To earn respect from others, one must first possess strength. Thus, the young and old of Huangjia Village felt they were mere dregs, incapable of confronting the powerful and unreasonable demands. If they were to fight the demon race, they would surely perish without a burial site. Therefore, they dared not harbor any thoughts of resistance, each one terrified.
They looked at Ye Tiancheng with pleading eyes, hoping he would change his mind, wishing he would just leave as far away as possible.
Not a single person in Huangjia Village dared to voice such an opinion, though it was what they all thought. Of course, they dared not speak it aloud to Ye Tiancheng, knowing what such words would imply and that it might completely offend him.
In that case, they would be annihilated. How could they dare to utter the words they most wished to conceal, words that would offend Ye Tiancheng, when facing someone as powerful as him?
Ye Tiancheng, of course, knew what they wanted to say, but he would not easily reveal his stance. To express his position would mean facing an endless dilemma, a self-inflicted trouble.
If he said nothing at all, that would be best. He would let others guess, while he stood aside and enjoyed the cool breeze. This thought was truly terrifying.
What others thought or did had little bearing on him. However, what he wanted to do, or what kind of person he wanted to become, was something he had already set for himself.
If he could set himself on this path, it would be a joyous occasion. If he could not surpass this, he felt he was quite pathetic, and whatever he could achieve in the future would be but a fleeting dream.
"They want you to leave..."
At this moment, Wang Youcai said to Ye Tiancheng. Upon hearing Wang Youcai's words, Ye Tiancheng shook his head, neither confirming nor denying, leaving an ambiguous impression. At this point, the village administrator stepped forward to speak.
Although he was terrified that Ye Tiancheng might kick him away with a single blow, for the sake of all the villagers, he had to brace himself and speak. After all, he was the village chief, and all issues were his responsibility as the village administrator. Thus, he could only steel himself and speak.
"I say, Sir Ye, if you stay here, we will face endless troubles. On behalf of all the villagers, I beg you, show mercy and leave this place, allowing us to find peace."
With an almost pleading expression of poverty, the village administrator faced Ye Tiancheng, who resolutely shook his head. He could not back down from his position in such a situation. To express his absolute will,
He appeared resolute and determined, for in the face of profit, he could not appear indifferent. This was also for his own benefit, so he displayed an overbearing aura, leaving others no choice but to completely accept his indignant intent.
"That is absolutely impossible. I will never leave this place. The reason I exist here is entirely for my own benefit. Since it is for my benefit, then your interests must naturally be sacrificed. You will agree whether you want to or not. My word is final, and you can never refute it."
Ye Tiancheng's resolute declaration was entirely because he could not communicate with the other party nor express his thoughts clearly and understandably, so he chose to be so arbitrary.
Therefore, everyone was deeply concerned that if this situation continued, it would be detrimental to their development. The reason they so firmly rejected Ye Tiancheng's request was entirely due to their own interests. For their own interests, they were naturally willing to sacrifice Wang Kefan's interests, regardless of whether he was a good person or a bad person. Their primary consideration was their own benefit, so these people were furious at Ye Tiancheng's response and hated his expression.
Despite Ye Tiancheng's repeated promises of significant economic benefits, these were nothing compared to the alternative. Thus, everyone refused.
Ye Tiancheng now needed to properly deal with the demon race. In his opinion, to defeat his opponents, he must first improve his abilities. The so-called cultivation power was to absorb the energy of heaven and earth and then use it for oneself.
"Now you should understand that very few people can achieve this. If you want to surpass yourself, you must pay a great price to achieve it!" At this moment, a voice sounded in Ye Tiancheng's ear. This person was the Divine Stone and the Great Green Snake.
"Does that mean you two also want to cultivate and level up?"
"Yes, we both must level up, otherwise, we will be finished."
The Divine Stone and the Great Green Snake replied in unison.
Hearing this, Ye Tiancheng's spirits immediately lifted. He immediately said, "What does that mean?"
"It means everything." The two fellows were actually mocking Ye Tiancheng.
"It means nothing, do you understand?"
The two fellows actually considered their own thoughts as the only correct thing. How could this not cause Ye Tiancheng's heart to feel a sense of oppression? In reality, saying so much was useless.
After all, many things had already formed a fixed pattern, so further discussion would not salvage the villagers' resentment. The only correct course of action was to make them accept the feeling of helplessness.
The Divine Stone did not expect Ye Tiancheng to agree to such a thing, which truly surprised them. Thus, they were eager to ask the question they had long wanted to ask – if a war were to break out between them one day, how should they firmly establish their stance.
Ye Tiancheng did not want to dwell on this issue, because in his heart, such a thing was unforgivable and would not happen. If it truly happened, he would truly go berserk. This issue was not even a problem for him.
Ye Tiancheng's heart was about to collapse. Talking so much with them was utterly useless.
No matter how he discussed the issue, what he could hold onto was only so much. Therefore, he could not blame others for all the problems; it was utterly unreasonable.
In Ye Tiancheng's view, this was their fault. The days when whatever they said was law were gone forever.
"Then what do you want to do?" The Divine Stone and the Great Green Snake thus wanted to ask this question. Ye Tiancheng, of course, found it difficult to answer them. Unexpectedly, if he were to truly answer their question, it would signify that he might be troubled by an emotion.
This issue had formed infinite pressure in his heart, and it was this infinite pressure that made people feel unparalleled confusion and pressure. Perhaps it was this confusion and pressure that made them feel they had gained something and achieved success.
No matter how this feeling turned out, what they wanted to pursue had indeed appeared before them. It was something that could not be avoided or escaped. Therefore, no matter what, what Ye Tiancheng pursued would definitely be different from others.
What he could finally obtain and express was as simple as that, nothing complicated. If there was anything complicated in this world
that governed his progress, it would certainly be the messy thoughts in his own mind. These messy thoughts would cause him many troubles and more easily lead him to have many strange ideas. If a person has strange ideas, it means that he might in the future
have more troublesome days. Therefore, a person is not only their own enemy but also the enemy of others. More importantly, this mode of operation will not make you feel very happy; instead, it will make you constantly feel danger.
Therefore, Ye Tiancheng wanted to tell them not to do unnecessary things when it was unnecessary. Simplicity was always best, so do not create so many complicated things for everyone. None of these Huangjia Village people could be considered good. They did everything strangely.
His understanding was often very strange, but if you did not understand, you would not find it strange.
Tell others your thoughts.
Because no one cared, it was impossible for you to be alone. So, if you still have to do this, does that mean everyone can exceed your requirements? Not everyone can be meticulous.
Ye Tiancheng was constantly elaborating on his thoughts. The child's intention was very simple, which was to make these people thoroughly understand what you might not understand.
In fact, what you are constantly pursuing is something that will not allow you to feel that your progress is something that might cause you to lose everything. Those who constantly pursue progress will ultimately be defeated by others. Only those who possess powerful strength can achieve the progress they desire.
Whether you are willing or not, all the people you know will ruthlessly crush your thoughts and perceptions at a certain time and cause certain harm.
As time goes by, all of this will change its original appearance. In this original change, everyone has become accustomed to this change, so when they answer this question seriously.
It will always leave a vague impression. No one will think you are correct; on the contrary, they will feel you are a dreg among dregs, a pervert among perverts. When all of this returns to its glorious moment, whether you are willing or not.
You will agree with others' opinions. Perhaps this matter that makes others feel a headache will not happen to you, but one day when it truly happens to you, how will you view this matter?
