"Success or failure is all in vain. I have seen too much and experienced too much of the world."
"Louis, you have experienced too little." The man's voice was filled with vicissitudes of life. He slowly stretched out a hand and raised it high, gradually covering the light emitted by the chandelier above his head.
"The more the tree grows, the deeper its roots reach, into the darkness."
"You want to change everything, you want it to go your way, and there's nothing wrong with that."
"There is nothing wrong with not wanting to be reduced to being a mortal and doing nothing."
"But the fault lies in weakness, and weakness is the original sin."
“What is truly terrifying is not not seeing the world clearly, but seeing it clearly but not being able to change it.”
"Louis, you still have a long way to go. This road will never be smooth and easy. Instead, it will be full of thorns."
“You may be lost, you may be desperate, you may collapse, but you must grow wildly towards the sunshine. At the same time, your roots must spread towards the darkness.”
Louis looked at the man quietly, he had an indescribable feeling.
Are you crazy!?
Louis couldn't find any excuse to explain the other party's crazy talk except that he was a madman.
The man seemed to see the coldness in Louis' eyes.
He did not explain again, but instead looked at the ground, at the shiny darkness.
"This world is always accompanied by darkness. The light may fade away, but the darkness will never fade."
"For light comes later, and darkness reigns supreme."
"I created the Court of All Living Things with my long-cherished wish of bringing eternal life to all living beings. I did not hesitate to bear the infamy and scorn, and worked hard to develop the potion of God. Although I am darkness, I want to create light."
"We are all tree people. Our roots are gradually spreading towards darkness, but we prefer light. We look at light, feel light, and move towards light."
Louis shuddered all over.
But he still shook his head in the end: "I will not fall into the abyss of darkness just to face the light. Once you fall into the abyss, it will be difficult to climb out."
"You are wrong, Louis. The abyss is not just the dark abyss. There are also other abysses waiting for you. If you don't fall into the dark abyss, you will fall into other abysses. Your roots will always spread underground. This is the truth of human nature."
Yes, maybe people are like this. The more they grow up, the more they desire innocence, freedom, and all the light. But they always do some dark things, such as jealousy, irritability, intrigue, and deception...
Clearly longing for light, yet falling into darkness.
And this is what people are, contradictory people.
The man in front of me is not only a madman, but also an extremist madman!
Louis developed a deep fear of this man.
"Okay, go ahead and try your best to improve your cultivation as quickly as possible."
“Only by entering the next realm can you ensure that you will not lose your life in this fight.” The man murmured.
Louis gave the man a long look.
"Louis, you will truly join our Court of All Living Things."
"I just hope that one day, you will still be as innocent as you are now."
Haha, is that so! ?
Am I naive?
Louis sneered in his heart, he didn't think he was naive.
The resentful woman at the side came to Louis at this moment: "Follow me."
A sentence that couldn’t be simpler.
Louis took one last deep look at the man, and finally followed the resentful woman towards the elevator.
Watching Louis' figure gradually leaving in the elevator with the resentful woman,
The man slowly leaned against the silver throne and exhaled slowly, "In this world, there are too many people who are terribly naive, yet they think they are mature. When they are truly faced with despair, the seeds will break through the soil, and the innocence they once had will be torn to pieces in blood."
"It's just this pain..."
“It makes me want to die.”
.......
"Shadow Ghost is dead."
In an empty room.
There stood a piano, and a man was sitting in front of it, playing a beautiful piece of music gracefully with his hands wearing white gloves.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and a few beads of cold sweat appeared on Lianggui's forehead. This was the first time he felt so nervous.
The scarlet suit was trembling a little.
He couldn't imagine how angry the leader would be.
However, things turned out to be beyond his expectations.
He was still playing, playing with all his heart, as if he had no sadness or feeling at all about Shadow Ghost's death.
Just like he once said, Ghost Gate is just his tool.
Is there anyone who would feel sorry for a damaged tool?
Maybe, but that's definitely because the tools aren't up to the task yet.
But he will not be sad, because the death of a person is not worth any emotion for him.
"Let the ghost go to Humen."
"Let her take the Black Lotus."
His voice was cold, like an ice-cold machine, without a trace of emotion.
The ghost did not question it at all, but obeyed respectfully: "Yes, leader."
.......
"Xia Qianqing, there is a mission assigned to you."
On the building of the island city's night diving base.
A mature-looking woman came up to Xia Qianqing with a stack of information in her hand.
"Huh? Captain, what mission? Why so sudden?" Xia Qianqing was stunned.
The woman shook her head. "I don't know. It was very sudden and felt strange. Anyway, they specifically asked you to go to Humen and complete the mission."
"The specific mission is in the information. It seems to be to assist the Qianlong team and Shen Tianzong's top leaders in seizing the Black Lotus."
"It seems that people from all over the country have been mobilized to go to Humen."
"You're just one of them."
Hearing the word Black Lotus, Xia Qianqing's pupils shrank slightly.
Then he took the information book with both hands and whispered softly: "Humen."
"Can I not go?" Xia Qianqing asked tentatively.
The woman said, "No, this is ancient forced conscription. You have to go, but it will probably be very dangerous."
"After all, it is said that the riot in Tianhe was caused by the fight for the Black Lotus."
"People in Tianhe are still in a state of panic. It is said that the housing prices have dropped by half."
Xia Qianqing was stunned when he heard this.
Can't say no?
"What about the replacement?"
"Who do you think would risk his life to take your place?"
"Although I'm not cursing you, the mission to Humen is bound to be extremely dangerous. Although the reward is also very generous, to be honest, if you die, you will lose everything... Well, you can only wish you the best."
The woman sighed, then turned and left.
