Seeing the concerned gazes of Donghua and Shaohou, Wei Chen thought to himself, "It's no wonder they think I have too much killing intent after taking out so many from the Fire Tribe..."
"But to me, killing more members of the Fire Tribe doesn't seem like a big deal. This must be the subtle influence of Fire Divine Power on me."
"The problem is, I don't feel anything at all."
"Is the influence of Fire Divine Power really that significant?"
"Perhaps, as Killing God Senior said, my killing intent comes from the Demon Lotus Bloodline?"
"But regardless, killing is inherently wrong; I need to control it properly."
Although Wei Chen could understand this, he felt no guilt inside. It was as if the members of the Fire Tribe were merely weeds—cut them down without a second thought, with no pressure at all.
He didn't know how he had come to this state.
Maybe it was the influence of Fire Divine Power or perhaps the Demon Lotus Bloodline; either way, it wasn't good.
Or perhaps it was the influence of the Heart of the Fire God?
"Child, do you feel guilty?" The voice of Killing God Senior suddenly echoed in Wei Chen's mind.
Wei Chen replied in his heart, "Killing God Senior, I actually feel no guilt at all. I don't even know what's going on; it seems I care nothing for the lives of the Fire Tribe. The phrase 'life is as insignificant as grass' fits me perfectly right now."
"Heh, life as insignificant as grass? In fact, some people's lives are worth even less than that," Killing God Senior said lightly.
Wei Chen asked in confusion, "Killing God Senior, are you trying to comfort me? I don't feel guilty; there's no need to comfort me."
Killing God Senior replied, "I'm not comforting you; it's just my own perspective on people and matters. To those in power, life truly means very little."
"Upper being? But I'm not really an upper being," Wei Chen said.
"You aren't an upper being?" Killing God Senior replied. "Think about it. In the Endless Divine Realm, how many opponents do you have now? The people from the Fire Tribe are like weeds in front of you; what difference does it make?"
"You've killed so many people this time, yet you have no psychological burden. In my view, that actually means something; at least it proves that your mind has matured."
Hearing Killing God Senior's words, Wei Chen didn't feel comforted. Instead, he countered, "But didn't you say before that having too much blood on your hands would increase the risk of Going Astray during critical moments of cultivation?"
"Going Astray is actually a psychological state. The path of cultivation is long; it's not just about combat power and Mental Strength but also about the cultivation of Mindset. The cultivation of Mindset cannot be measured; it is the deepest part of each person's heart. In fact, the cultivation of Mindset is a person's maturity. When you've experienced many things, your mind matures, and the risk of Going Astray almost disappears," Killing God Senior said calmly.
Wei Chen pondered for a while and found Killing God Senior's reasoning to be valid.
From the moment humans are born, infants know nothing and can do nothing, but their instinct is survival. Even children understand that slaughtering livestock for delicious meat is better than eating vegetables. That is the most basic way of survival.
The path of cultivation is essentially an extension of this survival instinct. Human lifespans are limited, and the path of cultivation is a process of becoming stronger, pursuing reversal against fate. Along this path, one will inevitably face various setbacks; overcoming those setbacks is what leads to success.
As for killing, if you don't kill others, someone else will kill you. In the world of martial arts, how can one avoid being harmed?
Once he understood this, there was nothing more to it. In a world where the strong are revered, isn't the life of the weak just like weeds?
In the early stages, Wei Chen held a deep reverence for life. As he progressed, he began to think that when forced into a corner, killing might not be such a big deal. Now, he gradually realized that as long as something benefits him, human life truly becomes just like weeds.
Even his own life—when faced with a Supreme Being or an Ancient God like the Fire God—his life would also be like weeds without any issue.
Whether one is considered weeds or not depends on the comparison of strength. Those with lesser strength are indeed like weeds in front of those who are stronger.
If you treat others' lives as weeds, you must be prepared for stronger beings to treat your own life as weeds in return.
With this awareness, perhaps the situation of Going Astray would no longer exist.
A person's psychological maturity determines whether they will go astray at critical moments in their cultivation.
In the last life of Killing God Senior, he killed so many people from Bloodshed Shop. Did he ever go astray?
Sticking to one's heart on the path of cultivation, regardless of whether the winds are favorable or adverse, is essential. As long as one persists in the process of defying fate, going astray will not occur.
Wei Chen has experienced so much and has matured considerably. At least after eliminating so many from the Fire Tribe, with corpses strewn everywhere, he can face it calmly.
He does not kill without reason; he does not unleash his full power against those from the Fire Tribe. Given their nature, they would continue to attack ruthlessly, and who knows how many more would die?
Only by unleashing his full power can he intimidate those crazed members of the Fire Tribe.
In summary, Wei Chen feels nothing about this act of treating lives as mere weeds.
The people of the Fire Tribe have died in vain; they cannot even put any psychological pressure on Wei Chen.
"Killing God Senior, do you think what I did this time was right?" Wei Chen asked lightly.
Killing God Senior replied, "Right or wrong is not important at all. What matters to you is whether you gained anything from this matter. As long as you benefit, as long as you feel no guilt in your heart, as long as you are carefree and open-minded, what does it matter? They are neither your relatives nor your friends, nor your subjects. In fact, they even surrounded and attacked your friends. If it were me, I would kill them too."
After hearing Killing God Senior's words, Wei Chen smiled. In truth, Killing God Senior came to comfort him, but he genuinely did not need such comfort; he felt little about it.
It was just that Donghua and Shaohou were worried about the risks of Wei Chen going astray later on, which made them secretly anxious. Wei Chen himself never worried about that issue.
After a while, Ying Qin Supreme Deity returned to Wei Chen's side, his face filled with anger. "Lord Wei Chen, Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow is playing tricks!"
"Playing tricks? What do you mean?" Wei Chen frowned and asked.
Ying Qin Supreme Deity said, "Fire Shadow doesn't know why the passage won't open. The Fire Clan Secret Realm and Endless Divine Realm have completely lost their connection."
Hearing the words of Ying Qin Supreme Deity, Wei Chen furrowed his brows tightly. At this moment, with a blade pressed against his neck, Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow dared not play tricks. So, it seemed that they really could not get out?
Just as he was thinking, Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow flew over and knelt before Wei Chen, speaking in a deep voice, "Lord Wei Chen, the passage to enter and exit the Fire Clan Secret Realm has been sealed by a powerful force for some unknown reason!"
"What happened?" Wei Chen squinted his eyes, his gaze filled with menace.
Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow quickly explained, "Lord Wei Chen, it's not that I don't want to let you out; it's just that the passage has been sealed by a mysterious and immense power. I am at a loss!"
"Take me to see."
Under the guidance of Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow, Wei Chen along with Donghua, Shaohou, and Ying Qin Supreme Deity headed towards the passage connecting the Fire Clan Secret Realm to the Endless Divine Realm.
They arrived at a mountain range located at the edge of the Fire Clan Secret Realm. A mist enveloped the area above the mountains, obscuring its true form. Ying Qin Supreme Deity had brought Wei Chen and the others into the Fire Clan Secret Realm through this very spot, but he had used spatial traversal to directly pass through the mist.
As they flew into the misty interior, a barrier appeared before Wei Chen's eyes.
Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow pointed at the barrier and said, "My lord, this barrier was set up by our Fire Tribe. However, for some reason, the incantation controlling it has become ineffective. This barrier can no longer be removed."
After hearing Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow's words, Wei Chen asked lightly, "Does that mean the Fire Tribe will also be trapped in the Fire Clan Secret Realm?"
"We still have some supplies that can last for a while; we won't starve to death. But if we can't find a way to break it for an extended period, we will truly perish," Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow said with a face full of despair. He had no hand in this matter; he would rather have Wei Chen and Shaohuang God King leave quickly than intentionally deceive them into staying in the Fire Clan Secret Realm.
Indeed, there was an issue with the barrier; it could not be removed.
Wei Chen asked, "Is forcibly breaking it impossible?"
"Lord Wei Chen, you can give it a try; after all, we of the Fire Tribe do not have that capability. This barrier is connected to the energy of the entire Fire Clan Secret Realm. To break it would require destroying that energy," Fire Clan Leader Fire Shadow said with a bitter smile.
Wei Chen extended his hand and pressed his palm against the barrier. Powerful Divine Power mixed with Stellar Power pressed against it together. Yet the barrier showed no reaction at all; it merely rippled like water for a moment before returning to calmness.
Wei Chen looked at Donghua and Shaohou, saying, "Let's work together. We've wasted too much time in the Fire Clan Secret Realm, and there are many things waiting for us to do in the Endless Divine Realm."
Donghua and Shaohou did not hesitate; they stepped back and unleashed their powers, attacking the barrier with all their might.
Even the Ying Qin Supreme Deity joined in, feeling anxious. In the Winning the Qin Divine Realm, countless messes awaited him. If they continued to delay, once the Blood Slaughter Shop Selection Tournament ended and representatives from the Bloodshed Shop arrived, the Winning the Qin Divine Realm would be doomed.
Everyone united their efforts, using their strongest techniques to assault the barrier.
However, the barrier rippled like water; their attacks had no effect.
Wei Chen and Ying Qin Supreme Deity were infuriated. How long could such a barrier possibly hold?
More powerful attacks rained down on the barrier.
"Stop! It's useless," Wei Chen called out after a while. Continuing to attack was pointless; that barrier was indestructible.
Wei Chen had used his Mental Strength to probe it and realized that it was indeed connected to the entire Fire Clan Secret Realm. To break through the barrier, they would need to unleash energy equivalent to that of the Fire Clan Secret Realm itself.
Destroying the Fire Clan Secret Realm was beyond Wei Chen's capabilities; even a thousand of him might not be able to achieve it.
