Chapter 622
Killing is Protecting Life
[The Will of Hell, upon hearing the Will of the Abyss's question, indicated that it had no problem.]
Ye Lingtian, that malevolent star shrouded in a deathly grayness!
Although the other party intruded into hell, it was only for a fleeting moment.
[Although the other party did not plunder any substantial resources or treasures like greedy bandits.]
But the destructive acts, existing solely for the purpose of destruction, inflict immense losses on Hell.
The lava-filled river of blood froze and evaporated, leaving behind a cracked riverbed; the sulfurous, scorched earth, burned for millions of years, was stripped of its vitality and turned into cold ashes and dust.
[Many of the abyssal pillars were destroyed, leaving behind a scene of devastation.]
Even if the essence of Hell wasn't plundered, it would still take an extremely long time to fully recover.
If He had spoken to the will of the abyss, the will of the abyss would surely have taken precautions.
At that time, Ye Lingtian's attempt to force his way into the abyss will most likely fail.
[Having suffered such a great loss themselves, they want to warn the abyss?]
On what grounds?
Is it because of the abyss's continuous bullying and plundering of my hell over the long and despairing past?
[Having borne the wrath of Ye Lingtian, this terrifying fiend, and suffered such a devastating and humiliating loss, is Hell now turning around to warn and protect my nemesis, the Abyss?]
Is there any logic in this world that is so utterly absurd?
【Do not! 】
【no way!】
He would rather bury this overwhelming shame and pain deep within his core than let the abyss be any better.
Let Ye Lingtian go!
[Go to the Abyss!]
Let that damned abyss taste the bitterness of its homeland being mercilessly swept away by the end.
Let them also feel that pain that penetrates to the bone!
In the distance, the will of the abyss keenly detected the lingering anger and humiliation forcibly suppressed in the feedback from the will of hell.
Something's not right!
[Hell, that treacherous creature brimming with evil intentions, is definitely hiding something from the Abyss.]
[Clearly, I've already sensed what's happening on the other side of Hell.]
But hell's response was too smooth and perfect, as perfect as a meticulously rehearsed lie.
However, the will of hell was determined to keep the information gates tightly shut, and the will of the abyss could not force them open.
[But this absolutely does not mean the Abyss will lower its guard. No matter what sordid things this evil seed is hiding, the Abyss will not relax its vigilance in the slightest.]
After all, the Hell Alliance's Red Heart Society, this newly emerging evil organization, has harmed the Abyss more than once or twice.
Behind every so-called tacit understanding or exchange of benefits lies a poisoned dagger aimed at the heart of the abyss.
[What's even more deadly is that utterly stupid and insane idiot in the spirit world!]
This utterly absurd and insane being!
Lacking any patience, devoid of basic planning, and driven entirely by whims, they act on impulse.
He is more of a thorn in the side of the abyss than that treacherous seed of hell.
[There's no way around it; Hell, this evil seed, at least has its own cold, clear logic of self-interest and modus operandi.] [With billions of years of experience in conflict, the Abyss can still predict its movements from the slightest clues and prepare defenses in advance.]
But the spirit world, that fool, behaves in a way that is as unpredictable as a quantum chaotic storm itself.
To put it bluntly, Abyss has a feeling that the Spirit Realm might suddenly act crazy and help Chixin, only to stab him in the back.
[Or perhaps, they will launch an attack in alliance with Hell without warning.]
This unknown threat, stemming from utter chaos and folly, is far more deadly and unsettling than any tangible conspiracy.
In March of the year 2261 of the Extraordinary Calendar, deep within a crevice in the universe, beyond the reach of even the will of a great world, Ye Lingtian's figure, shrouded in a greyish-white aura of the end, stood silently in place.
His consciousness did not subside; instead, with an icy perspective, he meticulously and comprehensively reviewed every detail of his recent intrusion into the hellish plane, which had unleashed a massive carnage.
[Each rule node crumbled silently under his ultimate finger, and every ancient temple complex that bore witness to the glorious civilization of the spirit realm was completely erased from existence.]
Every river of memory, composed of runes of pure will and recording the history and heritage of Hell, dried up and ceased to flow under his aura.
[Each statue, its divine essence shattered amidst the greyish-white light, witnessed the annihilation of a true god's fallen form.]
Everything, everything, was playing out repeatedly in slow motion within the core of his bloodthirsty will.
As the ultimate being who governs the rules of slaughter, after ascending to the level of a transcendent being, and especially after personally experiencing the final baptism of hell and the spirit world, his understanding of the essence of slaughter has already leaped forward.
Is the true meaning of killing really so profound and vast?
[A chilling torrent of enlightenment flows through Ye Lingtian's core will; the killing he now wields has long since broken free from the shackles of merely ending life.]
That was the complete death of a culture!
That is the eternal silence of history and knowledge!
That was the world's own death throes!!
[All things in the universe, all existence, tangible and intangible, are subject to the supreme law of slaughter in their birth, existence, and annihilation.]
Everything can be killed!
All laws can be slain!
What resonated with him even more, in a chilling way, was the shared idealism and conviction.
As he unleashes this boundless carnage in Hell and the Spirit Realm, dragging his enemies into eternal doom, the unwavering conviction deep within his heart to protect the Loyal Heart Society and his comrades-in-arms will roar forth.
These protective beliefs, far from conflicting with this destructive power, acted as a powerful catalyst, making his control over this ultimate rule even more comprehensive and insightful.
From another perspective, killing is also a form of protecting life!
This is not a paradox, but the coldest and most real law of the universe!
We must not fail to completely eradicate the source of the threat, nor completely eliminate the existence of the enemy.
Therefore, those who fall, bleed, and perish will surely be my comrades-in-arms, my fellow countrymen, and my descendants, with whom I share the same blood.
This unwavering commitment to protection is the core and driving force behind his insatiable killing intent.
[And when the horrific scene of hell being utterly destroyed was precisely recalled in his recollection, Ye Lingtian clearly sensed a deeper shift in the chains of killing rules he wielded.]
Its structure became denser than ever before, its sharpness restrained to the extreme, yet emanating a deadly chill that could freeze one's soul.
That wasn't simply a surge in power, but a deeper, more fundamental control that reached the very essence of the rules.
[A sense of closer and clearer connection to the ultimate meaning of killing!]
This is a feeling that transcends language and can only be understood intuitively.
Therefore, he felt that this might be the path he would have to take in the future! (End of Chapter)
