Master of Strange Dao

In the beginning, Yu Ziqing actually wanted to try to prevent the spread of the Great Mistake.

But he later found out that if he wanted to stop it, he could try to fight for a while, as Dadui was different from other Divine Dynasties.

However, with other Divine Dynasties, there was truly nothing that could be done; the Evil Dao had long completed their preparations, and the vast territories of the Divine Dynasties had become their weakness, as it was impossible to control every aspect.

Once one point was breached, it would spread exponentially.

At such a time, you could tell everyone, alas, it can't be stopped now.

If one wants to resolve the Great Mistake now, there are only two outcomes.

Either do nothing, and prepare a grave for the most numerous, largest, and most widespread Qi Refining cultivators, wait for the Qi Refining Dao to lie down, and cover it with soil.

Or, attempt to gather the doors, resolve the Great Mistake, and then wait for a deity in perfect condition to emerge from the door to kill all Qi Refining, Body Refinement, and Refining God cultivators.

In such a situation, how would you choose?

It is estimated that before a choice can be made, Qi Refining cultivators will have to fight other cultivators first.

In any case, Qi Refining cultivators are not likely to lie flat and wait for death; they have to fight fiercely, and even if they lose, they can drag everyone down with them, providing some psychological comfort.

The final result, with eighty percent probability, would be that among Qi Refining cultivators, some with great influence would not wish for the Qi Refining Dao and its paths to be severed, and would begin to search wholeheartedly for the shards of the door to piece it together.

Another part, not considered top-tier strength or bottom-rung loose cultivators, would feel the general trend is such that at worst, they could switch to Body Refinement or Refining God.

Then, Body Refinement and Refining God cultivators might, to avoid being dragged down, even attempt to stop those Qi Refining cultivators from finding the door.

Positions would change instantly.

Before reaching the true conclusion, the whole world would be busy standing in lines, throwing into chaos, with surely quite a few people dying as a result.

In Yu Ziqing's deductions, this was only the change after he spread the news from the Evil Dao youth.

There was simply not enough time to reach the true dilemma before this side nearly collapsed.

As the Emperor Dui, even though he did not personally intervene in many details, Yu Ziqing still looked at history.

He dared to assure that events would develop in the predicted direction, and this might still be an optimistic projection; the actual situation would only be worse.

Therefore, Yu Ziqing said nothing, even though he believed the Evil Dao youth was telling the truth, he was not prepared to spread such news now.

Besides causing unforeseeable catastrophic consequences, there was no benefit.

Of course, the main point was that the Great Mistake could no longer be stopped.

Yu Ziqing would never tell the Evil Dao youth these words.

In the eyes of the Evil Dao youth, Yu Ziqing appeared to be gentle and earnest on the surface, with a seemingly good reputation, but in reality, he had a heart of stone, coldly watching disasters unfold while enjoying the benefits for himself.

Of course, the youth believed this because he felt it was right.

The Evil Dao youth felt that only such a reaction was normal; those willing to stand at the front lines to resist disaster were the ones who were not normal.

The Evil Dao youth stared at Yu Ziqing for a long time, finally calming down during their confrontation.

He believed Yu Ziqing was not lying to him, and Yu Ziqing truly hadn't disclosed the dilemma to the outside world.

Moreover, the Evil Dao youth could even feel that Yu Ziqing was genuinely more interested in him than in the Great Mistake.

This made the Evil Dao youth feel it was appropriate, and simultaneously seeing Yu Ziqing's true nature, he couldn't help but want to sneer.

Just as he started to lift his lips into a slight smile, he sighed softly with a complex expression.

Even though he felt the world was dark inside, he still regretted that it was that way.

You could say, people are sometimes just masochists.

Yu Ziqing crossed his legs, holding a teapot, with a stance of waiting to watch the show inside without caring about the chaos outside.

The Evil Dao youth went along with the act, which made him feel hiding was meaningless.

The youth's eyes grew empty, and after a long silence, he spoke suddenly.

"When I was just born, my mother died.

Or rather, she died when a cultivator of the Evil Dao had prematurely extracted the Purple River Carriage.

I would have frozen to death in the snow if not for the old dog in my house that saved me.

When I was five, my adoptive family was taken by a crazed Evil Dao practitioner for a blood sacrifice.

At six, the small village where I wandered also vanished.

At that time, a passing Evil Dao master took an interest in me, saying I had a half-dead aura.

He took me as a disciple and treated me very well.

For the first time, I had a full meal.

He taught me cultivation, in the Evil Dao.

At the time, I was conflicted; I hated the Evil Dao the most but was indebted to him.

I told him my thoughts, and he said, hatred alone does nothing.

Action is required.

At that time, I merely sought revenge against the Evil Dao practitioners I had encountered.

He told me the Evil Dao itself was flawed, beyond salvation.

Rather than allow Endless Evil Dao cultivators to create more disasters.

It's better to destroy the Evil Dao at its origin.

From then on, there'd be no more Evil Dao cultivators, and consequently, no more disasters brought by them.

When I was young, I was shocked by this idea.
