222. Chapter 220: Trust

……

"Change the Bloodline Power of Soul Beasts and eliminate Spirit Rings?"

Poseixi was stunned.

Can such a thing be done? "Spirit Rings are things produced under the influence of the Dragon Talisman's bloodline. Originally, this thing existed as a base for the Dragon Talisman to resurrect Soul Beasts; the souls and cultivation energy of Soul Beasts after death are basically contained within them," Nan Feng said.

"However, after the Dragon Talisman disappeared, the Bloodline Power of the Soul Beast clan faded, and problems appeared with Spirit Rings as well; they would only exist for a period of time before dissipating."

"The humans of this world were no different from Soul Beasts at the beginning, and their martial souls were also produced by mutations influenced by the Dragon Talisman's Bloodline Power, which is why the people here have low cultivation difficulty and improve quickly."

"I have already lost interest in humans, so I will not do anything superfluous. What I want to do is merely change the point of humans using Soul Beast Spirit Rings to cultivate."

For the sake of cultivation, human Spirit Masters have a rigid demand for Soul Beast Spirit Rings, and he was merely changing this rigid demand.

As for how humans and Soul Beasts get along, that was not something he should worry about.

He also had no interest in that.

"But without Spirit Rings, what about human Spirit Masters?" Poseixi asked.

"How does Sea God Island handle it?" Nan Feng asked.

Poseixi was taken aback, "You want to use deity faith to replace them?"

"Is that not good?" Nan Feng said.

"What do you think is the root of war?"

"Conflict of interest?"

"And what is the root of that conflict of interest?"

"……"

"It is ideology!"

"Because ideologies are different, collisions occur, and there is a lack of understanding."

"Because of a lack of understanding, thoughts of opposition, disgust, and even destroying the other party arise."

"Contradictions, conflicts, everything is born from this. So-called conflicts of interest are also about worrying not about scarcity but about inequality. Because ideologies are different, jealousy and anger are produced, and possession and plunder are produced."

"But if everyone's ideology were consistent, these things would not exist."

"And faith is the fastest way to guide the unification of ideology, especially when faith can bring tangible benefits to oneself."

"Without Soul Beast Spirit Rings, God-Bestowed Soul Rings would become the only path."

"When the time comes to screen them again, the ideology of the continent can be unified very quickly."

"Countries, nations—these things are merely things produced by interest groups to rope in more people to plunder benefits. As long as ideology is unified, these things have no value in existing. Everyone has a common goal, a common direction; they will not think about backstabbing, they will not think about taking the wrong path."

"Without divergence, the injustice and oppression born from divergence will all disappear. Peace, beauty, everything will follow."

"Just like on Sea God Island, the Spirit Masters who believe in the Sea God, aren't they just like that?"

"……"

Poseixi fell silent.

Her heart was moved.

Because what Nan Feng said perfectly matched the logic of the facts she knew!

But it was precisely because she felt a strong identification with this idea of Nan Feng's that she felt panic instead!

She was a little afraid: could these words be something Nan Feng used on purpose to deceive her?

How could anyone, upon first meeting, stir someone's heart with just these few words? Unless this guy had studied her and pinpointed her weaknesses.

But the most terrifying thing was that even though she thought of these things, she still identified with what Nan Feng said, and even felt that she should help complete this matter!

"Are you afraid?" Nan Feng drifted in front of Poseixi.

"Do you think I am lying to you?"

"Suspecting that what I said is just a pie in the sky used to trick you into getting on board?"

Poseixi's heartbeat quickened involuntarily, "Should I not be suspicious?"

"You certainly should be suspicious," Nan Feng said. "But obviously, you cannot persist in this suspicion for long, can you?"

"……"

Poseixi averted her gaze in some panic.

"Actually, you have already believed me, but you feel this trust came a bit too abruptly." Nan Feng moved a little further away from Poseixi.

"Because you feel I am a stranger, you do not understand me, and you cannot entrust your trust to someone you have just met."

"This is very normal, but you will believe me."

"Why?" Poseixi asked.

"Trust does not need a reason," Nan Feng said.

"If there is a reason for trust, can it still be called trust?"

"Likewise, if there are conditions for faith, can it still be considered faith?"

"Love is blind, faith is blind, and trust is also blind. Rationality and blindness do not conflict; they are even indispensable to each other."

"An overly rational person must be selfish; an overly blind person must be insane."

"Rationality and blindness, calmness and madness—we must always find a balance point."

"What do you think?"

"……"

Bibi Dong looked at the silent Poseixi with a strange expression.

Another one tricked into a limp.

Nan Feng's most powerful trait was not his strength, nor his talent, but this terrifying infectious power of his.

Everything he said came from his heart and was based on facts, so it left people with no room to refute.

Although many times the facts Nan Feng spoke of were rather one-sided, human beings are inherently subjective creatures.

Viewing the world from a specific subjective angle is bound to be one-sided; no one can be all-encompassing.

Nan Feng's swindling was simply his ability to say the things the person involved wanted to hear.

The ability to see through the human heart.

This was Nan Feng's greatest harvest in Slaughter City.

It was just that he used to easily lead himself into the same dead end as the other person; excessive emotions and excessive feelings caused his thoughts to become increasingly chaotic.

But now, this guy has died once more, his thoughts have been emptied, and he stands on high, looking down at the maze others are standing in; he still knows what the other party needs.

What Poseixi wants and what she yearns for, Nan Feng has already figured out during this time.

"I still need time to consider," Poseixi said.

"That's fine," Nan Feng shrugged.

"You can take your time considering, but I hope you give me an answer quickly, because my time is running out."

Poseixi was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Do you think there is a problem with the things I want to do?" Nan Feng asked.

"Or rather, do you think what I am doing is worthy of trust?"

Poseixi was stunned.

"Look at you, even someone like you whose heart already believes in me, but just needs time to buffer, still finds it difficult to eliminate your suspicion of me, let alone those who do not believe in me, or even do not want to believe in me, and are unwilling to take such a risk?" Nan Feng said.

"Your resistance toward me is not strong because this matter has not affected your interests, or rather, it poses no threat to the things you possess."

"But others may not necessarily feel the same."

"The things that all ruling classes care about most are always safety and stability; for an unstable factor like me, there has been a fixed term for it since ancient times."
