Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 1113 Facing the Past and Understanding Oneself
Then, Zhou Qing recommended a book to Bibi Dong: "The Love Between a Commoner and a Nobleman".

Bibi Dong took it and carefully read through it. She felt that the stories in it were indeed similar to her own experiences, but she didn't know why.

Until Zhou Qing uttered two words: obsession.

Suddenly.

Bibi Dong understood the key point.

I used to be obsessed with revenge and retribution, and the commoner woman in this book who was willing to become a degenerate in order to be with a nobleman was just like me.
There's nothing new under the sun.

Zhou Qing looked at Bibi Dong, "We don't know exactly what happened between you two, but we can guess a thing or two..."

If you truly want revenge, shouldn't you be constantly seeking ways to prevent this from happening again?

Bibi Dong felt that Zhou Qing had completely seen through her. After staring at him for a long time, she asked, "Isn't there any other way?"

"No."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "Unless you have the ability to destroy the entire world and prevent the birth of any more intelligent beings, or rather, beings with emotions and desires, all suffering will eventually manifest in a similar way, nothing more."

Alternatively, confront the past, face yourself squarely, and fight to the end against similar hardships and problems that may arise in the future, while constantly pushing the world and yourself forward in a spiral.
Or—

They destroy themselves, dying completely, their soul scattered, without even the chance of reincarnation, thus severing all ties with the world—a kind of alternative 'transcendence,' perhaps.

Bibi Dong clenched her fists.

For her, neither of these two paths would give her a sense of powerlessness, no matter which one she chose.

"Why is it spiraling forward?" Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong, feeling inexplicably moved, but her focus was different from Bibi Dong's.

"Times are constantly changing, and even we are not always entirely right. The trend of development will never be a smooth upward curve."

Zhou Qing said calmly, "We are aware of this. The spiral upward trend is theoretically the best development trend. If problems arise in the future, it may even show a wave-like trend of sliding up and down."

Seeing that Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong remained silent, Zhou Qing didn't rush to continue. Only when Qian Renxue was about to speak did he take the initiative to ask, "So, Miss Angel who has fallen to the mortal world, can you give an answer? Are you Xue Qinghe? Or Qian Renxue?"

Qian Renxue was taken aback and fell silent again.

"Come back, help me."

Bibi Dong spoke up, extending an invitation to Qian Renxue, "I will tell you about your grudge with your father, I swear."

Qian Renxue was surprised.

Bibi Dong, however, didn't seem to care. She simply stood up, bowed to Zhou Qing in a disciple's salute, and said, "Only by facing one's own heart can one become a true strongman..."

I've come to realize why, even though Xue'er and I understand the principles of cultivating aura power, we can never reach your level.

Aside from the fundamentals of cultivating soul power, the problem is that Xue'er and I have never truly looked into our own hearts. If you hadn't pointed it out today, we might still be walking down the wrong path.”

"Whoo~"

Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "It would be best if we could talk things through. I'm just afraid that I'd have to beat you into submission."

"I have one last question."

"Please say."

"Aren't you afraid that we will surpass you in the future by giving us such guidance?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Looks like you still don't fully understand my intention..."

Zhou Qing shook her head slightly, but also smiled, "So, in your opinion, does helping others necessarily have to be based on self-interest?"

Bibi Dong was stunned. She recalled that before that incident, when she traveled across the mainland, she had also fought against evil and helped the needy. It wasn't many times, but she was certain that when she helped the weak back then, it was never for any benefit, but from the bottom of her heart.

"Been taught a lesson."

Bibi Dong performed the disciple's salute again, and then led Qian Renxue away.

"Are you really just giving them pointers?"

After the two left, Romantina looked on with suspicion.

"Don't treat me like some cunning old fox, okay?"

Zhou Qing rolled his eyes, then spoke his true feelings, saying, "Wouldn't it be a pity if these two exceptionally talented individuals continued to drift aimlessly?"

Only by truly facing the past and thoroughly understanding oneself can one go further.

Only in this way can it be more pure.

Those who are purely virtuous are easy to deal with; in the future, they can be won over by their beliefs and then taught to serve the Red Society.

Romantina squinted: "That makes a lot of sense, but I really don't have any other intentions, like: mother and daughter flowers?"

"Your thoughts are too filthy."

Zhou Qing was speechless, but the fact that he dared to speak out could be considered proof that Romantina had a different kind of "sincerity". "In the future, the three realms, the Heavenly Court and the Underworld will inevitably need manpower to manage them. Angels and Rakshasa are the most suitable to be in charge. It just depends on whether they can face the past and recognize themselves."

the other side.

On the way back to the Spirit Empire, Qian Renxue repeatedly hesitated to speak until they reached Spirit City and the Papal Palace. Only then did Bibi Dong open her mouth and recount her past, in which she loved someone when she was young, but was stopped by the Pope, raped, and ultimately gave birth to her.

Upon hearing the truth, Qian Renxue could not believe it, her eyes trembling slightly. However, her years of experience in pretending had also given her a strong heart. She forced herself to accept this information and finally understood why her mother had always looked at her as a stranger, or even an enemy.

After all, he was not the offspring of his mother and lover, but a bastard child of a rapist!

No wonder I don't have much of a connection with my father...

No wonder I, a noble angel, am willing to abandon angelic pride and disguise myself as someone else...

In a flash, Qian Renxue thought about many things and asked Bibi Dong, "Then why did you suddenly change? Is it really because you learned the truth about the God Realm?"

"The main reason is that I was filled with resentment and became obsessed with the desire to take revenge on everything. It wasn't until I obtained the Rakshasa Dharma Body that my soul became clear."

Bibi Dong paused for a moment before continuing, "The Rakshasa Dharma Body is a part of the legacy left behind by the Rakshasa God in the outside world. The fact that we were able to obtain it is all thanks to Zhou Qing."

Having learned that the Rakshasa Dharma Body first appeared in the area of ​​Falling Star City, and that Zhou Qing had even secretly kept one, Qian Renxue pondered for a while before saying, "So, you should thank him?"

"We should thank him."

Bibi Dong corrected, "He wants to subdue us, but not for power or to satisfy some desire. He just feels that to complete the construction of his ideal world, he needs more talent, that's all."

Qian Renxue's face darkened, and she cursed, "That kid really didn't have good intentions!"

“You should thank him for reasoning with us. Otherwise, even if we all broke through level 100, we wouldn’t be a match for him.” Bibi Dong said, then added, “However, it’s not impossible to get revenge on him. Why don’t you sleep with him? I think he’s just pretending to be righteous.”

Qian Renxue stared at Bibi Dong for a long while before finally uttering a single word:

"roll!"

At this moment, Qian Renxue realized that facing her mother's past, she wasn't as serious as she had previously imagined...
