After arriving in the Underworld, everyone kept telling me how to protect myself. To survive here, one must have a heart that is hard enough.
Is constant killing and robbing other beings of their chances at survival really the only way to live?
Perhaps it really is like that...
Reflecting on my journey since accepting the mission and encountering the prisoner, I came to the Underworld as a timid and weak human. Step by step, I have grown, but each step of growth has come at the cost of another's life. If they do not die, then I will.
Especially after Yapu Teacher gave his life for my final lesson, is my heart still too soft? Is that why I am trapped here? Is that why I lost Silver Moon? Is that why I keep searching for him here?
No, Xi Meng, you are still not strong enough. Perhaps slaughter is your only way out!
For some reason, ever since entering the fourth palace, these thoughts have been swirling in my mind, as if a brutal factor has been unleashed within me, uncontrollably craving bloodshed; otherwise, certain scenes from the past keep replaying.
“Xi Meng, what's wrong with you?” White Soul asked when he noticed something was off with me.
“Nothing, we should be nearing the Fifth Layer,” I replied anxiously. It was time for me to take action; I wanted—slaughter.
No matter who the master of this Main Palace is, I want him dead!
“Wait a moment, Xi Meng, I feel like your emotions are very off right now.”
“No, no, let’s hurry!”
I could sense that my state was indeed very poor, like an addict's obsession with poppies, unable to control myself.
"No, Xi Meng, the master of this Lord's Hall is different from the one we encountered before." White Soul showed no intention of moving forward, standing still and staring at me.
"What’s different? We still have to defeat him like before to find Silver Moon. White Soul, let's go! I will definitely defeat him, I know it!"
"No, you can't touch her," White Soul said firmly.
"What are you talking about? Or do you not want me to save Silver Moon at all?!" I knew I was being unreasonable, but I couldn't help myself.
"Sigh, alright, Xi Meng, calm down and listen to me," White Soul sighed and slowly reached out to place a hand on my forehead.
In a low voice, he said, "Water Spell, Judgment Power: Restoration."
"Xi Meng, you need to calm down."
I took a deep breath, feeling significantly more relaxed.
"White Soul, it's strange; just now I really wanted to kill someone."
"I know. That is the aura emanating from this palace, enough to confuse people's hearts. Its purpose is to make you want to kill everything here. However, if you really do that, then we will have failed."
"I don't understand; I still don't get it."
"Alright, hold my hand. You cannot destroy anything here without my permission," White Soul said with a smile, seemingly amused by my bewildered expression.
"Okay."
"I'll take you to meet someone. She is trapped here, and soon you'll know the reason," White Soul said as he pulled me into the Fifth Layer without caring whether I understood or not.
……
Wow, this is completely different from what I saw before.
A beautiful, voluptuous woman sat in a field, dressed in a red long dress, her face radiating kindness. She resembled a legendary bodhisattva, exuding a sense of compassion. The contrast with the old man in the third palace was striking.
A flowing stream surrounded her, with fertile land and lush green hills. There were no animals that adhered to any food chain; everything that defied the laws of biology existed here as if it were perfectly natural.
"I must be seeing a fairy tale world," I said involuntarily.
"Hehe, now you understand why we can't disturb her," White Soul said.
At White Soul's words, my body trembled.
Such a beautiful scene was too peaceful, too unreal in its perfection, which always sparked a desire to destroy it.
Thinking of this, the Killing Intent that had been suppressed by White Soul seemed to start leaking out again, like a hungry wolf spotting its prey, that thirst for destruction. I wanted to consume everything here!
"No! No! No!" I suddenly felt scared at how bloodthirsty and cruel I had become.
"Xi Meng, relax," White Soul said as he hugged me, but it seemed ineffective.
"Queen, save her," White Soul called out to the woman.
Queen? Is she Silver Moon's mother?
The woman walked over leisurely, her loving smile unchanged and perfect. Yet, there was something missing; I couldn't quite put my finger on it.
"Child, it's okay, you won't hurt me." The woman's every word was smooth and clear.
Unfortunately, it was of no use; stay away from me, I can't control myself!
"Child, listen carefully, this is the most peaceful place in the Three Realms, where killing never exists. Everything you are showing comes from the Dark Aura deep within you, which is the Evil Desire that everyone possesses. Those are deep-seated sins; let me help you purge them, alright?"
Yes, yes, hurry up, I really can't hold on any longer!
However, there was another feeling strongly rejecting what this woman was saying, telling me not to listen to her.
Damn it, what should I do?!
I felt the woman's hand reaching towards me; suddenly, her gaze became sharp, and her hand pierced through!
It hurts!
Her hand actually penetrated my body!
What she grasped was—my Second Avatar's Nether Qi Inner Dan!
No, no, it will kill me!
