Countless figures brushed past her, but they did not stop for even a moment, only walking aimlessly. Zhu Yao could not help but feel a chill in her heart. Though when she destroyed the Light of Guidance, she had already made the preparations that the Realm of Gods was not a good place. However, it was still shocking to see such a scene. It was even worse than the Netherworld. Although the Netherworld was full of Ghost Qi, it was not so desolate. Although there were many people here, it was eerily quiet, like a silent movie without subtitles.
A familiar figure walked past her. Zhu Yao's heart sank, as she reflexively pulled onto him. "Nangong Cheng."
He turned around, but his eyes were empty. He seemed to be looking at her, but there was clearly not a single shadow in his eyes. And Zhonggu Lu was not by his side.
The friend he cared so much about wasn't by his side at all.
Zhu Yao's hand trembled for a moment, and she unconsciously let go. Nangong Cheng, on the other hand, simply changed his direction and continued forward. There was no reply, no anger, and no expression on his face. Like a precise instrument, it walked according to the preset path, without sorrow or joy.
She suddenly recalled his final smile when he walked into the Light of Guidance. It was filled with hope and expectation, as if it was a newborn. But now …
"What's wrong with him?" Zhu Yao fiercely turned around.
"He has lost his sense of self." Realmspirit transformed into an exact copy of her, and took a step forward to stand by her side. "The light on the Lightning Divine Tower, is the first ray of light that was scattered towards the Three Realms when the heavens and earth were split apart. It is also the purest light in this world — the Light of Purification. "
"Purify!" Zhu Yao was startled. "Purify what?"
Realmspirit turned his head and looked at her seriously. He said softly, "Hatred, obsession, love, joy, sorrow, desire, fear, and everything else …"
Her eyes widened. "They … were cleansed of their emotions and desires?!"
Realmspirit nodded.
Zhu Yao took a step back, and once again looked at the figures in front of her. No wonder … No wonder all of these people were like puppets.
"Why did they create such a God Realm?" Zhu Yao's chest felt heavy, as though something was pressing down on it, and she could not breathe. "Is there a need to do this? Was this the end of cultivation? Is this the true meaning of Heavenly Dao? "
"Yaoyao …" He sighed. The scenery in front of her changed in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, she had once again arrived at the place overflowing with the fragrance of flowers, a place that was as beautiful as a fairyland. "This is their own choice. Becoming an immortal was also good. It doesn't matter whether they become gods or not. They chose their own paths. "
"But aren't you the one who's supporting this path?" Zhu Yao solemnly said. "Realmspirit, you're the spirit of the Three Realms. The Three Realms is you. You are the world. Aren't all the living things in this world your children? Do you want their final destination to be a barren land like the God Realm? "
"Of course not!" Realmspirit turned to look at her and smiled. "So … I found you, my friend."
"…"
"Yaoyao … I'm the spirit of the Three Realms, so I naturally cherish this world the most." He frowned. "But the living beings of this world are just like that. No matter if it's humans, beasts, or plant demons. As long as they develop spiritual intelligence, they will be disturbed by the seven emotions and six desires. As long as they have desires, they will never be satisfied. After cultivating as a deity, they will want to cultivate as a god, and after becoming a god, they will most likely want to cultivate something else … "He let out a long sigh." Though I'm the spirit of the Three Realms, what I can do is extremely limited. Luck, spiritual energy. I can even change the settings of the Heavenly Dao. I've always wanted to change and save this world, but no matter how I change it? There will always be a new problem. "
"A new problem?"
She sighed. "Do you still remember those bugs?"
Zhu Yao was startled. She nodded strangely. Why did he ask about this?
"Actually, from the very beginning, they weren't loopholes that could destroy the world, but rather patches that I designed to save the world."
"What!?" Are you freaking kidding me? Those Mary Jack Sue are patches!
"I know you won't believe me, but that's the truth." She waved her hand, and in an instant, two projections appeared in the air. What was displayed were the bugs that she had fixed in the past. However, there was a name on both screens. On the left side, it was written: Anticipated Plot. On the right side, it was written: Actual Plot.
"Let's take Xiao Yi as an example." Realmspirit pointed, and the first bug that she fixed instantly appeared on the screen. "He was born in poverty, and grew up at the lowest level. He understood the pain of lower level practitioners the most. That's why I gave him great luck. Originally, I hoped that with this level of understanding, he would be able to prevent more massacres, eliminate the breeding of resentment, and reduce the burden on the Underworld. However, I never expected that … "The two images were completely different. On the left, Xiao Yi was a great philanthropist, saving lives everywhere, upholding justice, and walking on the path of a saint. While on the other side, the "actual plot" was the same as the plot she received back then. He gathered all five spirits and ascended to the Higher Realm, and then, the world collapsed. "He directly destroyed an entire world, and the resentment was a million times more than what I expected."
"Uh …" This patch, was indeed a little stifling.
"And Mu Meiyan." Realmspirit continued. "Her resurrection, was actually to suppress the revival of the Devil. As long as her soul does not die, then the Devil will not be able to completely resurrect, and the world will be spared from a calamity. "
"She even helped spirits. In the first place, her existence was to allow the Devil who had taken over Lin Qi's body to develop feelings. As long as the original Lin Qi has feelings for her, then the devilish nature in his body will be suppressed. "
"Not to mention Ling Tian, her existence is the patch."
"And …"
"Stop!" Zhu Yao made a stop gesture, and scratched her head a little irritably. "In other words, those bugs, were actually caused by you?"
"Mn." She nodded with an innocent look.
"…" The hell! So she wasn't here to save the world, but to clean up his mess.
"Yaoyao, you have to believe me. I really had no other choice, which was why I called you over." She looked as though she was about to cry. "I have looked for many people as well, but no matter if it's humans, beasts, or any living being that has gained sentience, in the end, they will all turn into that world's bugs. The more powerful they are, the more they possess, and the more severe the consequences. There has never been a person like you who has always held onto their heart. "
"Enough, there's no need to flatter me. Just tell me your final goal." Zhu Yao waved her hand.
Realmspirit paused for a moment. Clenching his fists, he looked into her eyes with a serious expression, and then solemnly said. "I want you to reestablish the order of the Three Realms, rewrite the Heavenly Dao, and change everything. Become the manager of the Three Realms. "
"…"
The corner of Zhu Yao's lips twitched. She scanned him from head to toe with widened eyes, and then reached out to touch his forehead. "You're not having a fever, right!?" Though she was a chief planner, and could be considered a small supervisor, she had never been a CEO before.
"Yaoyao …" He immediately pulled down her hand, and his expression was stern like never before. "Only you can stop the Three Realms from heading towards destruction."
"Don't be so certain, hey." Zhu Yao was a little flustered. "I only know how to make games, I've never done something like this before." What if she went overboard?
"I believe you!"
"I don't even have confidence in myself, where do you get your confidence from?"
"You can do it." His smile was brilliant. "Actually, ever since you came here, this world has already changed in a good direction. You've already been to the Three Realms, and you already have a sufficient understanding of this world. You just have to voice out your thoughts."
This … Was he asking her to hand in her thoughts on traveling the Three Realms?
Zhu Yao was silent for a moment, before she slowly said. "Actually, I've already said what needs to be said. You've long understood the problems of this world as well, haven't you? " She raised her head and looked at him. "You closed the Heavenly Door for ascension in all the various worlds, didn't you agree with what I said? Those who are filled with slaughter, are basically not worthy of becoming Deities?"
"…"
"Realmspirit, you said that you once sent many people to fix bugs, but in the end, they would always become new leaks. Because they lost their original hearts along the way, they ended up walking on an extreme path. Then why didn't you ask everyone to not lose their original hearts right from the start? " She patted on his shoulder. "Actually, what I can't understand the most is the atmosphere of this world that promotes the law of the jungle. Because from another perspective, slaughter magnifies the greed and selfishness of humans. Actually, not all humans are like this. It's said that humans are born kind, and kindness actually exists in the depths of everyone's hearts. However, after they lost their original hearts, they would throw it away. However, the Heavenly Dao has never cared about this point. Hence, those who should ascend ascended, and those who should become Deities became Deities. "
She took a step forward, and seriously looked into Realmspirit's eyes. "Realmspirit, have you ever thought that it's actually not that they lost their original hearts along the way? Instead, from the very start, the Heavenly Dao that you've set up, has never required them to maintain their original hearts? "
"…" She was instantly stunned.
"Realmspirit, actually, all living beings in this world are the same. They are born the same, and there's nothing different about them. It's just that their circumstances have shaped their choices. If the world tells them that they don't need to maintain their original hearts, then they would throw it away without any hesitation. If the world tells them that this is the most important thing, then they would always keep it. " Zhu Yao smiled. "You said that I'm the only one who can save this world, but that's actually wrong. I'm actually the same as everyone else, the only difference is that I'm living in another plane. My world tells me that killing, plundering, and framing are all wrong. They have to be condemned. My conscience tells me that these are heinous crimes. These are unforgivable. That's why I won't do these things even if I die. "
"Realmspirit, what this world lacks isn't people who can maintain their original hearts, but the energy that can guide everyone to maintain their original hearts."
"…"
"Or to put it in other words, the world has never clearly told everyone to maintain their original hearts."
"…"
Realmspirit was silent for a long while, before she smiled a little. Even though it was clearly the same face, her smile was as though the clouds had parted to reveal the sun. It was so bright that it was a little … dazzling.
Uh … Why did she feel like she had lost? Do you dare to change your face?
