Chapter 1416: Chapter 1364–Chapter 1365: Life Simulation–Regretting Not Being Able to Act for the Human Race Chapter 1416: Chapter 1364–Chapter 1365: Life Simulation–Regretting Not Being Able to Act for the Human Race “Xi, are we expanding too quickly? It's clear that there's some hollowness in our growth. If we continue like this, I fear we may brew a great disaster,” Sui said to Pei Xuanjing with worry on his face.
By then, their party had already returned from the Royal Capital of Fire Country and had dealt with all matters pertaining to the Royal Capital of Fire Country.
After suppressing the Incarnation of the Fire God, the terrifying combat power displayed by Pei Xuanjing directly deterred the covetous aspirations of the other ancestors of Fire Country who had leaped from the nets of the Fire God and ascended to Divine Position.
Despite their status as Gods, they would also have to retreat three feet in the face of the mighty Fire God. Now, someone who could suppress the Fire God was absolutely not someone they could contend with, even if it was just an Incarnation of the Fire God that was being suppressed.
And after those Gods departed, what they faced next was how to deal with the ruler of Fire Country.
Though it was brutal and bloody for the ruler of Fire Country to consider his subjects merely as grain or food for his pasturage as he learned from the message Pei Xuanjing had relayed, the evidence they had gathered, and what he witnessed with his own eyes during the descent of the Fire God.
However, this perspective belonged to the ruler of Fire Country, not to the human race, nor to Pei Xuanjing and Sui.
From the standpoint of the human race, the opposing side had harmed the Qi Luck of the human race by sacrificing it, had deceived Sui, used Sui, betrayed Sui, and disrupted Pei Xuanjing's plans; they were utterly unforgivable.
Indeed, the ruler of Fire Country had shown kindness by raising Sui, but his scheming, use, and betrayal of Sui were undeniable; this sequence of actions undeniably eroded the affection between the two, causing Sui to become completely disillusioned and even desperate, unable to treat him with any prior fondness.
Regarding the ruler of Fire Country's fate, Pei Xuanjing gave all the right of decision to Sui because the ruler and Sui had a bonded grace. Whatever decision Sui made, Pei Xuanjing would not question it, even if Sui chose to release the ruler of Fire Country.
Of course, under such circumstances, Pei Xuanjing would begin to contemplate one thing: whether Sui was truly capable of bearing the responsibilities for the human race.
In the end, Sui's decision actually satisfied Pei Xuanjing quite a bit. He had not foolishly shown mercy, believing that the grace between them was inextinguishable and then grandly releasing the ruler of Fire Country. Of course, he was not ruthless enough to insist on the ruler of Fire Country's execution.
The choice that Sui made was interesting; he left everything to destiny.
According to Sui, since his foster father plotted everything for his own ascent to godhood and had such a deep obsession with becoming a god, it was only fair to grant him an opportunity.
After stripping him of everything, he allowed the ruler of Fire Country to face the Divine Calamity. If he survived, it would prove that Tiandu had forgiven him, but if he died under the Divine Calamity, it would be proof that it was his Heavenly Mandate, and that not even heaven and earth wished for him to live.
To someone as ambitious as the ruler of Fire Country, this result was rage-inducing, but he was helpless because he clearly could not match the terrifying demigod of the human race; if he refused, he would face nothing but death.
On the contrary, if he faced the Divine Calamity, even having lost everything, the absence of coveting from the Fire God could mean a sliver of survival.
Unfortunately, the ruler of Fire Country was not very lucky. Having lost his Heavenly Mandate, and even without the coveting of the Fire God, he could not overcome the Divine Calamity and ultimately perished.
When the ruler of Fire Country fell, it signified the complete severance of the relationship between Fire Country and Sui; whether it was a matter of grace or resentment, there were no ties left between them, and should they meet again in the future, they would likely be enemies.
Back in the Kingdom of Suiming, buoyed by the residual might of Pei Xuanjing suppressing the Incarnation of the Fire God, they began their conquests in all directions. As the armies from Suiming City marched, they encountered little resistance and easily expanded their territories, bolstering their forces grandly.
But beholding the seemingly flourishing and rapidly ascending Kingdom of Suiming, Sui held several concerns. He worried that this prosperity was only superficial and that their inability to fully assimilate it all would create future problems.
But Pei Xuanjing consoled him, “The reason I previously restrained you from expansively claiming territories was that we were not yet ready; at least, I had not fully understood the true power of these Gods, and the Kingdom of Suiming couldn't assimilate everything.”
“However, now is different. Having witnessed the true strength of the Fire God, I am confident that even if the Fire God himself descends, he would not pose a threat to us.”
“Moreover, you need to understand one thing; the moment I clashed with the Fire God, the rise of the human race was laid bare before the God Clans and the many Gods, no longer hidden from view.”
“You know better than I do that any Mortal Clan wishing to ascend will inevitably face obstruction from the God Clans because it threatens their interests. If the God Clans are silent for now, it's only because my presence poses a threat to them. They cannot contend with me, so they silently endure.”
“But the patience of these God Clans is not eternal. Or rather, for these God Clans, they are currently powerless, waiting for the moment when their patron Gods descend. Then, they will surely counterattack against us.”
