Chapter 785

Bai Zhu shook his head.

"Intense emotional fluctuations will indeed damage a cultivator's spirit, but... you have a Samsara Body."

"Even if your spirit is damaged, for you, it is an injury that can be healed in an instant."

"Furthermore, cultivators are not that fragile."

"However, I am curious why you would choose to damage your own heart meridians. If you hadn't controlled the degree well, you might have truly suffered a massive drop in cultivation."

Otto sighed, not having figured out how to explain it.

Bai Zhu asked with some curiosity:

"Because of romantic feelings?"

Immediately, Bai Zhu shook his head and said:

"As a cultivator, romantic entanglements are not a necessity for cultivation. Only the endless Dao is worth a cultivator's pursuit."

"Moreover, I can see that Miss Kallen does not actually have any feelings of affection for you."

"At most, it is just a complex emotion of guilt and anger."

To be honest, Bai Zhu did not understand, nor did he support, Otto acting like a sycophant.

He felt that this junior brother had such great talent and such a passion for alchemy.

He should focus all his spirit on cultivation and alchemy; women would only delay his cultivation speed.

Especially a woman who did not like him.

Isn't this just being a sycophant?

Besides...

As a dignified cultivator, women are not worth pursuing; only the endless Great Dao is what a cultivator should pursue.

"You can't say it like that, doesn't the Sect Master also..."

"Junior Brother!"

Bai Zhu abruptly interrupted Otto, lowering his voice:

"Do not say things that shouldn't be said."

Otto gave a bitter smile and nodded:

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother. I was too careless."

"In any case, I know Kallen doesn't like me... but I still can't let her go."

"Senior Brother, you don't understand..."

Otto's eyes were somewhat melancholy.

"When I was young, I was the child least liked by anyone. I was born a member of the Apocalypse family, which fights against the Honkai in our world."

"My father was the Overseer of Schicksal."

"My sister was a warrior of Schicksal."

"Only I was a good-for-nothing with a weak body who would pant after running a few steps."

"In an ordinary family, this wouldn't matter, but in the Apocalypse family, it wouldn't do..."

"I was never looked upon favorably since I was a child; my father didn't like me, and others in the family thought I was useless..."

"I lived in discrimination every day. The only sister who doted on me also died on the battlefield, and they..."

A trace of mockery flashed in Otto's eyes.

"They use the idea that the souls of those who die in battle will ascend to heaven to numb others and numb themselves."

"I hated that era, and I hated everyone who was part of the Apocalypse family, including myself."

"If God truly had a spirit, why would he bring such disaster upon this world? I don't believe in him... and so I hated everything that believed in him even more..."

Bai Zhu listened silently to Otto's inner thoughts; this was the first time Otto had opened his heart in front of someone else.

Perhaps it was because Kallen had been resurrected, and he had let down his guard...

"But that day... that day..."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Otto's eyes.

"That day, the unloved boy sitting alone in the courtyard crying met the saint who climbed over the wall and reached out to him."

"And so, I had a new faith."

"The saint who smiled brightly at everyone and brought happiness and hope to all."

"Even when the people she protected sent her to the gallows, she was still willing to die to protect them."

"From that day on, I became her believer."

"She was the strongest Valkyrie of Schicksal at the time, a guardian deity, but she always, always supported me."

"She trusted me, believing that even without extraordinary power, I could become a hero who protects the world through wisdom."

"Senior Brother Bai Zhu, do you know? Back then, she called me a great inventor..."

Otto smiled very happily, but tears dripped from the corners of his eyes.

"Later... the saint was abandoned, and the parasites who benefited from her kindness framed her."

"And I, who was brought hope by her, released the Honkai Beast and caused her death."

"This world is so chaotic... it is neither fair nor reasonable; it persecutes heroes, breeds evil, is filled with ugliness, and has no beauty."

"The saint who should have lived died, while the parasites and I, who should have died, lived on."

"And I lingered on in the darkness for five hundred years..."

"From that moment on, I swore that no matter what, I would resurrect Kallen."

"And so, I became the Overseer of Schicksal, and I orchestrated tragedy after tragedy."

"The first thing I did was kill my father, replace him, and become the Overseer of Schicksal."

"After I took office, I killed everyone in the Apocalypse family, killed all the high-ranking officials of Schicksal..."

"I started the most terrifying massacre of that time..."

"For the next five hundred years, in order to resurrect Kallen, I did even more sinful things."

"Persecuting the people, persecuting Valkyries, human experimentation, playing with life and souls..."

"I had long since become the embodiment of sin..."

"But as long as I could resurrect Kallen, I feared nothing..."

512. Theresa: I call Kallen Grandma, Kiana calls Kallen Sister?

"Later, I gradually understood that the world allows consciousness to match a new container, but it does not allow a container to collect dissipated consciousness."

"And the power most needed to resurrect Kallen is the most powerful emotion of humanity: love..."

"But when I understood this, I was already a world-renowned villain, and I had long been thoroughly hated by the very power I needed most."

"But Shushan gave me new hope, a tangible hope."

"I successfully resurrected Kallen..."

"But Senior Brother, do you know..."

Otto gave a bitter smile and said faintly:

"In my script, Otto Apocalypse, the sinner who ruled the world for five hundred years, should have died before Kallen's resurrection."

"Taking the baseness into the grave, while the light... would be extended into the future by them."

"Perhaps it could be said that I was too cowardly; I wanted to escape."

"I dared not imagine how painful it would be for the purest saint to know all the sins I had committed to resurrect her."

"I never feared death, but I feared her disappointment, feared her hurting herself."

Otto sighed, paused, and said somewhat melancholically:

"But everything I feared most still happened."

"I dared not see Kallen's hateful and disappointed gaze, so..."

After hearing Otto's confession, Bai Zhu sighed and said faintly:

"Alright, although I still don't understand emotions, I... can understand some of your feelings."

"It's just that Miss Kallen's talent seems quite good; bearing the bloodline of the Kaslana family, she should be very powerful."

"When the time comes, she will eventually have to join Shushan. You can't hide from her forever. Find some time, and the two of you should have an honest talk."

"If you can't solve this problem, you will face inner demons in your future cultivation."

Have a talk...

Otto felt a bit panicked in his heart again. After a long silence, he said in a low voice:
