Chapter 570 - The Experts That Disregarded The Bigger Picture (1/2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In almost every heart there is a thorn that exists within. Some might not hurt as long as they are not touched. Some thorns, however, remind you of pain regardless of whether you touched it or not.
For many people, the thorn might signify love. It signified having toiled endlessly for her, only to have her end up in the arms of others. Every time she was seen, or her name mentioned, the thorn would begin to hurt.
The thorn in Chen Feiyu’s heart was entrenched deeper and far beyond the pains of love! Those who were the pillars of support in his life were destroyed by the Founding Society, the aftermath had become a thorn in his heart.
The intent to kill and rage were colder than the cold air in the room. Chen Feiyu remained silent, but his eyes stayed sharp.
“Regarding these things, all I can do is apologize.” The old voice of the brain did not show much sincerity. It could be because he had lost his body, thus losing his humanity. Or it could also be that he was numb to all these things due to his longevity.
“The original Founding Society was only responsible for observation. It wasn’t the original Founding Society that did it. Didn’t you think that it was too miraculous for you to escape with your sickly sister by your side with the strength you had at that time? As for the passing of your sister, that was simply because Zhang Hao wanted to try out another test on his failed experiment. He realized that you were stoic enough to withstand any livelihood pressure he threw at you, so he decided to find out how you would be if your final pillar of support was stripped away from you. You are not the only one to have endured this…”
The frail voice didn’t stop, “You should already know that Zhang Hao’s Founding Society is stronger. Even if an observer wished to intervene, it would not have changed anything. Besides, we also wanted to know the result. If you feel that destroying the Founding Society can alleviate your hatred, feel free to do so.”
Qin Fen took a deep breath. If this brain still maintained its human form, his expression when he said these words would probably be similar to the Snake King, Du Hen’s, right?
“Excuse me…” Qin Fen stared at the brain and asked slowly, “What is your true identity?”
“Me?” The old voice asked with a hint of bitter laughs, “I am the founder of the Founding Society, and Zhang Hao is a disciple of mine. He said that scientists should not be the parents of human beings, but their rulers and governors instead. They don’t need love, but rather, control, totalitarian control.”
Qin Fen raised his eyebrows, “Why did you show me all this for…?”
“Are you thinking that I am going to ask you to defeat my disciple?” The old voice asked with a little ridicule in his voice, “No, no. The very fact that you could make your way here has proven that you are qualified to know the truth, just like how Tagatha and the Jade Emperor were qualified to know the truth. As for what you wish to do, I will not intervene.”
“Since they know…”
“Why would they still want to fight that hard for the title of the divine beast?” The brain once again cut off Qin Fen’s words, “First, they recognize the legitimacy of the current martial artists’ system. To become a divine beast martial artist, one must not only have strong martial prowess, but also a team of strong subordinates, as well as the power to build a true society, forming a conglomerate in the process. As for the second reason, the prerequisite for becoming a divine beast martial artist is to attain the strongest martial power. As for the ways to attain it, I am sure that you are clear about it.”
Qin Fen’s expression was sullen. The strength of the divine beast martial artists was not something that could be attained just by having a chat or conversations on life with a peer over lunch.
Even if one could possess such power, pros who had never experienced brutal life-and-death battles might just end up being a nutritional supply to the brutal creatures from the Pandora dimension when they finally face them, right?
To attain the strength of a divine beast martial artist, one must toe the line of life and death. To do so requires not just one, but many battles of life and death.
This may be cruel, but it is indeed a fact!
Qin Fen also understood the position of the Sacred Martial Hall in a flash. Perhaps Wu Zun really has the martial dao level of divine beast martial artists. However, if he becomes one of the divine beast martial artists, the existence of a fair and just band of elite martial artists would be shattered in the hearts of many martial artists.
In addition to the massive library of martial arts tomes and powerful martial dao strength, the biggest reason as to why the Sacred Martial Hall could become the Holy Land in the heart of martial artists was the fact that it was fair and just to a fault! Such fairness was not possible even with the power of divine beast martial artists.
Such fairness would bring the mentality of martial artists to a relatively peaceful state. Otherwise, if one was working for Qilin only to find out that Song Jia was the granddaughter of Qilin, they would definitely think that Qilin gave special treatment to Song Jia over them, and that their efforts were in vain.
Yet this would not happen at Sacred Martial Hall! As long as you worked hard in Sacred Martial Hall, you would have a chance to get ahead and reap more rewards!
