The Golden Elixir is A Star, and You Call This Cultivation?

Chapter 1459: Chapter 636: Grand Finale: The Path of Reincarnation_2

"Alas, I am still young and haven’t lived long enough to develop such profound thoughts and deep connotations as you have,"

Qi Yuan spoke truthfully.

Actually, he admired those who were open-minded, saw through the ways of the world, or had stepped out of their own selves.

"I resist the return to nothingness simply because... I am an ordinary person."

Even though he had begun the journey of immortal cultivation, Qi Yuan always felt like an ordinary person, lacking the demeanor of the powerful.

The battles between the strong often inadvertently affect an entire star system, causing the demise of countless living beings.

As for these powerful ones, they kill without batting an eye, without their eyes ever feeling sore.

Qi Yuan couldn’t do it, he liked to blink.

Every time he fought an enemy, he was also extremely careful, controlling his spiritual power to avoid harming the innocent.

He even went so far as to say that he wouldn’t carelessly kill a single ant.

Of course, the buzzing flies and mosquitoes near his ear were another story.

Therefore, Qi Yuan did not possess the mentality of a powerful being, and he always thought of himself as an ordinary person.

"It’s just that I am too soft-hearted,"

Qi Yuan sighed.

As for slaughtering someone’s whole family or annihilating a whole clan, that was not his fault.

Moreover, could these really be considered the same thing?

"I don’t want to see mortals struggling their whole lives just to get by.

I don’t want to see the benevolent dying from calamity.

I don’t want to see the lovable ones engulfed in adversity.

I don’t want to see the oppressors living too comfortably.

I don’t want to see the foul-mouthed enjoying a life of immorality.

I also don’t want to see the romantic ruined by betrayal, the infatuated dying from loyalty, the sincere being slandered... the eight sorrows of life, seeking but never obtaining."

There was just too much that Qi Yuan didn’t want to see.

Especially the foul-mouthed enjoying a life of immorality, Qi Yuan wasn’t articulate and had social anxiety. He never won online arguments.

If his quarreling skills improved, this passage would need to exclude the foul-mouthed.

Then he would have to support the foul-mouthed enjoying a life of immorality.

Qi Yuan was indeed a very complicated person.

Or it could be said, all creatures in this world are complicated.

Even the treacherous plotters have things they cherish.

The high and mighty who have made lasting contributions also have moral flaws.

Even saints... have desires.

So-called right and wrong... to some extent, are defined by people, or it depends on whose perspective you see it from.

Different angles yield different answers.

Of course, it’s also possible that it depends on who holds the power of discourse.

"I also don’t want to see an innocent ant crushed to death by my foot.

Now that I think about it, when I was thirteen, I accidentally spilled a cup of boiling water and killed three ants.

I was a minor, protected by the law for minors, not liable for legal responsibility.

Right, I also have a mental illness.

But... I feel so guilty; they were three ants, though just worker ants, busily dedicating their lives. From the perspective of us cultivators, perhaps I even helped them escape the sea of suffering.

But... I shouldn’t judge their ant lives, deciding their fate on a whim, even if... to most people, I might have meant well."

Do you understand?"

Qi Yuan looked at the Heavenly Emperor with genuine emotion.

The Heavenly Emperor leisurely picked up a cup of tea, taking a delicate sip.

"If it were in the past, I’d say you’re sick, being melodramatic, and childish. But now... good luck, Qi Yuan, and I, too, want to see... if your Path of Reincarnation... can really stand up to the return to nothingness."

"Why resist the return to nothingness? After all... am I not also part of that nothingness?" Qi Yuan took another sip of tea, "What did returning to nothingness do wrong, and why should we resist it?"

"...Returning to nothingness hasn’t done anything wrong," the Heavenly Emperor said, "In fact, it is this world’s... first being of six yang energies."

"Is that so?" Qi Yuan’s expression remained calm, and he drained the cup of tea, "The tea is finished, and so I must leave. I haven’t finished the game yet; I’m quite busy. Next time... I’ll come back to have tea with you."

Having said this, Qi Yuan’s figure disappeared from sight.

On Origin Mountain, the Heavenly Emperor continued sipping tea slowly, as if Qi Yuan had never appeared.

...

"My special ability is to merge with all things."

"Merge... with the return to nothingness?"

"To create reincarnation, to resolve the return to nothingness, to save those three ants, I need to understand them, know them..."

"Just like if I killed the Heavenly Emperor, to revive him, I would need to know his Divine Skills, the Great Dao, his methods... everything."

In the Unknown Land, Qi Yuan’s clothes fluttered in the wind, rustling.

He had thought of many things and understood much more.

"Reincarnation... shall begin... from the beginning."

"Merge... with the return to nothingness."

After becoming the Yin God, Qi Yuan used his special ability to merge with the Door of All Differences, but he seldom used it for anything else.

At this moment, he chose to merge with the return to nothingness.

He wanted to see for himself, those beings of return to nothingness.

Without seeing these people, these beings, how could he pull them into... his own soul?

"Three ants... here I come."

Qi Yuan murmured to himself, his figure completely vanishing.

At that moment, his consciousness was muddled, resembling the sound of cicadas in the noon sunlight, sped up a hundred times.

Suddenly, a can of ice-cold Sprite exploded as if signaling something.

Spinning, inverting.

Time was pulled back into its proper trajectory.

...

Wangyue Continent.

By Qiyue Lake.

Ancient Qi Chun Trees soared into the sky, nearly touching the stars, as if just a little higher they could pluck them from the heavens.

"Old timer, stop spinning tales, all this about the Faceless Sword Deity, the Outer Heaven Demon, it’s all just to fool kids,"

In the tavern, a burly man with a tipsy face spoke dismissively.

"You’ve told these stories a hundred times, we’re all tired of hearing them, tell us something new."

Several martial artists chimed in to tease.

The old man with a beard full of whiskers flushed red, as though he had drunk counterfeit alcohol.

"You, you... ah, the mortal realm is just not worth it."
