Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 482 - 384: A Clear Conscience

"How did you come to this world?" Zhao Yi asked.

The protagonist explained, "After the root of the Nether Tree broke the world barrier of the Land of the End, I took advantage of the moment it wasn’t paying attention and slipped through the crack, arriving in this world."

Zhao Yi raised an eyebrow, "Where is the Nether Tree now? Is it still in the Land of the End?"

The protagonist shook his head, "I don’t know. I’ve been sightseeing in this world for some time now, so I’m not sure about what’s going on in the Land of the End."

Zhao Yi was immediately speechless.

Zhao Yi suddenly realized that neither the protagonist nor himself was particularly keen on the plight of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

After all, it’s the Nether Tree, even the world’s will couldn’t help but warn of the tribulation it brings.

Now that the Nether Tree has invaded the Land of the End, it might have already taken root there, and then using the Land of the End as a fulcrum, it could start invading the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

Listening to Hertz and the protagonist’s previous descriptions, Zhao Yi realized the Land of the End was indeed the most suitable place for the Nether Tree to take root.

Since the Land of the End seeks to engulf the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds, it is definitely directly linked to these worlds simultaneously.

This is also the reason why the protagonist was able to travel from the Land of the End to the Magic World.

Once the Nether Tree has taken root in the Land of the End, it can easily invade all worlds simultaneously.

The Nether Tree Tribulation has begun!

But neither the protagonist who initiated this calamity nor the only one who knew about it, Zhao Yi, had any intention of stopping the Nether Tree.

It’s quite normal that Zhao Yi didn’t want to intervene.

On one hand, he neither had cultivation nor mastery over any Law Fragments; attempting to obstruct the Nether Tree would be suicidal.

On the other hand, Zhao Yi had no fondness for the people of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

In fact, the creatures from Otherworldly Worlds didn’t consider the inhabitants of the Cultivation World as humans either.

Whether it was previously sending monsters into the Cultivation World for mass slaughter or attacking Zhao Yi when he entered the Spirit Realm, all were the handiwork of the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds.

Hertz, previously speaking to Zhao Yi, always referred to him as a "commoner," showing the attitude of people from the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds towards the beings of the Cultivation World.

What Zhao Yi couldn’t stand was the slaughter of the Cultivation World beings by Otherworld creatures.

The Spirit Realm led a monster invasion into the Cultivation World, where countless beings were slaughtered.

Even if Zhao Yi wanted to be a saint, he couldn’t reconcile it with himself, nor could he face the deceased beings of the Cultivation World!

Therefore, upon hearing that the Nether Tree Tribulation had started, Zhao Yi not only didn’t warn the Spirit Realm but instead secretly looked forward to it.

Zhao Yi wished that the Nether Tree would speed up, so he could see the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds perish sooner.

Zhao Yi believed that the protagonist was surely thinking the same thing at this moment.

The protagonist practiced Buddhism.

Although according to him, he now practiced Mahayana Buddhism, free from the many taboos of Hinayana Buddhism.

However, whether Mahayana or Hinayana Buddhism, Zhao Yi believed it certainly wouldn’t ignore suffering and not save.

The protagonist not only completely ignored the crisis facing the Spirit Realm but did not show any signs of backlash, indicating that he had a clear conscience.

Having a clear conscience is said to be the most difficult hurdle in the Buddhist Sect.

The Buddha’s inability to overcome this hurdle was what led to the fall of the Nether Tree.

Back then, the Buddha traded the Cultivation World for the Divine Artifact, yet even then he couldn’t maintain a clear conscience.

The protagonist’s provocation of the Nether Tree could lead to the tragic deaths of billions in the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds, a severity thousands of times greater than the Buddha’s actions.

Yet the protagonist remains calm, completely unfazed by this challenge.

It’s evident how the slaughter by Spirit Realm monsters in the Cultivation World profoundly impacted the protagonist, to the extent that facing the destruction of countless worlds doesn’t fluster him!

Seeing Zhao Yi’s contemplative expression, the protagonist knew immediately that he understood his intentions and no longer needed to say anything to him. He turned around to continue wandering with those mages and dragons.

The protagonist was never one to suffer in silence.

Previously exiled to the Land of the End by the Spirit Realm, if it weren’t for the Nether Tree breaking the barrier, he would have almost died there.

This life-and-death vendetta couldn’t go unavenged!

The protagonist had been wandering in the Magic World, searching for the Sage of this world.

Although he was uncertain if those Sages had participated in the past battles in the Spirit Realm, as long as they were Sages, you couldn’t kill the wrong one!

The protagonist searched for a long time but couldn’t find the Sage of this world and even considered giving up, only to accidentally hear that the Sage had already taken notice of him.

The mages were conspiring to trick the protagonist into going to the Sage’s place to meet his end!

The protagonist immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

That’s what they mean by seeking something high and low, only to find it effortlessly.

Since he couldn’t find those Sages, it was just the same that those Sages came looking for him.

Thus, the protagonist had been following these mages around, watching their clumsy performances, waiting for the Sages to appear.

If he hadn’t suddenly seen Zhao Yi, the protagonist would have continued pretending until he met those Sages.

Having met Zhao Yi, the protagonist wanted to know what he was doing there.

It’s like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

Although the protagonist didn’t particularly like Zhao Yi, encountering an acquaintance in this strange world was indeed comforting.

If Zhao Yi’s matter wasn’t too troublesome, the protagonist wouldn’t mind lending him a hand.

With that thought in mind, the protagonist asked Zhao Yi, "How did you come here? Is there a problem in your world?"

Zhao Yi shook his head, "The New World is running well, without any issues!"

Zhao Yi continued, "I have a few goals for coming here this time. First, to investigate the traces of the Nether Tree. Now that I’ve learned about it, that mission is complete! Second, regarding the second wave of monsters from the Spirit Realm invading the Cultivation World, that mission is also done. Now, there’s only one last task left..."

Upon hearing about the Spirit Realm sending more monsters into the Cultivation World, the protagonist’s expression grew even darker.

"Those bastards deserve to die!"

The protagonist cursed angrily and then asked Zhao Yi, "What’s your last task?"

Zhao Yi replied, "Kill a few Sages and take their Law."

The protagonist seemed to guess Zhao Yi’s intention, nodding slightly, "Understood."

Seeing this, Hertz, who was nearby, was dumbfounded, unsure of what to say.

How could these two treat the God of Magic like someone they could kill at will?

Hertz shook his head, still pondering the previous issue.

He continued to question the protagonist, "How exactly did you get out of the Land of the End?"

"The Land of the End broke." The protagonist’s words were concise.

Hertz was left stunned, dumbfounded, "What do you mean the Land of the End broke?"

The Land of the End is the final place for everything.

How could such a place possibly break?
