Rebirth as a Willow Tree, building the strongest tribe in all of eternity Chapter 1143

Chapter 1143: Chapter 722: Conversation Between Jiang Hui and Cruel Man_2 Chapter 1143: Chapter 722: Conversation Between Jiang Hui and Cruel Man_2 Even though she had explained the seriousness of the situation and the cause and effect so clearly, she did not see the reaction she wanted in the other person.

Of course, to be precise, he wasn't necessarily looking for a reaction of utter surprise.

But upon hearing such news, no matter who it was, there should be some fluctuation in their expression.

But the other person's demeanor seemed unchanging from the beginning to the end.

Such behavior, Emperor Merciless had only seen it in one situation before.

That was with the dead,
Only the dead, with their Primordial Spirits utterly extinguished, would have no change in their facial expressions.

But the person in front of her was of considerable strength; naturally, he couldn't be dead.

Could it be that he felt the Bizarre Clan was unstoppable, hence he became numb?

That's right, even when she first learned that the Bizarre Clan could produce Emperor Realm beings in an unlimited batch, her first reaction was somewhat unable to hold back the despair.

Those insurmountable heights that peerless geniuses spent their lifetimes trying to reach were trivialized on that ominous and disastrous plateau.

Anyone would probably feel an absurd sense of futility.

Sighing, Emperor Merciless's gaze returned to Jiang Hui.

But before she had a chance to speak or think of anything comforting, the man in white like snow in front of her spoke first, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for the reminder.”

So, you've understood everything I've been saying all along?

Emperor Merciless's expression froze for a moment before she quickly recovered and nodded slightly.

Probably only if he had understood would he appear so emotionally numb.

After all, such news was too despairing.

When you finally qualify to stand before the darkness, only to realize you are merely qualified.

It's like a mortal climbing a mountain.

Some mountains can be easily scaled to their peaks.

But for others, you can only climb, and even if you exert all your strength, you might never get over it.

This is the essence of despair: victory seems so close, yet it's a chasm away.

“Fellow Daoist, there's no need to despair. The Great Taoist is divided into ten, and there's still a ray of hope. The Bizarre Clan may be fearsome, but it's not unbeatable; it's just that there are too many of them in the Emperor Realm. Ye Daoist and I are outnumbered, but as long as Emperor Huang Tian grows up and the timelines of the past, present, and future unite as one, we will surely be able to contend with the Bizarre Clan!”

At that moment, Emperor Merciless continued speaking.

She wasn't good at comforting people, and it was never possible for her to comfort others.

Except for that one person.

But naturally, Jiang Hui wasn't that person.

So Emperor Merciless simply spoke honestly about her own thoughts.

In fact,
Even in this case, it's exceedingly rare.

As the unparalleled Empress of all times, she couldn't possibly be someone of finicky character.

But in her view, Jiang Hui, The Master of Liu Village, was clearly a potential ally to be made, even one that could be pulled into the same camp, which was why she said a bit more.

Firstly, his strength was noteworthy.

Although she couldn't see through it, it should surpass the King's Domain, but it likely hadn't reached the Emperor Realm yet,
Otherwise, an aura unique to the Emperor Realm should have emanated from him.

That's a unique marker of an Emperor, a radiance that can illuminate the timeless immortal ages.

But even though he hadn't reached that level, he must be invincible in the Immortal King realm.

Secondly,
He had a very close relationship with the future Emperor Huang Tian.

The future Emperor Huang Tian showed a special respect for him.

She felt it from the first encounter.

The respect was heartfelt.

This was never mentioned in future narrations about Emperor Huang Tian.

Of course, it might be because Emperor Huang Tian cut through the ages with a single sword, and subsequent descriptions and records of him were pathetically scarce.

But in any case,
It's an established fact that his relationship with Emperor Huang Tian was close.

Having said that, Emperor Merciless fell silent completely.

Jiang Hui couldn't help but smile slightly. He obviously sensed that Emperor Merciless might have misunderstood him, but he didn't argue; there was no need.

Just listening to her,
It seemed she still didn't know about the existence of the Phantom Primordial Ancestor, and this revelation surprised him.

However, upon careful thought, that also seems about right.

After all, according to the current timeline, Emperor Merciless and Ye Fan must have only just stepped into the Realm of Immortal Emperor.

Undoubtedly strong, but not yet worthy of personal action by the Phantom Primordial Ancestor.

It's just unknown how long this situation will last, especially since the Phantom Primordial Ancestor is a genuine presence who has stepped into the Sacrificial Path State.

For the Great Taoist, there has never been a distinction between good and evil; even a thug who has blood of innocent lives on his hands will be recognized by the Great Taoist once he reaches a certain level.

This is the heartlessness of the Great Taoist, treating all beings as mere straw dogs.

Hence, if anything adverse were to happen to these two in the future, or to Emperor Huang Tian, the Phantom Primordial Ancestor should be able to sense it in advance.

That would be the Great Taoist's early warning to its affirmed ones.

With this thought, Jiang Hui suddenly realized that Emperor Merciless had come over precisely because of this matter.

The Phantom Primordial Ancestor had already a premonition.

That's why the bizarre creatures under his command were desperately searching the long river of time for Emperor Huang Tian's whereabouts, wanting to cut him down ahead of time.

“What do you plan to do next, Fellow Daoist?” Jiang Hui asked, his gaze sharp, his expression unchanging.

“To fight against the Bizarre Clan, unless we find a plan that can change the course of the battle, everything else is just fooling ourselves. For now, we can only respond to unchanging circumstances with constancy!” Emperor Merciless spoke with a hint of barely detectable weariness in his voice, mixed with a sense of helplessness and inevitability.

Having fought until now, he did not know why eternity seemed meaningless; even she, the woman who once disdained the pursuit of Immortality, also felt an unprecedented fatigue.

Yet, they absolutely could not stop.

Nor could they retreat.

They were the last hope of the Ten Thousand Clans.

Once they fell,
There would be no power left in the world to counter the existence of the Bizarre Clan.

Everything else aside, if the Origin Clan were to continue existing, this Great Thousand World, all Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, would one day utterly collapse, everything known and unknown would return to oblivion, forevermore.

She was a woman of unparalleled talents throughout the ages.

Driven by obsession, she became the Heavenly Emperor during the Epoch Shielding Heaven, and even though she could have attained Immortality, she resolutely abandoned it, struggling through countless lifetimes in the bitter sea of mortal life, shining brilliantly through eternity, probably alone, all just waiting for one person to return.

But thinking of this, Jiang Hui suddenly had a small doubt.

Was Ye Fan really the brother of Emperor Merciless?

Or just one of the bodies in the Three Lifetimes Body.

Or something else…

If not the latter's brother, why did they look exactly alike?

Having watched for too long, and skimmed through parts, he had already forgotten some of the plot, only retaining some vague and fragmented memories.

“Fellow Daoist, why do you gaze at me so intently?”

Although she spoke thus, the Empress's face was calm, her peerless beauty indescribable, her expression unrippled, her sparkling gaze fixed on Jiang Hui, as though wanting to see through him, to understand.

Such scrutiny of a person.

It had only happened once throughout the ages.

That was the time she met Ye Fan.

He resembled the man of her dreams to an uncanny degree, whether it was his every action or the proportions of the features on his cheeks, as if they were carved from the same mold.

Now was the second time.

Naturally, the reason couldn't be the same.

The reason for such scrutiny
Was primarily that Emperor Merciless had come to a delayed realization and suddenly snapped back to his senses.

His previous indifference was not due to becoming numb from the Bizarre Clan's terror.

But because his mentality far surpassed expectations.

Not to mention her spoken consequences of how grave they were, even if the Bizarre Clan truly appeared before his eyes, he might still remain the same.

Unstartled at heart, unwavering in eyesight.

Even if he witnessed the collapse of the world, the extinction of the Great Taoist, his expression would still be this indifferently cold.

Before he had completely attained the Tao, not daring to speak in the presence of the Ancient Emperors while sitting under the Enlightenment Tea Tree in the Undead Mountains, he waged war across the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, standing alone above the Nine Heavens, established at the pinnacle of humanity, overlooking the eternal Reincarnation, living through lifetimes in defiance, disdainful of the Divine Medicine, the Ginseng Fruit Tree's proactive pursuit.

Jiang Hui, however, was greeted by an acquaintance.

The first incarnation.

All things considered, it seemed he hadn't seen this incarnation, with talents sufficient to outclass any prodigy, in a full million years.

Of course, although he hadn't seen it, as the original being, Jiang Hui naturally knew of any movements of the first incarnation.

“Master!”

Feeling Jiang Hui's faint gaze, the first incarnation didn't utter another word, immediately kneeling on the ground, opening his mouth humbly and respectfully.
