Chen Yang fell into his own inner demons.
Just because he is no longer the same person as before. He knew that he was a clone, the same person as Chen Qingyi and Chen Wuji.
He clearly knows that the task he has is important. The lives of everyone here are nothing but matter and molecules. What he has to do is to use all possible means to kill Chen Hongmeng. He clearly knew that saving Luo Tianyao and Qin Yunshuang was a waste of time, and he also knew that saving Meng Qingchen now was stupid.
But he didn't dare to really give up on them...
He sticks to his Taoist heart. He felt that if he really regarded these people as matter and molecules and continued to practice like this, there would definitely be big problems.
He felt that he would become the second Hongmeng Taoist!
Master Hongmeng is not a born evil person, it is just because he has reached that level of cultivation and is no longer interested in other things. Taoist Master Hongmeng doesn't want to be a walking dead, so he is trying his best to find things that can stimulate him.
Chen Yang didn't want to be that kind of person without emotions, who regarded all living beings in the world as useless molecules and matter.
When the body's emotions are indifferent, the higher the cultivation level, the more indifferent and emotionless it will be. Until later, no one or anything can resonate with one's emotions.
Therefore, saving Meng Qingchen is also saving yourself.
If he regards himself as a clone, he will really become a clone and a tool.
At this time, Lan Ziyi and Meng Qingchen saw Chen Yang in a daze and couldn't help asking together: "What are you thinking about?"
Chen Yang came back to his senses, smiled, and said: "I was thinking that all moral principles are just the moral principles of us people. Just like other animals, they don't care about our moral principles at all. Kill a group of innocent people , we will feel guilty. If you cook a pot of ants, you won’t feel anything. Humans eat a lot of creatures every day, and it is just a kind of energy conversion and circulation. "
Lan Ziyi and Meng Qingchen were both stunned. They didn't understand what Chen Yang meant, but they seemed to understand something.
Chen Yang continued: "Heaven, hell, and reincarnation are all just human imagination. Life and death are the conversion of energy. Life is the transformation of energy through various gatherings. Death is the return to the void of the universe... ...To be dead means to have never been born or existed. Except for those who are alive, they will still remember that in the universe, it is nothing but energy!"
Lan Ziyi and Meng Qingchen couldn't refute Chen Yang's words, and they knew what he said was true.
Lan Ziyi asked in confusion: "Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
Chen Yang said: "Just now, Miss Meng said that she felt very guilty for killing so many innocent elves in the past. I started to think about what life and death represent. Life and death are what we living people care about, and moral principles are the most important thing for us humans. It’s something we abide by during our time. It’s actually a kind of self-restraint we have... When it dies, it all turns into energy and nothing exists anymore.”
Lan Ziyi hesitated and said, "You mean... no matter how many people you kill, it doesn't matter?"
Chen Yang shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant."...
Lan Ziyi said displeasedly: "Then what do you mean?"
Chen Yang said: "If you see through the essence of everything, you will feel that everything is meaningless. The real meaning of life lies in not seeing through, in perseverance, and in self-belief!"
He is always enlightening and learning.
Although he later cultivated to the point of quasi-sage, it does not mean that he has understood everything.
Back then, he was the original body and had relatives and friends he cared about, so he never thought about these things.
He must fight for his family and loved ones.
Now, he has to consider the world, all sentient beings, and more importantly, the meaning of his own existence.
Sometimes, Chen Yang felt that he had seen everything.
Sometimes, he felt that he didn't see everything through.
At this moment, he finally confirmed that what he did was right.
Saving Luo Tianyao, saving Qin Yunshuang, teaching Master Canglong, keeping his promise to Ruth, including currently saving Meng Qingchen, these are the principles and meaning of his life. If all these things are gone, then all the birth and death of the universe will be meaningless to him.
Chen Yang's eyes gradually became firmer, and there was no longer any confusion.
Lan Ziyi and Meng Qingchen also realized that Chen Yang seemed to have figured something out.
