Chapter 73 Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is.
"Waaaaah—Xihe, I'm so sorry—"
"I destroyed the Creation Continent with my own hands, and I slaughtered the beings you created. I'm so sorry—"
Although it was humiliating to be defeated by Qin Wuyou in one move, it also allowed Austin Griffin to briefly regain his senses.
He recalled the chaos of the Creation Continent, and how, after going mad, he not only destroyed the nearly destroyed Creation Continent, but also killed many of the creatures created by Xihe.
"Stop talking, Griffin, it's all in the past."
"You didn't do it on purpose. It was the malevolent energy that corrupted your mind. It's not your fault."
Seeing Austin Griffin like this, Xihe felt a sudden pang of sadness, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
She fought back tears, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly.
"No—Xihe—it's my fault—"
"It was my arrogance that caused chaos in the Creation Continent."
"I was too arrogant, thinking that I could suppress those invading enemies from the Chaos Sea with my own strength."
"All of this stemmed from my arrogance, which ultimately led to this catastrophe—"
"If it weren't for me, how could the Creation Continent have been completely annihilated, and how could the beings you created have been slaughtered by me—"
Osjan Griffin struggled to raise his head, and two streams of hot, bloody tears finally flowed from his turbid, scarlet eyes.
He looked at Xihe's face, which was filled with worry, and a sob came from his throat, each word sounding as if it were being vomited from the depths of his heart.
"Griffin, it's okay."
"Those things are in the past!"
"Now I'm just glad you're alright!"
"The primordial continent has shattered; at worst, we can simply create a completely new continent—"
"If those creatures are gone, I can create countless more life forms, allowing them to thrive and multiply on new continents—"
Xihe, fighting back tears, went to Austin Griffin's side.
She raised her hand to wipe away Austin Griffin's blood and tears, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly.
"Sigh~"
"Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival; arrogance is."
Qin Wuyou stood to the side with his hands behind his back, watching the scene indifferently without saying a word.
He could sense the regret and pain surging within Austin Griffin.
Those negative emotions almost broke through the barrier of the Law Spear, entangled with the remaining malevolent energy.
Fortunately, these are minor issues, and he can manage to keep them under control.
Beyond the celestial canopy, the living beings of Douluo Star were eerily quiet.
The previous complaints and mockery have long since vanished.
As they watched Austin Griffin's tearful and heartbroken appearance, and listened to his poignant confession, a sense of melancholy arose in their hearts.
It turns out that this god who guarded the continent of creation, who ultimately fell into madness and suffered divine retribution, lived such a painful life.
For a moment, all living beings on Douluo Star were silent, and no one uttered a sound for a long time.
"Arrogance—it really can destroy everything."
"Lord Austin Griffin, once the god of divine retribution who guarded the creation of the universe, was so powerful, but in the end he fell because of his own arrogance."
An old voice sighed, and a wrinkled face was filled with emotion.
"If it were me, I'd probably be arrogant too, wouldn't I?"
"The ability to stand alone and suppress powerful enemies in the Chaos Sea—that kind of power is enough to make anyone lose their way."
A young man clenched his fist, his tone tinged with empathy.
"But Lord Austin Griffin is quite pitiful too—"
"When it regains consciousness, it will have to face the home and all the hard work it had painstakingly destroyed with its own hands —"
"This is a million times more painful than killing Lord Austin Griffin!"
The sentimental women's eyes reddened, and their voices choked with emotion.
"You tell me—if Lord Austin Griffin hadn't acted so recklessly, if he had been willing to awaken Lady Xihe, wouldn't the Creation Continent have been spared from destruction?"
Someone couldn't help but speculate, and as soon as they finished speaking, they were glared at fiercely by the person next to them.
"Hey, you talk too much nonsense—there are no 'what ifs' in this world. There's no going back—"
"Lord Qin's words are absolutely right! Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles; arrogance is! I must remember this principle from now on!"
The murmurs gradually subsided, replaced by a chorus of suppressed sighs.
All living beings looked at Austin Griffin's blood-stained face in the sky, and at Xihe's gentle figure wiping away tears, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
Some people silently bowed their heads, mourning the lost continent of creation and the lives lost.
Some people clenched their fists, silently warning themselves not to repeat the same mistakes.
Others gazed at Qin Wuyou's figure with eyes filled with awe.
It is awe of the strong, and even more so, awe of that clarity and indifference.
The entire Douluo Star was shrouded in a heavy mood.
Tian Dou City, Qin Mansion.
"Tsk tsk tsk, this sky really doesn't hold back at all—"
Qin Wuyou looked at the information revealed in the sky and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Is it really okay to expose Austin Griffin's disheveled appearance in front of so many beings on Douluo Star?
Aren't you afraid that if Austin Griffin finds out about this, he'll send a divine thunderbolt directly to Douluo Star?
Don't be fooled by Austin Griffin's docile demeanor in front of Xihe.
You should know that guy was a real killing machine.
Before the Creation Continent was shattered, which living being would dare to speak ill of this god of death?
"I wonder how Austin Griffin would react if he found out about this —"
Qin Wuyou stroked his chin, lost in thought.
When he was with that young couple, Austin Griffin was always taciturn and resentful.
If he knew that his pathetic and repentant appearance was being watched by billions of beings on Douluo Star, he would probably explode on the spot and send heavenly lightning bolts flying everywhere.
"Hehe, this is interesting—"
Qin Wuyou seemed to have thought of something, and a mischievous smile flashed in his eyes.
With a light tap of his fingertip in the air, Austin's face on the sky was magnified, making the blood, tears, and regret on his face even clearer.
Qin Wuyou didn't hesitate to take a screenshot and save it.
"Austin Griffin, when you and Xihe arrive on Douluo Star and see this embarrassing history, I hope you won't be furious—"
Upon hearing this, Qin Wuyou couldn't help but let a faint, mischievous smile creep onto his lips.
Even if Austin Griffin is angered and embarrassed by this dark history, it's okay.
Anyway, with Xihe around, even if Austin Griffin really wanted to do something, it wouldn't matter, because Xihe would stop him.
Of course, the main point is that he, Qin Wuyou, is on Douluo Star.
If he wanted, he could make Austin Griffin experience what it means to be "killed in one move" again anytime.
"Knock knock knock—!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Qin Wuyou used his divine sense to take a look and immediately raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
