398 No Way Forward
Of course, Hong Yan could understand what Yuchi meant by his words.
She moved one step closer to Yuchi and took out a lollipop from her pocket. She bent down and handed the lollipop to Yue Hanjiang, who was standing behind Yuchi and looking at her with a cautious look.
When Yue Hanjiang took the lollipop with some doubt, Hong Yan’s smile became even more brilliant.
This was a flower in the true sense of the word.
Hong Yan’s facial features were distorted in this situation. Her eyes, nose, and mouth had all turned into various flower petals, so much so that a brilliant blood-red flower bloomed on her face. Although this situation was very strange, it had to be said that this flower was very beautiful.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Soon after, she smiled and said, “I think that you must be very confident in yourself to ask this question in the sense that you believe that you will reach the demigod realm for certain in the future.”
Yuchi did not have any intention of explaining further, so he simply nodded in affirmation. In any case, once he had stepped on the path to cultivation, he had already been determined to reach its peak.
Hei Yan then said with a smile, “I like your honesty. The reason why you have such thoughts is probably because you don’t have a basic understanding of the demigod realm. However, this is not a big deal. All the cultivators who have not reached the demigod realm think that they still have a long way to go in the future. They all think that fighting is constant and endless. However, when they really reach the demigod realm, all of this changes.”
“We were the same back then as well. We had no clue why everyone started cooperating peacefully either.”
“In the end, the reason is very simple. No one can surpass the demigod realm at the moment. Absolutely no one.”
Yuchi fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Was there no one who could surpass the demigod realm?
This kind of thing sounded a little unbelievable.
Could it be that there was some sort of unbridgeable gap between demigods and true gods?
That should not be the case.
There was a possibility for everything, and nothing was set in stone.
Hong Yan then continued, “On to your next question, which was why we demigods don’t seek out sea hearts, and furthermore, why we aren’t interested in Hanjiang. Actually, the reason is very simple. It’s because there’s no need for something like that.”
“It’s unnecessary?”
Hong Yan nodded, “Yes, it’s completely unnecessary. Only after you reach the demigod realm will you suddenly realize that your strength has reached its peak. Under such circumstances, it’s meaningless to obtain more sea hearts or kill jinxes. We’ve already reached our limit. Such things should be left to others, just like you.”
“We could kill you, or any other Dao heart realm cultivator, before you reach the demigod realm, but there’s no point in doing so. It’s far better for us to allow you all to grow and become demigods. Only when there are more of us will we have a chance of discovering and charting the way forward.”
“I believe you should be able to understand this.”
Yuchi nodded.
Now, he finally understood what the other party meant.
Since the demigod realm was the limit, it would be a futile effort to snatch more sea hearts other than for bragging purposes.
It was better to leave the heart of the ocean to those who really needed it. One more demigod meant one more possibility for everyone.
Under such circumstances, any slight probability might lead to a miracle.
The demigods were lacking such miracles because there were far too few of them. Therefore it was in their best interest to nurture more.
