858 The Selfishness of Humanity

Therefore, in the end, the so-called Heaven Mending Goddess was just a dream Meng Tianzheng had when he was young.

Perhaps it was a beautiful dream that the young man could not have, or perhaps it was because of the unrealized ideals of the Heaven Mending Goddess that he lived for year after year.

How could he not understand that once she accepted this inheritance, it would be a great fortune for many people?

However, to a true genius, it was a fatal shackle.

What was trapped was a lifelong ideal.

Therefore, he had never forced anyone to fight for this position. If you had a better position, you could fight for it. However, if you didn't, then this path was clearly the only shortcut. It was your only hope of becoming an Immortal.

No one knew better than him how difficult it was to become an Immortal. There was only so much immortal energy in the world, and there were very few opportunities to become an Immortal.

It was extremely difficult to carve out a bloody path among tens of thousands of people and fight for the fortune of heaven and earth. Otherwise, why would they say that every powerhouse who could become an Immortal King had stepped on the corpses of ten million people?

The world was just so cruel! In the waves of times, most people were following the flow.

Those who were slightly lucky could barely reach the shore. Those who were unlucky would be drowned in the waves and buried.

At this moment, he was looking at Lian Feng, his eyes filled with regret. This was his most favored successor and the disciple with the highest chance of passing the test.

But now, she told him that she wanted to give up on the test and walk the path that truly belonged to her.

Meng Tianzheng fell silent. He looked at Lian Feng for a long time and finally said, "Child, have you really thought it through?" He did not blame Lian Feng, but the disappointment in his heart was already expressed on his face.

Lian Feng looked at his disappointed gaze and blamed herself incomparably. Meng Tianzheng had always been a good master in all of their hearts. When many people were confused and at a loss, he was the one silently guiding and reminding them.

He had never thought of obtaining anything. His selfless dedication affected all the disciples of the Heaven Mending Divine Mountain.

This was also the reason why so many people respected, loved, and defended him to the death.

Lian Feng was incomparably conflicted. She knew very well that her decision today was extremely cruel to Meng Tianzheng. She was selfish. For her future, she chose to let Meng Tianzheng down.

Thinking about how the First Elder had done so much in the past, could she really bear to let him down?

She fell silent! For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

Ye Qiu silently watched all of this. He knew that the current Lian Feng needed his encouragement and support. In essence, no matter what kind of mental state a person reached, one flaw that was unavoidable was selfishness.

Everyone was very selfish, and so was Lian Feng. She could choose to let Meng Tianzheng down for her future.

Meng Tianzheng was the same. He had an unachievable dream that swept so many people into this silent vortex, hoping that one day, they would become the new Heaven Mending Goddess. He did not want Lian Feng to give up. He hoped that Lian Feng could continue to carry his faith.

Ye Qiu was also selfish! He didn't want Lian Feng to sacrifice her future and her path because of her soft heart.

He hoped that she would still accompany him on the path in the future.

Ye Qiu was also selfish.

In this conversation, it was as if the ugliness of human nature was completely displayed.

No one was right or wrong. No matter which choice they made, it was painful.

In the silence, Lian Feng's eyes were filled with confusion. She could not face Meng Tianzheng's question, nor could she answer his question. Just as she didn't know what to do, a warm hand held her hand. She turned around and saw Ye Qiu looking at her with an incomparably firm gaze.

His eyes seemed to be saying that no matter what decision you make, I will support you.

At this moment, Lian Feng seemed to have gained a trace of courage to face this problem. Between choices, she chose the selfishness of human nature. After a while, she said with an incomparably firm tone, "First Elder, I'm sorry… I… am giving up."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Tianzheng seemed to have aged a lot. With a bitter smile, he did not blame anyone. He was only doubting himself, as if he had denied all his previous efforts.

"Haha!" No one knew what Meng Tianzheng was thinking at this moment. After a long silence, he suddenly laughed as if he had gotten over it.

"First Elder." Seeing him suddenly laugh, Daoist Tianfeng thought that he had gone crazy. He was instantly furious. He pointed at Ye Qiu and Lian Feng and said angrily, "Impudent…"

Just as he was about to say something, Meng Tianzheng suddenly reached out and interrupted, "Alright, this matter ends here."

"First Elder…" Ye Qiu couldn't bear to see Meng Tianzheng so dejected. He walked forward and was about to comfort him.

Meng Tianzheng suddenly changed the topic and teased him, "Haha, brat, it's fine if you didn't come back, but you gave me such a big surprise the moment you did. Why didn't you die in the Grand Primordium Mine?"

These words made Ye Qiu choke.

"Ahem, old man, this has nothing to do with me, right? I just haven't seen you for a long time. I missed you so much that I specially came to see you. What does this have to do with me?"

Ye Qiu displayed his shameless ability to the limit. He didn't even call him First Elder and directly called him Old Man.

Meng Tianzheng laughed. Compared to the rigid way he interacted with the others, he preferred Ye Qiu's eclectic style. When the others faced him, most of them were trembling and careful. They did not look like young people at all.

On this point, he admired Ye Qiu even more. Moreover, no one knew better than him how much potential Ye Qiu had.

Because he was the greatest pusher behind Ye Qiu. Perhaps Ye Qiu didn't know that the reason why he could survive and grow smoothly was related to this kind-looking old man in front of him.

"You miss me? You'll be considered merciful if you don't anger me to death. Count for yourself. Ever since you entered the divine mountain, you've caused so much trouble. Which time wasn't I the one who settled it for you?"

Speaking of this, Ye Qiu really didn't know. He looked at Meng Tianzheng in a daze. He didn't seem to be lying. That meant that he had really done a lot. It was just that he had been behind the scenes and no one knew.

Thinking about it carefully, Ye Qiu had caused many troubles, but many things didn't ferment in the end. Could it be that someone had suppressed them?

And this person was Meng Tianzheng?

"Hehe… The capable do more work. You're almost moldy from staying here every day. I'm just thinking about how to give you something to do." Ye Qiu said shamelessly. Meng Tianzheng was furious when he heard this.

I really thank you.
