Imperial Palace, Shou'an Hall.
When Li Ziye met Taoist Taishang for the first time, the atmosphere was not too good, but it was not too bad either.
As a Taoist sage and Taishang, let alone others, in terms of quality and bearing, he must be much better than Li Ziye.
After all, he was once a sage who was inferior to one person in the Taoist sect and surpassed tens of thousands of people. How could he be as knowledgeable as a junior?
"Old man, I can't just watch the world under the protection of Dao Sect be destroyed in the extreme night and winter." Taishang was silent for a moment and then said.
This is also his only obsession to survive to this day. In the Battle of the Gods, the Taoist sect spent all its resources to protect the human world and cannot be destroyed just like that.
Li Ziye sighed softly in his heart after hearing what the old guy said. This was the root of the conflict.
Thousands of years ago, the Taoist sect paid a high price in order to drive away the gods. Such a huge price also caused the obsession in Tai Shang's heart.
If the human world were to be destroyed like this, the sacrifice of the Dao Sect a thousand years ago would seem too ridiculous.
After all, Taishang could not let go of his Taoist pride. For this pride, he was willing to live for a thousand years, and even gambled with the people of the world.
There is no right or wrong, just different concepts and methods.
To be honest, he hates the feeling of being at the mercy of others. Even if the winter catastrophe comes, whether he lives or dies is his own business and should not be decided by others.
Everyone is responsible for his or her own life, and similarly, no one is qualified to interfere in other people's lives.
Salvation is not an excuse.
Just like the Taoist sect thousands of years ago, it fought against the gods until the entire Taoist sect was almost destroyed. It was just because the Taoist sect didn't like the gods.
As for saving the world, it's just a matter of convenience.
The Taoist sect of a thousand years ago was domineering and free and easy, but the Taishang of a thousand years later could no longer bear the consequences of the destruction of the human world.
If people cannot accept failure, they will most likely go to extremes.
"Boy."
Taishang looked at the silent young man in front of him and asked in a deep voice, "Have you found a way to save the world? The extreme night and winter are coming soon!"
"No."
Li Ziye shook his head and replied without any concealment, "Old man, I am just a little-known person. Saving the world, such a grand wish, has nothing to do with me. I have neither the ability nor the obligation to save others. What I can do I just want to protect the people around me as much as possible, that's all. The irony is that even this small wish, I haven't fulfilled it now. Old people know that just three days ago, my eldest sister fell to the ground in public. In front of me, saving the world? Ha."
At this point, Li Ziye's tone turned cold, he looked at the Shang Emperor next to Tai Shang, and said with murderous intent, "I'm going to save others, who will save my Li family!"
After hearing the words of the young man in front of him, Taishang frowned slightly and moved his eyes to look at the contemporary emperor of Dashang on the side. He said coldly, "I am really old. No one listens to what I said, right? ?Um?"
"I have sent people to investigate the matter of the Li family's daughter."
Emperor Shang saw the two people's gazes and responded calmly, "I will definitely give justice to the Li family in this matter."
After hearing Shang Huang's answer, Li Ziye smiled coldly and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty. If it hadn't been for that assassin, I wouldn't have known that there would be people in the world who practice martial arts like Dameng Chunqiu Sword, which is harmful to others and not beneficial to oneself."
"In order to achieve the goal, the means justify the means. This is the case for assassins. It is not surprising." Shang Huang said lightly.
"But I heard that the assassin was originally going to kill His Majesty."
Li Ziye sneered, "It's really puzzling that he didn't use such a shocking method in the palace, but instead used it against my eldest sister."
"Perhaps the assassin is desperate."
Emperor Shang replied, "Unfortunately, the assassin has been killed by Bai Wangyu. No one will ever know the truth."
"That's a shame."
Li Ziye withdrew his gaze, looked at the old man in front of him again, and asked seriously, "Old man, you have seen the current situation. Do you think that if I can't save the Li family, why should I save this so-called human world?" ? There is no need for me to exist in this world without the Li family."
After hearing the question from the young man in front of him, Taishang responded with a complicated look on his face, "When the Taoist sect was destroyed, the world was not only ungrateful, but they tried their best to erase the traces of the Taoist sect's existence, and even maliciously slandered them. At that time, The old man is just like you, confused, angry, disgusted, and no longer wants to care about this world full of filth. However, as time goes by, these emotions gradually disappear. The old man wants to save this world, not for others, but for others. The thousands of Dao sect disciples who have sacrificed their lives for the sake of the Tao sect, if the human world is destroyed, it should come from our Tao sect, others are not qualified, the same is true for gods and Han Dong."
"Old man, you have your persistence and I have mine. We have different paths and it will be difficult for us to walk together."
Li Ziye said calmly, "Your persistence lies with the Taoist sect, my persistence lies with the Li family, and Confucian leader's persistence lies with all living beings. In fact, everyone is different. I admire Confucian leader's compassion for all living beings, and respect the free and easy and domineering spirit of the Taoist sect." Personality, but you are you and I am me. My whole life, I only live for the Li family. If the Li family dies, I will sacrifice myself in this world for burial. I have no other merits. I will definitely do what I say. !”
"Boy, you are in danger."
Tai Shang stared at the Li family's legitimate son in front of him, narrowed his eyes, and said, "I have misunderstood you. You are not a savior, but an extremely profit-seeking person. Thousands of years ago, we called people like you, madmen!"
"Each other."
Li Ziye said calmly, "Now that everything has been said, I will no longer hide it. Old man, I understand and admire the great aspirations of you and the Confucian leader. I will not be stingy to help with some small favors within my ability. However, all the prerequisites are that the Li family can live well. Just like this incident with the eldest sister, if it happens again, I can guarantee that by that time, this big businessman and this world will be as far as the eye can see. It’s all a continuous war!”
Taishang heard the former's extremely dangerous words, and murderous intent flashed through his eyes, and he said, "Little guy, if you dare to say these words in front of this old man, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get out of this palace?"
"Old people can try it."
Li Ziye's expression turned cold, and the true energy from his body filled the air, sharp and depressing, making people extremely uneasy.
"This palace is shrouded in dragon energy."
Tai Shang saw the purpose of the person in front of him and said coldly, "The calamity will never come."
"Whether you can come down or not is not up to you, the old man."
Li Ziye responded with an indifferent expression, "What the old man should be more concerned about is that with my martial arts talent, if I enter the fifth realm at this time, will there be a heavenly disaster coming to the world!"
