I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 264 - 34: Common Lord? Human King! (1/3)

"In our era, the Witch King of Great Xia is called the 'Common Lord.'

"However, in the era of the first Witch King, he was truly the 'Human King!'

"He would seriously listen to the voices of the most humble mortals and respond..."

"He would also clear an area of mountain forests and water veins of gods for the death of an ordinary person..."

As Wu Yi continuously recounted the achievements of the first Witch King, he admired that Human King from the bottom of his heart and firmly believed he was a model worth learning from.

"If you want to become the second true 'Human King,' then you must adapt to your current state."

Wu Yi never expected that such high expectations were placed on him.

Li Boyang looked at the earnest expression on the other's face and could only give a helpless wry smile.

"You have too high an expectation of me; I don't want to become any 'Human King.'

"I thought you in Great Xia had some secret method to master the ability to listen to the voices of all beings as mortals."

"In the end, I didn't expect that you all actually use the most primitive way to hold on..."

"Those who withstand become the Witch King, and those who can't become sacrifices."

Unable to stop himself from sighing, this was an answer Li Boyang had never thought of before.

"Haha, the 'Witch King' is not as simple as you think."

"Listening to the voices of all beings is just the starting point; it's a trait common to all Innate Divine who accomplish great deeds."

"Unfortunately, the vast majority of Innate Divine ultimately choose to become gods instead of standing firmly on the side of humans."

Unhesitatingly denying Li Boyang's claim, Wu Yi spoke in a defiant tone.

"We are the Witch King, the Common Lord of Great Xia..."

"Because we possess the power to sweep away the gods, making those who deem themselves noble gods bow obediently."

As he said this, Wu Yi's tone paused slightly.

"Before every Witch King's life ends, they will pass their power and wisdom to the next Witch King."

"So, standing before you now is not just the ninth Witch King, Wu Yi, but also a collective of the previous eight Witch Kings."

The tone suddenly became somber, and his gaze softened...

The one conversing with Li Boyang now wasn't the individual "Wu Yi" but the collective will known as the "Witch King."

"From the Primitive Era thousands of years ago to today's Alliance of All Xia..."

"The power of the 'Witch King' only grows stronger, to the point that even the Celestial Gods have no choice but to listen to the voices of mortals."

"More importantly, what accumulates from generation to generation of Witch Kings is not only power but also their knowledge and wisdom."

"Pure power can only destroy order; only true wisdom can reshape order..."

"In today's Hundred Lands Mountain Range, we see such a new order."

"Trust us; you need the wisdom of the Witch King, and you will lead humanity toward a better future." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Gazing at Wu Yi for a long time, Li Boyang remained silent for a moment before saying.

"I admit, the knowledge and wisdom of past Witch Kings are indeed very appealing..."

"But if the price is to become a part of 'you,' then I would rather explore those unknowns myself."

Li Boyang's words were not directed at Wu Yi.

He believed the "Witch King" on the other side could understand his meaning.

"What a pity, you are clearly so similar to 'us.'"

Although it was expected, the "Witch King" couldn't help but sigh.

"More than this, I'm actually more curious about why you're so eager to find a successor?"

"If the information I have is correct, each Witch King only seeks a new Witch King when their lifespan is about to end."

"But Wu Yi just became the Witch King a few years ago; isn't it too hasty?"

Undoubtedly, this information was obtained from Xiao Yue by Li Boyang.

"Prophet of the Mountain People, have you truly understood the history of Great Xia?"

...........................

Great Xia was born thousands of years ago when the first Witch King swept through the gods with his own power and established a nation as a human.

Before that, humans didn't even have the concept of a "state."

It was only after the first Witch King that various Fang Kingdoms emerged, and the order acknowledged by the gods today was established.

From this perspective, calling that first Witch King the 'Human King' is indeed not wrong.

However, after the first Witch King refused to become a god and instead passed his power to the next Witch King, Great Xia's status was not smooth or unassailable.

On the contrary, without the suppression of the first Witch King, a considerable number of gods wished to return to the Primitive Era.

This led to continuous confrontations between successive Witch Kings and numerous gods.

At the height of these confrontations, Great Xia even lost its nation several times.

The contemporary Witch King became a rebel hunted by everyone.

Those gods took the opportunity to seize control of the entire country, turning humans into their slaughtering livestock.

Fortunately, every Witch King was blessed with the wisdom and power of the previous generation, allowing them to repeatedly make comebacks and suppress those unruly gods.

It took thousands of years to forge the current order of Great Xia.

Even so, the confrontation between the Witch King and the gods continues.

However, the confrontation between the two sides gradually shifted from overt to covert, becoming more unpredictable.

Aside from other things, the first thing Wu Yi did after becoming the Witch King was to overthrow the offerings to the gods, and then place his own statue in front of the Divine Temple.

This was not just to establish his own prestige.

It was also to minimize the influence of the gods on Great Xia.

The result is predictable; Wuzhiqi initiated a rare flood in a millennium, and more gods fanned the flames behind the scenes.

Fortunately, Wu Yi quelled this internal strife with absolute strength, restoring peace in Great Xia.

However, outside of Great Xia, on the land of the Nine Provinces, many humans are still paying the price for this struggle between the Witch King and the gods.

The Hundred Lands Mountain Range was fortunate to have Li Boyang, making the flood appear to have few consequences.

But in fact, as long as you step out of the realm of Great Xia and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range,

you'll find more mountain people and wildlings standing tearfully in front of their ruined homes.

They are the most numerous and insignificant victims of this unforeseen disaster.

— Humans have never been the protagonists of this era; the gods are.

As long as the general trend of this era does not change, no matter how many times the Witch King restores the nation, there will always be another crisis of losing the nation.
