Boom!
The bone whip fell, but the divine light continued to flash. Ye Qinghan was holding onto the little white cloud by a thread, and it returned to Ye Qinghan's hand.
"Do you still want to hold on? The bone whip is no threat to me, at least not here. Even if you fight to the death, the result will be the same. "Ye Qinghan stepped not too far away from Qian Yixue and spoke calmly.
Qian Yixue took a deep breath and looked at the bone whip in the distance. She knew that if she fought again, the result would be the same. This place was not suitable for her to fight, and she had no idea what the little white cloud was. This godly item's sudden appearance had disrupted her plans.
Qian Yixue stared at the little white cloud wrapped around Ye Qinghan's right wrist and said unwillingly, "I admit defeat, but you must tell me where this thing came from."
Ye Qinghan shrugged and replied calmly, "I found this thing in the primal universe's primordial chaos. At the time, it was entangled by a primordial black hole. I discovered it by accident and rescued it. I didn't expect it to have its own consciousness, but it cannot communicate with me, so I don't know what it is. Perhaps it is a second ball of ruler's energy, or perhaps it is something else."
"You don't know?" Qian Yixue looked at Ye Qinghan in shock. She did not expect to lose to an unknown thing.
Ye Qinghan nodded seriously and said calmly, "I thought the Sage would know about it. It seems that I overestimated you and underestimated the primal universe."
Phew …
Qian Yixue exhaled. She was a Sage, and an old one at that, so she knew the difference between a Sage and a legendary ruler. It was the difference between heaven and earth. It was incomparable and immeasurable.
A ruler ruled over everything. Once he appeared, everything in the world would pale in comparison. He was the master of the primal universe, and all laws of order would have to listen to him. A ruler could create new laws of order, so a second ruler could not be born.
There were too many unknown things between a ruler and a Sage. There were many things that the Sage did not know about. Now, a strange substance had appeared.
Qian Yixue took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I … admit defeat."
Admitting defeat meant becoming a slave. A Sage becoming a slave. This was the first time in all of history.
Ye Qinghan smiled and raised the chin of the first female Sage in all of history. He said calmly, "Qian Yixue, I did not intend to be enemies with you. I purely wanted to break through to the ruler realm and revive some people who should not die. However, you took the initiative to oppose me, so don't blame me for not being courteous..."
"If you're willing to bet, then you must accept your loss. If you want to be a slave, then so be it!"
Ye Qinghan smiled faintly and said, "This is not the attitude of a slave."
Qian Yixue, she was unwilling to say anything.
Ye Qinghan looked at Qian Yixue's expression and thought for a moment. He put down his finger and said, "Sage Qian Yi, you are a Sage and a senior. I know that I am not qualified to be your master, and I have never thought of becoming your master. I just want … to be friends with you. At least, we are not enemies. If there is a day when other Sages attack me, if you do not help me, at least do not attack me. So, let's pretend that today's bet never happened. How about it?"
"You …"
Qian Yixue looked at Ye Qinghan in shock. She did not expect him to give up a slave like her. She was a Sage and a peerlessly beautiful woman. Wasn't this what all men wanted?
"Yes, your strength is a great help, and you can help me at critical moments. Your beauty is also unparalleled in the world, and any man would be moved by it. The feeling of being conquered is unparalleled. However, you're a sage, and you shouldn't be humiliated, nor should you be a slave. If I were to do that, I'd really be cutting off my path to becoming a sage. I'm not as short-sighted as others. I'm just me, and my goal isn't just to become a sage, nor is it to be above a sage, but to dominate everything. As such, my state of mind is definitely not what you think it is," Ye Qinghan said plainly.
Qian Yixue looked at Ye Qinghan's calm face and her Dao heart was in a mess. How many years had it been since she had interacted with someone of the same generation? She seemed to have forgotten that she had always lived in her own world and did not communicate with outsiders. However, when she heard Ye Qinghan's words, she realized that there really was a problem with her state of mind.
"Allow me to say something sincerely. You are not qualified to be called Sages. If you have time, take a look at the Sages of the third planet. They are the real Sages. During the Battle of the Sages in the Primordial Era, there were many Sages in the secondary universe, right? According to my understanding of the third planet, there are not many Sages. Counting the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, other than these eight and two or three legendary figures, they only have ten Sages. How many secondary universes are there? There should be no less than twenty Sages. Did you win? No! And you lost miserably. Why? Because you know too little about the state of mind of the Sages. "Ye Qinghan said quietly.
"Everyone says that the merit of the Sages is not just for your people, but for the entire common people and the Primal Universe. The Sages of your secondary universe are too short-sighted, terrifyingly short-sighted …" Ye Qinghan slowly retreated, turned around, pulled out his sword, and picked up the bone whip before throwing it to Qian Yixue.
"What you should be comprehending now is not the profound meaning of the mystic techniques or the so-called Sages' laws, but human nature and common people. We are all humans. No matter how strong our cultivation is, we cannot break away from human nature. When you understand the importance of human nature and common people, you can tell me that you are Sages." Ye Qinghan said faintly, "Take your bone whip and leave. I hope that the next time we meet, we will not be enemies, but fellow Daoists."
Hu …
Qian Yixue's eyes were filled with complex emotions. No one had ever said the words Ye Qinghan had said to her all these years, and no one had dared to speak to her like that.
"Thank you," Qian Yixue said solemnly.
Ye Qinghan looked straight at Qian Yixue and said with a smile, "You are welcome. You were born noble, but I … am like an ant. I climbed hundreds of stairs, and every step I took was firm and solid. That is why I understand the thoughts of people at every level. If you don't find it troublesome, you can give up your arrogance and climb up from the lowest level of mortals. Make every step more solid, and you will discover that life really is different from what you think it is."
"Of course, you can also choose to be my enemy, but I have always only given people one chance. If you cherish it, you are my friend. If you don't, you are my enemy. I don't care if I have one or two more enemies. In the short term, the other Sages won't dare to make a move. Ten thousand years later, even if they join forces, they won't be able to do anything to me." Ye Qinghan turned and left, leaving behind a final sentence. "Nine Sages. If nothing unexpected happens, I will only take three lives. If the six of you don't cherish it, I don't think any of you nine Sages will survive."
"The position of ruler is mine. Even if I can't do it, it will be the people of Kuang Fu who can reach that step."
Whoosh!
Whoosh — — —
Ye Qinghan's figure flashed and gradually disappeared from Qian Yixue's sight.
A good deed was a path. If Ye Qinghan forcefully enslaved Qian Yixue today, she might betray him at a critical moment out of hatred. Both sides would suffer, and in the end, they would both die. Rather than not being able to control her, it was better to let her go. She might be of great use in the future!
Ye Qinghan's every step was meticulous.
