Lan Yue believes that the Beast King's words are not alarmist, because the Hanging Tower is the only way to the outside world for Yuanhun Continent, and there must be some unknown secrets hidden in it.
The appearance of the orcs on the Yuanhun Continent is a bit strange. A race like them that is naturally stronger than humans is trapped in the extreme north forever due to the existence of the hanging tower. This seems to be foreshadowing something. .
Lan Yue feels that she is not repelled by the orcs. She even thinks that the orcs have paid too much to keep this secret.
These inexplicable memories suddenly appeared in Lan Yue's mind. It was obvious that she had some kind of connection with the orcs. To be precise, her white tiger soul should have some inherited memories related to the orcs.
Although these inherited memories are very vague, Lan Yue believes that the Beast King did not lie to her.
So, Lan Yue said to the Beast King seriously.
"Yes, there is indeed an important secret hidden in the hanging tower, but because my inherited memory has not yet fully awakened, I can't remember what the secret is."
Hearing this, the Beast King looked at Lan Yue in surprise.
"Sure enough, it's you. It seems that I guessed it right. You are the person who once helped our orcs."
Lan Yue had no impression of the Beast King's methods. Maybe what the Beast King said did not belong to Ling's memory, because they were all just descendants of that ancestor.
But since they have such a connection, Lan Yue felt that it would be at least easier to obey the Beast King, but the Beast King continued at this time.
"Yuanhun Continent is not only your hometown, but also the habitat where our orcs have lived for tens of thousands of years, so there is no reason for us to put the entire continent in danger.
At the same time, when our ancestors first came here, they were given the responsibility of guarding this continent. However, due to conflicts between us and the elves who originally lived here, the continuity of our orc tribe was almost cut off. .
Fortunately, the girl's ancestors intervened and we were able to reach an agreement on peaceful coexistence with the elves. "
Lan Yue nodded and smiled after hearing this.
"Then why can't you live in harmony with humans?"
The Beast King knew what Lan Yue was thinking, and of course he would not hide the truth from Lan Yue anymore. The Beast King said in a serious tone.
“The inherited memories of our ancestors as orcs can only be awakened after obtaining the Beast King’s scepter. Therefore, I am the only one in the entire orc clan who knows the truth.
You may ask me why I don’t tell others this truth, but you might as well ask them if they can accept this truth. "
The Beast King allowed the other Beastmen to speak, so the Great Protector of the Beast clan nodded.
"It sounds ironic for us to protect humans from generation to generation. Will humans be grateful to us for this?"
Hearing the words of the Great Protector, all the orcs answered in unison.
"Won't!"
The words of the Great Protector are the voice of the orcs, so he has more confidence to speak.
"We have always been regarded as a foreign race. What's even more ridiculous is that the reason why humans hate us is just because we are born stronger than humans.
What I don’t understand is, isn’t it natural to worship the strong? But why have humans never been polite to us since ancient times?
And even if we know this, we will still be trapped in this far north forever. Is this fair to us orcs?
Therefore, the inherited memories of the ancestors will be sealed in the Beast King's scepter. This may not be the original intention of the ancestors, but now it is the common choice of all of us orcs. "
Hearing these words of the Great Protector, Lan Yue fell into silence. The Beast King knew that it was difficult for her to accept such a truth, but this was the fact.
So, he said to Lan Yue.
"We have no way of knowing now why there are conflicts between humans and beasts, but the hatred accumulated over tens of thousands of years will not be resolved overnight. This is reality, and we must first face the reality before we can seek What’s the solution for you?”
Only then did Lan Yue realize that her misunderstanding of the orcs was no different from other people's. However, as the most powerful practitioner on the Yuanhun Continent, she was naturally qualified to represent all humans and the orcs in reconciliation.
Therefore, she looked up at the orcs and spoke calmly.
"Worshipping the strong is not the truth. This is the difference between humans and beasts. For tens of thousands of years, our two races have killed and wounded each other, but if we ask who is to blame, I am afraid no one can figure it out. In this case, then why? There are only two options before us.
First, we will continue to fight like this, letting this hatred forever shroud the Yuanhun Continent, and the outstanding cultivators of our two clans will also devote their entire lives to such a meaningless battle, using up their limited resources in vain. of practice time.
As for the second option, it may be more cruel, that is, I will bear all this. After you are all killed by me, I will destroy the hanging tower.
From now on, Yuanhun Continent no longer needs anyone to protect it. Of course, this continent will also be isolated from the world, and no real strong man will appear again. "
Hearing Lan Yue's words, all the orcs present were shocked, because they did not expect that such a delicate human woman could have such a decisive will to kill.
Will she really be the one to end all these grudges?
Although the Beast King was not sure whether Lan Yue would kill the entire orc clan, he knew very well that Lan Yue did have such strength.
So, the Beast King said to Lan Yue in as calm a tone as possible.
"You use this method to force us to give up fighting against humans. You must have a better way, so I would like to hear your third option."
But before Lan Yue could answer, the Great Protector of the Beast Clan couldn't help but speak. Even if he did so to offend the Beast King, he would not hesitate, because his words represented the dignity of the entire Orc Clan.
"We orcs are fearless in the face of death, but we will never accept the threat of a human woman!"
"Yes, we don't accept it. The worst we can do is fight to the death!"
"We are not afraid of death!"
"..."
Many orcs began to express their opinions. Obviously, after living among primitive tribes without restraint for a long time, these orcs were not afraid of death at all.
They not only have the intelligence of humans, but they also seem to have not completely gotten rid of the mania and fearlessness of beasts. This selective combination of humans and beasts is really a kind of ingenious art.
Fortunately, Lan Yue's original intention was not to annihilate the entire orc clan. She was just testing the orc clan's bottom line. But now she understands that even if she kills all these people, no one will compromise.
Therefore, it is extremely important to win the approval of the Beast King, and the Beast King seems to understand this truth, as he waved his hand to everyone.
"I hope that everyone will stop breaking the rules of the orcs. If anyone is dissatisfied with my decision, they can challenge me, but please do not interrupt our negotiations again, because this matter is related to the survival of our entire orcs."
Then the Beast King looked back at Lan Yue and continued.
"If I guess correctly, your strength has surpassed the martial arts realm, and your swordsmanship has reached the peak of the sword servant realm, and you are only one step away from being promoted to the sword emperor.
That is to say, you are not lying. If you really want to slaughter the entire orc clan, I believe this place will soon turn into a hell on earth, and no one will survive. Am I right? "
Lan Yue did not expect the Beast King to perceive her strength so accurately, and even her own division of the realm of swordsmanship was not as clear as the Beast King.
However, she can indeed do these things that the Beast King asked, because she would rather be the executioner to end it all than the practitioners on Yuanhun Continent who would always be trapped in such endless wars.
Lan Yue didn't know how she came up with this idea, but she was certain that if she had been herself three years ago, she would not be as cold-blooded and ruthless as she is now.
It seems that after inheriting the White Tiger Spirit, her character has been quietly affected. Lan Yue has always been in awe of this change in herself, because she does not want to lose herself and become a ruthless killer. tool.
"This is my last choice. I want to leave this continent to find my lover. If this place will still be devastated by racial wars after I leave, I would rather lose my Taoist heart to complete this task." My only wish before leaving."
Lan Yue's calm answer caused the surrounding air to freeze instantly, and everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe, because this seemingly calm voice contained the endless killing that could occur in a single thought.
At the same time, Lan Yue is also struggling in this extreme mental confusion. She hopes that the orcs will not give her any reason to convince her to kill, because once the sword light of the killing appears, it will never end. This is The outcome she least wanted to see.
Therefore, Lan Yue wanted to try her best again, and she looked at everyone present with compassion in her beautiful eyes.
"I can feel that my soul has a very complicated relationship with you orcs. Although I am negotiating with you as a human being, deep down in my heart, I do not regard you as a foreign race.
I hope you can understand that humans are not your enemy. Although our two races have accumulated grievances for tens of thousands of years, as long as you are willing to try to reconcile, there are always ways to eliminate such grievances.
Of course, if you insist that destruction is the only way, then I have no choice, because I was born as a human, and this is a fact that I cannot change, so I can only end this relationship on behalf of mankind."
Hearing Lan Yue's voice, all the orcs fell into silence. They were thinking about a question, but this question was finally raised by the beast king.
"If you were born a beast, what would a girl do?"
"Then the person standing in front of me now should be the leader of the human race."
The Beast King replied happily after hearing this.
"I see."
