“To lead the world? I'm already the most powerful person in this world, so why do I care about leading the world?” Chu Yuan gave a wry smile and said in a tone full of contempt.
“This tiny earth and you people are nothing in my eyes,” Chu Yuan arrogantly declared.
He had placed himself in a league beyond mere humans, and even the Earth was considered small and uninteresting to him.
If such words came out of another person's mouth, that person would be seen as a madman who was talking nonsense.
However, it did not sound wrong coming from Chu Yuan. After all, he had earned the right to be arrogant.
Ye Qingtian believed him when he said that, and Chu Yuan's words aroused his curiosity.
Chu Sect had devoted a lot of efforts and resources through the years to dominate the world. If Chu Yuan's aim was not to lead the world, Ye Qingtian could not help but wonder what his motive was.
“Can you tell me what is your motive? I'm about to die anyway, so the least you can do is to let me die without the regret of not knowing why,” Ye Qingtian probed.
“Sure. No harm in telling you this. For the past centuries, all the heads of Chu Sect wanted to unite the martial arts worlds under us. We're not after riches or power. Our aim is to achieve sainthood!” Chu Yuan shared.
What?
Chu Yuan's reply shocked Ye Qingtian.
King of Fighters, Sword Saint, and all the Chinese martial artists stared with their eyes wide open, astonished to hear such a reply as well.
Sai—sainthood? Do saints really exist? Can laymen like us really attain sainthood?
Ye Qingtian's eyes narrowed as he pondered on the many questions in his mind. His emotions were in overdrive, stunned by Chu Yuan's revelation.
What Chu Yuan had said was beyond reality, and beyond anyone's imagination. Saints belonged to myths, and it was a concept most people found
difficult to comprehend and accept.
Yet, the head of Chu Sect openly and affirmatively revealed that was his ultimate aim, making everyone wonder if saints really do exist.
“Ignorant fools like you have tunnel vision. All you see is the tiny world around you. You fail to see the true essence of things. Just like the frog in the well knows nothing of the sea, you commoners have no clue of the existence of saints and the magical sainthood.” Chu Yuan belittled his doubters.
“Ye Qingtian, I have some respect for you, so I shall share a secret with you before you die. Our forefather, Chu Yunyang, was a man that had attained sainthood!
“You doubt the existence of saints, but our ancestor Mr. Yunyang had reached that realm long ago. His title is Saint Yunyang. The Chu family can dominate the world for so many years because we have holy blood in us!” Chu Yuan proudly declared.
Many people were dumbfounded by his declaration. They were utterly confused and flabbergasted.
So the Chinese mythical stories about saints are real!
“No!” “That's impossible!”
“There is no ghosts nor saints in this world!”
“This is superstition and a primitive belief.”
“You are trying to confuse us!”
“Stop this nonsensical talk, Chu Yuan. I, Mo Gucheng —King of Fighters, don't believe in such superstition!” Mo Gucheng suddenly raised his voice and chided, rejecting the notion of saints and sainthood.
He could not accept such ideas and found them beyond belief.
However, Chu Yuan could not care less. Regardless of what others said, just like Mo Gucheng, he held firm to his belief.
No one could change his mind or salvage the situation.
War God Castle was destined to be eradicated, and all the Chinese martial artists were heading for death. Chu Sect would confidently run over the whole world.
Sai—saint Yunyang? So there is really sainthood? A realm beyond us humans do exist?
Ye Qingtian was dazed by Chu Yuan's revelation and lost in deep thoughts.
For a long time, he had always thought the pinnacle of power and skills in the martial arts world was to achieve the status of supreme grandmaster, to be ranked number one in the Sky Ranking.
However, the appearance of god realm masters made him realize there was another level beyond what he knew—the god realm.
Suddenly, it was revealed to him that beyond the god realm, there was sainthood!
At that moment, it struck him that knowledge and skills knew no boundaries. One could always strive for a breakthrough and reach greater heights.
