In the illusionary world, Kinnara's evil thoughts slowly began to take over, and his good thoughts were gradually suppressed. He couldn't understand the hatred of Axiu's sacrifice being stigmatized, and the fact that he was expelled for violating the precepts despite successfully spreading the faith. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
He wanted to overthrow these outdated dogmas and build a completely new world.
He wanted to create an ideal world where everyone was equal and not bound by rules and regulations.
When good intentions are completely suppressed and imprisoned in a cage, Moluo appears. He is the Incarnation of Kinnara's evil intentions. When he emerges from the belly of the Great Bright King Peacock, he absorbs the power of the Peacock and completes his power advancement. At the same time, he becomes the complete form— Wutian.
"Senior Brother, Moluo was born of evil thoughts, so why is his behavior not that of a villain, but rather that he wholeheartedly wants to establish an ideal kingdom?"
"Junior sister, you must know that evil thoughts are merely the suppressed emotions and ideas of a living being. They may go against the world's customs, but that does not mean they are wrong."
What is good? What is evil? There is never a fixed standard; it is merely a general consensus among people. As long as it conforms to the understanding of the majority and satisfies the needs and interests of the majority, it is good; otherwise, it is evil.
However, people's perceptions can actually be changed; what is evil today may become good tomorrow.
After hearing Jiang Yun's words, Bixiao felt somewhat confused. How could good and evil be transformed?
However, she didn't dwell on it too much. Instead, she asked seriously, "Do you think Wutian can successfully fulfill Senior Brother Kinnara's obsession? I feel that his behavior is very strange!"
Looking at her serious expression, Jiang Yun realized that her intuition was still sharp and she could always sense something.
"Oh, tell me, what's wrong?"
"The hostile forces within the entire illusionary world are so powerful that Wutian's forces are too weak. Although he himself is strong, he is not inherently evil, so he is inevitably somewhat restrained in his actions. Even with his enemies, he has not been able to kill them."
Unfortunately, what he's about to do will inevitably put him at odds with the entire Three Realms. Change never comes without bloodshed and sacrifice; how can a new Order be established without eliminating those who have already benefited? His idea of a smooth transition is simply indecisiveness and womanly compassion—he's unlikely to achieve great things.
Bixiao had played the roles of a powerful figure like the Willow Deity or the Empress, and now, seeing Wutian's actions in the illusion, she couldn't stand anything about him. If the person inside wasn't her own senior brother, she would have gone up and kicked him a few times!
Jiang Yun, watching the plot unfold outside the Nine Tribulations Tower, couldn't help but marvel at the powerful inertia of the storyline.
"Character determines destiny"—this saying is absolutely true. Regardless of a person's level of Dao Attainment, their behavior depends on their character and cognition.
Therefore, Kinnara ultimately embarked on the path of overthrowing the Three Realms and redefining the rules.
"Yes, you're right. Change isn't like inviting someone over tea, discussing philosophy, or engaging in verbal debates. It can't be that elegant, that unhurried, that refined, that gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, and modest."
Change is a technology, a revolutionary act that can transform the world.
Following Wutian's methods, his obsession is destined to fail, but that's why I'm here!
At this point, Jiang Yun's mind stirred, and he manipulated the illusion within the Nine Tribulations Tower.
This time, with his secret manipulation, Wutian successfully obtained many Sarira. Moreover, under his hints, he also guessed that the Fighting Ape was the last Boneless Sarira. Using this information gap, Wutian successfully prevented Shakya's return and completed his rule over the Three Realms.
Then, following his own ideas, he successfully changed the original Order. An ideal world where everyone was equal and not bound by forest rules and regulations was established under his leadership. Axiu was also resurrected by him, and everything seemed so wonderful.
As time goes by, due to the inherent flaws of living beings, as long as there is a division of labor, there will inevitably be a ruling class. Once a ruling class emerges, hierarchical oppression will also arise. Equality for all people will become like the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror, something that can be longed for but never attained.
The unrestrained emotional entanglements of living beings also caused unimaginable disasters. The descendants of immortals and gods were endless, and the whole world was overwhelmed, with Great Tribulation calamities and frequent disasters. Faced with this situation, Wutian unconsciously began to implement the system that he had opposed in the past.
The dragon slayer becomes the dragon himself; what seems beautiful but becomes rampant becomes a disaster that those in power want to avoid at all costs.
So, he gradually became like Shakya.
Wutian resurrected Axiu to restore his rule, only to find that she was now the only one who dared to criticize him. "You are just as hypocritical as Shakya!" In the end, Axiu committed suicide again, an act that shattered Wutian's psychological defenses.
The scene of Axiu's sacrifice happened again. He closed his eyes tightly, and his aura kept changing. At times it was as pure as water, and at other times it was as black as ink. The good and evil thoughts in his heart kept intertwining and eventually merged into one, and he gradually calmed down.
"The Black Lotus was originally a seed of the Bailian, and I Shakya, but I am not the Buddha."
Thirty-three years of tumultuous upheaval, only today do I realize who I truly am.
Wutian's mind, which had gradually become numb under the rule, was revitalized by the death of Axiu. His sudden enlightenment cleared away the fog above his True Spirit, and he rediscovered his true self.
"Kinnara, you have finally broken through your obsession and escaped your tribulation! Congratulations!"
"Brother Kinnara, congratulations on breaking free from your obsessions and greatly improving your state of mind!"
Kinnara opened his eyes, he found himself outside the tower, where Jiang Yun and Bixiao congratulated him.
Having witnessed the changes in Heavenly Empress of the illusion, Bixiao now had a clear understanding of the transformation between good and evil that Jiang Yun had mentioned earlier.
Both people and rules evolve with the world and the changing times. What was a good system yesterday may be outdated today. What were pioneers of reform yesterday may be remnants of feudalism and conservatism today.
Good and evil are never static.
Although she has experienced so many lives, none have given her such a profound understanding of good and evil.
She had always viewed things from the same perspective, without needing to consider too many complex issues.
Kinnara and Bixiao have both begun to try to break out of their established frameworks and think about problems from a higher perspective, which is truly commendable.
Kinnara smiled slightly and bowed in response to their congratulations.
He felt as if he had been elevated, as if a calamity had been averted, and he felt completely refreshed.
