Chapter 819 - - 577 as powerful as a million soldiers with a single word 2

—————✧✧✧✧—————

He wanted to speak and refute Duge, but he was embarrassingly inarticulate and couldn’t organize the right words.

If the Taixuan Emperor hadn’t caused trouble, with the Puhua Celestial Venerable present to deal with Duge, he wouldn’t have fallen into such a state…

The Taixuan Emperor arrived first, luring away the Puhua Celestial Venerable, and right on his heels, Duge appeared—it appeared he might be in league with Duge!

“All Heavenly Soldiers, quickly kill the Human Emperor, and after returning to the Heavenly Court, I will plead for your merits,” Xianyou True Monarch, running out of options, resorted to his most commonly used motivational tactic.

But against Duge’s strong psychological offenses, ordinary methods simply couldn’t boost morale.

Several Demon Kings weren’t stupid either; perceiving that Duge had shaken the morale of all the Heavenly Soldiers with his own strength, they wouldn’t let Xianyou True Monarch go and struggled desperately to entangle him.

The Longevity Emperor and Queen Bai Da exchanged glances, both seeing the worry in each other’s eyes. There were no shortages of psychological tactics on the battlefield, but they were always aimed at the commanders.

Who would target the morale of the lower rank soldiers directly on the battlefield!

Moreover, no one had done this before!

The words of Duge could be applied not only to the Heavenly Soldiers but also to the lower-ranking disciples of the Demon Clan and Mount Sumeru.

On the battlefield, Duge targeted the Heavenly Soldiers; the Demon Soldiers of the Demon Clan and the disciples of Mount Sumeru might not have time to ponder the implications of Duge’s words.

Once the war ended and they reflected on it, who would still be willing to die for them?

The Incarnation of Heaven was of high enough Realm to regard all beings with impartiality.

But these remarks were absolutely cutting off everyone’s roots!

To the lower rank, wasn’t it necessary to govern them?

The Longevity Emperor’s head swelled with pressure; if he didn’t handle this issue carefully, the newly established Buddhism might also fall apart.

Catastrophe, a real catastrophe indeed!

“Military merits, other than enticing with benefits, it’s coercion. Xianyou True Monarch, do you have any other tactics?” Duge coldly mocked.

He didn’t care so much; his keyword was persuasion, to enlighten as many as he could. Who decreed that one must fight and kill on the battlefield.

Duge spoke with compassion in his eyes, “Heavenly Soldiers, everyone should live for themselves at least once. Do you still remember the initial purpose when you embarked on the path of cultivation? Do you recall the pride in your hearts after transcending the Heavenly Tribulation?

Is your dream really to enter the Heavenly Court and be a mere soldier for life, ultimately to become just bones on a battlefield?

The world is so vast, do you even know what the scenery looks like above?

Don’t you want to go up there and see for yourselves?

The opportunity is right in front of you now!

Why did the Longevity Emperor establish his teachings?

Why did the Taixuan Emperor practice the Blood Law?

Why did Queen Bai Da stand out during the Heavenly Court’s siege on Mount Sumeru?

Aren’t their positions higher than yours?

Aren’t the resources at their disposal richer than yours?

Don’t they know that doing this would make them enemies of the Heavenly Court?

Yet, they still did it, didn’t they?

Why?

Is it because they are foolish?

Is it because they were deluded by my words?

No.

It’s because they are not content, they are unwilling to stay in the same place, living the same life day after day.

If they are not willing, who can persuade them?

You are no different!

The Human Race can stand on its own, and so can you. I have spread the Path to Becoming a Saint in this world.

There are still more than five hundred Evil Demons, burdened with rules, understanding thoroughly the rules within them can lead to sainthood.

Even if there’s only a one in ten thousand chance?

Who dares say the next lucky one couldn’t be you?

Don’t worry about the powerful Heavenly Court; when the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. The Taixuan True Lord practicing the Blood Law, me who incited the independence of the Human Race, the Longevity Emperor who established Buddhism, isn’t each one taller than you?

With us standing in front, no one will trouble you.

If you believe in me, I can offer you a haven, be your umbrella, help you in various ways, even let you comprehend the Daoist Rhyme…”

While saying this.

Duge released all the Daoist Rhyme from his body, layer upon layer, mysterious and awe-inspiring.

All the Heavenly Soldiers on the battlefield were drawn to him.

Except for Xianyou True Monarch, who was still fighting several Demon Kings, almost all attacks on the battlefield, including the Demon Clan’s, had stopped.

“Shut up, shut up, you Evil Demon, you’re clearly deluding the people,” Xianyou True Monarch, frantic and infuriated, said, “Don’t listen to him. The Immortal Emperor has operated the Heavenly Court for a hundred years; it’s not something a mere Evil Demon like him can withstand. Following him leads to certain death.”

“Xianyou True Monarch, words can deceive people, but can Daoist Rhyme deceive people?” Duge laughed, “What benefits did the Immortal Emperor give you that make you defend him so? Is being a dog for the Immortal Emperor so enchanting to you? Is letting others pursue their dreams and advance a step further really that difficult?”

“You…” Xianyou True Monarch, driven to heart attack by anger, turned back to see the Heavenly Soldiers who obviously had distanced themselves from him, felt annoyed but couldn’t utter a single word.

“I won’t interfere with your freedom or your choices. If you believe in me, stand behind me; if you don’t, and would rather seek stability, continue to follow Xianyou True Monarch,” Duge smiled gently, “However, with the chaos already emerged in the Three Realms, seeking stability might not be so easy.”

“Don’t listen to his nonsense. Attack quickly, execute the Evil Demon,” Xianyou True Monarch screamed crazily, his voice was high but so pale and powerless.
