Chapter 2728 Cause and Effect, Right and Wrong
In Qu Jianlei's plan, when the opponent's mind is distracted, he will find a secluded space.
Success is certainly desirable, but in the event of an accident, as long as there is no confirmed death, his reputation can protect his friends for many years to come.
He wasn't addicted to being a nanny; he was mainly concerned about saving face... To fail and fall in front of everyone would be truly shameful.
However, the example before him told him that trying to quietly break through a distraction on his own was quite risky.
Seeing him frown, Han Li immediately took charge, saying, "Don't worry, I'll protect you then."
"And me," Xiaoyou also spoke up, "Hanli, when you are trying to break through to the Divine Realm, you can also ask Lord Xiaoyou for help."
"Tch," the handsome young man scoffed disdainfully, "You should think about how you'll seek help from Venerable Hanli when you're trying to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Qu Jianlei ignored their bickering. "I just want to ask, can't we advance through the ranks silently?"
"In that case, Qiye will be your cautionary tale," only the young lady dared to call Qiye by her name at this moment.
"But you don't need to worry. You can come into my cave when the time comes... This is your safe haven."
Here we go again… Qu Jianlei forced a smile, “Miss, please watch your words, there are so many True Venerables here right now!”
"A private message," the veteran replied nonchalantly, "The World Core... I got it, now it's up to you how you do it!"
“Ancestor, you can use it yourself,” Qu Jianlei said without hesitation. “I didn’t contribute anything.”
Of course he wanted the world's core, but one must have principles; one should not accept undeserved rewards!
“You could put in a little more effort,” the young woman said casually. “I wanted you to show off, but you’re making me do it myself… What kind of attitude is that?”
Can we be serious for once? Qu Jianlei touched his forehead. "Let's not chat privately. There's nothing we can't say to others."
The next moment, he unleashed a powerful divine sense, "Two Great Lords, is it time to leave?"
The white mist suddenly appeared, "Wait a moment, your axe is still inside feasting!"
"Huh?" Qu Jianlei was slightly taken aback. "The Middle Thousand Worlds... is already dead."
“There is still some lingering deathly aura,” the white mist replied unhurriedly, “but don’t worry, it won’t be long.”
“I have no doubt about that,” Qu Jianlei said, indicating that he was not surprised.
The Middle Thousand Worlds are gone, and the Great Lord who was responsible for the blood transfusion has also perished. What can sustain the deathly stillness?
"I'm just a little confused about the cause and effect of this... how do you calculate it?"
"Then ask Taiyuan," Kan Shui Zhenjun probably didn't not know, but rather didn't want to say.
“He always saved him,” a female voice appeared in Qu Zhenzun’s mind. “I’ll explain it to you in detail, but don’t spread it around.”
This matter is not that simple. First of all, we need to explain why Senior Heng left this world behind after "sweeping away" it.
In Taiyuanhai's view, the other party may not necessarily be intentionally giving Qu Zhenzun a karmic debt.
The reason is simple: there are humans in that world, so there is cause and effect, and the destruction of that world is also a cause and effect.
The Haoran Sect has always acted domineeringly and probably wouldn't care about the latter, but the former... is hard to say.
Heng Xuanzun's realm is not bad, so this kind of minor karma should not be a big deal. However, as a cultivator, it is best not to do evil even if it is small.
As for the Seven Leaves True Lord trapped in the Middle Thousand Worlds, he was also a victim, so there was no reason for him to simply erase him.
But if he were to intervene, not only would it create another mess, but at the very least... it would add another useless karmic consequence.
It just so happens that this person has some connection with Qu Jianlei, so he went along with it and left this person behind... let's just consider it a favor.
It should be understood that once the Seven Leaves True Lord escapes, the Middle Thousand Worlds will perish; this is something no one can change.
However, this was no longer relevant to Heng Xuanzun; for him, the matter was already over.
How things will develop from here is up to Qu Zhenzun.
Having participated in so many debates, Taiyuan Hai understood this basic principle immediately and took on the task voluntarily.
It is most appropriate for her to take action, because the best option to break the seal is to use a ritual artifact.
The giant axe's inherent nature is that it is only responsible for the world it originally existed in, and is not afraid of external causes and effects.
The destruction of the Middle Thousand Worlds is merely a link in the chain of cause and effect, not the main cause, so it doesn't matter much.
Seriousness is the deathly stillness of being sealed off, which suits its taste perfectly.
In this way, what was originally a slightly complicated situation became a happy ending for everyone.
Qu Jianlei could enjoy the benefits of the Seven Leaves True Lord's main cause without exerting any effort, and also gained corresponding rewards from the ritual artifacts.
Taiyuan Hai, who took the lead in the operation, could reap considerable benefits, so she would naturally be more proactive.
Other participants also had varying degrees of goodwill—Lord Nana no Taijun has clearly expressed his acceptance.
This is a win-win situation, but if a different method is used to break the blockade, it won't be so perfect.
The woman's voice didn't explain in much detail, but Qu Jianlei was still capable of understanding.
"Thank you very much, sir," he said sincerely. The old driver, who drove at breakneck speed, was actually quite reliable at times.
The truth is, he sighed, "I'm still too weak."
If he were to wield the giant axe, breaking the seal would require a slow and painstaking process, let alone adding the ritual artifact to help extinguish the killing aura.
"At the core of the world, you get 70% and I get 30%," the young woman said, no longer joking. "Even between siblings, accounts should be settled clearly!"
“How can that be?” Qu Jianlei disagreed. “You’re the one who put in the effort, the patriarch will take 90%, and I’ll just take 10% as a token.”
He wasn't sure how much the young lady needed this item, since she had never coveted his world core before.
However, the Taiyuan Sea is said to have three thousand minor worlds, so the more the better.
“You can’t calculate cause and effect like that,” the young woman chuckled, clearly pleased.
"Qiye also wanted to take away the world's core. If it weren't for this enormous karmic debt, do you think he would have attacked me?"
Back then, when Qiye successfully broke through to the Out-of-Body stage, he fought against two True Venerables before his realm had stabilized, instead of fleeing.
For the next thousand years, they relentlessly pursued and killed the other party, eventually succeeding... Even Ling Yun's intervention was ineffective.
Otherwise, how could this person become a legend? Besides being incredibly strong in combat, he also has a formidable temper.
"So you snatched it from him?" Qu Jianlei was secretly astonished. This cause and effect... was really hard to calculate.
The main cause of the destruction of the Middle Thousand Worlds lies with the Seven Leaves True Monarch.
Of course, he had been trapped here for many years and almost been refined... Qu Jianlei really had no ability to judge the rights and wrongs of this.
Regardless, it is only natural that they took away the core of the world.
"I left him a big piece," the young woman said, adding that she was particular about food, "but there were more small pieces."
For a moment, Qu Jianlei was speechless.
"They're fried a little too finely," the woman explained. "I won't accept them; they might go to waste."
"What a waste..." Qu Jianlei pursed his lips. "Do you think I believe that?"
Even if Qi Ye has not yet advanced to the Great Monarch level, with the realm of True Venerable, it is impossible for him to miss any fragment, right?
However, it's pointless to talk about this now. "Forget it, it's just a middle-thousand world, it's not a big deal."
After hearing this, the young lady was speechless... You really dare to say that.
She really needs the world's core, and she can never have too many, so she's charging a little extra for her labor this time.
However, since she started traveling through the void with Xiao Qu and has seen countless worlds, has she made a move yet?
Some things cannot be done arbitrarily simply because one is powerful. This time, it was truly a matter of chance and coincidence.
But this guy, Xiao Qu... seems to have a knack for causing trouble. We'll just have to wait and see...
Qu Jianlei didn't hide the fact that he had acquired the world's core technology from everyone—after all, what goes around comes around.
After discussion, it was generally agreed that the other nine True Venerables would take 30%, which is 30% of the 70% that True Venerable Qu would receive.
Kan Shui Zhenjun was completely ignored—after all, his purpose in coming here was ostensibly to avenge Yu Xiu.
It didn't participate in the rescue of Qiye, so why should it be involved in profit sharing?
Those nine True Venerables were all there to help or act as bodyguards, so its opposition was useless...
The world collapsed from within, not from a targeted attack. It was just a bunch of small pieces, about twenty pieces in total, and it's a wonder the young lady was able to collect them.
Qu Jianlei stated that if anyone did not have a strong need for the item, he was willing to use other treasures to settle the debt.
Song Yue'er certainly wouldn't give up, but Han Li tried to decline, but even Jin Ge said he needed a piece.
"I am not of much use, but I am still a token of witness, and I am very meaningful... The destruction of the Middle Thousand Worlds."
So Han Li changed his mind, "This is the first real rebellion against the Great Lord, I'll leave it here to show off!"
Of the nine people, only Lianxing and the other two True Venerables did not want the treasures and exchanged them for other treasures.
Song Yue'er had made quite a bit of a gain, but she was still a little dissatisfied. "Can anyone predict what other secrets this Great Khan might have up his sleeve?"
“I’ll take care of it…” White Mist couldn’t wait this time. “The spoils of war aren’t important, but this time we can’t have any racial discrimination!”
Qu Jianlei, on the other hand, watched coldly. To be honest, he wasn't very optimistic about the results he had seen.
This great lord is not only old, but also a bit obsessed. Just talking about refining the Great Dao avatar... the cost must be quite high, right?
Such a person, even if they have some wealth, should carry it with them.
However, he didn't try to stop him; let things take their course.
The first thing Kan Shui Zhenjun noticed this time was... figuring out the identity of that Great Lord!
This person calls himself Yuji, and his origins are unknown. There is a high probability that he has severed his own roots.
Severing one's roots is the true severing of cause and effect, while the so-called severing of cause and effect by the Sky-Supporting True Venerable is merely cutting off worldly ties.
Severing karmic ties is already difficult, but cutting off one's own roots to prevent being traced is even more difficult and requires greater resolve.
However, given that he has committed such an evil practice, this choice is not surprising.
“Foolish machine…” the young woman said leisurely, “It really is him!”
She had a few suspects in mind, but she couldn't just point them out—there weren't many good-tempered people among the kings.
She remembered him. "Back then, I didn't let him participate in the Taiyuan Sea Dao Discussion, but it wasn't my decision!"
