"Is it wrong? Is it really wrong?"
Blood Nightmare looked completely bewildered.
"I endured so much torment just to unleash the pent-up resentment of being humiliated in my heart, and now you're telling me that what I did was wrong?"
He forced himself to stand up despite his injuries and stared intently at Shen Zhao.
"Is it right for me to endure that humiliation and do nothing?"
Shen Zhao shook his head, feeling an indescribable desolation about the Blood Nightmare before him, as if it were being pulled by a mysterious force and reduced to a puppet without self-awareness.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. You should confront whoever wronged or humiliated you, instead of carrying that resentment around with the whole world."
Look at all this you've done! Is this really the result you wanted for revenge?
Xueyan shook his head fiercely: "The devil's way is also a way, why can others prove their way by killing, but I can't?"
"The Demonic Path?" Shen Zhao shook his head. "The Demonic Path is not about killing, but about challenging unjust rules. You have strayed from the right path."
"Hahaha, I see. All of this is the bitter fruit of my own self-righteousness."
As the blood tears of the Nightmare slid down his cheeks, hatred rekindled in his eyes.
"But this is all your fault. If you had forcibly separated me from your body, this wouldn't have happened."
Shen Zhao, you are the one who caused all of this.
Shen Zhao sighed, looking up, and nodded: "Yes, it was I who caused the imbalance of Yin and Yang in the parallel universe."
I separated you from my body to prevent myself from losing my true nature, so I came back.
To save this already shattered world, and to save myself.
After saying that, Shen Zhao stretched out his hand: "You are me, and I am you. Let us return to our true selves and reshape this upside-down and chaotic world."
Blood Nightmare remained silent for a long time as he looked at Shen Zhao's outstretched hand.
"Can I really start over again? Can I really save myself?"
Shen Zhao smiled faintly: "How would I know if I didn't try? I have enough confidence to balance this Yin and Yang now, but I need your strength right now."
The Blood Nightmare's form gradually began to become transparent and dissipate. As Shen Zhao took another step forward, he grasped Shen Zhao's hand the instant it touched him.
"You created me, and at the same time, I also created your future self. We are one."
"We are one, inseparable, and the cycle of reincarnation ends."
"ha……"
As Shen Zhao murmured to himself, Blood Nightmare finally let out a relieved laugh, and his figure gradually turned into spiritual light and dissipated.
All the Daoist principles and power he had accumulated throughout his life were transformed into a piece of unpolished jade, which fell into Shen Zhao's hands.
Everything ended with the wind. Shen Zhao stood before the Blood Lotus King's Throne, remaining motionless for a long time.
"Shen Zhao, ascend the throne. Together, we will change this world."
Yu Xiyan's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"This is the real you, the man I, Yu Xiyan, have long admired."
Shen Zhao closed his eyes in thought, then turned around and questioned, "Yu Xiyan, now that things have come to this, are you still planning to hide it?"
Yu Xiyan was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"
Shen Zhao smirked: "It was Shen Zhao who created this apocalyptic world, but it was you who led him to destroy it!"
With a raised finger, thunder roared instantly.
Under the dim blood moon, two independent figures launched a final confrontation.
"I don't understand what you're saying. Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
"Enough!"
Shen Zhao shouted sharply, stopping her from speaking.
"Blood Nightmare is Shen Zhao, but Shen Zhao is not Blood Nightmare. Even if their consciousnesses are connected, they are ultimately not the same person."
Yu Xiyan, why have I become like this in this world? You've been the mastermind behind it all!
Yu Xiyan frowned slightly and listened quietly as Shen Zhao continued.
"I simply cannot fathom what reason could drive someone to become so inhuman."
Human hatred can escalate and spiral out of control, but it will never reach such a depraved and insane level.
Unless this person has lost his mind, the reason why Blood Nightmare has become like this is,
It's all because you transferred the resentment within you; he wanted revenge, and you used his obsession as a means to achieve it.
Use his hands to fulfill his ambition, kill his father, humiliate his mother, in another time and space,
You did all these dark things yourself, but why did Yu Xiyan become like that?
I've figured this out in the long river of time. In parallel universes, your actions will directly affect her soul and behavior due to spatial overlap.
The intrusion of a trace of resentment will amplify the negative emotions countless times, and eventually make people's reason and spirit completely collapse, and lose their remaining original intention.
Think about it, Yu Xiyan. Do you still remember how spirited and ambitious you were when you first ascended the throne?
Even if I am not capable enough, I vow to make the Dayin Dynasty a powerful country.
You once said that if one day you could stand at the pinnacle of the Nine Realms...
We must ensure that all suffering people under heaven are freed from hunger and cold, and achieve universal harmony.
But as the country grew stronger, your nature had already been completely lost, and your ambitions grew bigger and bigger.
They only want to enjoy the praise that comes with the pinnacle of power, but will never look at the people you once tried to save.
However, after falling from the peak, you can no longer be content to be an ordinary emperor.
Unable to endure the mockery and ridicule from those around you any longer, you used the hatred that the Blood Nightmare harbored towards you...
They orchestrated a cataclysmic scheme, driven by the belief that if they couldn't have it, they might as well destroy it.
The mind of Blood Nightmare has been perfectly brainwashed and manipulated, transferring all your hatred for the entire Nine Realms onto Blood Nightmare through the Lost Dream Heart Sutra.
