Chapter 334 Good and Evil
When the enraged god raised his hand, a raging fire ignited by the clouds and wind seemed to engulf the entire world.
The scorching gale that came in an instant turned all the water vapor into steam. Large-scale crackling explosions resounded through the sky. As the Fire Phoenix Demon God cried excitedly, magma gushed out of the cracked ground.
The sharp flute sound also became murderous and stirring in an instant. The boy's figure seemed to turn into an afterimage. Wherever he passed, there were screams of burning to death in an instant. The next second, the scorching breath almost crushed the space, and the arrogant god appeared out of thin air in front of the Smiling Demon with contracted pupils.
"you!!--"
The light and shadow flickered into the twisted shape of a raging fire. Shen Qianluo's brocade clothes fluttered and his silver hair flew. The bamboo flute on his fingertips suddenly emitted an extreme green light, piercing the heart of the Smiling Demon at the moment when he was in a panic and couldn't mobilize the ancient runes.
With a "puff", splattered blood wet his cheek. His expression was solemn and slightly cold, but Shen Qianluo's face remained unchanged. The next second after he raised his wrist, the talisman that concealed the great way of heaven and earth rose around the boy's body.
"Where does this magic come from? Answer me truthfully."
"Young Master, do you think... ahem, there is a mastermind behind me?"
Coughing breathlessly, the Smiling Demon slowly curled the corners of his mouth. He seemed to want to provoke a frivolous and sarcastic smile, but in the end he lost his voice in the chill of the god's golden eyes.
The pressure was so strong that people could not help but tremble all over and kowtow in worship. The look of condescension was too cold, as if even if the whole world was destroyed with a wave of the hand, it would not move the gods in the slightest.
Obviously he is not tall, obviously he is still young, obviously he... is the "orthodoxy" that is loved by everyone, and the "heavenly principle" of all future beings...
"Yes... that's it..."
“Hahaha… That’s it…!! Shen Qianluo——”
The moment his chest was pierced, it seemed as if the flow of time slowed down, but the Laughing Demon still laughed in a hoarse voice. When he looked up again, he was face to face with the boy's face so delicate that there was not a single flaw to be found.
"Your forgiveness, your intolerance... Young Master, God... Your compassion that has nowhere to go... just comes from the teachings of your "mother"! !"
He twisted his face at the moment when the boy's expression froze, and crawled to his feet tremblingly. His voice was infinitely lowered, but it still revealed the gloom and temptation that could not be concealed, "Your mother taught you to respect your teachers and love your family, right?"
“Shen Qianluo, you shouldn’t stop here…!!!” The hand that grabbed the slender ankle was engulfed by flames the next moment. The man screamed sharply, and rolled on the ground while holding his burning hand tightly. His shrill laughter became crazier and sharper.
"Can gods forget their true nature?! Shen Qianluo! You have never been an orthodox god, and you know it very well! - You were born from the "evil" of all living beings! !"
“… Humph, nonsense!” When Shen Qianluo suddenly took a step forward and couldn’t wait to crush his soul before screaming, his eyeballs bulged and he laughed loudly, a ball of dark green hidden in the deepest part of his soul bursting out.
With a start in his heart and trembling fingertips, Shen Qianluo stepped back for a second and activated the bamboo flute. The strong light of resistance bloomed with a buzzing sound, but in the end his body shook, and he held his forehead with a light hum, and was suddenly enveloped by the rich dark green fragrance of divine power.
“This is… ow…!”
How can there be a power that transcends the nature of Heaven?
I clearly resisted in time, but the moment I was touched by this power, everything around me changed.
So strange... so familiar...
"Who is it! Come out!!"
Who is the person behind the scenes? Why does he know the absolute taboos of "Heaven's Law" and "Son of Heaven's Law"...
"Hahahaha!" The voice of the Laughing Demon God that remained in the dark green divine power was still extremely annoying.
"Shen Qianluo, you are the epitome of "evil"! You are obsessed with the control of power, and when you look down on all living beings, you can't hide the arrogance deep in your blood."
"I don't!…"
"You pity your so-called brothers and sisters only to realize the "goodness" that your mother taught you when she was still sane."
"Shut up..."
"You harvest the faith of all living beings, but you don't care about the survival of the human world at all. You just disguise yourself as a perfect god step by step--"
"No! This is not just what everyone wants to see..."
'Ah, my young master, you who are extremely evil do not need to be constrained by goodness. My target has always been you! Only you who bear His blood are worthy of the magic and status that He has bestowed upon me! ——'
The boy's posture of holding his forehead froze little by little, his breath was chaotic and painful, the pain from the tearing of his soul made him tremble, countless noisy and chaotic voices and memories intertwined and overlapped, the original "evil" was about to burst out of his control, almost driving the gods crazy.
“No!... Get out of here!... Who is hiding behind this! I will definitely kill you...!”
The increasingly sticky dark green divine power was like thousands of silver needles and small insects, wriggling and struggling to squeeze into the cracks in his soul. In a trance, he even saw that afternoon again through the broken water in his eyes.
"Mom, what does kindness look like? Luo can only see the evil of the world, but has never felt the existence of kindness."
"Kindness... is a very gentle feeling. Ah Luo, my child, you were born from the deepest "evil", but in the end, mother believes that you will find your own kindness."
"So, how should I find it?"
"Well... before that, let's learn how to "disguise" first."
"……camouflage?"
"Yes, it's a disguise. The most benevolent God is a cheerful, optimistic God who loves to laugh. He may be a little naughty and may like to play, but the essence of a kind God is love."
"like……"
"He will love the world, he will love his family, and he will love...those he loves."
"Mom, I don't understand..."
"It's okay. Before that, just learn to smile at everyone. Every smile of "evil" will eventually turn into "good" under your control. When "good" accumulates to a certain level and the two are balanced, Luo's soul will become stable and powerful."
"I understand... Luo wants to become a kind god! Incredibly powerful, and he has to love everyone!"
"But... my child, don't waste your hard-earned kindness for anything or anyone. Otherwise, the cracks in your soul will be irreparable... Slow down, let mommy hold you, okay?"
……
"It has been separated from the main body, good intention and evil intention."
"Huh? You said that we should bear the wear and tear of the long years for a mere rock demon from the world of Teyvat?"
"My pathetic good intentions... Do you know the price of this action?"
"Your soul will have an unhealable crack, and you will be split into two irreconcilable individuals. Even the divine power that you are so proud of will never be able to return to its peak."
"Do you know how heavy the price is? God is lonely, proud, conceited and omnipotent. Your enemies will be inspired by this, attacking and destroying your soul and your future... "
"even so……"
"Hmph... I understand."
