Chapter 1087: Great Qin King (3)

Outside.

Eastrift Valley.

The human Invincibles were still gathered there. Things had been very tense as of late so most of the Invincibles were forced to keep watch over there. Once again, they talked about Su Yu.

Silk Destroying King, who had just arrived from the Human Realm, exclaimed with admiration, "How incredible. It's the tenth day. That kid is still alive. I'm very impressed. Looks like the major races are going to start crying again. How many Sunmoons have they lost so far?"

The number of losses was already approaching what they would lose in battles over a period of decades. Of course, this only referred to the official numbers. Those who were killed in assassinations were not counted.

Great Ming King smiled, "Su Yu alone has probably caused as many Sunmoons to die as any of us. Don't forget about the Sunmoons he schemed to death back in the Human Realm as well. He is starting to catch up with us Eternals in terms of kill count alone."

Not far away, someone indifferently said, "Killing Sunmoons does not mean anything. An Invincible's worth does not lie in the number of Sunmoons killed. Instead, an Invincible's greatest function is a deterrent. If we really want to, we can kill as many Sunmoons as we want."

Great Ming King grinned, "Is that so? How about ten Xia Longwu and ten Ye Batian? Will you kill them or will they kill you?"

"..."

This guy was being ridiculous. The Invincible decided to ignore Great Ming King. That fellow was being argumentative. He was talking about regular Sunmoons, not those two. If that fellow wanted to talk about them, he might as well talk about those on the Dao Affirmation Ranking as well.

Soon, Great Ming King's smile faded as he said, "Everyone, are we going to keep watching? The myriad races have been trying to kill him repeatedly. Meanwhile, humanity has been ignoring that repeatedly. Is this proper? The first time it happened, we used the excuse that we weren't able to arrive in time. The second time it happened, we claimed that we couldn't help. What excuse are we going to use next?"

He sighed, "Has the human race...fallen this low?"

That sigh of his caused the hearts of some Invincibles to tremble. Yes. Su Yu was still not dead. He was still alive, but humanity was ignoring his fate. The myriad races were watching.

Again and again, they targeted Su Yu. Apart from Great Xia King and Great Ming King, nobody had helped. Humanity could only watch helplessly. What of their reputation? Did they still have any prestige left?

Silence descended.

After a short while, Great Ming King laughed again, "So be it. Let's see what will happen next. Let's see how long Su Yu can last before dying. No matter how many Sunmoons he kills, it will have nothing to do with us. After all, he can no longer be considered a human anymore, right? Yeap. We need to stop viewing him as a human. Let's expel him officially. From now on, he won't be a human. We can continue doing this in the future. The moment one of our geniuses attracts the attention of the myriad races, we can expel them as well. Maybe we should expel people like Xia Longwu and the others as well. Kick them all out and embrace peace."

"Great Ming King, it's not that we don't want to help. But—"

"But we don't have the ability to help?" Great Ming King laughed, "Yes, I understand. Don't worry. It's not worth losing our experts for a mere Su Yu. He's as good as dead. We need to keep this tradition. If any of us encounters danger, nobody should try to help. You're going to die anyway so you might as well die without causing us further losses, right? Right, if anyone attempts to affirm their dao in the future, they can probably pray they get lucky. We should not help. If they're going to die, they die. It's not worth risking Invincibles for someone fated to die. Why bother?"

Great Ming King grinned, "From now on, let's expel any human in trouble. They are going to die anyway. We can't risk anything saving them since that might cause more deaths. It's not worth it. When a human army loses a battle, just let them be. They will die anyway. Just let them die. Don't risk higher casualties to help them. If the Human Realm is under invasion, let it be. We can't fight. That might cause further casualties. It's not worth it.

"Am I getting this right? As long as we think it's not worth it, we can ignore it. This is correct, right? Is anyone going to tell me I'm wrong?"

He was helpless. This was all he could do. He could only show that the humans could still kill. They were totally helpless. He could do nothing else. He had to keep watch over the borders.

As for Su Yu, he could only apologize inwardly. He was too helpless to change anything. He couldn't do anything. The entire humanity was on his shoulders. Millions upon millions of lives were on his shoulders. He didn't know what to feel.

He had been keeping watch over this place for over four hundred years. He had never felt so helpless before. No, this was the second time he was feeling so helpless. The first time he experienced such helplessness was during Ye Batian's death. At that time, he was caught by complete surprise.

But this time, it wasn't surprising at all. Su Yu had been trapped in the city for quite some time. This entire thing had dragged on for over a month. Even Topsoil Spirit had been unsealed yet Su Yu was still there.

That was more than enough time for these human Invincibles to make a trip there. But Su Yu was still there. He was still trapped and surrounded by enemies. Even though Great Qin King could easily kill all those Sunmoons, he still couldn't do anything. He felt extremely helpless.

Shutting his eyes, he prayed that this was the last time he felt so helpless. He hoped that this would never happen again.

During Xia Longwu's dao affirmation...

His spear would taste blood once again.

Great Qin King told himself that they could no longer afford to step back. There was no longer any path behind them. If they took another step back, the little bit of fight humanity still had would evaporate away.

Behind him, some Invincibles remained taciturn, some remained sullen, some were feeling incredibly murderous, and some were completely indifferent.

When one of the Invincibles tried to move, Great Qin King's frosty voice rang out, "Do not move. Do not leave. Do not send any messages. Do not use the index copy. Nobody can leave before the Silkwyrn Realm is destroyed. Otherwise...I wouldn't mind staining our war banner with the blood of some human Invincibles."

If news of their operation leaked, the four Invincibles they sent might end up surrounded and killed. As of this moment, Great Qin King was fully revealing the little bit of distrust he had toward his fellow human Invincibles.

Silence.

Nobody said a single word.

An unprecedented silence descended.

The backbone of humanity.

The strongest human.

Great Qin King.

He had finally ripped the curtain of denial everyone was hiding behind apart.

He was making one thing clear. There was a traitor among humans. There was a traitor among the human Invincibles. The traitor could be one of them. Great Qin King made it clear that he wouldn't mind killing that person. If that person was exposed.

That was his stand. If he found out who the traitor was, he would not hesitate to kill. He was no longer ignoring it. He was no longer feigning ignorance. He was no longer trying to preserve the number of human Invincibles through compromise.
