Legend of the chosen ones: Beyond Destiny

Chapter 1575 808: Academic Exchange, Collective Improvement

"What?"

Ji Jue was momentarily petrified.

He could understand the first half of the sentence, but the problem is... kill whom?

Bei Gong?

He looked at Jiang Tongguang blankly, unable to comprehend: Why would you want to kill him?

From the beginning to the end, it was Elder Anvil causing trouble, how did the unlucky Bei Gong end up being targeted? It hasn't been long since he got kicked by three Grandmasters, right?

Isn't it a bit much for the Association to just keep going after the same target?

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of little question marks popped up in Ji Jue's mind, rising and falling. In Jiang Tongguang's gaze, he instinctively opened his mouth to ask:

"What about Jian Yuan?"

With sheep, you can lead one or two to pasture, and since they're already here, wouldn't the Association consider it anyway?

"..."

Jiang Tongguang was also silent, looking at him with a complex expression, and sighed sincerely.

Your group really is... so harmonious!

Ye Xian at least just broke out, everyone thought you'd have more respect for teachers and morals, definitely better than her, but you jumped straight to killing your own, severing ties with friends and kin?

Oh, once broken out, you're not family anymore, killing them doesn't count, right?

However, thinking about Ji Jue's history, the time he sacrificed himself in Spring City to rescue colleagues from Jianyuan Workshop, he suddenly somewhat understood.

After all, falling into Zhi Fu's hands, enduring all sorts of torture is inevitable. Jian Yuan won't care about any camaraderie, even if alive, surely suffered much, harboring resentment is normal.

Unfortunately, the problem is, leading sheep is one thing, killing a Craftsman Grandmaster is entirely another!

Even to kill just Bei Gong, the Association must exert full effort, sparing no cost or sacrifice to possibly achieve it.

This is not a battle within the Crack Realm, it's common knowledge the disparate performance of craftsmen in skirmishes versus entrenched battles. Diving into You Sui and breaking into Bei Gong's workshop, that difficulty is beyond imagination. Embellishing upon that is courting death.

"I know you are eager to eliminate threats, but Ji Jue, you must face reality."

Jiang Tongguang picked up the whiskey, poured drinks for both, doubled ice for himself, and drank in one go, sighing lightly, "In the Association's assessment, among the three Grandmasters of You Sui, Jian Yuan's threat ranks last... even lower than an ordinary Demon of Sin."

After all, Jian Yuan is just a craftsman—though the term has lost its positive connotation, in the chaotic mess of You Sui, it's commendably upright and peaceful.

He always shuts himself in, occasionally teaching a few students he likes, then leaves them to fend for themselves.

No matter the state of the world, he's utterly indifferent, unless necessary, he doesn't bother with anything.

Even though his abilities are terrifying, comparatively, his influence and damage are the smallest!

Relatively speaking, resolving the most troublesome one first, focusing on major issues while ignoring minor ones is the optimal solution.

"But the question is, why would the Association make a move?"

Ji Jue couldn't understand, asking bluntly, "The Embers of You Sui Decision is still ongoing, does the Association intend to overturn the table first? Isn't that effectively admitting their inferiority?"

"So what if they do?"

Jiang Tongguang laughed coldly, "Do you think You Sui will be honest? For someone like Elder Anvil, to achieve their goals, any means is permissible.

So what about the Embers of You Sui Decision?

Were they not the first to employ tactics?"

He reminded sternly, "Ji Jue, don't forget the initial purpose of both sides starting the war."

Purpose?

What other purpose could there be?

That Pillar of Descent, continuously growing from absorbing the Four Seas, turning Superior into a Great Evil!

"Is there a problem?"

Ji Jue was instantly alert.

"Originally it was just a suspicion, but now it's almost certain." Jiang Tongguang said, his expression warming, showing approval:

"To speak frankly, it's thanks to you."

One person, ten sieges, ten victories, single-handedly causing ten rounds of Transformation of Good and Evil shockwaves in the Crack Realm, etching the descent, shaking the Great Evil Pillar.

And not just that; the ripples caused reached both the present world and the Vortex.

These ten victories are far more important than Ji Jue imagined.

It's as if Ji Jue became a medium, releasing echoes at a fixed frequency, resonating with Superior, and after ten consecutive times, even the originally chaotic Great Evil began to show trends and directions of flow.

No matter how vast and complex this change is, however varied and chaotic, it ultimately became traceable.

In the pitch-black labyrinth, the brief burn of a match, enough to illuminate the path ahead and the vista beyond.

From one spot, you understand the whole picture!

"Five hours ago, Plowsmith has returned from beneath the Vortex, bringing observation results—through the changes of the Pillar of Descent up and down the Vortex, it's confirmed, this isn't the handiwork of a single craftsman alone; its maintenance and growth do not rely solely on Elder Anvil."

Jiang Tongguang said decisively, "Though the specifics are unknown, based on current speculations, the entire Pillar of Descent, spanning reality and the Vortex, inherently possesses a dual structure and function; what we see isn't the complete form!"

This means, from the beginning, You Sui never intended to fight honestly!

For them, the outcome of each battle might not even matter; they've nothing to lose.

Despite the greater advantage in home-court battles, their arrogance in away games shows, as any mess left behind isn't theirs to clean up, why care?
