Chapter 1037: Clarification Needed
After introducing Su Yu, Senior Yang Jian proceeded to introduce the other key figures, including the cat Morning Star, Tina, and Alice.
Upon learning that Morning Star, Tina, and Alice were from the game, King Xin was greatly astonished. No wonder they didn't resemble the humans of Earth (they looked similar but had vastly different bloodlines). Only Tina's bloodline had any connection to Earth's humans, while the other two were vastly different. It turned out they were from the game! This revelation piqued King Xin's interest in the "Evolution" game immensely. He eagerly asked Tang Na for a helmet, determined to enter the game and take a look himself.
...
After introducing all the key figures on Earth, Senior Yang Jian finally introduced the grand finale—President Hu Jing.
President Hu Jing seemed to have prepared something to say to King Xin in advance.
As soon as Senior Yangjian finished his introduction, Hu Jing immediately spoke to King Xin, "Senior King Xin, I believe you must have already heard what people think of you?"
King Xin's divine consciousness had swept across the globe, allowing him to see almost everything clearly.
Putting himself in King Xin's shoes, if he were King Xin, he would definitely want to know how people evaluated him after his departure.
In the past two hours, although the cultivators of Earth had tried their best to hide the ancient texts that defamed King Xin, it was impossible to hide everything in just two hours. There were bound to be many oversights.
Moreover, President Hu Jing noticed that King Xin's expression turned visibly sour after his divine consciousness swept the globe.
Thus, it was clear that King Xin had already learned how people had defamed him, and these defamations had left him quite displeased.
...
Upon hearing Hu Jing's question, King Xin's mood, which had improved due to Su Yu, quickly soured.
Is this the current human leader? How could he be so blind? Why must he mention such a topic?
With a forced smile, King Xin replied, "Yes, I know. The wine pools and meat forests, the fox demon Daji... it seems many sins have been unjustly placed upon me. Perhaps you should ask the ancient scholars who fabricated these stories."
Upon hearing King Xin's words, the cultivators and players present all froze, their faces turning awkward.
In their younger, less knowledgeable days, they too had believed King Xin to be a tyrant, one who was beyond redemption.
But now, facing this planetary-level King Xin, how could they still hold such preconceived notions?
A tyrant indulging in pleasures could achieve planetary-level power? How was that possible?
Given King Xin's planetary-level strength, everyone knew those sins were fabricated by ancient scholars.
However, these fabrications had spread too widely, and they couldn't do anything about it.
President Hu Jing bowed to King Xin and calmly explained, "Senior King Xin, the reason why you were widely rumored to be a tyrant in the past is mainly due to the underdeveloped ancient society and the poor flow of information. Additionally, some scholars continuously distorted the truth, leading to more and more false accusations against you.
However, in modern times, the situation is different."
President Hu Jing paused slightly, then pulled out many documents from his spatial ring.
Some of these documents were very new, seemingly printed only a few years ago; others were already yellowed and severely damaged, as if they had survived many years.
President Hu Jing respectfully presented these documents to King Xin and continued, "In modern times, many scholars have discovered the truth from historical texts and archaeology. Many unearthed artifacts can prove that you were not a tyrant. On the contrary, you reduced human sacrifices, which was a great deed for the common people!
It is precisely because of this that modern society is evaluating your achievements more fairly, removing the false accusations placed upon you."
"Just these fair evaluations can't erase the rigid impressions in historical texts; it will take a lot more time. I hope you can be more understanding."
As August Wisdom (formerly Hu Jingyi) spoke, the divine consciousness of Emperor Xin swept over the documents in his hand.
Looking at the content of these documents, Emperor Xin's mood improved significantly.
Modern Chinese people have indeed uncovered many historical truths by studying ancient texts and making progress in archaeology, leading to more objective and fair evaluations in many areas. This is far better than those scholars who just fabricate things, he thought.
"Alright then." Emperor Xin smiled. "In the future, you must do a better job of clarifying things. Don't pin baseless accusations like 'loves to stroke foxes' on me."
"Absolutely, absolutely," August Wisdom immediately responded.
At the same time, August Wisdom felt a sigh of relief.
From Emperor Xin's tone, he could tell that the dissatisfaction in his heart had already dissipated considerably.
It was important not to let this matter create any friction between them.
"Let's put this matter to rest then." Emperor Xin waved his hand.
He glanced at all the humans from Earth and continued, "Everyone, today's meeting ends here. Go back and prepare for the war. However, before we conclude, I need to emphasize one point."
"Please proceed," everyone in the room replied solemnly.
Emperor Xin spoke earnestly, "Although I am the planetary representative of the Holy Song faction on Earth, there isn't much difference between the representatives of other races.
I won't be able to provide any form of assistance during the war. This is a strict order from the Holy Song, and I cannot defy it.
So, don't entertain any false hope. This battle will depend on you, do you understand?"
"Understood," the players and cultivators responded in unison.
However, everyone couldn't help but sigh deeply in their hearts.
Although everyone had long known that Emperor Xin's arrival might not bring much change to Earth's fate, hearing him say it outright still left a bitter taste in their mouths.
"Regardless, everyone must continue to strive. Once we win this war, I'll take you all to see a much broader world."
At this point, a flash of inspiration struck Emperor Xin's mind. He suddenly thought of an off-the-books solution!
This off-the-books solution might help the humans of Earth without violating the will of the Holy Song!
Emperor Xin quickly erected a soundproof barrier, a translucent black shield that immediately isolated everyone from the outside world.
Before anyone could react, Emperor Xin immediately said, "Everyone, I just thought of a decent off-the-books solution that might help in the upcoming great battle."
"Off-the-books solution?" Everyone's eyes lit up.
August Wisdom, in particular, asked urgently, "What kind of off-the-books solution?"
Emperor Xin chuckled and said, "I met a friend over 300 years ago, and this friend is also a planetary existence.
He is a master of soul studies, possessing numerous ancient soul techniques.
One of his proudest techniques is—Resurrection.
As long as a soul is intact and a rough biological template is available, he can perfectly resurrect any being in the universe up to the divine level!
By now, you should understand what I mean, right?"
