Chapter 2430 - The Meaning of Seeking the Dao
Had there been even the slightest hope of anything else working, Su Yi would never have sent his friends into the cycle of reincarnation with his own two hands.
And the situation was urgent and perilous enough that he couldn’t afford to wait in hope of finding another way. He had to make a decision immediately.
It was just... the price was unquestionably far too heavy.
After the power of reincarnation receded and his old friends’ figures vanished, Su Yi stood there in silence for a long time, not saying a word.
When you were really hurt, you wouldn’t necessarily cry your lungs out, lose control, or curse heaven and earth. Sometimes, you just fell silent.
Sometimes, you didn’t want to say anything at all. Even your emotions were suppressed to the limit. To the point that it seemed as if nothing had happened at all.
In the mundane world, when adults lost their parents, they often had no tears. It was only when they returned home and inadvertently picked up something their parents had once used, or when they thoughtlessly called their parents down for dinner... that their parents’ deaths really sank in.
That momentary shock could shatter the dam deep within their heart, leaving them bawling like a child unable to find their parents. Memories of their decades of life together would flood their memories.
Su Yi was calm, and silent, but no one else could possibly have understood how painful it had been to send his old friends on their way with his own hands.
“Daoist Brother, you said it yourself. The moment they were taken captive, their lives ceased to be their own.” Luo Yao walked over and said gently, “From their perspective, they’ve finally found release. Whatever you do... Don’t have a guilty conscience over this.”
Su Yi shook his head slightly.
Release? No. This was an agonizing choice made under duress!
