Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1276: Chapter 1276 Look At Yourself

Ye Liuyun and Mo Tianheng hadn’t gone far when they sensed something within the Devil Qi.

Ye Liuyun activated his Golden Phantom Eyes, but there was nothing visible.

Strangely, without relying on his Golden Phantom Eyes, he could discern Xenocide within the Devil Qi.

"What’s going on?"

Ye Liuyun looked at Mo Tianheng in confusion, noticing that Mo Tianheng was also observing the Xenocide in the Devil Qi.

It wasn’t until Ye Liuyun discerned the figures within the Devil Qi that the Universal God Token emitted a golden light, indicating to him that it was a Divine Soul attack.

"An illusion?"

Ye Liuyun was curious.

Because within the Devil Qi, he saw an image of himself.

It was a younger version of him, back when his parents were still alive. He was playing around them, a time before he had even started cultivating.

The Universal God Token once again emitted a golden light, trying to pull Ye Liuyun’s Divine Soul back.

"Hold on, let me see what this illusion is showing!" Ye Liuyun resisted while communicating with the Universal God Token.

At that moment, the figures within the Devil Qi transformed again, this time displaying Ye Liuyun struggling in his cultivation, unable to progress despite his efforts.

"Is this replaying my own memories? This illusion is quite intriguing!"

Ye Liuyun watched with keen interest.

The Universal God Token seemed to understand his thoughts, and its golden light softened slightly, allowing him to focus on his own past.

Next, Ye Liuyun saw himself being assassinated by Ye Xingyu, an event that triggered the Universal God Token. Then came the scenes of participating in clan competitions, facing various dangers and challenges.

He grew stronger all the way until he was marked by the Burial God, left the Cangyun Continent, killed the Underworld experts, came to the Central Continent, and finally developed his own forces.

He grew step by step, facing countless dangers and hovering on the edge of life and death.

Suddenly, all the images disappeared, and a voice asked Ye Liuyun, "What were you doing all this for?"

"For finding my parents, to rescue them!" Ye Liuyun blurted out instinctively.

But before he could finish, the voice questioned him again, "Now that you’ve saved your parents, can’t you leave?"

"But the Burial God is still after me!" Ye Liuyun quickly retorted.

"And what if you kill the Burial God? Will you leave with your parents? Will you stop cultivating?" The voice continued its probing.

"Huh?" This question left Ye Liuyun momentarily speechless.

"Yes! Won’t I want to explore the God Realm after I kill the Burial God?"

Before he could respond, the voice asked again, as if it could read his thoughts.

"You cultivate hard not just to find your parents; it’s all for yourself! You’re deceiving yourself!" The voice mocked him this time.

"Then, why do I cultivate?" Ye Liuyun began to ponder.

"You are a selfish being! You will continue on the path of martial arts dao. Eventually, you will dominate the universe, annihilating all your opponents. Your family, your loved ones, will all perish because of it!"

The voice, fearing Ye Liuyun might not believe, continued, "All martial arts experts, in the end, gain the world but age alone in loneliness!"

"Am I selfish?" Ye Liuyun questioned himself.

He noticed people around him were sacrificing for him, helping him, and even giving up their cultivation time.

In that regard, he was indeed somewhat selfish.

"But how does my cultivation in martial arts affect my family? How does it impact them?" Ye Liuyun was puzzled.

"Of course!" The voice explained, "Consider when you face the Burial God. They have to bear all the pressure for you. However, they lack your strength. So, it’s incredibly risky for them."

"The higher your realm, the stronger your enemies, and the more dangerous it becomes for them!"

"What you’re saying makes sense," Ye Liuyun nodded in agreement.

"In the end, your family will perish for you, and you, for the sake of higher realms, a better world, will abandon them. Isn’t that loneliness in old age?" The voice countered. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Ye Liuyun contemplated his words deeply.

He had never thought so deeply before.

Initially, it was about finding his parents. But after finding them, he had new goals. It was to protect his family, explore the God Realm, and further enhance his power.

However, the voice implied something different.

For the first time, he began to doubt his own intentions.

"Perhaps I am truly selfish?" he wondered inwardly.

At that moment, he realized the need to introspect, to carefully examine his own motives.

He had to plan his future path, no matter what it entailed.

Yet, amidst all planning, one thing remained constant: he had to continue his cultivation.

"Of course, you are selfish. Otherwise, why wouldn’t you think about completely eliminating the foreign race for the sake of the people?" The voice replied decisively.

"But I’ve been contributing to eliminating the foreign race all along, haven’t I?" Ye Liuyun argued.

"Contributing? Have you put in your utmost effort in battles? Have you utilized your elite troops? You’re just going through the motions for the sake of your own power!"

"Think about it. Did you have so many reservations when you fought the evil creatures of the foreign race before? The higher your realm, the stronger you become, the more selfish you’ll turn!" The voice pressed on, leaving Ye Liuyun speechless.

"The stronger you become, the more lives you’ll indirectly cause the death of!"

"Think about when your realm was low. Did you have as many enemies as you do now? How many people have you killed in the pursuit of cultivation resources?" The voice asked again.

"Which strong practitioner doesn’t have enemies? Is there a martial artist who doesn’t fight for cultivation resources, who doesn’t kill?" Ye Liuyun countered. "I only kill those who deserve it!"

"Those feral beast in the Beastbrawl Arena, do they deserve to die? What about the princes leading their soldiers, do they all deserve to die?"

Once again, the voice left Ye Liuyun speechless.

"So the stronger you become, the more people are indirectly killed by your hands!" The voice said, tempting him.

For a moment, Ye Liuyun felt overwhelmed, as if he had become a criminal.

Following the logic of this voice, everything he did seemed wrong!

"Should I stop cultivating then? If I didn’t have a realm and allowed others to manipulate me, would I be less selfish?" Ye Liuyun retorted. freёweɓnovel.com

"At this point, there’s no turning back." The voice sighed.

"With your current strength, once you leave, you’ll become a menace. It’s better to stay here and cultivate. This place is safe. Even the Burial God can’t enter. Here, not only will you be safe, but you won’t affect your family anymore!"

The voice suggested.

Ye Liuyun suddenly smiled faintly, "This is your true intention, isn’t it? To shake my Martial Arts Dao’s purpose and trap me here until I’m withered under your influence?"

In his Ocean of Consciousness, the Universal God Token suddenly radiated a brilliant light.

And at that moment, the voice finally disappeared, never to be heard again.
