Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

Chapter 2702 - 2705: Discussion with Gu Xiа Mo

Two people were wаlking into the room.

There was no knock, no warning whatsoever.

But the people who were within the room didn't seem to be surprised by his arrival. They have martial arts and they were not deaf. The faint sound made by his wheelchair could be heard clearly.

Long Qian Xing raised his head and looked at Gu Xia Mo. Seeing the man's complexion, he frowned slightly. "It seems that your condition is worse than expected."

From Song Yun Xiang's letter, he knew that Gu Xia Mo was helping the military through providing them with weapons and many other things. From this alone, he knew that Gu Xia Mo was very busy.

The man who used to run away with his people and avoided the kingdoms and the conflicts between the kingdoms were now staying with the military. Of course, the main reason was because he knew that he would not last long.

In the last days of his life, he wanted to do something.

Be it because of the <world consciousness> or because of his own thoughts, Gu XIa Mo chose to stay here.

And it was also because of his decision that Yan Jin Nian stayed to accompany him.

"I can't say that I'm in the best condition," Gu Xia Mo admitted without worry. He smiled faintly and said, "But isn't this already good. As long as the war is over, I don't think my presence is necessary."

The words were cold and the meaning was very clear.

But even if they knew that they would face such inevitable end, hearing such cold hearted words from Gu Xia Mo still made it hard to accept.

Who would want to accept death if they could live?

But they knew.

That it was impossible.

Long Qian Xing's eyes moved towards Gu Xia Mo's legs and then he said, "I think the <world consciousness> is still kind enough to you."

Kind?

Gu Xia Mo was noncommittal and shrugged. "Let's talk about other things. For example… you're talking bad about me just now."

"It's just your unique invention." Song Yun Xiang chuckled. "But I guess that you can't make much with the current condition."

"If you give me 10 years, I have confidence to turn the entire world upside down," Gu Xia Mo said slowly. "Besides, this is the second time I'm trying to replicate some inventions and let them appear in this world."

The second time.

Even though he didn't say it clearly, Long Qian Xing and Song Yun Xiang could guess that he had done it before during the years when they have no contact with each other. While Song Yun Xiang didn't know much about it, Long Qian Xing was very clear of the tribe people whom Song Yun Xiang lead back then.

He remembered seeing some iron equipment that they brought.

It was estimated that Gu Xia Mo was the one who made them and let his people use it during their escape.

But Long Qian Xing is not worried.

Because he knew that these people would stay far away from Fei Yang Kingdom for centuries to come. The road has been blocked and with them staying far away from this place, they would not have contact with each other.

Even if they have some relatively advance equipment, it was not that far ahead and Gu Xia Mo was restrained when making them.

Because Gu Xia Mo didn't want to trigger another war.

With so many things that could destroy the balance of the world, a war will be triggered and this was something that Gu Xia Mo didn't want to happen. He knew very well from the very beginning that one of the kingdoms will win.

But which one?

If he had sided with one of them, the history might change.

History is written by the winner.

It should not be a problem for him to side with any of the kingdoms and try to rewrite the supposed fate.

The problem is…

He didn't want to.

Gu Xia Mo didn't have any close relationship with many people in his kingdom. And seeing how he treated the people below him back then, his intention to help the other party diminished.

He's only one person.

Even if he could possibly lead the people around him, his influence is limited.

For a person who had too much things but had no power to protect it, what awaited him would be nothing more than death.

So rather than challenging the world, he would rather follow the flow of the world and made some changes for his own sake.

In this way, he would not be destroyed by the tide of time.

Which one is the best kingdom?

Gu Xia Mo didn't know as every kingdom had their own advantage. But he knew very well that only the emperor who had been prepared enough for a war would be able to clinch the final victory.

And this didn't belong to Wei Da Kingdom.

He didn't know the ending in the beginning.

Now that he had seen it, he knew that the ending should have been guessed in advance. Because Fei Yang Kingdom is the only kingdom that had been preparing and building power for decades.

Even if other kingdoms have their own preparation, but it was not enough compare to Fei Yang Kingdom.

Talents from all walks of life gathered in Fei Yang Kingdom.

It was as if they knew that this would be the final winner.

Of course, he knew that it was impossible. Because the reason why they gather was because of the law that Fei Yang Kingdom had made decades ago during Emperor Yang Zhou's grandfather's era.

(A/N: Gu Xia Mo came from Wei Da Kingdom and this has been mentioned before. However, Gu Xia Mo didn't stay in Wei Da Kingdom for long. During the chaos of war, he left with his people, thus he never met with Long Qian Xing and the others who were part of the army attacking Wei Da Kingdom)
