Chapter 919 - 918: Zhengyi Sect
"’If a man does not act for himself, will Heaven annihilate him and Earth obliterate him?’" Yusuf Zuck’s face turned pale, as this was not the Dao he desired. At the same time, he finally understood that the Heavenly Dao was merciless. In this vast world, only those who are truly heartless, devoid of love, and purely selfish could achieve longevity.
There’s an old saying: good people do not live long, while calamities last a thousand years. This is the epitome of the Heavenly Dao.
If your heart is filled with love and compassion, you cannot achieve immortality. Instead, those who are selfish and think only of themselves live longer because they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, capable of any underhanded and unscrupulous deed.
Phoenix Thornton continued with reddened eyes, "I’ve heard that there are particularly many Buddhists in the higher realms, and the reason is just this: those who cultivate Buddhism are originally without affection or love, without kin or reason, and thus they truly conform to the Heavenly Dao’s doctrine."
"Without passion, without love, without friends or family, what’s the point of living?" Yusuf Zuck said with a cold laugh.
"My father said the same before. That’s why he told me before he crossed the tribulation that we are human, we have flesh and blood and we also have hearts!"
"Your father is awake!" Suddenly, as Phoenix Thornton spoke, the Prophet who had fallen to the ground abruptly opened his eyes, emanating two beams of golden light, while his body slowly floated upward. Then, a door opened in the sky—a Golden Door radiating blinding brilliance.
"He successfully cut off his mortal ties in the tribulation?" Yusuf Zuck took a deep breath.
Phoenix Thornton was tense all over because, at this moment, she didn’t know what her father had become. Having only heard of it and never experienced it herself, she was truly afraid her father wouldn’t recognize her.
After the golden light shone on the Prophet, his body quickly recovered, while immortal qi continuously enveloped him, and even a purple aura rose above his head.
