Of course, it wasn't that the Dharma Supreme didn't want to take action, but Wu Juecheng's aura never relaxed. Instead, it was getting stronger and stronger. The current Wu Juecheng was definitely a volcano on the verge of erupting.
The Dharma Supreme was silent for a long time before he finally said, "Brother Wu, why do you think there is a traitor in this world?"
Wu Juecheng sneered. "What's so strange about this? Bastards who are born will usually become traitors!"
"Wrong!" The Dharma Supreme smiled lightly and said, "There has never been anyone who wants to betray willingly … You don't understand." He laughed bleakly. "Someone like you who comes from a big family won't understand at all."
Wu Juecheng sneered. "Is that so? Are you saying that there is still reason for betraying one's own brother? You actually have the cheek to speak so eloquently? I'd like to hear what you have to say. "
Chu Le 'er took the opportunity to use her energy to wrap around Chu Yang and the others, hiding far away at the side. At least, she ensured that Wu Juecheng didn't have to be distracted by other matters.
The Dharma Supreme laughed, not taking Chu Le 'er's actions to heart. He said, "Brother Wu, if I say that I didn't betray back then, what will you do?"
Wu Juecheng sneered. "You didn't betray?! Could it be that I betrayed back then? Or is it that the meaning of betrayal is the opposite of what you know? "
The Dharma Supreme didn't take Wu Juecheng's words to heart. He only looked back at where Chu Yang was with some pity. He smiled bitterly and said, "The opportunity is gone. If we can't kill the Tribulation Sword Master today, I'm afraid our lives will be difficult."
Wu Juecheng snorted.
"Brother Wu, we all have the same experience and have experienced the same betrayal. Why are you still so protective of him today?" The Dharma Supreme asked curiously, "Could it be that you still have some … fantasies about the Tribulation Sword Master?"
Wu Juecheng said, "You don't have to worry about this. You've been rambling for so long. Now you're trying to sow discord between us. You still haven't given up and refuse to answer my question directly. What is your intention? You know what I care about the most! "
"You sneak attacked me and plotted against me. I can settle the score with you later. But this time, how did your brother offend you again?! Bastard. Explain it to me! "
The Dharma Supreme smiled and said, "Brother Wu, I also know that it is very difficult for me to explain this matter clearly, and even more difficult for the world to acknowledge. Moreover, I don't understand why Brother Wu would care so much about this matter … But this matter has been pressing down on my heart for tens of thousands of years. He had really held it in for a long time. Since Brother Wu is so interested, there's no harm in me talking about it. Once I talk about it, Brother Wu will be able to clear up your doubts. "
"Go on, I'm listening." Wu Juecheng's face was still as calm as water, his murderous intent not reduced in the slightest. His gaze was locked onto the Dharma Supreme.
The Dharma Supreme took a deep breath and said, "Let's not talk about how Jun Lie, the Master of the Calamity Sword, treated us then. Just my other eight brothers, they are definitely the people of my life. My most important brother, if I have a choice, as long as I can meet him again, what is this life worth?! "
"The brotherhood of the past. Even after tens of thousands of years, he would still be filled with emotions when he thought about it. Just like yesterday. "
"I, Diwu Chouchang, am not a heartless person. When Brother Tribulation united the world, almost all the plans came from me. If I really had second thoughts, I believe that Brother Tribulation would not have made it to the end. I wonder if Brother Wu agrees with this? "
Wu Juecheng said, "Yes, when Tribulation became sworn brothers, there are three people who are the most important. The first is naturally the Master of the Calamity Sword, the second is the think tank, and the third is Brother Tribulation's number one person other than the Master of the Calamity Sword."
"After the world was at peace, Jun Lie schemed and planned to use all of us brothers to mend the world and achieve his great cause. Back then, I thought that no matter who among us brothers made it out in the end, as long as he made it out, it would be a victory. However, if I made it out, the effect might be greater. Because I am resourceful, I have plans, I am related to the big picture, and most importantly, I am calm enough."
The Dharma Supreme said, "If only one of us brothers can survive, then it is most beneficial for me to make it out alive! Does Brother Wu agree with this? "
Wu Juecheng nodded again. "Yes! Throughout the generations, the think tanks of Tribulation have always been the wisest of the generation. In terms of destructive power, they might not be below the Master of the Calamity Sword! "
"Therefore, back then, I finally decided to use the power of the spirits of my brothers to fight with all my might. The result was that I made it out alive and have been struggling at death's door until today."
The Dharma Supreme smiled sadly. "Logically speaking, it is indeed best for me to make it out alive. In any case, it should be me alive to create the greatest value. However, in terms of friendship, what right do I have? "
"Why should I be the one to make it out alive? The spirits of the other brothers have all been destroyed, shouldn't the others be alive? "
"What kind of logic is this?"
"For more than ten thousand years, my primordial spirit had been drifting in the wilderness, unable to do anything. Every day, I was thinking of my brothers. In the beginning, I was still trying to convince myself, using all kinds of reasons to convince myself. However, it is easy to deceive others, but difficult to deceive oneself. People are the most difficult to deceive themselves. A guilty conscience is a guilty conscience. No reason can justify this. "
"In the end, I understood one thing. One thing that I should have understood long ago, but still couldn't. "
"Between brothers, it is the spirit of brotherhood to live and die together. Even if we die together because of some conspiracy, we can live without regrets. But … when everyone is dead, only you are still alive. Furthermore, you are using the mental energy of your brothers before they died to survive … This kind of guilt, this kind of torment, do you understand? It turns out that the last person alive is actually the one who suffers the most! "
The Dharma Supreme spoke with his hands behind his back, his voice exceptionally calm.
Wu Juecheng took a deep breath, only to feel bitterness in his mouth. I don't understand? How can I not understand? Didn't I go through this process back then?
At most, I just lacked a link compared to you.
"With guilt and torment, I began to analyze myself again. I made it out alive. In the situation back then, was I selfish at all?!"
The Dharma Supreme smiled bitterly and said, "After overturning myself countless times, I gradually realized and confirmed that I was selfish! Back then, when I was about to die, I really did have the thought of 'I want to live on'. "
"Then, I felt even more guilty! Even more unbearable! "
"Troubled by guilt, I couldn't live with myself. There were even many times when I thought of self-destructing my primordial soul and ending it all with my death. However, it was my brothers who exchanged all of their divine souls for my survival. How could I die so casually? Hence, I had a new idea. As long as I could get my body again, no matter what, I could do something for my brothers' families! Do a lot of things! No matter what, I would do it to make it up to them! "
"But when I got my body back and cultivated to the point where I could control it, I discovered that my brothers' clans were all gone! Not even a single descendant could be found! Because time doesn't stop. Too much time has passed! "
"And the most ironic thing was that the Diwu Clan that I established was the only one left at that time! And it was one of the big clans at that time. However, it was also under attack by Tribulation and was in imminent danger. It could be destroyed at any time. "
"Firstly, at that time, I was only at the initial stage of controlling my body. My divine soul wasn't really in perfect harmony with my body, so I couldn't unleash very strong abilities. Secondly … it was also because of my mentality. My brothers' descendants were all gone, but my descendants were still around. Why?!"
"I've already let them down. I was the only one who survived by using the power of their divine souls. Why should only my descendants continue to exist?"
"Hence, I didn't participate in the battle back then. I watched as the Diwu Clan gradually declined. I only said one sentence to Zhuge, one of the Tribulations at that time. It was because of this sentence that the Diwu Clan avoided the crisis of complete destruction and became a vassal of the Zhuge Clan."
"Then, I began my ten-thousand-year-long career as the Dharma Supreme …" The Dharma Supreme smiled bitterly. "During those years when my soul was wandering, there wasn't a moment when I didn't want to do something for my brothers. But in reality … I realized that there was actually nothing I could do. Since that was the case, why did I come out at that time? "
"Every moment I enjoyed a high position and power, I felt even more sorry for my brothers … My brothers risked their lives just to let me enjoy a high position and power here?" The Dharma Supreme sighed.
Wu Juecheng said angrily, "Since you feel sorry, then you can live in seclusion and not be the Dharma Supreme, okay? You didn't even make this choice and you still refuse to admit that you were blinded by greed and betrayed them?! "
The Dharma Supreme laughed bitterly. "Blinded by greed? Betrayed them? After a long time, I felt more and more guilty. Finally, I started to think of not being the Dharma Supreme so that I wouldn't have to suffer so much inner torment … "
Wu Juecheng said, "Yes! You shouldn't be the Dharma Supreme! "
"But … Anyway, I've already let them down for so many years. If I give up now, not only will I have endured so many years of guilt for nothing, I'll also lose my high position and power?" The Dharma Supreme sighed.
"You … bastard!" Wu Juecheng was speechless.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that there would be such a strange turn of events. It was really like what he said, the desire for power could really erode people's hearts. Even Tribulation's think tank was no exception.
The Dharma Supreme laughed bitterly. "I also know that my way of doing things is very bastardly. Even thinking about it, I shouldn't have done it. But, there are actually only three reasons. Firstly, I've already broken the jar. Secondly, the erosion of power and influence, the gradual change in my mentality. Thirdly … they're already dead. And they've already been dead for tens of thousands of years. This is already an established fact … What's the use of persisting? What's the point?! "
"So much so that I continued to walk down this path step by step. In the end … it's too late to turn back."
…
Finally, the Dharma Supreme was about to reach his limit. The most heinous person in the Heavenly Layer, and also the most pitiful person in the Heavenly Layer …
I've poured more effort into this person. Although most people don't like him, and I don't like him either, the twists and turns of his life are almost a history of the evolution of good and evil.
