Only at this moment did he realize that both Su Jiu's hatred and the Vermilion Bird's hatred had arisen from irreversible consequences, and that hatred like this could not be dissolved.
Because hatred like this would only turn into obsessive fixation.

This time, it was the spirit source's turn to be stunned. "Only the one who tied the bell can untie it. Naturally, I can't do that. I only wanted her to see herself clearly."
"You should know that although all of you know she has developed a heart demon, she herself actually doesn't."
"You should have all received the negative emotions she produced just now. Why don't you guess what kind of decision she would make if she had truly made up her mind now?"
