Chapter 60: Flash in the Darkness

……

"Alright, since we've figured out the reason, I won't bother you anymore."

Nan Feng drank the last sip of tea and stood up.

"Goodbye."

"Wait a minute." Qian Renxue called out to Nan Feng.

"What did you mean by those words just now?"

"What words?" Nan Feng asked.

"The wall stands a thousand fathoms high, and it is strong because it has no desires." Qian Renxue said.

"Are you hinting at me?"

"Hinting?" Nan Feng raised an eyebrow.

"I think those words just now were almost cursing you to your face. A thousand mountains, birds fly away—isn't that explicit enough?"

"Still hinting? You're quite good at comforting yourself?"

Qian Renxue's face turned black, "You don't know what we are doing this for at all!"

"I'd like to hear the details." Nan Feng sat down and changed a pot of tea very skillfully.

Qian Renxue's eyelid twitched, "Has anyone ever told you that you are very shameless?"

"Don't know, maybe, but at least no one dares to say it to my face." Nan Feng said.

"Because they know that cursing me requires paying a price."

"Even if what they curse is the truth, it doesn't affect me killing them."

"……" Qian Renxue.

"Aren't you self-proclaimed to be on the side of the people?"

Nan Feng raised an eyebrow, "People? Who told you that? When did I say this sentence?"

"Little girl, don't get it wrong. I haven't stood with them from the beginning, nor am I for the people. Everything I do is just because I want to do it, I am happy, I am curious."

"I am curious about what things I can do, I am curious about what the world looks like after being accelerated, and even, in terms of evil, I am far more evil than you."

"You just want to ride on the heads of the ten thousand people of the Douluo Continent to shit and pee, to be your superior beings, while I have no interest in their dignity, and no interest in their worship. What I want is their lives!"

Qian Renxue's expression stiffened, "You…… what do you mean?"

"Is my speech not direct enough?" Nan Feng said.

"This world disgusts me, so I intend to start a war, burn down the things that disgust me, and want them to stand up, want them to lose everything, and burn down those dirty things. And this process will inevitably be accompanied by countless deaths."

"As for you, and what Ning Fengzhi thinks, that I want to leave a name in history—that is even more ridiculous. Reputation? Do I look like someone who cares about this kind of thing?"

"Most people have no brains. So-called reputation, as long as it is slightly manipulated, black can become white, white can become black, slaughter can be praised, and war can be worshipped!"

"If I achieve nothing, even if I am noble and kind, no one will remember me."

"On the contrary, as long as I show enough strength, even if I am brutal and crazy, millions of years later, there will naturally be countless people arguing for me!"

"……" "Lunatic!" Qian Renxue looked at Nan Feng in front of her with complicated eyes.

She originally thought this guy was pretending to be crazy in Wuhun City, including the worry in Ning Fengzhi's eyes when he mentioned Nan Feng. She felt that Ning Fengzhi was overthinking it, but now, facing this lunatic directly, she could feel that this guy wasn't pretending to be crazy—he was truly crazy!

"Whether I'm crazy or not doesn't need you to worry. Now, you should answer me, what do you want." Nan Feng said.

"I can tell you, but you'd better not spread these things." Qian Renxue said.

"Speak."

Qian Renxue paused, "This involves some little-known things."

"God."

The Qian family has stood on the continent for twenty thousand years. No family has such a long inheritance, and all this is because of their proud divine inheritance.

But for thousands of years, the Qian family's desire to control the continent has become stronger and stronger, especially in her grandfather's generation, and there is no longer the past purity and desirelessness.

Because for twenty thousand years, there has been no trace of gods on the Douluo Continent, so much so that even the Qian family itself has begun to doubt the authenticity of this inheritance.

It wasn't until her generation that the ten-level God-Bestowed Spirit Power from the Angel God appeared on her, which finally made her grandfather rekindle hope.

It's just that the Angel God becomes a god through faith. Nowadays, the faith in gods on the Douluo Continent is not strong, and almost no one believes in the existence of gods. The Angel God worshipped by the Spirit Hall is just treated as a slogan, which also makes the power of the Angel God become weak.

Before she appeared, hundreds of years ago, the Qian family already had the idea of unifying the continent, not to be any superior being, just to gather enough faith to call for the Angel God to descend again.

And after she appeared, the ten-level God-Bestowed Spirit Power on her proved that the Angel God was still watching them. After that, unifying the continent was not just for the Qian family's hegemony in the mortal world, but more to revitalize the faith of the Angel God and make this god more powerful.

So her grandfather didn't oppose her doing this. She is the future Angel God, and her faith should naturally be handled by herself.

But faith is not a few words, let alone a few slogans.

The Angel God can become a god through faith because in the era when evil Spirit Masters were rampant in the past, in that era full of chaos, violence, and fear, the appearance of the Angel God was the brightest light in the darkness, so she succeeded.

But in today's continent, there is no dark existence that makes everyone fear. In this case, wanting to revitalize faith is simply impossible.

Only the light in the darkness is the most dazzling. This is what her father told her.

In that chaotic era, the Angel God spent a thousand years. In today's world, wanting to do the same thing will only consume more time.

Wanting to revitalize faith at the fastest speed, the best way is for them to create darkness! Therefore, the Spirit Hall has been in the middle for hundreds of years, on one hand pretending to stop the conflict between the two great empires, on the other hand secretly provoking the contradictions between these two empires, putting their darkness to the maximum. In contrast, the light of the Spirit Hall is naturally more dazzling. Unifying the world is not their purpose. The Qian family has no interest in ruling the continent. They only want faith! Her father's plan, by controlling a country, to spread the faith of the Angel God of the Spirit Hall to the entire continent, is to separate faith from politics.

In this way, faith is still sacred and spotless.

At least it looks like that.

"No wonder that old thing acts so strangely, but, the Angel God was worshipped as a god because she cleared away the evil Spirit Masters of that era, but you are creating darkness yourselves. You are really rubbing your ancestors' faces on the ground." Nan Feng's expression was strange.

"The Angel God is truly light, but you descendants are not as simple as her."

"Self-proclaimed bright and sacred, but full of countless filth and blood flowing into rivers. I am really curious about what expression your ancestors would show if they knew you were like this."

"They shouldn't be proud of you, right?"

"……"
