Chapter 1168

After refining the remnant of the Law of Slaughter, Zi Chen continued on his journey.

Along the way, he acted as a spectator or a high and mighty ruler, looking at the mortal world and its suffering.

He had seen honest and trustworthy peddlers, whose days were not good, but they were happy every day, and their faces were full of smiles. He had also seen heartless peddlers, who made enough money, but their lives were full of worries and worries. He had seen rude and rude lawgivers, who killed people by virtue of the law, but he had also seen extremely strict supervisors, who were meticulous in their work. He had also seen wicked horse thieves, who killed people without batting an eyelid, and had also met robbers who were both thieves and thieves.

In Zi Chen's eyes, there were always two sides to everything in the world: good and evil.

Zi Chen used more than a hundred years to verify the concept of good and evil.

In the end, Zi Chen comprehended good in a mountain village and comprehended the Law of Good.

During this moment of enlightenment, Zi Chen concluded that there were many good people in the mountains.

They did not have much knowledge, and some of them were even illiterate. However, they had their own conscience and knew what good was. The bottom line of good was always higher than the outside world. In their eyes, stealing a chicken was a great evil in the world.

05 years later, Zi Chen was in the bandit's lair. He saw many tragic and inhumane scenes. Here, he felt the evil of the world.

He also comprehended the Law of Evil.

The moment he comprehended the Law of Evil, Zi Chen's expression became ferocious and terrifying, as if he was the most evil person in the world. That evil was chilling. In the end, he turned this place into a field of corpses.

The great kindness of the cultivation world could not be compared to the great kindness of the mortal world. The great kindness of the cultivation world could not be compared to the great evil of the mortal world.

Zi Chen's law power increased by two, good and evil.

These two laws were extremely rare in the world. Good could only be comprehended by good people. Compared to evil, the law of good was even rarer.

After leaving the Everlasting Sect, Zi Chen first comprehended the Laws of Nature, then the Laws of Slaughter, and now the Laws of Good and Evil. With so many Laws in his body, Zi Chen gradually understood the path he wanted to walk.

Just as there were good and evil in the world, there were also true and false. This was even more so for the affairs of the mortal world. It was hard to tell the difference between the real and the false.

Everyone had two sides. Perhaps they were kind on the outside but evil on the inside. For Zi Chen, kindness and evil were relatively easy to understand, but it was much more difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

People in this world might not necessarily deal with good and evil, but there would definitely be truth and falsehood. This included everything that was said and done.

Zi Chen had once seen a servant rush into a fire to save his master. At that time, the servant's eyes were filled with determination. It was real, but when he accepted the reward and his status changed, it became fake.

This caused Zi Chen to have no choice but to wonder if the unswerving determination and disregard for personal safety he displayed at that time was sincere or did he have some other objective in mind.

Society in the mortal world was very complicated. There were many truths and falsehoods, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, love, and many others.

This time, Zi Chen spent hundreds of years and changed almost 15% of the mortal world before he finally understood the truth and falsehood.

During this time, Zi Chen passed by a Savage Tribe. The people of two tribes were fighting. One of the tribes was defeated, and the men suffered heavy casualties. In desperation, the tribe could only migrate.

But during the migration, new lives were born.

After understanding the truth and falsehood, Zi Chen tried to comprehend life and death. Life and death were the great Dao of the world. To successfully comprehend it was more difficult than comprehending truth and falsehood, good and evil, slaughter, and the Laws of Nature.

In the process of comprehension, Zi Chen walked and stopped. In the end, it took him a thousand years.

For someone like Zi Chen who had an extremely high level of comprehension, a thousand years of comprehension was undoubtedly an extremely long time.

A thousand years. It took less than a thousand years for Zi Chen to break through to the peak of the Mortal Nascent Realm from birth. However, it took him a thousand years to comprehend the laws.

During these thousand years, Zi Chen appeared in various mortal worlds. There were countless rumors about unknown cultivators. However, there were no rumors about Zi Chen in the world of cultivators.

During Zi Chen's 055 years of enlightenment, Zi Chen, who had always been high and mighty, began to make his move after he had seen through something.

He acted as he pleased. He didn't care if he was a cultivator or not. He was like a law enforcer in the mortal world, enforcing the law in the mortal world.

After that, Zi Chen's eyes became firmer. He knew what he wanted. After a thousand years of comprehension, Zi Chen gained a lot.

He didn't understand the message that the Saint left him. Now, he understood and understood.

…

On the mountain peak, Zi Chen released his aura. Around him, the power of the laws appeared. Black clouds condensed in the sky again.

This time, Zi Chen wasn't trying to break through. He was looking for someone.

In a short moment, a figure appeared in front of Zi Chen. It was Xing Dao Li.

"A thousand years. You've been in the mortal world for a thousand years. Have you thought about your path?" Xing Dao Li asked after appearing.

Zi Chen nodded.

Xing Dao Li asked curiously, "What path? Are you going to choose one of those laws? Or do you want to cultivate all of them?"

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "I don't want to walk the path of the laws."

"If it's not the path of the laws, then what path is it? Don't you want to break through?" Xing Dao Li was surprised.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Senior, do you remember asking me about the chicken and egg?"

Xing Dao Li nodded, but he didn't understand what Zi Chen meant.

Zi Chen said, "Back then, I had yet to comprehend the laws and didn't know the vastness of the laws. Therefore, I said that as long as I was happy, it didn't matter what came first. However, ever since I came into contact with the laws, I fell into a state of confusion.

"In the 60 years since I entered the world, if it weren't for your guidance, I'm afraid I still wouldn't have been able to sense what the rules were. However, after that, I knew what the rules were and what kind of existence they were. Hence, in the following 430 years, I sensed one rule after another."

Zi Chen paused for a moment before he continued, "In these years, I have been perceiving the laws, refining them, and gaining a deeper understanding of the laws. I gradually understood what the laws were. Because of this understanding, the laws that I have comprehended over the years are ones that few in the mortal world can comprehend. Every law that I have comprehended can be of great benefit to an Earth Yuan expert. If senior still hasn't found the answer to the chicken and egg, I can tell senior the answer now."

Xing Dao Li's face immediately lit up with joy. He praised, "It seems that Senior Cauldron Spirit was right. I will be able to find the answer if I follow you. Quickly tell me, which came first?"

Zi Chen earnestly replied, "The chicken first."

"Why?"

Zi Chen continued, "Because I love to eat chicken."

"What kind of answer is that?"

Xing Dao Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Zi Chen had given the same answer a thousand years ago. Now, a thousand years had passed and Zi Chen was still giving the same answer. However, what use was that to him?

Zi Chen looked at Xing Dao Li and earnestly explained, "We cultivators cultivate wholeheartedly. Although what we do is defying the heavens, it is not like we are treading on thin ice. Cultivation is about cultivating the heart. As long as you follow your heart, you will be fine. There are thousands of laws in the mortal world, but we cannot extravagantly hope to know all of them. We only need one, and this one is precisely what you can choose."

"Senior, what you are asking is not the chicken and egg, but the beginning of the world. I didn't understand this question in the past, and I still don't understand it now. However, if even Senior Cauldron Spirit, an extremely ancient existence, doesn't know the answer, why do we have to know it?"

Zi Chen continued, "If I had to choose, I would say that the Tianwu Continent is the beginning of the world."

"Why?" asked Xing Dao Li.

"The reason is very simple. I was born in this world, and this world made me who I am. I comprehended the laws here, cultivated here, and grew stronger … Most importantly, I understand this world. I like this world."

"Understanding and liking this world is enough."

Zi Chen raised his hand and pointed at the sky. "For a thousand years, I have been constantly comprehending the laws, trying to find the most suitable law for myself. During this time, I comprehended one law after another. These laws are very powerful. Over ninety percent of the Earth Yuan in the world would envy me because of these laws. However, I discovered that these powerful laws are not suitable for me.

"These laws are not the Dao I want to cultivate. They go against my experience growing up. Therefore, even though they are powerful, they are not very useful to me. These laws are not suitable for me. Or rather, the thousands of laws in this world are not suitable for me.

"In the past, I was a person who followed the rules. If I had continued to grow, I probably wouldn't have been able to reach my current height even in ten lifetimes. However, my fate changed after a scheme between my good brothers. I was lucky enough to not die. From then on, I walked a different path."

Zi Chen had been thinking about what had happened in the past for many years. He thought about the people and matters of the past. In the past hundred years, he had gradually thought things through.

In the past, his life had been very exciting. He could be said to be a legend of his generation. He had shocked the world time and time again, causing the major powers to suffer losses time and time again. His name was like the resplendent Xing Chen, illuminating the entire cultivation world.

But thinking about it, Zi Chen's past life could be summed up in one word.

That word was destruction.

Zi Chen's eyes flickered as a smile appeared on his face. He said, "Since I was reborn, I have been walking the path of destruction. I have been destroying everything along the way. I have broken the reasonable and natural rules one after another."

"It was the same when the Nimbus Martial Ancestor entered the inner sect. He was supposed to be the first, but something happened because of my appearance."

"In the past, the Cang, Li, Chu, and a few other factions ruled this area. They were the laws of this area. No one dared to provoke them. However, I broke the rules again and again. In the end, I destroyed these factions and built the Wuji Sect."

"In the Land of Chaos, I fought against the major factions and built the Heavenly Savage Pavilion, which caused the dominating factions to suffer losses time and time again."

"In the Small World, I found eight badges that were supposed to be the first."

"In the Ancient Battlefield, I teamed up with a friend to eliminate the existence of a law. In the end, I even broke the rules and brought Longhu and Elder Gui out."
