Hypocritical Peace
After staying at the sanatorium for a while, Jun Changxiao immediately understood that this so-called paradise beyond the world was nothing more than souls and minds controlled by drugs.
Because they worshipped the Realm Lord, they helped one another for mutual benefit.
It could be said that they were merely brainwashed believers, forcibly following certain people's orders to deliberately whitewash peace.
"Cover your own ears, and others won't hear the bell?" Jun Changxiao shook his head.

"The Star Spirit Realm controls Servant Corpses."
"This Hengyuan Realm uses drugs to control living beings."
"They really are cut from the same cloth."
Realm Lords loved to whitewash peace and play the game of covering their ears while stealing bells. Jun Changxiao had little to say about that, but those martial artists forcibly fed drugs had almost all come from other planes.
They might have realized what was happening, which was why they resisted and insisted that they were not insane and did not need medicine.
They were not insane.
The world was what had gone mad.
"This Realm Lord is rather interesting." Jun Changxiao said, "For the sake of some so-called world of universal harmony, he brainwashed living beings into worshipping him, making them help one another and live in perfect accord."

Jun Changxiao looked toward the grandest building in the city and rubbed his chin. "Let's go meet this freak."
With the Spirit of Stealth, he truly could do whatever he pleased. Even strolling brazenly down the main street, he went unnoticed.
Inside the luxurious palace.
