Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 2598: Chapter 2598: The Heart Is Never Satisfied, Like a Snake Trying to Swallow an Elephant

Although he felt uncomfortable in his heart, Su Yang also knew that these three Crystal Skulls were right. This Great World is the last hope of the Human Clan. All four of them could sacrifice themselves here, but this Great World, no matter what, must be protected!

Taking a deep breath, Su Yang lifted his spirits and also jumped into the vortex.

The vortex had no power at all; Su Yang was like walking through a door and quickly arrived at another passage.

This passage was exactly like the previous one Su Yang had walked through, with nothing special about it.

Su Yang couldn’t help but recall what the Great City Lord had said, that behind the vortex, the situation in each passage was the same. They all connected to the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and every passage was almost identical, making it impossible to distinguish one from another. Naturally, it was also impossible to know from which passage he had entered before.

However, one thing was very clear: Su Yang did not sense the aura of the Great Main God or Dao Ji here. This meant that they had not entered this passage.

Without any hesitation, Su Yang immediately turned around and walked into the vortex again.

This time, Su Yang appeared in another passage, still the same as before. However, Su Yang knew that this passage was no longer the previous one.

Behind this vortex were passages leading to the Three Thousand Great Worlds. Theoretically, the number of passages would equal the number of Great Worlds. Therefore, the probability of returning to the previous passage at once was very low.

After feeling for a while in this passage and still not sensing the aura of the Great Main God or Dao Ji, he retreated and chose a new passage again.

After walking through more than thirty passages in this way, Su Yang finally sensed the aura of Dao Ji and immediately pursued along the passage.

Su Yang was initially worried about whether he could catch up with Dao Ji, but facts proved that he was completely overthinking. Dao Ji had not gone very far, and when Su Yang found him, he was sitting not far from the vortex, with Qing Guang floating beside him, and Dao Ji was barely alive, nearing death.

Su Yang was bewildered. When Dao Ji came in earlier, although he was severely injured, it wasn’t enough to cost him his life. How could he be so severely injured in such a short time? Could it be that he was caught up by the Great Main God? But if the Great Main God caught up with him, why not simply kill him?

With this doubt, Su Yang quickly rushed over because Qing Guang was still there, which was also his main reason for coming in.

Seeing Su Yang approaching, Dao Ji had no intention of fleeing; he just showed a bitter smile, as if he had completely given up.

After Su Yang arrived, he first collected the mass of Qing Guang, then looked coldly at Dao Ji.

"Don’t bother looking, I’m not far from death!" Dao Ji’s voice was weak, "The human heart is never satisfied, trying to swallow an elephant. I could never digest Qing Guang’s power. I attempted to devour this mass of Qing Guang and ended up with this result; it’s all my own doing."

Su Yang frowned, so Dao Ji wasn’t injured by the Great Main God? He wanted to devour Qing Guang and was then counterattacked by it?

However, thinking about it, it made sense. Dao Ji took away Qing Guang precisely to devour it, convert it into his own power, and fight for that slim chance.

He chose to devour it here because he had no other path to take. Going further would lead him to the Guardian Land of other Great Worlds, and with his current situation, would he still have a chance to survive if he went to the Guardian Land of other Great Worlds?

He intended to devour Qing Guang here to make a desperate attempt to elevate his strength. As long as he recovered his power, he’d have a chance of survival no matter which Great World he went to.

But he didn’t expect that he couldn’t devour Qing Guang at all, and instead, he was counterattacked by Qing Guang, leading to this outcome. His talk of bringing it on himself wasn’t untrue; he really did sin beyond redemption.

Su Yang carefully looked at Dao Ji and found that he truly had no hope of survival, so he didn’t make any further moves.

"Do you regret it?" Su Yang asked softly.

"Regret?" Dao Ji smiled: "I never regret anything I’ve done!"

"Stubborn!" Su Yang said coldly.

"Stubborn?" Dao Ji laughed again: "You, surnamed Su, know well that history is written by the victors. If I had succeeded this time, inherited the legacy of the Heaven Slayer, and become the foremost in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, then, when I control everything, you would be the villains who have killed countless lives. And I would be the hero who turned the tide, saved the Three Thousand Great Worlds from danger, and became a revered existence admired by all!"

Su Yang looked at Dao Ji and said softly, "So, even now, you still think you did nothing wrong?"

"I have never thought that I did anything wrong!" Dao Ji replied calmly.

"You are of the Human Clan; yet, you treat the Human Clan like this, causing the deaths of so many Human Clan members?" Su Yang said coldly. "Do you think this is not wrong?"

"Heh heh..." Dao Ji sneered: "How do you know that after I receive the Heaven Slayer’s legacy, I won’t protect the Human Clan? How do you know, once I become the first in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, whether I will protect or slaughter the Human Clan?"

Su Yang frowned and said, "All you say is once you become the first in the Three Thousand Great Worlds. But the issue is, before you even become the first, your hands are already drenched in the blood of your own kind. This sin cannot be washed away."

"Why should I wash away this sin?" Dao Ji sneered again: "Or rather, why do you think this counts as sin? It is said that a general achieving success causes bones to wither; how can great deeds be done without sacrifices? Is everyone supposed to be as hypocritical as you and hesitate indecisively over so-called human life? Let me tell you, with your character, you will never be able to control the Three Thousand Great Worlds!"

"I’ve never thought about controlling the Three Thousand Great Worlds!" Su Yang said coldly: "All I want is to protect the Human Clan. I’ve never believed that the Guardian God can trample on anyone, but I’ve also never thought about completely destroying the Guardian God!"

"So, you want the Human Clan to coexist peacefully with the Guardian God?" Dao Ji laughed wildly: "Do you really think that’s possible, surnamed Su? Will the Guardian God coexist peacefully with beings they see as nothing more than ants?" frёewebηovel.cѳm

Su Yang maintained a calm expression, "One day, they will come to see it as rightful." frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

"Hahaha..." Dao Ji laughed wildly: "Even if I don’t have long to live and won’t see the day of your disappointment, I can still tell you. You, surnamed Su, are completely delusional!"
