I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 84 Another day without wanting a Daoist partner

Zhong Zheng glanced at Liu Qing and Ma Daqiang, who were still dreaming, and repeated in a low voice, "How do you know that Huo De Xing Jun has multiple personalities?"

After showing the other party his two scores, Zhong Zheng gasped, then looked at the dream Chen Yu had chosen, and his expression immediately became serious.

After assessing Chen Yu's performance in the dream, he looked at the other person and said with a puzzled expression, "Tell me honestly, are you an evil cultivator?"

"How dare you slander me out of thin air! You can't call me an evil cultivator just because I'm good at playing with dreams."

“That’s not what I meant. I just wanted to say that your style is very similar to that of a heretical cultivator. You’re the kind of person who doesn’t care how many people die in the process as long as the outcome is fine.”

"I didn't kill that many people!"

"When you even had the thought of killing someone in a car accident, you were already a heretical cultivator. Never mind, that's a minor issue. Maybe your way of thinking is more suitable for the current Tianyuan. Getting back to the previous question, you're right, the Fire Virtue Star Lord has multiple personalities. To go further, all Star Lords have multiple personalities."

Zhong Zheng poured himself a glass of wine with his right hand, and said with a straw in his mouth, "For example, what comes to mind when you see water?"

"The best is like water."

"Well, what else?"

"Unpredictable, always using various methods to elbow disobedient children, and incidentally elbowing the obedient ones as well."

"What kind of example is that... but it's enough. This example shows that water has many different characteristics. It can be very gentle or very violent. These characteristics are concentrated in the Water Deity, becoming its characteristics. When people do something that requires the Water Deity's evaluation, both of its characteristics will judge it and make opposite judgments."

"I understand. So, whose opinion will you ultimately listen to?"

"Whoever speaks the loudest gets to decide. The Star Lord is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao's authority and gathers the incense offerings and wishes of all beings, so he will also be influenced by them. Therefore, the characteristics of the Star Lord will be affected by all beings; whatever the beings hope for and believe, the Star Lord will also develop in that direction."

"So, in the end, do they cancel each other out or merge together?"

"Even if they merge with each other, even if it's just a little bit, they will eventually unify into one will and then manifest itself."

Hearing this, Chen Yu roughly understood.

The Star Lord represents the will of all living beings.

Recalling the numerous key points he had memorized, he remembered that the performance and abilities of the various star deities had changed in different eras, and some had even changed gender.

What was initially thought to be a shift in folk customs across different eras now appears to be a change in how people perceive various phenomena as production relations change along with the development of productive forces.

In previous lives, some people have said that Lao Ma and Lao En were Western incarnations of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves people from suffering, so it is clear that such things are not uncommon.

Then he thought about the characteristics of his own martial arts.

One's own martial arts also have two sides, positive and negative. Once one side wins, they will merge together.

Does that mean that one's Heavenly Demon Body is actually a Star Lord?

Unfortunately, there are no reference cases available now, so we can only continue our research in the future.

After thinking it through, Chen Yu nodded and said, "I understand. No wonder the Star Lord values ​​the Dream Maker so much, because the Dream Maker can influence all living beings and shape their perception of the Star Lord into a specific image."

"That's the idea. First-rate dream weavers follow the Star Lord's lead, while top-tier dream weavers influence the Star Lord. Your current abilities are already at the first-rate level, but you still lack reputation. If you win this championship, then Chenguang will be considered a figure in the eyes of the Star Lord."

While Chen Yu and Zhong Zheng were talking, Liu Qing and Ma Daqiang were also groaning that they were about to wake up.

Pulling Chen Yu back, Zhong Zheng whispered, "Don't say anything carelessly today. This is information you'll only know after you become a top-tier dream weaver. The Star Lords are very strict about controlling useful knowledge. Just obediently create your dreams according to your own ideas, and don't worry about anything else."

"Of course."

At this moment, Liu Qing finally came to her senses. After letting out a scream, she shakily gripped her water glass, and after checking her mock exam results, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, I didn't lose any points. Oh my god, the Fire God's test was terrifying. Is it always like this on the Day of Inquiry into One's Heart?"

"Class monitor, which game are you playing?" Chen Yu asked curiously.

Liu Qing's eyes widened: "You call that playing? I almost ate people in there!"

Then, Ma Daqiang also screamed and stood up. After realizing it was a dream, he patted his chest and said, "Thank goodness, it was just a dream."

"Ma Daqiang, what were you dreaming about again?"

"I dreamt that I went straight to the college entrance exam, and then the college entrance exam was reformed. If I didn't get into the top 100,000, my spiritual root would be removed and I would become a mortal."

"It's so terrible!"

"It's not over yet! I'm just so-so in the other subjects, and if I don't do well in the last academic subject, I'm doomed. But the questions are really hard, so I was crying while I was doing them, and Chen Ge next to me kept telling me that the proctor wasn't there and I could just copy from him."

"Did you copy it?"

"How could I possibly cheat! Copying homework is one thing, but this is the college entrance exam! Would it be fair to the other candidates if I cheated? So I just kept writing and writing, for three days and three nights, and finally..."

"Finished writing?"

"No, it's just that the dream ended. In the end, the other party gave me the evaluation of 'the child is not smart, but honest,' and added five points to my morality. But my morality was already 97, what should I do with the extra two points?"

At this moment, Chen Yu knew that Ma Daqiang's moral score was well-deserved.

He can resist such temptation; he truly is a person of high moral character.

I used to doubt that you were all talk and no action, but now I realize I was being narrow-minded.

After experiencing several more dreams of the Fire God, the three gained a deeper understanding of the Fire God's dream style.

What the other party likes most is to pose all sorts of trolley problems, putting one person's life and the lives of multiple people together, and then forcing the person asking the question to make a choice.

However, there is rarely a perfect solution in the world; except in a few special cases, there is almost no way to achieve both.

Candidates must make choices among different things, and choosing one means giving up the other side of the scale. They can only give up their precious things while struggling to move forward.

No wonder Teacher Zhao said that some people had been driven crazy by these questions before; this kind of examination method can indeed drive people insane.

But it also means that you can do whatever you want without restraint, since these kinds of dreams are designed to drive people crazy.

"Alright, now that we've all experienced it, it's time to decide on our topics and methods for the inquiries. The better we perform now, the higher our chances of being chosen by the Fire Star Lord for reference. Even if we're not chosen, having broken through the defenses once beforehand will give us some immunity, allowing us to perform better during the formal inquiries. So, what are your thoughts?"

Liu Qing immediately raised her hand and said confidently, "Blind date."

"That sounds interesting. How do we do it?"

"The candidate must successfully find a blind date within one day, but his blind date is not an ordinary person."

"for example?"

"There's a student who desperately wants to get into university but has failed fifty times already, and is planning to rely on you to prepare for the exam so he can dump you once he does! There's a blond-haired guy who's a complete liar and is actually the father of three dark-skinned kids! There's a local who looks down on you because your income isn't high enough, your moral character is too low, and your parents don't have local residency! And there's a little internet celebrity who demands a dowry of 188,000 yuan and has a note saying she'll cyberbully you if you don't give it! And..."

Watching Liu Qing talk incessantly, Chen Yu felt that these ideas were truly terrifying.

Another day where I don't want a partner.
