Chapter 639: Division
Sage nodded, Thats right. If I fail again, I dont want any of you caught up in it again. We shall be tied together only in that we are both shareholders of the Prosperity Company, he paused and smiled at the upset look on the Tiankong Siblings faces, I know. You hate it, but this is how it has to be. If you dont like it, then you just have to get so strong that nobody would even dare to harm one of your friends. Got it? You cant let King down.
Ruanfu already had a burning look in her eyes before Sage even spoke, so he just wished to share that same passion to the others. The strongest, wisest, and the future leaders of the Tiankong Clan should all share the same dream.
You have to hold up the sky for them until they can get strong enough to help you, Ruanfu. Youre strong enough now to keep them safe, just so long as you all stay away from me. Understand?
Ruanfu laughed and dragged a fingernail across the table. Her nail carved into the thick hardwood like it was soft wax, creating a thick wood shaving that curled up and fell onto the tabletop, Hah! Those are quite the words coming from you! You just crawled your ass back out of a grave and now youre acting all noble? Psh. A few years from now when the Tiankong Clan is feared throughout the whole Kingdom youll be begging at our doorstep for our protection.
Sage stood up from his seat. Very slowly he bowed to Ruanfu who sat across the table from him. Then he gave her a salute, a fist clasped within his other hand, and returned to his seat. Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.
After a moment of silence, Wan Ling cleared her throat, Ahem, as I was saying. With three official representatives here, we will be announcing a few changes. The Prosperity Companys shares are being redistributed. Lang Sheng and myself currently hold the greatest part of ownership and have decided on a new ownership split.
Is this what deities feel like? You cannot let yourself become attached or youll never be able to do what needs to be done. How could I ever face danger if I think about how many lives ride on my own? Should I just lock myself up in a box? What happens if a meteor falls from the sky or the earth opens up and Im crushed. Whose fault is it then?
If he couldnt divorce himself from the mental burden of the situation, he could easily collapse under its weight. He had to fool himself into treating them like the other thousands of mortals that lived in this world. A careless battle fought in a city could destroy whole blocks, and hundreds or thousands could become collateral damage. They were just too weak in comparison to Cultivators that they were helpless to resist. Even so, they were all humans. They were all related, however distantly. Any one of those humans might one day also become a cultivator. Those with morals wouldnt kill needlessly and harm the future of their species. Those without morals were fearful that if they harmed mortals, one of them would remember and rise up, coming for them years later. It had happened many times in the past. Lone heroes getting revenge for something the perpetrator didnt even remember doing.
For Cultivators, it became a rule. Harm no mortals, or pull them up by the roots. Completely obliterating everyone with any relation was easier said than done. All it took was one child, one friend, one distant relative, or even one compassionate witness.
As Sage traveled through the wilderness, he couldnt help but ponder over these things. He wasnt traveling as a giant spider this time, as he was no longer in a hurry and also not wanting to draw attention. Instead, he was riding within a Warp Worm. For a time he had thought to head directly back to Lionheart Town to reclaim it and punish those who had wronged him, but he realized his own folly.
Last time, he had thought his preparations were strong enough that he could hold a small town and deter his enemies. Unfortunately, he greatly underestimated his allure. He could only guess that his use of Seals, his connection to Guan Zhenyan, or more likely a combination of both, had turned him into a hot property. Now that he knew he wasnt just disliked, but an active target for some hidden powers, he decided to change tactics. Since these groups hated him enough to gather an army to seek his head, then they could only blame themselves for the retribution they faced.
Holding a defensive position gave a great advantage over an attacking force, but there was something even more effective than holding a defensive position. Having no position. If there was no fort to besiege or position to assault, where would the enemy turn its hatred? Sage carried not just an army but a whole world within him. Not only could his forces appear from anywhere, they would also never run out of supplies or be run ragged from overexertion. As long as he could get somewhere, his whole army would be with him.
They tried to kill me. That was a very bad decision.
