Chapter 1437 654: Return of the Soul! Return of the Soul!_2
"And you, Wang Jixuan of the second life, you actually have a lot in common with me."The Three Realms Wanderer laughed, "The same shamelessness, delight in manipulating the fate of the weak, brazenly seeking to escape rather than face reality... when clearly you can make this world better."
"Because they are unworthy."
Po Luo shook his head, his voice calm and indifferent, yet each word was a stab at the heart:
"I do not look at you as individuals, only at your whole; the overall traits you exhibit are cruelty, bloodlust, unrestrained desire. How are the people of the Immortal Realm essentially different from beasts and insects? Even those from the highest civilization still bully the weak; humans eat humans. Immortals depend entirely on talent: without a Spirit Root and Spiritual Body at birth, there is absolutely no way to become an immortal. Families control resources, and power always manipulates the human heart. If one has power and influence, whether they first satisfy their own desires depends entirely on self-awareness, with no constraints... not to mention the Hundred Races, who determine status and power based on bloodline.
"Six hundred thousand years ago, I became interested in technological civilization and collective ascension because of the Moon God Palace Master and Mu Dan. I found this new path, began to break out of Heavenly Dao's mindset, to think, to reflect.
"Then I suddenly realized why I failed the first time: I used millions of accumulated Spiritual Power, sacrificed so many top Golden Immortals, and even had over a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals act simultaneously to open the Dimension Ascension Gate, yet the High-dimensional World itself rejected us.
"It was only after understanding technological civilization and collective ascension that I discovered our fatal flaw.
"The civilization's level of development was severely lacking.
"The energy mastered by individuals cannot conceal the intellectual decay. The ascension system seems to have rendered the Immortal Realm aloof, yet except for that ancient time when I intervened forcefully, creating the Eight Great Immortal Palaces, what changes have occurred over the long history of the Immortal Realm? Constant fighting, life and death struggles, without even a complete set of penal codes and statutes.
"So-called talent comes first, how barbaric.
"The strong remain strong, the weak dependent, dignity hard to preserve, no common good at all.
"Sometimes I wonder, what difference would it make for the Human Race to unify the Immortal Realm? But every time, the response from Heavenly Dao is that the Human Race internally is divided and kills each other.
"Every time I question, the answer has always been the inherent evil of living beings.
"You always say that living beings make the world more prosperous and vibrant... but that's only from the perspective of living beings, not from the perspective of the world.
"The living, are cancer.
"So I gave up the notion of leading the Immortal Realm to transcendence.
"I loathe this dirty and unbearable world... just as Hei Yao loathed the spirit cultivation civilization back then."
Po Luo paused, looking at the Three Realms Wanderer, and gently asked:
"Now, can you understand me?"
The Three Realms Wanderer pondered deeply.
He was thinking, seriously considering the words spoken by Po Luo.
There was indeed a resonance here, a very strong resonance; he had once witnessed the Yina civilization gaining spiritual power technology and then bullying, revenging, and retaliating against other civilizations, which stirred a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
He had fallen into a deep guilt;
And this guilt was also the source of his self-degeneration back then.
Looking back, the version of himself who earnestly sought to help the Yina civilization was indeed... a bit overly naive...
The Three Realms Wanderer sighed and began to actively talk about his love and hate entanglements with the Yina civilization.
Po Luo listened with great interest.
This was a display of confidence in victory.
Po Luo actually knew that the Three Realms Wanderer's purpose in delaying time might be to wait for some killer move.
And what Po Luo could do now, besides killing some living beings, was not much else.
The emotional changes of Sword Nine and others could not escape his gaze; the Human Race would not agree to those three conditions, and this negotiation had already broken down.
[Let these insects try.]
This subtle emotion lingered in Po Luo's heart, bringing him a long-lost sense of pleasure.
...
"Has Wang not returned yet?"
Zheng Shiduo had lost count of how many times he had knowingly asked.
On the bed, Wang Jixuan's forehead was still infused with that gray thread, and the thread had become much denser than before, containing an extremely complex yet profoundly simple Daoist charm.
At this moment;
Amina tightly held Wang Jixuan's hand;
Xiao Huating knelt in a praying position above Wang Jixuan's head, silently chanting with her special ability;
Mu Dan was staring at the data on various instruments, sensing Wang Jixuan's brainwaves.
On the holographic large screen, the Three Realms Wanderer was recounting his story, already mentioning how he conceived the Core Circuit.
Wang Jixuan suddenly opened his eyes!
"He's awake!" Red Snake shouted beside him.
Mu Dan immediately leaped beside Wang Jixuan; Amina was so nervous she almost forgot to breathe.
The thread on Wang Jixuan's forehead suddenly went taut, his body levitated upwards, and his hollow eyes emitted wisps of black energy, enveloping him entirely in the Daoist charm of the Death Path.
His soul seemed about to descend along this thread.
Just then!
On the side projection screen;
The Three Realms Wanderer, who was speaking fluently, suddenly seemed to sense something and looked up at Po Luo in the chariot above.
The myriad of experts also raised their heads simultaneously to the high sky.
There, as if outside the sky, a gray mist rolled in and within moments enveloped the sky above the Immortal Realm, with gigantic deceitful monsters appearing inside, constantly howling downward.
All beings below the Golden Immortal were filled with dread;
Even Eighth and Ninth Grade Golden Immortals felt a chill running down their spines;
