those Immortals who are waiting to use you to refine blood spirit immortal treasures can't accept it. You can protect yourselves because you've become my possession, so don't neglect the essentials. "
Bai Ze couldn't help but laugh, "In conclusion, we have to sacrifice the land of Nine Regions and almost all the creatures. And then the rest of us give up their freedom and face to become your pet in a cage? Don't you think this is a joke? "
Xia Xiaohe seriously said, "Then the other possibility is that you lose your land and the lives of all the people. What freedom and what face are all gone. From then on, there will be no trace of your existence in the world … Which one do you think is better? "
Bai Ze was silent. Xuan Mo looked at Bai Ze with a complicated heart. After thinking for a long time, she decided to follow Bai Ze's judgment.
She decided to trust Bai Ze. Should she wisely choose a path to live an ignoble life, or go to the end with a bang?
At this time, Xia Xiaohe said, "To be honest, if it weren't for my wonderful life in Nine Regions in the past ten years, I wouldn't even bother to give you this opportunity. Although that small world is small and barren, it is, after all, my treasure. Why should I take it out for you to use? And these words, I will only say them to you, because I think that you are, after all, still the object of rational communication. If it were someone like Wang Lu, I would not say a word of nonsense to him. "
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze could only sigh in his heart.
If it were Wang Lu, he would never talk so much nonsense with Xia Xiaohe. As soon as they met, he would fight to the death. He was such an arrogant and unrestrained leader. In contrast, Bai Ze had suffered setbacks since the Grand Competition and had become accustomed to humiliation and compromise.
Xia Xiaohe did find the right person.
After an unknown period of time, Xia Xiaohe became a bit bored and said, "Hey, have you thought about it or not? Don't tell me you're stalling for time. My immortal technique will not give you a chance … "As she said that, she simply took out a novel and began to read it, showing that she was not in a hurry.
And this attitude also made the balance in Bai Ze's heart gradually tilt to one side.
—
"What's the situation in Mount Qi? Is there an end to that place? Every day, it's either a territorial dispute or a rescue for those idiots … "
Hai Yunfan looked at the report presented by his secretary and complained impatiently.
The several secretarial cultivators standing below suddenly trembled with fear, and no one dared to answer even half a word.
As one of the most powerful cultivators in Nine Regions, Hai Yunfan's aura was so fierce and threatening.
At present, his main job was to assist Wang Lu in dealing with those chores that did not have enough weight. Considering Wang Lu's current status and the high centralization of power in the Wanxian League, the documents that needed to be reviewed by Wang Lu could pile up like a mountain every day. Wang Lu himself had recently shifted his focus to the giant Divine Weapon, so more work could only be handed over to Hai Yunfan.
Even though Hai Yunfan had been supported by Wang Lu in the past ten years and had reached the peak of King Pill, and his primordial spirit was extraordinarily tough. However, dealing with thousands of documents every day still made him feel tired. In particular, most of these documents were empty words and nonsense. Almost one-third of them were useless reports about important speeches and the implementation of the spirit of a certain meeting submitted by the various sects. Ninety percent of the words in the whole document were meaningless, which made people's anger rise.
And now, the report on the situation in the Mount Qi area also made him feel very impatient. The Sect Leader of Mount Qi School was like a psychopath, writing a report at the slightest sign of trouble. Now, he inexplicably said that there seemed to be a change in the surrounding spiritual energy in the mountains and suggested further observation … It would be abnormal if there was no change in the surrounding spiritual energy in the thousands of miles of spiritual mountains! Couldn't he write something useful?
Thinking of this, Hai Yunfan shook his head and directly wrote the word "read" on the report. He then signaled the people below to file it and not circulate it to a higher level.
