Chapter 786 - 527: Heart of a Bodhisattva
"Eat half of it, and leave quickly."
"The remaining half is for your mother."
The gentle intention transmitted from those dark golden eyes made Ruan Wenping almost unable to believe it, tears instinctively spilled again, blurring his vision as he looked at the deity in front of him.
Yet, the next moment, this sentence carried a sense of hypnosis and suggestion, making the tearful Ruan Wenping straighten his back.
Without wasting any time, he took a bite out of half of what was the best rice ball he had eaten in his life, chewed twice, swallowed, and his entire body felt infused with endless strength, then he began to sprint toward the exit of the Secret Realm.
He had to survive.
He had to take these two items to his mother!!
And the deity-like youth didn’t waste any time, the crown on his head spun rapidly as if communicating with someone, then vanished again, flickering towards the depths of the palace cluster.
...
The fifth hour after entering the Secret Realm.
At this moment, five brilliant trails of shooting stars were darting rapidly across this land.
Dark golden, pink, dark blue, indigo, blood red.
If you looked closely, you would find that the boys and girls among the shooting stars were all wearing black crowns, except the crowns on the girls’ heads appeared somewhat illusory, like borrowed power.
——This was to identify good and evil with the fastest speed and highest efficiency, while simultaneously performing hypnosis and suggestion to make them leave promptly.
In the initial ten minutes, after "friendly" clarification with a Spirit Master who indulged in wanton killing, the situation in the Secret Realm was almost clear.
Including Fa Shun, all five Six-Stars had disappeared, seemingly exploring deeper spaces—matching Fa Shun’s previous statement about restrictions and special areas.
In other words...
The only Six-Star combat power active on the surface of the Secret Realm at this moment was just him.
So Lin Guang made a decision almost instantly.
Explore the entrances to those special areas while clearing the field!
A continent over a hundred kilometers wide might seem vast, but a glance from the air could observe anyone on open ground.
Although it’s a bit troublesome inside buildings, once Lin Guang activated his blessing, the Black Crown became extremely sensitive to various emotions and fluctuations, and the population density during exploration would be relatively high, making clearing more convenient.
When operating at full capacity, the efficiency of everyone was incredibly high.
Lin Guang’s voice sounded in the ears of the other four: "I’ve already rescued seven hundred and twenty-seven people."
"Lisa here has 701 already..."
Vishdair’s voice: "579, killed over seventy, damn it, seems like mom’s cursed with witchcraft, my leg feels a bit numb."
The girl’s voice sounded again: "Is Sister Vishdair alright?!"
"Still okay, I have fire covering, drank a potion, so it’s fine."
Chelina replied concisely: "641."
Zumama softly said: "I have four hundred and forty-three here."
As for Angry Iron Plate...
At this moment, it’s on standby outside the Secret Realm, checking who is maliciously blocking the entrance.
If found, kill them directly.
Lin Guang found another One-Star Spirit Master in poor status in the palace, spent ten seconds purifying him from demonic qi, gave him a rice ball containing a drop of restorative potion, then blinked away, continuing to speak in the channel:
He softly said: "...I’m sorry."
At this moment, Lin Guang could clearly feel that the four girls’ moods were definitely not tranquil.
No matter what, killing was an extremely foreign concept to girls like Lisa and Zumama.
Even if Lin Guang allowed Lisa and Zumama to merely incapacitate others with Spiritual Strong Thought, the cruelty displayed in front of them was undeniably real—after all, even though the demonic qi in the Secret Realm was inexplicably much fainter than imagined, it still could erode the Spirit Masters’ spirits, eliciting their negative emotions.
Lin Guang certainly knew...
In this world, there are always reasons and times that necessitate killing, even Vishdair and Chelina in the past had hands stained with blood.
But killing is still not something to be proud of.
Even if wrapped in a moral judgment, it doesn’t change this fact.
It should never be, and can never become dull.
Moreover, should kids like Lisa and such innocent artisans like Zumama really face such things?
Or rather...
Lin Guang could entirely pretend not to see these tragedies and not waste this time, directly searching for traces of those Six-Stars, the key points of the Secret Realm.
But he promised Monk Fa Shun to save people.
If truth be told, he forced them to face this kind of thing.
However, at this moment, Lisa’s voice suddenly rang out.
"Brother Lin Guang, don’t say sorry."
Zumama gently responded: "I can feel, boss, that you are the one suffering the most."
"......"
How could the four girls not feel...
The dirty deeds, the tragedies they read, all had to traverse through Lin Guang’s mind, and in far more detail.
The mental contamination they felt might be 1, but for Lin Guang, it was 5, or even more.
Because the judgment on whether these people deserved to die was made by Lin Guang acting as a judge behind them.
The Heart of Terra, when fully repaired, is a talent with extremely powerful empathy and extreme sensitivity.
If not, why would it come with the Black Crown, that is to say, the ability of Civilization’s Continuation, which resonates with emotions and memories?
In other words, Lin Guang was judging, deciding the life or death of living people while enduring this empathetic feeling.
