Evolution Paradise, are you the disaster?

Chapter 550 Brothers and sisters, betrayed three times
The Void Tree's premature exposure to the Abyss Realm, and its failure to take advantage of the safe period to develop its own path, caused a chain reaction that dragged down all the major factions within the Void Tree.

The unlimited expansion of scale only brings resources but also leaves no time for the powerful forces, led by the seven major amusement parks, to monetize and utilize those resources.

The practitioner is different from the "Tree of Emptiness" that is a counterpart to the world.

While accumulating sheer volume is not a problem, cultivators neglect qualitative leaps. While accumulating sheer volume may seem to increase strength, in reality, control over quality is decreasing.

From a material perspective, the state of achieving balance can be called 'quality equivalence'.

From a personal perspective, this state of being is called "cultivating both body and mind," "unity of knowledge and action," and "marrying someone of equal social standing"...

From a national perspective, this can be elevated to the level of simultaneous development of hard and soft power.

From a global perspective, it is the world itself that sustains the reproduction of all living beings, and the mutual benefit and common growth of all living beings within the world.

By abandoning the development of the optimal solution, the butterfly effect creates a vicious cycle.

The Void Tree becomes stronger → attracting more enemies → the talent development speed of the Seven Paradises cannot keep up with the rate of deaths → the war potential of the Void Faction decreases → the chaos in the multidimensional plane intensifies → Amon's pain increases → the Void Tree becomes stronger...

The various links that should have formed a virtuous cycle have all been distorted into a malignant state, except for the absolutely fair and impartial "Tree of Emptiness".

……

"Someone has to do something."

The founder of the "Human Revolutionary Alliance" and the creator of "Sanctuary Paradise," "Revolutionary God Adam," realized that things could not continue like this.

At this moment, the Void faction can be understood as an off-road vehicle with its accelerator welded shut, brakes lost, and parts worn out, driving on a rugged mountain road.

The abyssal monsters that try to block the "Tree of the Void" will only be killed by the "Tree of the Void" in their futile attempt to stop it.

At 180 mph, with mountainous terrain and steep cliffs, jumping out of the car to escape would be a certain death for the Void faction; even sticking their feet out of the car and using them as brakes would only result in a more gruesome death.

Jumping off the vehicle means death, slamming on the brakes means death, and letting the "Void Tree," which is worse than a scrapped secondhand car, drive on will also end in death.

"Huang Tao's desperate move puts everyone in a very difficult position."

After handing over all matters concerning "Sanctuary Paradise," Adam, walking alone on the road to "Abyss Region," sighed softly.

Someone has to do something.

Adam wanted to see if he could apply the brakes and find a way out for the Void faction; at the very least, he would have to repair the core parts of the wrecked used car.

Success depends on Heaven, but planning depends on man.

At the moment of departure, Adam had a sudden, inexplicable impulse.

He knew that this trip was fraught with danger, or to put it bluntly, a certain death sentence.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Adam was surrounded by wisps of civilization's radiance, and his will to conquer nature was unwavering.

His steps became more steady, and his eyes more resolute.

"Reform, reform! I am the old, you are the new! Let me lead the reform and turn the tide!"

Even though the brilliance of civilization may have faded and dimmed, the meaning of existence and continuation it contained gradually transformed the splendor that Adam wore into sparks.

Sparks of inspiration converge to ignite the flames of innovation; wherever Adam, who walks the path of civilization, is traversed, the pollution of the secondary abyss shall not befall him.

Adam did not take the strongest path.

In terms of individual strength and courage, "Celestial Transmitter Klein" can use his 10th-tier Breakthrough+ body to fight head-on against a 12th-tier abyss monster.

In terms of plotting to overturn everything, "Conquering the Human Emperor - Head of State Huang Tao" can calculate all living beings, reshape the void, and create the "Tree of the Void".

Adam walked the path that carried the most responsibility and constraints.

He shouldered far too much responsibility, allowing no room for even the slightest mistake. Every decision he made required meticulous consideration and careful deliberation.

……

Adam came to the abyss, which was twisted, disordered, and chaotic.

The brilliance of civilization he upheld illuminated time and space, but in the next moment, even more darkness swarmed in.

The revolutionary fire he ignited burned away the decay, but the next second, the endless pollution of the Nine Netherworlds was regenerated.

In this desolate place devoid of all defined standards, even a single glance from a normal person would cause their SAN value to drop irreversibly and permanently. His brother, Amon, served as a stabilizer in the abyss for an entire era.

"Amon?"

Before Adam appeared a tall altar, forged from the shells of thousands of "Ancient Artifacts of the Abyss".

Ascending the steps, atop a pitch-black throne emanating an unparalleled presence and pure hatred, sat a shadowy figure entirely black.

The roots of the "Tree of the Void" here evolved into the form of chains.

The shackles of the void pierced through the limbs and bones of the dark phantom, constantly squeezing out what little self the phantom had left.

Adam called out softly, recognizing the true form of the dark phantom.

Even if Amon turned to ashes and mixed with other ashes, Adam could still tell which pile Amon belonged to.

"I am very happy. This is the happiest moment I have been here."

"Adam, you've finally come to see me."

The phantom of hatred gradually solidified, and the three seemingly unrelated elements of a monster driven by despair, a state of rational clarity, and the innocent innocence of a child were violently intertwined.

The words of "Abyss Amon" sound contradictory no matter how you look at them.

Adam, who knew Amon very well, felt a deep sense of empathy and sadness upon hearing these words.

In a daze, Adam saw Amon weeping in despair here, cursing at the top of his lungs...

His brother gradually gave up hope, abandoned himself, lost his dreams, and abandoned joy, until he was completely immersed in the abyss.

"Feel sorry."

At this moment, words are so pale and powerless; a thousand words are reduced to a whisper of apology.

Based on kinship, he should stand on Amon's side and destroy the "Tree of the Void," which relies on consuming Amon's blood to survive.

From a fair and just legal perspective, his brother Ameng is the victim, and Huang Tao, who orchestrated this incident, is undoubtedly the perpetrator.

Is it truly justice to sacrifice one person to save many more, or to sacrifice a generation to save the future of the world?

The majority of the group's beneficiaries believe it is just, but if the group being sacrificed has relatives or friends of the beneficiaries, how many of them would go against their conscience and praise the 'blood-soaked bun' as delicious?
Adam's feelings went beyond just this basic style.

He knew that Amon was innocent, but his purpose in coming here was still to kill Amon, squeeze out the remaining value from Amon, and prevent Amon from destroying the barely maintained environment.

"Feel sorry."

Adam's lips twitched slightly, but the words that were about to come out turned into a pale apology.

"You're still the same; you could have easily lied to me..."

Amon, seated on the throne of the abyss, did not look up. He said with a self-deprecating laugh, "Adam, do you want to kill me?"

"Knowing full well that this behavior is wrong and 'unjust'."

"But you still insist on doing it this way, for the sake of that 'relatively correct' reason?"

The lucid yet insane "Abyss Amon" transformed his light words into sharp blades, discarding Adam's true intentions.

"I……"

Adam's upright posture trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Yes, for what I believe to be relatively 'correct.'"

Audrey's insistence on "relative justice" is far less valuable than Adam's "relative correctness."

Lady Justice uses justice as her guiding principle, thus saving her family members who should have been executed in the battle of the Kingdom of Rune;
As a result, Huang Tao's scheming forced him to lose the possibility of accompanying the "Imperial Head" on his final journey;

To this end, she spearheaded the establishment of "Death Paradise," a group of vested interests whose mission was to kill Huang Tao.

And Adam? Adam knew better what he wanted.

Adam would not claim to be righteous, and justice and evil cannot determine what Adam considers "relatively correct".

My heart and actions are as clear as a mirror; everything I do is correct.

Adam's life and the survival of civilization were placed on opposite ends of a scale. No matter how unwilling Adam was, he would not hesitate to wield the butcher's knife.

People with this mindset are qualified to be rulers or arbitrators, but they are unqualified to be close friends and family.

……

"Hahahahaha!"

Amon laughed, and dark red liquid slid down his cheeks as he laughed, his last shred of resolve vanishing.

"Okay."

Amon, imprisoned on the throne of the abyss, raised his hand, bound with thousands of chains, to welcome Adam's arrival.

"While I still have my senses, step forward and kill me for what you believe is right!"

Adam did not answer; his steady steps forward were the best answer.

"I have been betrayed three times."

Amon slumped against the throne, his dark gaze fixed on Adam as he drew ever closer.

He said wistfully, "The first person to betray me was Huang Tao."

"I always thought Huang Tao could be a friend. Back when he was first resurrected in the 'Material World,' I even promised to help him kill the Goddess of Night."

"As a result, Huang Tao betrayed me and killed my freedom."

Adam didn't stop walking; he had already arrived in front of Amon.

Amon ignored everything and said, "The second time they betrayed me were those bastards."

"Once I fell into the abyss, they refused to lend me a hand, using the absurd excuse of temporarily not contacting me."

"It's normal. They were just bad friends anyway. They barely killed my yearning for redemption and hope."

The silent Adam slowly raised the three swords, symbolizing "now, then, and forever," representing the convergence of the fire of innovation and the brilliance of civilization.

"You are the third person to betray me, Adam."

"You killed my innocence, you killed my humanity, you killed the existence of a high-ranking innate being named 'Amon.'"

Amon's clear black and white eyes turned pitch black as the three swords clashed, fueled by the flames of hatred.

"Crack...knock..."

The chains that imprisoned "Abyss Amon" crumbled inch by inch, and the single Abyss Limit of the "Void Tree Binary Framework" was completely merged into the phantom of "Abyss Amon".

"Go away!"

The ethereal shadow solidified, and Amon, now possessing a body again, roared wildly, punching away the suppression of the "Tree of the Void".

"Abyss Amon" slowly rose from his throne, and the thousands upon thousands of "Abyssal Artifacts" that had been used to build the altar turned into decaying dust.

"With billions of scars, what's one more?!"

Amon opened his arms, and the vast power of the abyss condensed into the shape of a twisted evil dragon.
