The Law Sovereign stared blankly for a moment and said, “It’s not just you who finds it unbelievable; even I myself think it’s incredible. But this change, or perhaps the transformation of my entire being, has indeed happened so realistically… After tens of thousands of years of subtle influence, I find myself unable to turn back, or perhaps I simply don’t want to turn back anymore?”
“Have I changed? Or has the world changed?”
“When all your efforts yield no sight of your desired beauty; when all your struggles devolve into empty talk; when brotherhood becomes nothingness, and when I turn back, all I see is hatred…”
“I have changed! I want to take revenge on the world! Why? We created a peaceful era, yet the creators of peace meet with a bad end? Why can some mediocre people enjoy the fruits of our struggles? Why must we suffer so bitterly? Why must we restore the heavens? Why?!”
“Do we owe them anything? Do we owe them anything? If the brothers back then only wanted to enjoy the martial arts world, which of them couldn’t do it? Which of them was inferior to others?”
“All the effort, all the loyalty, has turned into a joke! It was all just to sew garments for others… I have changed!”
“I have become someone who is no longer who I used to be!”
“From the first time I killed for power, and it was to kill a good person, I just kept going down this path. One wrong step leads to another, and eventually, I fell into despair, practicing demon techniques to harmonize my spirit, and it became uncontrollable… Now, I have even connected with the otherworldly demons, and my own body has become half-demon… I am thoroughly stuck in this mire! A single misstep leads to eternal regret, and looking back after a hundred years, I have lived not just for a hundred years, but for a thousand, ten thousand!”
“With my current mindset, how could I speak of loyalty? What qualifications do I have to mention those two words…” The Law Sovereign let out a bitter laugh: “Those two words have long been disconnected from me. My brothers are all dead; even if I want to speak of loyalty, who can I speak to? Speak of loyalty with others in this world? Do they deserve it?”
“But…” Mo Qingwu exclaimed in anger, “But your brothers… are not dead at all! At least, they didn’t die because of your so-called conspiracy!”
This sentence that Mo Qingwu blurted out felt like a sudden storm, shaking the very foundation beneath them.
“Not dead? My brothers are not dead?!” The Law Sovereign was instantly stunned.
His eyes widened suddenly, staring blankly, as if frozen in place!
It was like the thunder from the sky, landing squarely on his head.
If Mo Qingwu had been willing to strike at this moment, she could have attacked a completely defenseless and unresisting Law Sovereign, and an instant kill would not have been a fantasy!
The Law Sovereign suddenly raised his head and stepped forward, his gaze piercing as he fixed on Mo Qingwu, his originally calm voice turning urgent: “What did you say?! What were you just saying? Say it again, speak clearly!”
Mo Qingwu looked at him with pity and said word by word: “I said, your brothers are actually not dead.”
“Not, dead…” The Law Sovereign mumbled, lost and faltering as he took a step back.
He knew that, from any perspective, Mo Qingwu could not possibly deceive him about this matter, and for a moment, he became somewhat dazed.
This time, he was genuinely dazed.
Even his gaze became hollow.
If Mo Qingwu chose to act again, she could still instantly subdue the Law Sovereign.
A wise man, yet he would lose himself multiple times in a short conversation; such a situation was indeed exceedingly rare.
But Mo Qingwu still did not make a move.
Because he and the Law Sovereign had almost identical experiences, at this moment, how could he act? In his heart, there was only a sigh.
“Then… where are they?” The Law Sovereign took a deep breath, his gaze becoming exceptionally sharp.
