"Partner, is she someone worthy of pity?"
"No, Mem. Anyone with normal empathy and compassion, after knowing everything about her, should conclude that she is a bad person. Although she has pitiful aspects, that is not a reason to commit evil."
"For those who commit evil, aside from those who are purely twisted inside, who doesn't have a story? Who hasn't been subjected to the injustices of life or the cruel jokes of fate, leading them to choose to do evil?"
"Some people, when faced with difficulties and pain, choose to accept them, choosing to carry them as things they must bear as they move forward. But others, after experiencing difficulties and pain, are defeated, choosing to degenerate and do things that cannot be understood."
Caelus looked at the pill in his hand, and then white patterns began to appear on it.
"The raw materials for this pill contain the bone marrow of the Vidyadhara clan. Leaving aside how they actually extracted the bone marrow, and how much sacrifice and pain accompanied it, just eating this pill means you are gnawing on the flesh and blood of another sentient being to provide yourself with nourishment."
"And to develop such a pill, how much blood and tears must have accompanied it, and how many innocent lives must have been lost? How many people's friends, family, and lovers were killed by her?"
"The Xianzhou does indeed have injustices, and problems do exist, but problems are meant to be solved, not destroyed. Since there are so many injustices, and since one knows those problems should be corrected, instead of thinking about changing the problem, she simply wants to tear everything down and start over..."
"Just as she said herself, she has become a monster that simply wants revenge. And for a monster, there is no need for too much pity."
Caelus let go, and the pill fell to the ground due to gravity. The pill cracked, and from the cracks grew small woody tentacles. They continuously converged and fused to form a thick branch, and then a huge white lotus bloomed on that branch.
Light seemed to flicker within the white lotus, and when the bud bloomed, a tiny baby lay inside. This baby even had a pair of small dragon horns on its head.
"The Finality is opposed to the Abundance. Let the incomplete become complete again, let the complete bestow new life, and let the new life nurture a different soul. A brand-new existence is born at this moment."
"Although I do not know if the Believer of the Luminflux whose bone marrow was extracted is still alive, this child can be considered an extension of his life."
Caelus picked up the sleeping baby in the lotus, feeling the pulse of life in his arms.
"For most people, the past life cannot be retrieved, so what is more important is the future. But people like Dan Shu are those whose present is completely submerged by the past, with no future left. She lives forever in the day she received news of her friend's death."
"Waa!"
The sleeping baby seemed to have been awakened. He frowned and let out a loud cry. That was the first sound of life.
A few days later, in the Seat of Divine Foresight...
Jing Yuan was already overwhelmed. Recently, the number of people becoming mara-struck far exceeded the past. The Ten-Lords Commission was already overwhelmed, and the Cloud Knights were already helping. More importantly, various communication devices had also developed problems. According to the observation and comparison of wave frequencies, a Stellaron had somehow been smuggled into the Xianzhou Luofu without anyone noticing.
"Who exactly bypassed the Cloud Knights' inspection and transported the Stellaron into the Luofu? Where are the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus hiding? And how did they make so many people become mara-struck in such a short time? If this method spreads, it will be fatal to most Xianzhou people."
Jing Yuan couldn't help but think at this moment, if his relationship with that Mr. Caelus wasn't as stiff as it was now, would he be able to get help from him? Even if it were just obtaining a method to slow down Mara-Struck in the short term, that would be better than being completely clueless like this.
"General!"
Yanqing ran over in a hurry at this time. His expression was slightly strange, and he was holding a swaddled baby in his arms.
"Yanqing, this child in your arms..."
Jing Yuan was a bit surprised. Why was Yanqing holding a child to see him?
"General, this baby of the Vidyadhara was abandoned outside the Seat of Divine Foresight by someone unknown. I happened to be patrolling nearby, and I asked around, but not a single soldier saw what happened. I felt something was wrong, so I came to report it."
"A baby of the Vidyadhara? That must be a Vidyadhara rebirth. Although it is indeed strange to be abandoned at the door of the Seat of Divine Foresight, such matters should be left to the Dragon Masters of the Vidyadhara to investigate themselves. After all, there are only so many of them, a little inquiry will yield some clues."
"Yes, General!"
After Yanqing left with the baby, Jing Yuan didn't pay much attention to this matter. After all, it was just a baby, not worth much attention.
And when this baby was handed over to a Dragon Master of the Vidyadhara clan, the Dragon Master didn't really care at first. After all, Vidyadhara rebirth is a normal occurrence. But when he carefully checked the Vidyadhara clan information registry within the Xianzhou Luofu, and searched the gene bank, only to find absolutely no information, he was completely bewildered.
He then immediately sent the baby's genetic map to the chat groups used for communication among the Vidyadhara clans of the various Xianzhou, asking them to check it.
After an afternoon of investigation, the entire Xianzhou Luofu had been checked, and they reported that there was absolutely no one matching the description.
The Dragon Master was even more bewildered, wondering if perhaps a member of their clan, having drifted through the galaxy, had arrived at the Xianzhou Luofu, happened to undergo molting, and was then found.
However, while reviewing the genetic comparison data, he was astonished to discover that this infant was actually the child of a missing member of the Vidyadhara. The genetic similarity was 99.99%!
Holy crap!
In an instant, the entire Vidyadhara were in an uproar.
Jing Yuan, who was already overwhelmed with work, looked at the elders of the Vidyadhara who had suddenly shown up and blocked the entrance to his Seat of Divine Foresight. With a look of confusion, he asked, "Everyone, you've come to my Seat of Divine Foresight in such a rush, has something happened?"
"General Jing Yuan, where on earth did this child come from?!"
"It was found near my Seat of Divine Foresight. It seems to have been abandoned by someone. The surveillance didn't record anything, and no one saw exactly what happened. Is there some kind of problem?"
"He... is a newborn Vidyadhara."
Jing Yuan also wore a look of utter astonishment and froze in place.
The Vidyadhara clan could have newborn descendants?!
Those immortal dragon descendants, who could not produce new clan members even with all sorts of cloning technologies, could now have descendants!
In an instant, Jing Yuan felt his scalp tingling. He didn't think of this as some incredible piece of good news, instead, he thought of the trouble this news symbolized.
At this moment, the perpetrator was busy experimenting with creating a Seed of Fire, completely unaware of how much of a storm he had caused for the entire Xianzhou Alliance.
