Innate Personality
"Why?" Zul'ra couldn't deny that the Sin'dorei's ideology and stance were dangerous, and if necessary, they could really side with the Burning Legion. But why would M'uru drag the Sin'dorei out of this fate?
"Why why?" Mulu was a little stunned when facing Sang La.
"Why stop the Sin'dorei's fate? Why stop their fall? What good will it do you?" Zul'ra asked.
"Isn't this a good thing in itself? To stop the forces that would destroy the world, to increase the forces that would protect the world, to save the Sin'dorei from their fate of corruption..." M'uru said quite naturally, but then he stopped.
It's normal to let the Sin'dorei escape their corrupt fate, but why are the Sin'dorei corrupt in the first place? It's understandable that the Burning Legion is corrupt, but the Sin'dorei don't seem to have joined the Burning Legion yet.
M'uru could see this from Zul'ra's memories: the Sin'dorei were still struggling. If they had joined the Legion, they should have gone mad instead of struggling. The Sin'dorei hadn't joined the Burning Legion, meaning they hadn't fallen. So the question is, why redeem them? They didn't need redemption, at least not now.
What does "redemption" itself represent? It means helping others to reclaim what they have lost. But the Sin'dorei haven't fallen yet. Since they haven't lost anything, why should I redeem them? They will fall in the future, and I'm trying to stop them now. Is that redemption? If not, then what am I doing?
One problem after another arose, M'uru was rendered speechless.
"M'uru," Zul'ra shouted, pulling M'uru back from his daze.
Have you thought it through?
"What have you decided?" M'uru didn't know how to answer.
"Have you thought about how to save yourself?" Zul'ra asked with a smile.
"I don't understand what I'm doing. Why am I trying to save the Sin'dorei? And why do the Sin'dorei need to be saved? Do they even need to be saved?" M'uru bombarded him with questions, indicating his utter confusion.
"I can answer you, do you want to hear it?" Zul'ra looked at the confused M'uru and couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.
"Yes," M'uru said without hesitation.
"Redemption is wrong," Zul'ra declared.
"What?" M'uru's voice was filled with surprise and disbelief. Redemption was a mistake?
"Redemption is wrong. If there truly is redemption, then the only ones who can redeem the Sin'dorei are themselves, not you." Zul'ra explained the root of the problem to M'uru. Only the Sin'dorei themselves can change Sin'dorei fate. Therefore, the idea that M'uru should embrace fate to redeem the Sin'dorei is fundamentally incorrect.
"So, what I've done is completely meaningless, isn't it?" M'uru couldn't help but tremble. The fate he had decided to embrace was a mistake. What was the point of what he was doing now, of the suffering and torment he was enduring?
"No, I said redemption is wrong, but I didn't deny your idea. Your kindness and tolerance towards the Sin'dorei are admirable, but it stems from your incorrect thinking, which leads to your wrong actions. However, this might also redeem the Sin'dorei." Zul'ra sensed M'uru's fluctuations and quickly tried to salvage the situation; he didn't want this guy to turn evil.
"Why? Your words seem to contradict themselves greatly." M'uru's words were filled with strong doubt. The person before him had overturned his thoughts and actions, and denied the fate he had foreseen.
"Those contradictions are only in your perception, and you yourself have doubts about yourself," Zul'ra countered M'uru's accusations.
"Then tell me, if my actions were wrong, why was redemption still possible? If redemption is wrong, why does it exist?" M'uru asked.
"First, the first question, sacrifice. Your sacrifice might change the Sin'dorei, allowing them to successfully redeem themselves. The redemption I'm talking about is wrong; it's just from one perspective. Most importantly, this world isn't about opposites." Zul'ra answered M'uru's questions one by one, reiterating a principle: just because something denies him doesn't mean he has no reason to exist.
"Isn't this world a world of opposites?" M'uru asked with skepticism upon hearing Zul'ra's reiteration, for in his understanding, the world was indeed a world of opposites.
"Yes, not adversarial, and in terms of stance, we are not always on the same side. We are constantly shifting, but I think we are in the middle most of the time." Zul'ra described her perception of the world to M'uru: the world is colorful.
"An interesting point, but I don't think it's correct. You say the world is constantly changing, but what about the Legion?" M'uru disagreed with Zul'ra's viewpoint and cited the Legion as an example. From its inception to the present, the Legion has been relentlessly destroying the world, and that's their goal. Are they doing this to save the world?
"Do you know the origins of the Legion?" Zul'ra understood M'uru's motivation for using the Legion as an example, because the Naaru's purpose was to resist the Burning Legion.
"Of course, they are a collection of chaotic and evil creatures, acting with the goal of destroying the world." M'uru answered without hesitation. This knowledge was etched into his memory, and his mission, as well as that of the other Naaru, was to save the worlds and beings destroyed by the Legion, even at the Consecration their own lives.
"Besides these?" Zul'ra asked in return.
"What else?" M'uru, somewhat confused.
"Do you know the leader of the Burning Legion?" Zul'ra asked with amusement. Just as M'uru had expressed his doubts about him, he also harbored suspicions about M'uru. In their brief encounter, he had already grasped some of the characteristics of the Naaru.
Kindness and compassion are the nature of the Naaru, and this is their foundation. The Naaru have evolved into a selfless race, with their mission to fight against the Legion and save the world and life. All of this is good, except that they have these qualities engraved in their genes, as if they were born to oppose the Legion.
Although M'uru inherited the nature of the Naaru, as a living being, he also possessed his own unique personality. He faithfully fulfilled his mission, but in the process, doubts still lingered in his heart. However, due to his nature, he could not stop what he was doing and willingly allowed himself to be captured by the Sin'dorei, whereupon he suffered torment.
"Do you mean Kil'jaeden, or Archimonde?" M'uru asked, slightly puzzled.
"No, the one above them." Zul'ra rejected the two great demons that M'uru had proposed. Those two were at best deputy managers. The Burning Legion's true general manager was Sargeras. After meeting Banehollow and learning about some of the characteristics of demons, Zul'ra dared not casually mention his name again.
"The Dark Titan!" M'uru was not completely unaware of the Legion's true leader; he knew very well that the Legion's ultimate leader was referred to by a code name rather than his real name.
"What can you tell from his name?" Zul'ra asked.
"What?" M'uru asked, puzzled.
"He was once a Titans, don't you know that?" Zul'ra couldn't help but grin. The Naaru's mind seemed completely inflexible, only able to act according to instinct.
"Titans..." M'uru fell into deep thought. With his vast knowledge, he naturally knew what Titans were: they were the life forms of planets, the shapers of worlds, the cradles of countless lives. But why had such beings fallen?
Why did Sargeras fall from grace, and why does the Burning Legion want to destroy the world? These two questions broke through the limitations and constraints, M'uru felt as if a door had suddenly opened for him. If he could find the reason for the Burning Legion's corruption, could he stop their atrocities?
"Your thinking is quite unique." M'uru snapped out of his reverie and offered his praise to Zul'ra.
"It's alright." Zul'ra looked at M'uru, who had come to his senses, and tilted his head. He felt that this guy had opened a door, but hadn't actually left the house!
"Let's talk about Sin'dorei!" M'uru steered the conversation back on track. He instinctively avoided continuing the conversation with Zul'ra and focused his attention on the issues he had to face. Because of this instinct, he unconsciously developed some agreement and acceptance towards Zul'ra.
"Okay." Zul'ra did not refuse M'uru. Naaru was very mysterious. It was enough that she had gained some recognition from M'uru at this stage. It was not appropriate to pursue it any further now, otherwise it would be bad if something uncontrollable happened.
There was no more at night.
