Chapter 2374: The Sky Patrol Palace

"Dead... dead? He... he killed the divine envoy!"

"You dare kill a divine envoy! How dare you kill a divine envoy!"

"It's over! You've doomed us all! Our Violet Micro Sect is finished!"

...

When Ye Yuan killed the middle-aged divine envoy, everyone's first reaction was not how strong he was, able to kill a god across realms, but that Ye Yuan had implicated them.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

The might of the gods was ingrained in their bones; these people simply dared not resist.

Ye Yuan, watching from the side, was burning with anxiety, which was why he acted.

He thought the Violet Micro Sect would resist, but in the end, even Mo Qingshan dared not make a move.

Yet he could understand; under such oppression, humanity had no choice but to swallow their pride.

The price of resistance was death.

How could a tiny Violet Micro Sect stand against the divine army?

Even an ant clings to life, let alone a human?

"Oh, then how about you tie me up and send me to the gods?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Mo Qingshan's face changed, and he said with difficulty, "This... how can this be? Little brother, don't joke! But... killing a divine envoy is a great crime!"

He knew Ye Yuan was mocking him.

Ye Yuan shrugged and said, "I'm serious. Won't you send me?"

Mo Qingshan was stunned, but still shook his head. "Little brother acted to save us. Even if I were worse than a beast, I couldn't do such a thing! Little brother, leave quickly! Once the divine officials from the Sky Patrol Palace arrive, you won't be able to escape! A divine official is a powerful Eight-Thread Heavenly Dao late-stage expert; you are no match!"

In the Violet Micro Sect, the strongest was Mo Qingshan, the sect master.

His cultivation was only at the Heavenly Emperor Sixth Heaven, still a step away from the late Heavenly Emperor stage.

If an Eight-Thread Heavenly Dao expert came, they could almost sweep through!

Ye Yuan frowned and said coldly, "Do you think I'm joking? If you don't tie me up, I'll annihilate your Violet Micro Sect today!"

Mo Qingshan's face changed drastically, and he immediately felt immense pressure!

With Ye Yuan's current strength, destroying an insignificant Violet Micro Sect was all too easy.

Just as everyone was at a loss, a young man stepped forward crisply.

"S-senior, could it be that you intend... to destroy the Sky Patrol Palace?" the young man said.

Ye Yuan looked at the young man with some surprise; he remembered that this young man was one of the Violet Micro Sect's geniuses about to be executed.

He had been tied up earlier but was now released.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Interesting. What's your name?"

He hadn't expected that among these timid people, there would be one who could see through his thoughts.

His thoughts were not hard to guess, but for these people, it was difficult.

Because they had never even considered resistance.

The young man said respectfully, "Junior Qin Chao!"

Ye Yuan said, "Mm, you guessed right. I am indeed going to destroy the Sky Patrol Palace!"

Qin Chao said solemnly, "I know the way to the Sky Patrol Palace. Junior will guide you!"

Ye Yuan was slightly surprised and said with a half-smile, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

Qin Chao nodded. "Of course I am! But junior has had enough of this life! If we humans don't resist, we'll forever be treated like pigs and sheep, slaughtered whenever they're unhappy! Besides, senior just saved the one junior loves. Junior is willing to repay with death!"

Ye Yuan's gaze turned toward Mo Xiaocao, and he saw that she too looked surprised.

Clearly, this was just Qin Chao's unrequited love.

In the Violet Micro Sect, there were no less than a thousand who admired Mo Xiaocao.

Qin Chao was just one of them.

Yet the conversation between these two left everyone stunned.

The Sky Patrol Palace represented the gods!

To touch the Sky Patrol Palace was like pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth!

At that point, the high-ranking gods would surely be shaken.

Not to mention, Ye Yuan was merely at the Heavenly Emperor Fifth Heaven; even if he killed a divine envoy, what right did he have to destroy the Sky Patrol Palace?

Of course, humanity had been oppressed for so long that some would overestimate themselves and provoke the gods.

Their ultimate fate went without saying.

This young man was surely another such case.

He was seeking death, and Qin Chao was going with him!

"Qin Chao, what nonsense are you up to?" Mo Qingshan thundered.

He dared not vent his anger at Ye Yuan, but that didn't mean he dared not vent it at Qin Chao.

Qin Chao gave a bitter smile and said, "Master, look back—that's your daughter! The gods wanted to defile your daughter, and you let them take her away! And all of you! How many of you admire Junior Sister Xiaocao? Yet did any of you step forward?"

"Senior saved us, saved your beloved Junior Sister Xiaocao, but not one of you thanked him; instead, you blame him for meddling and implicating our Violet Micro Sect! We are human! Upright humans, not pigs or dogs! Not fish on a chopping block! The gods treat us like pigs and dogs, but must we treat ourselves the same? I have already died once; what harm is there in dying again with senior?"

Qin Chao's words rang out with force.

Many disciples of the Violet Micro Sect lowered their heads in shame.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan showed an expression of approval.

It was precisely because there were many iron-blooded men like Qin Chao in this era that humanity had a future!

The Violet Micro Sect was just a microcosm of the times.

Under heaven, there were countless Violet Micro Sects.

Even if each sect produced only one Qin Chao, that would be an extremely powerful force.

"Senior, I'll take you there!" Qin Chao turned to Ye Yuan and said.

Ye Yuan smiled and nodded. "Let's go."

The tens of thousands of people in the Violet Micro Sect watched the two leave.

In the crowd, Mo Xiaocao's eyes sparkled, as if seeing Senior Brother Qin Chao for the first time.

...

Along the way, Ye Yuan was lost in thought, while Qin Chao's emotions began to change.

At first, he had the tragic air of a hero setting out on a perilous journey, never to return.

But as they drew closer to the Sky Patrol Palace, his breathing grew more rapid.

Clearly, he was starting to feel nervous and afraid.

The might of the gods was deeply etched into every human heart, impossible to erase.

Qin Chao had been driven by a surge of bloodlust, throwing caution to the wind.

But now that they were truly approaching the Sky Patrol Palace, he began to feel uneasy.

Ye Yuan did not notice his change; instead, he was deep in thought.

"I have fallen into a chaotic time-space. Is this world real or fake?"

"If it's fake, how do I return to my own world?"

"If it's real, will my actions here change the course of history, steering humanity in a different direction?"

"If history really changes, then... will I still exist?"

...

Countless doubts swirled in his mind.

He had traveled through time and space, merely a tiny butterfly.

Would this tiny butterfly cause all future experiences to change?

This was indeed a profound question.
