I am Xiao Sheng

Chapter 1480 Human Nature

Chapter 1460 Human Nature

"Death has arrived. Perhaps we were all wrong. All the talk of the destined one is false. In fact, it wasn't me, the so-called destined one, who started the final battle of the immeasurable calamity, but death itself. The God of Death is the one who started the final battle. Under this boundless aura of death, we will all face the same crisis: 'death erosion.' Chaos is now the last chance for survival for the weak!" Xiao Sheng quickly regained his senses, saw through the situation, and said these words.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng, what should we do? The barriers of the Primordial World have collapsed, and order is crumbling. When the very origin of the Primordial World is destroyed, we will all be in crisis!" Ancestral Witch Dijiang looked at Xiao Sheng with a grave expression. Although Xiao Sheng currently only has three people, his overall combat strength is the strongest. His Dao of Life is the most capable of withstanding any crisis, not to mention that the Dark King and the Ten Directions Daoist are also formidable! Of course, they also need Xiao Sheng's help now. After all, it's not easy for a small world to escape unscathed from the Primordial World; they have only propelled the world forward!
"Relying on others is not as good as relying on ourselves. Although Pangu has intervened, we cannot gamble. We must follow the Lesser Thousand Worlds and begin our retreat towards Chaos. At least we must ensure that the Lesser Thousand Worlds temporarily escape this crisis. Only in this way can we go all out and have no worries about the future. Let's go, don't hesitate! This is not our battlefield! We need to conserve our strength and prepare for any potential crises. We cannot waste our source energy!" With that, Xiao Sheng turned around and began to move towards the other side of the Primordial World, following far behind the newly created Lesser Thousand Worlds!

Although Xiao Sheng had some concerns about the human race, they had rejected his arrangements, so he had no reason to persuade them or help them anymore. It was all the human race's own choice, and they should bear all the consequences themselves!

Seeing this, the Dark King and the Ten Directions Daoist followed closely behind. If they didn't leave quickly, they feared they would be trapped by the terrifying aura of death and malevolent energy. Look at those who hadn't managed to escape; they were all in danger, struggling desperately to break free from the aura of death. But how long they could hold out was uncertain, as the killing continued and death was still unfolding. Therefore, the aura of death and malevolent energy was still intensifying wildly!
As the Ten Directions Daoist followed Xiao Sheng away, he turned around and unleashed a beam of light towards the human world. It was his final act of help to the human race, a spatial power. If the human race's powerful members were smart enough to flee desperately, they might have a chance to survive. That spatial power could offer them some protection!

No matter what benefits or plans were previously made in this area, they must be abandoned. They are all vulnerable in the face of that terrifying aura of death and malevolence. No one believes that their defenses are stronger than the barriers of the primordial world. So what should be given up must be given up, otherwise, only death awaits everyone.

The powerful figures of the human race are now filled with regret. They must make a choice: they did not bring all of the human race into the Lesser Thousand Worlds and left them in the Primordial World. The arrangements they made in the Primordial World have now become useless. All the formations and blessed lands must be abandoned!

"Let's go, don't hesitate, let's catch up quickly and get everyone back as fast as possible, we don't have much time left. Fellow Daoist Xiao Sheng has already started to leave, we can't delay any longer." Looking at the spatial power integrated into the defense of the human race's minor world, Emperor Fuxi sighed, a trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

Although this spatial power is very strong, it cannot withstand prolonged consumption. If the minor world cannot be transferred quickly, the defense of the human minor world will collapse under the erosion of the aura of death and bloodlust. Without the defense, the casualties of the human race will be unimaginable. Even with their protection, most of the people will fall!

"We're already speeding up, but it will still take a little more time. After all, we can't abandon those comrades who risked their lives for the human race. If we abandon them now, how can we explain it to the rest of the human race!" Emperor Xuanyuan's voice rang out, and there were quite a few human sages standing on his side. They couldn't abandon those comrades who fought for the human race.

Those humans who remained on the desolate land were preparing more resources for the human race in case of the worst-case scenario. If they were to abandon these companions now for their own safety, the human race's faith would be shattered.

Seeing the solemn expression on Emperor Xuanyuan's face, many sighed. Although they should be more decisive at this moment, and not let the entire human race be plunged into dire straits because the humans on the prehistoric land had not yet completed their retreat, they could not utter such words. Moreover, at this moment, these people also understood why the Ten Directions Daoist's spatial power had merged into the human race's minor world—it was to give them more time!
Of course, not all humans were grateful for Shifang Daoren's help. Some people cursed Xiao Sheng's ruthlessness in their hearts, feeling that Xiao Sheng, the Dark King, and Shifang Daoren should have stopped to help the human race. After all, Xiao Sheng was able to help the Twelve Ancestral Witches and open up a small world for them. Why couldn't he stop to help the human race get out of its current predicament?
This is human nature, this is the nature of humanity. It's understandable that some humans would have such thoughts, because intelligent beings are primarily self-centered. Therefore, these individuals feel that Xiao Sheng should help them, choosing to forget how humanity previously rejected Xiao Sheng's proposal. If humanity had accepted Xiao Sheng's offer and been willing to cooperate with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, there wouldn't be the current trouble, nor would there be such panic and anxiety. After all, the power of the Twelve Ancestral Witches is undeniable!
"The people's hearts are in turmoil. We need to set off quickly and make those people abandon the resources of the Primordial Land. We have no time!" Nuwa finally spoke. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors couldn't bring themselves to abandon the resources of the Primordial Land because they had to face the entire human race. But Nuwa had few such concerns. After all, she was the Holy Mother of humanity, and reality no longer allowed humanity to waste precious time and energy. Decisiveness was necessary; this was something they had to face!

"Alright, let them give up. The people's hearts are indeed in turmoil. If they don't return, I fear internal strife will erupt within the human race, and even we will be powerless to suppress it. After all, everyone has different thoughts and choices!" Emperor Fuxi nodded. His statement was echoed by Emperor Shennong, Emperor Xuanyuan, the Five Emperors, and a host of other human sages. As powerful figures of the human race, they naturally understood how dangerous it was for hearts to be in disarray. Once panic took hold, it would be uncontrollable. Sacrificing some resources was necessary for the human race. Only in this way could they quickly reorganize everything and begin catching up with Xiao Sheng and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, thus securing a glimmer of hope. Expecting the human race to withstand this sudden crisis on its own was unrealistic; the human race lacked the strength and could not accomplish all of this!
"My Lord, should we slow down a bit? Otherwise, the humans might have a hard time keeping up!" the Dark King asked, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"This is already the slowest pace. Any slower and we'll be in crisis. We must be decisive. If humanity can't even do this, and insists on coveting the resources of the primordial land, there's nothing I can do. After all, humanity is no longer the same as we knew them back then. Our goodwill has been rejected by them. If they had accepted our arrangements, we wouldn't be in this crisis now. We can only say that we are willing but powerless!"

Xiao Sheng was right. Everything that had happened wasn't their fault, but rather the result of humanity's selfishness. Humanity only saw the hidden dangers of cooperating with the Twelve Ancestral Witches, failing to see the benefits, and even less comprehending the terror of the immeasurable calamity. Now it was too late to say anything. It wasn't that Xiao Sheng didn't want to slow down, but the Lesser Thousand Worlds were being forcibly pushed forward, and this pace wouldn't stop unless an external force intervened. Under the current circumstances, who would be foolish enough to try and stop the Lesser Thousand Worlds' progress?
No one dared to do that, for it would bring the wrath of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Even a Primordial Golden Immortal could not bear such consequences. If Xiao Sheng slowed down, he would part ways with the Twelve Ancestral Witches and might even lose sight of them. If something unexpected happened, he would be picked off one by one, a consequence that Xiao Sheng could not accept.

"Look, the human race's minor world has moved! They've finally made the right decision, abandoning those resources in the primordial land. I don't know what they were thinking, wasting precious time and energy on those resources. If they had considered the current situation more carefully beforehand, things wouldn't be like this now!" Daoist Shifang shook his head as he spoke. If only the human race had given up their illusions, things wouldn't be like this now!
When the human race's minor world stirred, the curses throughout the entire prehistoric world went even more frenzied. Now, the human race has also become the target of the curses, especially those who are powerless to escape. The resentment in their hearts has burst forth, and they are frantically venting their dissatisfaction, accusing Xiao Sheng, the Twelve Ancestral Witches, and the human race of being unable to help them in their time of need!

"Damn it, we can't wait any longer, waiting any longer means certain death. Let's all stick together and leave. Let's work together to push a star into chaos!" Good heavens, as expected of the Lord of Heaven, Haotian instantly thought of a way to break the deadlock. The Zhou Tian Stars are their best choice.

When Haotian's words were uttered, some members of the demon race had already done so. Lu Ya had already stepped onto the Sun Star and begun to fully activate the Sun Star's primal power. However, he alone could not free the Sun Star from the shackles of the Zhou Tian stars. This required the power of everyone. But no one would accept his words, so he had been waiting for the right opportunity.

"Well said! With the Zhou Tian Stars here, we can use them as our safe haven. Time waits for no one, everyone hurry up and get to work. If we delay any longer, we'll really have no chance, and the Zhou Tian Stars will be the first to be eroded!" The clever Puer immediately realized the importance of time and the situation of the Zhou Tian Stars!
Soon, many races in the prehistoric land went crazy, all trying to escape from the prehistoric land at all costs. The powerful were able to take away some rare treasures and their people with them, because they all had their own backup plans. But the weak had no chance at all.

Although it was too easy for him to make a move, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't protect everyone. So, under such circumstances, he could only forcefully knock down those useless Zhou Tian stars, break their bindings, and give all living beings in the prehistoric world a chance to survive. However, it was hard to say how effective this would be, since the army of chaotic beasts was not just for show!
The sounds of battle shook the heavens. For the survival of their races and civilizations, for their own lives and deaths, the powerful were fighting desperately. At this moment, chaos reigned over the primordial land. Fortunately, the previous trials had already claimed the lives of many weaker beings in the primordial world. Therefore, although the situation was still perilous, the actual number of fallen primordial creatures was not too great, and everything remained within the acceptable range for the Great God Pangu!

Why didn't the Primordial World's Origin stop Taiyi, or even the departure of those beings, when it clearly possessed such power? The reason is simple: the Primordial World's Origin wouldn't put beings in a desperate situation. Knowing full well that it couldn't withstand the erosion of the aura of death and bloodlust, it would still try to prevent beings from leaving; the consequences of doing so would be too severe.

"You bastard Xiao Sheng, you madman are ruining my plans!" Demon Ancestor Luo Hou felt immense hatred when he saw the primordial world descending into chaos. This chaos rendered many of his plans impossible, and he could only watch helplessly as the order of the primordial world crumbled and as the primordial world was gradually enveloped by the power of death and bloodlust!
If the beings of the primordial land had retaliated, all of this wouldn't have happened so quickly, giving them more time to escape. However, Xiao Sheng and his group's actions directly disrupted the Demon Ancestor Luo Hou's plans, causing everything to turn out the way it is now!
It can only be said that Demon Ancestor Rahu was overthinking things. Self-sacrifice for others is not something that will happen to Xiao Sheng and his companions. After all, everyone must bear the consequences of their choices; no one cares about the life or death of others. This is an immeasurable eon; expecting others to fight and sacrifice for you is a joke. Cultivators are the most selfish! Relying on others is not as good as relying on yourself. Placing all your hopes on others is irresponsible towards your own life. No one cares about your death; to survive, you can only rely on yourself!
