CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 50: RESHAPING ORDER, SEIZING CONTROL

"Don’t even think about it!"

The Control Level Transcendent flew into a rage, clutching a stack of All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals in his arms, turned sharply, and took the blow with his back.

Like a fiercely protective little wolfhound!

Bam!

The disparity in power was such that the Control Level Transcendent was forcibly blown dozens of meters away.

Leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

Even though he was spitting blood, he still fiercely protected the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals in his arms and shouted angrily at his attacker, Fei Wuji, "Aren’t you afraid that before I die, I’ll just throw the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals into the Star Domain?"

Indeed, the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals can penetrate the Star Domain directly.

Fei Wuji was further angered by this Lower-Level Transcendent’s threat, "You wouldn’t dare! I’ll make sure there’s no grave for you!"

"Heh." The eyes of the Control Level Transcendent flashed with a certain ruthlessness, "I’d rather be shattered jade than keep whole tiles. Try me, without these All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, life is worse than death!"

This state of madness was limited to their obsession with the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, not a loss of intelligence.

The other Transcendents, noticing this situation, swiftly distanced themselves from each other, remaining on guard.

Even.

Some weaker Transcendents, in a fit of madness, started using the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals on the spot!

What you swallow is truly yours!

The atmosphere.

Suddenly became extraordinarily tense.

Seeing this heading towards what he had envisioned, Su Qi sighed and conjured a Holy Spear in his hand, hurling it out at remarkable speed.

Clang!

The Holy Spear arrived in an instant, embedding itself slanting into the invisible ground.

The long spear shaft vibrated with a buzzing hum, like a line dividing the Chu and Han realms, separating those two Transcendents.

Stopping this disaster was beyond him.

But.

Interfering to prevent it from evolving into the worst possible scenario was something he believed he could do.

Indeed.

Fei Wuji, upon seeing that golden spear, showed deep apprehension, but quickly, relentless greed took over once again.

He turned his head suddenly, with a mix of confusion and anger, and said resentfully, "My Lord! Why are you stopping me!?"

"That Control Level trash doesn’t deserve to have so many All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals!"

Su Qi stared at him coldly, "Then who compares to me as a piece of trash?"

"Everyone’s betting their lives, if you’re scared, you can leave now!"

Fei Wuji gritted his teeth, hearing the threat in Su Qi’s words, and he could only sulk off to the side.

Su Qi glanced around, his voice cool as he set down rules, "Ladies and gentlemen, I’m not too interested in watching over you, your life and death have nothing to do with me!"

"But I will say this."

"Those who kill will in turn be killed!"

Su Qi didn’t concern himself with how much these Transcendents, clouded by desire, could understand, he merely did what he felt was necessary.

"By the way."

"I have a transaction here, one All Heavens Reflecting True Crystal for one use of my protective shield, this shield can’t withstand the mysterious power of the meteors, but it can protect you from one Overlord Level attack!"

He noticed that some Overlord Levels disintegrated instantly when intercepting All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, their mysterious power was utterly unreasonable.

Upon saying this.

The Transcendents present were visibly stirred; a shield that could withstand an Overlord Level attack meant they wouldn’t have to fear sudden betrayal from Overlord Level powerhouses.

They would have the means to go down together!

"I want..."

"I’ll take one too!"

"I’m first, I’ll go first!"

Watching the group of bloodshot-eyed Transcendents scrambling, Su Qi motioned to Yun Jin to collect the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals.

Then he placed his hands to his forehead.

A soft glow emanated from him, enveloping the entire area, and a thin, transparent shield rose around everyone.

Indeed.

Even Overlord-Level Powerhouses were deeply tempted by such a strong shield, including Fei Wuji.

Sometimes having just a bit more can mean the difference between life and death.

Looking at the full collection of All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals, Su Qi smiled in satisfaction, while Little Demon next to him watched with green-eyed envy.

Ugh... I also want to have Support Element abilities.

Su Qi casually pointed at Fei Wuji, saying to Yun Jin, "By the way, give him a discount, but charge him one more."

"???"

"Why do I have to pay one more?" Fei Wuji looked furious, like a scrooge.

"Bad mood, charging a bit more, any problem?"

...

This incident allowed Su Qi to understand the state of these Transcendents, that they were merely ruled by their desires and obsession with the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals.

They were not only indistinguishable from ordinary people, but perhaps even sharper.

In short, these Transcendents could no longer be simply judged as normal or not, having willingly become slaves to the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals.

The meteor shower grew increasingly dense, seemingly bursting in a final blaze, playing its last symphony.

The trio of Su Qi had to dodge left and right to avoid those trails of light.

In stark contrast, those Transcendents bathed in the dense shower of light snatched two or three All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals casually.

Each of them shed tears of excitement, like pilgrims.

Insatiable desires.

Revelry and death danced together, accompanied by the bursting of bloody blooms.

The two females couldn’t help but turn their faces and close their eyes.

Su Qi, however, calmly watched this splendid scene, suddenly recalling the last lecture taught by Principal Pei Jing.

"Class, if in the future you become Transcendents."

"When faced with an event requiring you to save ordinary people, if you find saving them will certainly put you in danger, what will you do?"

A classmate answered, "Of course, I’ll save them against all costs, ordinary people are the foundation of the human world!"

The Principal shook his head with a smile.

"Wrong."

"Let me teach you the last lesson — what is a Transcendent?"

"Transcendents surpass everything, individual power towers over all!"

"Remember, when caught in a dilemma, choosing to preserve a useful self isn’t wrong, after all, Transcendents are the ones who can lead humanity further! A Transcendent alone can hold a city! Transcendents are the ones able to accomplish humanity’s great counterattack!"

After class.

Su Qi approached Principal Pei Jing.

It wasn’t that he didn’t accept the logic, but that the principle spoken by someone who couldn’t step into Destruction Level to save the Ninth District, yet held actions contrary to his words.

It made him feel deeply conflicted.

Principal Pei Jing’s answer was simple.

"That’s why I am destined to be a failure."

That day, the Principal smiled freely.

Only today did Su Qi understand what the Principal meant.

If you aspire to go further, sometimes you have to be cold-hearted, leaving behind shackles.

Otherwise, the intention won’t reach completion.

As the final meteor flew past.

The feast swept by the All Heavens Reflecting True Crystals came to an official close.

Many Transcendents collapsed, gazing at those unending trails of disappearing light, wailing in despair.

At this juncture, out of over a thousand Transcendents who entered the Dimensional Passage, only over a hundred and fifty remained!

Bear in mind, this meteor shower lasted merely a little over ten minutes!

If Su Qi hadn’t intervened with an absolutely invincible posture, when the feast ended and conflicts arose, perhaps less than ten could have walked out!
