A King Summoner Travels Through the World of Ye Luoli

“殛”.

In the instant Chang Li was distracted, Lu Zhaoran's figure appeared before him like a ghost.

By the time he came to his senses, Lu Zhaoran had already grabbed his neck.

Chang Li looked into Lu Zhaoran's eyes, and his figure was reflected in those deep eyes. He could see all human emotions in those eyes: joy, anger, sorrow, resentment, hatred, and infatuation.

At that moment, he knew she resented him, and she wanted to... kill him.

Ha ha……

A tear fell onto Lu Zhaoran's hand, and upon landing, it transformed into a crystal-clear pearl.

These were Chang Li's tears. He was completely awake now, he should have been awake long ago. It wasn't her... it wasn't her...

It is said that ancient wells are still, let alone the dry well he was guarding.

There is truly no trace of her in this world anymore. If we're talking about replacements, even the system is probably more like her than Lu Zhaoran.

Lu Zhaoran may seem indifferent, aloof, and ruthless, but once you peel back the outer layer, you'll find out how passionate her life is. Even when the clouds are dark, they can't dim her brilliance. She is not a still well, nor is she a lifeless, dry well. She is the sea, a vast and magnificent sea.

After that tear fell to the ground, Changli seemed to have lost her soul, offering no resistance and letting Lu Zhaoran decide her life or death.

At this moment, Lu Zhaoran was surrounded by wisps of black energy, and several phantom figures flashed by. They were like the souls of the dead in hell, attracted by an inexplicable force. Just as they were about to seize the opportunity to escape hell, they were pushed back. Hatred, anger, resentment... The souls of the dead went back, but all the negative emotions related to humans that they carried remained on their bodies.

"Summoner..."

Seeing this scene, Shao Siyuan had a bad feeling. She was about to step forward when Da Siming stopped her.

"Disrupting life and death, causing an imbalance of yin and yang, the place she stands now is both the human world and hell."

Upon hearing this, Shao Siyuan's pupils constricted sharply, and he murmured, "The Yin and Yang realms overlap... how is this possible..."

"There are rumors in the world that there is a method of summoning souls and shaping bodies in the Swamp of Forgetfulness. Once successful, it is tantamount to reversing yin and yang, bringing the dead back to life, and bringing wandering souls back to the world. But legends are just legends. Whether they are true or false, no one knows. And the consequences for those who use this method are unpredictable."

"Where did the summoner learn this method?"

Upon hearing Shao Siyuan's question, Da Simingqi pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment before stiffly saying, "She... learned it from me."

"What! How could you teach her such a dangerous spell!"

Shao Siyuan was stunned for a moment, then anger rose in her heart.

Good lad! No wonder you know so much about this, and you even stammered when you spoke. So that's what you taught me!

“She formed a pact with me, and she wanted to learn the spells I knew. I had no right to stop her. She was exceptionally intelligent, and in just a few short years, she mastered all the spells I knew.”

Qi sighed helplessly.

During those years in the other world, he never imagined she would grow up so quickly.

He had previously said that Lu Zhaoran was not suitable to be the God of Fate. People who cannot let go of their obsessions are destined to be estranged from the laws of the world. People with attachments and restless minds cannot grasp the laws of life and death.

But... who could have imagined that Lu Zhaoran would be so stubborn? She insisted on learning even when she was told not to... and she broke this rigid rule all by herself.

"Why are you learning this kind of magic?"

"Exactly, exactly. What kind of respectable family would learn such a vicious spell from a high-ranking official?"

Shao Siyuan, hands on her hips, questioned him, while Xiao Hong, who was floating nearby, chimed in, enjoying the spectacle.

Qi did not answer their questions, but instead gripped the divine spear even tighter.

……

'Grandma, where do people go after they die?'

'After death, people go to the Swamp of Forgetfulness, the place where all life returns.'

What will happen to those who didn't go to the Swamp of Forgetfulness, those who didn't return?

'They will transform into vengeful ghosts, roaming the roads day and night, attacking passersby.'

"So, Xiao Qi, if you play outside for too long, remember to come home, don't be like your dad and mom. Grandma will always be waiting for you at home."

……

'Xiao Qi, Grandma said she'll always wait for you to come back.'

……

"Xiao Qi, don't be sad. There's always a road ahead, and no one is incapable of walking it."

grandmother……

The first evil spirit he slew... was his grandmother.

'The God of Fate cannot be moved by emotions.'

This was his master's admonition to him, but later... his master also became an evil spirit due to his feelings and obsessions.

It turns out that even the master who always said "don't be moved by emotions" had his own deep-seated obsessions.

And... what about him...?

Qi looked up at Lu Zhaoran.

Looking at Lu Zhaoran, who was surrounded by black energy.

In that instant, in that very instant, it was as if something in his mind had been shattered. He felt both confused and clear-headed, a contradictory feeling that he couldn't quite explain.

"Ah……"

"What are you laughing at? Be serious, this is a very serious problem!"

Zhu Yuan frowned as she looked at Qi, who chuckled inexplicably. She didn't understand what he was laughing at.

Qi patted Zhu Yuan reassuringly, then touched the mask on his own face.

Perhaps he misjudged the situation from the very beginning.

The person most suited to be the Grand Master of Fate in this world is not someone like him.

Rather, it's someone like Lu Zhaoran.

What is heartlessness, and what is affection?

If you were to choose between a ruthless and wicked person who commits murder, robbery, and all sorts of evil deeds, and a kind and compassionate person who is impartial and compassionate and helps everyone, who would you choose as your successor?

The greatest evil is ruthless and driven by selfish desires. If one acts solely according to one's own will without any moral compass, allowing them to wield greater power will only bring disaster. The greatest good is compassionate. As the saying goes, those who are good at sacrificing themselves are even better at sacrificing others. Human nature is flexible. Allowing them to hold power, and their pursuit of a world where everything is good, forces human nature to become inflexible. Such a world would be like a stagnant pool.

Instead...

Qi looked at Lu Zhaoran and made up her mind.

Lu Zhaoran cannot be defined by the traditional concepts of good and evil. She has saved people and killed people. She will expend energy to pray for some unfamiliar beings, and she will also ruthlessly kill some beings. She acts quickly and uses ruthless methods.

She has her own judgment of right and wrong, good and evil, which will not be changed by external forces. When doing good deeds, she only sacrifices herself and not others.

Just like now, when she was furious, her power leaked out, but the only person she injured was Changli. And when she wanted to save Wenxin, the only thing she had to sacrifice was herself. In fact, the more people died and were injured, the better the effect of this method. It was called resurrection, but in essence it was just a life-for-life sacrifice. She fixed the black energy around her body, and the sacrifice was herself.

She could be called kind, but her ruthless methods were anything but kind; yet she never harmed any innocent lives.

It is extremely contradictory that it cannot completely distinguish between good and evil.

"Hey, why did you take off your mask? Never mind, now's not the time to talk about that. You need to think of a way to save the summoner."

"Don't bother her. She has chosen herself as the safety net for every step she takes."
