Chapter 1051: Section 665: Dreamin’_2
"Yes, it’s the same for them. Or for the Nobles and the royals, they both understand exactly what the other wants to do. They both know how much they wish to destroy each other. But they’re shackled by Chaos itself. I’ve often wondered if, without Chaos, they might have already decided life and death between them. Yet, alas, Fate shows mercy to no one. Now, they’ve got no choice but to act as if they sympathize with one another... Truly pathetic." Malin smiled as he said this: "Young Chengshan, let’s not discuss such tragic matters any further."
"No problem. Honestly, it really is rather sad. Fortunately, we Thanan handled all of this in times past. If Chaos truly descends, I believe we will be the ones on this planet to resist for the longest. Perhaps we’ll still lose, but we will never beg the Evil God for survival, let alone accept so-called immortality. That kind of choice is far more terrifying than death."
Malin nodded. Indeed, no normal person on this planet could ever choose to become a Chaotic Believer. It’s a choice with no alternatives. Only lunatics and madmen might think that joining the traffickers is the only way to survive.
Yes, true, believing in them earns eternal life. Malin didn’t dispute that. But by that time, whether the one alive is truly "yourself" becomes a deeply philosophical question.
That "you"—is it really you? One might see, but might not truly believe.
"Mr. Malin, the fleet is almost done with the loading process. Mr. Meng sent me to find you." Bishop Zhang pushed open the door.
Malin couldn’t continue sitting in front of this young one any longer. As he got up to leave, another messenger arrived.
"Young sir, the signal tower received word just now. Mentor Chao was attacked by Chaos en route. Though he repelled the attack, he sustained serious injuries, and the three disciples accompanying him were all killed."
Malin noticed that, upon hearing this news, the alarmed look on Bishop Zhang’s face seemed unquestionably genuine.
