Chapter 432: Chapter 432: An Alternative Explanation of the Life Gate “Indeed!” On another leaf, an Array Master said, “Breaking the Abyss Array is a matter concerning the Bridge Realm Bai Races. How can we allow an unknown betrayer to enter and ruin the Bai races’ grand plan? In my opinion, such a madman should be executed on the spot to prevent future troubles!” This person was the least like an Array Master because he was from the Huang Clan, Huang Ye. Even if people from the Huang Clan wore the clothing of an Array Master, they resembled wild beasts of the wilderness, clashing with the flowing robes and immortal demeanor of the Array Path. Huang Ye raised an accusation. His attack was understandable by everyone. After all, his clan had been exterminated, and the fire in his heart was burning fiercely. Anyone related to the Li Clan, in his book, was only to be killed. And Lin Xiaosu happened to be an Array Master from the Li Clan. Thus, Yin Xuan, known for his craftiness, merely refused Lin Xiaosu entry, while he went a step further, proposing to kill Lin Xiaosu. Though this suggestion seemed absurd, his words carried venom. He directly pointed out that Lin Xiaosu’s origin was unknown! Entering the Abyss might disrupt the plans of the various clans. This struck a nerve at the most sensitive point of the various clans. People below started discussing fervently... “Master Huang has a point; currently, so many people and resources have been gathered by various clans, we can’t afford internal sabotage.” “Someone of unknown origin truly shouldn’t enter the inner layer. If any sabotage occurs, the cost would be too great.” “Huang Master is correct, not only should he not enter, since he’s here in the Abyss, we can’t allow him to leave, or else disaster will surely follow.” This was another member of the Huang Clan, stirring up trouble from the outside. On the branch, Er Wutian from the Long Ear Clan spoke up, agreeing with Huang Ye’s proposal. The Dong Clan agreed. The You Clan agreed. For a moment, the idea of executing Lin Xiaosu became mainstream. Li Feiyang’s face turned livid. Yet Lin Xiaosu remained calm. Sometimes, one can see the whole picture from a single detail. Amidst the chaos, facing the Bridge Realm Bai Races, he always needed to understand the basic stances of these clans. The speeches of the Array Masters weren’t spoken lightly. Every word actually represented the basic stance of their respective clans. From this almost one-sided situation, it seemed the Li Clan had become a taboo in the Bridge Realm. Their reputation wasn’t exactly good. In fact, this was understandable. Originally, everyone was struggling and fighting in the Bridge Realm, engaging in blatant and subtle battles beneath the table, and suddenly, you from the Li Clan stood up and flipped the table. Breaking the equilibrium. People became wary of the Li Clan, dissatisfied with the Li Clan for disrupting the status quo and unilaterally changing the game rules. Therefore, there were signs indicating that anything the Li Clan wanted to do wouldn’t turn out well. Suddenly, a leaf at the top shone brightly. A voice came, “The clans have already reached a consensus to select talent according to ability and to plan big endeavors together. What changed now?” The voice was cold but also had its own sense of majesty. Lin Xiaosu raised his gaze, staring at the leaf. On the leaf, a silver-haired woman, elegantly beautiful, truly had the appearance of a celestial being. He was very familiar with her appearance. To this day, she still stood as a statue in Qing Wan. She was Li Qing of the Li Clan. As soon as Li Qing spoke, the voices of the other Array Masters stopped abruptly. Li Qing’s gaze swept across the audience, “This young man is skilled in the Qiankun Breaking Array Hand, precisely the talent we need! Regardless of where he comes from, or which school he belongs to, as long as he can join us in our grand cause, he is an Abyssal Array Master! As for internal sabotage, haha, our mission is to disrupt, and if someone can sabotage from within, I would wish for it!” These words were spoken. The whole scene’s direction completely changed. Indeed, everyone had been led astray by Huang Ye. Neglecting the uniqueness of the current Abyss grand endeavor. This grand endeavor isn’t about constructing an Array defense system. Quite the opposite, it is about destroying the Ancient Array! Constructing an Array defense requires preventing sabotage, but the “Breaking Array” is fundamentally about destruction. Is it necessary to worry about someone with ulterior motives causing sabotage? The focus was entirely wrong! Ye Gui nodded slowly, “Master Li speaks reasonably! No need to argue anymore, young man, you can represent the Li Clan and enter the Array Zone!” Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly, “Brother Feiyang, I am going in!” “Brother, be careful!” Li Feiyang lightly embraced his shoulder, “I will wait for you outside!” “Actually... there’s no need to wait!” Lin Xiaosu said, “I don’t even know how long this will take.” “No matter how long, I will wait!” Ye Gui’s hair gently lifted as an ancient bronze gate opened slowly beneath his black hair, revealing a deep interior. Lin Xiaosu bid farewell to Li Feiyang and stepped into the gateway. Li Feiyang leaped down from the high platform, landing beside his sister... Li Xueyi reached out and held her brother’s hand, communicating with him through the unique vibration method of the Li Clan, “Brother, does it seem that Li Qing still has some familial feelings at the critical moment?” “Yes, perhaps this is what they call the ordinary state of brotherly rivalry, but there’s unity against an external enemy.” Li Feiyang felt quite gratified. Because today he had overturned Li Qing’s impression of him. Li Qing was a traitor to the Li Clan. For the Original System of the Li Clan, she was undoubtedly a traitor. Because she chose the Magic System over the Original System, which imposed a great cost on the Original System, such as the annual distribution of resources and the reputation and prestige in the Bridge Realm. However, this was merely a struggle between the Magic System and the Original System. When faced with an external enemy, the Magic System and the Original System were still one family. When almost everyone pointed their fingers at the Li Clan, only she stood up, assertive, resolute, unwavering, and acknowledged Lin Xiaosu. Her acknowledgment also meant accepting the basic plan of the Li Clan to adopt Lin Xiaosu as the Array Master. This is what they call the ordinary state of brotherly rivalry, but there’s unity against an external enemy. Within the family, there can be arguments until one’s face turns red, but in front of outsiders, they are still one family. A voice suddenly sounded from beside them: “Brother Li! You seem quite optimistic, don’t you? Sorry, but I have a few words that I must say.” Li Feiyang turned his gaze to see a young gentleman. This person was Er Dongsheng, the Saint Heir of the Long Ear Clan. Among the clans, the clan leader’s direct descendants are generally numerous, especially for a race like the Long Ear Clan, which has rabbit-like genes, they reproduce rapidly, often having multiple offspring at once. But regardless of the clan, there is always a Saint Heir. What is a Saint Heir? The one with the highest status among the direct descendants. The Saint Heir of the Li Clan is Li Feiyang’s elder brother, and the Saint Heir of the Long Ear Clan is this Er Dongsheng in front of them. “What does the Saint Heir wish to say?” Li Feiyang asked. “You have high hopes for this Young Master Su, do you? He’s taking the Life Gate!” “The Life Gate? So what?” Li Feiyang wasn’t truly knowledgeable about the Array Path, but he roughly understood that there were “Life Gates” and “Death Gates” in arrays, so taking the “Walking Gate” was just fine, wasn’t it? Er Dongsheng smiled: “The Life Gate in the Array Zone is not the Life Gate of the Array Path. The Life Gate of the Array Zone signifies a path never traveled by predecessors. Indeed, each must carve their own path to the Array Zone. One cannot, without reason, reap the benefits provided by another race. Do you agree?” Li Feiyang’s smile suddenly froze. A person beside him chuckled and said: “The Array Zone, an Ancient Residual Array, is most perilous. Array Patterns are shadowless, killing without form. How many generations of Array Masters were buried on the pioneering journey? Precisely because the forebears planted trees, the later generations can enjoy the shade. However, the Li Clan seems not to have any intention of collaborating with other clans. Other clans presumably wouldn’t want to offer the Li Clan the path they’ve opened. Hence, all of this is just retribution!” This person was from the Yin Clan. As people spoke one after another, Li Feiyang’s expression completely changed. He held his sister’s hand with increasing tightness... They understood, their hearts rose with tension... The Array Zone in front of them was an ancient residual array. Only by breaking through one path in the residual array could they enter the Inner Layer Array Zone. Was it really so easy to break through this path? The Bai Races of the Bridge Realm, generation after generation, expended millions of Array Masters just to explore this one path, allowing them to advance into the Inner Layer Space. Generally, subsequent Array Masters could tread safely along this path opened by predecessors straight to the Inner Layer. This was also the conventional method. However, the starting phase today wasn’t conventional. Lin Xiaosu triggered massive controversy. Besides the Ancestor Hall, represented by Li Qing, who openly supported him, there was scarcely another supporter. Everyone tacitly avoided the path into the Inner Layer Platform. Ye Gui, the old fellow, directly opened a new path. How perilous is an Ancient Residual Array? To open a new path, could it ever be routine? No matter how brilliant Lin Xiaosu is, how could he contend alone against thousands of Array Masters over tens of millennia? The path he embarked on was a dead end from the very start! The word ‘Life’ in the Life Gate... Is not the ‘life’ opposite of ‘death.’ But the ‘raw’ opposite of ‘ripe.’ The other path is well-trodden and familiar. The route he’s taking is completely unfamiliar. Fury surged in Li Feiyang’s heart, while Li Xueyi was engulfed by tumultuous waves. The siblings ascended the high platform together, coming in front of Ye Gui: “Elder Ye, quickly open this door and let our brother out!” Ye Gui said calmly: “The door is shut and cannot be reopened!” Cannot be reopened... Li Xueyi was furious: “There clearly is an old path opened by predecessors that leads safely to the destination. Why insist on creating a new path?” Ye Gui replied: “The path opened by predecessors, with countless efforts, ultimately requires agreement from these clans before allowing others to enjoy the fruits. Why don’t you ask, do these clans agree?” “No agreement!” exclaimed someone nearby. “The efforts made by predecessors have nothing to do with your Li Clan. Today, you still dream of enjoying the fruits? Dream on!” one member of the Huang Clan retorted righteously. “Exactly, doesn’t your Li Clan claim to be capable? Don’t you manage affairs on your own?” added someone from the Long Ear Clan: “Then open a new path yourself!” Li Xueyi roared angrily: “Not opening the door, right? Then I shall open it myself!” As soon as her voice fell, her entire body suddenly burst into flames, transforming into a giant lotus, charging at the stone wall before her. However, as she collided, the stone wall turned into an illusion, causing her to plunge inexplicably into the Abyss below. Ye Gui’s icy voice echoed: “Want to act recklessly in the Netherworld? You mere juniors are far from enough. If you have the guts, let Li Qianqiu come personally and try?”
