Chapter 506 Life and Death as the Norm
Soon, these hundreds of thousands of bombs were carried away one by one by the lower-level cultivators who were still working, accurately calculated, and transported through the teleportation array to the giant asteroid. They were then buried by specialists and detonated after the giant asteroid turned to the appropriate angle, providing a negligible force to deflect the asteroid’s orbit.
The cultivators with tens of thousands of Golden Cores or above still remained in Qingyu Youzhou and did not leave. Instead, they each found a comfortable place to stay, meditated and rested, awaiting the instructions of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals.
They were all informed that after all these hundreds of thousands of bombs exploded at the designated points, the energy provided had already caused the giant asteroid to deviate slightly, but it would still collide with the Cultivation Star, destroying the planet.
No, to be precise, it would destroy all life on the planet.
After so many years of effort, the giant asteroid had already deviated significantly and was no longer directly crashing into the Cultivation Star but brushing past it.
Unfortunately, even just brushing past, there was no possibility of survival for the life on the Cultivation Star!
Some powerful cultivators might survive the catastrophic explosion, but at most for two months, they would die due to the harsh environment, with no exceptions.
Su Hao instilled two messages in everyone: one, annihilation was inevitable; two, saving this beautiful planet was just a little bit away.
Three months passed with everyone’s thoughts varying, and confusion appeared on everyone’s faces.
Until this moment, they all asked themselves one question: “Will I be destroyed with this world tomorrow afternoon at six o’clock?”
Every time they thought about it, complex and indescribable emotions surged within them.
Feng Wei walked to Su Hao’s side with a confused expression and said, “Feng Wei, is there really no way?”
Su Hao shook his head expressionlessly.
But Feng Ling couldn’t believe it was true no matter what, showing an awkward smile and saying, “Feng Wei, you must still have a way, right?”
Su Hao turned to look at Feng Ling, then glanced at Feng Yuer, Yun Qingping, Feng Xianglong, Feng Hua, Feng Yan, and other familiar faces who were eagerly looking at him. Their faces, their eyes, were all filled with a longing for life and fear of death.
Things had reached this point, and there was no turning back. Everyone wanted to live, and he was no exception, but inexplicably, there were all sorts of things that didn’t want him to live!
He could save others, but who would save him?
No one!
Every time he fell asleep, it was millions, billions, trillions of years of time to search for that faint opportunity…
Su Hao thought to himself, “I brought disaster, but also brought new and rich knowledge. I just hope that your lives won’t leave too many regrets.”
Even if there were regrets, he was powerless! After all, he still had his selfishness in using the Pinball Space.
Su Hao spoke slowly, “For everyone else…” Su Hao spoke, and everyone held their breath and listened quietly!
He paused for a moment before continuing, “There is still a way! For you, there is no way!”
???
Everyone was bewildered, not understanding what Su Hao meant. What difference did it make?
He continued, “I spread knowledge, claiming to be the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals. But, I am only the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals, not the savior of the world! On the contrary, you, are the saviors of this world.”
Feng Xianglong asked on behalf of everyone, “What do you mean?”
Su Hao’s voice gradually grew louder, “Listen, all of you gather together, there is a faint chance to save this world. But, you cannot save yourselves!”
“Tomorrow at noon, I will tell you all the answer! The ultimate decision is in your hands!”
“Choose to die, or choose to perish!”
“There is no chance, don’t harbor any illusions. Regardless, all of us present here are doomed! The only difference is how we choose to die!”
“Listen carefully! You can choose how to die!”
“Students of the Starry Sky Academy! I hope you won’t regret joining the Starry Sky Academy to study!”
After Su Hao finished speaking, he remained silent.
And the tens of thousands of people present all heard Su Hao’s words clearly. Although they didn’t fully understand the meaning behind the words of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals, one thing was clearly expressed.
That is, everyone present would die, there was no chance of any luck.
Among these deceased would be the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Immortals, whom they had always looked up to with awe.
He would also perish. Even he, such a powerful individual, would perish. Where was their path to survival? Cultivators, unexpectedly so fragile!
Completely, there was no hope! The faint glimmer of hope in their hearts was shattered!
Everyone felt despondent, staring blankly at the figure standing on a large stone, gazing up at the sky.
From their memories, scenes of life flashed before their eyes, joys and sorrows, people encountered, events experienced, enduring many hardships, gaining much joy, overcoming many difficulties, and experiencing much happiness…
Although they had lived for two to three hundred years, far exceeding the lifespan of ordinary people, this bustling world was truly captivating!
…
Not only did everyone think a lot, but Su Hao, who was in the spotlight, also pondered a lot at this moment.
But the more he thought, the harder his heart became, turning a blind eye to those longing for survival!
He gradually came to terms with all the disasters he had caused, the destruction of others or planets.
At first, when he learned that an entire planet would be destroyed because of him, and all the creatures on the planet would face destruction, he felt a tremor, complex emotions surged in his heart.
After all, it was the life of an entire planet! It was a feeling completely different from wielding a knife to slaughter.
No matter how hardened his heart was, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
However, he has now come to terms with it!
Everything is irretrievable, so let it be.
Life and death, that’s the norm in this universe. Whether one dies or a billion die, fundamentally, there’s no difference.
How many billions of people die under the scythe of time each year? But who has ever heard time’s lament and self-blame?
Throughout this journey, countless people have died because of him, and countless have been personally killed by him. It can be foreseen that in the future, countless more will die because of him, and countless planets will be destroyed because of him…
Even when he becomes powerful enough, countless planets will be detonated by him.
He himself is a butcher, having experienced countless deaths. What’s the point of thinking about the life and death of others at this point? No more!
The only one responsible for his own life is himself.
Do what he wants to do in his heart, and let fate decide the rest.
No regrets!
“Someday, whether I, Su Hao, live or die, it’s up to me to decide!”
“This life will end here for now! Following his heart, he will try to save this planet, this treasure of the universe!”
Although it’s called a treasure of the universe, it’s clear that the universe doesn’t care much about this planet, casually sending a giant asteroid to destroy it!
However, while the universe is indifferent, Su Hao cares to some extent.
The life planet provides him with the opportunity for reincarnation and allows him to learn more miraculous knowledge. If conditions permit, he will try to save it.
Of course, if it’s impossible, he won’t blame himself.
Because there’s no need to. Who knows, maybe one day in the future, when he becomes powerful, he’ll sneeze and accidentally destroy a life planet?
Su Hao can only say sorry and try to sneeze somewhere else next time.
What else can he do?
After experiencing this life, Su Hao’s heart has become strong again, incredibly tough.
Tough enough to accept anything that may happen!
Everyone dies, he can accept it. The world is destroyed, he can accept it. Even a life planet he cherishes is destroyed by his own hands, he can accept it!
Who says you can’t crush something you love with your own hands?
In the early morning, the sun peeks out from afar.
Su Hao takes a step forward.
The tens of thousands of people present are all exceptionally sensitive individuals, and they immediately notice Su Hao’s movement, all looking over in unison.
“Is it starting?” Unknowingly, this sentence pops up in everyone’s mind.
Indeed, it has begun!
