Ye Tianze really wanted to cut ties with Jiufeng, but she was a part of him in his previous life. It was impossible to cut ties with her.
Thinking back, before the human race was established, he experienced countless hardships as he grew up. Jiufeng was one of those hardships.
No one knew that the famous Taiyi was once Jiufeng's prisoner. He didn't understand why Jiufeng didn't kill him.
However, he did learn a lot from Jiufeng. Jiufeng had always treated him like a slave.
At that time, the Wu people looked at the human race like they were ants.
When the Wu people discovered his existence, they only ordered Jiufeng to kill him. However, Jiufeng took him away from the Wu people.
It wasn't until that moment that he realized that Jiufeng had feelings for him. However, Taiyi knew that there would be a war between the two races in the future.
Moreover, he didn't like Jiufeng. From Taiyi's point of view, he couldn't like every girl in the world who liked him.
Moreover, he was already the emperor of the human race. He had a large group of brothers who were willing to risk their lives for him.
In the Battle of Muye, the human race defeated the alien army. That was the first victory for the human race.
When he decided to pursue the Wu people, Jiufeng was the first to stand in his way. She hoped that Taiyi wouldn't kill them all.
However, Taiyi knew that he was the emperor of a generation. He was no longer the young man he used to be.
Whether the human race could establish itself depended on this. Only by pursuing and killing the Wu people could the human race gain a foothold in the future.
Ye Tianze hesitated for a moment. He didn't persuade Jiufeng. Instead, he suppressed her and led the army to pursue the remnants of the Wu people.
Reality proved that Taiyi's hesitation had saved most of the Wu people who had been defeated in the Battle of Muye.
In the subsequent battles, the human race paid an even greater price to deal with the Wu people who had been spared because of his benevolence.
Later on, he let Jiu Feng go because he owed Jiu Feng a life.
"Do you still remember how many of my Vulcan Legion's warriors you killed?"
Taiyi said with a cold face. "If I hadn't let you go back to the Wu people, perhaps the Vulcan Legion wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!"
"Your human army invaded the Wu people. Don't tell me you won't allow the Wu people to resist?"
Nine Phoenix roared, "The Wu people have already shown mercy and given you a chance to establish a human race, but you're too greedy!"
"That's right. We either don't want it, or we want it all."
Taiyi said, "Besides, the land where the Human Race was founded was snatched from the hands of the Wu people and the Demon Race. Otherwise, we would have been your food and slaves forever. Besides, did we really invade the Wu people? Or is it that the Wu people feel that the human race is a threat to the rule of the Wu people, so you don't put the human race in your eyes at all and allied with the other four races to invade us? "
"That was our land to begin with!" Nine Phoenix said.
"What we snatched is our land!" Taiyi replied coldly.
"You're so cold-blooded!" Nine Phoenix roared.
Taiyi replied, "The Eldritch Continent is like a chessboard, but to be the ruler of a race, it's not as simple as being the ruler of a race. Most rulers are only fit to place their pieces on the chessboard. When it comes to the chessboard, they're just a bunch of soft-hearted idiots!"
"I'm the emperor of the human race. Every time I place a piece, it concerns the lives of hundreds of thousands of human warriors. When we fight against the alien races, it's either you die or I die!" Taiyi said.
Nine Phoenix suddenly fell silent.
"The Wu people treat the Human Race as food for ants and dream of ruling for generations to come. You've never thought that the Human Race is also a member of the Eldritch Continent," Taiyi said.
"To be a true ruler, to be the emperor of the Human Race, you have to be cruel not only to yourself, but also to your enemies. And you … have always been my enemy!"
Perhaps it was because his memories were too vast, but when Ye Tianze recalled what Taiyi had said, his heart trembled.
He thought he was decisive enough to kill, but compared to Taiyi's callousness, he realized that he was like a newborn child with many fantasies.
To be the emperor of the Human Race, to become a ruler, one had to be ruthless enough to place their pieces. If you weren't ruthless enough, your enemies would be even more ruthless.
And in the end, the only people you hurt were the people you wanted to protect.
The Battle of Muye had taught Taiyi what a ruler should do. From then on, he could no longer be merciful.
Even if the world didn't understand, he had to guard the callousness in his heart.
Suddenly, Ye Tianze thought back to the battle outside Tiannan City against the Yao. At the time, he'd found it hard to understand Taiyi's callousness.
But at this moment, he seemed to understand. He said, "If you don't dare to do it, I'll do it for you."
His words weren't just for Jiufeng, but also for him. How could one not have regrets in life? But even if there were many regrets, since he had chosen this path, he had to go forward with indomitable will.
"So … you heartlessly stabbed me with your sword?" Jiufeng's gaze was somewhat sorrowful.
"I've let down too many people in my life, but I won't let down more people!" Taiyi said.
"Hahaha … I'm so stupid … I should have understood long ago … but … I still waited for 50,000 years …"
Jiufeng suddenly laughed maniacally. "Then let me see how much you've improved after so many years!"
The entire Ancestral Magi Palace suddenly erupted with a majestic origin power. All the murals seemed to have awakened in an instant and gathered into one.
Jiufeng, who had transformed into a nine-headed monster with a human body, attacked Ye Tianze's consciousness. At that moment, Ye Tianze felt as if he was trapped in a cage and couldn't extricate himself.
He couldn't even think. As an ancient Magus, Jiufeng's strength was evident.
However, Taiyi didn't even wait for him to hesitate. He had already made his move. He condensed the Heavenly Spear and stabbed it out.
Pop!
The two huge consciousnesses converged like two torrents colliding. However, the torrent representing Jiufeng was instantly destroyed.
The entire Ancestral Magi Palace was on the verge of collapse. Jiufeng's will was instantly defeated. Taiyi was as cold as a piece of arctic ice. He didn't waver at all.
He raised his hand and condensed a huge whirlpool. Jiufeng's scattered consciousness was sucked into the whirlpool in the Ancestral Magi Palace.
After those consciousnesses entered the whirlpool, they turned into the purest origin power. Jiufeng's consciousness was also wiped out when it entered the whirlpool.
"What are you waiting for? Why don't you absorb it with all your might? Back then, I only learned a little about the Art of Transformation from her. This time, I can get all of her inheritance," Taiyi said.
"By the time King Wu realizes what's going on, I'm afraid he won't even be able to get a little of it!"
Such coldness made Ye Tianze's consciousness tremble inexplicably. However, he still started to absorb according to Taiyi's instructions.
