On the altar, He Zhiguo and the high priest of the Suiren tribe looked at each other.
The high priest kept smiling at first, but after seeing He Zhiguo's serious and even a little cold face, he gradually reacted and became angry.
"What's the matter, Minister He, do you have any ideas?" The high priest's words sounded very strange, and there was even a hint of anger rising in his voice.
He Zhiguo looked at the high priest quietly, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face. However, this smile was a smile of official business.
"High priest, you are devoting yourself to the human race, and we are also devoting ourselves to the human race. In the past, you made the human race successful. But the future development of the human race will be carried by the Shang Dynasty. If the Suiren clan is willing to join the Shang Dynasty, become a citizen of the Shang Dynasty, and accept the rule of the Shang Dynasty, then the Shang Dynasty will definitely protect the Suiren clan and pass it down through the ages. If the Suiren clan is unwilling, then we in the Shang Dynasty can provide certain assistance. But we can only do what we can. After all, Suiren only represents the past of the human race. The past is worth cherishing, but not worth paying too much for. The Shang Dynasty represents the future of the human race. In comparison, the past is over after all, and the future is more important. High priest, I know you feel uncomfortable listening to these words, but this is the fact."
The high priest's anger solidified on his face, and finally gradually turned into decadence. He Zhiguo's words were ruthless, but they were also realistic. Suiren's fire may be the fire of the human race, representing the glory of the human race in the past. However, Suiren's fire is not so important now.
Perhaps the Fire of Suiren is still related to human beings in some way, but the Fire of Suiren has not appeared for millions of years, and human beings are still living well. All this is enough to show that the Fire of Suiren is no longer a necessity for human beings today.
"It will even consume the luck of the human race and hinder its development. The current situation of the Suiren tribe is the best example!" He Zhiguo's words shattered the last expression on the high priest's face.
At this moment, there was no trace of decadence on the high priest's face. What was left was exhaustion, endless exhaustion, the exhaustion of having all hopes shattered.
When we don’t see hope, we will say - there is hope only if we persist.
But when you see hope, experience glory, and finally say goodbye to hope, I am afraid no one can withstand such a blow.
The high priest was the same. After countless years of persistence, he finally saw hope ten years ago; now, hope is right in front of him. However, He Zhiguo's words ruthlessly revealed a cruel reality.
The present human race no longer needs the Suiren clan; the Suiren clan should remain in the human race’s past and become a glorious symbol in history, rather than a broken remnant in reality.
The high priest was silent for a long time, and his silence made the people of the Shang Dynasty and the Suiren tribe below the altar feel dull and depressed.
After a while, the high priest suddenly looked up at He Zhiguo, with a hint of ferocity flashing across his face: "We have paid so much for the human race, and this is the answer you give us?"
He Zhiguo said solemnly: "Heaven and earth have their own principles, and the country also has its own laws. The Shang Dynasty is a country ruled by law. We can rescue the Suiren clan, even at any cost, really. But the premise is that you need to give us an excuse to save them."
