Living in the Doomsday and Becoming an Immortal Alone-Chapter 1347 - 615: Standpoint

The decisive Sword Dance, after hearing Mu Dan's initial plan, couldn't help but hesitate.

Sword Dance wasn't the type to be overly proud or not ruthless enough.

She considered the matter more comprehensively.

Wang Jixuan turned off the projection, and Mu Dan's shadow disappeared, leaving the place quiet.

After a moment.

"Though this plan sounds strange, upon careful consideration, it somewhat subtly aligns with the number of the Great Path, perhaps we should give it a try."

Sword Dance said slowly:

"All over, there are numerous living beings. Mortals are different from us cultivators, but in essence, they are also part of the Human Race.

"Though equality among all in the Immortal Realm may be a mere joke, in this world, many experts mind us using mortals in such ways.

"Affairs of immortals not involving mortals is a rule of our Human Race from ancient times, and one of the purposes of cultivation is to protect all living beings, to shelter the weak mortals.

"So, if the scheme were crafted unintentionally, it might be acceptable, but to do it deliberately... is not quite proper.

"Reputation and prestige can sometimes be quite important."

Master Wang pondered for a moment and understood Sword Dance's concerns.

This matter, if revealed, wouldn't sound good.

"Master, I am aware of your concerns as well."

Wang Jixuan replied seriously:

"Disciple does not resort to any means just to retaliate against the Heavenly Dao and Po Luo, I just believe that this is not too severe a use of mortals.

"What we have these mortals do is merely to offer incense and worship daily, and in return, we give them some responses.

"The so-called wishes and fulfillments, and then we gain incense offerings, nurturing the deity of the Heavenly Dao.

"What harm does this do to those mortals?"

"But, ultimately, this drags them into the cause and effect."

Sword Dance said:

"Moreover, the matter of becoming a deity through incense has been rumored in the Immortal Realm long ago, yet no one has been able to successfully tread this path, probably because the Heavenly Dao Conference intervenes.

"If you wish to try, it's not impossible, just select a town or city under the control of the Sword God Palace, with thirty to fifty thousand mortals, and see if there's any effect... in this way, even if things are exposed, it remains manageable."

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment, with thoughts racing through his mind.

Mu Dan and Shen Qionglin awaited Master Wang's command on their hidden earpieces.

Wang Jixuan thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "In that case, not using mortals as these incense merit makers can circumvent most of the Human Race's ethical risks?"

Sword Dance's eyes glinted with some amusement: "The word 'ethics' is often the hardest to deal with."

Wang Jixuan lowered his head to think.

He thought of mechanical bodies, cloning technology, and the Divine Wood Spirit, now Sword Spirit Little Sang.

Soon, Master Wang responded: "Disciple has a rough idea about this matter, I will discuss it further with you, Master."

"Good."

Sword Dance nodded slightly, saying no more.

There were some things she found it inconvenient to speak about, as she was the Deputy Palace Master and her words and actions represented the stance and interests of the Sword God Palace.

She believed that Wang Jixuan should have understood her intentions.

Not of our race, their hearts are different.

The Hundred Races in the Immortal Realm have not been completely enlightened and taught, and most places remain ignorant, which can be exploited somewhat.

…

Moments later, within the lab of the Second Base.

Wang Jixuan gathered the squad members to discuss how to advance the plan of blocking the Heavenly Dao.

"Tsk," Shen Qionglin crossed his arms and sneered, "This Sword Dance Palace Master really is a bit of a double standard, the lives of other intelligent races aren't lives? Only the lives of the Human Race matter?"

Wang Jixuan said nothing.

Xiao Huating whispered, "I think this is understandable, after all, the main theme of the Immortal Realm is the clan wars, where the victorious clan becomes kings, and the losers are bandits, being enslaved and slaughtered is common."

Mu Dan lightly shook her head, "Discussing these lacks meaning; it's just a difference due to everyone's different standpoint, let's discuss the subsequent matters."

Shen Qionglin said, "The initial samples of the deity must be under our absolute control, I suggest we cultivate them directly within the Third Base, those deceitful monsters also make for good experimental subjects."

Master Wang slightly raised an eyebrow: "That's a good idea, I had considered this before, like Mei, she is an ancient Human Race War General, with impressive merits, her deeds verifiable, we can use her as a sample, and establish temples for her on a wide scale, observe if there will be any effect."

Mu Dan smiled, "Mei might just have to thank you, boss."

"Would she be polite with me?"

"Uh, that's clearly sarcastic," Mu Dan reminded, "We aim to hammer these types of divine spirits into the Heavenly Dao like nails, to clog the Heavenly Dao and influence Po Luo, Po Luo will certainly retaliate later, Mei may be obliterated."

Wang Jixuan: ...

This won't work, that won't work, he might as well do it himself!

The worldly rules, the shackles of public order and good customs, are truly a fetter for Righteous Cultivators.

Wang Jixuan had thought of directly tearing away kindness, rushing towards the path of the Demon Lord, but unfortunately, he still wanted to be a good person at heart.

"Let's discuss this further."

Wang Jixuan decisively said:

"Everyone should consider alternative plans, taking half a month as the timeline. If no better solution emerges in half a month, then follow my plan, first select a few voluntary deceitful monsters from the Third Base to act as divine nails, then select a city with many mortals within the Sword God Palace's influence to promote a Divine Temple.

"Everyone, I hope you will consider a broader perspective when thinking about issues.

"Sometimes, one must resort to any means necessary.

"Because our enemy is inherently powerful, it is everywhere, it can see through time, we are almost playing an open hand against it, and as we continue to walk this path of resistance, the further we move along, the further away turning back becomes.
