What kind of evil method is this? This is the righteous method..

Chapter 377 Return to Nothingness: Fellow Daoist, have you considered that your thoughts have changed?

At the age of thirteen, Chen Yi entered the stage of apprenticeship.

The Taoist life is very peaceful and harmonious.

However, the battle between the demonic path and the immortal alliance was so fierce that the heavens and earth trembled, and they fought to the death.

Watching countless cultivators die in this war between immortals and demons, Lin Fan sighed inwardly. No matter where you are, the bloodshed of struggle can never be eliminated.

He traveled to various small worlds to slay demons and eliminate evil people, but could he really make those worlds more friendly?

Obviously not.

Evil people will never disappear. As long as people have emotions and desires, and are greedy, evil people will continue to appear.

“Fellow Daoist, the cultivation world of the Origin Realm is currently suffering immense devastation, with countless lives lost. Do you intend to intervene?” Gui Wu asked.

Lin Fan shook his head. "How can we intervene?"

“Amitabha.” Gui Wukou chanted the Buddha’s name. “Back then, our level of understanding was too low and our vision too narrow. We couldn’t bear to see the suffering of living beings. But now, with countless deaths and injuries in the struggle, we are like the high-ranking onlookers we once were, witnessing the tragedy before our eyes without any emotion.”

"Fellow Daoist, do you think what we did back then was right, or has our mindset undergone a complete transformation as our cultivation has increased, like that high and mighty being who witnessed it firsthand and always felt that it was destiny, unstoppable?"

Gui Wu looked at Xuan Dian and asked softly.

As soon as these words came out.

Lin Fan trembled, his heart pounding. He then met the master's gaze, both of them calm and unwavering.

"Master, do you mean that the path I've been on is actually wrong?" Lin Fan asked.

Guiwu shook his head and said, "There is no right or wrong in cultivation. Every path can be said to be correct, but it can also be said to be wrong. As for the true right and wrong, you should ask your own heart why you are cultivating and why you have come this far."

The master's words were like thunder in his ears, making Lin Fan's heart pound.

Ask your own heart.

Why practice spiritual cultivation?

Why have we come to this point?

In an instant, Lin Fan's thoughts returned to the Chaotian Taoist Temple, and all sorts of experiences came to mind. Why did he go down the mountain? It was because he saw that the world was turbid and demons were in power.

He cultivates Taoist arts in order to slay demons and monsters and restore peace and order to the world.

When they encounter injustice, they pick up their axes and chop down the injustices, saving people from suffering.

At the same time, they encounter righteous cultivators who, despite knowing their own shallow cultivation, still dare to fight against evil demons and monsters, even at the cost of their own lives.

He would generously impart his knowledge of magic to the other party.

The hope is that the other party will improve their cultivation so that they will be able to protect themselves when facing evil spirits and demons in the future.

Gui Wu pointed at the screen and said, "Fellow Daoist, look, the war between immortals and demons may seem to consist only of fighting and killing, but it also reveals a great deal of human emotion. Senior brothers dying for their junior brothers and the grief of losing loved ones—aren't these things we never wanted to see before?"

The words spoken by Master Guiwu lingered in Lin Fan's mind, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

Throughout his journey, Lin Fan has never considered that he has taken the wrong path, nor has he ever imagined that his mindset has changed in any way.

But now.

The master's words, however, completely awakened him.

Since creating the Origin Realm, his mind has been focused on making the Origin Realm grow stronger, constantly producing chosen ones who will gain special powers and eventually have the ability to contend with the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao.

"Master, in your heart, what do you think my original thoughts were?" Lin Fan asked.

Gui Wu remained silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Fellow Daoist asked me, so I will share my opinion. In my view, what you hoped for back then was peace in the world, the absence of evil people, and the preservation of truth, goodness, and beauty among people."

"But this humble monk felt that this was unrealistic. However, as your cultivation has become more profound, and you have created the Origin Realm and established the Six Paths of Reincarnation, this humble monk suddenly realized that what you are thinking might be possible." "But then this humble monk discovered that you seem not to have thought of this."

"The appearance of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao must have brought you immense pressure."

I heard what the master said.

Lin Fan stood there, stunned.

Yes.

When did I change my mind? When did I ever stand by and watch the beings of the Origin Realm I created fight each other without doing anything, thinking that a great event would happen, that heaven and earth would give birth to a chosen one, and thus change everything?

Think of this.

Lin Fan waved his hand, and time in the Origin Realm stopped flowing, imprisoning everything.

And right now.

The void rippled slightly, and the will of the Origin Realm appeared; it was a spherical mist.

Lin Fan looked at the will of the Origin Realm, "What are you doing here?"

The voice of will was devoid of any emotion. "Master Xuan Dian, you created the Origin Realm, and I am the will formed from the Origin Realm. The Origin Realm needs to advance. Why are you interfering with its development? The war between immortals and demons will be the opportunity for the fourth Chosen One to grow. You should not stop it."

"No, I have thought about it. Why shouldn't I intervene? What is the purpose of my gathering the Origin Realm? It is to fulfill what I desire. If I let it go unchecked, wouldn't I end up like the Yin-Yang Heavenly Dao?" Lin Fan said.

At this point, Lin Fan suddenly understood, and a bright idea appeared in his mind.

The will said, "No, you can't do that. I am the will of all living beings in the Origin Realm, and I should follow the workings of heaven and earth. You cannot forcibly interfere."

"Hahaha." Lin Fan laughed, looked at the will, and said, "Don't forget, you were created by me, not something that appeared out of thin air. I intervened from the very beginning. Also, only I can control my world, and you cannot control my will."

Boom!

A violent roar resounded.

Lin Fan frowned and sighed softly, "It seems that it has no will to have emotions and desires, but in fact it can also get angry. Anger means that it has emotions and desires. I was indeed too naive and thought too idealistically."

He slowly raised his hand, and an irresistible force erupted, with his will flying uncontrollably into his palm.

At that moment, he felt a sense of unease and fear.

He just didn't extinguish his will immediately.

Instead, he gazed at the will struggling in his palm, seemingly pondering what to do.

Erasing his will means that the will of the Origin Realm will completely dissipate, and from now on, he will become the will of the Origin Realm, with countless pieces of information flooding into his mind immediately.

The prayer of living beings.

The oath of living beings.

All living beings... and everything else will be under his control.

The birth and death of the Origin Realm will be in his hands. Even the slightest wrong choice in the future could lead to the Origin Realm falling into an abyss of no return.

If entrusted to will, at least the progress of the source realm can be guaranteed.

boom!
After considering all these possibilities, Lin Fan decisively shattered his will and absorbed it into his body.

“Master, I know what to do,” Lin Fan said.

"Amitabha."

Guiwu was unaware of the ultimate impact his words would have on his fellow Daoists; he was merely expressing his thoughts.
