"That great man will never return... and the Confucian cultivators of the outside world vanished tens of thousands of years ago. Whether it was war, conspiracy, or simply oblivion... This has forced me to ponder a question: why did Confucian cultivators truly perish? Why did beings with love, kindness, and justice face destruction? I thought about the hundreds of races, and why it seems that all beings in the world of immortal cultivation today all appear in human form. Aren't humans the most complex race in this world, with the most endless desires?"
The Divine Word Tree looked into the distance through the stone temple, and finally stopped at the stone statues in the center of the temple.
"Although I also feel that the human race has complex and selfish desires, I also have to admit that they understand a lot, create a lot, and adapt quickly. There are fifty great ways, forty-nine of which are derived from heaven, and the human shield is one... How can we capture and seek out the lost secrets of heaven? However, although I believe that the human race conforms to heaven's will, I don't think that they are the only ones who conform to heaven's will, just like the races of the past. The human race... they merely conform to the will of heaven today, and we live in the world of today. So when the past becomes the past, shouldn't some things also be abandoned?"

The Red-Feathered Seven-Headed Bird was a little annoyed. He had heard too many great truths over the years and read the inheritance over and over again, and he was already a little bored.
"What does this have to do with Shen Qingyi?"
He finally adapted to his current life and no longer had any hope for those things...
"It's not just the human race that believes in yin and yang. The Soul Clan and the Beast Clan also believe in yin and yang. The rules missing from this world aren't just the rules of magic power. The world outside... perhaps the same is true."
Otherwise, how come no true saint has been born in all these years?
"Most of the Confucian traditions originated from that time. Back then, all races flourished, and the world was full of vitality. Confucianism was born from the positive yang of heaven and earth, and emerged from the yang side. But yin and yang are inseparable. Extreme yang gives birth to extreme yin, and extreme yin gives birth to extreme yang. How can one gain a foothold in heaven and earth with a heart full of love for all living beings?"
The beasts couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.
"If you want to gain a foothold in heaven and earth, how can you not absorb the spirits of heaven and earth? Plants and trees are spirits, humans and beasts are spirits, mountains and rocks are spirits... and this is what gives rise to the survival of the fittest and the rule of strength in the world of immortal cultivation! To become stronger, you must survive! To survive, you must fight for resources! To fight for resources... how can you avoid bloodshed?"
The six-eyed monkey was breathing rapidly and clenching his fists.
"Are I destined to have my hands stained with blood? To trample on the corpses of other living beings to forge my own supreme path?!"
The supreme way?
The Divine Word Tree couldn't help but sneer.
Everyone is pursuing the supreme path!
Countless people are also looking for a path that doesn't require their hands to be stained with blood...
"Have you heard of Daoyuan Mountain in the Immortal Realm? Even if they hide it well, we should know something about the countless thousands of years of information, even if only a few pieces of information have been revealed in a few hundred years. Why does Daoyuan Mountain, known as the Holy Land of the Immortal Realm, trigger a reincarnation cycle at a fixed time? And what exactly is this reincarnation? Why is it that the world of immortal cultivation...whether it is the outside world, the secret realm, or even the Fallen God Realm with its own rules, cannot escape the theory of reincarnation? I don't understand the true Dao now, but sometimes I really dare to speculate. Is the reincarnation of Daoyuan Mountain connected to the reincarnation of countless realms? Is the energy of Daoyuan Mountain..."
He didn't say this out loud.
After all, some things, even words, are tainted with cause and effect.
The animals became even more frightened as they heard this.
The red-feathered seven-headed bird looked at the green-eyed child in the Divine Word Tree and felt a little cold for some reason.
"And this cycle is the rise and fall, the alternation of yin and yang!"
The Divine Word Tree stood up and gently tapped the water mirror with his finger. Countless green light spots rotated along the water mirror.
"When I investigated her information, I even suspected she was... born long ago in the unknown. Just like the 'Ni' that the Holy King Palace feared, it was only because of countless failures and countless accumulations that Chen Qingyi, who now holds the Yin and Yang, was born! Even the clan knows that water merges into the sea, leaving behind bloodlines. And how could the Confucian cultivators, after sacrificing half of their Confucian hearts, not leave a way out for themselves? Perhaps they also anticipated the changes in the immortal world, anticipated that some people would be disgraceful, anticipated the rise and fall of Yin and Yang! So, why can Yin and Yang coexist, but Confucianism and the Way of Ruthlessness cannot coexist?!"
The Divine Word Tree closed its eyes, then opened them again, a light flickering in its eyes.
"Love binds all living things, yet all living things are bound by many fetters. However, because 'lovelessness' frees one from attachment, the ruthless path can sever these fetters! If Shen Qingyi were only a Confucianist, how could she possibly survive in today's world of immortal cultivation?! Therefore, I actually hope that she cultivates the ruthless path! Only by surviving can one love, right?"
It just so happens that Confucianism, which lacks the negative side, collides with the ruthless Taoism, which lacks the positive side!
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
The six-eyed monkey sighed, walked step by step towards the stone statue in the hall, and finally knelt down at the foot of the statue.
"My life span is short. If... that cultivator wants a beast to activate the demonic power in Yuanze Peak, then let me go."
"Old monkey!"
The red-feathered seven-headed bird looked at the six-eyed monkey with its eyes closed, and it felt like a fire was burning in its heart.
The Divine Word Tree also knelt down before the stone statue.
"What's trapping us isn't just the immortal cultivators, the seal, and the rules..."
As long as the world is not perfect, all living beings are trapped!
They left the Fallen Angel Realm, and then what?
What our ancestors said was right!
They have to follow the rules until they are broken!
The red-feathered seven-headed bird sniffed with force.
"That person, if you need ancient beast crystals, I have a lot of them in my private collection."
Over the years, even if there were only a few traces left by those fallen companions, they would pile up into a mountain.
Even though he understood that was the rule, he... still couldn't bear to watch his people fall one by one!
"I'll give her all the ancient beast crystals I have saved! And also those... spiritual plants and spiritual medicines!"
The Red-Feathered Seven-Headed Bird felt uncomfortable, and suddenly he could understand how that person Xiu felt.
There is love in the heart, but it must be ruthless...
The Divine Word Tree patted the largest head of the Red Feathered Seven-Headed Bird.
"This is something she had to go through, and this is something we all have to go through."
The cruelty of the Immortal Realm is sometimes even more cruel than that of the Fallen Angel Realm.
How can you move forward without going through the tempering?
Shen Qingyi is like this!
So do they!
"Then... then no, can't we end it a little earlier?"
Although he felt a little sympathy for Shen Qingyi, it was only a little.
