Chapter 403 Despicable
"Okay, these are not important. I don't really like talking about failed cases."

Zhou Tian gave He Yige a look, and He Yige nodded slightly, turned around and retreated back into the darkness, disappearing somewhere unknown.

"Let's get to the point. We have the same interests, so we should be able to cooperate." Zhou Tian said to Bai Yanliang seriously.

"You mean, you guys who are playing games with the lives of everyone in Yecheng want to cooperate with me?" Bai Yanliang was indifferent, but he still found it funny at this moment.

"I think there is nothing wrong with this behavior. We need the key and need to open the last gate to the fog world. This is the only way to make you realize that we are serious." Zhou Tian didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with his idea at all.

"What do you think of humans?" Bai Yanliang found it hard to imagine that the dedication and sacrifice he had witnessed in the fog over the past few days were of the same species as the disgusting man in front of him.

"People?" Zhou Tian seemed to be questioning, and also seemed to be chewing on the word.

He asked in return: "In your opinion, what is the biggest difference between humans and other creatures?"

"Feelings." Bai Yanliang gave an answer that Zhou Tian did not expect.

He shook the cup and smiled, "I thought that after reading this, you would give an answer like soul."

"But it's still wrong." Zhou Tian shook his head.

"I have done experiments. The biggest difference between humans and other species is not emotion or soul. You should know that dogs also have emotions, or rather, social animals have relatively abundant emotions. As for the soul, Yu Wenxuan is a good example. I think that with my will and soul strength as an adult, after occupying half of his body, his original consciousness will be devoured by me sooner or later."

"However, the development of the matter is completely different from what I thought. The components that currently constitute Yu Wenxuan's soul are half of my soul and half of Yu Wenxuan's own soul, but the state it manifests is another appearance. That person is not me, nor is he the original Yu Wenxuan. He has grown into his own appearance. In fact, you are the same in this regard. Bai Yanren expected to resurrect his brother, but the fact is that it was not his brother who was resurrected, nor was it the strange soul summoned by the Mist Realm. You... Bai Yanliang, you have grown into a brand new person."

"So, the soul is something that can be shaped and replaced. Such a thing should not be the foundation of human beings."

Zhou Tian’s remarks did shake Bai Yanliang’s heart a little.

The person in front of me is really strange, dangerous, but also curious.

Zhou Tian indeed possesses a lot of knowledge that others do not know, and the perspectives gained from him can be beneficial to anyone.

"what is that?"

Bai Yanliang didn't completely believe what he said, but he was also curious about his conclusion.

“It’s the spiritual world.”

“The spiritual world, that is, the subjective world, is formed by human conscious activities.”

"Can you... understand?"

Zhou Tian looked at Bai Yanliang expectantly.

Of course Bai Yanliang knew what it meant. He had a wide range of interests, had read many books, and had memorized a lot of content.

There is also mention of knowledge about the spiritual world.

The spiritual world is composed of various aspects such as perception, attention, memory, imagination, emotion, will and personality traits, which interact with the external environment.

The spiritual world is indeed human beings' own exclusive world. It is also a world based on the information of the real world and constructed with human consciousness as the framework. Generally speaking, everyone has his or her own spiritual world, and the spiritual world does exist, but compared to the real world, the spiritual world does not exist.

"Very good." Although Bai Yanliang did not answer, Zhou Tian knew from the look in Bai Yanliang's eyes that he understood what he meant.

He really needs someone he can share with, someone who is knowledgeable, emotionally stable, and even rational enough not to be affected by emotions.

According to his observation, Bai Yanliang is such a person.

When Zhou Tian thought of Bai Yanliang's origins, he was full of expectations for the natives of the Mist Realm. Perhaps... that world is full of people like Bai Yanliang, and his ideas and theories will shine even brighter in that world!
"Even ghosts cannot invade the spiritual world of humans, so this is the fundamental difference between humans and other species." Zhou Tian said firmly.

Bai Yanliang did not comment on this argument.

"Don't you believe it? Have you ever thought about what the criteria for Wu Ji's selection of people are? Is it completely random? Then why are there no old people and children?"

Zhou Tian suddenly asked.

Bai Yanliang frowned slightly: "Are you trying to say that Wu Ji makes choices based on the strength of a person's spiritual world?"

"That's right!" Zhou Tian looked at Bai Yanliang happily and nodded vigorously.

“Perception, attention, memory, imagination, emotion, will, and all aspects work together to form the spiritual world.”

"The spiritual world of a child has not yet been fully formed, and the spiritual world of an old man has already decayed and collapsed. They...will not be seen as complete people by Wu Ji."

"So, you understand now." Zhou Tian said word by word, "It's not [I regard people as something], but... I don't regard them as human beings at all."

"The people chosen by Wu Ji have strong spiritual worlds. Some of them have experienced many hardships, some have extraordinary memories, some have sharp five senses, and some have strong wills... In short, they are outstanding in at least one aspect and are not lagging behind in other aspects. Only these people can be chosen by Wu Ji, and only these people can be considered human beings."

Zhou Tian's voice was not cold, but rather a straightforward and matter-of-fact tone.

"Therefore, those in Yecheng are not considered human beings. I will not feel sorry for this, nor will I have any psychological burden." Zhou Tian smiled cheerfully.

This person... is really evil to the core.

Bai Yanliang did not hide his expression at all. After all, the death of Qinian was also due to Dark Abyss. He was already very restrained as he could still stand here and listen to Zhou Tian's speech.

"If that's all you want to say, I'm leaving."

Bai Yanliang dared to follow in, so he must have a trump card.

The key on him is enough for him to open this space and return to Ye City.

"No, you will cooperate, otherwise... I will make them feel a little uncomfortable."

Zhou Tian's voice made Bai Yanliang stare at his eyes.

"What do you mean."

Zhou Tian shrugged slightly: "It's nothing interesting. I have done a lot of things over the years."

"The Baiyan people have blocked the qualifications of us old people to enter this Mist Gathering, so of course I have to think of some ways on my own."

"Cloning your body is the first method, and splitting half of your soul into Yu Wenxuan's body is the second method."

"As for... the third method... it's more despicable." He scratched his face embarrassedly.

"Humans are still humans and cannot possess special abilities. But if that were the case, we would be at a disadvantage when fighting against evil spirits!" Zhou Tian said indignantly, "So, I did some tricks on some of the selected players."

"For example... eyes can see in the dark, can see souls..."

"For example... it can eat ghosts."

Zhou Tian met Bai Yanliang's dead gaze, looked at him without dodging, and spoke softly.
