Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

"I don't need to give birth to expel the excess extraordinary characteristics in my body yet."

"And angels don't need to reproduce to eliminate superfluous traits."

Klein felt a little uneasy when he was looked at by Lin Nuo's direct gaze.

He suddenly had the illusion that the guy in front of him would knock him out and then take him away for breeding.

This horrifying speculation made Klein step back repeatedly. He was in no mood to take care of the business of the street girls, let alone being knocked unconscious and dragged away.

You...if you were a little worse, or a little better, it would be a relief.

"You know the Rose School, right?"

Lin Nuo's eyes regained their calmness.

"You want to help Ms. Sharon's temperance faction to counterattack the Rose School's indulgence faction?"

Klein secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lin Nuo return to normal. These guys who had become gods were too terrifying. Klein was worried that the terrifying divinity of the gods was about to erupt. He had just experienced the burden of divinity that angels had to bear. Who knew how terrifying the burden that Sequence 0 had to bear was?

“Criminals and prisoners belong to the path of desire.”

"The supreme being above these two paths is the Mother Tree of Desire that you know."

"This Outer God, who symbolizes desire, cannot come in and reclaim the Second Path of Desire due to the Earth's barrier. However, He can use the special nature of the Path of Desire to affect the Beyonders of the two Paths, causing an impact similar to that of the Abraham Bloodline Curse. The higher the Sequence, the greater the impact."

"In order to adapt to this influence, the Rose School gradually split into two branches. One is the temperance branch. Since the Outer God symbolizes desire and is good at arousing the deepest desires in people's hearts, He uses desire to exert influence across the screen of the Earth. Therefore, consciously restraining one's own desires can naturally offset the influence of the superior in this way."

"After the Mother Tree of Desire captured the Bound God, the 'Son of God' Sua was born, and the Rose School gradually set off another way of adaptation that was more primitive, more instinctive, and closer to desire itself, which was to indulge desire."

"The Beyonders of the Temperance Faction have always suppressed their own strength and advocated a life of austerity and asceticism. They restrain their desires, which are like active volcanoes. Once they erupt, they will do bold things that were previously unimaginable. The string called reason will break in an instant, and the suppressed desires must be sufficiently released in a short period of time."

"Therefore, every full moon, when the Outer Gods have the strongest influence on the Earth, the members of the Temperance Faction almost lose all their fighting power in order to prevent the volcano in their hearts from being ignited by desire and erupting completely out of control. This is the price that must be paid for choosing a path."

"The hedonists often indulge their desires. They allow their desires to rise at all times, and they are always able to gain strength due to their strong desires. They will not suppress themselves, and will vent their desires before they reach a certain threshold, so as not to let their desires expand to the point of burning themselves."

"The consequence of doing so is that they will gradually become slaves to desire and will be more susceptible to the influence of the Mother Goddess of Desire."

Lin Nuo dragged out the Mother Tree of Desire, the "source of all evil," and analyzed the current situation of the Rose School to Klein.

The corners of Klein's mouth twitched when he heard that the problem faced by the Rose School was actually a curse from the top of the sequence.

Whether it is restraining desires or indulging desires, it sounds like there are traps.

Indulgence in desires will make you a slave to desires.

Once the power of restraining desire is broken, there will be a period of the most powerful and at the same time the weakest outbreak.

If the desire cannot be controlled after the outbreak, the restrained faction will degenerate faster and more thoroughly than the indulgent faction.

"Is it not possible to be both restrained and indulgent, absorbing the advantages of both factions?"

“Control your desires and don’t let the desires you indulge go beyond the limit; indulge your desires and don’t let the desires you control go beyond the limit.”

Klein couldn't help but laugh as he spoke. What kind of new-age combination of work and rest is this?

Lin Nuo glanced at Klein and said calmly:

"cannot!"

Uh...Klein was choked by Lin Nuo's merciless words.

He thought for a moment before saying:

“Is it because of factions?”

"Either choose the temperance faction, or choose the indulgence faction, or choose to be targeted by both factions?"

Klein felt that this reason was not a big deal.

If Lin Nuo wants to destroy the Indulgence faction, then wouldn't it be better to reform the Temperance faction afterwards and neutralize the advantages of the two factions?

“It’s not because of this reason.”

"The problem still lies with the Mother Tree of Desire."

Lin Nuo shook his head. He had the same idea before, but gave it up later.

Moderates are more likely to get out of control than moderates or liberals.

"why?"

Klein was puzzled. What was wrong with combining work and rest to deal with the desires stimulated by the Mother Tree of Desire?

"Because the Mother Tree of Desire does not represent the indulgence of desires."

"The Mother Tree of Desire symbolizes the existence of desire itself."

Lin Nuo helped Klein correct a misunderstanding he had about the past.

There was no good or bad in the old days.

Can primordial hunger be described as good or hungry?

He symbolizes a big mouth that is never full.

The Old Days symbolize certain rules of the universe. It is wrong to view the Old Days with human good and evil or logic.

"Desire...itself?"

Klein's eyelids twitched slightly, and he vaguely thought of a not-so-pleasant answer.

"That's right. The Mother Tree of Desire is desire itself. Its authority can arouse the desires of living beings, but it does not symbolize that living beings should indulge or control their desires. What the Mother Tree of Desire does is to arouse desires. It can amplify desires. After desires are amplified, it is human nature for humans to be unable to control their desires and choose to indulge them. This does not mean that the Mother Tree of Desire likes to indulge desires."

"In fact, the Mother Tree of Desire is an Outer God who is very sharp and decisive in her overall perspective. She may appear confused, contradictory, or anxious in her handling of details due to her old nature, but in terms of the overall layout, this Outer God who symbolizes desire and looks down on the Earth from outside the Earth is quite wise and rational."

"The Mother Tree of Desire is a symbol of desire. It is comprehensive. It can be indulgent or restrained, but it is not limited to indulgence or restraint."

"So, whether it's the temperance faction or the indulgence faction, as long as they go to extremes, they will inevitably conflict with the symbols of the Outer Gods. This is why both the indulgence faction and the temperance faction of the Rose School can have demigods, saints, and angels. Even the Blood Admiral who indulged in desires was still able to safely become a Sequence 5 Beyonder, and did not lose control and become a monster like the Beyonders who failed to be promoted."

"But what about the middle faction?"

"He indulges in desires only to exercise moderation, and exercises moderation in desires only to indulge."

"He treats desire as a toy, and he has a deeper understanding of the nature of desire."

"Then he shall die."

"Because he will be closer in spirit to the great, essential mother tree of desire."

As Lin Nuo spoke, he glanced at Klein meaningfully.

Klein almost burst into swearing when he heard such an outrageous reason!

What kind of a lousy excuse is this? Is it worse to understand desire than to indulge it?

Would being a human being who has complete control over his or her own desires bring you closer to the mother tree that symbolizes desire?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Klein was silent for a moment. He felt the strong malice in this world.

"You're right."

"Combining the essence of the temperance faction and the indulgence faction can get to the essence of the path of desire."

"But you dare to point out the essence of desire. What do you want to do next?"

"Could it be that we are in tune with the essence of desire, understanding each other, spiritual love, soul mates?"

Lin Nuo looked at Klein's eyes, which had lost some of their luster, and said.

He used to think that the people of the Rose School were fools. Why did they indulge themselves or exercise restraint blindly? Couldn't they correctly see their own desires?

Lin Nuo only understood later that he actually wanted the Rose School to understand desire, the nature of desire, and the Mother Tree of Desire...

This is a world where knowledge is toxic.

You seek the Tao and find it in the Mother Tree. You realize the Tao, you resonate with the Tao, and see a corner of the Mother Tree's body...

The Mother Tree of Desire is a great existence that can equally influence every extraordinary person in the Criminal Path and Prisoner Path.

This effect is greater for the presence of high sequences and less for the presence of low sequences.

However, the influence of the Mother Tree of Desire on the interior of the Earth's barrier is so great that the puppets created with His grace can cause a Sequence Three Vampire Marquis to undergo a horrific mutation.

The Mother Tree of Desire will probably easily pay attention to the emerging "outstanding talent" who is not bound by the desires in his heart, but moves forward step by step along the two paths of desire, gradually transforming into the desire itself.

Such a "favored one" should naturally receive more attention and love from the mother tree.

It’s just that the love of the Mother Tree of Desire is a little heavy for humans.

"You can only go to extremes?"

Klein looked at Lin Nuo and asked with some difficulty accepting it.

Once again, he witnessed the chaos and distortion of this world.

"You can only go to extremes. Great beings above the sequence cannot easily..."

"No... it should be said that it is so extreme that it is incompatible with the great existence that symbolizes the essence."

Lin Nuo felt a little arrogant halfway through his speech, so he changed his words.

The normal way of thinking is probably the latter. As long as I am narrow-minded enough and extreme enough, no one can easily influence my distorted and extreme self. Even if someone wants to cover me with the most essential symbols, my extreme part will create certain obstacles to various coverages.

Magnify the human nature through extremes, and enhance the resilience of human nature through extremes.

Fight the madness of God through the madness of humanity.

Chapter 575: The Dominance of the Past

What you wanted to say just now was that as long as you are more extreme than the past, the past will be distorted by you in the opposite direction, right?

You definitely wanted to say that, didn't you?

Klein felt a little numb.

Are you really a native of Earth?

Are they the five-good young people who have developed well-rounded moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor qualities after more than ten years of schooling?

Klein now has doubts about Lin Nuo's identity before he traveled through time. Wasn't it that the emperor who led the Industrial Revolution, launched the Age of Discovery, and the Age of Colonization had not gone so far as to want to use human souls to pollute the past?

What on earth did this guy do before he traveled through time? How dare he think so?

"We are pitiful. Human beings are fragile. Our inherent deficiencies determine our different paths."

"Madness is the underlying color of the world. A person at Sequence 0 only needs to be cautious, while a person above the Sequence can approach everything they want to know without restraint."

"And the beings below the level of the True God, even the angels, cannot avoid a problem. We are moving towards greatness, we are approaching greatness, we are trying to understand greatness, but our beings are not high enough to face greatness directly. The gods of Sequence 0 can easily appreciate the ultimate beauty of the Goddess of Beauty. Ordinary people will be shocked to death by the ultimate charm even if they just see the back of the Goddess of Beauty."

"How can a Sequence 3 or 4 Saint avoid being captured after sensing the aura of the Goddess of Beauty?"

"We only allow ourselves to go to extremes, extreme aesthetics, and have a strongly biased sexual orientation. We may only like the broad mind of the goddess of beauty. However, when we see the goddess of beauty's back that is so beautiful that it is heartbreaking, even if she is so beautiful that it is suffocating, this is not what we want to see most, so we will hesitate and waver, and we will feel something unnatural when we are about to sink into the charm of the goddess of beauty."

"With the status of a Sequence 3, coupled with the unnaturalness that comes from instinct, and the fact that we haven't faced and fully seen the charm of the goddess of beauty, we are able to resist that kind of extreme beauty that can make people fall."

Lin Nuo used the "Goddess of Beauty" as an example to Klein.

What he said was very clear: Person, Person, and Person. If the Person is not enough, nothing you say will be of any use.

If your starting position is too low, then just follow the path of your predecessors. Don't think about trying blindly on your own. You don't have the capital and the ability to resist risks. If you can't help but look at the foggy place for a few more times, two nosebleeds will drain all the blood in your body.

"Pfft~"

Lin Nuo's inappropriate metaphor successfully amused Klein.

Klein was very happy in his heart, but he held it back. The angel-level faceless man was very good at controlling his emotions.

Klein almost understood Lin Nuo's logic.

If your aesthetic taste is too comprehensive, you will be directly fascinated by a single glance.

The aesthetics are extremely extreme. A leg control person will not kneel down for a second even if he sees a perfect hand shape.

"Haven't you ever thought about a question?"

"Extremeness can also lead to problems, right? If a leg control person sees not the back but the thighs, then wouldn't this leg control person also be without any resistance and sink to the ground, right?"

"And the aesthetic is too extreme. This means that if a leg-control person really encounters beautiful legs, it would be even more unbearable than a person with perfect aesthetics encountering a beautiful woman, right?"

Klein considerately helped Lin Nuo patch it up.

Lin Nuo glanced at Klein and said:

"Extreme aesthetics, self-castration, is it just for the sake of looking at beauty?"
