Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"Danheng, Lingsha, as those who uphold enlightenment, you should understand my good intentions."

"All I did was try to survive."

Ling Sha's gaze was deep and thoughtful as she sighed:

"How could I not know the problems that Chiming faces? Seeking survival is not a sin..."

"But the elder's actions have exceeded the limits of what a survivor should do."

"Like a beast that only knows how to reproduce, but has no human compassion whatsoever."

"A compassionate heart?"

Tao Ran took a deep breath.

"Even though we call ourselves [the noble dragons], we have always been nothing more than upright-walking animals."

"The survival of the race is the most important thing. If I don't commit bestial acts, I'm afraid I won't even be able to be a human being!"

"As the saying goes, a sage is not benevolent. Since the Dragon Lord has abandoned his responsibility to maintain the survival of his race, I can only take all the evil of the world upon myself!"

Tao Ran looked at the two of them, his words sharp:

"Danheng, Lingsha! The past is gone. Let's do something for our fellow tribesmen, shall we?!"

"The future of the Vidyadharas still rests in your hands. The situation on the Luofu Immortal Ship is complex. We, the Vidyadharas, must unite as one and never repeat the mistakes of the previous life of Yinyue!"

Ling Sha shook her head in disappointment.

"I was initially skeptical about Luo Fu Chi Ming's betrayal of the alliance... but after hearing the elder's account, I feel that talking about trust is meaningless."

"Violating the Alliance's sacred law will bring war and calamity upon the entire Wisdom Clan."

"Even if we regain the possibility of reproduction, so what?"

"Quite the opposite," Tao Ran said in a deep voice.

"Once what I have done is accomplished, the Alliance will regard Vidyadhara as their savior."

"Because the alliance and the ultimate interests of those who uphold the Way are aligned."

"Having failed to reach an agreement, is the elder now going to discuss interests?"

"Humph!"

Tao Ran took a deep breath and continued:

"The Alliance and the Bountiful People have fought a bloody war for a thousand years, but have never been able to determine a victor. Have you ever considered why?"

"Because if the alliance wins, it will become the next Bountiful People! If it loses the battle, the alliance will face extinction!"

"Therefore, the alliance has long maintained a precarious balance in a hypocritical manner, but I have a way to break free from this predicament."

"The way to save the alliance lies in the [Dragon Transformation Secret Technique]!"

Tao Ran became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Imagine if there were a way to transform other life forms into Vidyadharas, the Alliance would have a continuous stream of soldiers, without the suffering of casualties!"

"Once the war ends, these soldiers will not continue to reproduce, so there is no need to worry about them becoming an overpopulation!"

"This is the [Immortal Boat Alliance]'s method of salvation, the supreme path to eradicate the suffering of the plague from longevity throughout the world. Only I, Chiming, can accomplish this!"

After listening to Tao Ran's story, Ling Sha crossed her arms and frowned slightly.

"Is this the very argument the elder used to persuade those ignorant and foolish people in the Vidyadhara clan to risk their lives for you?"

"Ling Sha is utterly disappointed in you..."

"To risk your life for me?" Tao Ran shouted sternly.

"It's for the sake of the entire Vidyadhara community, risking our lives!"

"With the loss of Dragon Lord Yin Yue, the decline of Chi Ming is inevitable! The number of our kind is decreasing every year, and those compatriots who went to war with the Cloud Cavalry did not even have time to transform before they died!"

"Are you only satisfied when there are only a handful of Vidyadharas left?!"

Tao Ran stared at Dan Heng and gritted his teeth, saying:

"When I first heard the news that you had returned to the Immortal Ship, do you know how happy I was?"

"At that time, I felt that there was hope for Chiming and hope for my compatriots!"

"But what about you, Danheng?"

"You dismissed the suffering of your own kind with a casual 'I am now an unknown guest,' and instead sided with those people from the Immortal Ship!"

"You! What have you taken everything your people have poured into you for...?!" Tao Ran trembled with rage.

Chapter 947 I am the hope of the enlightened one

Then, footsteps came from behind Tao.

The demonic army appeared in a grand formation, and in the center of them stood a petite figure named Chiming.

"White Dew?!" Ling Sha's eyes widened.

"You think I don't know why you sent this message?" Tao Ran's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Jing Yuan sent you to test me, didn't he?"

"According to the covenant between the Alliance and the Vidyadhara, no Vidyadhara shall bleed or be wounded in the territory of the Vidyadhara."

"Do you all need to get hard under the witness of the Dragon Lord of Luofu?"

"Sister Lingsha, help me!!" Bailu was surrounded by the demonic Yin-body monster, trembling with fear.

"Dragon Girl, please don't panic." Ling Sha frowned and looked at Tao Ran.

"Elder, the Holy Land of Wisdom and the Dragon Lord are not life-saving charms in your hands."

"And what about you guys?" Tao Ran squinted his eyes.

"As a righteous person, you betrayed your promise and willingly became a pawn of the Immortal Boat people!"

"Before you come with hostility, why don't you think about how much care you received from your compatriots when you were children?"

"Were you raised by those immortal ship people? Look at what you're all doing now!"

"Especially you, Yin Yue!"

Tao Ran glared angrily at Dan Heng.

"When you were the Dragon Lord, you acted recklessly, wasting so many years of accumulated wisdom on a mere fox-person?!"

"And what was the final result?"

"It's still up to us to bear the consequences!!"

"You're quite something! I've summoned you many times, but you've ignored me. When we learned that another nameless guest had successfully transformed into a dragon and sent him an invitation, you still tried to obstruct us!"

"In the end, all you did for your compatriots was take a medicine-carrying dragon girl, who had no fighting ability, on a tour of the Scale Abyss Realm?"

"What a heartless bastard!!"

"When you came back this time, I thought you would come here to visit... I never expected that you would become a volunteer on the streets of Luofu!"

"Doing this will make you feel at ease standing here?"

"..."

Dan Heng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Danheng has never forgotten his origins."

"Regarding the decline of the Ming Dynasty, I will do my best to find a solution, but it must never be the evil path of joining forces with demons to destroy the Immortal Ship..."

"History is written by the victors!" Tao Ran raised his voice:

"As long as we stand up with clear vision, this history will be beautified into a fairy tale that even babies will love!"

“You are more capable than I of changing the future of the enlightened one, yet you stand before me and block my way!”

"Seeking survival is never a sin, and you should understand my good intentions. As a Vidyadhara, I have also left you two with a dignified method!"

Dragon Master said in a deep voice:

"You shall now withdraw from the Scale Abyss Realm and petition the Alliance's higher-ups, so that the Six Emperors may hold a public trial and punish me, subjecting me to the punishment of having my scales shed, and forcing me to reincarnate!"

"The elder's wishful thinking is a bit too good to be true."

Dan Heng said calmly:

“By reincarnation, the sins of the previous life are wiped clean… but I am very clear about the methods that dragon masters can use during the reincarnation process.”

"You may not be you, but you will still be you."

“I will not use my ignorance as an excuse to easily absolve myself of guilt, nor will I allow you to shirk your responsibility for harming the people of Xianzhou.”

"Without external assistance, the entire fox-people of Luofu would probably turn into a pack of wolves, their howls echoing across the land..."

"Danheng, I hate your lack of pragmatism!" Tao Ran lowered his voice, "Even after reincarnation, you're still the same!"

Dan Heng silently looked back at Bai Lu, who was being escorted by the demonic monster.

“Miss Bailu, you are the Dragon Lord of Luofu, please tell me what you are thinking at this moment.”

Bai Lu quickly replied:

"I...I don't want to stay here! I don't want to be bossed around anymore! I'm not a doll to be manipulated! Please take me away!!"

"I understand." Dan Heng nodded slightly.

He looked at Tao Ran.

"According to the covenant, the members of the alliance must not kill the Vidyadhara again."

"But I am no longer a citizen of the Alliance; I am just an anonymous visitor who comes and goes as he pleases."

"The alliance of the Immortal Ship has no say over the gun in my hand."

Seeing Dan Heng silently draw his weapon, Tao Ran frowned deeply:

"After saying all that, in the end, you all only care about yourselves and outsiders."
