Seeing this scene, Chen Shu instinctively felt killing intent,
But the exhaustion of his mind prevented him from losing control, and he remained rational.
Watching humans die one after another in the sky, accompanied by agonizing screams,
This hellish spectacle caused Chen Shu to close his eyes, as if unable to bear it.
His face showed struggle, and his heart experienced intense emotional fluctuations once more.
"Think carefully... a rabbit for the lives of countless people..."
Jie Long's voice echoed again, feeling a hint of excitement in its heart.
It had finally grasped the other party!
However, what Jie Long did not expect was that
As time passed,
The other party's expression gradually turned indifferent, devoid of any further emotion, as if he had suppressed all his feelings, or perhaps had completely come to terms with it.
Finally, Chen Shu cast a cold glance at Jie Long and vanished from his spot with a blink.
"Did he really come to terms with it?!"
Jie Long's expression jolted, vaguely feeling that things were beyond its judgment.
To eliminate Chen Shu, it could only rely on other humans to force him to abandon his contracted spirit.
Although somewhat despicable, this was the only way!
After all, with Chen Shu possessing spatial-temporal power, no one in the world could kill him anymore...
If the other party truly accepted it and abandoned humanity, Chen Shu would have no weaknesses and would become the most terrifying existence in the world.
At that point, even if Jie Long and the Heavenly Knights joined forces, they would be unable to deal with him.
"No..."
A look of determination flashed in Jie Long's eyes, and its power surged forth once more!
The Beast Ancestor's Eye was suffused with an extreme red glow, once again dyeing the entire sky.
Immediately after, the scene of human deaths being replayed above descended upon the sky of Blue Star.
And as the Beast Ancestor's Eye infused more power, the image could now pierce through the ruins' obstruction!
This also meant that
Even the humans within the ruins would be able to see the scene in the sky!
For a moment, the humans' bodies trembled. They all looked up, gazing at this bloody spectacle...
Their eyes were filled with pain, and countless people cried out in sorrow on the spot. The entire human race was filled with grief.
With their brethren falling one by one, even the most indifferent person could not remain unmoved.
And at this very moment,
Jie Long's voice echoed through heaven and earth, penetrating the ruins, as if resonating in everyone's ears.
"Chen Shu, as long as you abandon your contracted spirit, you can preserve humanity's future. This Emperor can make an ancient oath never to attack humans again!"
"Three days later, your decision will determine the survival of humanity!"
For a moment, the grieving humans were stunned. They had clearly all heard.
Seeing Chen Shu's earlier indifferent demeanor, Jie Long could only proceed with its next plan.
It intended to use the other humans to pressure Chen Shu, forcing him to give up his contracted spirit.
One side was a contracted spirit, and the other was the lives of all humanity.
The scales of choice had long since tipped.
It believed that the others would help Chen Shu make the decision...
At this moment, a cruel smile appeared on Jie Long's lips as it silently awaited the outcome.
The Beast Ancestor's Eye's search skill had a cooldown period of only one day,
But it set the time for three days later, to give Chen Shu ample time to think.
After all, its goal was to kill Chen Shu. As for the others, they were insignificant in its eyes.
...
At this moment, within the starry ruins,
As soon as Chen Shu returned, he saw this scene through the sky and couldn't help but be taken aback, then a smile played on his lips.
He naturally saw through Jie Long's intentions at a glance.
At this time, everyone's expressions were still filled with grief, but some were frozen in place, seemingly contemplating and making choices.
"It seems you've all heard."
Chen Shu calmly looked at everyone and said,
"This time, I will give you the opportunity to make the choice! How you proceed is up to you!"
"The Star Spirit will record your choices."
With that, he vanished from his spot and went alone to the deepest part of the ruins.
"Chen Shu..."
Fang Si stood alone in the crowd, gazing at Chen Shu's departing back, and couldn't help but shed tears...
Chen Shu's parents, A Liang, Liu Feng, Qin Tian, and others all fell into silence...
They were not struggling with how to choose, but rather felt heartache for Chen Shu, desperately wishing they could share some of his burden.
Jie Long's plan had directly pushed Chen Shu to the edge of a cliff...
"You scoundrel, are you really going to do this?"
At this moment, the Star Spirit silently approached Chen Shu.
"Do what?"
Chen Shu's indifferent expression suddenly broke into a smile as he said,
"My life does not need to be decided by others!"
The Star Spirit's heart trembled, and looking at Chen Shu, it felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
It trembled and asked, "Are you going to abandon humanity?"
Chen Shu did not answer, but instead said,
"As long as I can break through to Legendary in the future, humanity will not perish."
For a moment, the Star Spirit was stunned. The other party had essentially given his answer.
The Star Spirit muttered, "You already have an idea, yet you're letting others make the choice?"
"It's just making a choice, I never said I would follow their decision..."
Chen Shu shrugged and said,
"It's like filling out a survey, just for the sake of it..."
"..."
The Star Spirit remained silent, simply gazing at Chen Shu.
The other party's actions felt both predictable and yet also beyond his expectations.
For a moment, it found itself completely unable to fathom the person before him...
"Perhaps, you truly deceived me back then..."
The Star Spirit mused inwardly, but did not speak anything.
If Jie Long wanted its life, it would sacrifice itself without hesitation. But as Chen Shu said, one's own life is one's own decision, and others have no right to comment.
"Alright, help me record it..."
Chen Shu glanced at the Star Spirit and said, "I need to prepare for my departure."
The Star Spirit nodded, left the place, and began to record silently.
Although it was a meaningless task, it actually wanted to get an answer...
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Jie Long indeed kept its promise and made no further moves, as the slaughter of other humans was merely its means, not its objective.
Chen Shu also began to make preparations.
Rabbit transferred all the resources from the other three ruins into its exclusive space for future use.
As for Chen Shu himself, he remained in Nanjiang City, living a peaceful life.
Because of him, the ruins had completely restored Nanjiang City, matching the scenes in his memory perfectly.
At this moment, he was leisurely walking on the street.
The people around were all in a hurry, casting a glance at him before quickly leaving, completely different from their usual enthusiastic demeanor.
Chen Shu's expression was indifferent; there was no surprise.
His contributions over the years had earned him a large number of followers, who were even willing to sacrifice their lives for him.
However, most people only saw him as a leader guiding humanity forward.
One side was a leader, and the other was all of humanity. Most people did not need to think to make this choice...
"Sigh..."
Chen Shu shook his head, suddenly finding it a bit dull. With a blink, he arrived at Nanjiang Second High School.
The school in his memory remained unchanged,
Whether it was the statue at the entrance, the school buildings, or the Beast Taming Hall...
This was where his beast taming journey began!
From here, he met Xiao Xing, Lao Xie, Shen Wushuang...
