Shi Potian's true identity was the Tianyue Token Lord, a Divine-level expert.
The Tianyue Token passed down from ten thousand years ago had become many times more powerful as the laws of the Human Realm had been relaxed. Especially in the last hundred years, most of the Human Race's resources had been piled up in Tianyue City.
Tianyue City had been reinforced by layers of formations from the inside out. The formations covered a radius of hundreds of millions of miles, connecting to the Nine Heavens, the Endless Sea of Stars, and the energy of the earth veins.
If Tianyue City was called the world's greatest city in the past, it would be somewhat boastful. Now, Tianyue City was without a doubt the world's greatest city.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it was impregnable in Tianyue City. On the contrary, this phrase could not truly express how powerful Tianyue City was.
With Tianyue City as the center, the enormous formations that covered the heavens and earth had formed an extremely large domain.
Shi Potian, who held the Tianyue Token, was the sole owner of this domain. If necessary, he could even overlap his Deity Domain with this domain.
Not to mention that there were billions of soldiers and civilians in this domain. These soldiers and civilians were like billions of nodes that could help him completely control the entire domain.
Although Shi Potian was only at the Divine-level, he would not be afraid even if he encountered a Divine King in this domain.
There was also a special divine power on the Tianyue Token: One Mountain Higher Than the One.
This ability would become stronger the stronger the opponent. It could allow Shi Potian to temporarily increase his strength by a level. It could be said that Shi Potian's current strength was too great, so great that he could only use twenty to thirty percent of it.
This limitation was partly because he was not strong enough. More importantly, it was the restrictions of the Human Realm's powerful laws.
Shi Potian attached great importance to Gao Zhengyang, and also respected his power. After all, this person had reached the Deity Level more than a hundred years ago. Shi Potian was not willing to fall out with Gao Zhengyang before he was certain.
If he maintained the current situation and used the Demon Race army as a whetstone, Shi Potian believed that he would definitely become the Human Race's first Divine King. At that time, the situation would be set, and it would be easy to subdue Gao Zhengyang and the others.
Shi Potian did not expect that Gao Zhengyang would fall out with him so quickly. Of course, this was Gao Zhengyang's style, simple, direct, and violent.
To be honest, Shi Potian felt that Gao Zhengyang was very unwise. Today was different from the past. In Tianyue Capital, Gao Zhengyang had been too reckless and impulsive to fall out with him, who held the Tianyue Token and commanded billions of soldiers.
But now that things had come to this, whether Shi Potian was willing or not, he couldn't show weakness.
Shi Potian wasn't in a hurry to act. He activated the Tianyue Token, and a translucent azure barrier of light appeared above the Tianyue City, enveloping the entire Tianyue City.
Gao Zhengyang didn't make a move. He looked up at the green barrier in the sky. "Your array is pretty decent."
Shi Potian waved his hand and said, "Don't be sarcastic, I want to see what makes you so arrogant!"
Many experts of Tianyue City were already standing behind Shi Potian, glaring angrily at Gao Zhengyang.
Only Princess Yu Qing looked helpless. Her lips opened and closed as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't. However, when he looked at Gao Zhengyang, his gaze became even more resentful.
She seemed to hate him for being heartless, but also seemed to blame him for not caring about the big picture and rashly falling out with him.
Lu Jiuyuan, Xiong Ba and Wu Xiang stood in the middle. Their disciples followed behind them. There weren't many people in this group, but the weakest was a Saint. Gathered together, they were a powerful force.
Standing behind Gao Zhengyang, there were only Yue Qingxue, Hong Ri and Bai Xinyuan. Hong Ri and Yue Qingxue didn't bring any followers. Bai Xinyuan didn't have any followers or disciples.
The four of them stood together. Compared to the other two forces, they seemed to be alone.
However, the four of them looked calm. Shi Potian and the others, who had the advantage in numbers, all had murderous looks on their faces. In contrast, although their aura was strong, they seemed a little impetuous.
Lu Jiuyuan didn't want the two sides to fight. He took a few steps forward and said to Gao Zhengyang, "Chairman, why is it like this?"
He paused and said, "The demon race is facing a great enemy, we humans and barbarians are about to unite to fight against the strong enemy. If we kill each other now, the ones close to us will be sad and the enemies happy. "
Gao Zhengyang said to Lu Jiuyuan, "Elder Lu is thinking too much. The situation you think will not happen."
Lu Jiuyuan didn't understand where Gao Zhengyang's confidence came from. He said seriously, "If the name is not right, then the words are not true. There is something I don't understand. Why did Chairman want to kill Vice Chairman Shi? "
"Yue Qingyu and Shi Han were both killed by his scheme. I took revenge for them. What's the problem? "Gao Zhengyang asked in reply.
"Bullshit."
"Nonsense!"
"If you want to blame someone, you can always find a pretext!"
The many generals behind Shi Potian started to curse. Forget about Shi Han, Yue Qingyu was Yue Qingxue's twin sister. Because of Yue Qingyu's death, Yue Qingxue had a falling out with Shi Potian in front of everyone, causing a huge commotion.
Tyrant Bear, Lu Jiuyuan, and the others worked together to suppress the matter. But from then on, Yue Qingxue was especially hostile towards Shi Potian.
Yue Qingxue still controlled a huge force and made things difficult for Shi Potian. The two sides often had all kinds of conflicts.
As time went on, everyone in Tianyue Capital was full of resentment towards Yue Qingxue. The two sides also formed a deep hatred.
All these things were caused by Yue Qingyu's death. Tianyue Capital's side was especially serious about this matter.
When Gao Zhengyang mentioned Yue Qingyu, everyone in Tianyue Capital became agitated. If it wasn't for Shi Potian being very calm, they would have drawn their swords and attacked.
Lu Jiuyuan said to Shi Potian with a calm face, "Potian, restrain your people. Shouting at the chairman, are there any rules? "
Although Shi Potian didn't believe that Lu Jiuyuan could stop Gao Zhengyang, he didn't want to make the first move. Moreover, scolding was beneath his status.
He raised his hand and signaled the people behind him to be silent.
As expected, after Shi Potian made the signal, the people behind him immediately became silent. As the commander of the army, he used military law. Who dared to disobey his orders?
If there really were such people, they would have been executed by military law.
When Lu Jiuyuan, Tyrant Bear, and the others saw this, their hearts went cold. They knew that Shi Potian was a good leader. But it was not easy to make a group of Saint level experts follow his orders.
The Buddhists, Daoists, and Barbarians all had many rising stars. But all the experts who entered the Saint level were very proud and hard to manage.
If they were too strict, they wouldn't accept it. If they were too lax, they wouldn't be able to be restrained. Lu Jiuyuan and the others deeply admired Shi Potian's leadership ability.
However, this only deepened the worries of the few of them. Once Gao Zhengyang made a move, his enemy wouldn't just be Shi Potian, but the entire Tianyue City, including the billions of soldiers and civilians.
Lu Jiuyuan turned to Gao Zhengyang and said, "Chairman, you said that Potian killed Yue Qingyu and Shi Han, do you have evidence?"
"No." Gao Zhengyang's answer was very straightforward.
Lu Jiuyuan's expression relaxed, "Chairman, you can't casually convict people without evidence for such a big matter. I know Qingxue has always had her opinion on this, but you can't be blinded by personal feelings, right? "
At the end of his words, Lu Jiuyuan asked Yue Qingxue a question.
Yue Qingxue said coldly, "It was done by Shi Potian."
Lu Jiuyuan also felt a bit of a headache. This Yue Qingxue was so stubborn, no wonder Gao Zhengyang became hostile the moment they met. So this was the root cause. They didn't expect Yue Qingxue to have such a great influence on Gao Zhengyang. Not being able to pacify Yue Qingxue was also a mistake.
Yue Qingxue's attitude was really unreasonable. Lu Jiuyuan also didn't know what to do. He gave Xiong Ba a look, indicating that it was time for him to speak.
If he had a choice, Xiong Ba didn't want to get involved in this matter. In any case, it was the internal strife of the human race, let Gao Zhengyang and Shi Potian fight it out. The current situation was that they had to rely on Shi Potian to block the demons. If Gao Zhengyang wanted to touch Shi Potian, it was completely against the interests of the barbarians.
There was no other way, Xiong Ba couldn't just watch the show, he could only stand out and try to mediate, "Zhengyang, if it's because of this matter, I think we can take our time to think about it. Qingyu and Shi Han are both good children, they sacrificed themselves to resist the demons. Regardless of whether there's anything else involved, at least the two of them are wholeheartedly focused on killing the demons! "
Xiong Ba paused, then said, "Zhengyang, if you make a move today, the Supreme Security Council will immediately fall apart. Both the human race and the barbarians may be destroyed because of this. Qingyu and Shi Han also won't be willing for you to do this. "
Lu Jiuyuan also took the opportunity to say, "The dead can't come back to life. The living are more important. Chairman, all the people of the world have placed their hopes on you. For the sake of the big picture, let's put our personal grudges aside. "
Gao Zhengyang didn't speak, his eyes gazed at the blue sky in the distance, no one knew what he was thinking.
Xiong Ba always felt that Gao Zhengyang didn't listen to them at all, he was a little embarrassed and a little helpless. He glanced at Wu Xiang, indicating that it was time for him to say a few words.
Gao Zhengyang could ignore other people's words, but Wu Xiang was his martial uncle, he was indebted to him for cultivating him. When Wu Xiang spoke, Gao Zhengyang had to give him some face no matter what.
Old monk Wu Xiang shook his head, he had already spoken to Gao Zhengyang, there was no need to say any more nonsense now. Gao Zhengyang had already made up his mind, no one could stop him.
Xiong Ba cursed in his heart, this old baldy was too cunning. At this time, he only knew how to play dumb. He could only say to Bai Xinyuan, "Heart monkey, what are you standing there for, come, don't meddle in this matter."
Xiong Ba's thoughts were very good, if he couldn't persuade Gao Zhengyang, he would take Bai Xinyuan away. The barbarians wouldn't meddle in the messy matters of their human race. He wanted to see what Gao Zhengyang could do with the red sun and Yue Qingxue!
"I support Chairman." Bai Xinyuan didn't move, he replied to Xiong Ba.
Xiong Ba was really unhappy, he said to Bai Xinyuan with a dark face, "What does this matter have to do with you, is it something you can meddle in? Don't mess around, come over. "
Bai Xinyuan said seriously, "Uncle Xiong, don't meddle in this matter."
Xiong Ba was extremely domineering, this Bai Xinyuan was also unyielding, he didn't even listen to his words!
He was so angry that he laughed instead, "Fine, fine, do what you want!"
Xiong Ba could let go, but Lu Jiuyuan didn't want to give up, even if there was a trace of hope, he was willing to try.
He used his divine sense to say to Gao Zhengyang, "Zhengyang, let me ask you, even if you kill Shi Potian, what can you do? Can Yue Qingyu and Shi Han revive? On the contrary, your battle with Shi Potian will definitely split the human race. "
Lu Jiuyuan thought for a moment, then said, "I know you are very strong, but in the laws of the human realm, Shi Potian, who holds the Tianyue Token, holds the strongest power in the human realm. Forgive me for speaking bluntly, if you fight with him, the outcome is hard to predict. Not to mention losing, even if you win, Tianyue will be destroyed. "
Lu Jiuyuan asked seriously, "Billions of humans or two lost lives, which is more important?"
Gao Zhengyang looked deeply at Lu Jiuyuan, "In my heart, of course Qingyu and Shi Han are more important."
"You,"
Gao Zhengyang's words made Lu Jiuyuan choke to death, he was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
Gao Zhengyang laughed instead, "Elder Lu, why are you angry, I am just speaking the truth. Qingyu and Shi Han are so fresh in my memory, they are a part of my life. Billions of humans, they have nothing to do with me. Their existence is like the clouds in the sky, the water in the sea, to me, they have no influence, no relationship, they are meaningless. "
Lu Jiuyuan took a deep breath, then asked sternly, "Since humans are meaningless to you, what are you still doing here?"
"It's not that everyone is useless. Qingxue, Hong Ri, Yu Qing, Martial Uncle, Xiong Ba, Elder Lu, and even Shi Potian, they are all meaningful to me. "
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "In our cultivation, the higher we go, the narrower the path becomes. The higher we go, the fewer companions there are. On this path, everyone is a loner. When you reach my level, you will understand that other than me, everything else is fabricated. Only I am the truth, only I am the Dao. "
Lu Jiuyuan also calmed down now, he found that Gao Zhengyang was not crazy, nor was he cold-blooded. He was just calmly explaining the Dao he had comprehended.
This Dao might not be correct, but this was Gao Zhengyang's Dao, he firmly believed in it.
Gao Zhengyang continued, "Elder Lu, what you see and think, the foundation is above 'me'. Love and hate, joy and anger, life and death, they all come from me. If it weren't for me, everything in the universe would have nothing to do with me. "
Lu Jiuyuan was thoughtful, he felt that what Gao Zhengyang said made sense, but also seemed to be evil.
Gao Zhengyang saw Lu Jiuyuan's confusion, "To reach the Dao, you must first understand yourself. Elder Lu, why do you want to protect the human race? This is a kind of emotion for your own race. But this kind of emotion, in essence, is only because a strong race is beneficial to you, so you want the race to be strong. In essence, it is because of self-interest. "
Lu Jiuyuan retorted, "What you said is wrong. There is a lot of selfless love in the world, parents to children, lovers, even friends, they can give up their lives for each other, without fear. "
"Sacrificing oneself for others is indeed very noble. But this choice is not out of self-interest. Everything is because I want it, that's all. Just like how evil people do evil, it is also because they want it. Good people do good, it is also because they want it. "
Gao Zhengyang said indifferently, "In terms of human morality, good people are naturally noble, evil people are despicable. But in terms of thinking, they all come from me, there is no superiority or inferiority. "
Lu Jiuyuan didn't want to defend himself, Gao Zhengyang's thinking could not be so simple to distinguish right from wrong. He also couldn't convince Gao Zhengyang.
He said angrily, "So, because you are happy, you insist on killing Shi Potian, regardless of the lives of countless humans!"
"Elder Lu's understanding is a bit biased, but it is not wrong."
Gao Zhengyang said loudly, "At the end of the day, killing Shi Potian is only because I am happy, he must die whether he is guilty or not, that's all."
Gao Zhengyang said this directly, everyone on the observation platform heard it clearly. Everyone was in an uproar.
Gao Zhengyang's words were so arrogant, he didn't put others in his eyes at all.
"Gao Zhengyang, is there anyone else in your eyes? Is there justice in your eyes? "Feng Ling was the first one who couldn't take it anymore, she asked loudly.
Feng Ling originally had some respect for Gao Zhengyang, but she was too angry. His words were powerful and resonant. Although the others didn't dare to be like her, they all felt very happy after hearing it.
Gao Zhengyang smiled at Feng Ling, "Sorry, I really don't care about these things."
Feng Ling didn't think there would be such an arrogant person in the world, she was so angry she was about to explode. She activated the Wind Accompanying Sword, wanting to make a move.
The others were also furious. Their emotions were like boiling hot water, boiling and surging, and all of them had expressions of anger on their faces.
Even a Divine Level Expert like Tyrant Bear couldn't help but frown. He didn't find it strange that Gao Zhengyang thought like this, but saying it publicly was too crazy.
With just these two sentences, Gao Zhengyang lost the support of the people. He didn't understand what Gao Zhengyang was doing, but Shi Potian was obviously very happy.
Shi Potian was indeed very happy, Gao Zhengyang's sudden madness made those who were originally hesitant to stand on his side.
However, Shi Potian was very calm, he didn't say anything. It was easy to make a mistake if he spoke at this time. He just listened to Gao Zhengyang!
Gao Zhengyang turned a blind eye to the others' anger, he turned to Hong Ri, Yue Qingxue, and Bai Xinyuan, saying, "I am the supreme way, if I understand this, I can almost reach the thirteenth step."
Hong Ri and Yue Qingxue were a little confused, although they were Divine Level Experts, they still couldn't understand these words. But Bai Xinyuan's eyes lit up, as if he had understood something.
Gao Zhengyang turned to Shi Potian, saying, "The people's hearts are all on you, are you very proud now?"
Shi Potian shook his head, "I racked my brains, bled and sweated, I am willing to sacrifice everything for the human race. How can a selfish madman like you understand the benevolence and righteousness of our generation! "
"Awe-Inspiring righteousness, well said."
Gao Zhengyang clapped his hands, applauding Shi Potian.
Shi Potian didn't know what Gao Zhengyang was up to, he didn't dare to speak casually, he just looked at him cautiously, in case Gao Zhengyang suddenly made things difficult for him.
Gao Zhengyang suddenly said to Lu Jiuyuan, "Elder Lu, do you think it's worth it to use one person's life in exchange for billions of demons?"
Lu Jiuyuan said without hesitation, "Of course it's worth it!"
Gao Zhengyang asked Shi Potian again, "You are willing to sacrifice for the human race, then, are you willing to use your life in exchange for billions of demons?"
Shi Potian hesitated, he felt that there was a trap in Gao Zhengyang's words. But he had just boasted in front of everyone, he couldn't slap his own face this time.
He said sternly, "If sacrificing myself can destroy billions of demons, I will sacrifice myself without hesitation!"
"Good man!" Gao Zhengyang gave him a thumbs up and praised him.
Gao Zhengyang then said, "With my identity, with my status, killing you is thinking too highly of you. Since you are willing to sacrifice for the human race, I will give you a chance. "
Gao Zhengyang paused here. He looked around at the people around him and said slowly, "You kill yourself now, and I'll destroy the billions of demon army on the other side."
Shi Potian was a bit confused, what was this? He thought for a moment, then immediately sneered, "I am not afraid of sacrifice, but if I die and you can't destroy the demon army, wouldn't that be a joke?"
"Okay, we can clap hands and make an oath." Gao Zhengyang said, "As long as you are willing to use your life in exchange for the demon army, I can destroy the demon army first!"
