What Does It Mean for the Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son to Want to Destroy the Holy Spirit Cult?

The hotel's warm yellow lights flowed quietly, falling upon Ye Guyi's pale yet breathtakingly beautiful face.

After the shock of having her worldview overturned, immense confusion and doubt still lingered in her heart.

The young man before her was far too mysterious, far too abnormal. He had completely shattered everything she had understood over the past decade or so about good and evil, sects, and factions.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Guyi suppressed the turmoil in her heart, raised her eyes to look directly at Li Changsheng, and asked the most crucial and incomprehensible question weighing on her mind.

This was what she cared about most right now, what she found hardest to understand, and the most fatal issue of all.

"Since you are the Holy Son of the Holy Spirit Cult and wield its authority."

"Why would you establish rules that bind yourself and restrain the entire cult?"

"And although I don't know who the Holy Spirit Cult's higher-ups are, I know they are all old tyrants who have lived for centuries—proud, calculating people with schemes that run deep."

"So why would they willingly obey your commands?"

"What benefits could you possibly offer to make them bow their heads and serve you?"

Ye Guyi's gaze was clear, but full of cautious suspicion.

She had a sharp mind and had already calmed down.

Even if he possessed pure divine power of life, even if he killed evil soul masters who committed wicked deeds, even if he had overturned the Holy Spirit Cult's way of doing things—

Human hearts were unfathomable, and the game was complicated. There had to be some hidden catch she did not know about.

There had never been free submission in this world, much less powerful tyrants bowing their heads without cause.

The Holy Spirit Cult had entrenched itself across the continent for ten thousand years. Its rulers were even more deeply scheming, calculating every step. How could they truly submit to a mere youth?

Facing her guarded, probing gaze, Li Changsheng remained calm and did not conceal anything. He spoke lightly, revealing his ultimate trump card in a single sentence:

"Because what I can give them is an opportunity they could never dare dream of, even after exhausting their lives and cultivating bitterly for centuries."

The simple words drifted softly to the ground, yet they contained enough leverage to shake the balance of the entire continent.

Ye Guyi's pupils narrowed slightly as she was about to press him further.

But in the next instant, Li Changsheng changed the subject. In an indifferent tone, he spoke a shocking secret that rattled her very soul:

"As for why I established new rules and reformed the cult's laws."

"The reason is simple."

"This faction, drenched in blood from the moment of its birth and sustained by evil, should never have existed in this world."

"I entered the Holy Spirit Cult, seized the Holy Son's authority, and took command of the entire cult. My ultimate goal is to destroy it with my own hands—to wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult completely!"

Boom!

At that moment, Ye Guyi's mind went completely blank!

It was as though the blood throughout her body had frozen in an instant, leaving her utterly rigid on the bed.

Her beautiful eyes flew open to their widest. Her pale, peerless face was filled with overwhelming shock, disbelief, and astonishment!

She suspected she had heard him wrong!

She even wondered whether the late hour had muddled her senses and made her ears fail her!

The Holy Spirit Cult's Holy Son wanted to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult with his own hands?

What kind of absurd, heaven-defying, common-sense-shattering move was that?

Since ancient times, those who joined demonic cults had all pursued evil and cruelty, coveted power, and relied on their factions to act without restraint.

There had only ever been people who fought for the position of cult leader, seized control of a demonic cult's power, and strengthened the forces of evil!

She had lived for so many years and witnessed countless conflicts between good and evil, countless struggles among factions. Yet she had never seen a demonic cult's Holy Son painstakingly scheme and lay plans step by step solely to destroy the top faction he belonged to with his own hands!

That was not something any normal person could say. It was absurd beyond measure!

Seeing the girl's stunned expression as her worldview completely collapsed, Li Changsheng remained as calm as ever, without the slightest ripple. He continued, unhurriedly revealing the full scope of his plan:

"You needn't look at me as though this is so shocking."

"Evil soul masters are evil soul masters, in the end."

"No matter how pitiful their origins, how difficult their lives have been, how helpless they were, or what unavoidable past they may have had."

"As long as they choose to advance their cultivation and cling to life through evil methods—bloodlust, devouring souls, slaughtering living beings—and stain their hands with innocent blood, they are burdened with sin and beyond forgiveness."

"These people are all destined to die in the end. No exceptions."

"However, before settling accounts with every evil soul master and destroying the Holy Spirit Cult, Shrek's higher-ups must be destroyed first."

Ye Guyi's heart shook violently, and she instinctively focused on listening.

"For ten thousand years, Shrek has monopolized the continent's right to speak. It flaunts itself as righteous, controls the rules, yet secretly breeds corruption, shelters evil, suppresses dissenters, and practices double standards and tyranny."

"It is precisely because of Shrek's hypocritical rule, deliberate oppression, and monopoly over resources that countless people with nowhere left to turn have been forced onto the path of evil."

"As long as the rotten cancer that is Shrek's upper echelon remains, the imbalance between good and evil, and the injustice of Heaven's Way, will remain forever. Evil soul masters will continue to emerge without end, for all eternity."

After hearing this thorough and lucid plan, Ye Guyi remained stunned for a long while before finally understanding. In an instant, she sorted through every thread of it!

She immediately understood all the causes and consequences!

"So... you joined the Holy Spirit Cult, willingly bore the infamy of the evil path, and gathered the forces of evil."

"Your true goal was to use the Holy Spirit Cult's centuries of accumulated foundation to fight righteousness with evil—to resist, overthrow, and destroy Shrek's lofty orthodox order!"

Li Changsheng nodded slightly, a faint trace of approval flashing through his eyes.

"It seems you're not completely stupid."

That casual remark instantly darkened Ye Guyi's pretty face!

The shock of having her worldview overturned was immediately diluted by more than half, replaced by a surge of indignation!

She promptly puffed out her thin chest and retorted with an adorably haughty air:

"Who are you calling stupid? I was smart to begin with, alright?!"

Ever since childhood, she had been a prodigy among her peers—exceptionally talented and clear-minded. When had anyone ever dismissed her as dull-witted so casually?

Watching her stubbornly act proud, clearly still shaken but forcing herself to put on a brave front, Li Changsheng merely cast her a sidelong glance.

He said nothing, but the disdain and helplessness in his eyes—whatever makes you happy, I suppose—already explained everything.

Silent contempt hurt far more than blunt mockery!

That single look made Ye Guyi's chest rise and fall fiercely. She was furious and aggrieved, her cheeks flushing faintly red.

Yet her entire body was weak and powerless, and her strength was gone. Forget fighting back or confronting him—even sitting up was impossible.

She could neither defeat him nor outargue him. All she could do was swallow her frustration and lie on the bed, stewing in silent anger.

After calming herself for quite a while, Ye Guyi finally suppressed the grievance in her heart. She looked seriously at Li Changsheng once more and voiced her final, and most practical, doubt.

It was also the deadlock that anyone would question:

"Even if you use the Holy Spirit Cult to destroy Shrek."

"What happens after Shrek is gone?"

"When the rabbit is dead, the hunting dogs are cooked; when the birds are gone, the bow is put away."

"The Holy Spirit Cult's higher-ups are deeply calculating. If they know you ultimately intend to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult, why would they willingly risk their lives to help you?"

"They won't sit around and wait to be purged."

"You want to destroy two major factions. That simply isn't realistic!"

This was an unsolvable deadlock—the most realistic aspect of human nature!

Hearing this, Li Changsheng's lips curved into a faint, unfathomable smile. His eyes held absolute composure, as though everything were already under his control.

Without haste, he spoke softly, leaving endless suspense in his words:

"Whether it's realistic or not, we'll find out as we go."

Then his tone shifted. He leaned forward, his eyes locking directly onto Ye Guyi's clear gaze. His voice was gentle, yet it struck precisely at her heart:

"Now, I only want to ask you one question."

"From the bottom of your heart, do you want the Holy Spirit Cult, which has committed evil for a thousand years and brought calamity upon the world, to disappear completely from this continent?"

That single sentence struck precisely at Ye Guyi's true heart and convictions.

As the inheritor of the Holy Angel, her life's pursuit had always been to destroy evil, uphold righteousness, purge the darkness, and restore clarity to the world.

Thus, the question struck straight at her soul, leaving her no way to avoid it.
