Chapter 1639: Chapter 1486: Yin Yang Inn 42
The enormous array hung in the sky, spinning constantly. Thousands of golden lights followed the Thousand Silk Entanglement, reaching the ultimate avatar, to enter the dreams of those connected by Thousand Silk Entanglement.
Everyone was dreaming, having a very warm and sweet dream. In the dream, they encountered humans, animals, and even a little insect needing help.
Someone rescued a drowning puppy by the water, another helped up an elderly person who had fallen, yet another helped a lost child find their parents, and a wealthy family established a porridge shelter, personally ladling porridge to disaster victims.
A child picked up a leaf and placed it in front of an ant trapped by a small puddle, while a child from a wealthy family handed their cake to a beggar by the street.
Not everyone in the dream did good deeds, but more people did what good deeds they could.
In this dream world, people indulge in imagining themselves as different kinds of good people, doing different kinds of good deeds.
Dreams ranged from saving the world and imagining oneself as a hero, to picking up a Copper Coin on the road and returning it to the owner. Some people would unleash the evil thoughts in their hearts, but this was just a minority.
Most people in the dream imagined themselves as a greatly admired person, doing various good deeds, chased by myriad people, clad in glory.
After each person did a good deed in the dream, a white ball of light emerged from above their head. The light ball gathered along the Thousand Silk Entanglement avatar to the array at Qi Shuangshuang’s feet.
White balls of light gathered from the dreams of countless individuals onto the array, accumulating more and more, the white light on the array burgeoned, resembling a radiant sun.
Qi Shuangshuang closed her eyes, focusing intently on commanding the Thousand Silk Entanglement avatar to gather the white light absorbed from human dreams into the array at her feet.
On the other side, completely transformed into a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, Li Yu’s snow-white fur had been entirely blackened by the black smoke emitted by the Taotie.
The speed of invasion by these black evil thoughts increased, quickly even the red fiery long fur under Li Yu’s feet and the red demon patterns on his tail were tainted black.
Slowly, Li Yu felt that his power seemed to be invaded and assimilated by these evil thoughts. The Taotie, which had been controlled and unable to move, started struggling desperately again while he became weaker.
Li Yu looked up at Qi Shuangshuang, who was still focused on controlling the Thousand Silk Entanglement avatar, gritted his teeth and unleashed his full power to restrain the rebellious Taotie once more.
Even as he felt the evil thoughts intruding into his most vital inner core, Li Yu had no intention of letting go for self-preservation. He said he trusted Qi Shuangshuang, and he truly trusted her.
Fortunately, at this moment, the white light on the array beneath Qi Shuangshuang’s feet finally began to change, like a small sun, the white light started transforming.
The white light first produced limbs, then a body, head, and tail!
The creature formed from the white light had a lion-like body, a pair of horns on its head, a goat-like beard on its chin, it was the auspicious beast Bai Ze.
Upon Bai Ze’s appearance, Qi Shuangshuang immediately shouted to Li Yu, who was almost exhausted: "Li Yu, let go of the Taotie, let Bai Ze deal with it!"
Li Yu was already struggling to maintain his position, upon hearing Qi Shuangshuang’s words, he immediately released the Taotie he was controlling.
After letting go of the Taotie, Li Yu no longer had the strength to fly in the air, his body weakly fell from the sky towards the ground. However, he did not hit the ground, instead, he was caught by Qi Shuangshuang.
Li Yu only felt himself enveloped in a large mass of white light, the light penetrated his body, expelled all the black evil thoughts occupying him.
On the other side, the Bai Ze formed from white light had a mountain-like size. Upon manifesting, it swiftly split into twelve avatars, each pounced on the twelve Taoties released by Li Yu.
The Taotie stirred its body, releasing swirling black smoke. In response, Bai Ze also released countless white rays, enveloping the black smoke.
The black smoke unleashed by the Taotie met the white light as snow meets scorching sun, instantly disintegrating completely, and at an extremely rapid pace.
The Taotie saw its black smoke disappearing so quickly, somewhat panicked, it could only gather more black smoke to release.
Yet the white light emitted by Bai Ze was equally endless, obliterating the black smoke emitted by the Taotie at a faster rate, and closing in on the Taotie step by step.
On the other side, the black smoke formed from evil thoughts inside Li Yu’s body was completely expelled by the white light. Not only that, but Li Yu felt as if his body had been reinforced by the white light.
When the white light dissipated, Li Yu’s fur returned to being snow-white, the demon patterns became even more vivid, and his mana seemed considerably solidified.
Li Yu looked at the increasingly beleaguered Taotie being pressed by Bai Ze, not having time for surprise, he saw one of the Taotie’s avatars being fiercely bitten on the neck by Bai Ze’s avatar.
After the Taotie was bitten on the neck by Bai Ze, its body quickly melted and shrank, disappearing entirely in Bai Ze’s mouth in no time.
Li Yu watched, dumbfounded, unable to help but look at Qi Shuangshuang with great shock, asking, "This, what on earth is happening?
The Taotie is manifested from human evil thoughts, immortal and indestructible, how could it be killed so easily?!
What are these white lights? Where did these auspicious beasts Bai Ze come from? How can the white light kill these Taoties manifested from human evil thoughts?"
Li Yu’s astonishment left him almost incoherent, Qi Shuangshuang smiled faintly, saying: "I’ve told you before, these Taoties are actually quite easy to deal with.
They were born from human hearts, thus they can also die from human hearts. The evil thoughts of human hearts birthed them, and what can eliminate them, naturally, are the good thoughts of human hearts.
First, humans are inherently good. Although human hearts may brew evil thoughts, even the best good person might have a fleeting minor evil thought, and it becomes the nourishment for Taotie.
However, do people act out just because they’ve had evil thoughts? They do not. Due to rational control, laws, and order, even when human hearts breed evil thoughts, they’re suppressed.
Few people unleash their evil thoughts to kill or commit arson, many more follow rational suppression, follow the world’s rules, living step by step. Maybe they never do good in life, but they do no evil.
And this itself is a form of goodness, not doing evil equals doing good, in such hearts lies dormant goodness that can be triggered.
Often, human hearts are not unwilling to do good, but lack strength, unwilling to harm themselves so they don’t do good, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to do good.
The array I set up is to trigger these good thoughts in people’s hearts, lead them to perform kind acts in dreams.
The goodness may be small or great, and no matter what kind of kind act is performed, it transforms into power, gathered in the array to become a force to counter evil.
Among this goodness, the greatest power comes from many innately kind individuals, who in reality are willing to be kind to others, naturally offering more good thoughts in dreams.
Human evil never ceases, but likewise, human goodness perpetually exists; as long as goodness persists, even if Taotie rebirths a thousand times, it will be eliminated."
