"No … no."
Ye Tianze finally regained his senses. She gripped her saber, her robes fluttering in the wind. She didn't look defeated at all.
This saber strike had killed nine Divine Descendants of the Heavenly Dao. She didn't have any cultivation, but the spirit of this saber strike pierced through the heavens.
"Then why haven't you cleaned up yet?" She turned around and smiled. The old man had disappeared, leaving behind a young, beautiful, and adorable woman.
Looking at her face, Ye Tianze thought that this should be her appearance in the past, and also her most beautiful appearance.
But at this moment, he thought of something. She didn't have any cultivation, but she erupted with a saber strike that pierced through the heavens. Even her appearance seemed to have returned to youth.
"This is … the final radiance of the setting sun!" Thinking of this, Ye Tianze wasn't in the mood to clean up.
"Shan Haiqing!" In the distance, Sikong Long, who had lost half of his body, looked at the woman in front of him with fear in his eyes.
But he quickly recovered and said, "You don't have any cultivation. You only used a single breath to activate the Mountain Sea Battle Aura. You should be an arrow at the end of its flight."
Shan Haiqing didn't frown. She smiled and said, "Little child, there aren't many people in this world who still remember me. You Divine Descendants have a good eye, but … even if I only have half a breath left, it's enough to kill you."
Sure enough, Sikong Long didn't step forward, but his World of Laws enveloped this area. Only the small hut and Shan Haiqing were not included.
But as Sikong Long's body continued to recover, the Law of Light gradually nibbled away at the small hut. It wasn't fast, but considering the small hut, it wasn't slow either.
"Why are you still dilly-dallying? I told you to clean up," Shan Haiqing said without turning her head.
"Sorry, I'm not used to standing behind a woman and letting a woman block a saber strike for me." Ye Tianze calmly walked out. "I'm a guest. Shouldn't you be the one to clean up?"
Shan Haiqing was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said, "Do you know? If I was young, I would have killed you. Who in this world would dare to treat a woman of the Shanhai Clan as a woman? "
"I don't mean any harm, but … you should rest!" Ye Tianze said calmly.
"You have no chance of winning against him." Shan Haiqing said, "Your cultivation is still too weak. Even if he is seriously injured, you are still not his match."
Ye Tianze did not argue with her. With a flash of light in his hand, he summoned the Immemorial Umbrella and said loudly, "Your voice is very familiar. The one who fought with me before was you, right?"
Sikong Long smiled and said, "That's right. It's my honor that you still remember my voice. We've been searching for you for half a year, but we still found you. Those guys are really stubborn."
"Those guys?" Ye Tianze frowned.
"Those guys who fled with you." Sikong Long said, "Don't you remember them?"
Ye Tianze's expression changed slightly. At this moment, Shan Haiqing turned her head and said, "They have completed their mission. Please let me complete mine."
Ye Tianze, who was about to attack, held the Immemorial Umbrella in his hand and trembled.
He thought of the black robe that took him away. He thought of the old man and Tie Li who loved to drink.
"They waited their whole lives to bring you here." Shan Haiqing said, "They were loyal to their faith and never betrayed it."
"How could that be?" Ye Tianze did not believe it.
"You underestimated the power of the Civilization Conference. Even though they spent so much effort and made so many changes, we still found them in the end."
Sikong Long said, "This indeed wasted a lot of our time."
"But they lost their lives!" Ye Tianze replied.
"They reaped what they sowed." Sikong Long said, "Why do you take it to heart? To you, death is a very common thing."
Ye Tianze had never thought of death as a very common thing. He might not have spent much time with these people, but what he saw was a lively life.
Even though they seemed to be struggling in the heavens and looked insignificant, they were the most real. It was also because of this that he experienced the "importance of life".
"They did not know me. Why did they do this?" Ye Tianze asked.
"Because they are willing. Because they firmly believe in their beliefs. Because …" Shan Haiqing turned around and said, "Because that is their Nirvana. It's not immortality, it's not being the strongest in the world. It's just living in this world with dignity!"
"Dignity!" Ye Tianze had long been indifferent to this word.
This was because dignity was fought for with strength. People without strength were not worthy of talking about dignity.
"What a joke. Are ants worthy of dignity?" Sikong Long sneered.
Shan Haiqing raised her head and looked at Sikong Long. She was not angry. She calmly replied, "When the Law of Primal Chaos existed, they had dignity. Even ants have the chance to become eagles. This law is not perfect, but it protects most of the weak!"
"But unfortunately, they are all silent now." Sikong Long said sarcastically, "Those guys are all abnormal. They are only a minority. There are even some who are not silent. They are helping us destroy the only law and order that can give them dignity."
Shan Haiqing did not say anything. She knew that Sikong Long was telling the truth.
The original purpose of the first Nirvana Lord establishing the Law of Primal Chaos was to protect the weak. Although there was no absolute fairness in the law, people would not be bullied by others.
However, most people would not be bullied so easily under the laws. They had the opportunity to cultivate and grow from ants to goshawks.
But perhaps it was because they had been in peace for too long that they had forgotten how difficult it was to achieve what they had now.
"Maybe they will only awaken when chaos descends. Maybe they will only awaken when the Death Plague breaks out."
Shan Haiqing said, "They will realize that the law that can truly protect them has disappeared. What replaced it is … their dignity that has been destroyed. They will return to being ants and trembling in fear. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in this world."
"Then why are you still so insistent? Why don't you let the Death Plague break out!" Sikong Long said.
"It is because most of them are silent that they have to stand up!"
Shan Haiqing raised her head. She raised the sword in her hand and pointed it at Sikong Long, "If there is no light in this world, then I will stand up and become this light. Even if this light is just a weak and insignificant star, if it can bring a trace of warmth to this world, we will have no regrets!"
As Shan Haiqing spoke, it was as if Ye Tianze could see the black-robed man who had taken him away, the old man, Tie Li, and the Dragon Tribe cultivator on her.
He saw the old woman who stood up to stop Jiang Yunhu when he and Qin Dudu were in despair and called herself an ant.
