Chapter 1627: Chapter 988: Would a god care about stepping on a group of ants?_2

In this case, the Race of Bizarre Clan you’re talking about will likely have big moves.

And these moves will certainly alarm you, Fellow Daoist.

Once you discover, you will surely trace it back and realize the emergence of malevolence.

With your character, you will definitely come to ask me at that time."

Shan Nian spoke eloquently, with a certain self-satisfaction in his words.

Jiang Hui was straightforward, directly reporting what he had just seen and heard to Shan Nian.

The reason why he came was originally to hear Shan Nian’s opinion, no need to beat around the bush.

After listening to Jiang Hui’s account, Shan Nian’s voice changed instantly.

He said: "Great calamity, great calamity!"

Jiang Hui glanced at Shan Nian without a specific appearance and said: "Can you speak properly?"

Shan Nian, after a long pause, solemnly introduced: "If everything you said is true, then it can only mean that malevolence has completely taken the lead, and there’s no possibility for me to recover, this, indeed deserves to be called a great calamity."

Jiang Hui was stupefied for a moment, but then said: "So, you could actually reclaim control over your True Body?"

"Theoretically, there is such a possibility." Shan Nian nodded like a pecking chick.

Jiang Hui waved his hand dismissively.

"What, you don’t believe it?" Shan Nian asked indignantly when he saw this.

"No." Jiang Hui shook his head.

"I just don’t believe it ninety-nine percent."

Obviously, despite being from the same body, Jiang Hui had not had contact with malevolence so far, didn’t know how it was, but judging from its creation of the Bizarre Clan, leading the body, and succeeding as the Red-Haired Monster, it can be seen that its strategies are unfathomable.

But Shan Nian gave him the impression of being quite naive.

How could it look like thoughts from someone who lived for unknown eons, even becoming tired of living to the end?

No wonder they couldn’t defeat malevolence back then, such a lack of scheming, would be strange to win.

"..." Shan Nian originally wanted to retort, but thought there was no use refuting it now.

He had already lost the last opportunity, could no longer regain control of his True Body, in a way, not believing was right, because he couldn’t prove it himself.

Jiang Hui regained his serious demeanor, "So, what’s your opinion, Fellow Daoist?"

Shan Nian took a deep breath: "If malevolence has really fully taken control, then the Bizarre Clan you mentioned will definitely have big moves.

They might use some method to accelerate the erosion and devouring of All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, making it completely nutrient for malevolence, once all heavens become extinct, more terrifying things will happen.

Therefore, we must quickly come up with countermeasures, otherwise the consequences are unthinkable."

Jiang Hui spoke emotionlessly: "What you said is very good, but next time, don’t say such nonsense.

This is something that I have naturally already thought of, otherwise why would I come to ask you?"

"As for the more terrifying thing you mentioned... what is it?"

"I can’t say."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Jiang Hui was surprised.

"Because I cannot perceive what exactly will happen, but if I speak of it, my heart gives a mad warning."

Shan Nian answered truthfully.

"Back then, True Body realized that it might be dominated by malevolence, so chose to burn itself with the Fire of Yuan Spirit on that Highland beyond the Qiankun Universe.

Also sealed its ashes with a Stone Coffin, Stone Jar, trying to eradicate malevolence in this way, but unfortunately... ultimately failed."

Shan Nian sighed uncontrollably.

"Fellow Daoist’s True Body did so to eradicate malevolence, but simultaneously eradicated you, yet I wonder how Fellow Daoist survived?" Jiang Hui asked.

It wasn’t a sudden thought, but a question that had always been on his mind.

"Since malevolence hasn’t perished, neither can we perish." Shan Nian shook his head at these words, saying somewhat ambiguously.

"In my view, Fellow Daoist’s True Body seems not simply trying to annihilate its own malevolence but intending to annihilate all its thoughts to reach a state of complete desirelessness."

After the voice fell, Shan Nian seemed a bit surprised, looking toward Jiang Hui at the first moment.

"How did Fellow Daoist guess? But you’re wrong on one point, it’s not the True Body wanting to eradicate me, or all thoughts, it’s malevolence..."

Under the perplexed gaze of the benevolent thought, Jiang Hui smiled and shook his head, then sat directly on the ground like Big Ma Golden Knife.

"Very simply, I believe that if your true body were to insist on obliterating a thought, it wouldn’t need to pay such a high price, nor would you fail to remove a thought after paying such a price."

"Initially, I only speculated as much, but after stepping into the Sacrificial Path State, I confirmed this idea."

"Throughout the ages, those who reach the end of all things possess indescribable will, forged in flames, as if their own body were immortal, beyond all."

"With it as the guide, thoroughly stripping a thought should not be difficult, why sacrifice oneself?"

"Unless, for your true body, whether it’s benevolent thoughts, evil thoughts, all thoughts and ideas... in the eyes of that transcendent will, they are all wrong, should not have appeared, then everything makes sense."

"The will beyond all represents the ultimate idea of your true body, to utterly annihilate all obsessions, whether good or evil..."

"And, stepping back a thousand paces, for your true body, what is good? What is evil? What is right? What is wrong?"

"Is slaughtering all beings wrong? Is it evil? Is saving all beings good? Is it right?

No, that’s just the view of all beings themselves,

From the perspective of an ant, a palm-sized area is everything.

But from beyond the palm, or even further beyond... would the sole supreme existence think that stepping on an ant, or a group of ants, or even wiping out the entire ant race is wrong, is evil?"

The benevolent thought opened its mouth, seemingly dumbfounded, unable to respond.

It dared not continue thinking down this line.

Because Jiang Hui’s words shattered all of its previous understanding.

From its perspective, gratuitous killing is wrong, self-sacrifice for others is right... but that’s just its own perspective, at most, it is just one of countless obsessions and thoughts of the true body.

At this thought, the form of the benevolent thought seemed visibly disoriented, as if it might dissipate in the next moment.

"Fellow Daoist, why not give me some useful advice?" Jiang Hui interjected at the right moment, interrupting the other’s deep contemplation.

Benefiting from its inherent innocence, the benevolent thought was easily diverted.

When it came to useful advice, the benevolent thought immediately fell silent, mumbling half a day without saying anything helpful.

If it had useful information, why would it be hiding? It would have already taken over the true body.

Helplessly, Jiang Hui could only change his approach.

He asked more about the evil thought, not discussing anything else. At the moment, the red-haired monster formed by the evil thought was the most important.

The benevolent thought could not elaborate on this either, having already revealed everything it knew last time, without squeezing out any useful information.

"Being too benevolent isn’t good either."

Jiang Hui frowned, the only one who might understand the other doesn’t know a thing, now he could only face problems as they come.

He usually likes to plan before action, but under the current special circumstances, he really couldn’t gather any useful information.

Instead of worrying about future problems all day, it’s better to take this time to focus on developing himself.

"Fellow Daoist, when can I get out? I’ve been suffocated in here."

At this moment.

The benevolent thought suddenly asked, pointing behind at the deity, God Age, who was in a dazed crash state.

Residing in the Sea of Consciousness of God Age, it was both forced and voluntary, but whether forced or voluntary, it had already been here for countless years.

It was eager to go out and breathe fresh air.

Hearing this, Jiang Hui looked at the benevolent thought expressionlessly, thinking: "No wonder he’s so benevolent, an idea above the Sacrificial Path could be this naive."

However, thinking it over, perhaps this was not a problem.

He said, "As long as you think that you won’t be sensed by the evil thought after coming out, you can come out anytime."

Upon hearing this, the benevolent thought immediately shook its head frantically,

Honestly speaking, it wasn’t sure if it would be sensed, but even if there was a slightest possibility, it wouldn’t attempt it.

Annihilating itself completely was trivial, but if sensed by the evil thought, Brother Jiang here being targeted would be significant.

Brother Jiang had barely extricated himself from the fatal crisis, if merely because it wanted to go out and breathe, inviting disaster again, it would be truly unforgivable.

The benevolent thought is just that, benevolent.

Though naive, it is truly kind.
