Ding Ning shook his head and sighed. With an extremely sincere expression, he said, "It's extremely rare for a Martial Soul to have a spirit. If you choose to leave, I won't stop you. I'll even give the Dark Totem to you as a place to stay. Why do you lie to me?"
"No, I can't accept this. It wasn't easy for me to gain sentience. Why should I let you control my fate? You have no ambition and only want to live a simple life with your woman. People like you don't have the qualifications to become a peerless overlord."
The black shadow roared emotionally, denouncing Ding Ning's lack of ambition. He said ambitiously, "If I can control my own fate, I'll definitely make the name Ding Ning resound throughout the universe and become the only supreme overlord in this world."
"And then?"
Ding Ning asked calmly.
"And then …"
The black shadow was tongue-tied and didn't know how to answer. He hadn't even become an overlord. Who would think about the future?
"Alas!"
Ding Ning sighed slowly. "And then, you'll become a lonely man without friends, brothers, and even lovers? Wherever you go, people treat you with respect. Every day, your ears are filled with all kinds of flattery. Countless people are like flies that can't be swatted away, desperately trying to curry favor with you. They want to win your favor in order to obtain the greatest benefits. Is that really the kind of life you want? "
The black shadow was stunned. After being speechless for a long time, he muttered unhappily, "That's still better than living a carefree life."
"This is life. Ten thousand people have ten thousand thoughts. Everyone wants a different life."
Ding Ning's expression was indifferent. He said calmly, "Perhaps in your eyes, becoming a peerless overlord is your highest pursuit and ideal. But in my heart, whether it's a vigorous life or an ordinary life, the most important thing is to be happy."
"Happy?"
The black shadow seemed to feel that this word was a little strange. He subconsciously repeated it.
"Yes, happy. For example, if you want to be an overlord now, you have to fight for it, right? You have to fight with others, fight with others, and make enemies with others, right? When you're not strong enough, if you meet someone stronger than you, do you have to endure it? "
Ding Ning said patiently and patiently.
"I can't bear it. I'll kill him."
The black shadow said murderously.
Ding Ning rolled his eyes speechlessly. "What if you can't beat him? Don't even talk about killing them, they might just kill you if you're not careful. "
"I … a gentleman's revenge is never too late. I can hide and wait until I'm strong enough to kill him."
The black shadow unconsciously followed Ding Ning's plan.
"That's right. That's why I said that if you're not strong enough, you have to endure it. Alright, even if you have extraordinary aptitude, you still need time to grow, right? It might only take one year, two years, three years, or even eight to ten years. When you finally become strong enough to kill your enemies, that feeling of being able to hold your head high is indeed very satisfying. But I want to ask you, during this period of time when you have no choice but to endure, will you be very happy?"
Ding Ning continued to guide him.
"How can I be happy when I'm filled with grievances and hatred?"
The black shadow looked at him as if he were looking at a fool and replied.
Ding Ning smiled very happily. "Look, this is the inequality between giving and receiving. You can kill the enemy and feel proud and elated just for a moment. Let me give you more time. Three days is enough for you to get over the excitement of killing the enemy with your own hands, right?"
The black figure nodded subconsciously. Indeed, the thrill of killing an enemy with one's own hands could not last for too long. Three days was already a very long time.
"For these three days of happiness, you have to exchange one or two years, or even eight to ten years of unhappiness. Do you think it's worth it?"
Ding Ning said in a serious tone.
The black shadow was silent. It seemed that what Ding Ning said made sense. But he always felt that something was wrong, but he could not tell what it was.
"Well, even if you think it's worth it, let me ask you again. If you want to look at all the mountains, do you have to cross many dangerous mountains?"
Ding Ning did not linger on this topic and continued to ask.
"Of course, if you want to get something, you have to pay. No one in this world can succeed casually."
The black shadow knew the real situation of the society very well, and what he said was very philosophical.
"Although the scenery at the top of the pyramid is very good, the place is too small after all, and not many people can stand on it. What's more, you want to be a supreme overlord. Then, will those who have the same idea as you become your competitors?"
Ding Ning continued to ask.
The black shadow nodded. "Thousands of sails compete against each other, and those who set sail on the sea are the first. Since you want to reach the top, there must be competition. This is inevitable."
"Then the problem is that some competitors are not as good as you and will be killed by you with one strike. But as your strength rises, your enemies will also become stronger and stronger. Then, how much time of unhappiness do you plan to exchange for a moment of happiness?"
Ding Ning said in a serious tone.
The black shadow was stunned. According to what Ding Ning said, being an overlord seemed to be a laborious and unrewarding thing.
"Everyone has his own ambition, and you can't force it. Maybe in your eyes, I am a person with no ambition. In fact, I don't deny this. I really don't have big ambitions and pursuits. I prefer a plain and warm life. In that kind of life, I will feel very fulfilled, happy, and satisfied every day."
Although Ding Ning lost his memory, his nature did not change. He still yearned for a plain life in his bones, and his eyes sparkled with longing. "Think about it, living in a paradise without worldly affairs with your relatives and lovers. The men farm and the women weave, expressing their love to the mountains and rivers. Every day, we play the guqin, practice martial arts, write, play chess, and study the things we are interested in. Occasionally, when friends come to visit, we will have a drink or two together. That kind of life, I really can't exchange it for an immortal."
"What's so good about that? I'm bored to death. How can it be as free and unrestrained as taking revenge and traveling in Jianghu with a sword?"
The black shadow curled his lips and said in disagreement.
"Free and unrestrained? Traveling in Jianghu with a sword? That's because Jianghu is beautified in Wuxia novels. Don't you think about it? Those Jianghu people either kill people or are chased by people every day. They live a life of blood, fear, and anxiety all day long. How can it be as good as described in novels? "
Ding Ning said in a tone that could see through the world. After saying that, he looked stunned. It seemed that this was not what a person with amnesia could say, but he said it naturally.
"That's better than being cooped up in a poor valley all day long. At least that way, we can live as we want. "
The black shadow, like a teenager with the second grade of middle school, yearned for the Jianghu life where he rode horses and whips, and retorted unconvincingly.
"Live as we want? It's easier said than done. No one in the world dares to say that they can do whatever they want. "
Ding Ning, like a life mentor, said enthusiastically, "All the limits of doing whatever we want must be guaranteed by our strong enough strength or background. We don't have a strong background, only a lonely back. So, I think it's better for us to grow up in a wretched way."
"What do you mean by growing up in a wretched way?"
The black shadow's eyes brightened, and he was not ashamed to ask for advice.
"Growing up in a wretched way!"
Ding Ning had a headache. He didn't remember anything, and some words just came out of his mouth. If he really wanted to explain it seriously, he really didn't know how to explain it.
But looking at the black shadow's thirsty eyes, he could only organize his words, winked, and said, "You know, it's to work in a wretched way."
The black shadow's face was full of confusion. "I know? What do I know? What's a wretched way? Enter the village? Enter the village for what? To rob a young widow? "
"Ahem, now let's get back to the topic. You have your pursuit, and I have my dream. Everyone has his own ambition, and you can't force it. Now you think about whether you want to leave and set up another sect. If you insist on leaving, I won't force you, and I'll give you the Dark Totem as a place for you to live. At least, I can guarantee that you won't disappear in a short time."
Ding Ning was afraid that he would be entangled in this topic, so he became serious, changed the topic seriously, and said seriously.
"I …"
The black shadow was in a dilemma. With his intelligence, which had just been born, he really didn't know how to choose.
If he left, he wouldn't be able to become a psychic fetus of Taoism, reincarnate, and realize his dream.
But if he didn't leave, Ding Ning would obviously rather die than reincarnate. If he stayed, he might be buried with him, which was not the life he wanted.
"Take your time to think about it. I'm not in a hurry."
Ding Ning said unhurriedly. He simply lay on the ground with his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and hummed a tune, looking relaxed and satisfied.
"Aren't you afraid of death?"
Looking at his indifferent look, the black shadow suddenly became angry. "I am afraid.
What's the use of being afraid? "
Ding Ning said indifferently, "Besides, I'm more afraid of loneliness. It's better for me to die than to become a psychic fetus of Taoism and reincarnate."
"Then what are you going to do now?"
The black shadow thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how to choose, so he asked with some uncertainty.
"Since we're here, we'll make the best of it. We won't starve to death. Just wait patiently."
Ding Ning closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, and said calmly.
"But, those two women are still waiting."
The black shadow reluctantly looked at Li and Mei on the screen.
"Then you go, choose any one of them to reincarnate."
The corner of Ding Ning's mouth curved up imperceptibly. He always felt that the black shadow was not as simple as awakening a spiritual Martial Soul.
He seemed to be very familiar with this place. Even he didn't know that there were two women waiting outside to give birth to a psychic fetus of Taoism. How did the black shadow know?
What's more, the black shadow should be a Martial Soul condensed by dark elements, but he inexplicably smelled a smell of the origin that was far beyond the level of dark elements.
The origin was the embodiment of the order above the law, and it was a collection of energy that contained the law of the Great Way. It was far from something that he could touch at his current level.
As for why he knew the concept of the origin, he also couldn't tell. It was as if it was God's will that made him inexplicably know this word.
In fact, if he had a complete memory now, he would understand that the star nucleus in his acupuncture point was actually a kind of origin.
"Should I go by myself?"
The black shadow hesitated for a moment, obviously a little tempted. After all, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and he really didn't want to miss it.
However, he was not a complete psychic fetus of Taoism. Even if he reincarnated, could he reach the perfect aptitude of the psychic fetus of Taoism after reincarnation?
"Do you need any procedure?"
Ding Ning asked tentatively, although he already knew the answer.
The black shadow was thinking. Hearing this, he subconsciously answered, "To open the reincarnation passage, I need the blood of gods and human beings for the blood sacrifice …"
As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he hurriedly closed his mouth and looked at Ding Ning with a guilty conscience.
Ding Ning's heart thumped, and he was suddenly angry. Although he didn't remember where he had seen the blood sacrifice, he vaguely knew that it seemed to be an extremely evil sacrificial method, which made him very disgusted.
