Destiny is ashes
Chapter 820: Responsibilities of the Unborn
Chapter 820: Responsibilities of the Unborn (4200)
“So it’s the Yuan family?”
An Jing did know about Qu Tong’s affairs. That was why An Jing did not get rid of this ‘robbery cultivator’ after he confessed his mistake: “Then it seems I should not hold back, I have to kill that real person.”
In his opinion, Qu Tong did not carry out indiscriminate massacre when faced with such a situation, which showed that he had some moral conscience and was the kind of person who could be saved.
“No, no need…”
Hearing An Jing’s words, Qu Tong looked up in astonishment and looked at An Jing – he couldn’t understand why An Jing could say “kill the real person” so casually… Could it be true? Would someone really go against the Yuan family and kill a real person just for their own experience?
Why should An Jing do this?
“You misunderstood. I didn’t do this because of you. It was just because of the incident itself.”
An Jing noticed Qu Tong’s surprise and naturally knew that he could not understand himself based on the other party’s logic.
This is normal. He has never thought that people in this world can understand his thoughts, because they are disciplined by this world. No matter how much they resist, they will be left with scars, and their thinking will be left with the fixed pattern of wounds.
And he was born to discipline this world.
“But then again.”
An Jing ate a piece of beef and looked out the window thoughtfully: “While we are eating beef, similar things may be happening, right?”
“Let’s put it another way, Qu Tong, if I hadn’t stopped and used all my strength to deal with Fengdu Wei from the beginning, do you know how many people like you would have appeared?”
“I don’t know…” Qu Tong didn’t know how to answer this question, but perhaps because he realized that An Jing was asking seriously, he also cheered up and answered seriously: “I’m afraid… hundreds or thousands of people will die.”
“Correct.”
An Jing kept on using his chopsticks and talking, “If I really showed no mercy and killed these thousands of people, would you hate me?”
“Because I created more of your kind, I am actually someone similar to the Yuan family.”
Qu Tong was stunned, then he lowered his head deeply.
People wouldn’t take this kind of words too seriously. It’s like a fictitious condition that was never serious from the beginning, so naturally no one would think about it from the bottom of their hearts.
But there is a force.
Because it was An Jing, and because he was the one being questioned, a long-standing doubt and a long-standing power made Qu Tong question his own heart.
Will he?
“I won’t……”
He uttered these words slowly, as if he had finally seen something clearly.
Qu Tong suddenly slammed his thigh hard, with such force that the entire room shook violently. He gritted his teeth and said, “I can’t do that!”
“I don’t even care. I just think that you are so powerful that you can defeat the Purple Mansion Master. Who cares if other people die or not?”
“I……”
“my thoughts……”
“It’s just like……”
——Just like when my love, my child died, no one cared, those who didn’t care…
“How could I… be such a person?”
Even though the company had deprived him of the freedom to seek revenge, even though Feng Jia had deprived him of the freedom of his soul, Qu Tong had never felt as scared as he did now.
The chair broke into pieces, he held his head and knelt on the ground, as if he wanted to refuse to think too deeply, just like he wanted to refuse to use a knife to cut open his own thoughts.
This man’s fear was not death or despair, but…
A kind of thing that he could never fight against, so huge, just like the dark sky that hung over everyone’s head forever, and could never be broken off.
Because it doesn’t happen to you, you don’t have to worry about it.
Indifferent.
【magic】
An Jing was eating beef.
Everyone turned around, either in surprise or thoughtfully, to look at him and Qu Tong, but An Jing just calmly watched Qu Tong, who suddenly collapsed, should have collapsed long ago, or was just pretending to be normal.
He likes to eat beef.
He doesn’t like being the only one eating beef.
Perhaps, this is also the way of heaven.
If not, he wouldn’t have the ability to bestow divine will.
“All right.”
Looking at Qu Tong who was in pain and gave him a familiar feeling, An Jing put down his chopsticks: “Being able to see yourself clearly means that you have self-knowledge and are not hopeless.”
“Qu Tong, I didn’t do that.”
He stared at the other person and said calmly: “Because I am not that kind of beast, even if I have the power.”
“Qu Tong, you are still very weak now, so it doesn’t matter if you are a beast. But from now on, as long as you continue to follow me, you will become strong. By then, if the beast in your heart has not been eliminated.”
Having said that, An Jing raised his sword finger and pointed at Qu Tong, who was not sure whether he was confused or in pain. “You will become the kind you hate, a new beast.”
“At that time, even if you have invincible power and can destroy everything in this world, it is nothing more than a ball of destructive fire, giving birth to nothing but new destruction.”
“And I will kill you too.”
Zhang Xian, Xu Yue and Teacher Guang did not understand what An Jing was saying.
Iron Hand, Rusty Feather and Steel Skeleton seemed to be thinking about something. They sensed something, but it was like seeing flowers in the fog, not real.
Huo Qing and Nian Quan seemed to have just woken up from a dream. They looked at Qu Tong in shock, and then looked at each other.
——It seems that I have become a little slack.
——It seems that I have indeed forgotten.
It’s not that you are lazy and forget to practice, but that you become lazy in your state of mind and forget to be angry.
Because their lives had been going so smoothly recently, their strength had improved so quickly, and the people around them had been so nice to them, that both of them had actually forgotten a little about their anger towards the world that had hurt them.
It’s also a little…slow. This is not surprising.
Ever since An Jing became a warrior, even though he was not a master but just an ordinary internal strength martial artist, he seldom encountered anything truly ugly or anything that could really make him angry again, not to mention that he now had the power of the gods and was halfway into the realm of true man.
Perhaps there was. But those things were very grand and majestic, so much so that even the ugliness of the Taiming Sect annihilating all living beings gave people a magnificent shock.
If you become strong enough, you will stay away from the most common ugliness in this world, just like a person who is tall and strong enough can step on the mud under his feet and see the bright sky when he looks up. But for ordinary people, the mud is an endless swamp, and looking around, there is only countless ugliness, hatred and despair.
All living beings are like crabs in a barrel. They all want to be the boss and step on other people’s heads to escape from the endless sea of suffering. As long as they climb up to one level, they can get a breather, temporary peace and tranquility, and they think this is a kind of happiness.
But there will be no relief from such an outcome. The demon watched all this with satisfaction, because at the end of the human superiority, there is only [degeneration] and [abyss].
That is the purpose of the devil.
Or in other words, the devil appears because of this kind of reincarnation?
An Jing didn’t mean to talk about serious topics when everyone was celebrating and disturb people’s interest. He just noticed the potential in Qu Tong, so he gave him some advice and reminded his friends and partners at the same time.
“I’m here to change the world.”
He said, “The Yuan family, all the noble families, those who disregard human life, disregard the law, make mistakes without being punished, and think they can escape judgment, will all be my targets.”
“Due to our lack of power, we may have to destroy it from within, but I hope you will not forget your original intention.”
“I understand.” “I’ll remember it.” Huo Qing and Nian Quan nodded. They both knew that An Jing was talking to them.
Tie Shou and others also vaguely understood the purpose of An Jing’s words.
——Is this what the forces behind An Jing are thinking?
They thought that this might be a communication with the “Guiyi Army” behind them. An organization with its own program and goals is much easier to communicate with than a powerful force with unknown goals. The reason why the Guiyi Army had been hesitant and did not communicate with An Jing was because of this. They were not sure about the position of the forces behind “An Xuan” and naturally did not want to expose more.
Teacher Guang was different from the two young students. She also understood An Jing’s words very well. She didn’t know where to put the chopsticks holding the crab stick. She forced a smile and said, “Well, I didn’t hear that…”
“I hope Mr. Guang can help pass it on. It would be best if you could help pass it on right now.” An Jing looked at the other person and smiled as he picked up a piece of beef for Mr. Guang: “Keep eating. The beef in this restaurant tastes great and is very fragrant. I’ll come again next time.”
Teacher Guang took a deep breath. She finally understood why she was invited. “I, I understand.”
Soon, when An Jing and others were still having dinner.
On the other side, other people who were concerned about An Jing and others also got the information they wanted to know from channels unexpected to them.
[Did An Xuan say this himself? Did he tell us this on purpose?]
Tianyuan Realm, Taixu Network Road, on a Taixu warship, a handsome black-haired True Lord who looked nothing like the old man raised his eyebrows: [Let me see]
【Well……】
[I don’t know where this Daoting thought came from.]
After reading the report in detail and knowing An Xuan’s words and “goal”, Yuan Chenhai, the ancestor of the Yuan family, relaxed his frown and felt relieved: [The way of righteousness, is it the branch of righteousness? Or is it the branch of law and heavenly punishment? ]
[Naive youngsters, what is right and wrong, how can we not understand? But the world is like this, and the will of thousands of noble families is like this. Can my Yuan family still enforce the law impartially and be the target of public criticism? ]
He didn’t care about An Xuan’s declaration.
Everyone knows that there is a force behind An Xuan, but the most troublesome thing is that no one knows what the purpose of this force is, what its ideology is, or what the other party likes and dislikes.
They can’t even communicate, let alone the subsequent negotiations – to seek common ground while reserving differences, then at least they have to know what the other party’s similarities and differences are.
Therefore, the group forces in the Tianyuan Realm wanted to test out the true thoughts of An Xuan and his forces bit by bit.
Looking at it now, although the process was somewhat unexpected, the result was still good – the force behind An Xuan, which upholds the righteous thoughts of the Daoting era and even still abides by the moral values of immortals and gods of the Daoting era, has been revealed.
“Ancestor, could this be a disguise?”
On the other side, a real person of the Yuan family, Yuan Chenhai’s adjutant, followed his duties and reminded: “Because they don’t know what we think, it is possible to adhere to the righteous way of the Dao Court as much as possible to avoid discrimination and suppression.”
[Can we still pretend to be like Tianyuan in our current situation? ]
Yuan Chenhai sneered and threw the report aside: [Rather than thinking about this kind of thing, it is better to let the younger generation of the family get into less trouble. Although the family can protect them from the wind and rain, they are always so low-class and spoiled. It is embarrassing to tell others about it.]
[Although in the eyes of outsiders, our Yuan family is not a good family, but at least I know very well that if I have to choose, I would rather all my children are good people like An Xuan who are a bit stubborn, rather than having only a few good ones like now, and the rest are all rotten.]
“Alas, ancestor…” Because he was the direct descendant of the True Lord, the True Lord had no scruples and said with a smile: “If all the children in the family become talented, where will the resources come from for them? How many resources can be spent on eating, drinking and having fun all day long under the protection of the family? What I am afraid of is that each of them has the ambition to go to the wilderness to open up new areas, which could really drain the family’s foundation.”
[That’s why I said that An Xuan is naive. The forces behind him are also naive. I’m afraid he is not the only one who can pass on his legacy.]
Yuan Chenhai sighed, and then put the matter aside: [Okay, at least we know it is a righteous path, much better than the evil demons that bred after the catastrophe. Next time, let the noble families with better reputations play with An Xuan, and our Yuan family will not accompany him.]
This is the benefit of the righteous path: even a family with a bad reputation that does not follow the righteous path knows that the righteous path is good and would rather deal with it.
But, they felt that An Jing was just talking.
But An Jing is not just talking.
After the party was over, An Jing and everyone else left Xuan Ye City and headed for Beihu Ze District.
On the surface, the reason was that An Jing planned to inspect the progress of the forward base built by Qu Tong, Gang Hai and others in the ancient immortal ruins, whether any new information had been obtained, and to prepare for the four-city competition that was about to begin.
In fact, An Jing was given an idea by Qu Tong’s experience.
“Sure enough, this world has definitely experienced a lot of suffering and disasters, from the experiences of ordinary people to the demonic disasters that once swept the world. The Tianyuan Realm should also have potential.”
On the way, after leaving Xuan Ye City, An Jing began to try to condense the divine power of ‘Sun Wuji’ in the wilderness.
This originated from the destiny [Seven Evil Tribulations], the most core destiny magical power, which can theoretically be condensed successfully. But even if it is condensed successfully, the Tianyuan Realm may not have the “Source of the Great Tribulation” to support it.
However, the moment An Jing began to condense ‘Sun Wuji’, An Jing felt something was wrong.
Because, endless resentment and hatred, endless despair and confusion, began to converge with oneself as the center!
At this moment, with An Jing as the center, an invisible and intangible fire of hatred began to burn slowly.
——Indeed, there is no source of catastrophe in the Tianyuan Realm…but.
Because of his existence, the Tianyuan Realm already has the [Seven Evil Tribulations]!
“Could it be that?!”
Realizing that the divine power in his hand was rapidly condensing, An Jing couldn’t help but have an extremely bold idea in his mind, which even made him feel incredible.
——The Ancestral Dragon Seed that the Tianyuan Realm gave me, half of the destiny of ‘creating something out of nothing’, wanted me to create something other than…
But to create destiny, to create [Tian Yuan’s Seven Evil Tribulations]? !
