"Of course, I also know that Lin Xiao, you acted decisively just now. Judging by your expression, it seems you regret killing someone with your heavy hand earlier." Qi Tian continued, "There was no need. If it weren't for me, their lives would have ended half a year ago."
"And you, you merely brought their lives to their deserved end."
Lin Xiao frowned, disliking the way this person spoke.
"The data I need has been obtained, and their mission is also complete."
Qi Tian seemed to be consoling Lin Xiao, "So, Lin Xiao, you don't need to blame yourself for this."
As he spoke, Qi Tian walked towards Lin Xiao, reaching out to pat his shoulder.
However, as his hand approached, Lin Xiao blocked it away.
"Do you always think about problems in this way?" Lin Xiao's tone turned slightly colder, "You consider yourself a savior to these people, and you also see yourself as someone who can toy with their lives at will. Do you think that because you possess the technology to modify humans, you've become half a god?"
"No, no, no."
Qi Tian shook his head, grinned, and looked at Lin Xiao, "Not half a god."
"To these ordinary people, I am a god, am I not?"
"I can save them, and naturally, they can dedicate their insignificant lives for their god. This is for the advancement of science, and this is for exploring the unknowns that lie before us."
"They will become great pioneers, leaving a glorious chapter in the history of Qi Sect."
As Qi Tian spoke these words, his eyes became incredibly fanatical.
However, the waiter's uniform he wore looked a bit too conspicuous.
"The so-called glorious chapter is probably you casually writing 'according to experimental subjects' or something similar, isn't it?" Lin Xiao scoffed, "Are the successors of 'Bai Lian Shen Ji' all so selfish?"
"No, this is not selfishness." Qi Tian looked at Lin Xiao with some disappointment, "I didn't expect your vision to be so limited. You've disappointed me greatly."
"Because I'm not selfish enough?"
"No... because you are unwilling to pay the price for humanity's evolution. You are clearly a person of power, standing above countless others, a person of high status in the mundane world, yet you harbor a indifferent utopia in this severance."
Qi Tian's disappointment was undisguised in his tone, "I originally thought that a prodigy like you, who absorbed true qi from countless people, who resorted to any means to survive, who entered the Heavenly Ranking in five years, would have a sufficiently long-term vision. Alas..."
Saying this, Qi Tian turned as if his heart was broken and left.
He once again covered a distance of a hundred meters in a single step.
However, this time, Lin Xiao also chased after him.
He moved almost identically, advancing nearly a hundred meters with a single stride.
Zhuge Lan and Ye Chen, who had been restrained, also regained their freedom.
Zhuge Lan immediately followed.
Ye Chen gritted his teeth and quickly followed as well.
What kind of madman was that person?
To utter such words?
But Ye Chen also understood that what Qi Tian said was not wrong. To progress faster, one had to make decisions. However... this was not something he needed to worry about, nor was it something that should be said out in the open.
It was normal for Brother Xiao to be displeased; their philosophies differed.
