Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 407 The Situation

Good books are never stopped being updated, waiting for you to appreciate them.

"According to our station, a mysterious monster has recently appeared in Qingping Street of this city. This monster possesses considerable destructive power and has been dealt with by relevant departments. Several similar incidents of monsters attacking humans have occurred nationwide recently, and relevant departments have launched in-depth investigations into these incidents. To ensure the safety of citizens, the municipal government has decided to request the military to dispatch special forces for routine street patrols. We also urge everyone to minimize going out unless absolutely necessary..."

The monster shown on TV wasn't a hellhound, but a Thunder Tiger, presumably the monster that appeared earlier. News about the hellhound hadn't been broadcast yet, and such news would inevitably cause panic. However, the authorities had no choice, because too many people had witnessed the monster. In this information age, the internet is already flooded with videos related to monsters.

"You saw the news too," Qin Xiaochuan said to Han Kexin, sitting down on the sofa to the side. "We just bumped into one too, and it was a high-level demonic beast like a hellhound. The situation was quite alarming."

Han Kexin watched the scenes of Lei Xiehu injuring people on TV, her expression remaining indifferent. As if she hadn't heard Qin Xiaochuan's words, she asked, "What did you gain from going to Professor Chen's place?"

Qin Xiaochuan shook his head and said, "There are almost none. There are still too few historical records from ancient times. However, I have a bold idea."

"What are your thoughts?" Han Kexin asked.

Qin Xiaochuan said earnestly, "I previously guessed that Jianmu was cultivated by Fuxi to guide humans in spiritual cultivation, so as to resist the rampant demonic beasts at that time. Now the demonic beasts have returned with great strength. Even with advanced technology and weapons, it is still very difficult to deal with these demonic beasts that appear everywhere. The most important thing is that even if we can suppress the rampage of the demonic beasts, it will affect the production and development of the entire society. So I was thinking, if we could revive Jianmu and return to the ancient cultivation era, so that everyone would have the ability to protect themselves, wouldn't that solve the current predicament?"

"Your idea isn't just bold, it's downright fanciful. Compared to the restoration of Jianmu, I think immigrating to Mars would be much more feasible," Han Kexin said, picking up a grape from the plate and popping it into her mouth.

Qin Xiaochuan chuckled sheepishly. He knew that his idea was indeed wishful thinking, and he couldn't refute Han Kexin's words.

After handing the small cake to Xiaoying, Guo Shiyi came over and sat down with Han Kexin. Han Kexin handed her some grapes, and Guo Shiyi picked one up and said, "I think what Xiaochuan said makes a lot of sense. Nuwa said that the key to avoiding this disaster is to awaken people's hearts. The way for humanity to save itself lies only in its own heart, not elsewhere. Only by leading humanity onto the path of cultivation can humanity truly focus on its spiritual world. From this point of view, the restoration of Jianmu is indeed a very good starting point."

Qin Xiaochuan gestured to Han Kexin with his eyes, indicating that he also wanted some, but Han Kexin pretended not to see him. Guo Shiyi, however, cheerfully picked up a grape from the plate and tossed it to him. Qin Xiaochuan caught it with his mouth and ate it while saying, "That's right. Nuwa also said that humanity's true enemy is not the demon race, but humanity itself. After fighting Qiongqi, I realized this even more clearly. Demons can never be completely eradicated, because the real demons come from within the human heart."

At this point, Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but recall his experience of confronting the abyss of humanity under Qiongqi's influence, and his emotions became somewhat agitated. He continued, "Humans are a mixture of animality and divinity. Everyone has a dark side within them. Whether one becomes human or a demon often hinges on a single thought. Only by guiding humanity to unleash its divinity can we ensure that the development of human society does not go astray. Only by maintaining a certain degree of animality can this world always have the driving force for development. Neither should be favored; otherwise, the imbalance of yin and yang will inevitably lead to disaster."

"After saying all this, do you have any way to revive the Jianmu tree?" Han Kexin asked, rolling her eyes.

"No." Qin Xiaochuan immediately deflated. "But thinking about it this way, it does give me a direction to work towards, which is better than groping in the dark."

Qin Xiaochuan also understood that although spiritual energy cultivation had become widespread, very few people could actually cultivate to the eighth level of spiritual power. High-level combat power was scarce, and they were simply unable to withstand powerful demonic beasts. The reason for this was that the spiritual energy in Huaxu was thin. Otherwise, there would be no need to go to such great lengths.

Qin Xiaochuan caught another grape that Guo Shiyi tossed to him with his mouth. When Xiaoying saw this, she excitedly shouted, "Me too! Me too!"

Han Kexin glanced at her, ignored her, and asked indifferently, "What are your plans next?"

Guo Shiyi said, "I'm going home for a visit. My parents must be very worried about me after being away for so long. I want to let them know I'm safe and sound when I get back."

Han Kexin then looked at Qin Xiaochuan.

Qin Xiaochuan pondered, "The restoration of Jianmu is unlikely to be achieved in the short term, but we can't just wait around. More and more demonic beasts will appear in the future. The Blood Witch Clan has a lot of experience in dealing with demonic beasts. I'm thinking about whether we can get the Blood Witch Clan and the Demon Hunters to cooperate and resist the demons together. Maybe that can solve our current urgent problem."

Upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Han Kexin and Guo Shiyi stared at him in shock. After a long while, Han Kexin said, "I think your idea is even more unreliable than the revival of the Jianmu tree."

Qin Xiaochuan said dismissively, "Times are changing, and situations are evolving. We can't judge the future world with past perspectives. The human race and the Blood Witch race never had any conflict of interest; they only became enemies because of a misunderstanding. Right now, the most troublesome thing for demon hunters is the invasion of monsters, and monsters are the common enemy of both the human and Blood Witch races. Isn't it said that the enemy of my enemy is my friend? If the Blood Witch race can assist demon hunters in resisting monsters, I think demon hunters know how to be flexible."

Guo Shiyi nodded and said, "Not only should the Blood Witch Clan cooperate with the Demon Hunters, but all the major sects should also set aside their sectarian differences and cooperate with the Demon Hunters. After all, this is a common disaster for humanity, and only by working together can we overcome it. If everyone only cares about their own interests, they will be defeated one by one by the demon race sooner or later."

"Well said. Humanity is facing a critical juncture of life and death. We must form a united front and fight side by side. Unilateralism has no future." Qin Xiaochuan gave Guo Shiyi an approving look.

"So what exactly are your plans?" Han Kexin asked.

Qin Xiaochuan scratched his head and said, "I don't know anyone among the Demon Hunters, so I plan to talk to Shiyi's master first. I think with his position, he must have connections with the higher-ups among the Demon Hunters, and he is also an easily persuaded person. Letting him act as the middleman is a good choice."
