Chapter 1041: Shadow of Hatred

Seven hundred million billion billion billion billion billion billion years?

Good and Evil was stunned. He could not even begin to imagine what such a concept meant.

He asked cautiously, "Who exactly are you, and why did you capture me?"

Han Jue smiled and said, "Me? I am your Ancestor. I took you in because I saw how pitiful you were."

Ancestor!

Good and Evil was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

Han Jue said, "Your Ancestors belong to the Heavenly Dao's Han Family. Over the past ten million years, Chaos and Release Heaven have merged…"

He began to recount the origins of Good and Evil's Ancestors. When Good and Evil heard the word 'Chaos', a flash of hatred appeared in his eyes, but the sheer length of the timeline shocked him.

As he learned about the Han Family's past, his emotions became even more complex.

It turned out that his Ancestors and the enemy he loathed actually came from the same place. In a sense, it was a case of accidental killing, which caused his heart to collapse.

Why was it like this?

He felt as if fate was playing a cruel joke on him!

Han Jue spoke, "The Karma of the world is like this. Everyone will face tribulations in their life. From now on, stay by my side and Cultivate in peace. Let go of your hatred."

Good and Evil looked up and said through gritted teeth, "Impossible! I must have my revenge. I don't care about ancestral origins; I only know that man killed my parents. One day, I will kill him!"

Han Jue smiled and said, "You will Cultivate by my side. A single session of secluded meditation for me lasts five million years. After five million years, that person will likely be long dead. Even if you rushed back now to find him, you wouldn't make it before his lifespan reached its limit."

Good and Evil froze.

This…

Although he felt it was absurd, what the Ancestor said was the truth.

With such distance and such time, revenge became hollow and meaningless.

But he was unwilling!

Han Jue waved his sleeve, using a Spell to clean Good and Evil's body and change him into a clean Daoist robe.

As expected of his descendants, they were all very handsome.

Han Jue created a meditation cushion beside him and gestured for Good and Evil to sit.

Han Jue began to teach him the methods of cultivation.

Once Good and Evil's cultivation reached a certain Realm where he could communicate regardless of language, Han Jue would introduce him to the Hidden Gate Disciples of the Third Dojo.

While Han Jue was in secluded meditation, he divided his attention to occasionally guide Good and Evil.

Years passed by one by one.

Good and Evil originally thought Han Jue's mention of five million years was just to scare him, but gradually, he realized it was the truth.

After several decades of cultivation, he could not bear the loneliness and wanted to go out, only to find that he could not push open the doors of the Daoist temple, nor could he use Spells to break out.

He had no choice but to continue to Cultivate.

Thousands of years later, he tried again, using a Divine Ability to shift himself out, only to crash into the wall.

In this way, Good and Evil began to Cultivate with the goal of escaping, gradually forgetting his hatred.

Time can smooth over everything. When one sees no hope and lives a difficult life, they can only harbor hatred; but when life is active and the future is bright, the weight of hatred becomes much smaller. Of course, if he succeeded in the future, he would still seek revenge.

Good and Evil's temperament was also constantly transforming, losing its previous coldness.

Time flew like a shuttle.

Nearly five million years passed in the blink of an eye.

Han Jue woke up, and lines of prompts appeared before his eyes:

[It has been detected that you are eighty million years old. Your life has taken another step forward. You have the following choices]

[One: Immediately end your seclusion and destroy the other Great Dao Worlds to obtain one great dao fragment, one primordial chaos fragment, one creation spirit stone, and one System function upgrade opportunity]

[Two: Cultivate low-profile and stay true to your original intentions to obtain one great dao fragment, one primordial chaos fragment, and one creation spirit stone]

[You have obtained one Heavenly Selection of Creation]

The first option was definitely not an option, as the hatred it would draw would be far too great.

Han Jue silently chose the second option.

[You chose to Cultivate low-profile and obtained one great dao fragment, one primordial chaos fragment, and one creation spirit stone]

Han Jue started receiving the Heavenly Selection of Creation when he was ten million years old, getting one chance every ten million years. Currently, the descendants who have received the Heavenly Selection of Creation are Han Huang, Han Ling, Han Yao, Han Ye, Han Tyrant God, and Good and Evil. In eighty million years, he had eight opportunities, with two remaining.

Han Jue looked at Good and Evil beside him. After so many years, Good and Evil had already Attained the Dao and was about to attain Freedom. Compared to the other descendants, his cultivation speed was considered slow.

When Han Jue was this age, his cultivation was far beyond the Freedom Realm.

Han Jue decided to save the Heavenly Selection of Creation for now and do a 'ten-pull' in the future.

When the descendants thought they could stand on their own and no longer needed Han Jue, he would use the Heavenly Selection of Creation to stimulate them with a new batch of talented descendants.

Han Jue stood up and woke Good and Evil.

Good and Evil startled awake. Seeing Han Jue standing there, he felt as if a lifetime had passed.

For the first million years, he had been anxious and restless, but later he grew accustomed to it and instead became deeply immersed in cultivation, unable to extricate himself.

It felt as if he had been in a very, very long dream.

Han Jue led Good and Evil out of the Daoist temple to meet the others. When Good and Evil saw the state of the Dojo, he became even more dazed.

It was more beautiful than he had imagined, like a Pure Land, as picturesque as a painting.

"Wow, another descendant has arrived, and he's quite shy!"

Xing Hongxuan said in surprise, then reached out to pinch Good and Evil's face, scaring him into retreating hastily.

Qing Luaner and Xuan Qingjun also looked at Good and Evil with interest.

Han Jue smiled and said, "These are all your grandmothers. There is no need to be afraid. In the future, treat them as you would your mother, understand? If you are impolite, watch out or I'll deal with you."

Upon hearing this, the tension in Good and Evil's heart actually vanished.

Although he had spent five million years with Han Jue, he had never been able to grasp Han Jue's personality, which felt distant. Now, Han Jue's threat made him feel a sense of human warmth.

Afterward, Han Jue took Good and Evil to the Second Dao Field to meet the other Personal Disciples.

Han Jue had left a Clone in the Second Dao Field. If any Disciple wanted to go out, they could report to the Clone at any time. Currently, half of the Disciples were still in the Second Dao Field.

When the Black Prison Chicken saw Good and Evil, it shouted, "Master has another son!"

The others gathered around one after another.

Han Jue said irritably, "He's not a son, he's a descendant."

He briefly introduced Good and Evil. After learning about Good and Evil's background, the Disciples all felt sympathy for him.

"Who was the one who killed your parents? Send me his appearance and voice, and I'll have the Hidden Gate Disciples put out a warrant for him," Murong Qi asked.

Good and Evil couldn't help but look at Han Jue.

Han Jue said, "That person has already perished. Three million years ago, while slaughtering another Great World in Release Heaven, he encountered a mighty figure who struck him down. His body and Dao were extinguished, leaving him without even a chance to enter Reincarnation."

Everyone fell silent.

It was also the first time Good and Evil had heard this news, and he frowned.

A few days later, Han Jue took Good and Evil around his sphere of influence, effectively telling the Personal Disciples to take more care of Good and Evil in the future.

The Personal Disciples were no longer who they used to be and naturally understood the underlying meaning of Han Jue's actions.

Back inside the Daoist temple.

Good and Evil remained silent.

Han Jue said, "Before I moved you into the temple, the power that awakened within you was a gift from me. It's not just you; I previously chose six other descendants. Some were even more tragic than you, but they have already stepped out from the shadow of hatred and are living for themselves."

(I missed one Heavenly Selection of Creation before and have now corrected it. Anyway, since there's one chance every ten million years, there will be as many chances as there are tens of millions of years~~)
