You have truly caused me great suffering!
Chapter 86 You have truly caused me great suffering! (Please continue reading)
Yu Xiaogang's face was more unsightly than ever before.
As those scenes unfolded against the sky, his breathing became noticeably rapid, his Adam's apple bobbed, and a barely concealed fear even flashed deep in his eyes.
That wasn't fear of the sky.
Instead, it was directed at Yu Yuanba.
More precisely, it was a fear of the path he could never understand in his entire life, yet which had been repeatedly proven to be correct.
"kindness?"
Yu Xiaogang sneered inwardly, almost gritting his teeth.
"It's nothing more than a fig leaf for losers to comfort themselves."
"So-called selflessness is nothing more than a performance from a moral high ground."
"Without selfishness, without scheming, without ambition, how can one grow? How can one reach the top?"
This set of logic was the guiding principle he upheld throughout his life.
This is also the root cause of his denial of Tang San, countless geniuses, and the world.
So at this moment, when he looked at the man named Dai Longyuan in the sky, his eyes were filled with nothing but naked contempt.
He is waiting.
Waiting for an ending where "the merciful will inevitably fail".
And the sky soon displayed the scene he had been waiting for.
The Star Luo Empire, in its early days.
The first Emperor of Xingluo sat high on his throne, his gaze cold and rational.
He looked at the princes below him, his tone calm, yet sharp as a knife.
"The throne of Xingluo can only be inherited by the strongest."
"You are my children."
"They are also each other's enemies."
At this moment, the system of raising venomous insects officially began.
There was no concealment, no hypocrisy or false morality.
From that day on, the struggle between the princes was no longer an undercurrent, but a bloody game that was out in the open.
Poisoning, framing, seizing power, and sowing discord.
There were even real life-or-death battles.
Among all of this, there was one person who seemed out of place.
Dai Longyuan.
This prince, whose background was not illustrious and who was even once considered an "illegitimate child," took the initiative to stay out of the competition from the very beginning.
He publicly stated that he would not vie for the throne.
I don't take sides.
Do not form cliques.
I will not participate in any conspiracies against my brothers.
Instead, during the most chaotic period of the power struggle, he chose a path that no one could understand.
Clean up the mess.
When the infighting among the princes affected the people's livelihood, he would step in to appease them.
He personally intervened to determine which cities were plunged into chaos due to power struggles.
Even his brothers who had previously treated him coldly or even sabotaged him behind his back, were often the ones who would end up at the scene if the situation got out of control.
Over time, a strange change occurred.
Those vying for the throne saw their prestige steadily decline.
Meanwhile, the person who did not vie for the throne saw his popularity among the common people steadily rise.
"this----"
"Is something wrong?"
Beyond the sky, countless Soul Masters showed hesitation for the first time.
At that moment, the scene suddenly changed.
Only the last three princes remained.
The final stage in the true sense.
It was at this moment that Dai Longyuan finally became their common enemy.
"He cannot live."
"If this continues, even if he doesn't fight for it, the throne will be pushed to his feet."
Thus, the operation targeting Dai Longyuan began.
Framing someone is the mildest method.
The assassination was merely a test.
The truly fatal blow came when the three men joined forces to pin a death charge on him: colluding with foreign enemies and plotting treason.
The evidence is flawless.
The evidence, physical evidence, and timeline are all in a closed loop.
Even the most rigorous interrogation could not find any loopholes.
Under the cold gaze of the first Star Luo Emperor, Dai Longyuan was personally thrown into the Heavenly Prison.
The moment the iron gate slammed shut.
The entire sky suddenly fell silent.
"—Can they really turn this around?"
"They've all been thrown into prison."
"He was still convicted by the emperor himself."
"Kindness has really ruined him."
Discussions rose and fell.
Those Soul Masters who already had reservations about Dai Longyuan's "saintly approach" shook their heads even more now.
Even Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but smile with a hint of satisfaction.
"really."
"Failure was inevitable."
Just then, a deep and solemn voice rang out from within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Yu Yuanba spoke slowly.
"Those who attain enlightenment will receive much help."
Those who stray from the right path find few supporters.
"You will soon witness what a miracle truly is."
He raised his head and stared intently at the sky.
His tone was more solemn than ever before.
"No one was put on the throne."
"But Dai Longyuan will be the first."
Yu Yuanzhen and the others were taken aback.
The doubt remains unresolved.
The sky has already provided the answer.
News of Dai Longyuan's imprisonment spread throughout Xingluo City.
At first, I was just shocked.
Then came confusion.
Then came anger.
Countless ordinary people, soul masters, and soldiers took to the streets.
They may not understand power struggles or politics.
But they remember who stood in their way during the turmoil.
Who personally opened the granaries during the famine?
Who is the only one who cares about the life and death of the powerful and wealthy during their power struggles?
The voices of injustice gathered into a tide.
But Emperor Xingluo didn't care.
In his view, these sounds were nothing more than the noise of ants.
For Dai Longyuan's brothers, this was more like a warning.
The threat must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Therefore, the verdict was delivered.
death penalty.
Public execution.
The moment the news broke, Xingluo City was in an uproar.
In the far north, beneath the sky.
Li Yannian spoke slowly, his tone objective and calm.
"At first, everyone thought it was just a rescue operation at the execution ground."
"But they overlooked one point."
"When the army begins to take sides, when the soul masters begin to respond."
"Things are no longer under anyone's control."
"A person who originally had no ambition is forced to develop ambition for the sake of the vast majority."
Xue Di narrowed her eyes slightly.
She knew all too well what this change meant.
Gu Yuena gazed at the sky and murmured to herself.
"kindness----"
"Perhaps, this really is the right path."
The day of execution.
The execution ground was packed with people.
The first shout rang out the moment Dai Longyuan was led to the execution platform.
Then came the second and third sounds.
Until it all coalesced into a deafening roar.
The rescue operation at the execution ground has begun.
Initially, it was indeed just a rescue operation.
But just as Dai Longyuan was successfully rescued and the cheers of the entire city had not yet subsided, the Star Luo Emperor's army entered the arena.
An atmosphere of grimness and desolation swept over us.
However, the next moment.
In the midst of the battle formation, weapons fell to the ground.
The entire army turned around in unison.
They stood behind Dai Longyuan.
This is because most of them had received his kindness.
And this is just the beginning.
The entire city of Xingluo was in complete turmoil.
Like a tsunami.
Like a torrent.
Unstoppable.
As Dai Longyuan was ushered into the palace, he saw his father and brothers kneeling on the ground.
Looking at that once unattainable throne.
He was silent for a long time.
Finally, he revealed a bitter smile of utter helplessness.
He sighed softly, "You have truly caused me great suffering!"
