Chapter 2010: Duty Bound

his head towards Fang Yu, a cruel smile spreading across his rugged face."Boom..."At this moment, his outer skin resembled a burning flame, with a layer of crimson aura continuously evaporating."This..."Today's Nandyu, blaming Fang Yu and the Yuhua Sect for their fear is a grave mistake!"

“The infighting within the Human Domain is exactly what the Ten Thousand Dao Pavilion and the twenty-four major clans want.”

"Before the invasion of the Twenty-Four Tribal Alliance, we must change the views of most cultivators..."

“It’s too difficult.” Before Ye Ge could finish speaking, Wu Ran shook his head and said, “After Wan Dao Pavilion’s vigorous promotion, Fang Yu and the image of the Feather Transformation Sect have taken root in people’s hearts. It’s impossible to reverse this situation in a short time, and we don’t have the resources or time to help him clear his name. Moreover, I think Fang Yu bears some responsibility for the current situation.”

"It's come to this, discussing responsibility is pointless." Ye Ge narrowed her eyes and said, "If the three Great Realms speak out together to clear Fang Yu's name, it will definitely have an effect."

"Ye Ge, you're oversimplifying things. Doing this will only drag us down!" Wu Ran said solemnly, "If we rashly speak up for Fang Yu, the Wando Pavilion will definitely take advantage of us, completely dividing our Human Race Domain! By then, we won't even need to wait for the Twenty-Four Great Clans Allied Army, our Human Race Domain would be destroyed!"

Night Song's face changed slightly.

"The key to changing people's minds doesn't lie with us, but with... whether we can make them see the hope of defeating the Twenty-Four Great Clans." At this moment, Ruòjù spoke without pause, "These cultivators are acting frantically now only because the pressure brought by the allied forces of the Twenty-Four Great Clans is too great, leaving them desperate."

In desperation, they believed the only way to survive was to eliminate the source of the incident... Fang Yu and the Feather Transformation Sect. In other words, the vast majority of cultivators believed that compared to the Twenty-Four Great Clans Alliance, Fang Yu and the Feather Transformation Sect were easier to deal with.

“This… is the key point.”

Hearing this, Ye Ge and Wu Ran looked at each other.

"If what Senior means is that to change these people's minds, only Fang Yu can do it" Ye Ge's eyes flickered as he asked, "If Fang Yu can still display astonishing strength in the upcoming Southern Region joint siege, then..."

"It's very difficult, even if he could survive, it would be hard to bring more pressure than the Twenty-Four Great Clan Alliance." Ruò Bùjué said.

Ye Ge's expression changed, he took a deep breath and said, "If Senior, if the twenty-four major clans unite to invade, we have to make a move too. The three of us joining forces are not without a fighting chance."

If remained silent, simply kneeling down and lifting his aged and withered right hand.

"Whoosh!"

A faint glow appeared in his hand, revealing a semi-transparent talisman.

If not holding onto the branch tightly, he blew a breath.

"Hey!"

The symbol soared from the palm, transforming into sparkling stars in mid-air, falling onto the flowing stream on the ground.

At this moment, the stream is dotted with little lights, like stars in the night sky.

These dots connect with each other, slowly forming a ring shape.

However, between the two final connecting points, there was a gap.

Therefore, the pattern is not complete and does not form a closed shape.

If he didn't let out a heavy sigh, his face would look even older.

And Wu Ran was staring wide-eyed at the imperfect pattern on the surface of the stream, his face turning grim. He said, "Senior, this is…"

"This is my divination chart," he said in a low, grave voice. "We... the human race, I fear, will not be able to survive this calamity."

Upon hearing this, Wu Ran's eyes flashed a hint of shock, then a glimmer of understanding.

Yet, Ye Ge shook his head and said, "If senior, a single deduction wouldn't explain anything..."

"Not once, these past few days... I've run the simulation over fifty times." He glanced at Ye Ge, his voice soft. "Each time the pattern is different, but the result is always the same, it can never make the pattern complete."

"We... are out of options."

Having said that, Ruò's expression fell, and with a flick of her right hand, she erased the pattern on the surface of the stream.

Then, with his hands behind his back and hunched shoulders, he slowly walked into the depths of the forest.

Wu Ran glanced at Ye Ge and also turned to leave.

"It seems that you have all forgotten the awareness that a world sovereign should possess." Ye Ge said softly, bowing her head.

This statement is said in a calm tone of voice, softly.

But, it made both Ruòbùjué and Wǔrán, who had already walked more than ten meters, stop in their tracks.

"I believe that if Senior Shi Yuan hadn't fallen, his attitude at this moment would certainly be different from yours." Ye Ge continued.

Hearing this, Wuran's face turned displeased. He turned around, his brow furrowed as he said, "Ye Ge, this seat has never forgotten its responsibility as a Realm Lord. But the current situation, as the senior has clearly stated, cannot be solved by mere passion! We have no chance!"

"Not even a tentative resistance, just by deduction, you can decide the fate of our human race that has lasted for so many years" Ye Ge looked up and stared at Wu Ran, saying, "You should know that in the beginning, the Great Tianchen Star... only belonged to our human race!"

Wu Ran's face darkened.

Ye Ge's words made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Ye Ge, let me say this again. The issue isn't whether we intervene or resist. The question is, does our resistance even matter" Wu Ran gritted his teeth and said.

"What does it mean to have meaning" Ye Ge's eyes were cold, "Is it meaningful to be a turtle hiding in its shell and letting the human race be trampled and humiliated endlessly by the twenty-four great races..."

"Or perhaps, Brother Wu Ran thinks that as long as one can live well, life has meaning"

"Damn, do you know what you're talking about!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Ran could no longer hold back. His face contorted in rage as he roared out in fury.

"I know exactly what I'm saying." Ye Ge's eyes became calm, but her tone grew increasingly firm. "And I understand your intentions as well."

"Your choice, I cannot interfere with. At last... all I want to remind you is this."

"It is our duty to protect the dignity of humankind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ge's body transformed into a firework and instantly dissipated, scattering on the ground.

His scent, completely gone.

On the spot, only Wu Ran remained with a ferocious expression, and Ru Bu Jue stood motionless.

"Ye Ge knows what he's saying, doesn't he! Does he know! He thinks we don't understand his words! It was us who let him take over Shi Yuan's position and become the Boundary Lord! After only being the Boundary Lord for three hundred years, he dares to lecture us about our lack of awareness! What does he think he is!" Wu Ran was clearly furious, his face twitching.

If he didn't turn away, he merely tilted his head slightly upward to gaze at the leaves that shimmered in a variety of colors.

"I want to see what Yè Gē can do now! Let's see what he can come up with!" Wù Rán was short of breath and looked at Ruo Bù Jué, asking, "Senior Ruo, you should have reprimanded him just now. With your status..."

"I... I am not as good as him."..right'" 。Chen Ye nodded blankly. 。"I'll leave these spirit stones with you to keep. Use them whenever needed, for any situation." 。"Fang Yu said, 'Tell me when you're done.'" 。“Speaking of which, F...
