Chapter 221 Conflict
As the abrupt and absurd idea came to his mind, Chen Shijian couldn't help but take a deep breath.
For some reason, he had a feeling that perhaps his guess was correct.
"Godfather, is it possible that we are on the wrong path?" Suddenly, Chen Shijian spoke in a firm tone.
"What do you mean?" Meng Ning's eyes moved slightly, as if he had expected it, but he pretended to be confused.
The fluctuations of magic power began to spread around Chen Shijian, and a tiny black hole appeared above his fingertips. Looking at the black hole, Chen Shijian spoke.
"I heard from Master Hao Guang that you and Master combined the fruit representing the will of the Dharma Realm and the fruit representing the will of the mortal world during the first causal war."
"Since then, the fortunes of the two worlds have been balanced, the Dharma world has plummeted, and the mortal world has made rapid progress.
But because of this, everyone possessed the power of magic, and the world was in chaos.
My godfather, you had no choice but to suppress the will of the people of the world with your own strength."
"Yes, you are right. Now that I think about it, we were young and frivolous, and acted too hastily, which led to a disaster." Meng Ning nodded, indicating that what Chen Shijian said was correct.
"No, no, no, godfather, you don't have to take the responsibility on yourself. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with what you two did. If I were in your shoes, I would make the same decision." Chen Shijian denied Meng Ning's self-blame.
"Oh? What do you mean? Do you have any other opinions? Tell me about them." Meng Ning was somewhat interested.
Faced with Meng Ning's curiosity, Chen Shijian continued to speak.
“Initially, I agreed with you two.
I have always believed that the subsequent chaos in the world was caused by the evil nature of people.
I thought the world was in chaos because everyone possessed the powerful weapon of magic, but when I think about it, that's not the case.
Weapons have never been rare. Before magic, there were swords, guns, and even earlier there were stones and teeth. Why is it that only advanced weapons like magic are difficult to control?"
"Perhaps you will say that magic power is too erratic and cannot be effectively controlled like a sword.
I always have a feeling that magic power seems to be controlling everyone invisibly, driving them to use all kinds of methods to create huge waves in this world.
Perhaps the power of mana itself is problematic. It cannot be said to be evil, but people with mana always want to leave their mark in the world."
"Go on." Meng Ning signaled Chen Shijian to continue expressing his views.
After receiving Meng Ning's affirmation, Chen Shijian paused, his eyes becoming more determined: "Foster father, I heard from Teacher Hao Guang before that during the war of cause and effect, the world consciousness would freeze, and the world would have two wills.
They are respectively the fruits of the will of the Dharma Realm and the fruits of the will of the mortal world.
Why is this so? We all believe that these two fruits represent the will of the god who created the world.
Perhaps the will of the Dharma Realm and the will of the mortal world are not inherently unique. Does that mean…"
Chen Shijian's voice trembled slightly: "These two wills may not belong to the same god at all. They represent two gods respectively."
"We have the power to leave earth-shaking deeds in the mortal world. This process is a god influencing the consciousness of another god!"
“We have always wanted to suppress evil thoughts, thinking that everything is a problem of human inferiority.
Have you never considered that the existence of these two wills may be the root cause of the current chaos?"
Chen Shijian's words became more and more excited, but Meng Ning's expression became darker and darker.
"Enough! Stop talking!" Meng Ning's face suddenly darkened, and he scolded his adopted son. "Shi Jian, stop your absurd idea! Your idea is too unorthodox and shocking. Have you become crazy under such heavy pressure?"
Chen Shijian looked directly at Meng Ning and said anxiously, "Foster father, I am very clear-headed! It is because of this pressure that I can see more clearly."
"See through it? Ridiculous. With your insightful opinion, what do you want to do?" Meng Ning said in a bad tone.
Chen Shijian: “Naturally, we have to find ways to completely separate the Dharma-seeking world from the mortal world.
I now feel more and more that the original Dharma world may not be a small world created by Dharma seekers by plundering the world's luck. It may have come suddenly!
Just like...”
"Enough!" Chen Shijian's words were stopped again. Meng Ning's expression was now surprisingly angry. Chen Shijian felt an unprecedented strong murderous aura emanating from this always gentle and compassionate adoptive father in front of him.
The waves of murderous aura seemed to be substantial, like huge waves washing over Chen Shijian in front of him, even making his will dizzy.
The murderous intent only lasted for a moment before Meng Ning retracted it.
For a moment, the two of them were silent and looked at each other without saying a word. After a while, Meng Ning slowly spoke.
“You said you wanted to completely separate the Dharma-seeking world from the mortal world.
That is to completely deprive the Dharma from this world, regardless of whether there is any way to do this.
Even if there is, I think the only place where it can be implemented is the Causal War."
"Once the great war of cause and effect begins, all lives will be destroyed."
"As long as I am the Holy Lord of the world, I will not allow such chaos and disorder to happen again."
"Besides, the power of mana has existed in this world since ancient times. Even if your idea is valid, the world of law and the world of mortals are the will of the two gods."
"Over a long period of time, the relationship between the two has become entangled and difficult to separate.
Which part of the world's composition belongs to the will of the gods in the Dharma realm, and which part belongs to the will of the gods in the mortal world.
Can you tell the difference? Can you tell the difference?
Moreover, in this era that you are seeing now, the power of magic has long been an indispensable force for the survival and progress of mankind.
It has long become a necessity to protect human life and guide human progress.
The palaces beneath our feet, the fortresses on the surface, the space elevator connecting the moon and the earth, the Dongfeng series of high-speed railways connecting the continents, and the spacecraft about to take off.
Haoguang's research on high-yield crops that could feed countless poor people, instruments for observing the microscopic world, and medical technology that could have saved your husband."
"All of this, all of the above, everything I've said and everything I haven't said, which one of these is not based on the law and technology?"
“Think about it yourself, without magic power, you are still a poor woodcutter’s child in the mountains.
Your only ending will be that after your father falls into the mountains, you will climb up the mountain and be eaten by a tiger.
If you don't have mana, this is your fate. You yourself are the beneficiary of mana.
There are not many people in the world who have benefited from the power of magic like you."
"Now you tell me you want to remove mana from the world."
"Think about it yourself. Without mana, what would you be like now? What would the world be like?"
