Chapter 1979: The Factions Reversed, Old Rivals Meet Again!
After listening to Liu Yidao's words, Mo Bai took a deep breath and said, "I understand what Brother Yidao means."
"To be precise, I understand what the Imperial Tutor means."
"Living in this chaotic world, we must have courage, because only with courage in our hearts can we face all difficulties and obstacles without fear."
"The era of the Desolate Heavenly Emperor is the best proof."
"After having courage, we also need wisdom, because many difficulties require wisdom to solve."
"The era of the Eight Desolations and Nine Domains is the best proof."
"The sages who were born in that era may not have been the strongest, but they were the ones who suffered the most inner torment."
"They were born at the end of the Age of Courage and the beginning of the Age of Wisdom."
"The clash between the different ideas of the two eras put them in a dilemma, but no matter what, they were among the wisest people."
"Because they established a completely new era in the ruins of an era."
"If it weren't for them, when the Dark Turmoil came, the new era would have had very little power to resist it."
"Once the new era falls, all the efforts of everyone will be in vain!"
Looking at Mo Bai, who was speaking eloquently, Liu Yidao seemed to see his younger self.
Because back then, I was just like him, talking big and commenting on the state of the world.
At this moment, Mo Bai paused, looked at Liu Yidao and said in a low voice, "The era of intelligence is over, and what follows is our era of peace."
"And you, Brother Yidao, are also geniuses born in the gap between two eras."
"Peaceful times cannot tolerate your rule-breaking, but the past of the intelligent era is influencing your hearts, so you must be suffering a lot right now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yidao gently stroked the scabbard in his hand and said, "How can I not be tormented?"
"The times we live in now are completely different from the times we lived in before."
"If this were the previous era, we would have already gone to find Chen Xiao and his group to test our skills."
"But now, even if we win against them, we will still be nobodies, or even become great villains that everyone hates."
Ultimately, it's just that the world has changed!
As he spoke, Liu Yidao took out a jade pendant and tossed it to Mo Bai.
Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Mo Bai asked curiously, "What is this?"
"A little gadget I made myself, capable of sensing some underhanded tactics."
"If someone tries to harm you, this jade pendant will react."
"When you were in the black hole, you were almost completely routed by those puppets."
"Actually, those puppets aren't that strong in essence; you just can't guard against some underhanded tactics."
"Having this on you will make you much safer."
After saying that, Liu Yidao jumped down from the rock and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to another place."
"Lu Mingyu and the others have already made their move, we can't fall too far behind."
“You have courage, wisdom, and manners. If you can learn a little bit of cleverness, your generation will be considered successful.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Bai asked curiously, "Where is Brother Yidao planning to go?"
"At Bai Ze's camp, find my second master, the Styx Ancestor, the second most powerful demonic cultivator in the world."
"Although they are from the previous era, these old guys who survived are all incredibly capable."
"Don't be fooled by the flashy and fancy new era we have today; those who understand it the most are still them."
"If we want to get a share of the pie in this era, we still have to consult the older generation."
"Furthermore, if I'm not mistaken, you're probably going to become the spokesperson for us former forbidden land prodigies."
......
A meteorite somewhere in the void.
Arriving at the designated location according to the coordinates, Chen Changsheng had been waiting for a long time.
Looking at the two cups of hot tea on the table, Long Ji and Bie Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally sat down.
"It's been a hundred thousand years since we last met. I hope you two are doing well!"
Seeing Chen Changsheng's expression, Long Ji said, "Using Liu Yidao to force us to come out of seclusion isn't a very clever tactic. I thought you would come to invite us in person."
"I've been quite busy lately, I don't have time to invite them one by one."
"Besides, I sent Liu Yidao not to invite you, but to inform you."
"Be pragmatic, and I might let you live."
"You're out of touch with reality. I'll use your heads as a sacrifice for my flag."
"Om~"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura emanated from Long Ji.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng narrowed his eyes and his voice became stern.
"What, you think you can lay a hand on me?"
"You couldn't do it back then, and you still can't do it now."
"It's one thing to put on airs in front of juniors, but you have no right to do so in front of me."
"boom!"
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng slammed his hand on the table. Long Ji thought for a moment, then ultimately withdrew his oppressive aura.
At this moment, Bie Chen, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
"We are naturally extremely grateful that the Imperial Tutor spared our lives."
"But in the competition of the new era, we are truly willing but unable to compete."
"But we are not content to be mere pawns, so we beg the Imperial Tutor to spare us."
After saying this, Bie Chen gave Chen Changsheng a deep bow.
Looking at Bie Chen, who had his head bowed, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "You're not just willing but unable, you're afraid."
“You are afraid of standing against me again, which is why you refuse to come out of seclusion.”
"But you're wrong. This time, I'm sending you out of seclusion not to make you pawns, nor to exterminate you."
“I brought you out so that you could take a share of the new era.”
Upon hearing this, Bie Chen looked up at Chen Changsheng.
"What right do we have to take a share of the new era?"
"If I say you have it, then you have it!"
"So who is our enemy this time?"
"Your old rivals are now backed by me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a look of surprise flashed in the eyes of both Bie Chen and Long Ji.
Because they never expected the situation to turn out this way.
After calming himself down a bit, Bie Chen straightened up and said, "Senior Imperial Tutor, may I confirm this again?"
"Our opponents this time are not only Chen Xiaojun and his group, but also the Divine Beast lineage and the Pill Era, right?"
"Yes, and it's not just them; the Forbidden Lands might even be on your opposite side."
“In the new era, the share is limited, and everyone wants to have more, but I don’t want to give them too much, so the conflict naturally arises.”
"What's worse is that my old acquaintances are all representatives of these forces, so I have no choice but to use you guys."
"I just don't know if you're confident you can defeat your old rivals as decisively as you have before."
......
