Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 16507
Chapter 16505: Unwilling
No one spoke; everyone stared at Ding Chunming, their faces filled with fear. They knew perfectly well that Ding Chunming’s presence here and his words meant the sect knew everything they had done. This was devastating news for them. They had witnessed the sect’s methods firsthand, and they were probably no better off than Wan Hai and his group.
As for killing Ding Chunming and then trying to escape? They didn’t even entertain such a thought. They were well aware that if Ding Chunming dared to appear here alone, he wasn’t afraid of them doing that. If they did nothing, the sect might give them a quick death; but if they dared to attack Ding Chunming, they would likely face a fate worse than death.
Ding Chunming looked at them and then said, “Actually, I can understand. You were defeated by your sect, and you’ve always regarded the young master as your sect leader. So, suddenly regarding him as a god might be unfamiliar to you. However, you should understand the sect’s history, you’ve used the Reality Illusion, and you’ve even witnessed the young master’s power. What I’m curious about is why you think the young master doesn’t possess god-like strength? What can the God of Creation give to his followers? Probably nothing. The God of Creation can indeed make his followers suddenly stronger, but that comes at a price. You should know that the followers of the God of Creation, once they reach the Kingdom level, find it difficult to make any further progress.” “We’ve even invented a term for this situation: ‘pseudo-kingdom level.’ The God of Creation can only achieve this much, yet people still revere him as a god. But Young Master can give you endless resources, sect-protecting treasures, and the best cultivation techniques. Isn’t that even better than those gods? Why can you accept the God of Creation as a god, but not Young Master? Why? I’m curious.”
Liu Rong and the others fell silent, their faces ashen. They didn’t know why they couldn’t accept Zhao Hai as a god. Zhao Hai had done things that even the gods couldn’t. Perhaps it was a sliver of resentment, a hint of unwillingness to accept defeat? Perhaps they thought Zhao Hai was just lucky, and if they were in Zhao Hai’s position, they could do just as well. Although they knew it was impossible, a sliver of thought lingered in their hearts—that they could too. Perhaps they harbored these thoughts, which is why they couldn’t accept Zhao Hai as their god. Now that Ding Chunming had approached them, they had to pay the price for their choice.
Ding Chunming looked at these people, shook his head, and sighed softly, saying, “You have no idea what the situation is. The sect told you before that you should worship the young master, make him your god, and give him the power of faith. This isn’t just for the young master, it’s also for us. We’re about to ascend, and after that, we’ll face enemies like the God of Creation. Facing such enemies, if not the young master’s strength, are you the only ones who can do it? Even the young master isn’t confident against such enemies. That’s why the disciples of the sect must give the young master the power of faith. This power is specifically for dealing with those enemies. But what about you? You can’t even do this much. The young master didn’t ask you to do too much, did he? You won’t even give us the power of faith? If you can’t even contribute this little bit, then what right do you have to ascend with us?”
“After we ascend, we can also fight the enemy. We just don’t regard the sect leader as a god. We are still loyal to the sect leader,” a cultivator suddenly shouted, and his words expressed the sentiments of many others.
Ding Chunming looked at the cultivator with a cold smile. He said in a deep voice, “What makes you think you can defeat the God of Creation?”
“We’ve all seen the God of Creation’s strength; he’s nothing special. Even without your help, young master, we can handle him,”
another cultivator shouted. His words resonated with some others. Ding Chunming glanced at them, a cold smile on his face, and then said, “You ignorant fools! Do you really think the God of Creation is only that weak? You’re really daring to think that way. The reason the God of Creation seems so weak is because he came from the upper realm and is suppressed by the laws of this realm. Their strength can only reach this level.” “The interface’s power ceiling is not their true strength at all. You dare to say you can defeat the God of Creation? You’re courting death!”
Ding Chunming paused here, glanced at them, and then said coldly, “Do you think that Young Master made you worship him as a god just for that little bit of faith power? You’ve seen the situation in the sect. Do you think Young Master would lack your little bit of faith power? You’re too naive. You’ve been in the sect longer than the people here in the Divine Kingdom, haven’t you? Why is it that you haven’t seen as much as the people here in the Divine Kingdom?” “Do you understand? Let me tell you the truth, the young master’s reason for asking you to believe in him is actually to save you.”
Ding Chunming paused here, glanced at the group, and then continued, “Don’t you believe it? It’s normal not to. What kind of masters have you seen? Let me tell you, a master like the God of Creation, once he truly unleashes his full power, even just a glance at him could corrupt you and turn you into his follower. What happens when you become a follower of the God of Creation? You completely lose yourself and become part of his body’s power. But if you believe in the young master and become his followers, then you will be protected by his energy, and you won’t become his followers. Isn’t that protecting you? Yet you can’t even do that, so what use are you to the sect? Are you going to wait until you’re corrupted by a god like the God of Creation and then turn against us? We’re not crazy.”
Liu Rong and the others’ expressions changed drastically after hearing Ding Chunming’s words. They hadn’t expected that Zhao Hai’s request for them to believe in him had this hidden meaning; they truly didn’t know this.
Ding Chunming looked at Liu Rong and the others, then said, “Are you thinking that if the sect had told you all this earlier, you would have already believed in the young master, and things wouldn’t have come to this?”
Liu Rong and the others didn’t speak, but their expressions told Ding Chunming that this was exactly what they thought. Ding Chunming looked at them and couldn’t help but sneer, “No, this time the sect wants the power of faith, not anything else. Faith is something you either believe in or you don’t. You believed in the young master from the very beginning; you didn’t believe in him, so even if you were with him…” “No matter how much you say, you won’t believe it. Haven’t you studied the sect’s history? Haven’t you used the Real Illusion Realm? Haven’t you used the Heavenly Sphere? Haven’t you obtained a sect-protecting treasure-level magic weapon? You have all of these, but you just don’t believe it. So giving you too much time and too many opportunities is useless; you still won’t believe it.”
Liu Rong and the others stopped talking. Although they didn’t want to admit it, they knew very well that Ding Chunming was right. So many facts were right in front of them, yet they still didn’t believe it. Did they think that if the sect told them the true strength of the God of Creation, they would believe it? The answer was no. They wouldn’t believe it. They would only think that it was a lie Zhao Hai made up to deceive them and make them believe in him. Therefore, they still wouldn’t believe Zhao Hai’s words, and they still wouldn’t believe Zhao Hai. Ding Chunming was right about this.
Ding Chunming glanced at them, then sneered, “Why are you all silent now? Nothing to say? Alright, I’ve said so much to you because, although you haven’t treated the young master like a god, at least until now, you haven’t betrayed him, haven’t betrayed the sect, and haven’t tried to negotiate with the sect. That’s the best thing you’ve done. But that’s all you’ve done, so the sect has decided to only kill you, not those related to you. Isn’t that more than enough? Do you have anything else to say? You can say it now.” After saying that, Ding Chunming glanced at Liu Rong and the others.
Liu Rong glanced at the others and noticed that their expressions had calmed down. His initial sadness also gradually subsided. He let out a long breath, reflected on his life, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. He then stepped forward, bowed to Ding Chunming, and said, “Elder Ding, I have never married, and all my former family members are dead. I can say I have no ties now. However, I still have a few close friends who have completely joined the sect. But I worry that if one day they find out I’m dead, they might do something foolish like seeking revenge. So, I’ll leave this to the sect. If one day someone keeps looking for me and investigating my affairs, the sect can show this to them.” With that, he took out a jade slip, and with a flick of his wrist, it flew directly to Ding Chunming.
Ding Chunming took the jade slip and, upon examining it, discovered it was a projection jade slip. In other words, Liu Rong had left a projection inside. Ding Chunming didn’t open the jade slip to see the projection; instead, he simply put it away and looked at Liu Rong, saying, “Alright, if that day ever comes, I will give this jade slip to the person investigating this matter.”
Liu Rong watched Ding Chunming’s actions and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. He knew that Ding Chunming would probably never look at the contents of his jade slip again. Just based on this alone, they were far inferior to Ding Chunming in terms of magnanimity. He bowed to Ding Chunming and said, “Thank you, Elder Ding. I have nothing else to say. You may proceed.” He then stood there calmly. Seeing Liu Rong’s actions, some of the others also took out their jade slips, entered some information into them, and then handed them all to Ding Chunming. Ding Chunming accepted them all without saying anything. (End of Chapter)
