Capítulo 1218: Chapter 887: A Mage’s Greatest Enemy Is Another Mage
Rajesh suddenly recalled sothing he encountered years ago during his three cycles of reincarnation.
From the ti he fell into reincarnation to understanding the intentions of the Lord of Paradise, there was actually a period of ‘rebellion’ in between.
Simply put, because he was punished by falling into reincarnation, he wished for other Eternals to make mistakes and create sins willingly, so that once their free year ended, they would naturally fall into reincarnation and suffer.
If I’m not doing well, why should you be better off than ?
If I’ve made a mistake, why can you still answer correctly?
This kind of thinking was actually mainstream among the Reincarnators, not just because of the inherent evil in human nature, but also because those who acted as flattering traitors lived more comfortably in reincarnation, while Loyal Ministers who advised the Eternals were often executed by the angry Eternals— from this perspective, Loyal Ministers might unintentionally increase the sins of the Eternals more than traitors.
Rajesh’s real transformation ca from a particular cycle of reincarnation.
In that reincarnation, the Eternal was a Curse Elf. She was not truly a bad person, just soone who wanted the world to revolve around her, to be liked by many handso n, and for everything to go smoothly, obtaining whatever she desired, with everyone’s preference in her favor.
At first, she was polite, never making excessive demands, caring about others’ feelings, and treating everyone equally. But under Rajesh and other Reincarnators’ deliberate guidance, she gradually let her desires run wild, began disregarding others’ dignity, and indulged in the thrill of power.
To make her commit deeper mistakes, Rajesh even tried to develop her other desires, urging her to take pleasure in others’ screams of pain, the thrill of sadism, and the joy of trampling on others’ dignity. Human nature couldn’t withstand such testing, and soon the Curse Elf played with greater abandon, gradually ceasing to regard people as people, even reaching a point where she didn’t mind being naked in front of others—not devoid of sha, but sha is only for one’s kind. Would you care to be naked in front of toys or pets?
The turning point ca when soone died.
When the Curse Elf saw the corpse, she was stunned, kneeling beside it, staring blankly.
The Eternals’ exclusive world was perfect in every way but one: resurrection. Resurrection was simple, considering those who died were Reincarnators, just recreate them, yet the Lord of Paradise forbade it for reasons unknown.
Rajesh thought she was scared because it was her first ti seeing a dead body and believed she would recover soon. But the Curse Elf shut herself away for several days, and when Rajesh saw her again, her first words were ‘I’m sorry’.
In the following ti, the Curse Elf no longer wanted the world to revolve around her, nor did she need others to like her. Instead, she apologized and sought redemption from those she had hurt, trying to make their lives happier.
The first person the Curse Elf sought redemption from was Rajesh. Rajesh could have stayed away from her, biding his ti until the sentence ended in this reincarnation world, but he suddenly had a whim and said he wanted to stay by her side to see if she truly sought redemption.
So Rajesh stayed with the Curse Elf as she begged for forgiveness from others, occasionally offering advice and help. By the ti the Curse Elf’s free period ended, Rajesh’s heart had quietly undergone a transformation.
Pure Saints and purely evil individuals are always a minority, unteachable, and in no need of education, for they are completed beings from birth. But most people living between heaven and earth are a mix of stubborn stones and decayed wood, harboring unspeakable evil desires yet occasionally bursting into pure goodness.
Words, family, school, even societal education cannot wholly eradicate the evil thoughts within people; at most, they can suppress them. But Mages are free beings from the mont of birth, with no shackles to bind them. When a Mage’s evil thoughts erupt, it inevitably leads to more terrifying human disasters.
The approach of the Eternal Paradise is to have the Eternals willingly release their evil thoughts, then switch roles to let them beco the Reincarnators who endure these evil thoughts.
Not suppression, not guidance, but acknowledgnt.
Acknowledging that their evil thoughts truly exist, recognizing that there is always soone stronger and weaker than oneself.
Recognizing that Mages are always mortal.
If you do not wish to endure the evil thoughts of an Upper, then you should not be cruel to a lower being.
The Lord of Paradise never guided anyone nor required belief in the Lord. Even if one remains unrepentant after reincarnation, there are no problems. It’s just that the Lord of Paradise issued a task for the first ti in the Eternal Paradise, and despite noting an almost 100% mortality rate, all eligible Legendary Mages signed up without hesitation. Rajesh had to fight hard to secure this quota.
The world now is the Eternal Paradise for Mages. Mages demand everything from all beings, showing no respect, with evil thoughts rampant, and the Divine Lord fuels this atmosphere by defaulting to a hierarchy.
What Mages were like ten thousand years ago, they remain unchanged a year later.
Blood Moon, Dazzling Star, Senluo, Earth Abyss, Gospel—all are kingdoms with different traits, yet fundantally, they rely push individuals to beco Mages, urging Mages to beco expendables.
But the Lord of Paradise and the 1668-year continuous Paradise Kingdom are different.
While the strong can exploit the weak, perhaps it is ti for change.
Perhaps it is all a wild fantasy, but the Mages’ most fundantal belief is to believe in miracles.
