#1817 - The principle of forcing the king! - Death Reward Artifact! All the players in the server begged me not to die

"In other words, in the eyes of cultivators in the Third Heaven, the status of mortals is only slightly higher than that of pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep raised in captivity," Ji Dongfeng said.

Lu Chengsheng, upon hearing this, said in a deep voice, "I have heard about what you did on Taiping Island. I dare to ask, why do you think the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heavens Sect let you handle the Taiping Island matter? The Myriad Ancient Soaring Heavens Sect already knew what happened on Taiping Island, but they did not stop it, nor did they offer a word of dissuasion."

"The reason is simple, they don't care. Saving those common mortals is something that can be done, or not done. When doing things in the Third Heaven, you can't rely entirely on a burst of passion. Here, every move must consider benefits. This is the long-term way for cultivators. Letting you save them is simply because they think letting you do this insignificant thing is more beneficial than harmful to the Myriad Ancient Soaring Heavens Sect."

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this, recalling what Hu Banshan had said to him on Taiping Island.

"The Myriad Ancient Soaring Heavens Sect in the First Heaven can stand up for mortals, even sacrificing their own interests to protect them, but in the Third Heaven, mortals have become tools for captivity... Interests... the sect's interests..." Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice.

"Kid, be more mature. You are now a disciple of the Heavenly Dao. Think carefully about why the Heavenly Dao gave you this task. The higher you go, the less you can charge recklessly. If you want to go further, you must think longer and more comprehensively," Ying Long said.

"The Third Heaven can still see mortals, but by the Fifth Heaven, you won't even see a single mortal. You have to think about what you truly want to protect."

Ji Dongfeng frowned slightly upon hearing this, and turned his head to look at the villagers not far away.

"These mortals have nothing to do with me. When they roared at me just now, I even felt a little disgusted with them. I can be sure that in that instant, they were not the beings I truly wanted to protect..." Ji Dongfeng said.

The next moment, just as Lu Chengsheng was about to speak, they heard a roar from the side. The soundproofing formation was not bidirectional.

"Immortal, please! Revive my child! I am willing to be your slave!"

Ji Dongfeng turned his head upon hearing this and found that the speaker was none other than Chen Ye.

"Interesting, everyone else is trapped by the killing intent and cannot speak, but you were able to break through the killing intent and speak," Ji Dongfeng said, looking Chen Ye up and down. He found that Chen Ye was covered in blood and trembling, although his face showed fear, his eyes were full of determination, completely different from the surrounding villagers.

Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred, and he walked out of the formation, came to Chen Ye, and said, "Why do you think I can revive your child?"

"I... I don't know... But looking at the appearance of the great god over there, you should be at a higher realm... I... I'm just trying my luck," Chen Ye said.

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon hearing this. He looked around and found that Chen Ye's state of mind was completely different from the other villagers. This person was kind-hearted, and all he thought about was reviving his family.

"Tell me your story," Ji Dongfeng said.

"I... I live in Donghai Village, relying on each other with my wife. Half a year ago, my wife gave birth to a young son, but the young son died prematurely, and my wife also had a serious illness. Although she recovered later, she suffered from chronic ailments, and her mind was often恍惚. She spends all day at home holding a doll and whispering. I have no other way, so I can only beg the gods day and night..." Chen Ye said.

"What is your young son's name?" Ji Dongfeng asked.

"Chen Huan," Chen Ye said.

Ji Dongfeng took out the Butterfly Whisper Mirror from his exclusive space upon hearing this.

"Take this and think of Chen Huan," Ji Dongfeng said.

Chen Ye was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then took the Butterfly Whisper Mirror tremblingly, and silently recited Chen Huan's name.

"Buzz..."

The next moment, the Butterfly Whisper Mirror trembled slightly, and a baby about half a year old appeared on it. At this moment, the baby was crying loudly, and the baby's information also appeared next to him.

"Netherworld Hong Tree, First Heaven, Myriad Dynasty City, Wang Mengkong."

"This is..." Chen Ye's pupils trembled, and two lines of hot tears flowed down his cheeks. He recognized at a glance that this baby was Chen Huan.

"Chen Huan has already entered reincarnation and is living well in the First Heaven. Looking at him, he may even have the possibility of cultivating immortality," Ji Dongfeng smiled.

"In other words... Huan'er has no possibility of being revived... Well... that's good too. It's good to be reincarnated as a human being. I hope he is born into a good family... a good family..." Chen Ye murmured.

Ji Dongfeng said in a deep voice upon hearing this, "Are you willing to take your wife to live in a quiet place? I know a place called Dongfang Island. I don't think your original village will tolerate you anymore."

Chen Ye looked at Ji Dongfeng upon hearing this, nodded, and said, "Thank you, Immortal..."

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon seeing this, as if he had opened a knot in his heart, and turned his head to look at Lu Chengsheng.

"Can you please help me send them to Dongfang Island?" Ji Dongfeng said.

Lu Chengsheng quickly said upon hearing this, "Of course, no problem."

"You seem to have figured something out," Qingfeng said.

Ji Dongfeng smiled and said upon hearing this, "Yes, I understand. I don't need to worry too much. What I want to protect is not mortals, nor cultivators, but the beings that I find pleasing to the eye!"

Ying Long was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then said with a helpless face, "Pleasing to the eye?"

"That's right! It's what I find pleasing to the eye! I don't care if those I don't like are mortals or cultivators, they can do whatever they want, it has nothing to do with me. But for those I find pleasing to the eye, I'm willing to help them. From now on, I won't worry about the various problems between mortals and cultivators anymore. I will only act according to my principles! The principles of the King of Pretenders!" Ji Dongfeng smiled.

"So your principle is... to be pleasing to your eye?" Zhulong said with a wry smile.

"Yes!" Ji Dongfeng smiled.

"These words really don't sound like something the Son of Heavenly Dao would say. If the Heavenly Dao acted according to this principle, I'm afraid few beings in the world would be able to survive," Ying Long said.

Ji Dongfeng chuckled upon hearing this and said, "If the Heavenly Dao could really act according to this principle, the troubles in the world might be reduced by 90%!"

"Ding, congratulations on completing the mission of Acting on Behalf of Heaven..."

The next moment, Ji Yuan's prompt suddenly sounded.

Ji Dongfeng's heart stirred upon hearing this, and he looked up at the sky and smiled, "And now it seems that the Heavenly Dao also thinks there's nothing wrong with my idea."

"It seems that this mission does not have a fixed goal at all. The main purpose of this mission is to make you clarify the thoughts in your heart... But why would the Heavenly Dao do this?" Qingfeng said.

"With the great battle imminent, this kid is destined to experience countless life-and-death situations. The Heavenly Dao hopes that he will not get lost in that bloody storm..."
