Chapter 1485: Am I Not Also a Piece of Rotten Wood?
The inner demon's words sent Kong Ru into deep thought.
He did not question the source of the inner demon's confidence.
Since he had dared to come here alone, he had already planned for everything. Whether he lived or died, what was meant to happen would still happen.
The inner demon tapped lightly on the table and smiled. "Why must the Literary Dao stubbornly resist? A new world and new rules—wouldn't that be interesting?"
Kong Ru shook his head. "The Buddhist Dao wagers on the future, and the Mysterious Gate rests on the present. My Literary Dao naturally has its own choices to make. However, it is not the place of a petty inner demon like you to wreak havoc upon this world. Even if you wore tens of thousands of faces, this old man would still recognize you. You were formed from the inner demon of that devil of the past, Zhao Yuqing. You are neither human nor demon, ghost nor immortal. To put it bluntly, you are nothing at all."
"You are nothing more than a single thought, yet you shamelessly boast of seizing the world. Is that not utterly ridiculous?"
The inner demon's expression remained unchanged. "So what if I am a thought? Do all things in this world not stem from a single thought? Would you, Kong Ru, truly not understand just how immense a change a single thought can bring?"
"Heh heh heh..."
"A thought is the beginning of everything. It is the cause that later bears fruit."
