Lumen didn't understand why Tower Leader Gongsun was so angry. They were in the same boat. How could he not know what was on Tower Leader Gongsun's mind?
"Keep pretending. Keep pretending. Not to mention that the Gongsun family has one of the best territories in the Dragon Taming Realm, even you, Gongsun Hong, are on the mountain, not paying attention to the outside world and only focusing on your own cultivation, aren't you? Now you care about your race? "
Lumen thought to himself, "Ridiculous."
But he didn't dare to say that. He was afraid that Gongsun Hong would do something to him. He couldn't take it.
After a moment of silence, Lumen said, "Besides, if we can't do it, we can compromise and surrender to the God Race."
"What did you say?"
Ye Tianze was worried. He didn't want to kill Lumen, but when he heard that, he was filled with murderous intent.
Lumen didn't feel it. He thought that he had exposed Ye Tianze's mask. Angered, Lumen said, "Fifty thousand years ago, sinner Tai Yi led the elites of the human race to fight the alien race at Mount Buzhou. The late Emperor Tai Xuan also compromised and signed the Treaty of Mount Buzhou to protect the human race."
Lumen said, "Let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about the recent past. Before Tai Ho ascended to the throne, the late Emperor also signed a treaty with the God Race. The Divine Emperor protected the human race for ten years. That's why His Majesty Tai Ho ascended to the throne. The human race only lost some land and resources. The alien race won't do anything to us because they never saw us as a threat."
Lumen wasn't embarrassed at all when he talked about the history. Instead, he looked proud as if it was something glorious.
"Only Ye Tianze would do that. The human race should have kept a low profile and watched the alien race fight. That was the best situation."
Lumen said, "But Ye Tianze had to do this at Mount Buzhou. He even defeated ten thousand Gold Armored Divine Race soldiers and allied with the Wu people. He thought that this would boost the prestige of the race, but in fact, it was a disaster for the race."
Hearing this, not to mention Ye Tianze, even Sun Qiqi had the urge to kill Lumen.
"Therefore, you think it's best that we don't go to the mountain, that it's best that we pay tribute to the non-humankind every year, that we bow to the non-humankind, and that we should always lower our heads in front of the non-humankind and beg them to spare our lives. That's the best, right?" asked Ye Tianze.
"That's only natural."
Lumen said, "After all, we humans were slaves 50,000 years ago. Although we have our own living place, it's because they showed mercy to us. Slaves can always bully their masters and compete with them. We're not qualified to do that, nor are we destined to do that."
Ye Tianze trembled with anger. This was the first time he'd been so angry since his rebirth.
He hadn't been this angry even when he'd just learned that he'd become a sinner. He hadn't been this angry even when he saw his faceless kneeling statue in Imperial Dragon City.
He'd always thought that the race he'd built up had only chosen to bide their time because their opponents were too strong.
But now, he realized that this wasn't the case. The Heavenly Dao Academy and the other major factions that controlled the best resources of the human race had never thought of fighting back.
From birth to thousands of years of cultivation, they'd stood at the peak of the world, but their waists were still bent. They'd never dared to look down on the non-humankind because they were invincible in their eyes. They were their masters, and they were their slaves!
After all, what was the human race? The weakest race in the world, a race that used to be slaves. How could a slave like you bully your master?
You only have a place to live because they pitied you. You should be grateful. How could you bully your master?
"Good, good, you're right!"
Ye Tianze clenched his fists and looked at Lumen.
Lumen didn't know what was going on and mistakenly thought that Ye Tianze had dropped his disguise. He smiled and said: "We're all in the same boat, so why are you pretending, Pagoda Master Gongsun? Once His Majesty falls, Ye Tianze will no longer be protected. At that time, he'll have to spit out everything he took. This brat must be captured alive and first tortured. Then, he'll be sent to the non-humankind as an apology! "
"Surnamed Lu, look at who I am!"
Ye Tianze opened the formation and slowly walked out.
Lumen wasn't surprised and calmly looked over. He then saw a familiar face that he couldn't remember at first.
However, after a while, he suddenly remembered where he'd seen this face before. His face immediately turned pale.
But he didn't panic. Instead, he looked behind Ye Tianze and said, "Pagoda Master Gongsun is truly amazing. He actually managed to capture that little brat. This saves us the trouble of making another trip. The Heavenly Dao Academy …"
"Bang!"
Without waiting for him to finish, Ye Tianze's figure flashed as a punch landed on his face. He did not use his full strength in this punch, or else that melon head of his would have been smashed into mush.
Even so, Lumen's teeth and his old face were smashed out of shape. He fell to the ground and twitched for a long time without being able to recover.
When he recovered, Ye Tianze stepped on his face, and said, "Gongsun Hong died a long time ago. I am the Tower Master of the Nine-Story Pagoda!"
"You!!!"
If it wasn't for Ye Tianze's foot on his face, Lumen wouldn't have believed it: "How can you be the Pagoda Master? With your cultivation, could it be that you killed Gongsun Hong?!!"
Lumen finally understood why "Gongsun Hong" was so angry after hearing his words.
So it wasn't because he was exposed, but because he was truly angry!
"Didn't you want to torture me?"
Ye Tianze raised his hand and the world came crashing down.
With a series of cracking sounds, all the bones in his body suddenly shattered, causing his face to contort in pain.
"Ye Tianze … You will die a horrible death, you little bastard. You won't succeed. Once the Emperor falls, no one will protect you. You will be like Taiyi, a sinner of the human race. No, you won't even have the right to have a kneeling statue!"
Lumen cursed, "You're just a clown!"
"Squeak!"
Ye Tianze stepped down and crushed Lumen's head. The world finally quieted down.
Sun Qiqi saw this and hurriedly comforted him: "He might not be telling the truth!"
"No, he's telling the truth."
Ye Tianze smiled bitterly: "But I can't accept it. How can I accept it? It wasn't easy for me to straighten my back. It wasn't easy for me to break the shackles. It wasn't easy for me to become a human being. How can I continue to lower my head?"
Sun Qiqi fell silent. Ye Tianze's burning gaze made her feel ashamed.
"If what he said is true, then … What should we do?" Sun Qiqi asked.
This was a dead end. No one could break out of this dead end unless Ye Tianze could become the Emperor right after the Emperor fell.
But Sun Qiqi knew that was impossible. It would take at least a year, at most ten years. Only the strongest person could become the Emperor after countless bloody battles.
Ye Tianze turned around. He didn't look dispirited or depressed at all. He said resolutely: "If God stands in my way, I will kill God. If Devil stands in my way, I will kill Devil."
