The pressure was really terrifying. Gu Qingyang had only experienced similar pressure on Su Yue. But Su Yongke had never targeted him like this.
The old man in front of him gave him the feeling that he really wanted to kill him. In an instant, just an instant, he felt that he was about to die.
However, after Gu Qingyang heard what the old man said, he completely understood what he meant.
He immediately understood that what the old man asked was exactly what he expected.
He knew that what this old man really cared about was all sentient beings. On the surface, the old man was talking about rice, which seemed to be insignificant food.
But in fact, what this old man cares about is the future of all living beings. The old man asked him "food" not because he wanted to know how the food was, but because he wanted to know about all living beings.
The profound meaning of that sentence is that if he, Gu Qingyang, really becomes a climate, how will he, Gu Qingyang, treat all living beings?
Destroy, exterminate, or treat it well?
This... should be the answer that the old man is most concerned about.
After thinking of this, Gu Qingyang couldn't help but ask himself deep in his heart how he would treat all living beings.
However, to this... the response from his cold heart was, if you want to help, then help. If you want to kill, then kill them.
Kill them all.
Three words, one answer. The moment he got the answer, a cold smile appeared on Gu Qingyang's face.
At the same moment, seeing Gu Qingyang like this, the old man couldn't help but scream in his heart, but he could only intimidate Gu Qingyang.
"meal?"
"Rice, in the final analysis, requires people to rely on their own hands to fight for it. There are bound to be people in this world who don't have enough to eat."
"In places we can't see, in places we can't reach, there are people who are destined to be busy and running around for a meal."
"In my eyes."
"A person lives for food. As long as he tries his best to fight for it, there is nothing to regret. It is normal to fight for one's life."
"Of course, such people are respectable. But there are still some people who clearly have the ability to fight but don't fight for it. Instead, they wait for the salvation of others."
"Such a person is disrespectful."
"However, whether it is the former or the latter, when I want to save them, I may save them. If I don't want to save them, then naturally I won't save them."
"When I help others, it's out of love. It's just because of the emotions deep in my heart. It's just that."
"It's my duty not to help others. I'm just one of the many living beings in this wild world. I just need to be myself, that's all."
…
When Gu Qingyang reached this point, the old man's expression was quite normal. Obviously, he didn't think there was anything wrong with Gu Qingyang's words.
But then, Gu Qingyang's expression suddenly became much more ferocious, and his eyes were full of terrifying murderous intent.
"But if they block my way, then I'm sorry, but I have only one answer, and that is to kill."
"Those people...if I want to help them out of my heart, I will naturally help them. If I don't want to help them out of my heart, then I won't help."
"If it's anyone who blocks the way, kill them."
"Kill them all, this is my answer."
"It was like this in the past, and it is like this now. In the future, my answer will still be like this. I am who I am, and I am a villain, a big devil."
"Old man, what do you think of me?"
"Do you think I look like a heinous person?"
…
Gu Qingyang was talking fiercely, and when he spoke these words, there was more or less anger in his words.
And his face, expression, and eyes became increasingly cold. It was a kind of indifference belonging to a superior being, an attitude of indifference to everything.
As for the old man, he always stood there and stared at him silently.
When Gu Qingyang said these words, the old man really felt that the Gu Qingyang in front of him would make him feel extremely strange.
But when Gu Qingyang's eyes changed, he felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have not changed.
When they first met, he had an idea and did something he wanted.
Therefore, he gave the Blue Blood Pill Heart Token to this young man.
At that time, he only thought that this young man had a tendency to become possessed by demons. His original intention... was to induce people to do good through the Blue Blood Pill Heart Order.
Gu Qingyang was willing to save him, which made him feel that Gu Qingyang was a kind-hearted person. He felt that with a little guidance, Gu Qingyang could do good.
But the facts prove that——
So far, it seems that he was wrong. Because Gu Qingyang's thoughts were obviously extremely deep, so deep that they far exceeded his expected cognition.
It is true that Gu Qingyang has good thoughts in his heart, but Gu Qingyang also has evil thoughts deep in his heart, and most of them are endless evil thoughts.
If we really want to compare, the ratio of good thoughts to evil thoughts should be one to nine, which is an extremely disparate comparison.
In other words...if we really want to talk about it, out of 10% of Gu Qingyang's emotions, 90% are evil, and only 10% are good.
He believed that was the case.
He did not have any doubts about Gu Qingyang's kindness, because the identification of the owner of the Blue Blood Pill Heart Order was enough to explain everything.
He did not lie to Gu Qingyang, and there was no lie in what he said. Everything he had said so far had been true.
The inheritance of the Blue Blood Pill Heart Token is true.
Those who do not have great intentions and are dedicated to cultivating the gods cannot inherit the inheritance of the "Ancient Gods". This is a secret that all the previous masters of the Eternal Life Palace know.
It's just... Gu Qingyang's heart is already so complicated. So what exactly does Gu Qingyang plan and what kind of future does he plan to move towards?
After having this thought in his mind, the old man couldn't help but feel depressed.
Frankly speaking, he didn't want to kill Gu Qingyang at all. He never even thought about killing this special young man.
He is not one of those stubborn people, he is a very open-minded person about many things. He can look at many things from a rational perspective.
If not, he wouldn't have chosen that way in the first place.
But now it seems that his original choice has successfully contributed to the growth of a super devil.
Now, this young man yearns for the ultimate demonic path and is filled with the desire for destruction. Instead, it seemed like it was his fault.
"Old man, you don't have to think too much."
"Actually, my idea is very simple. I am just pursuing the ultimate freedom. I just want the world to know the truth."
"The way of heaven is not benevolent. It treats all things as stupid dogs and all living beings as chess pieces in its hands. It always likes to arrange some true fate, destiny, and fate for others."
"I do not like this."
"I just kill it, and then tell it before it dies that it can't survive, and the next era will definitely belong to true freedom."
"You, others...you are all pawns in the hands of Heaven. When I really stand in that position, all living beings are no longer important."
"What?"
Hearing Gu Qingyang's words, the old man couldn't help but widen his eyes. Obviously, he did not want to believe Gu Qingyang's statement.
But...even though Gu Qingyang's statement was a little ridiculous, it still gave him an inexplicable sense of identity.
"You still remember that girl?"
Speaking of this, Gu Qingyang paused for a moment, his eyes red, and then said slowly in an extremely gentle tone:
"She's dead."
"Died in the heavy rain after my death. Everything I have now was given to me by her sacrifice of everything she had."
"I... I once swallowed her bones one by one, refined her flesh and blood, and refined everything about her to transform my own demonic bones."
"Since then, I have cultivated the most perfect Life Bone Realm, and since then I have embarked on the path I once walked on again."
"I move forward step by step, perfect step by step."
"When I reached the sixth level of perfection, I vowed to get back everything I lost. I have always remembered my vow."
"When I reached the seventh level of perfection, I saw my own heart clearly and saw my own sins. I saw myself clearly."
""Destruction, terror, rage! "
"Hate, despair, struggle!"
"Killing intent, extermination, annihilation!"
"This is the anger deep in my heart, the darkest thing in my heart. It may be my desire to destroy the world at any time."
"To be honest, I don't love this world at all. I don't feel anything about anything in this world."
"But the people I care about like them."
"I know that they like the sun, moon and stars in the sky, the mountains, rivers and vegetation... they still like the world itself."
"So...if I haven't reached the last step, I won't destroy the world. The most I can do is change the world."
"This is because of my tenth sin."
"Its name is tenderness."
"I will only treat the people I care about with extreme tenderness. As for other people, it doesn't matter. As long as they don't block the way, they can do whatever they want."
"Moreover, I have been bearing the sins of all the sentient beings you call them. I have buried the fire of freedom deep in their souls."
Speaking of this, Gu Qingyang smiled lightly.
Then his expression became intense.
He cleared his throat and said loudly:
"If one day, if one day they don't want to continue to sink, then as long as they use their souls to scream!"
"Then they can know the truth and find a way to freedom that suits them. I will give a treasure to all of them."
"As long as they really want to!"
"As long as they want freedom!"
"Then let them pursue it! If I succeed, old man, then this world will become extremely interesting."
"All living beings have the opportunity to break through the ultimate shackles of the sixteenth realm, and all living beings have the opportunity to touch the seventeenth realm."
"Hehehehehehahahahaha——"
At the end of his words, Gu Qingyang in his inner world suddenly turned around and walked in one direction. Then he slowly disappeared.
And at that moment, only the old man was still looking at his back in a daze. After a long time, the old man murmured in disbelief:
"Seventeen...seventeenth realm?"
