Thoughts

"Their thinking has transcended the common notion of good and evil in life, and they are not swayed by emotions such as guilt."

The eternal beings stand at the pinnacle of the universe, their vision encompassing the rise and fall of countless universes, their thinking having ascended to a height that transcends the mundane.

For them, the life and death of an individual or the existence of a universe are merely minor episodes in the process of cosmic development, and cannot be measured by the standards of good and evil of ordinary life.

Yun Xi listened silently, her heart filled with complex emotions.

The horrific scene of the old universe's destruction kept flashing through her mind, where those once vibrant lives vanished in the destruction, their joys and sorrows, their dreams and pursuits, all vanished in that moment.

But she had to admit that the birth of the new universe that Eternal Red spoke of did indeed contain infinite possibilities.

The Eternal Red floated beside Yun Xi, its light becoming softer, as if conveying warmth and comfort to Yun Xi.

It said softly, "Yun Xi, although in the eyes of the eternal being, life is like energy, for those of you who have not yet reached that level, life is meaningful and concrete."

"Yun Xi, everyone's life journey is unique, just like the twinkling stars in the night sky, each with its own trajectory and brilliance."

The Eternal Red continued, its voice gentle yet powerful, "Before you even touch the Eternal Realm, every encounter and every emotion in your life is an invaluable treasure. Those friends and family you've made on your cultivation journey, whether good or bad..."

"These emotions and experiences constitute your life and give it unique meaning. They are like sparkling pearls, stringing together your rich and colorful life."

"Moreover, perhaps one day in the future, you too can become an eternal being. At that time, you may have new insights and choices."

"In the process of reaching the Eternal Realm, you will continuously grow and transform. The beliefs and values you currently uphold may change in the future, but this does not mean that they will disappear."

Yun Xi a deep breath, trying to calm the turbulent emotions surging within her.

She gazed at the Eternal Red, her eyes filled with determination, and slowly said, "I understand what you mean. Now I should indeed cherish the present, value the people around me, and cherish every experience."

But I also think that even if one day I truly break through to the Eternal Realm, I'm afraid I won't be able to abandon these current emotions and beliefs, nor will I be able to regard life as nothing.

Otherwise, how is she any different from that Eternal Supreme of the Abnormal Race? Can she casually use the lives of the entire universe as bargaining chips and tear them apart at will?

The Eternal Red surrounded Yun Xi, drifting slowly, its light swaying gently in the Tranquil City space, as if pondering how to answer.

"Yun Xi, actually, there is no absolute answer to this question. After reaching the Eternal Realm, you will stand at a completely new height to view the universe and all things."

As you said, this doesn't mean you have to completely abandon your past emotions and beliefs. Perhaps you can transform these valuable experiences into a unique strength, integrating them into your pursuit of higher truths.

Yun Xi pondered for a moment, then asked, "If one day, when I truly stand at that height and face the vastness and complexity of the universe, will these past emotions become a burden to me?"

Just like you said, the Eternal Existence of thought transcends ordinary human notions of good and evil, while my judgments of good and evil, based on emotion, might hinder my choices at crucial moments.

This is also a point of contradiction for Yun Xi. She actually feels a rare inner conflict, and she could ask the Eternal Red for help in understanding it.

"Your concerns are not unfounded. On an eternal level, decisions often take into account the longer-term, more expansive cosmic order. But emotions are not entirely a burden. They can allow you to maintain your humanity in the process of seeking truth."

Take me, for example. When he destroyed the old universe to create a new one, it wasn't a mindless, mechanical operation. He made that decision only after countless weighings and considerations during his journey to break through eternity.

Perhaps deep down, he also felt regret for the life in the old universe, but for the sake of a grander goal, he had to painfully give it up.

As for later, after the universe was destroyed and reborn countless times, he had grown tired of living... The words of Eternal Red carried a trace of vicissitude and helplessness.

"I understand, thank you, Hong Hong," Yun Xi said softly, the mist in her eyes gradually dissipating, replaced by clarity and determination.

She knew that although she could not yet fully comprehend the realm and mind of Eternal Existence, she at least understood what she should cherish and uphold in the present moment.

"Yun Xi, no matter what, I will help you condense the Eternal Heart. When you have your own Eternal Core and truly reach the Eternal Realm, you will be able to control the entire universe, and I won't need to stay in your soul all day anymore." The Eternal Red's voice carried a hint of anticipation and relief, and the light around it became even brighter, as if it was cheering for the moment that was about to arrive.

"I will do my best," Yun Xi said firmly.

After all, the current situation doesn't allow Yun Xi retreat. The Abnormal Race Supreme is watching with predatory eyes ahead, and the Purple Crystal Mountain Senior's primal wound needs healing behind her.

The 'mother' of the senior from Purple Crystal Mountain is probably of a similar rank to the Terror God King Fiend and the being behind the system.

Considering that Senior Purple Crystal Mountain could severely injure the God King Fiend who was previously killed by her and the Water God Lin Yuan with just one mountain, several Purple Crystal Mountain are equivalent to the combined strength of that 'Mother' after she transformed.

Based on this, it can be inferred that the power of the Terror God King Fiend Guiwei and the power of the person behind the system must also be extremely terrifying.

The Terror God King Fiend has the backing of the Abnormal Race's Eternal Supreme being, so it can 'violate the contract'. But since it is still wary of the one behind the system, it means that the one behind the system may also have an eternal-level being as a backer, or perhaps, He/She is an eternal-level being himself?

No, that's highly unlikely. After all, only one eternal being can exist in a universe. If the one behind the system is already eternal, the Terror God King Fiend wouldn't still be here.

After all, the Terror God King Fiend Guiyi's goal is very clear: it seems to be aiming for the eternal throne...

This felt like a dark cloud hanging over Yun Xi's heart, but she quickly shook her head firmly, no longer letting these complicated and currently unsolvable thoughts occupy her mind.
