“They are wrong, so why let them shake your resolve?” Ruan Xiyan patted Junyu’s head. “You are not wrong.”
"No one teaches you good and evil, yet you still possess a kind heart. Everyone's birth has meaning; you did not exist for darkness."
Young Jun Yu suddenly looked up at Ruan Xiyan, "Then was the meaning of my birth to meet you?"
His eyes were sincere, as if he truly only harbored doubts.
Ruan Xiyan's heart pounded as she listened; such sincere yet unconscious words of love were the most alluring.
“Yes,” Ruan Xiyan replied.
A long-lost smile bloomed on Junyu's face. "Thank you for talking to me. I'm so glad. I... will I be able to dream of you again?" Junyu asked hesitantly.
"I will always be by your side as long as you need me."
In the days that followed, young Junyu spent every day lost in his dreams, hoping to meet the woman he could be close to in his dreams.
Seeing that the young Junyu no longer harbored self-loathing and doubt, and no longer mentioned leaving the Boundary World, the turbid air masses panicked completely.
"What exactly happened? This kid seems to have changed a lot." One of the turbid clouds looked at the sleeping boy Jun Yu, his voice full of gritted teeth.
“This kid was born from the source of turbid energy, and his body contains a trace of the creator god’s benevolence. He could have roamed the world and become the most powerful being in the world. At that time, he would not care about the gods or the demons.”
"But he was influenced by this ridiculous thought of kindness. Tens of thousands of years ago, he betrayed us and fled here on his own. We wanted to go with him out of the boundary marker and into the outside world."
"In order to stop us, he abandoned all the source of the turbid energy and sealed us in the Ruins of Desolation, so that we could not leave the Ruins of Desolation even half a step."
"Now that we've finally found him in the Ruins of Desolation, we'll lure him into the Boundary Marker, thinking we can manipulate the spacetime within it to start all over again, instill hatred in his heart, and plant seeds of resentment, hoping it will be effective."
"But now the hatred and resentment in his heart are decreasing. Where did things go wrong? Is the trace of goodness that the Creator God left in him so tenacious that it really cannot be changed?"
“Hehehe—this can’t go on any longer. We can’t let what happened tens of thousands of years ago repeat itself.” Another hoarse voice rang out.
"No matter how strong the trace of goodwill left by the Creator God is, it cannot contend with all the turbid energy. We just need to inject more turbid energy into his body to awaken his original source of turbid energy."
"I don't believe that our desires, formed from all kinds of malice and resentment, can't suppress that one bit of goodness. It is our strongest source of power. Only by controlling it can we use it to leave this hellish place."
The Sea of Dreams.
Ruan Xiyan lay on the comfortable grass with the young Junyu, occasionally telling him stories about their past experiences.
She could only tell him little by little, worried that filling his mind with too much information at once would backfire.
But even after so much time has passed, Ah Yu still doesn't remember her, nor does he recall what happened in the Demon Realm.
Suddenly, the grass beneath me began to shake violently.
Before Ruan Xiyan could react, she was pulled out of the sea of dreams.
She quickly looked in the direction of the young Jun Yu, who had been forcibly awakened by the turbid air mass.
Young Jun Yu looked at the murky clouds surrounding him and frowned, asking, "What do you want?"
“You’ve forgotten our hatred, we’ll help you remember.” Voices rose and fell around them.
Ignoring Jun Yu's struggles and resistance, the turbid air rushed into his body, forcing him to float in mid-air with his feet off the ground, enduring the influx of the turbid air.
"Ah Yu!" Ruan Xiyan stepped forward, but still passed right through his body, unable to touch him.
"Why would you rather stay in this dark and gloomy place and cooperate with us to see the outside world?"
“I know your plans. You are people who are not accepted by the world. You want to escape from here and harm the world. I will not let you have your way,” the young Jun Yu said, word by word.
“We are the same kind of beings. What’s the use of protecting those humans who have never seen you and who would only fear you even if they did? We were originally part of the Creator God. He created us and then abandoned us.”
“We are all beings who have been wronged and hated. The world has wronged us, and the whole world is our place! It is only because of a trace of kindness left in you by the Creator that you have become so fussy and indecisive.”
"The Creator God is truly cunning. Even though he suppressed us within the boundary marker, he didn't forget to leave a backup plan. Your current lack of unity with us has nothing to do with it."
"Once you completely extinguish that last bit of kindness within you, you will understand our good intentions and our hatred. You will stand with us and become the strongest being in the world. All those who have wronged us will pay the price!"
"I am not the same kind of person as you!" As soon as the young Jun Yu finished speaking, he let out a painful roar.
"That's not up to you. We know that as the source of turbid energy, your power far surpasses ours. But when we turbid energy want to deal with someone, we never look at the strength of their power, but rather at the weaknesses deep in their heart."
“Your will is very strong, but precisely because of this, your greed and fear are stronger than those of ordinary people. You have forgotten some things, so let us help you remember them.”
A cloud of turbid air entered the space between the eyebrows of the young Junyu.
"It's the woman from my dream," the young Jun Yu murmured.
"She brought you back to the Demon Realm, but she ignored you, leaving you to watch her and Cang Jun spend their days together in solitude. You were always afraid in your heart, afraid that you would be abandoned again."
"No matter how afraid you are, she will eventually leave you. The creator god abandons you, and she abandons you too. No one has ever chosen you; everyone has abandoned you. From beginning to end, you are the one who is abandoned."
"Stop suppressing yourself. Once you become the strongest being in the world, you can easily get whatever you want. No one will dare to disobey you, and no one will abandon you."
The turbid aura surrounding the young Junyu grew increasingly thick, and the light in his eyes slowly lost its color, leaving only a deathly silence.
The boyishness in him was gone, and he had reverted to his adult appearance, his face full of coldness.
"Destruction! Only destruction is eternal!" Jun Yu slowly raised his hand, and the turbid energy within his body erupted. The surrounding turbid energy surged wildly towards him, forming a dark, swirling storm around him.
"Success! This is the true Son of Turbid Qi, our king!" Turbid Qi raged and danced in the air, resembling an apocalyptic scene.
Suddenly, a seven-colored ray of light spread out from Ruan Xiyan, dispelling the surrounding darkness and turbidity.
