The prisoner was taken away, and Yu Ziqing sat on the chair, sighing softly. He didn't even bother to fool anyone anymore.
These Evil Dao cultivators, even if just to die quickly, confessed so things, but their beliefs were deeply ingrained and couldn't be changed.
They truly believe that what they are doing is right.
They even think that if no one could cultivate Qi, it would be a good thing.
Isn't this a typical situation where, if things are not going well for and the path I am on is wrong, then cutting off the small path and then the main road will lead to a collapse, and everyone will be on the sa starting line?
But, they haven't considered that if everything collapses, they would be the first to suffer.
Those big powers, those strong figures, might not be seriously affected at all; they would still stand at the top.
Even if the road is re-laid later, it would be paved with the bones of those who hoped everyone would collapse together.
For example, to put it bluntly, even if Qi Refinent is no longer possible, it wouldn't affect Jinlan Mountain greatly.
Body Refinent becos more difficult, but it's not impossible.
Without Qi Refinent, the world's diversity is weakened, highlighting the strength of body cultivation.
In other words, the benefits Jinlan Mountain could gain would far exceed what they had before, and it would be the kind of things you originally didn't want or couldn't get, delivered to your doorstep.
As for Dadui, with its current strategy, there are already far more body cultivators at the lower levels than Qi Refining cultivators.
If everyone participates in this collapse, Dadui would suffer greatly, yes, but the other Divine Dynasties would suffer even more severely.
Dadui might get injured, but the other dynasties would be left without arms and legs.
Ultimately, it would beco a contest of who collapses more; the one who collapses the most loses.
Yet, the real situation is that there are still a bunch of outsiders eyeing this land, wanting to pin everyone down into the mud.
Why assu that the result of this collapse will be that the not-so-worst one will win it all?
The real result might be that an outsider intervenes, causing the already collapsing situation to completely plunge into the abyss, and everyone perishes together.
To be honest, if the goal of these Evil Dao cultivators was to bring everyone down together, Yu Ziqing might actually understand that a little.
Because their intent is purely destruction, there's nothing more to say.
But if the aim wasn't destruction, then there are only two explanations: either they've been brainwashed into fools, or they're simply pure evil.
Yu Ziqing carefully reviewed the detailed records left by Li Cang. Every word uttered during the interrogation, even the curses, was recorded verbatim.
After reading through, Yu Ziqing felt that these Evil Dao cultivators were severely brainwashed.
The problem with the Evil Dao isn't about bias or not; it's that the Evil Dao itself has issues.
Even the Evil Lord had to abandon the Evil Dao to maintain self-awareness, which points to a fundantal problem.
Is this a matter caused by people's biases?
The causal relationship here is wrong.
The thoughts of the masses, while having a significant influence on certain matters, shouldn't be enough to cause such fundantal issues within the Evil Dao.
Yu Ziqing put down the records and glanced at Li Cang.
"Do well. From here on, just follow the standard procedures. Execute those who need to be executed in the autumn.
As for those who were promised a swift end, let them have it.
If you promised soone their life would be spared, then spare them.
Find a cell and lock them away until death.
Let them live to see what happens next."
Yu Ziqing patted Li Cang on the shoulder.
"Do well. If you think you fit here, stay here. If you want to venture out later, move sowhere else."
"Sir, I think this is fine. I feel more at ease here."
"Hmm, rits will be rewarded. Follow the normal procedures from here on."
As Yu Ziqing spoke, a flash of spirit light occurred to him—normal procedures...
He imdiately rechecked the confessions, pulling out all the place nas ntioned within.
With a wave of his hand, a scroll flew out, transforming into a huge map encompassing the Three Divine Dynasties, the East Sea, the Southern Sea, and other places.
Yu Ziqing flicked his finger, and points of light flew out, illuminating nas on the map, highlighting the places ntioned.
From Dazhen to Dali, then to Daqian, finally, when Dadui returned, there were lit places in East Dui too.
Yu Ziqing concentrated, realizing that these Evil Dao cultivators, especially the middle and lower tiers, were surely brainwashed fools.
But regardless of whether their aim is achievable, at the very least, they have a complete plan, a normal procedure, not just a sporadic approach.
Yu Ziqing gazed at the lit-up places, his eyes sowhat vacant, countless runes shining in his vision. Since mastering the Dayan Preface, he had only sensed things passively, but this was the first ti he actively utilized its power.
Those sparkling spirit lights resembled critical nodes, slowly forming an extrely complex network, with its core at West Qian.
If West Qian were entirely vacated, the network constructed by the points of light outside would encase it, with the empty space resembling the outline of an emaciated, elongated beast's head.
The sunken areas perfectly matched two hollow eye sockets.
The lower part, a thin mouth grinned, the corners almost exaggeratedly reaching under the eye sockets.
In that instant, Yu Ziqing seed to truly sense sothing staring at him, giving him a cold, haunting smile.
