This endless world
#1239 - Sacrifice is a shortcut
To be fair, there is nothing wrong with Gu's teachings and beliefs, and they are even a bit too tolerant.
In the ancient times, humans and alien races were mortal enemies. The two sides were incompatible and would fight to the death... At that time, there were people everywhere who held the idea of "kill all aliens, kill one to break even, kill two to make a huge profit", or "only dead aliens are good aliens".
Being able to do this in the face of the enemy, Gu is worthy of the word "compassionate". Let's take a look at Yuanshi, who also fought side by side with Gu in the past. His style can be described as cruel. Even today when the situation has been greatly eased, his approach has not changed at all...
"...Gu is not a bloodthirsty person, but his principles also have a bottom line, which is that alien races cannot have the strength or potential to destroy the human race."
It can be seen that Fuxi had been holding back these words in his heart for a long time. He had no way to tell others on weekdays. Only at this moment could he confide in Nong: "I am the reincarnation of his inner universe, and I cannot go against his way. Just like you said before, Nuwa is the reincarnation of Jun's inner universe after all. Even if she doesn't have that wisdom, she is destined to be extraordinary."
"As long as she studies and grows, she will eventually grow to the point where she can keep up with me. By then, even I won't be able to stop her. And since she is not a human now, I must kill her..."
As he spoke, Fuxi once again showed the killing intent that he could not control. However, compared to the direct attack just now, this time the killing intent was only slightly released, and then it was forcibly suppressed. Fuxi also smiled bitterly and said: "As you can see, at first it was the killing intent in words, then it came out when we met, and then I almost took action directly. That time, the action destroyed one-third of the personal palace..."
"So, I could only place Nuwa in the incubator, stop the flow of time inside the cabin, and seal the outside with the Four Symbols, Five Elements and Eight Diagrams runes to isolate the corresponding aura. I didn't dare to see her at all. Even so, I probably couldn't control myself, and until now, I can't even mention her name..."
"There is actually such a thing..."
Hearing this secret for the first time, even Nong was shocked. You know, Gu has been a third of the Tao for many years, and he does not exist in the multiverse today, but the Tao left by Gu is something that even Fuxi today cannot disobey, and he cannot even resist...
“…This is cause and effect.”
As if he saw what Nong was thinking, Fuxi said bitterly: "It is precisely because I am Gu's inner universe that I can inherit many things from Gu, such as his battle memories, his cultivation insights, his moves, and many other things of his... When I was still weak, these things saved me from danger countless times, allowing me to grow all the way to where I am today."
“But after I became the Human Emperor, all these things became my shackles and obstacles that imprisoned me.”
At this moment, Fuxi raised his head to the sky. Although there was a gray ceiling above his head, Nong could still see a rare hope in his eyes, which was completely different from the painful struggle just now: "So, I want to use the great wish of 'human beings should be the eternal protagonists' to break through that impossible obstacle, create the inner universe in one fell swoop, and get rid of the ancient way..."
"……etc."
After hearing Fuxi's story, Nong suddenly discovered a blind spot: "You just said that the human race should be the eternal protagonist, but what about Nuwa?"
"Now, what about Nuwa, who is a foreign race and no longer a human? If I hadn't appeared today, how would you have solved Nuwa's problem?"
"Of course, it is to achieve the inner universe."
Fuxi said firmly: "The human race should be the eternal protagonist, but who will define the scope of the human race? After I achieve the inner universe, I will be able to redeem all regrets and create a world where everyone can smile--"
"——No, Fuxi, you are wrong."
At this moment, Nong suddenly interrupted Fuxi's words. He was more serious than any time before, even more serious than when Fuxi was about to attack Nuwa: "If you really have this mentality, then you will definitely fail."
"Whether it's to fulfill your great wish, save your loved ones, or redeem your regrets, you can't achieve it...you even have nothing."
Hearing this blatant denial, Fuxi's expression suddenly changed, but Nong continued: "You actually understand it in your heart, right? Before you achieve your great wish, Nuwa may have grown up first, causing you to be unable to suppress your murderous intentions, and by then, everything will be irreversible... Now, you plan to come back and solve the problem with Nuwa after you have enough power, or even achieve the inner universe?"
"Is this putting the cart before the horse, or have you actually regarded your sister as a sacrifice for your own wish?"
"--you!"
This sentence was so heartbreaking that Fuxi's handsome face immediately turned red. But even so, Nong's words were still sharp: "Or is it that in your world where 'humans are the eternal protagonists', there is not enough living space for aliens?"
“If you can’t even clean your own house, how can you clean up the world? If you can’t even care about the people around you, then no matter how powerful you are or how great your wish is, you are doomed to fail…”
“That’s enough!”
Fuxi's roar rang out in this extremely depressing gray space: "This is the only method I can think of!"
"I have no choice! I am the reincarnation of Gu's inner universe. I possessed Jun's wisdom when I was born. I am the last hope of the human race. I am destined to lead the human race to counterattack all other races and save the human race from the water and fire..."
"I have calculated countless things, I have made countless plans, I have killed countless people, I have destroyed heaven and earth, I have become the emperor of mankind, and I have shouldered the fate of the human race... But what can I choose? Who has ever asked for my opinion?"
"No! They will only follow my orders and fight! Even if I ask them to die, even if I ask them to sacrifice themselves, they will only smile and give their lives to me, letting me carry their beliefs and lives forward!"
Fuxi's eyes were red, and he no longer had the calmness he had before: "I remember their names, all the people who died because of me!"
"So, even if my sister is sacrificed, what's wrong with that? No one will say anything, because in their opinion, all of this is natural. Gu will not have any objection, Jun will not have any objection, the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti Jieyin, Jehovah Odin Zeus and others will not have any objection either, because this is the path they have taken all the way, because sacrifice is valuable, and this is how we humans win the final victory through sacrifice—"
"Wrong."
Amidst Fuxi's roar, Nong's voice remained calm: "The human race has always achieved victory through sacrifice."
"But if there is anything I have learned from my travels over the years, it is that no sacrifice is justified, and no victory is worth sacrificing others for."
Hearing Nong's words that were heretical and contrary to the history of the human race and the way the human race won, Fuxi's brain couldn't help but freeze for a moment: "But..."
"I won't say so many big words, but you should know that the person you may choose to sacrifice is not just your sister, but also a living life that I tried my best to save. As a doctor, I will not give up on any patient."
"If you don't believe that Nuwa can overcome her own destiny, how can you overcome Gu's Dao?"
Compared with Fuxi's words, Nong's words can be said to be plain and simple, but they have a kind of resounding heaviness: "So, what you cannot save, I will save; what you cannot do, I will do."
"How vast is the multiverse? Although the Great Desolation Continent is huge, it is just a drop in the ocean. Who can say that they can understand all the mysteries of this world? Even if I have to travel throughout the multiverse, I will definitely find a way to save Nuwa."
After saying this, Nong took a step forward and strode towards the exit. Only then did Fuxi wake up as if from a dream and shouted, "Wait! Why are you doing this! What did you mean by what you just said--"
"Do you still need to ask?"
Facing Fuxi's question, Nong did not stop, but turned around and smiled at the young man who was the luck of the human race and shouldered a lot, but because of this he neglected to focus on the person he loved most and loved the most around him: "Because of sacrifice--"
"It's a shortcut." (End of this chapter)
