Chapter 754 - 402: Sacrificial Pawn (Part 3)

Huangfu Yi didn’t understand.

The Sergeant chuckled,

"No wonder those old folks from the Mystic Sect like to pick naive youngsters like you. Tsk tsk, young people are so easily swayed. At this age, you’re full of vigor and have no brains; you don’t know your limits.

The best thing is to use you like a weapon, crash into the wall, truly the best choice, hahaha..."

Huangfu Yi replied coldly,

"No need for your sarcasm, all I want is to eliminate the Insect Queen and save the people of Taiji. If you have no solution, don’t waste time rambling."

The Sergeant laughed,

"Who said I didn’t have a solution? Just some insects, the Primordial Spirit Technique can easily get rid of them, it’s not that hard.

But that’s not worth much. They can clone a new batch anytime and throw them to the ground. What will you do when you’re worn out?

Can you fly to the stars and destroy the Insect Clan’s orbital space stations?"

Huangfu Yi was speechless,

"I don’t even know what you’re talking about, but you seem to have a solution then?"

The Sergeant nodded,

"Of course, the root of solving the problem, I’ve said it before, ends the war right here."

Huangfu Yi furrowed his brows, wondering and then somewhat enlightened.

The Sergeant stopped being cryptic, patting the nearby living cabin,

"If someone knows half, they wouldn’t believe it even if I told them. But since you’ve seen it with your own eyes, you should recognize it.

This Outer Heaven, and my Taiji Heaven, are intricately linked by causality and destiny.

Plainly speaking, it’s the same Qiankun, just at different times.

Outer Heaven is the cause of Taiji Heaven.

Taiji Heaven is the effect of Outer Heaven.

These war remains, mechas, and drones you see here today will one day emerge, transforming into insects.

Because the war from back then was never concluded, the birth root of these insects is winning the war.

So they will keep evolving, relentlessly fighting, purging all life.

Until they annihilate all enemies, creating a safe space for the extinct ’humans’ they’re guarding, where they can hatch and rebirth, then they’ll stop.

Causality entangled, like the serpent biting its tail, a continuous cycle.

So standing here, now, our fundamental purpose is to reverse the future apocalypse, ending this war here, now.

Stop everything from the source, unravel this causality.

Insects won’t be born."

Huangfu Yi listened, eyes brightening, pupils clear,

"Understand causality from the root."

Seeing the kid was about to try, the Sergeant coldly splashed water,

"Why, you really want to be the savior? I advise you not to get too excited.

I don’t know what kind of mighty power has this time-reversing method and can bring me here to run a dungeon.

But at least I understand one thing. You and I, and even the battle outcomes for this world, don’t really matter.

We’re just discarded pieces inside the game."

Huangfu Yi was puzzled,

"Discarded pieces?"

The Sergeant nodded,

"That’s right, didn’t you exchange things from the system and know what number Earth this is?"

"What number... Earth..."

The Sergeant, regardless of his pace, directly revealed the answer,

"60, Earth 60.

Outer Heaven, Taiji Heaven, call it whatever, this realm is called Earth in the system.

Such transparency, clearly telling you outright.

This is Earth number 60! So the same Earth, same space-time, the same game, they’ve played it 59 times already!

You, I, Taiji Outer Heaven, all beings are just discarded possibilities they watch in their palm.

This is what’s called the Great Dao of space-time, got it?"

Huangfu Yi stared at him in stupefied silence, not speaking for a while, until blue and red lights flashed overhead, swarms of mechanized bees like thunder clouds and red haze poured out from countless tunnel openings, covering half the sky, he then managed to speak,

"A lie, it’s a lie... it must be you, you miscalculated..."

The Sergeant sneered,

"I am Zheng Shanyin, the Ten Extremes Venerable, master of the Blood Talisman sect! Do you think I’d miscalculate!?

If it were a calculation, it’d be great! This is my Enlightenment!

You brat, coming and going all the time, that’s ignorance!

The dog behind the scenes! Scheming and trickery, stabbing from behind! Trapping me here for almost sixty damn years while I was Divine Traveling Void!

In the past, sweeping the Western Regions, it’s not like I haven’t slaughtered Insect Queens or Kings; who would dare hide this from me in Outer Heaven?

I saw through it long ago! Just wait and see, after all, we’re just pawns crossing the river, pieces stepping on mines!

If this game is lost, it doesn’t matter to them. If it’s lost, it’s lost! Start ’Earth 61’, then it’s over!

But for us, it’s game over!

Not just you, but I will die! The entire Taiji Heaven will be buried!"

After finishing, not waiting for Huangfu Yi to digest it, this Blood Talisman Venerable, master of a sect, expertly raised his hands over his head, squat, and shouted towards the swarming insects,

"Don’t shoot! Don’t shoot! We’re friends! All friends here!"

Huangfu Yi reacted a moment late and was immediately overwhelmed by the electroshock probes pouring down.
