The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 698 - The Dao Is Endless

Emperor Randies couldn't help but gasp upon hearing this revelation. It was too much to take! Who would have thought that the seven laws were actually offsprings of an existence they wanted dead for so long now? Of course, he knew that the ancestor only revealed this because Jin Rou was here.

"What happened, why Adam became crazy enough to threaten the world?" Jin Rou asked.

"Our mother, Eve, died because of humanity." The ancestor became a bit emotional. The memories of that time were still vivid in his mind as he was also a witness of that, "That's why our father wants to get back at the world by destroying it."

It was grief, which turned Adam into this kind of monster. He must have loved Eve so deep that he couldn't recover from it. For Adam, Eve was the world. If Eve didn't exist anymore, what's the use of protecting and making the world benefit more?

"Mother died for saving humanity from an impending catastrophe. Yet, those humans have not expressed even an ounce of gratitude and respect for her. Even I am in father's position, I will perhaps do the same." Ancestor Violet Cloud sighed in sadness. Eve loved the world too much that she's willing to give her life to save it. Unfortunately, it wasn't what returned to them.

"Even for powerful existences, love can actually still make you crazy." Jin Rou laughed softly. For some reason, the image of Syni Su appeared in his mind and he couldn't help but reveal a warm smile.

"Love is a powerful thing, a double edged sword. It can perhaps benefit or kill you." The ancestor smiled, "Fortunately for me, I have received the former part."

The ancestor paused for a moment and said, "Jin Rou, I won't stop you from killing our father. But I just wish only one thing. Please give him an easy death. Compared to what he had done, he still protected the world for many ages."

Jin Rou didn't answer this. However, the ancestor already knew what the former was trying to mean.

A long pause of silence ensued. But the silence was giving peace and comfort for those present. It felt like the time stopped and everything was on pause, only this time inside the space was running. Countless eons had passed because of this eternity, it's the feeling. However, it was only several hours passed in this space.

"The dao is endless, and it's tiring." After a long silence, the ancestor spoke with a heavy sigh, "Yet, many people are still seeking for it. Jin, do you know the reason?"

"For an answer. Many people are seeking for answers from the dao." Jin Rou spoke after a careful thought.

"That's right." The ancestor nodded, smiling, "People are always seeking for something they don't have. And that includes answers. It's called answers because it's something we don't have. Questions are made because there are supposed to be answers for it. And the dao are answers for questions. And at the same time, dao are also questions for answers."

It was a deep and profound saying that Jin Rou thought. These words could only be spoken by someone who experienced countless trials and tribulations in his life.

"About Adam, I will do my best to grant your request." Jin Rou suddenly switched the topic to the previous, "At the very least, I can try."

"That's enough." Ancestor Violet smiled. He knew that Adam couldn't be spared mercy or else it would make the innocent souls who died go unrest and irreconciled. It wasn't something he wished to happen.

Moreover, Adam was meant to die anyway after embarking in this path, after choosing this choice.

Jin Rou looked up and smiled with a sigh, "The sky is so blue, it's beautiful."

The private space was a mountain peak with a very beautiful scenery around it. Above was a clear blue sky with a single violet cloud in the middle.

"This is the sky I have seen when I traveled in the Ends. I have remastered it here in my private space and here you go, it's created. Although there was a bit difference, it's still the same all in all." The ancestor said with a proud smile. He loved arts and was a fanatic of it, thus he do things artistically.

"Ends?" Jin Rou asked.

"That is a said to be the end side of the world, where everyone stopped and ends. Thus, it's called Ends. There is a big falls there and once you jumped, you cannot go back here, ending your life there." The ancestor explained. He tried to explore the falls but it was too risky and it wasn't worth it, so he decided to admire the sky there.

"I see." Jin Rou nodded. He was very curious about that place and he'd love to go there if there was still a time to spare. It's already night again and tomorrow is the day so Jin Rou stood up and said, "I think we should call it a day now, Senior."

"Indeed, we have been here for a while now. Sorry for taking up so much of your important time." The ancestor laughed softly.

"It's nothing sort of a big deal, Senior. Thank you for the talk. I have learned many things." Jin Rou wasn't lying. He truly learned something from their talk and it's going to be beneficial for his prospects.

Then, Jin Rou looked at the emperor and said, "Thank you for the assistance, Emperor Randies. But this is should where we part ways. I'm going to go to that place and it's going to be very dangerous."

Emperor Randies knew that he'd be a deadweight if ever he came over so he nodded solemnly, "Your Majesty, I wish you a triumphant victory."

"Of course, victory is the only choice I have." Jin Rou smirked with confidence.

After which, they bidded their farewells to each other and Emperor Randies along with Ancestor Violet left eventually.

Only Athena was with Jin Rou.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to fight that person tomorrow?" Athena was nervous.. This was a dangerous fight that lives were on the line.
