This Is My Planet - Chapter 100 - Chapter 100 – I Am Enlightened
“You’re now working for humans, as I see it…” Hun Yuan glanced at the documents and smiled, “Special Operations Captain, huh? Humans only give you the rank of captain, yet you, as a Wu Xiang, can endure it. It’s truly laughable. Special Operations… Are you attracted to Yan Wuyue, willing to attach yourself like a horse to a carriage? Or are you an extremely emotional person? Otherwise, it can’t be explained at all.”
“Um…” Master of Logic, impeccable.
Hun Yuan looked at him seriously, “Do you know why the Divine Creator is coming here?”
“I don’t know, I hope the Hun Priest will enlighten me.”
“Gongsun Jiu is seriously injured in bed. The response of the Galactic Fleet must be delayed and chaotic, meaning the premise of mutual restraint between them and us Wu Xiang has weakened. The Divine Creator believes he can handle it…” Hun Yuan sneered, “Your excellency, do you think, if all of us Wu Xiang join the battle, is there a possibility of annihilating the humans?”
If Gongsun Jiu is truly seriously injured, what you said might have some possibility.
But under the current circumstances, doing this… most likely, it’s part of Shang Zhaoye’s plan to betray the Azure Dragon.
“Why don’t I just throw in my lot with the Divine Creator then and become a priest as well?”
“What do you think Divine Creator’s perception of humans is, given that he is orchestrating such a war that could alter the fate of a nation?”
Xia Guixuan was slightly surprised, realizing that all the flattering words this guy had said about humans before had a purpose.
Hun Yuan smiled, “Although I am of the demonic path and have a bloodthirsty nature, I don’t intend to do that to humans. I won’t hide it from you, I value the human technological model. In my opinion, enslaving humans, making them produce such things for our use, would be a very good supplement to our strength.”
Xia Guixuan replied blandly, “That’s a good idea.”
“But the Divine Creator may not think so, and Shang Zhaoye, who has the closest relationship with the Divine Creator, doesn’t think so either. She was once the confidant of the Fox King. It’s very likely that she still harbors resentment towards humans, possibly because the Fox King died at the hands of humans. Once she gains power, all she will think about is exterminating humans.”
Xia Guixuan narrowed his eyes.
These words were intended to take advantage of his ignorance and frame someone else.
Unfortunately, he wasn’t ignorant.
He had personally seen Shang Zhaoye’s attitude towards Ling Moxue and her views on Gongsun Jiu, which were clearly about “using them for my own purposes,” not about slaughter. The rewind of Langya’s “corpse” could not have been more genuine. When Langya advised to kill Gongsun Jiu, Shang Zhaoye had opposed it.
It’s very likely that what Hun Yuan said is the opposite, with Shang Zhaoye wanting to enslave humans and Hun Yuan wanting to exterminate them.
But to a “human envoy,” he naturally says the opposite.
Hun Yuan continued, “You and Yan Wuyue are united, serving among humans. I assume you would at least consider preserving humans. The Divine Creator is just influenced by Shang Zhaoye. If it weren’t for her, the Divine Creator would listen to our advice, and human safety could be ensured at that time.”
Xia Guixuan smiled, “After all this talk, the Hun Priest hopes that you and I will join forces to deal with Shang Zhaoye.”
Hun Yuan replied, “Of course. Do you think I would betray Divine Creator?”
“Ah yes, of course, it’s about ‘clearing the monarch’s side’.” Xia Guixuan laughed like a silly fox.
“There’s no need for sarcasm, Your Excellency. When the Divine Creator arrives and the killing starts, you’ll naturally know that I didn’t deceive you.” Hun Yuan looked at Yan Wuyue, who was retreating in the distance, and said with a smile, “By the way, it’s best not to let the Divine Creator see Yan Wuyue.”
“Why is that?”
“The nature of the dragon is lecherous, don’t you know?” Hun Yuan sighed, “Even in the palace, the Divine Creator is always playing with the palace maids. The reason why the relationship between him and Shang Zhaoye is so close is probably because Shang Zhaoye is a great beauty… This is normal. Everyone reveres the Divine Creator, and it’s only natural to serve him with your body. It remains to be seen whether Yan Wuyue, with half-human factors, thinks the same.”
Xia Guixuan’s face appeared envious, but inwardly he thought, What nonsense.
Shang Zhaoye is clearly a virgin. Even before he started cultivating, his skills in observing women were top-notch… After cultivation, he could even more clearly sense her aura. Recently, she hasn’t been in contact with men —oh, except for that moment when he held her hand.
Every word is false.
Perhaps Hun Yuan’s words were half-true and half-false, with each step carefully crafted to be persuasive. For instance, if he, as a “Wu Xiang envoy”, had known nothing beforehand and saw a Wu Xiang unleash his full power and the Azure Dragon intercepting battleship artillery, he would have naturally believed Hun Yuan’s words to be true. Then, for the sake of protecting humanity and his “beloved Yan Wuyue,” it would have made sense to try to stop Shang Zhaoye.
Once he inexplicably confronts Shang Zhaoye, Hun Yuan probably has some plan in the works, and there’s a good chance he’ll trap the centaur girl.
Even the Azure Dragon might get ambushed while intercepting battleship artillery.
Galactic artillery is no small feat to intercept; it was originally designed as a weapon of mass destruction to counterbalance Wu Xiang.
“I understand the Hun Priest’s intentions now,” Xia Guixuan sighed, sounding somewhat dejected, “I’ll fulfill my duties first when your Divine Creator arrives, and then see how things go.”
Hun Yuan waved his hand, “You can try, but the Divine Creator won’t entertain any diplomatic niceties with you. He’ll just drive you away or detain you. If you’re detained, I’ll intercede and try to release you. By then, you’ll know that every word I said is true.”
Xia Guixuan said, “I have one more question…”
Hun Yuan replied, “Please go ahead, Envoy.”
“The Divine Creator’s Dao is elusive, vast and boundless, carefree and unrestrained, which seems to be the righteous path. Why did the Hun Priest cultivate a heart full of evil thoughts and fall into the demonic path?”
Hun Yuan’s friendly gaze suddenly turned somewhat cold, “As a Wu Xiang, are you trying to start a philosophical debate with me?”
Xia Guixuan waved his hand, “Don’t be so sensitive. I haven’t been involved in the divine descendant’s society, just curious. I’m not opposed to the demonic path, so why be nervous?”
Hun Yuan’s expression relaxed slightly, “If it’s a discussion on the Dao, I can share some thoughts with you…. Everyone comprehends the Divine Creator’s Dao, which is essentially the Heavenly Dao, not directly taught by the Divine Creator. Therefore, each person forms their own understanding. Perhaps you and I have completely opposite interpretations, which is not uncommon. Ultimately, it’s like ants looking at an elephant. I see the legs, you see the trunk. Who sees the elephant?”
Xia Guixuan nodded, “So what legs do you see?”
“In the depths of the Heavenly Dao, there is bloodshed, slaughter, selfishness, and lust. These are inherent qualities of the Divine Creator, perhaps hidden during cultivation, but never disappeared. Since these are the deepest, indestructible aspects of the Heavenly Dao, they constitute the foundation of the great Dao and the strongest heavenly principles. We firmly believe in this.”
“Wait a minute… slaughter and selfishness I can understand, but are you certain about lust?”
Hun Yuan replied impatiently, “You are also a Wu Xiang. Can you truly not sense that lust is also a significant and indelible part of the Heavenly Dao? It’s even more profound than slaughter, just well hidden. The orthodox path always claims the Divine Creator conceals it, suggesting everyone should do the same. But I say that’s nonsense. If even the Divine Creator can’t erase it, who do we think we are?”
Xia Guixuan stared at him inexplicably until Hun Yuan felt a bit bewildered. Then he suddenly clasped his hands in a salute. “As the saying goes, ‘In the company of three, there must be one I can learn from.’ It has proven true… I am enlightened.”
The conversation between the two seemed quite lengthy, but in reality, it was only about seven or eight minutes. Finally, a stream of light appeared in the sky.
Xia Guixuan felt the approach of a familiar aura, looked up, and saw Shang Zhaoye.
She flew behind an Azure Dragon, but the other two Wu Xiang were not in sight. According to Hun Yuan, it was very likely they had gone to launch a surprise attack inland. In this regard, Hun Yuan’s words were probably true.
As for that the Azure Dragon… in terms of aura, it does seem to be the same as mine…
Before he could get a clear look, that Azure Dragon yelled from a hundred miles away, hands on hips, “Hun Priest, capture Yan Wuyue! Any battleship artillery causing trouble, this god will handle it!”
“…” Damn it, what about the negotiation?
Where did this idiotic dragon come from?
Xia Guixuan’s divine sense swept past and detected a concealment and transformation similar to Gongsun Jiu’s.
But this time, he couldn’t deliberately ignore it. With a flash of thought, the image of a little girl with a dragon horn faintly appeared on the dragon’s body.
So… all that talk about cuddling with the maids and being particularly fond of Shang Zhaoye… isn’t that only natural?
