Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1797 - 1,148 Jiang Chen arrived

King Wu wants to sacrifice himself for righteousness, so that he doesn’t have to be conflicted. He also knows that his subordinates may not understand his choice, and it’s estimated that many would be unwilling to follow his orders.

However, it no longer matters; those who are willing to listen to him can follow him, and those who are not willing can do as they please. Whether they continue to resist the Demon Clan or completely turn towards the Master of the Heavenly Palace, it no longer concerns him.

Although saying this sounds a bit selfish, that’s exactly what King Wu thinks. Once he dies, how could he still manage the choices of these people?

How everyone else decides naturally has nothing to do with him.

As for himself, no matter what, he will not leave a good name in the history books of the Human Race. But because he died on the battlefield of the myriad races, at least he won’t become a sinner of the Human Race, at most a figure mixed with praise and condemnation.

To have this outcome, King Wu is already quite satisfied.

"Your Majesty, reconsider!"

The crowd urged, King Wu is their mainstay; if King Wu falls, they can’t dare to imagine their own future.

"My mind is made up, do not persuade me further."

King Wu coldly interrupted them; now he is wholly focused on seeking death, and no one’s persuasion can change that. That he didn’t force everyone to die with him is already his greatest mercy.

Otherwise, as the Human King, what he should do is to kill all those clansmen who are unwilling to go to death with him.

At this point, if they’re still unwilling to go to death with him, what sort of thoughts are in their minds is clear at a glance. It’s merely believing the words of the Master of the Heavenly Palace, planning to temporarily cooperate with the Demon Clan.

And in King Wu’s view, this is betraying the Human Race.

Even if what the Master of the Heavenly Palace says is true, so what? In life, there are always some bottom lines that must not be crossed. And cooperating with the Demon Clan is King Wu’s bottom line.

Today, for the so-called greater good, one can throw away irreconcilable grudges to cooperate with the Demon Clan. Wouldn’t tomorrow, for the greater good, the grudge between the Human Race and the Demon Clan be resolved?

The day after, for the greater good, the Human Race might start living in harmony with the Demon Clan.

The bottom line is breached step by step like this, so the best way is to hold the bottom line from the start, not giving an inch!

Cooperating with the Demon Clan is the beginning of resolving grievances, so no matter how justified the reasons of the Master of the Heavenly Palace might be, King Wu would not approve.

The Human Race and the Demon Clan will never coexist. This is the oath of the entire Human Race, and cooperating with the Demon Clan is betraying the Human Race. From start to finish, King Wu believes he is of the Human Race, so he will never betray the Human Race.

Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness cannot both be fulfilled, King Wu has no other way but to destroy himself.

In King Wu’s view, his subordinates should ideally make the same choice as him; this would honor their origins and repay the teachings of their master.

Of course, even if they prefer to live in fear of death, willing to betray the Human Race and cooperate with the Demon Clan rather than die with him, King Wu wouldn’t blame them.

He must bear the main responsibility for the reason why everyone has come to this point. Since that’s the case, how could he have the face to blame others? He respects everyone’s decision, but once the path is chosen, one must be prepared for the corresponding consequences.

Currently, King Wu can offer them nothing, so he can only let his subordinates find their own way out.

Whether to turn to the Nine States Human Race, or to the Master of the Heavenly Palace, it’s all up to them.

King Wu still hopes they can turn to the Nine States Human Race. In this way, although their status will be much lower, at least their lives will be saved, and they won’t bear the name of traitors. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

But if they turn to the Master of the Heavenly Palace, their future will certainly be a dead-end with no place to hide. Based on King Wu’s understanding of Jiang Chen, he might forgive anyone, but he would never forgive traitors.

He will definitely find every way possible to eradicate all traitors, as he did with the previous lineage of strangers, who bounced around for so long, yet Jiang Chen never acted upon them.

But as soon as they turned to Taiyi, Jiang Chen immediately annihilated them with thunderous means, exterminating the entire clan from top to bottom, leaving no one alive.

Jiang Chen’s action was nothing less than a warning to the Immortal World Human Race: internal division might be forgivable, but betrayal of the Human Race is truly a dead-end.

"Even if Your Majesty does not think for yourself, you should think for the young men below, who are still young and have such a bright future. How can they follow you to die?"

Seeing their attempts at persuasion were in vain, they played the emotional card, but King Wu remained unmoved.

"Precisely because I considered them, I made this decision. To die on the battlefield is far better than becoming a sinner of the Human Race. If they cooperate with the Demon Clan, do you think they’ll be able to hold up their heads and live as people in the future?"

King Wu glared angrily at the crowd; if they truly considered the young men, they shouldn’t entertain ideas of cooperating with the Demon Clan, which is the real self-destructive path.

"..."

The crowd wanted to speak up again, but they suddenly found themselves unable to utter a word. Unwilling to listen to their nonsense, King Wu directly sealed their mouths using a Divine Ability and immobilized them in place.

Then, King Wu walked straight out of the hall and shouted to the Human Race of the Immortal World outside:

"Now the Demon Clan is oppressing our race too much, even demanding us to offer young boys and girls. As the Human King, I feel deeply humiliated and even more ashamed of our ancestors, so I have decided to fight to the death with the Demon Clan. Will you join me in killing towards the Demon Clan?"

It is more than a mere humiliation. Since the Human Race became the protagonists under Heaven and Earth, it is the first time they have been bullied to such an extent, with direct demands for young boys and girls, and even asking the Human King directly.
