"No, I'm just happy. I never thought I would find the meaning of life so easily. I also thought of an ideal that I can pursue for the rest of my life." Wu Yu excitedly shared his joy with the system.
"Oh? What is it?" The system became interested.
"That is to live an ordinary life and die an ordinary death. Because one does not contend, no one in the world can contend with him. The only meaning of life is to live. No matter how prosperous the world is, it is just a dream. Until just now, I realized how much I really want to live. To take living as the meaning of life is enough." Wu Yu sighed from the bottom of his heart.
"Oh, that's really great," the system said in a tone that sounded like it was coaxing a child.
“But…” Wu Yu changed the subject and sighed softly, “I was really too ugly just now.”
"Heartless and ruthless, that is indeed very ugly," the system echoed.
“Heh, I didn’t have any feelings for them at all, so how can I be considered heartless?” Wu Yu shook his head and sighed, “I’m talking about the time I tried to kill Jerry with a dagger.”
"Sacrificing others to save yourself is a perfectly normal operation." The system didn't see anything wrong with it.
"To survive, I can trample on all the order of the world, but even to survive, I can never deny my past self, because that would be putting the cart before the horse. How can a mere life-and-death ordeal be worthy of changing the values I have built up for twenty years? They are the core of what makes Wu Yu who I am!" Wu Yu roared fiercely in his heart.
"So what do you want to do?" the system said with amusement.
“I understand now. It’s easier said than done. Even though I know exactly what I want, I almost succumbed to my instincts just now. How utterly shameful and grotesque that was! So, in the days to come, I will cleanse myself of my sinful side, bit by bit, piece by piece.”
"Then let's begin now. I will sever all evil in this life." Having made this promise in his heart, Wu Yu began to look at everything around him from a different perspective.
"Hey, Jerry, stop right there. I'll avenge you." Wu Yu called out to Jerry, who was practically throwing his life away.
When Wu Yu exuded an aura of extraordinary confidence, his words gained an extra layer of persuasive power, and Jerry's body, driven by hatred, inexplicably stopped moving.
Seeing that his call had been successful, Wu Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
He then climbed out of the sandpit and immediately ran to Jack.
Jack's body was still moving; he seemed to be alive, which was truly fortunate.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't save you." Wu Yu was surprised that Jack, who had difficulty even moving his body, still had the strength to speak.
Wu Yu smiled, somewhat amused and exasperated, and said, "I'm the one who should apologize. To be honest, you are perhaps the only person I, Wu Yu, admire in my life. I have seen so much of the light of humanity in you that I used to doubt. Thank you for letting me know that there really are people who stand up for justice in this world."
"Get some rest. I'll take care of the rest." Wu Yu waved his hand, then turned around and pulled out the sword stuck in front of Jack.
"One last thing, Jack, I owe you a lot, so let me pay you back a little now. First, I'll prove something to you that even I don't believe—good people will be rewarded."
No longer afraid, no longer hesitant, Wu Yu raised his sword to the sky with all his might, the tip pointing straight at the surging black mist, and then he shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Demon King, you're so arrogant! You ignored me for so long, did you really think I was an insect? I'll teach you a lesson now. No one can be high and mighty forever. It's time for you to roll around in the sand."
There was still no response, and even the most troublesome Black Dragon of Purgatory had no interest in arguing with the madman.
The demon army continued its advance. They didn't need to do anything extra; they could simply crush the insects under their feet. They just didn't know whose shoes would get dirty this time.
Wu Yu wasn't annoyed. He silently switched the sword to his left hand and muttered something in his mind.
"Activate skill!"
