Chapter 220 The Wrong Path
Facing Meng Qiannian's repeated persuasion, Chen Shijian frowned, remained indifferent and silent, then turned around and left without paying any attention to Meng Qiannian's words.
Seeing this, Meng Qiannian stepped forward, grabbed Chen Shijian's arm and shouted, "Brother Zhuzi, wake up!
Lao Deng's path was too hard and tiring. You don't need to repeat his mistakes. The fate of the world should not be borne by you alone."
Chen Shijian did not look back, his words were cold: "But it is precisely because of my adoptive father's persistence that we have the current situation.
If I back down, how can I live up to his expectations?"
After saying that, he strode away without looking back.
Meng Qiannian looked at his receding back, collapsed on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes: "Fool..."
Chen Shijian returned to his residence, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He knew that Meng Qiannian was doing this for his own good, but he couldn't give up his belief.
At night, the moonlight was like water. Chen Shijian lay in bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time.
He recalled Meng Qiannian's words and thought of his adoptive father's sacrifices, and felt conflicted.
On the second day, Chen Shijian continued to suppress the will of the people under the training of his adoptive father Meng Ning, but he still failed. The surging evil thoughts were like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and were completely out of his control.
"Come again!" Meng Ning's voice was serious and firm.
Chen Shijian gritted his teeth and tried again, but the result was still failure.
In the following few times, Chen Shijian challenged again and again, but was defeated again and again by the endless evil thoughts.
Every failure made him feel extremely frustrated and lost, and his eyes gradually lost their initial confidence and light.
"Godfather, am I really incapable?" Chen Shijian's voice was hoarse and full of self-doubt.
Faced with Chen Shijian's self-doubt, Meng Ning opened his mouth, but finally closed it again.
Unlike before, Meng Ning did not encourage or admonish his adopted son again, as if even he felt tired.
"You go and rest first."
Chen Shijian's body shook, as if all his strength had been drained away by these words: "Godfather, give me another chance, I can do it."
Facing Chen Shijian's request to continue trying, Meng Ning just looked at Chen Shijian quietly, with complex emotions in his eyes, including helplessness, disappointment, and a hint of imperceptible heartache.
Meng Ning slowly turned around, with his back to Chen Shijian, and said in a low and tired voice: "Shijian, maybe all this is a mistake."
Chen Shijian looked at Meng Ning with his back to him, and his heart sank a little. "Foster father, you...what do you mean by this?"
Meng Ning took a deep breath and said slowly:
Shi Jian, I don't mean to be pessimistic about you, nor do I regret my decision to train you to be the Lord of Heaven.
You are one of the few people I can think of who is capable of shouldering this responsibility.
Your character, your endurance, your life, everything is the optimal solution.
But even so, you still can't do it, so it seems that this burden is indeed not something that humans can bear."
Chen Shijian widened his eyes and asked anxiously, "Godfather, why can you bear it?"
Meng Ning turned around and looked at Chen Shijian with deep meaning in his eyes: "Me? My situation is a special case. In my early years, I was restricted for some special reasons.
That’s why I’ve been able to hold on until now.
Even so, I have been exhausted over the years, but I dare not give up because of the responsibility on my shoulders. "
Chen Shijian bit his lip and said in a low voice: "Godfather, is there really no other way?"
Meng Ning shook his head: "Shi Jian, nothing is absolute, but right now you really can't resist such a heavy evil thought in this world.
In this case, we cannot force it, but must find ways to adapt to the current situation and then look for other solutions.
Perhaps, we all need to rethink where the future of this world should go.”
"Godfather..." Chen Shijian was a little unwilling. This was the first time in his life that he was so helpless in the face of a matter.
This completely shattered his long-held self-confidence and made him feel like a waste.
But Meng Ning's next words made him feel like he was falling into an icy cave again.
"My child, if one day I, your godfather, completely go mad and lose my emotions, then please kill me."
"Father..." Meng Ning's words shocked Chen Shijian. He never expected that his father would say this in person.
Has it come to this?...
Seeing that Chen Shijian's expression was not right, Meng Ning smiled and comforted him, "Don't be surprised, kid, this is what I planned."
"I originally planned to train you to be able to handle things on your own, and then I would support you until the day I could no longer support you. Then you would kill me and take on this burden for me.
Then you will follow my example, and in this way, the world will be able to enjoy long-term peace and stability."
"It's just a pity that now it seems that I was too naive and had too high expectations of you. Perhaps you and I should find another way."
Meng Ning's words made Chen Shijian fall into great pain.
Everything in the past, from childhood to birth, from youth to growth. Ten years of mortal journey.
Baili Yuan’s ridicule, Meng Ning’s teachings, Teacher Hao Guang’s instruction, Meng Qiannian’s words.
Everything flashed through Chen Shijian's mind like a kaleidoscope.
Each generation has its own mission. My godfather has already done his best and we cannot let him continue to suffer such pain.
We cannot let the world fall into destruction, we cannot let our adoptive father fall into pain, we cannot let the human world fall into chaos, and we cannot let all things continue to exist and bring harm to the world.
Thinking about changes is what our generation should do.
How can we do it? How can we do it?
How can we change all this?
How can these problems be solved?
The tremendous pressure forced Chen Shijian's supernatural powers to be used passively, and his mind was extremely agile at this moment.
Where did all these problems originate? All the problems originated from the first cause-and-effect battle that Master Haoguang and his adoptive father participated in.
In that great battle of cause and effect, Teacher Haoguang and his adoptive father sought to combine the fruits of the Dharma Realm with the fruits of the mortal world.
From then on, Pandora's box was opened, the seeds of magic power were buried deep in everyone's body, and the power was in everyone's hands. It can be said that everyone is like a dragon.
However, as a result, the world was in chaos, and my adoptive father had no choice but to resort to strange tactics and use his own will to suppress the world.
This is how the current situation came about.
Is it the fault of my godfather and teacher Haoguang?
Absolutely not!
Distribute the luck of those who seek the law from high above to ordinary people, so that everyone has the strength and sword to resist fate and injustice.
Allow the mortal world to have the fortune to develop rapidly.
Such a righteous act cannot be called a mistake!
No matter from which perspective, what Teacher Haoguang and his godfather did was correct.
Is it because my godfather and teacher Haoguang were acting too hastily?
Teacher Haoguang was extremely sad about this. Every time he thought about it, he would blame himself and cry, believing that this was the reason.
But it seems not to be the case now. Back then, we could be said to have acted too hastily, but what about now?
After decades of control, why does this problem still exist in the world?
Was that the mistake made by my adoptive father in the second great war of cause and effect that he experienced, when he used his own strength to suppress the will of all people in the world and stabilize the world?
Absolutely not!
According to what Teacher Haoguang said, under the circumstances at that time, this choice might be the only way out.
So why did it become like this?
Why do we always get the wrong results when we take the right step?
unless...
This is the wrong path...
