Legend of the Great Sage

t understand the weight of this sin.
The feeling was completely different.

Rāhu Xiaoming shut his eyes.
He was frosty.
“I don’t want to answer that.”

“You sure are an impressive bastard!” Li Qingshan praised him from the bottom of his head.

Back then, Li Qingshan completely did not approve of his miserable demeanor of having lost his fighting spirit.
He felt like he was not even as bold and daring as a regular asura and nowhere close when compared to himself.
However, only now did he understand his strength.

That was because eliminating this sense of guilt was actually very easy.
Just yelling out, “The world is benevolent and lives are worthless.” and then treating the living creatures as ants was enough.
Many cultivators did that.
He could do that as well, saying that the fault lay in the world, not him.

He could even push the blame onto his mother, or even the living creatures.
“Who made you so feeble? This world has always been about the strong preying on the weak.”

Li Qingshan had heard far too many things like that in both his past and present life, but Rāhu Xiaoming did not act like that.
He chose to shoulder the sins and live each day in dejection until he died.
Even when he was reborn in his flames of karma, no longer suffering from the bad karma, this weight would not vanish.

“Why bother at all!”

Rāhu Xiaoming opened his left eye and glanced at him.
“Aren’t you the same?”

“Yes, I’m the same.”

Since he refused to twist his conscience, to invert the truth and push the blame onto others, then he would have to bear it himself.
That was their pride.
Two people who viewed all life as worthless could not travel together as peers for too long.

Gu Yanying clapped her hands.
“Alright, you can stop sucking up to each other here! Boys, when do we set off? Qingshan, your women and friends in the South sea can be taken away from this world on Navy Li’l Fatty, but there’s nothing we can do about the others.”

“Let me try again!”

Li Qingshan leapt up and arrived on Dragonshead mountain.
The countless vines extended towards him.
As soon as they made contact with his body, they were shattered to pieces by the pitch-black power of tremors.

That continued until he arrived before the Heaven Climbing Vine.
The trunk was like a verdant-green wall.
He tore down the wall and stepped inside.

The vine was hollow inside.
A twisted tunnel led into the sky, vanishing into space.

Li Qingshan crossed his legs and sat down.
His heart was still like water, using the spirit turtle to see if he could deduce anything first before trying everything else he was capable of…

A long time later, Li Qingshan’s heart gradually rippled.
Everything he was capable of ended in failure.
He smiled self-deprecatingly.
“I sure am the standard hypocrite!”

Yes, even if he could choose a hundred times again, he would not have the slightest hesitation.
Even at this moment, he never felt a tinge of regret.
In order to make his wish come true, he would do so even if he had to personally butcher all the living creatures.

That was the ox demon’s stubbornness, the tiger demon’s violence, and the ape demon’s desire to do whatever it wanted.

But when he looked back, when he first set off on this path, he wanted to be “Niu Juxia”, yet from beginning to end, the sins he had committed were thousands of times worse than the mountain bandits of the Black Wind stronghold.
Life sure was filled with irony! He wanted to become the hero king.
Perhaps he could only become one in a place like the small world, where he could crush everyone through absolute strength!

No, even in the small world, countless innocent people have died because of me!

His mind rippled.
His scarlet hair gradually faded away, and the burning flames in his scarlet eyes were extinguished.
His handsome face turned back, returning to his chiseled look from before.
He furrowed his brows firmly, unable to smile everything away.

The supreme Daemon King who had rampaged through the world was like a mortal who had made a mistake, demonstrating shame and guilt.
He murmured, “Sorry!”

At that instant, his heart began to thump.
A certain shadow in the depths of his sea of consciousness suddenly appeared.
