Chapter 271 Balancing the Difference Between Good and Evil
"I would like to ask you to balance the distinction between good and evil in foreign lands!"
Looking at the smiling Demon Ancestor Rahu, Li Muyang had no more illusions left. He felt only bitterness and helplessness. "Big sister, why don't you just kill me already? Is it too late for me to return that world of consciousness to you now?"
Luo Hou smiled and continued, "Don't worry, this matter is actually simpler than you think!"
"The ultimate justice and evil are both dead ends! They belong to the evil path! Although I am the ancestor of the demonic path, I also know that the most important thing of the demonic path is not indulgence, but upholding one's true nature. One can do whatever one wants, but one cannot indulge in unrestrained desires."
Li Muyang's eyes widened in shock. These words were spoken by the Demon Ancestor Rahu? Are you really not the Dao Ancestor Hongjun in disguise? Or is it a simulation by the Heavenly Dao?
Luo Hou rolled her eyes. Of course, she could sense Li Muyang's thoughts. She retorted, "Who do you think I am? To the world, extremes, whether righteous or evil, are mistakes! I am the ancestor of the demonic path! Not the ancestor of the evil path! The path I pursue is not the destruction of the world! Not indulgence! But the freedom to follow one's heart and do as one pleases!"
"Given the current state of the demonic path outside, if this continues, they will only be completely consumed by their desires! They will die without a burial place! If they lose even their true selves, then what is the point of the demonic path? I'm not a garbage dump; not just anyone can join the demonic path! You don't think the demonic path is just a bunch of lunatics, do you? There are always people who can't distinguish between the demonic path and the evil path!"
Well, "I only want what I want and do what I want" and "I want everything and want to do everything" are two different things. The former is indeed doing what you want, while the latter is just being greedy!
It has to be the Demon Ancestor who is at a higher level!
Luo Hou slightly puffed out his chest and raised his head—proudly.
"Please tell me in detail." Li Muyang blinked and bowed again, asking for guidance. "Don't keep me in suspense. Just tell me what you want me to do."
"Keep an eye on the area, and don't let either the righteous or the evil side outside become too powerful!" Luo Hou said leisurely.
Li Muyang was speechless. "Isn't this the same as not saying anything at all? What exactly should I do?! I'm completely confused!"
Luo Hou stroked her chin, thinking. She did need a fixed standard, otherwise it would be difficult to define her position. The problem was that she couldn't come up with a suitable idea herself!
The demonic path and the immortal path actually have something in common: they both know exactly what they want and what they want to do!
"To put it bluntly, it's about promoting and spreading positive energy! Justice should be celebrated! What the demon race needs is desire, emotional energy. Isn't the desire and pursuit of righteous actions also a kind of desire? Only negative energy is not good for the demon race, the demon cult, or the demon realm! If possible, I hope you can think of a way to give the demon race a source of positive energy income."
"In fact... positive energy is more efficient than negative energy. It's just that negative energy is easier to generate, but you really can't stand eating too much of it."
Now Li Muyang understood!
"Understood! You mean, I need to find a way to get people abroad to support and promote acts of justice?" Li Muyang clapped his hands and asked. This matter was probably not difficult for him at all! If nothing unexpected happened, according to his next plan, it would be a piece of cake!
Luo Hou smiled and nodded. "A quick learner... I'm a genius! To come up with such a conclusion!"
The main problem is that it would be too much trouble for her to talk to Li Muyang about the demonic path right now. Moreover, if Li Muyang were to accidentally stray onto the demonic path, Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao would definitely be furious with her.
Li Muyang was trained to save the world; if he were to stray onto the demonic path, what world would he be saving? Even Luo Hou himself had to admit that most demons were simply unsuitable for this kind of work because they were too self-serving! Therefore, the demonic path needed to be restrained!
The ultimate goal of nurturing Li Muyang is to hope that he will surpass everyone else and be able to do things that they cannot do now, in order to save the world... How can this be restrained?
As for how to maintain a balance in promoting positive energy... naturally, it's because everyone can see that the situation abroad has become unbalanced! The current state is clearly one where evil is rampant, and the righteous path is only being upheld by some so-called superheroes.
Don't expect foreign officials to have any selfless intentions; they have the typical robber mentality, all they do is expand outwards and fight amongst themselves! It's all about vying for power!
The overall trend abroad has shifted towards profit-seeking and indulgence. With everyone developing in this way, the space for righteousness to even survive becomes negligible.
Look at the world next door. There may be plenty of scoundrels, but at least most people are willing to stand on the side of superheroes and support righteous actions. Here... they can't even be bothered to put on an act!
The so-called "no killing" principle is like an unlimited suppression in DC's case. Suppressing it to the end risks going crazy, and once it breaks out, it's a fight to the death!
Meanwhile, in the neighboring world, the villains and heroes sometimes unite to fight the enemy, and after the battle, they can sit together, drink tea, chat, and then go about their business as usual.
Even Rahu and the Demon Realm never expected that the foreign lands would develop into what they are now without a word. The major pantheons are afraid of being tricked by mortals, and they don't want to lose face if they tell others. So they can only keep their heads down and occasionally give the Blue Star a few useless so-called "miracles" to buy time.
This world is rich in spiritual energy and the Heavenly Dao is also present, so there is no such thing as the old gods retreating and the new gods becoming the mainstream. At least the former's authority is still very useful, while the new gods are just a channel for cultivation.
Having understood Luo Hou's meaning, Li Muyang patted his chest and guaranteed that he would definitely bring some positive energy to the foreign countries! "I may not be very capable, but I can guarantee my character!"
Luo Hou nodded with a faint smile. In fact, her main purpose in seeking out Li Muyang was to establish a good relationship. It was clear from multiple perspectives that the Bureau Li Muyang had joined was extraordinary, which could be considered as finding a way out for the Demon Realm. In case their own world was really beyond saving, they would have a chance in the future.
In fact, given the current situation, the worst that can happen to our own world is that it will revert to chaos. At worst, we can withdraw first and come back after the world reopens. The problem is that withdrawing is easier said than done!
Before Luo Hou and Hong Jun broke away from the Heavenly Dao, they could never escape. Including the Six Sages, only their subordinates had the possibility of leaving. And this possibility lay with Li Muyang, because he could truly break away from the scope of this world, not those small worlds that had broken away.
"Good." Luo Hou was quite satisfied with this meeting. He smiled and gave a final instruction: "The consciousness world I sent you contains my mark. The beings of the Demon Realm will recognize it. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they will not attack you. They can even establish a cooperative relationship. Of course, the only exception is when you undergo tribulation. You understand what I mean."
Li Muyang nodded. When he was undergoing the tribulation, the demon realm would definitely increase his strength. If he couldn't overcome it, it would be a problem with his own abilities, and he couldn't blame anyone else.
"Well... I look forward to the day we meet again." Luo Hou waved with a smile, but Li Muyang felt an invisible force pulling him away.
Before leaving, I vaguely remembered a sentence from Luo Hou: "It seems there's something wrong with reality. You should go and see how to solve it."
problem occurs?
Well, as expected. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Muyang will be lamenting that this isn't DC anymore.
These zombies are definitely not simple!
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the large head of the Shennong Beast in its jade unicorn form.
"AUV! You're finally awake~" Shennong Beast teased sarcastically, "I couldn't contact you at all after you left that consciousness space! You were unconscious for three days and three nights! I was almost burning paper money for you!"
Li Muyang chuckled and scratched his head, then looked around. Almost everyone he knew from his little world had come out.
Actually, it wasn't a big deal that they all came out, but it startled everyone else. Nobody expected that Li Muyang, who looked like he was alone, would bring so many people with him all at once! And there were even several divine beasts with him!
The existence of small worlds is not a secret, just very rare, but considering that Li Muyang has spatial abilities, it is not unacceptable.
Whether it was Batman or Lyra, after asking a few questions to confirm that they were Li Muyang's people, they stopped bothering with them. If it were just Bai Yuxiu and the other few humans, it would be fine, but the appearance of the Shennong Beast and the other divine beasts was too oppressive!
The divine beasts have all signed contracts, so Laila can't be taken away. The only one who can be taken away is Li Muyang, but Old Li is currently unconscious, so there's no way to take him away!
Feeling uneasy around a group of mythical creatures, Batman and the Sky Eye Society went off to study zombies.
He briefly explained the situation to everyone, saying that he had been captured by an old senior, who gave him a few words of advice. He assured them that everything was alright and everyone could disperse. After confirming that Li Muyang was truly unharmed, everyone returned to the small world, except for Shennong Beast, which still hadn't gone back.
"Are you really alright?" Shennong Beast looked at Li Muyang meaningfully and said, "I can sense that a new space has appeared in your sea of consciousness! And it's very large! This is something you couldn't possibly open right now! Was it a gift from some senior?"
Li Muyang nodded with a wry smile: "That's right."
Seeing that Li Muyang didn't want to talk about it in detail, Shennong Beast, who was in sync with Old Li, curled its lips and didn't ask any further questions. It knew that it must involve the old man, otherwise he wouldn't be so cowardly.
With the Shennong Beast by his side, Li Muyang went to find Batman. Firstly, he had been unconscious in Batman's manor for several days, which must have frightened Batman. What kind of strange thing was this? A group of people and divine beasts even came out of his body. If Li Muyang didn't go and explain, Batman might put him at the top of the threat list.
Of course, I should go and comfort her and express my gratitude.
Secondly, I also wanted to see how things went. Didn't Luo Hou say something bad was going to happen?
Batman, who was conducting research in the Batcave, turned around and saw Li Muyang and Shennong Beast approaching. He calmly continued his research with his head down, but asked, "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, thank you for your concern." Li Muyang rubbed his head with a wry smile: "I'm sorry for troubling you."
