Chapter 1113: I’m Reborn. I’m The End Of All Things
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Isn’t that… normal?”
Jiang Hao heard the man from the Clear Sky School ask calmly.
He had not expected that the core person from The End of All Things to be from the Clear Sky School.
He might have been around when Gu Jin was still in this world.
Jiang Hao wondered what this person’s name was.
Jiang Hao did not appraise anyone in the area. It was better to wait and watch.
“The myriad beings appear to be equal, but how can they be truly equal?” asked the senior from the Clear Sky School. “The human heart is restless, none are saints. Each has their own destiny. If everyone leads the same life, perhaps then everyone can be on equal footing. In that case, there would be no order in this world. It still wouldn’t be like the world you desire. Every living being has desire and ambition. We cultivators wish for strength and a long life. We try to prevent as many disasters as is in our capabilities. But that doesn’t guarantee everyone’s safety. The immortal sects can’t make people take a certain path. It can only guide them. Even the Human Emperor can’t do those things. Do you think that every disaster is because of the immortal sect’s inaction? Is that why you joined The End of All Things?”
The core person of The End of All Things shook his head slightly and smiled. “Why would I blame the immortal sects? If I had acted back then, I could have done something. I would have had some hope of changing things. But I didn’t do anything. Afterward, I continued on my path and cultivated my Dao. I set out from the East, traveled by foot, and crossed mountains. Slowly, I began to understand the vast land and the beings living within it. I walked from the East to the West and spent two hundred years trying to understand everything. During these two hundred years, I talked with countless people. They talked like they had freedom but were actually in chains. For a moment, I thought I understood.”
“What did you understand?” Hu Yuexin asked.
Jiang Hao was also curious.
This person looked quite normal. When had he changed like this?
People had their own ideas. Some people might not agree with others and their ideas, but that does not mean they cannot accept the good things that come their way.
Even so, destroying the world and everything within was a tad too extreme.
This kind of person was too dangerous. He was not to be trifled with.
“It is impossible for people to be treated with equality. It’s precisely because people’s motivation is to rise above others. Where there are people, there are bound to be envy and comparisons. Then, social classes are created. It cannot change. The poor suffer, but they still have to survive. Those who are higher up on the social ladder will go to any extent to keep their status and position. Everyone wants a better life. Some don’t have the luxury. They only go through hardship in life without knowing what happiness and peace feel like. For them, the happiest they can be is when the oppressors don’t come for their crops. So many people are poor. They suffer every day. When I saw them, I understood their logic.”
“What logic?” asked the senior from the Clear Sky School.
“None of them are wrong,” said the figure in the center. “Be it the evil or the good in the world. They are all like the immortal or the demonic sects. Everyone walks their own path. After all, everyone thinks whatever they are doing is to survive. So, it’s not wrong. That is human instinct. Good and evil is subjective. Some groups of people think that a certain thing is evil, but that might seem good for other groups of people. People pray and steal from the weak but try to make a good life for their families with the things they steal. How could that be wrong? For the weak, the person is evil. But for the person’s family, the person will be the best in the world.”
Jiang Hao nodded.
This person had seen a lot and understood a lot of things.
“Just because no one is wrong, you joined The End of All Things?” asked the senior from the Clear Sky School.
From his point of view, it was not reason enough to join such an organization.
“There was another problem,” said the core person of The End of All Things. “Since everyone is right in their own way, what was the point of it all? I felt uneasy. What was wrong, and what was right, if everything was subjective? To find an answer to that, I traveled to the South. In the south, I obtained a fortuitous encounter and gained enlightenment of the Great Dao. It was at that time that I received the final answer. After that, I began to pursue The End of All Things.”
“What was the answer that you found?” Hu Yuexin asked.
Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought.
He had a guess about what the answer could be.
“There is nothing wrong with humans, and there is nothing wrong with how they think. Then, what is considered wrong?” said the person from The End of All Things. “The fault lies with this world. It’s the world’s fault. The End of All Things is targeted in this world. If there is no world that exists, everything will return to tranquility. That’s why I joined The End of All Things. In my opinion, there are two kinds of people in this world. One is the sinner. They oppress and wreak havoc. The others are caught in the crossfire and suffer. That is how most people can be categorized in this world. What I want to do is to leave only one kind of person in this world. That’s the second type, the miserable ones who are in pain.”
“You want to kill the first type of people?” asked the senior from the Clear Sky School.
The person shook his head. “Killing is not our goal. It is merely a means to achieve our goal. What we need to do is end all things in the world. That way, everything and everyone will be equal.”
At that moment, the person looked at everyone.
His lips moved slightly, and his indifferent voice rang in all directions.
“When I was young, I slandered The End of All Things. When I grew up, I understood them. When I was comprehending the Dao, I pursued The End of All Things. When I grew old, I was unable to break through because of my mental state and died at the hands of an expert. At that time, When I was old, I was unable to break through due to my mental state and died at the hands of an unparalleled expert. At that time, I looked to The End of All Things to recover my mental state. Now, I’m reborn. I’m The End of All Things.”
A vast aura surged, and the ground trembled.
“Nonsense! This is nonsense!” said the old man from the Clear Sky School.
“Why so? Right and wrong in this world is subjective. It’s a matter of how you think. It has nothing to do with what might be actually right and wrong. You said it yourself that time. No matter how much one tries, they can’t be equal. Isn’t that normal? Everyone walks their own path. I walk the path of The End of All Things. You walk the path of survival.”
The senior of the Clear Sky School fell silent.
For a moment, he was unable to refute.
The last thing he could do was to use his strength to defeat this person.
Jiang Hao lowered his head in thought. He could understand the other party’s theories. But none of that matters. What caught his attention was the fact that this expert had died at the hands of Gu Jin when he was unable to break through.
Did that mean he had broken through to higher realms after that?
How powerful was this person exactly?
