Chapter 408: 408 Jinxes

408 Jinxes

The guardian’s original purpose was to protect the jinx. Whether it was Yuchi or Gu Yushen, they had all fought many times on behalf of their jinxes.

Moreover, since Gu Changheng and Yue Hanjiang were jinxes ‘designed’ by the Heavenly Dao for them, the two of them would naturally love their jinxes as if they were family.

Under such circumstances, asking Yuchi or Gu Yushen to kill their jinxes was like asking them to kill their own daughter or son.

However, it seemed that the Knights of the Round Table had made up their minds.

When the few jinxes saw this, they did not feel any sadness. At the very least, their lives would end at the hands of the ones they loved, and would be for a good cause.

After all, no matter who it was, there would come a day when they would die. To die for the sake of one’s love, to die for the sake of the world one loved, was this not a fitting ending?

“I think I can do this. If I don’t try, we will never be able to take this step. In any case, any path will always be accompanied by sacrifices. I think everyone knows this.”

The one who spoke was Gu Changheng, who then continued, “Let’s not talk about others, but just us.”

“For the survival of us jinxes, we have already killed many people along the way. As such, when it’s time for us to sacrifice ourselves, why should we hesitate?”

“I believe that everyone’s judgment is correct, and I believe that after killing the moon god race, we can bring true peace to the world and return the Heavenly Dao to its rightful place.”

After Gu Changheng, the other jinxes also spoke.

“I agree with his statement. We are nurtured by the Heavenly Dao, and everything we encounter is arranged for by the Heavenly Dao.”

“We are pushed forward by fate, and we all have our paths set out for us. In this case, this is just another arrangement of fate.”

“Furthermore, if my sacrifice can help my master save the world, I won’t hesitate.”

“Don’t hesitate and just kill us for our Dao hearts to make our shared vision come true.”

“We are just vessels for these Dao hearts.”

There were a total of eight Knights of the Round Table. Of course, it was not just eight people. Including the eight different jinxes, there were a total of 16 people.

Right now, there were still others who were not present and were rushing over. It seemed that the Knights of the Round Table were truly adamant about going to war with the moon god race.

However, with their current level of strength, it was indeed impossible for them to fight the moon god race. In fact, the moon god race could completely destroy the Knights of the Round Table, so the only way to start a war was to kill their own jinxes.

This was the only option at the moment, and it was a rather cruel one.

To the jinxes, this was just them returning to their origins. After all, before meeting their guardians, they had been raised by the dead, and created by the Heavenly Dao.

However, would it really be easy for the guardians to kill their own jinxes?

It definitely would not.

Their jinxes had accompanied them for countless years, and had been inseparable from them ever since they met. Their bonds were closer than even family members.

The silence continued.

No one knew what the final result would be, but the choice was just as Gu Changheng had said. Once one began to hesitate, they would go nowhere.

At this moment, they were certain that the eight Knights of the Round Table would truly start a war with the moon god race.

…

Of course, Yuchi did not know about this matter, as he was busy following Bi Fang’s feather to find the Alchemist Valley. The flaming patterns emitted by the feather helped direct Yuchi to the place, or more specifically the space, where the Alchemist Valley was located. From what Yuchi could tell, he was no longer in the same spacetime zone as the rest of the world.

Yuchi also looked up at the sky as he hurried along. Originally, he could see a row of different moons in the sky, but now they had disappeared. This meant that the moon god race’s power had not spread to this area.

In other words, Yuchi was already in another part of this world.

It was a completely new territory.

Civilization had yet to develop here, and there were monsters killing each other everywhere, each more powerful than the last.

The reason for this situation was very simple.

Yuchi had talked to Cofuran about it before. The Heavenly Dao in this area was too dense. If a toad was thrown into this place, it would live virtually eternally, and in the process, obtain astonishing strength.

Of course, Yuchi had also thought about some things about the Knights of the Round Table.

The world was never one-sided.

One had to always look at things from two different perspectives.

Was the world that the Knights of the Round Table yearned for the only solution?

It was not certain.

Yue Hanjiang suddenly asked, “Master, do you think that the moon god race has committed heinous crimes?”

After Yuchi heard this question, he fell silent for a while.

He did not answer Yue Hanjiang’s question directly, but asked, “My dear disciple, why did you suddenly ask me this question?”
