Chapter 487 The obsession he has been looking for, the obsession he can't let go
"Senior, do you want to hear the truth?"
"certainly."
"Because I don't want to. I feel these titles and identities will restrict me."
Su Ming looked at Wu Zhong, his eyes not wavering at all, his gaze firm.
"Will it bind you?"
After hearing this answer, Wu Zhong looked surprised.
Throughout the entire alliance, everyone wants to climb up, gain status, and get a good position. This is a very normal mentality.
Let me ask you, which monk doesn’t have a heart to achieve great things?
As the saying goes, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier.
Let’s not talk about others, just take Wu Zhong himself as an example. If he were Su Ming’s age and in this situation, he would definitely try his best to climb up.
Because the title and status of the Mutian Alliance is not an empty position.
It represents a certain degree of resource tilt. The higher you climb, the more power you enjoy, as well as the generous cultivation resources. The higher you climb, the more powerful people you come into contact with, and the more people can help you.
It was the first time he heard the answer "binding".
"As far as I know, the status of the Mutian Alliance also represents the tilt of resources."
"If you serve as the 'Deputy Head', apart from anything else, the salary you receive in one year will be enough for you to practice hard for many years."
Wu Zhong continued to ask.
"A noble status will cause one to lose his original intention and gradually lose his dedication to cultivation."
"Once you become strong, your status and position will come naturally."
Su Ming gave his answer.
After listening to this, Wu Zhong was stunned for a moment, and then continued to ask: "But there are also many people in the alliance who will not forget to practice hard when they hold important positions."
“Why can’t we enjoy better resources while continuing to maintain our original aspirations? Isn’t this better?”
Because the alliance has a unique screening mechanism, once someone takes up an important position, he will be closely observed to see whether he has lost his original intention, whether he is obsessed with profit, or whether he is arrogant and extravagant.
Therefore, the atmosphere in the alliance is very good from top to bottom, otherwise Wu Zhong would not have the confidence to say this.
After hearing this, Su Ming fell silent.
At this time, Wu Zhong continued to ask: "What you mean is that you think the atmosphere within the alliance is very distorted?"
Because there is no reason for Su Ming to reject the alliance's attention, or he feels that the atmosphere within the alliance is very bad and he is unwilling to join it.
But as the leader of the alliance, he knows the internal atmosphere of the alliance very well. In addition, with Dong'er secretly supervising, it is impossible for any unhealthy trends to appear in the alliance.
"No."
"The spirit of the Mutian Alliance is very positive, more positive than any other force I've been in before."
Su Ming answered slowly.
"Then why?" Wu Zhong really couldn't understand this young man.
Since he chose to join the alliance, he is unwilling to integrate into the alliance; since he is willing to play for the alliance, he is unwilling to accept the attention of the league. What kind of strange mentality is this?
At this moment, Wu Zhong remembered Dong'er's advice to him to be patient. Then he realized that he seemed to be a little aggressive.
"What I mean is, what are you really thinking? If you're willing to talk about it, just chat and I'm willing to listen." Wu Zhong slowed down his tone and asked slowly.
"I don't know either."
As he spoke, Su Ming turned his head and looked towards the horizon, his eyes flickering, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
After hearing this answer, Wu Zhong also sighed heavily in his heart.
This young man is really weird.
Seeing that this topic could not be continued, he changed the subject: "I remember that the alliance should be equipped with caves. For your outstanding military achievements, the alliance should reward you with a separate mountain and a separate cave. Why do you live here?"
"Could it be that you also refused?"
Hearing this, Su Ming shook his head: "I didn't refuse."
"I exchanged the reward for other cultivation resources and sent them to my hometown."
After hearing this answer, Wu Zhong was a little surprised.
"Where is your hometown?"
"Dark Yan Demon Realm?"
From the information Dong'er provided him, he learned that Su Ming came from a relatively barren demon world called Dark Devouring Demon World.
Hearing this, Su Ming raised his eyebrows, his deep eyes flickered continuously, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that the senior knows me very well."
He had left the Dark Demon Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago, and then continued to ascend, eventually arriving at the Tianmu Divine Realm. Apart from himself, no one else knew that he was from the Dark Demon Realm.
Because he never told anyone.
Therefore, when this middle-aged senior mentioned the "Dark Demonic Realm", he was so moved.
"As for how I knew this, it's not important."
"Don't be nervous, relax, I'm just chatting with you."
"As far as I know, the Dark Devouring Demon Realm is not a powerful one. It is even somewhat poor and weak. Even if you intend to support such a weak demon world, it will not be able to improve much because the world status is too low and the upper limit is fixed."
"Your efforts and gains are totally disproportionate, and it may even affect your own development and cultivation."
“There are many outstanding young people in the alliance who come from humble backgrounds and who also support their hometowns, but in the end the effect is not significant.”
"Because they live in a barren world, it is difficult for a second person to catch up with them."
"If I'm guessing correctly, there is no other person like you in the Dark Devouring Demon Realm that you support. They haven't caught up with you, even a little bit. They are very far away from you."
"Even in their eyes, you are just an illusory legend. Your efforts are just wishful thinking."
Wu Zhong hit the nail on the head and pointed out Su Ming's problem directly.
Those who can ascend to the divine realm step by step have already surpassed their native world far and are no longer in the same dimension.
There are several deputy commanders in the Alliance Legion. They even climbed here step by step from the low-level martial arts world. Will they go back and support their original low-level martial arts world?
Yes, there are some, but they are very few, and everyone will let go of their obsession eventually.
Just imagine that you have been ascending for so many years, your original world and the people related to you have long disappeared, and even countless eras have passed. The entire world has nothing to do with you anymore, so what reason do you have to linger on?
Taoism and Buddhism share a common philosophy, which is to let go of worldly matters.
Because when you reach a certain time, a certain level, and a certain height, after the passage of time, all worldly things have to be let go, and they will be let go naturally.
Hearing this, Su Ming was silent for a long time, and long-forgotten memories emerged in his mind.
He couldn't let go of the Dark Demon Realm because of an obsession, the obsession he had been looking for.
