C1424 The cost of human life
One must know that the only reason he came to the island this time was because of this so called curse of the Golden Crow Sword. If he was unable to suppress the curse of the Golden Crow Sword, then he would most likely only have a few months left in his life. Not to mention finding the heart of the continent, he would most likely die before he could even find the heart of the continent.
It's not that we can't help you suppress the curse of the Golden Crow Sword. It's that you can't be like the Infernal King, but once it's the same situation, I can only use it once. Back then, when the Golden Crow Sword's curse was suppressed to exchange for the heart of the continent, it was already used by other great devils. Thus, you could only choose to use another one in exchange. There was a trace of apology on the face of the World Will. Although he had his own will and emotions, he still had to follow the overall will of the world. This was a rule that no one could break.
Even if he destroyed it by force, then the mainland would definitely not approve. If that was the case, then everything he had done would have been in vain.
The words of the will of heaven and earth caused Qin Shaojie's entire face to turn pale. It was clear that he did not expect such an outcome, and his body slightly staggered. One must know that if one was unable to suppress the curse on the Golden Crow Sword, the other so-called exchanges would be completely useless.
If there were any other ways to slow down the curse power of the Golden Crow Sword, then Patriarch Subhuti would have told him earlier. However, since he didn't, it meant that the suppression of the Mandate of Heaven and Earth was the only way. However, this method didn't work, which made it hard for Qin Shaojie to accept for a moment.
Was there any other way? If I am unable to suppress the curse on the Golden Crow Sword, there are many things that I would be powerless to do even if I wanted to.
As his gaze landed on the rusted Golden Crow Sword, a tinge of worry and nervousness appeared on Qin Shaojie's face. Although he had long since known of this possibility, it would still be difficult for him to forget it the moment it truly happened. He had never doubted the power of this Golden Crow Sword's curse, and even the Great Devil King had obediently come in exchange for the suppression of this curse. One could imagine just how powerful this thing was.
Back then when he had obtained the Golden Crow Sword, he only wanted to have the qualifications to battle with the Nine-headed Snake, but who would have thought that this was actually a path of no return. On this path of no loss, he simply could not control himself and could only entrust his fate to the will of heaven and earth.
If he was given enough, Qin Shaojie had absolute reason to believe that he could change everything! He believed that he would be able to grow to a stage where he would be able to shake off or ignore the Golden Crow Sword, but he would not be able to do so because he did not have that much time.
What can you do in a few months? It was impossible to even raise the realm by a tiny bit, let alone turn it into a realm that the curse of the Golden Crow Sword could not suppress.
There is another way. We can use other methods to exchange for it, just like the one with the dragon race. With a slightly serious expression on his face, the will of the world spoke in a deep voice. In order to become a so-called Spirit Master, the middle-aged man of the dragon race had used his freedom as the price and condition for the exchange. The middle-aged man of the dragon race had used his freedom as the price and condition for the exchange.
Currently, Qin Shaojie had also received the approval of the will of heaven and earth. Under these circumstances, he had more chances and more choices.
The suppression from the curse of the Golden Crow Sword was one of his choices.
Hearing this, Qin Shaojie also let out a sigh of relief. He knew that there still seemed to be hope. He remembered very clearly that the middle-aged man from the dragon clan had specifically said that he would not agree to exchange with the will of the world unless it was absolutely necessary. If he could allow that to happen again, he would rather be ordinary for the rest of his life than make that kind of exchange.
At this moment, Qin Shaojie also became cautious and vigilant.
What is the exchange content or price? If it was wealth, martial skills, or pills, then he didn't mind. He could even accept losing a thousand years of his lifespan. However, he had an ominous feeling.
The content and price of an exchange is not fixed, but one of the most basic points is that the exchange must be one of the things you care about the most. On this point, the will of heaven and earth did not hide Qin Shaojie, this was a rule, and the most basic requirement, he could not make things difficult for Qin Shaojie anywhere else, but this rule and principle could not be higher, because this was a rule in itself, and he could not change the rule either.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the will of heaven and earth were to change this rule, it would still be impossible to truly suppress the curse of the Golden Crow Sword.
This world was quite wonderful at times, and many things were out of his control. Originally, he only wanted to suppress the Golden Crow Sword. If he could exchange this for the heart of the continent, he naturally wouldn't decline, and he would even be grateful. But now, something like this happened. He had truly not expected it!
It had to be known that the situation right now was undoubtedly within Qin Shaojie's imagination from the beginning, but he clearly had a better choice before, yet now he had to pay an even greater price. No matter how good Qin Shaojie's temperament was, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
And at this moment, he finally understood why the middle-aged man from the dragon race had told him not to agree to this deal so easily, because this kind of price was perhaps much bigger than he had imagined, because this was one of the most important things he had exchanged, because back then, for the middle-aged man from the dragon race, freedom was one of the most important things. Even for this so-called freedom, he had to pursue the pinnacle of martial arts, he had to give up the dragon race, he had to go to the endless sea.
You should know that you have no choice. Because you don't have much time left.
Looking at Qin Shaojie, the will of heaven and earth said in a deep voice, this world was itself like this, there was no room for doubt or gain, everything was because of fate, and back then when he wanted to obtain the Golden Crow Sword, he had to pay a heavy price. If he wanted to erase the curse on it, he would need to take out his most precious item, because it would affect his life and death! There were not many things in this world that were more important than life or death, so exchanging for something of utmost importance was not a problem.
Qin Shaojie understood this logic, but when they actually met, who could feel at ease?
What do you think is my most important thing? Taking a deep breath, Qin Shaojie suppressed the ripples in his heart and slowly asked the world's will. He knew that he had no other choice in this matter, he was not concerned with trying to obtain the heart of the continent to protect the world in exchange for what the will of the world could give him, but rather what he needed the most important thing to exchange for the suppression of the Golden Crow Sword.
People, a life that you are close to, as a price.
Taking a deep breath, the will of heaven and earth spoke out, and upon hearing these words, Qin Shaojie's entire face paled! He had thought of many possibilities, but he had never expected that the so-called exchange item would actually be a human life! And it was the life of someone he cared about!
Qin Shaojie clenched his fists tightly, his body was trembling. His life's continuous struggle and cultivation was not for the sake of controlling greater power, but to protect the people he wanted to protect. He was fighting against fate in this life, and even his second life was also unyielding, because he knew that he had someone he cared for, someone he loved, someone he wanted to protect.
Even if I were to die, I would not agree to this condition. It was a bitter and bitter smile, but his words were rather decisive! He knew Qin Shaojie's personality too well, it was impossible for him to do such a thing. At this moment, he also understood the reason behind the dragon race middle-aged man's words to him, because once he agreed, it would be irreversible.
He was not clear on whose lives the will of heaven and earth wanted, but whether it was the five people who came with him this time, the people from the Nine Peaks Tower, or even the people from the Youduoshan, he did not agree. He was not close with many people, but every single one of them was extremely important!
He knew that he might not be able to protect the lives of all of them, and even if they were to die in battle, he would not be able to make them sacrifice themselves for his sake!
His rejection was decisive and there was no room for negotiation!
Do you know that if you don't agree, your life will only be left with a few months?
Towards Qin Shaojie's current almost stubborn attitude, the will of the world also frowned. It was clear that in his opinion, this matter was not that easy to resolve. After all, this wasn't the same as the middle-aged man from the dragon clan.
He did not need to restrain his freedom. The vast world could let him travel freely. He was just using the life of someone close to him, not just anyone close to him. It should be known that on the Island of Death, there were some people who would not hesitate to kill their brothers and their fathers in order to achieve their goals. Moreover, he did not request Qin Shaojie to use his own biological parents as the price for the people he was closest to, as long as it was someone close to him.
In his eyes, this was already the limit of what the will of the world could do, and there was no need to make things difficult for it.
This was also because he was filled with hope and confidence towards Qin Shaojie; he believed that he could fuse with the heart of the continent. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, this kind of price would be paid not by those close to him, but by their birth parents!
Don't worry, he will naturally die without your help. There will be no pain, and no one will know about it.
Taking a deep breath, he seemed to be trying to persuade her. To be able to do this, it meant that the will of the world was quite good.
But Qin Shaojie still shook his head.
Because he knew that once he agreed, then what was the difference between killing them all with his own hands? Would it not be reprehensible to hide one's conscience from others? His own heart didn't hurt? Or maybe this way he would be free of psychological burdens?
None of this existed, and he knew very well that this was undoubtedly him personally taking action.
The whole world could have been deceived, but he knew that he would never forgive himself.
If that was the case, why did they agree to it in the beginning?
He wanted to protect them, not use them as a tool.
Even if he was facing a life or death situation, he wouldn't hesitate to do such a thing.
Is my life okay? However, just as the atmosphere was in a stalemate, a low voice suddenly sounded!
