In the underground hall.
After Fang ping said that, he fell silent.
The others also fell silent.
After an unknown period of time, Fang ping suddenly burst out laughing.
Everyone looked at each other. Did this guy really suffer a huge blow?
"Fang ping ..."
Li Changsheng's face was full of worry.
Fang ping raised his head to look at him and smiled,"I'm fine, instructor. I'm really fine!" In fact, I've already thought it through. It's war after all, and people die. I just thought of something very interesting ..."
Fang ping said slowly,"I'm thinking that the catacombs martial artists can be resurrected, and the ancient martial artists can be resurrected." It doesn't make sense that the martial artists of the new martial era can't do it!"
Fang ping continued to smile,"I was thinking that after a few years, old Huang and the others will be resurrected and suddenly become children." It would be fine if he didn't have any memories, but if he did, wouldn't it be interesting?
I was still thinking, if people like the old principal were to be resurrected and become women ... Would it be more interesting?
At that time, if his memory was also restored ... That would be even more interesting!
I'm still thinking, old Huang has reincarnated as a man and has taken a fancy to the old principal's reincarnated woman ... Isn't that more interesting?
Hahaha ... Interesting, I'm looking forward to it!"
Everyone looked at each other. Was this guy crazy?
Fang ping was not crazy. Instead, he said very seriously, "It's true! If they can all be resurrected, there's no reason we can 't! I'm only thinking about one thing now. What are the conditions to recover my memory?
"When the catacombs humans die, they can be resurrected by paying a price. They can be resurrected directly!
That meant that humans could actually do it too!
And what was the key point?
It's the seed of resurrection!"
At this moment, Fang Ping's eyes were exceptionally bright. If he could find the seed of resurrection, would he be able to do it? The reason why the catacombs martial artists could do it, according to the Minister, was because after they died, their natural source would completely return.
When humans died, a part of their origin seemed to have been intercepted. What was it?
The seed of resurrection!
Perhaps, if the seed of rebirth was destroyed and the origin was released, then humans could actually pay a huge price and be directly resurrected!
In this way, today's death was nothing!
"The premise is that we can win. We must defeat the catacombs in the war and find the seed of resurrection. We must end the war and revive them in a peaceful era!"
Fang ping continued,"furthermore, a direct recovery would require a huge price. Endless life essence and imperishable substances. And this ... Requires the resources of the catacombs!
Therefore, they had to win the war!
"Take down the catacombs, seize everything, revive the powerhouses who died in battle today, and perhaps even the weak!"
Zhang Tao's eyes flickered as he slowly said,""It might not be impossible!"
"I'm right!"
Fang ping chuckled and said,"so, no matter what, we still have to win!" How did the powerhouses of the catacombs encourage those people to go through fire and water? It was to tell them that they could be resurrected once they took down earth!
"And if we take down the catacombs, can't we do the same?"
Fang ping laughed again,"alright, I understand!" Then let old Huang and the others sleep for a while. When they wake up, world peace is a good thing!"
Fang ping heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up and smiled. "Let's take a look at the principal and the others first. Don't let them fall into a deep sleep. "
"Also ..."
At this point, Fang ping paused. His tone returned to normal, and he said,"Minister, you chose to rescue Kyoto and save me. I should actually thank you.
"For me, you paragons risked your lives. I have no reason not to be grateful. Instead, I blame you. If that's the case, I, Fang ping, will be an ungrateful Wolf.
But ..."
Fang ping paused for a moment. Old man Li looked at him, frowning slightly.
Fang Ping's expression was calm as he said,"you saved me. This is a favor. I'll remember it."
"But you didn't save mcmau, you saved capital city. From your perspective, it's the same no matter who you save!
But from my point of view, it's different!
I'd rather Jingdu be defeated than demonic city!
"Let's not talk about you guys. I don't actually owe the rank-9s who went to capital city catacombs to participate in the battle this time. On the contrary, they owe me!
"A lot of people actually owe me, but they gave up on mcmau without any doubt. In the future, I will only take care of my small family, not everyone!
"In the past, although I said that I was powerful, in reality, I was biased towards mcmau. However, the resources that I obtained were actually distributed according to my needs, not based on a close relationship!
"My life essence, divine weapon, imperishable substance ... Have I given all of them to mcmau?
"Can't the low-and middle-ranked martial artists in mcmau use it?
"Is there really no way to increase mcmau's combat power again?
"I didn't choose to do so. Instead, I gave half of my divine weapons to those powerhouses because I knew they needed them more and could use them more!
"But now, they've chosen to give up on mcmau. I, Fang ping, will never do such a thing again. I'll make mcmau stronger, not them!
I'm very selfish, I don't deny this, but I still choose to continue being selfish, even more selfish!"
Zhang Tao frowned slightly, and old man Li wanted to say something but stopped.
Fang ping laughed again."I'm probably not wrong. For example, at the auction last time, I gave away those divine weapons half-sold and half-gifted! For example, the Battle of the South, the battle of the Forbidden City ...
"Yes, those grandmasters said that we are also fighting a bloody battle for the sake of mankind!
"I admire them, but I still can't accept that no Grandmaster will come to mcmau's aid in this battle!
"You, commander li, and the rest are looking at the big picture, but it's not as if there's no room for discussion where the grandmasters choose to go. If multiple grandmasters, including the grandmasters, had decided to come to mcmau to participate in the war, then this would not have happened!
"I don't blame them, but don't expect me to consider their interests and not mcmau's interests like before!"
Fang ping said indifferently,"I have divine weapons. I'll give them to mcmau's middle-ranked martial artists first. The same goes for the imperishable substance and life essence! Because they were willing to fight for mcmau!
"If I had done this earlier, mcmau might have had more grandmasters."
"It's just my personal choice. "Zhang Tao didn't mind and said with a faint smile. "However, war does not depend on one person. Fang ping, when you've reached my level, you'll know that sometimes, this kind of choice is actually very difficult to make.
Of course, when that time comes, you might have some different thoughts. "
"That's still in the future, not the present!"
Fang ping said firmly,"initially, when I came back this time, I wanted to have a family reunion. I wanted everyone to be happy!" "I, Fang ping, may not be that strong or that outstanding, but I have always believed that the strength of others will bring me more returns!
I was thinking that I would be safer with one more Paragon among the humans!
"I'm thinking that with one more rank-9, mankind's chances of victory will be greater!
"But now, I'm thinking that it's better to rely on myself than on others. Even if I have to help others, I should help those who are closer to me.
Minister, your choice may seem right to you, but is it really the right choice?
"You've given up on mcmau. Perhaps you've given up on the hope of having another Paragon, like now ... I was initially thinking that the Vice-Chancellor has walked out of his own path of origin, instructor li has his own path of origin, and mcmau doesn't have any other rank-9s. Some of the things I've obtained should be better given to others!"
"For example ... Guardian Zhang, who is about to reach the peak, and Grandmaster Kong, who has hopes of reaching the peak ..."
As Fang ping spoke, a pair of gloves appeared in his hands. He said slowly,"But now, I feel that we can use this to restore the principal's origin Dao. I don't know if it's possible, but I'd rather waste it on the principal than sacrifice it for someone else to become stronger!"
Zhang Tao looked at the gloves and sighed after a long time."True King's origin inheritance! I didn't expect that profound Jade monarch had already left behind her inheritance. This is beyond my expectations. "
Fang ping gritted his teeth and said,"I didn't expect it either!" If the principal wasn't injured, he wouldn't have chosen another path. But now, I can only let him try!"
Fang ping looked at Zhang Tao and asked,"department head, can this save the principal?"
Zhang Tao muttered,"perhaps. This is the entire Dao of origin inheritance of a true king. If true king profound Jade did not die, then this would actually be an absolute art. However, he is dead. This is his Dao! But ..."
At this moment, Zhang Tao had a headache. He slowly said,""But it might be a waste! "Wu kuishan's origin Dao has been damaged, but it's hard to determine how much damage it has sustained. If the two paths clash, it could lead to Wu kuishan's death and profound Jade true King's origin Dao crumbling."
"I'm willing to give it a try!"Fang ping said, unconcerned.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't agree?"
Zhang Tao took a look at the gloves in his hands and said slowly,""If I didn't agree and took the gloves away, what would you do?"
"I can't do anything,"
"This might be related to the birth of a Paragon. From my point of view, it's a waste to give it to Wu kuishan. It's better to give it to a martial artist who has a chance of reaching Paragon, or simply to a weak rank-9. Perhaps it's better to let the other party walk the path of true king profound Jade."
"What do you think I should do?" Zhang Tao sighed.
Fang ping said,"you can take it. If you take it, we won't owe each other anything anymore!" "I will no longer owe the Minister anything, or you can take anything you like from Fang ping!
"If these external objects can help Fang ping break away from his feelings, I'll only feel at ease.
I admire you, even worship you, and am grateful to you ...
I've always felt that a Paragon like you is the true backbone of mankind. I hold you in high regard, so high that I feel that disrespecting you is equivalent to betraying mankind!
And all of this stems from the fact that I feel that you are a human, a living human with feelings and regrets, and not a Supreme expert!
"If there's only the big picture in your eyes and you think that you can sacrifice everyone and everything for the big picture, then you're no longer the hero that I, Fang ping, idolize the most. Perhaps you're still in the eyes of others, but not in my eyes!"
"So you're saying that if I take this pair of gloves away today, you and I might fall out?" Zhang Tao chuckled.
"I won 't,"
Fang ping said calmly,"I won't fall out with you because of this, because you're doing this for the big picture!" "In the future, you will be the backbone and leader of humanity, but you will no longer be my senior! It's that simple!"
"On one hand, it's possible to have another Paragon. On the other hand, it's to become your senior, Fang ping ..."
"What do you think I should do?" Zhang Tao chuckled.
"I don't know."
Fang ping shook his head and said,"but don't worry, Minister. I won't be resentful and betray humanity because of this. You can't represent all of humanity! If I have the ability, I will continue to fight until we win the war!"
"Are you trying to checkmate me ..."
Zhang Tao laughed and looked at li Changsheng and the others. He said slowly,"What do you guys think I should do?"
Old man Li replied impatiently,"how would I know?!" "Make your own judgment. You can either bet that Fang ping will be more useful than a Paragon in the future, or you can bet that it's better to have another Paragon now. Maybe Fang ping has no chance of growing to a Paragon at all!
It's hard for him to even step into the Dao of the essence. In my opinion, you should just take the glove and find someone who has the potential to reach the apex to train!"
"Are you trying to provoke me?"
Zhang Tao laughed again."You're unhappy too. You also think that this time, perhaps we should let someone else come to mcmau's rescue, right?"
"No, I didn 't!"
Old man Li shook his head."If I was the one who died, I wouldn't have thought so much. Actually, I think I should've died a long time ago. But I'm not the one who's going to die, it's old Huang, and now old Wu might die as well!
I'd be very unhappy if you gave up on old Wu because you wanted to take the gloves away. Of course, I'd be even more unhappy!"
"If you're dissatisfied, will you continue to fight for humanity?"
"Of course!"
Old man Li frowned and said,"we're not fighting the catacombs for you guys!" You're the leader, but not the master! "You're conquering the catacombs for the sake of humanity's survival. We're the same! "Then, conquering the catacombs and continuing the battle will not be because of your orders!
If it was only because of your orders, there wouldn't be so many martial artists today who would go through fire and water to fight to the last moment!"
"A leader ... Shouldn't have personal feelings."
Zhang Tao sighed. He looked at Fang ping and said softly,"If you want to be a leader, you can't be too emotional. When necessary, you have to sacrifice even your family! "Fang ping, do you understand what I mean?"
Fang ping was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said,"I understand, but I don't want to be such a leader!" No, maybe I'm only suitable to be the leader of a small group, not a selfless leader!
Minister, perhaps you have misunderstood. I said that I am the leader of the younger generation, the future leader. Perhaps you took it seriously, but that doesn't mean that I really think so!
You may think that I really want to become someone like you, but you are wrong. I don't want to!
If there comes a day when I have to choose between the big picture and my family ... I feel that the possibility of me choosing my family is greater ... No, very, very great, more than 90%!"
Fang ping raised his head and looked at Zhang Tao. He said seriously,"If you want to train me to be your successor, then there's no need. Actually, strictly speaking ... I've been lying to everyone all along!
Iron head and the others think that I'm a Celestial Emperor. Maybe they think so, or maybe they're just trying to hypnotize themselves, but they really do treat me as a leader, a Savior-like figure!
But I'm not!
Everything I do is for myself, not for anyone else!
If you think that I really want to be a leader just because I said so, then you're wrong!
"I'm just bragging and bluffing everyone. I'm saying that I'm going to lead the humans to defeat the earth cave ... I have such an idea, but it's not for the humans, but for myself!"
Zhang Tao took a deep look at him and said with a smile,""At every stage, people have different thoughts and methods. When you've truly reached that step, you'll realize that everything is different.
When I was young, I never thought that I would be the Savior of the world, the leader of humanity.
At that time, all I wanted was to survive, but when I reached this stage, my thoughts naturally changed. "
"At least I haven't changed!"
"That's just what you think. You think you're doing it for yourself. However, in the eyes of many people, you're the leader of the new generation. If you, Fang ping, give up and give up, perhaps the entire new generation will give up and become dispirited. Do you really think you can escape all of this?"
"I don't have that kind of ability or prestige!"
"I know," "You think you're just playing and pretending," Zhang Tao said with a faint smile."But when you pretend to be strong, that you're omnipotent, that you're selfless ... In fact, you've already done all of this!"
Zhang Tao laughed and said,"the scary thing about people is not their pretense. It's when you pretend to make everyone believe you. At that time, you'll realize that ... You can't escape!"
"You said that you're not the celestial Emperor. Perhaps li Hansong and the others know that it's fake. However, when you've put on an act until the end, even a fake can be real!"
As Zhang Tao spoke, he looked at li Hansong who was beside him and said playfully,"If today, the real Celestial Emperor returns, and I mean if there's really such a person, and you know that li Hansong is the real one, between him and Fang ping, who would you choose?"
"Fang ping!" Li Hansong said drily.
"Did you hear that?" Zhang Tao laughed. "Fang ping, sometimes, people don't really have the choice to make."
Fang ping laughed in spite of himself and quickly said,"Department head, I don't want to think about this right now. I just want to know if you're going to take the gloves or use them to save the principal."
Zhang Tao casually took the gloves, rubbed them for a moment, and sighed."Maybe something went wrong this time, or maybe you knew what you were doing. I underestimated you.
"I think you're being unscrupulous. Maybe you've overestimated me. You think I'll help you finish everything because you think that everything you do will end up more important than everything I've done ..."
Zhang Tao's words were a bit of a tongue twister, but Fang ping nodded and said,"Not bad! That's what I was thinking! "I feel that everything I do is within my control. The final reward will be greater than the cost, so I did it!
But I didn't expect that you would choose to give up. You felt that it wasn't worth it. Perhaps I overestimated myself. "
Zhang Tao ignored him. He looked at Wu kuishan and mumbled,"Profound Jade true King's origin Dao is still considered complete. It was hard to tell if his essence Dao had been completely destroyed or if there were some remnants left.
If a conflict were to occur, the chances of his death would be very, very high!
"Fang ping, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Are you sure you don't want to take the gloves?"
"Now that things have come to this, I can only bet on you one more time!"
Zhang Tao sighed."Having one more Paragon might not change anything. But having a grandson with some ability might save his life in the future. After thinking about it, it's better to have one more grandson."
Fang Ping's expression did not change. He shook his head and said,"I'm not a grandson!"
"As you wish."
Zhang Tao smiled and said,"but I'm not taking the gloves. I still have to give you some things." Don't think that I'll really forget about it just because you goaded me into it. "
"It doesn't matter what you think, or whether you should help others or not. That's your opinion. I have my own opinion, too." Zhang Tao smiled. Since you're using the true king's unique skill as a reward, even if I don't want the true king's unique skill, I'll have to pay the corresponding price.
10,000 catties of energy stones, 5 tons!
"This is the price we have to pay for fighting the true Kings of the catacombs for you!
" 2000 catties of energy stones. I'm Wu kuishan's Dao protector. It's extremely dangerous to use the true king's Secret art to stimulate his origin Dao. This matter is not simple. Although Wu kuishan was injured on duty, he's now equivalent to a dead person. Saving the dead is actually an extra effort.
"Also, you guys lost magic City catacombs, and all of this was caused by you guys taking the initiative to guard Magic City catacombs. Magic City catacombs has always been in our hands. This is our responsibility for losing our land, and we also have to pay the price. We'll charge you 3000 catties of energy stones!
"Of course, it's not for free. If mcmau still wants to take back magic City catacombs, all the divisions will give their full support after this.
"However, you'll have to pay an even greater price and sacrifice if you want to take back a catacombs that has already been lost. Take this as paying for your mistake!"
"A total of 15000 catties of energy stones, rank-9!"
Zhang Tao had a faint smile on his face. Beside him, old man Li snorted,"You might as well go and dig mcmau's energy mine! I'll give it all to you! Looting a burning house, huh? "Mcmau is responsible for the current situation, but you're not?
"You're mcmau's direct leader. You're the one who left Magic City catacombs in the lurch and did nothing to save them. Now, you still have the face to ask for these?"
"Why wouldn't I have the face to take it?" Zhang Tao said indifferently. "I gave it my all, but you guys insisted on taking charge of Magic city's catacombs. I didn't force you. In the end, Magic city's catacombs, which we haven't lost for more than 60 years, ended up in your hands ..."
"That's because you leaders are incompetent!"
"Li Changsheng, you still have to live with your conscience." Zhang Tao sighed."Sometimes, there's nothing we can do. Mcmau took the initiative to provoke the catacombs powerhouses time and time again. In the end, it caused chaos. You can't just push all the blame on me."
Old man Li frowned and said,"even so, we can't just take away mcmau's last asset now!" "Mcmau wants to fight their way back to Magic City catacombs. Without the mineral veins, the progress of their strength will be slow. How are we going to fight back?"
"That's also paying for your own expenses!"
"Of course, if we really run out of resources, the martial arts universities will still allocate the funds according to the previous allocation. Don't worry, mcmau won't starve to death!" Zhang Tao said.
" 5000 Jin!"
"That won't do ..."
" 8000 Jin. If you want more, you can just kill old Wu yourself. We don't care anymore! It doesn't make sense to spend money to save him. You might as well kill him and end it all!"
Zhang Tao sighed and said,"forget it, forget it. Let's not talk about Wu kuishan. 13000 catties ..."
At the side, Fang ping said impatiently,"save him first!" "It's just 15000 catties of energy stones. If the Vice-Chancellor and the others are alive, what's energy stones to them!"
After saying that, Fang ping tossed it casually, and the entire Hall was filled with energy stones in an instant!
Fang ping did not even look at it. He said,"saving the Vice-Chancellor is much better than these worldly possessions. The leader of the absolute beginning realm still can't see through this even now!" Minister, sometimes you really lack something, but maybe this is what you call a real living person and not the legendary true God. "
