Capítulo 1855: Chapter 1856: Above Heaven and Earth

Su Chengyu let out a long breath, trying to remain as calm as possible. He didn’t want his current words to become a demon in his heart in the future.

“I won’t deny the past achievements of Empress Nuwa, and of course, I have no right to judge them. But times have changed. Now that the Great Catastrophe of Heaven and Earth is imminent, where is Empress Nuwa? What has she done?”

“That’s because you don’t know!”

“Perhaps, but from what I see, the arrangements left by Empress Nuwa show no hint of favoritism or intent to aid humanity.”

“So what if she doesn’t help? Does the Great Emperor owe you anything? Young human, do you understand the saying about the snake swallowing the elephant with an insatiable heart?”

The White Tiger was exceptionally agitated, clearly unable to accept Su Chengyu’s words at this moment.

“Of course, I understand. So even if Empress Nuwa does nothing, we probably have no grounds to blame her.”

“If you understand, why do you direct your accusations at the Great Emperor?”

Su Chengyu’s concession made the White Tiger’s reaction even more intense. From its perspective, since Su Chengyu understood these things, how could he still utter such blasphemous words?

Su Chengyu, who had figured everything out long before arriving here, remained very calm. He gently held the Dragon Slayer Sword and said calmly,

“Indeed, even if Empress Nuwa does nothing, we have no right to demand anything. But Empress Nuwa needs humanity to persist to stabilize her path. With so many signs, don’t I even have the right to suspect that the Great Emperor has ulterior motives?”

“Presumptuous! What right do you have? Even if Empress Nuwa has other plans, what does that have to do with you?”

Su Chengyu smiled subtly, hitting the crucial point of the issue.

“Logically, it should be irrelevant, but what if Empress Nuwa’s choice is to use us as stepping stones and sacrifices?”

“Nonsense! What evidence do you have!”

“I don’t. But you, to fulfill Empress Nuwa’s task, can choose to abandon the Origin Realm and countless humans. What makes you dare say that Empress Nuwa wouldn’t make such decisions for her own path?”

Su Chengyu’s unapologetic statement left the White Tiger speechless. Looking at the composed Su Chengyu before it, it didn’t know how to continue questioning and could only stubbornly retort,

“You are truly desecrating the gods!”

“Yes, they are the lofty gods, controlling everything in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, easily deciding life and death. But are we just to be left at their mercy, without even the right to doubt? I, Su Chengyu, swear here!”

“I doubt the gods now, and I will question them in the future. If that day ever comes, I will even ascend to the Nine Heavens to ask them what the lives of all living beings in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds mean to them!”

“You…”

The White Tiger, hearing Su Chengyu’s bold words, was utterly stunned. It looked at the person before it, not knowing if he was arrogant or a complete madman.

Just at the Hollow Vacuum, he didn’t even have the qualifications to touch Heaven’s Gate. It didn’t understand where this person got the confidence to say such things.

Seeing the lack of understanding in the White Tiger’s eyes, Su Chengyu merely smiled serenely.

“Senior White Tiger, some things have nothing to do with realm, but with one’s true heart. Don’t you know better than I do, being treated as if life is as cheap as grass, manipulated as a pawn by those lofty Immortal Emperors? But you wouldn’t say such words, nor have such aspirations; in this life and this world, that will never change. This is our fundamental difference. I don’t seek your understanding, I just hope you understand. I am merely one of the common people in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, looking to survive.”

“It is this world that is unkind.”

As his words fell, heaven and earth resonated. Su Chengyu keenly felt the surrounding Power of the Heavenly Dao becoming agitated, growing extremely uneasy due to the weight of his words.

Feeling the repulsion of the Heavenly Dao Breath from the outside, Su Chengyu dared not be careless, enveloping all the Heavenly Dao Breath around him, then using the Thunder Resistant Body to protect his Origin, only hoping nothing unpredictable would occur.

Fortunately, this time, as before, when feeling the invasion of various Heavenly Dao Breaths from the outside, the Heavenly Dao Breath within Su Chengyu also ceased internal conflict, working together to fully resist these Heavenly Dao Breaths’ influence on Su Chengyu.

The White Tiger Immortal Core observed all this, squinting slightly as it spoke,

“I see, mastering multiple Heavenly Dao Breaths simultaneously. No wonder you’re able to grasp the means of the Mountain and Sea Scroll at the Hollow Void Realm.”

“It seems Senior Vermilion Bird mentioned quite a bit to you.”

“You will eventually face off against me. I’d have determined these things sooner or later. Besides…”

“You already noticed and used the Heavenly Dao Breath to influence my reflection at the last moment, making me think this place is the core, correct?”

The White Tiger, hearing this, gave a bitter smile, “As Vermilion Bird said, indeed, such means can’t deceive you.”

Denying it was meaningless. Su Chengyu, saying these things now, was already doing so not out of suspicion but certainty.

And having received this confirmation, Su Chengyu didn’t show any satisfaction and continued, “I also know that besides this, you likely have other plans, like… those few people who went to the westernmost part of the tribe after I entered the Thunder Pond.”

The White Tiger’s expression tightened, and the air between heaven and earth instantly became a bit more solid, a sign of the White Tiger Immortal Core gathering power, preparing to act.

Seeing this, Su Chengyu continued, “No need to be so tense, Senior. I have no intention of acting against those people. I’m merely curious about what you’re having them do. But just a few Golden Core Realm, I really can’t fathom how they intend to change this battle’s tide.”

The White Tiger exhaled deeply before finally saying, “In truth, telling you doesn’t matter. They’re not the final means I left behind. Sending them there was merely out of my selfish desire to seek a way of survival for them.”

“A way of survival?”

Su Chengyu was puzzled by the White Tiger’s words, asking in confusion.

“If I fall, I’ll go with you, at most having my consciousness erased and my power taken. But they…”

Su Chengyu realized, lightly laughing, “Senior, you’re overthinking.”

“Hmm?”

Su Chengyu raised his hand, swinging a sword to the side, sending a Sword Qi across the ground, completely demolishing a mud house.

This action made the White Tiger’s pupils shrink, realizing something, while Su Chengyu continued to speak,

“Your power comes from the faith the White Tiger Tribe has in you. After witnessing you lending power to those few cultivators from the White Tiger Tribe, I understood you two have a mutually beneficial coexistence. Indeed, Senior’s Thunder Pond caused me considerable trouble, but unfortunately, compared to defense, I’ve always been more skilled at offense. With the convenience brought by the Mountain and Sea Scroll, I know very well where the people of the White Tiger Tribe are hiding. If I wanted, I could easily eradicate them all.”

Each word reached the White Tiger’s ears, sending shivers down its spine. It truly didn’t expect Su Chengyu not only had this means but also predicted this.

“You let them off voluntarily?”

“I’ve said, no one’s life should be in others’ hands. They are indeed innocent. If I really did that, how would I differ from those lofty, so-called godly judges of others?”

“Idiot.”

The Vermilion Bird Immortal Core’s words came untimely, and with a thought, Su Chengyu completely severed the connection between the Vermilion Bird Immortal Core within the Dragon Slayer Sword and this place.

The White Tiger Immortal Core shook its head with a wry smile, while Su Chengyu asked rhetorically.

“Do you think the same, Senior?”

The White Tiger denied, saying, “No. Perhaps what it said isn’t wrong. But I believe the world has become this way precisely because there are too many so-called clever people and too few ‘idiots’ like you.”
