What are they... doing?
A Lu found True Lord Yu's change in attitude somewhat strange. Seeing this, Jin Ling communicated with him through voice transmission. This is the difference between the world and the individual.
As she spoke, Jin Ling could not help revealing a hint of envy in the way she looked at A Lu.
From the very beginning of your path, Teacher Yu Chen protected you very well. He carefully mapped out your road for you. All you needed to do was proceed step by step toward your future. The only time your life was ever truly at risk was when you fought Amaterasu for the sun's origin. Add to that your special status in Fusang, as well as Buddhism's attitude toward Teacher Yu Chen, and you gained quite a few benefits from the Buddhist sect. It could be said that from the very beginning of your cultivation, you never had to worry about the origin you would command in the future.
Perhaps that is precisely why you misunderstand the concept of origin. For an ordinary third-rank cultivator, obtaining even a share of the origin you currently possess would require decades of painstaking scheming before success was even possible. That is also why there are so few third-rank cultivators in the Central Plains, and why those who emerge rarely fall back down.
"But to Heaven and Earth, most third-rank cultivators are merely tools for better operating its origins and maintaining the world's stability. In Heaven and Earth's eyes, cultivators of third-rank status are likewise things that can be sacrificed. Just like now—so long as the other party is brought into its own system, it does not matter who commands the corresponding origin. In the end, the meat will rot in one's own pot."
A Lu was no fool.
