Chapter 55

Those who carry firewood for the masses should not be left to freeze to death in the wind

Zhao Xuansu looked at Ying Changqing with an imposing aura, as if a god had descended to earth.

Ying Changqing gripped an ancient sword engulfed in flames and swung it fiercely into the sky.

"With a single thought...flowers bloom!"

The voice was very soft, but Zhao Xuansu still heard those four words clearly.

In an instant, countless swords of energy bloomed like flowers, igniting pale purple flames around Ying Changqing.

Immediately afterwards, countless pale purple sword energy shot into the sky, forming a long river of pale purple sword energy that cleaved towards the black clouds.

On the banks of the Wei River.

Ying Changqing's actions have instilled fear in Zhao Xuansu.

Zhao Xuansu only wanted to escape and dared not confront Ying Changqing again.

He exerted all his power to control the endless river of sword energy, which surged toward the dark clouds in the sky.

Boundless thunder roared in the clouds, and lightning continuously struck the river of sword energy.

The river of sword energy was unimpeded and surged all the way to the heavens.

"A single thought can shatter a galaxy, causing a flower to fall!"

Ying Changqing roared, and pale purple flames ignited in the sky.

All three thousand pale purple sword blades shattered, splitting the thick, dark clouds in two.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky.

They could clearly see that deep within the thick black clouds, there was a strange, pale purple lotus flower.

After the clouds broke, the flower slowly bloomed.

After the flowers withered, they noticed that the rain had lessened.

The rain gradually weakened and eventually stopped completely.

The dark clouds were completely torn apart, and sunlight shone through the broken clouds, illuminating everyone's faces.

The sunlight saved them, saving their lives and their homes.

Everyone burst into tears of joy.

"Thank God! The rain has stopped!"

"The rain has stopped, we won't die, our home won't be washed away, we're safe!"

Everyone looked at the pale purple, burning, withered lotus flower in the sky, and they all knelt down and kowtowed.

Their eyes were filled with the joy of surviving a disaster.

"Thank God for His intervention! Thank God for His protection!"

The people within dozens of miles of the Wei River who were unaware of Ying Changqing's existence stood in stark contrast to the four or five hundred strong men in Weihe Village.

All the men knelt before Ying Changqing and kowtowed forcefully.

Their gazes toward Ying Changqing were filled with awe, like believers worshipping a god.

On behalf of the more than 1,500 people of Weihe Village, Wang Liu kowtowed to Ying Changqing in gratitude.

"Your Highness saved our entire village, and we will never forget your kindness."

Niu Laosan said loudly, "Your Highness saved my life. I have no special skills, only strength."

"If you need anything, just say the word. I'll do anything, even if it means facing mountains of knives and seas of fire!"

Li Huaiyuan stated, "We will enshrine a memorial tablet for Your Highness's great kindness, so that our descendants will remember you forever."

The crowd shouted in unison, "We, the people of Weihe Village, will forever remember the Prince's kindness and pass it down from generation to generation!"

The more than 400 villagers of Weihe Village were very excited. They looked at Ying Changqing with great interest and were too grateful to speak.

Seeing the villagers' simple and happy smiles, Ying Changqing immediately understood the importance of his mission.

The Illusionary Galaxy is a treasure of the Yin-Yang School and cannot be used for one year.

But that doesn't matter, as long as you have a clear conscience.

"Fellow villagers, please stand up."

"You should go home and pack your bags now; your families are waiting for you to reunite."

Tell them, you no longer need to leave your hometown, you are safe!

After Ying Changqing finished speaking, everyone looked up at each other.

Everyone's eyes regained their light, a light of hope.

Then, without waiting for anyone to give instructions, they spontaneously kowtowed to Ying Changqing.

"Thank you, Prince Ying Changqing. We will always remember your kindness."

"Your family is waiting for you. Go back now, I have to go too."

Those present then turned and left, looking back as they went, until they could no longer see them.

"Thump!"

After walking only a few hundred steps, they suddenly knelt down on the ground.

No one took the lead; they knelt down on their own because they were genuinely grateful.

"bye!"

Village chief Wang Liu shouted, and everyone faced Ying Changqing on the embankment, respectfully kowtowed three times, and then slowly left.

Ying Changqing watched their departing figures with surprise.

"This is the power of humanity!"

A new power immediately appeared within Ying Changqing's body.

This force is weak, but extremely powerful.

He understood that this power was called the power of humanity, which came from every life in the world.

One person, ten people, one hundred people, one thousand people, one million people.

People's wishes and expectations are power.

The aspirations of millions of people come together to form the power of humanity.

Ying Changqing's breathing quickened. He was usually calm, but a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Others may not understand how powerful human forces are, but Ying Changqing has memories of his past life and knows clearly how terrifying they are.

This power surpasses all martial arts, Taoist arts, Yin-Yang techniques, and sword formations.

It cannot be obtained through conventional training.

With the power of humanity, one can create a new world, greatly enhance one's cultivation, and is the key to reaching the realm of infinity.

Master Tang Guo reached the realm of infinity by relying on human power, disregarding all laws and becoming invincible in the world!

Ying Changqing never expected that his actions would lead him to accidentally gain insight into acquiring human power.

However, he currently only possesses a faint trace of human power.

We cannot create miracles, nor can we enter the realm of the infinite.

But this tiny bit of human power is just a tiny seed.

It will eventually enter the realm of the infinite and lay a solid foundation for the world's upgrading.

At the same time, once this seemingly weak trace of human power is released, it will immediately grant Ying Changqing unparalleled strength.

This power is even stronger than the star power accumulated by Illusionary Starfall over a year.

Ying Changqing stared at the Yin-Yang School's treasure, the Illusionary Star River, in his hand, which had darkened and resembled an ordinary crystal ball.

"Is this what it means to not let those who carry firewood for the masses freeze to death in the snow, or to not let those who pave the way for freedom be trapped in thorns?!"

"I never imagined that such a short sacrifice would bring such a great reward!"

Bei Mingzi watched the villagers' departing figures and heard the faint aura emanating from Ying Changqing, speechless.

Finally, he spoke.

"Your Highness, the most dangerous moment is about to begin."

"The rain has stopped, but the Wei River has swelled dramatically, and the current huge waves cannot be stopped by this broken dam."

"If you hadn't been standing on the dam and using your inner strength to hold it down, the dam would have collapsed long ago, and the Wei River would have breached its banks."

……

"The prince's actions are truly admirable!"

Bei Mingzi clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.

Ying Changqing was still immersed in excitement as he felt the human power emerging within his body.

It took me quite a while to come to my senses.

Before my eyes, the Wei River still flows swiftly and turbulently.

Nangong Pushe, Ehuang Nüying, and the others quickly came to Ying Changqing's side.

Because they heard Bei Mingzi say that what happened next was the most important and dangerous thing!
