Chapter 322
When Ye Lin regained his vision, he found himself sitting on a ground covered with flowers and grass.
Soft sunlight passed through the thin clouds and spilled onto the land in front of him, which was unbelievably beautiful. The bright flowers around bloomed with even more brilliant colors in the sunlight.
Ye Lin stood up and looked around. Blue sky, white clouds, bright sunshine. Not far away, a crystal-clear stream flowed murmuringly, making a tinkling sound. From time to time, fallen flowers drifted across the water, creating delicate ripples.
"Where is this place?" Ye Lin muttered.
He only remembered Lin Qi raising his hand, and then he was sent to this place.
The world before him looked like an ideal utopia, far away from all worldly troubles and disputes, full of harmony and beauty.
There was even a colorful butterfly dancing, not afraid of people at all, landing on Ye Lin's shoulder.
Ye Lin was quite calm at first, but the next second, the butterfly spoke, its voice gentle and pleasant.
"Where did you come from?"
"Monster? Screw you!"
Ye Lin slapped the butterfly to death directly.
Watching his experience points increase slightly, Ye Lin was finally convinced that a 12th-level monster that didn't know life from death had dared to land on him.
"Does she not know who I am? Is she always this brave?"
Ye Lin couldn't figure it out. Why would a 12th-level monster dare to land on a 68th-level Class-Changer? How was this any different from someone wanting to slide tackle a tiger?
Just as he was puzzled, a sharp exclamation sounded.
"Ah!"
A woman wrapped in white gauze, beautiful as if she had walked straight out of a painting.
It was just that she was currently looking at Ye Lin in horror, her long black hair messy, sticking to her fair cheeks, and the water pot she had been holding in her hands was overturned on the ground.
Those clear eyes were full of fear.
"You... you actually used violence in the City of God! And killed a life!"
Facing the woman's accusation, Ye Lin felt his CPU was a bit overloaded.
What the hell? Being accused for killing a monster? What kind of world is this?
"A dirty person like you who uses violence so recklessly, how are you qualified to enter the City of God! You are trampling on and defiling this holy land!"
The woman's face flushed red, as if Ye Lin were some heinous, unforgivable supervillain.
"You... you are a devil! How did someone like you sneak into the City of God!"
Taking a life at the slightest disagreement—in this woman's eyes, this behavior was no different from an evil cultist!
"I didn't want to come in either. Why don't you tell me how to leave this ghost place?" Ye Lin asked back.
"Leave? You actually want to leave the City of God?"
The woman seemed to have heard the most unbelievable thing in the world, looking at Ye Lin as if looking at an alien.
"I understand! You want to escape punishment! Slaughtered a living creature and still want to leave? You're dreaming!" The woman's face was full of a sense of justice.
"Got it. So I can't leave without killing you, right? Since you're so heartbroken over that butterfly monster, I'll send you to see her."
Ye Lin lifted the Spear of Imperial Gold and prepared to give this woman a hit. The woman was instantly scared pale.
"My dear, ignorance is no sin. Doesn't God teach us to be tolerant?"
A gentle, magnetic male voice sounded. Then, a tall, incomparably handsome man walked slowly toward this side. He was barefoot, and every step he took landed on the leaves of the fragrant grass, never crushing a single blade.
Ye Lin became vigilant instantly because this man's eyes were deep purple!
Only the Demon Clan would possess eyes of this color. Consequently, Ye Lin's expression instantly became amiable.
"This big brother is right. I didn't know that one couldn't commit murder here casually. If I had known, I definitely wouldn't have killed that butterfly monster. I have no other merits, just kindness! Sweeping the floor, I fear harming the lives of ants; cherishing moths, I cover the lamps with gauze! May I ask how to address this big brother?"
When out and about, one usually only meets three types of people: ants, fellow Daoists, and seniors.
That woman was just an ant, while this Demon Clan man in front of him was clearly a senior, so Ye Lin's attitude naturally improved.
"You can call me Lord Lord Si Sui. Welcome to the City of God."
Lord Lord Si Sui extended his hand generously and shook hands with Ye Lin.
"Oh! So it's Brother Lord Lord Si Sui! Hello, hello! May I ask what kind of place this City of God is?" Ye Lin pursued the question.
"Didn't Lin Qi, who sent you in, tell you?"
Lord Lord Si Sui revealed a faint smile.
"The City of God is an ideal city created by God, a true utopia without any worries."
"In the City of God, there are Demon Clans, monsters, humans, animals, predators, and prey. Yet, all living creatures in the City of God can live together equally and harmoniously."
"Lions will no longer hunt cattle and sheep; monsters will no longer attack humans. Under the grace of God, the creatures of the City of God do not need to eat and do not need to worry about any desires."
"This is a world where all living things are truly equal!"
Lord Lord Si Sui opened his arms, took a deep breath of air, his face full of intoxicated expression.
Seeming to see Ye Lin's skepticism, Lord Lord Si Sui led Ye Lin toward the place where the crowd gathered.
Along the way, Xiyouai kept a vigilant eye on Ye Lin. She really had no good feelings for this guy who had wiped out a living creature as soon as he entered the City of God.
Soon, Ye Lin arrived at the place where the crowd gathered in the City of God.
To be precise, it wasn't just a crowd; there were herds of beasts, groups of monsters, and all kinds of living creatures gathered together harmoniously, without hostility, without fighting.
Mice could sleep on a cat's head; humans could put their heads into a monster's mouth to check the health of its gums; eagles and hens led a group of chicks to play eagle-catching-chick. Clearly, they were species that were natural enemies, yet they had put down all defenses and vigilance toward each other. An unspeakable sense of happiness permeated the air.
Everything was so harmonious, harmonious to the point of being a bit eerie.
"Look, Demon Clans, humans, and all kinds of living creatures can actually live together in peace." Lord Lord Si Sui looked at the many creatures playing with doting eyes.
Ye Lin scoffed. Living together in peace? He believed more in the saying: "Those who are not of my race must have a different heart."
The reason these creatures could be so harmonious was essentially because the City of God didn't require eating. To put it bluntly, there were no conflicts of interest and no competition for resources. Otherwise, those Demon Clans and monsters would have started a massacre long ago.
One species feeding on another species meant that these two species could never live together in peace. Would you develop feelings for a plate of stir-fried pork with chili?
One day, while hanging out, the other party might suddenly say, "Brother, you smell so good," and then take a bite.
Rather than saying this City of God is a utopia, it's better to say that this is a super-large laboratory for white mice.
However, considering Lord Lord Si Sui's strength, Ye Lin didn't express his thoughts directly, but his eyes instantly lit up.
"My God! I didn't expect that there really is an ideal utopia in the world! It's simply too shocking, too unbelievable! May I ask if I can live here? Please, I beg you!"
Lord Lord Si Sui nodded, then looked at Ye Lin.
"Of course you can. Lin Qi's intention was also for you to stay in the City of God for a period of time. However, there are two more questions. First, to live in the City of God, you must abide by all the rules of the City of God. Can you do that?"
"I can!" Ye Lin nodded sincerely.
"Good. The second question: settling down in the City of God means you have to give up everything from the past—give up relatives and friends, give up power and status. Will you regret it?" Lord Lord Si Sui continued to ask.
"Don't worry. When I make a decision, it's like having an abortion—no regrets once the move is made!"
