I'm not mentally ill, I'm a master of a thousand faces!

Chapter 162, Selfless Selfish Love

"Don't go in the rain, you'll catch a cold."

As a child, Li Yun liked to roll around in the rain, as if this could vent her frustration with all the injustices in the world and the trampling of fate on her.

Because there was no father in the family, and the mother had to support the family.

As a child, Li Yun became a notorious wild child.

No one is in charge.

Extremely wild.

People will say that you are a child without a father.

But Li Yun wouldn't tolerate it. His fist, as big as a clay pot, would soon appear on those people's heads. This Li Yun in this body advocated gender equality from a young age. Regardless of gender, anyone who dared to call someone a "wild child" would be beaten up. He treated everyone equally and beat them if they deserved it.

Then your parents will be called in.

Then someone will clean up the mess and apologize on their behalf.

That was her own mother.

"I did nothing wrong."

Li Yun said stubbornly.

And the mother always spoke gently.

"Child, you did nothing wrong, they were the ones who were wrong. But even if they were wrong, you shouldn't treat them the wrong way. Just because they were wrong doesn't mean you can be wrong."

"My child, I hope you will grow up to be an upright person."

A gentle hand stroked her head.

very warm.

From then on.

Li Yun never again used violence to vent his dissatisfaction.

"Child, you are not at fault. It's not that no one loves you. You were born in love, born in the love of your parents."

Yao Ji held the tiny Yang Jian in her arms.

Hated by Heaven, intolerable by Heaven.

But that doesn't mean he wasn't born out of love.

It was precisely because of love, love that transcends mountains and rivers and all social classes, that Yang Jian was born.

It is precisely because it was born of love.

Therefore, when Yang Jian was a "human", he was able to possess humanity, even after he had been in charge of the Heavenly Court's justice for a thousand years.

We can still hold onto hope for humanity.

Divinity contains humanity.

So what if Heaven and Earth don't accept it?

A parent's embrace is a small world.

That kind of warmth

So realistic.

The face of Yao Ji switches back and forth between that of her mother.

One moment it's the Yang family's thatched cottage, a humble dwelling with a home.

One moment it's Li Yun's mother's rented room, a small space that has everything she needs.

That kind of warmth.

That genuine warmth.

Li Yun felt the same way.

This is a real experience.

It incorporates that feeling of 'warmth'.

Love for family.

Even compared to the outside world, this warmth is hardly enough to provide shelter for long.

But he still exists.

It's important that they're not unwanted children.

这很

important

Yang Jian also grew up in a small village, where he discovered that he was different.

As a hybrid of human and god, by the age of 10, he exhibited magical characteristics, including the ability to move objects with his mind and to talk to animals.

They are also very strong; one child can withstand the strength of several adults.

Yang Jian discovered that he was different from others.

He began to use magic and supernatural powers to make things easier for himself in his life.

Whether it's playing tricks on those who have wronged you, or doing something else entirely.

Until her mother found out.

"They bullied me first! What's wrong with me using magic to beat them up!"

Yang Jian stubbornly refuted Yao Ji.

He still had a stiff face, and he absolutely wouldn't mistake her.

The mother was no longer gentle at this moment.

She was furious.

He was so angry that the weather changed color, and even Yang Jian was afraid of him.

correct.

She is Yao Ji.

She is the Jade Emperor's sister.

She is a goddess.

She can command the wind and rain, and change the very fabric of the world.

Yao Ji said.

You can no longer use magic. If you fight, you should use your fists, the fists of a mortal.

Yang Jian, however, was unconvinced. What was the difference between magic and my strength? They were both things I was born with. Did I not even have the things I was born with? Why did it have to appear on my body then?

This is perplexing.

He had doubts about Yang Jian.

Until her mother was captured by heavenly soldiers.

It wasn't until Yang Jian unleashed the power of his third eye, slaughtering all the heavenly soldiers and generals, and even affecting the village where he had grown up from childhood.

He got it.

Just like the difference between a human and an ant.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

But the vulnerable are always affected.

Wherever Li Yun could see.

Before me stood 10 heavenly soldiers and generals.

In order to capture Yao Ji and Yang Jian, the Heavenly Court mobilized the entire Heavenly River Navy.

The three-eyed boy stood in front of his mother and family.

But Yao Ji stepped forward.

"Mother was wrong."

"Humans and gods truly cannot fall in love."

"But love often manifests in us irrationally. Child, do not hate your uncle, do not hate the Heavenly Court, for it is because of them that order exists on earth, and that the order of heaven and earth can function properly."

"I fell uncontrollably in love with your father, a mortal. It was a mistake made by your mother who broke the rules. Remember, child, you are innocent. But if you don't want your mother to make the same mistake again, then please use your magic on the right path."

Yao Ji was still escorted back to the Heavenly Court and willingly accepted punishment—because she knew she was wrong, and was willing to do so.

Yang Jian became the God of Justice and War in Heaven, Erlang Shen, the unit of measurement for combat power in Heaven, and the authoritative one who wielded the power of Heavenly Laws. In order to reduce his mother's sentence, he willingly became the sharp blade of Heaven for thousands of years.

Enforce the law, and see everything in the world.

Yang Jian at this moment.

Li Yun at this moment.

Only then did I understand.

Why would Heaven and Earth hate it?

Why would my mother voluntarily accept punishment?

"When humans and gods unite, divine beings are born, naturally possessing extraordinary abilities, yet still harboring the six desires and six poisons of human nature—those who possess all six poisons and have the ability to do so are demons and evil spirits."

"If humans and gods are not separated, and gods and humans are everywhere, then heaven and earth will be in great chaos, there will be no justice in the world, and chaos will arise."

"As the enforcer of the Heavenly Court, I have witnessed countless such incidents."

This is the reason why Yang Jian upholds the laws of Heaven.

Because the Heavenly Rules do indeed have their own rationale.

If humans and gods are not allowed to mix, then where is the order between heaven and earth?

The contradiction lies in...

There are no living beings.

It is possible to control one's 'love' and 'hate'.

When the Heavenly Court forbids all love between humans and gods.

When these cold, celestial laws utterly annihilate love.

Yang Jian, also known as Erlang Shen, is a god who possesses both humanity and divinity.

They will make their own choices.

When the hybrid of human and god is Chenxiang and Erlang Shen.

You can see love and courage in them, selflessness and righteousness, and all kinds of positive energy—but they are a minority.

Over the millennia, only Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Chen Xiang have been born.

Most people, once they possess the power to transcend those around them, will only become averse to beef—using the excuse of not liking beef to slaughter cities and villages to the last man.

He did not deny the existence of love, but he also understood that for the sake of world order, love could not be given unlimited freedom.

So this god of justice was thinking.

Thinking.

exist.

Making choices, even painful ones, between humanity and divinity.

Carrying everything on their shoulders, they move forward.

Erlangshen.

"Your reason enables you to choose between love and order; over thousands of years, you have chosen divinity."

"You wouldn't make a different choice."

"Me?" Li Yun paused and said, "I will choose love. What do I care about world peace or chaos? Nothing is more important than love and morality."

"You're going a bit to extremes."

"Hahahaha, Brother Yang Jian, what you're saying actually means that not everyone is entirely innocent, including you and your mother."

Yang Jian's eyes suddenly turned dark and sharp.

Li Yun actually humiliated his own mother right here?

This was something he, as the God of War of the Heavenly Realm, would absolutely not allow.

Li Yun, however, simply began to analyze the situation very calmly.

"My mother is undoubtedly great and warm. I can deeply feel both the love she gives me and the love she gives you, Yao Ji. That warmth from the bottom of her heart is something I will never forget."

Li Yun suddenly opened his arms and hugged himself, saying with a look of ecstasy.

"But love is such a selfless thing, so selfless that even though she knew that the union of a human and a god would give birth to a hybrid with magic and full of emotions and desires, which was a wrong idea, she was unwilling to give up her divine identity and become a mortal."

"If the gods were willing to become mortals, would they still have given birth to those demonic beings that wreak havoc on humankind?"

"Hahahaha, you're silent now, Heavenly War God, you're silent! You can't refute me at all, because whether it's a god or a human, everyone has a damn selfish side. If they could choose their offspring, whether they possess magic or are powerless mortals, would they even need to choose? There would be no room for choice at all!"

"Love is so great."

"Such a selfish thing."

"Helping my sister and my nephew, there are no excuses. Even if I know that his act of splitting the mountain to save his mother will disrupt some order and may eventually get out of my control, I will still do it and help."

"Your divinity will not approve of this happening, but I don't want you to be just a god."

The next morning, everything around Li Yun had disappeared.

And here in the restroom again.

What you see in front of you is the hotel's glass.

Standing beside him is Erlang Shen Yang Jian, burdened with the complexities of rationality and divinity, and the drive to fulfill his mission.

Contradictory.

Complex.

These two emotions are mixed together.

Li Yun did not approve of Erlang Shen's actions.

If it were myself.

They only care about order.

It would only free his mother from the prison and escape the so-called punishment, and it would only prevent his sister from being imprisoned under the mountain.

Therefore, I am a human being.

A person who is not so noble.

And you are God.

A noble and majestic god.

I will become you.

But I don't approve of you.

It's not that you need approval to be who you are.

At least each of us has our own reasons for surviving.

Li Yun understood and even respected Erlang Shen's reasoning.

"Yang Jian, actually there is one thing we have in common."

"Let's work together to turn this unchanging Heavenly Court upside down!"

The figure of Erlang Shen Yang Jian.
