Deva Path of Pain watched Zhu Zhuqing silently. Only after she gradually calmed down did he ask in a commanding voice,

"Do you know... what the root cause of all this is?"

Hearing Deva Path of Pain's words, Zhu Zhuqing's delicate body trembled. She gritted her teeth and thought for a long time before answering somewhat despairingly.

"The root cause of all this is the law of the jungle. Dai Mubai's family is the imperial family. He was born with noble status, and his father controls the power of the entire empire. My family had no choice but to rely on them, because only then could we survive... For the sake of survival, my family had no choice but to abandon me and make me a pawn in the royal struggle. I worked desperately hard, convinced myself to accept my fate, followed Dai Mubai, and entered Shrek Academy... I thought that through my efforts, I was no longer that pawn. But I never expected that I still was. I have the lowest status in the entire team. Other than Dai Mubai, I have no one to rely on. Once I leave Dai Mubai, I am nothing..."

By this point, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were already filled with killing intent, and her voice trembled. Then she suddenly raised her head, looked at Pain, and shouted,

"The root cause of everything is... this world. There is something wrong with this world. Whether it is Heaven Dou or Star Luo... it is the same everywhere. Without powerful talent or a powerful background, you are destined to have no status. You are destined to become a pawn. No matter how much injustice you suffer, you can only endure it. They can even twist black into white and place all the blame on me."

"You're right..."

Ye Chen was very satisfied with Zhu Zhuqing's realization. Thus, Deva Path of Pain gazed at her with those Rinnegan and said seriously,

"Akatsuki's goal is to create an entirely new world, a world where everyone feels happy. In that world, there is no war, no nobility, no competition. Everyone can receive the love and happiness they desire most deeply... That is true peace, a truly perfect world."

"A perfect world?"

Zhu Zhuqing could not help feeling astonished. After recovering her senses, she immediately asked the question she had already asked when she first came.

"But can such a world really be created? Most men in this world are greedy, selfish, and lustful... To satisfy the happiness of some people, even more people must fall into suffering. Even those close to each other become jealous of one another. No method could possibly allow everyone to obtain happiness, could it?"

"That's right."

Deva Path of Pain once again affirmed Zhu Zhuqing's words before continuing,

"But it is not impossible. The method is... to obtain an immense amount of soul power and activate the Infinite Tsukuyomi, allowing everyone to live in a dream and feel the happiness and beauty they desire most deeply. There would no longer be war or conflict between people... Everyone could gain eternal life and obtain the happiness they desire most deeply. That would be a truly perfect world."

"What? Infinite Tsukuyomi, living in a dream..."

Zhu Zhuqing did not quite understand, and she could not help saying,

"Would that still be a real world?"

After thinking for a moment, Ye Chen had Deva Path of Pain answer her.

"Can you be certain... that you are living in the real world right now? Have you ever considered how Soul Masters, Soul Beasts, and empires came into being? As long as humanity lives in this world, it will never achieve true peace or attain true happiness. That is because this world was created by the Divine Realm, which exists one dimension above you. They left behind the legend of becoming a god at level one hundred, causing everyone to long to become Soul Masters. Everyone fights and struggles, all wanting to become gods..."

"As a result, powerful sects with large numbers of Soul Masters emerge, as do nobles who control powerful Soul Masters... In a world like this, true peace can never be achieved. Even if someone truly breaks through level one hundred and becomes a god years from now, there will surely be mountains of corpses and seas of blood behind them. In a world created by the God Clan, humanity can never obtain true freedom... Only the Infinite Tsukuyomi can allow everyone to break free from the God Clan's shackles, gain true freedom in their hearts, and remain happy forever. That is what it truly means to become a god."

Ye Chen had Deva Path of Pain say so much, but Zhu Zhuqing still looked utterly confused. So he continued speaking to her through Deva Path of Pain.

"In the world of the Infinite Tsukuyomi... you can restart your life. You can return to your childhood and no longer be Dai Mubai's child bride. Your parents will love you deeply, your relatives will cherish you dearly, and your family will no longer be impoverished nobles who need to rely on the imperial family to survive. Instead, they will become true royalty. You can save all the commoners trapped in suffering in your own way."

"What? Th-this is real? I can restart my life, have a happy childhood, receive my parents' love, and be cherished by my relatives?"

Her beautiful eyes stared blankly at Deva Path of Pain. At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes had already brimmed with tears.

She could not stop herself from imagining it. If she really could return to that time, no longer become Dai Mubai's child bride, and no longer have a family that needed to depend on the imperial family to survive, she could be a carefree and happy little girl. What a wonderful thing that would be...
