Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 245 Erasing the Past

Is it right or wrong?

Zhu Ge was a little nervous just now, feeling that his second brother was someone who made people want to punch him.

But now, Zhu Ge pondered and said, "For my second brother, it's the right thing to do."

"Hahaha, as expected of my elder brother!" The Annihilation True Monarch laughed heartily: "Indeed! For me, living is about eliminating all unpleasant things, not about living just for the existence of this body."

"Ants and beasts live simply to live, so why should I live just to live? I live only for pleasure, and if I'm not happy, then I'll just die."

The True Lord of Annihilation looked up at the sky, a blade of grass somehow appearing in his mouth: "Originally, I could have preserved my cultivation, but that barbarian raped and murdered the pregnant woman he imprisoned right before my eyes. What do you think I should do?"

"That pregnant woman must be an ordinary peasant woman in our court, working hard every day. She is only in her thirties, and the calluses and cracks on her hands are more numerous than the wrinkles on her face."

"She must have been abducted by the royal family of Southern Vietnam and Myanmar after the fall of the border of Honghe Prefecture following the planning and arrangements of the Red Rice Immortal."

"From her tearful eyes, I saw the sorrow of losing her father and mother, the anger of her husband being killed, and the despair of her three sons being boiled alive."

"And she's carrying a baby girl, Zhu Ge, what do you think, should I save her or not?"

The True Lord of Oblivion asked Zhu Ge with a calm expression.

To save or not to save?

The rescue is clearly a trap; stepping into it will almost certainly result in being attacked by an unknown force.

not help?

This was a wise move, because the power of the Annihilation True Monarch was extremely strong. He saved a woman and an unborn baby girl, but caused the human race to lose a True Monarch-level expert.

"I will save them." Zhu Ge hesitated for only a moment before making her decision.

Upon hearing those three words, both Lord Lantern and Lord Annihilation turned their heads in astonishment.

"Haha, as expected of my good elder brother, I didn't mistake him!" The Annihilation True Lord laughed heartily, looking at the Lantern-Holding True Lord: "Lantern-Holding, see, I was right, wasn't I?"

"Zhuge, why didn't you fight the fisherman in the straw raincoat back then?" asked the Lantern-Carrying True Lord curiously.

"Crack!" The wooden stick of the lantern next to it broke completely, and terrifying fluctuations came from the sky, as if countless beings were about to break through the air.

But the Lantern-Carrying True Lord was quick-witted and nimble-fingered, and casually replaced the stick with another one, inserting the lantern back into the soil.

The fluctuations in the sky came to an abrupt halt, with only a few faint roars and howls of resentment echoing through the air.

"Because I can't kill the fisherman in the straw raincoat," Zhu Ge said frankly. "My goal is to kill the fisherman in the straw raincoat and get revenge, not to die."

"If I can save the baby girl and woman from the royal family of the southern Vietnamese and Burmese wilderness, I will not consider the consequences, but only how to achieve my goal."

"This is my gut feeling; I'm afraid I'll become like Redmi Daxian."

Zhu Ge replied.

alive?

He doesn't live just to live.

In reality, most people live for the things they can enjoy while they are alive, and most people don't want to live anymore because of what they are suffering.

There are too few people who live purely for survival.

If simply maintaining vital signs is considered living, then cutting off a person's limbs, gouging out their eyes, removing their tongue, and piercing their ears to create a human pig would also maintain vital signs.

It can even maintain vital signs for 10,000 or 20,000 years.

But is that kind of living still living?

In Zhu Ge's view, such a life is not as good as living a hundred years, or even ten years, of carefree and unrestrained living, indulging in righteous indignation and revenge.

"I make the same choice as you." The True Lord of Annihilation chuckled, looking at the distant sky with reminiscence: "When I was a child, my mother was dragged for several miles by the Japanese pirates of Yingzhou in order to protect me. Her hair was tied to a horse's tail and she was dragged along the ground until her hair and scalp were pulled off. Fortunately, my mother must have fainted and died halfway through, so she did not suffer too much pain."

"I had a younger sister who was less than a month old. I used to feed her grasshoppers made of straw, but then Japanese pirates came into the village and ate my sister raw with a condiment called 'wasabi.'"

"My father happened to encounter Japanese pirates who wanted to experiment with their newly learned fire magic that day, and they literally steamed him into a dried-up human body—"

At this point, True Monarch Annihilation smiled and shook his head: "Tell me, now that I have cultivation and a sword, what will I do if I encounter those Japanese pirates and barbarians again?"

What will they do?

Zhu Ge felt a tightness in his chest, but he also knew that his choice was no different from that of the Obliterating True Monarch.

To put it bluntly, if he were to encounter the same fate as the Annihilation True Monarch, the entire so-called barbarian race would likely be wiped out.

Zhu Gecai couldn't care less about the Great Dao or the Dao Heart, or about things like "when will the cycle of revenge end?"

He does whatever he wants, regardless of the risk to his life, so why would he be afraid of anything else?

Weighing the pros and cons and analyzing right and wrong afterward are things for after the fact.

"I will slaughter all the Japanese pirates and barbarians," Zhu Ge replied calmly.

Upon hearing this, True Lord Annihilation smiled, and True Lord Lantern couldn't help but nod.

"Alright, I won't say any more to you." The Annihilation True Monarch laughed, "Brother, since you're so to my liking, I'll help you out."

As he spoke, he gestured to the Lantern-Carrying True Lord.

Upon hearing this, Lord Lantern sighed, "Is it worth it?"

The Annihilation True Lord laughed and cursed, "Where the hell did you learn that question? Quickly open the barrier for me!"

Then he said to Zhu Ge, "Brother! Quickly use your hiding method. Your method is so powerful that neither I nor Ti Deng could detect it."

"If you want to live, you'd better get through this first, and then we'll see how your second brother fools those fools who are full of selfish desires."

Hidden Dharma Method?

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ge immediately used the [Secret] skill.

Lantern-Carrying True Lord looked at Annihilation True Lord carefully for a few moments, then glanced at Zhu Ge, before nodding slightly and picking up the lantern from the soil.

The next moment, one after another dark spatial rift appeared in the sky, from which various powerful fluctuations flowed.

"Strange! Why did it take so long? Has my method failed?"

"I suppose there's a True Lord here who has imprisoned heaven and earth."

"I could smell the stench of the historians; it was nauseating."

"The Great Dao is beginning to appear; this is a momentous event for Confucianism and Taoism, who dares to obstruct it!?"

"Gentleman of Qingyuan, how have you been these days?"

"Lord Sichen, how have you been?"

Numerous powerful beings emerged from the spatial rift, some with eagle-like eyes and wolf-like gazes, some with hands clasped and laughter, and some without uttering a word.

No one was looking down, but Zhu Ge could feel goosebumps rising on his skin and his hair standing on end. It was a divine consciousness so powerful that it almost became tangible.

"Hahaha, you're late. I've already separated the Confucianism and Taoism from Zhu Ge's body and integrated them into mine."

The Annihilation True Lord suddenly burst into laughter, then lay down on the muddy ground, a jug of wine in his hand. As he drank, he said cheerfully, "What's up? Anyone want to have a word with me?"
