I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 266 - 36: Human Supremacy (3/3)

"Human supremacy?"

Chewing over the term "human supremacy," Wu Yi quickly grasped its meaning.

"You're right, 'human supremacy' is unfeasible."

"Even if a future Witch King truly becomes a Great Celestial God, the other Great Celestial Gods would never allow one to dominate."

"The Celestial Emperor who quietly fell ten thousand years ago serves as an excellent example."

With the wisdom of successive Witch Kings, Wu Yi naturally understood this simple truth.

Yet, he held his own perspective on the matter.

"But all this has a premise..."

"That premise is that humanity is strong enough, strong enough that even Great Celestial Gods cannot ignore our voice."

"If that day truly comes, I would feel genuinely delighted."

"However, humanity is still far from reaching that level..."

"As the Witch King, I need not ponder the distant future so far ahead."

"Every Witch King has their own duty, and my duty is to elevate humanity."

"As for issues after the rise?"

"That's up to other Witch Kings, or even those who kill the Witch King to consider."

Wu Yi's thoughts were quite pragmatic but also closely aligned with the identity of a "Witch."

To abandon solving exposed issues now due to fear of a distant and uncertain future is merely fretting excessively.

"Witches" are never idealists; they are practitioners rooted in this land.

As the Witch King, Wu Yi is the epitome of this, always having a clear understanding of "reality" versus "ideal."

"Moreover, I've changed my mind now."

"Suppressing the Nine Provinces with Nine Tripods was the plan of successive Witch Kings, but not mine as Wu Yi."

Suddenly changing the subject, Wu Yi no longer continued discussing the future with Li Boyang but redirected the conversation back to the present.

"Just as you mentioned earlier, from the moment you wanted to kill me ahead of time, the future had already changed."

"So what is the biggest variable in all of this?"

No need for Li Boyang's answer; Wu Yi already guessed the answer.

"It's my adoptive mother who wanted to 'commit suicide'."

"Because of your killing intent towards me, the future changed, allowing the Guhuo Birds to preemptively sense the impending catastrophe targeting the Gods."

"But my adoptive mother has likewise changed because of you and is different from other Guhuo Birds—she even wants to drag all the Guhuo Birds to 'commit suicide' together."

It must be said, as the adoptive son of Hidden Flight, Wu Yi indeed understands his mother better than Li Boyang.

"So she mistakenly believed you were the source of this catastrophe, thinking you could help her achieve true 'release.'"

Though still smiling, Wu Yi's voice had lost all traces of mirth.

"My mother, she always underestimates her child."

"Even if her child had become the Witch King, even if her child possessed greater power than her..."

"But in a mother's eyes, a child is always a child."

"She never thought that I was the actual source of this catastrophe."

"She hasn't realized that I have even more reason than you to kill that group of Guhuo Birds."

"In the name of 'revenge'..."

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

At the foot of the mountain, Mountain Village.

An entire night had passed since the collective rescue at Li Family Village last evening.

Now, only Li Jingshu, Xiao Yue, and the Unihorned Rhinoceros remained in Li Family Village.

The heavily injured Unihorned Rhinoceros lay prostrate on a large stele.

Still munching on various pills Li Boyang had specially provided him before ascending the mountain.

These pills included those for healing, replenishing Qi, as well as strengthening the Unihorned Rhinoceros's physique and abilities.

Thanks to Li Boyang's generosity, the Unihorned Rhinoceros's injuries healed significantly within just a few hours, with the horn atop its head gradually restored to its original state.

It couldn't go unmentioned that the Unihorned Rhinoceros's tolerance for various pills exceeded Li Boyang's imagination.

Ordinary beings, even Gods, require time to absorb and digest pills.

Yet the Unihorned Rhinoceros could chew through piles of them like candy, without showing any side effects.

In some sense, this could also be seen as a kind of exceptional talent.

"Uncle, what do you think Little Bro and your Witch King are really discussing?"

Gazing anxiously towards the mountain peak.

Li Jingshu wasn't worried about the two breaking off talks but rather worried they might reach an agreement.

After all, even the Unihorned Rhinoceros knew how crucial Li Boyang was to the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

As one of the biggest beneficiaries, how could Li Jingshu not know?

"Don't worry, things may be different than what you fear."

Easily seeing through Li Jingshu's little concern, Xiao Yue's thoughts were entirely opposite to hers.

Recalling the scenes witnessed with Wu Yi along the way, and the subtle atmosphere during Hidden Flight's "death" last night.

Xiao Yue knew Wu Yi and Li Boyang no longer had the chance to become "Inheritor" and "Successor."

Unfortunately, Xiao Yue was just a simple brute.

Apart from the intuition bestowed by the Heterodox Path Primordial Spirit, he couldn't perceive the fundamental contradiction between Wu Yi and Li Boyang.

What could be confirmed was that the real relationship between the two was not nearly as calm as it seemed last night.

"Speaking of which, that girl last night was indeed the previous Three-eyed Baby Girl, right?"

"I never expected she'd grow so much in the blink of an eye, and she looks pretty good too." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Quickly changing the subject, Xiao Yue mentioned yesterday's "trigger"—Lu Huaijin.

"Did you fancy her?"

"Thinking of abducting her back to your Great Witch as a disciple?"

Shooting a glance at Xiao Yue, Li Jingshu teasingly asked in mock surprise.

She hadn't forgotten that a few years ago Xiao Yue wanted to take her away from the Hundred Lands Mountain Range to Great Xia to learn real witchcraft.

"Not necessary, we can't educate a potential Guhuo Bird."

Shaking his head firmly to deny, though Xiao Yue hadn't seen Lu Huaijin facing Hidden Flight alone.

He vividly remembered Lu Huaijin's "blackening" at the last moment.

He doubted that his Great Witch could teach such a naturally mischievous child well.

"You're that girl's teacher now, aren't you?"

First nodding affirmatively, Li Jingshu then corrected:

"Our mountain's 'teacher' and your understanding differ a bit..."

"I'm only responsible for some enlightenment and introductory education; physical training, cultivation, and hunting techniques are taught by others."

"If they want to learn other things, the old village chief and Xiao'e will also bring various people to provide separate guidance."

Blinking, Xiao Yue suddenly realized.

"I see, it's quite a good educational method, though not conducive to nurturing and discovering true talent."

"Sacrificing the learning pace of geniuses for ordinary people, that's the educational method proposed by that Prophet, right?"

"He considered all mountain people as 'humans,' hence the extensive efforts to promote such education."

"Sadly, our Great Xia defines 'human' slightly differently than your Prophet."

"In our Great Xia, a group of ignorant mountain people doesn't deserve to be called 'humans.'"
