All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

They thought they had gained great power and that they could control their own destiny.

In reality, they are merely tools manipulated by others, containers for evil forces.

"Shen Jianxin, tell me, in the power systems of all the heavens and myriad realms, is there truly a distinction between good and evil?"

Wen Yan suddenly spoke, her eyes full of doubt.

Shen Jianxin paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

He had never seriously considered this question.

In his understanding, cultivators cultivate the power of righteousness.

Evil gods and demons cultivate evil powers.

The power of righteousness is pure and gentle, nourishing the soul and elevating the state of mind.

Evil forces are strange and domineering, polluting the soul and eroding the mind.

This was a belief he had been instilled with since childhood, and he had never doubted it in the slightest.

But now, looking at Wen Yan and those people corrupted by evil forces, he began to seriously consider this issue for the first time.

"I have no idea."

Shen Jianxin spoke slowly, his tone full of confusion, "In my previous understanding, the righteous path was righteous, and the evil path was evil."

"The normal system of all the heavens and myriad worlds is the righteous path."

"Any force that is contrary to it is evil."

"But now, I'm a little unsure."

He raised his head and looked at the gray sky in the distance, his eyes full of thought.

"The power of the evil god system is indeed strange and domineering. It can corrupt the user's soul and harm innocent people."

"But it is also a kind of power."

"A power that is completely different from the righteous path, yet equally powerful."

"I've been wondering, is this power inherently evil, or does it become evil because of the user's state of mind?"

Wen Yan didn't speak, but listened quietly.

He was also thinking about this issue.

Yao Guang Ge was once a gentle and reliable person.

He imparted power to them so that they could survive and protect themselves.

But why did Yaoguang become like this?

Is it because this power is inherently evil, or because Yao Guang's state of mind couldn't keep up with the increase in power, and he was devoured by inner demons and evil forces?

"I've discovered that there's a terrifying aspect to the power of the evil god system."

Shen Jianxin spoke slowly, his tone serious, "It will subtly influence the user."

"It not only pollutes the user's soul, but also changes the user's behavior, personality, and even rationality."

"Your sister, Wen Xuyan, is like that; she's been corrupted by evil forces."

"And you, Wenyan."

Shen Jianxin turned to look at Wen Yan, "You should be able to feel it yourself, your personality is becoming more and more irritable and bloodthirsty."

Wen Yan shuddered and lowered her head.

Shen Jianxin is right.

Since he began cultivating the power of anger, his personality has become increasingly irritable.

Sometimes, even the smallest thing can enrage him.

He might even lose control of his murderous intent and want to hurt the people around him.

He knew that he was slowly changing, slowly being devoured by evil forces.

"Then tell me, what about a creature influenced by evil power?"

Shen Jianxin raised his head, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. "In the end, did the creature control this power, or did this power turn the creature into a puppet, into its tool?"

This question, like a curse, lingered in Shen Jianxin's mind.

He looked at Wen Yan and the people corrupted by evil forces, his heart filled with doubt.

If the power itself is evil, then those who cultivate this power will inevitably be corrupted and become puppets, no matter what.

But if power itself has no distinction between good and evil, then why are so many people devoured by this power and turned into killing monsters?

Wen Yan also fell into deep thought.

He thought of Yao Guang, Wen Xuyan, and himself.

Yao Guang was once their reliance, the light in their hearts.

But now, he has become a cold and cruel evil god, completely controlled by evil energy.

Wen Xuyan was kind by nature, but he went mad because of evil energy and eventually died by his own hand.

He himself is being gradually consumed by evil energy, moving closer to the edge of losing control.

Are they the controllers of power, or its puppets?

"I have no idea."

Wen Yan spoke slowly, her voice low and confused, "I really don't know."

"All I know is that I don't want to become like Yao Guang or Xu Yan."

"I don't want to be controlled by this force."

"But I don't want to give up my power, I don't want to give up avenging Xuyan."

"But who exactly is my enemy? Yao Guang?"

His voice was filled with pain and struggle.

He didn't know what choice to make, nor did he know what his future would hold.

Shen Jianxin felt helpless looking at Wen Yan's pained expression.

He couldn't make the choice for Wen Yan.

Because he himself had fallen into the same confusion.

He also has inner demons and a second personality.

He was also struggling, trying to control his power and his mind.

He knew that if he lost control, he would also become a crazed monster and hurt the people he wanted to protect.

"Wenyan, this choice is yours alone to make."

Shen Jianxin patted Wen Yan on the shoulder and said in a heavy tone.

"If you give up your power, you will become a mortal and lose the ability to take revenge, but you can retain your sanity and your true self."

"If you continue your cultivation, you will gain immense power and be able to avenge Xu Yan, but you will face the risk of losing control, being devoured by evil energy, and becoming the very thing you hate most."

"No matter which path you choose, I will support you."

"If you choose to give up your power, I will protect you and help you take revenge."

"If you choose to continue your cultivation, I will help you suppress the evil power, stabilize your mind, and try my best to prevent you from losing control."

Wen Yan raised her head and looked at Shen Jianxin, her eyes filled with gratitude.

In this desperate world, during his most painful and confused time, Shen Jianxin's support was undoubtedly a ray of light in the darkness.

"Thank you"

"I need time; I need to think this through carefully."

"it is good."

Shen Jianxin nodded. "I'll give you time."

"Let's find a safe place to settle down first."

"We'll make a decision once you've thought it through."

Wen Yan nodded and slowly stood up.

He looked at Wen Xuyan's corpse on the ground, a resolute glint in his eyes.

No matter what choice he makes, he will never forget his sister's death.

I will never forget what Yao Guang and that woman did.

He will definitely avenge his sister and stop the evil energy from continuing to pollute this world.

Shen Jianxin also stood up and looked into the distance.

The sky remained gray, and the evil energy in the air remained strong.

In the distance, the faint roars of cultists and the howls of monsters could be heard.

This world, corrupted by evil energy, remains filled with despair and slaughter.

Shen Jianxin's heart was still filled with doubts.

Is the power of the evil god system ultimately good or evil?

Are creatures influenced by evil forces the controllers of power, or their puppets?

He didn't know the answers to these questions.

But he knew he had to find the answer.

He must stop Yao Guang and that woman, and stop the evil power from spreading further.

At the same time, he must also overcome his inner demons, take control of his power, and control his destiny.

Just then, Shen Jianxin's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

He sensed a powerful surge of evil energy rapidly approaching them.

That wave of evil energy was cold and domineering, much more intense than the wave of evil energy emanating from Wen Yan.

"Oh no! Danger!"

Shen Jianxin gave a low shout, his eyes instantly becoming wary.

Staring warily into the distance.

Wen Yan also snapped out of her daze and looked into the distance with a wary gaze.

He could feel that evil energy fluctuation; it was incredibly familiar.

That is... the aura of Yao Guang!

Yao Guang has actually arrived!

Shen Jianxin also sensed the owner of that aura.

Shake the light!

He hadn't expected that Yao Guang would find them so quickly.

Shen Jianxin took a deep breath, his eyes becoming extremely solemn.

He wanted to find out what had happened in Yaoguang, and what secrets were hidden behind it all.

In the distance, a black figure slowly emerged.

His figure was surrounded by dense black energy, and waves of evil energy emanated from him continuously.

His eyes were cold and devoid of any emotion, like a soulless puppet.

It is Yao Guang!

Yao Guang slowly walked towards them. With each step, a crack would appear in the ground, from which black mist would gush out.

A cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth as he stared coldly in the direction where Shen Jianxin and Wen Yan were hiding.

"I've found you."

Yao Guang's voice was chilling and piercing, with a strange, hoarse quality, "Wen Yan, you actually betrayed me?"

"And you, Shen Jianxin, how dare you interfere in my affairs?"

"You all deserve to die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Guang raised her hand and waved it, sending a dense stream of black evil energy hurtling towards the direction where Shen Jianxin and Wen Yan were hiding.

Wherever the black evil energy passed, the ground was instantly corroded, and the air itself became distorted.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

Shen Jianxin gave a low shout, grabbed Wen Yan, and quickly dodged to the side.

"boom--!"

The black fel energy slammed into a nearby house, instantly blasting it to pieces.

Pebbles flew everywhere, and black mist spread out, carrying a pungent, fishy smell.

Shen Jianxin and Wen Yan fell to the ground in a disheveled state, their bodies covered in dust and blood.

"Wenyan, it seems you don't have time to think."

Shen Jianxin slowly stood up, his gaze resolute as he looked at Yao Guang. "Now, we must join forces to fight against Yao Guang!"

Wen Yan slowly stood up and looked at Yao Guang.

"That's right."

Wen Yan gripped the longsword tightly, and the black aura around him rose again. "I will not back down this time."

"Yaoguang, I will avenge Xuyan!"

Yao Guang looked at Wen Yan, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

"Revenge? You think you can take it?"

"The power you cultivate was all taught to you by me."

"You're nothing but a clown in front of me, utterly defenseless!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Guang moved and pounced on Wen Yan.

The black aura around him grew thicker and thicker, and the fluctuations of evil energy became stronger and stronger.

Shen Jianxin's eyes turned cold, and he immediately stepped in front of Wen Yan.

A burst of spiritual light surged from his fingertips, and sharp sword energies shot towards Yao Guang.

"Ding—ding—ding—"

The sword energy collided with the black aura surrounding Yao Guang, producing a series of crisp collision sounds.

However, Shen Jianxin's sword energy could only leave faint traces on the black mist, and could not break through the black mist's defense at all.

"What?!"

Shen Jianxin was shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

His sword energy couldn't even harm Yao Guang?

Is the power of Yao Guang really this strong?

Yao Guang looked at Shen Jianxin, the mocking smile on her lips growing even stronger.

"Shen Jianxin, your strength is too weak."

"You are utterly vulnerable before me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yao Guang raised her hand and waved it, sending an even more powerful surge of evil energy hurtling toward Shen Jianxin.

Shen Jianxin's expression changed, and he immediately circulated his internal cultivation to form a spiritual light barrier in front of him.

"boom--!"

The evil energy crashed into the barrier of aura, producing a loud bang.

Shen Jianxin felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out. He involuntarily took a few steps back.

The barrier of spiritual light instantly became covered with cracks, and it could shatter at any moment.

"Shen Jianxin!"

Wen Yan exclaimed in surprise and immediately stepped forward to support Shen Jianxin.

"How are you? Are you alright?"

Shen Jianxin shook his head, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes still firm.

"I'm fine."

"The power of Yao Guang is far greater than we imagined."

"We must join forces to have a chance of defeating him."
