Chapter 1722 – Mediocrity
”What exactly do you want to say?” Zuo Qing hoarsely opened his mouth.
The moment the words fell, he himself froze for a moment, and in the middle of this space, he actually heard his own voice clearly.
”I want to say …… that I understand you all, and I also understand you.” [Chaos] leisurely opened his mouth, “The sixth Commander-in-Chief of the Night’s Watch, Zuo Qing, is currently in his fourth year in office …… Oh no, there should still be a few days left before he completes four years, right? From the perspective of the years in office of successive Commander-in-Chiefs, you are still considered young ……
However, you will never be an excellent Commander-in-Chief.”
Hearing the last sentence, Zuo Qing’s brows furrowed.
”Why?”
”Such an obvious question, do you still need me to point it out?” Teasing surfaced in [Chaos]’s eyes.
”The first-generation Commander-in-Chief, Nie Jinshan, personally created the Night Vigil in that darkest of times, and traveled far to Yaochi to seek divine weapons for the earth;
The second generation Commander-in-Chief, Li Clang, tried his hand at developing the ‘Ghost and God Leader’, which symbolizes the glory and dignity of the Night Vigil, and ultimately died on the battlefield;
Third-generation Commander-in-Chief Tang Yusheng, who became the strongest in Xia at only eighteen years of age and challenged the overseas gods with the body of a divine beast, making a name for the Xia Night’s Watch and shocking the four directions;
Fourth generation commander-in-chief Wang Qing, weaving the Night’s Watch cloak, can greatly enhance the defense of ordinary people, adapted to all kinds of extreme environments of combat, although it is not as shocking as the Star Blade and the Ghost God’s Guide, but after that, the death rate of the first-line Night’s Watch fell by 50%, the grassroots of the combat power straight up;
The fifth generation commander-in-chief, Ye Fan, although the qualification is ordinary, but the vision is long-term and venomous, buried the seed of hope on earth, single-handedly promoted the [Mask], [Night Shade], and used himself as a sacrifice, for the earth in exchange for one of the strongest sword immortal Zhou Ping in the past and present ……”
[Chaos]’s words slowly fell, He gazed at Zuo Qing in front of Him, and spoke unhurriedly.
”What about you, Zuo Qing?”
”In terms of vigor, you’re not as good as Nie Jinshan; in terms of talent, you’re not as good as Tang Yusheng; in terms of wisdom, you’re not as good as Ye Fan …… Your forbidden ruins [Green Luan], I remember that the sequence ranking is only 174, right? Among all the Commanders-in-Chief in history, it’s at the bottom of the list.
Such you, really deserve to be the commander-in-chief of the Great Summer Vigil?
With your ability, to be the director of the Special Operations Division is already the limit, if not for Ye Fan in order to save Zhou Ping sacrificed, a moment of the Night’s Watch no one available, just with you Zuo Qing, can also sit on the position of Commander-in-Chief? What’s your basis?
After all these years, haven’t you ever asked yourself this?”
The voice of [Chaos] seemed to contain an inexplicable power, like the whisper of a demon, a little bit of human spirit and will.
Zuo Qing lowered his head and fell into silence, the palm that held the hilt of the sword, trembled slightly.
”The fact that you can rely on a Sequence 174 forbidden ruins and step hard into the human ceiling shows that your perseverance is indeed praiseworthy …… But among the humans, people who are more qualified than you to sit in this position abound.” [Chaos]’s voice got lower and lower, and a strange glow emanated from His eyes.
”Look at the history of the Night’s Watch for over a hundred years! Which Commander-in-Chief wasn’t highly decorated in battle and admired? You, Zuo Qing, mixing in with them …… tsk tsk tsk, is simply discrediting the name ‘Commander-in-Chief’.”
Zuo Qing’s palm holding the hilt of the sword became harder and harder, a vein rippled from the back of his hand!
His chest rose and fell violently.
”You want to provoke me?!” Zuo Qing opened his mouth with a low growl, his eyes red.
”No, no, no, no… …… On the contrary, I’m trying to make you recognize reality.” [Chaos] spread his hands out with a harmless expression, “As the Commander-in-Chief, your performance is too mediocre …… But in my eyes, this is exactly what makes you fascinating.
Letting the mediocre person rebound to become a king! Let the person who is touted as a god fall to the altar! Let the most evil being be honored by the world! Let the holiest of beliefs be reduced to a stench spurned by millions! The Commander-in-Chief of the Night’s Watch, who once guarded millions of people, has turned into an evil god’s lackey that destroys this world! What could be more exciting than this?”
The corners of [Chaos]’s pitch-black mouth grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth as He opened His arms and spoke excitedly:
”The world won’t recognize your ability, but I can, as long as you become my believer, I’ll grant you power that surpasses that of a god …… Don’t you want to vent your heart’s resentment and unwillingness, and personally overthrow the splendor of those successive generations of bullshit commanders, trampling their bones under your feet? ”
[Chaos]’s voice was extremely seductive, as if it could tickle the deepest desires of the human heart, using emotions and playing with their thoughts in the palm of their hands.
Zuo Qing’s breathing gradually smoothed out, and the palm that was gripping the hilt of the knife, slowly loosened ……
Cluster–
That hilt had accompanied him for more than ten years, the most ordinary Night’s Watch standard straight sword, gently fell into the earth under his feet.
Zuo Qing turned his head back and looked at the grayish planet hanging in the deep sky, then withdrew his gaze, bare hands, stepped towards him, those eyes full of complexity.
[Chaos] just stood in place, quietly watching him walk towards him, the smile at the corner of his mouth growing wider and wider.
”Not a bad proposal.” Zuo Qing spoke calmly, “But there is one thing that I don’t quite understand.”
”You say.”
”You are the strongest Three Pillar God that can kill the King of Angels, and I am just a human ceiling …… Now that you are already standing on top of the Moon Seal, why don’t you directly make a move to liberate the Gods of the Ker System, but instead, you have to go through the trouble of recruiting me here?”
[Chaos] raised an eyebrow, “Because it’s my hobby.”
”Then why did you kill me in the first place?”
Hearing this question, [Chaos]’s eyes narrowed slightly.
”It’s contradictory, isn’t it?” Zuo Qing said indifferently, “You’re the strongest Three Pillar God, so it’s naturally not difficult to kill me, a human ceiling……. What you’re afraid of is that I’ll frantically counterattack before I die, and then expose what you’re doing here, isn’t it?
That’s why you wanted to kill me in one blow before I discovered you in the beginning, but unfortunately I dodged it …… and had no choice but to use this tactic to make me submit to you, because once you move your weapon, even if there is only a one in a thousand probability that you will let the gods of the Heavenly Court discover it, it will still make things troublesome.”
[Chaos] gazed at Zuo Qing for a moment and suddenly let out a light laugh.
”It seems that I have underestimated you ……”
Before the words fell, a palm instantly pierced through Zuo Qing’s heart.
Under such a close distance, it was impossible for Zuo Qing to have the slightest possibility of dodging, the blood drenched palm held a beating heart tightly, exposed in the deep air, a wave of darkness surged into Zuo Qing’s body rapidly, completely locking up all of his spiritual power!
Zuo Qing let out a muffled grunt as crimson blood flowed down from the corner of his mouth, his Forbidden Ruins had come to a standstill, unable to function in the slightest.
”Still, my evaluation of you won’t change.” The corners of [Chaos]’s mouth rose slightly, “Knowing my intentions, you still dared to walk head on over …… Do you really think that you can pin me down just because you guessed my concerns?
I didn’t kill you before because the distance was too far for you to notice, if I can still let you escape under such a close distance, then I’ll just kill myself.”
