Judge: "Goodness exists. But it can also not exist."

Little Taotie blinked her big eyes, thoughtful.

"Can you figure it out yourself?"

"I think, I probably can."

The Judge laughed, "Then tell me what you think."

Little Taotie frowned slightly, her little face quite serious: "Originally, helping someone is a good deed, but if you’ve done bad things to this person before, committed evil, then all subsequent seemingly good deeds are not called good deeds, that’s called... what’s it called..."

Little Taotie slapped her forehead, her little face softened, her Little Dimple sank in, showing a shy and cute smile, sweet as honey.

"I remembered, that’s called making amends, not doing good."

If changing the perspective on past evil deeds to help someone counts as good deeds, then many will want to foster goodness with evil. So such actions at most cancel out past malice, but not completely. It just cancels out a small part.

So ten times the goodness might not make up for even one time of evil.

When Little Taotie understood the rules, she wanted to say something to Lord Judge, but everything in front of her had already changed, nothing existed anymore.

Hua Jinyan worriedly shouted: "What are you spacing out for? Are you okay? Watch out! Be careful!"

Little Taotie listened to the voice and looked over, showing her signature sweet smile.

Hua Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief.

He noticed Little Taotie’s earlier obvious distraction but didn’t understand why she was spacing out, only thanked that during her distraction she didn’t fall off the high tower.

The newly built Ancient Pagoda completely sealed the born Elemental Spirits.

When all the Elemental Spirits were once again suppressed under the Ancient Pagoda, they clearly felt this time was different. Previously, the Ancient Pagoda suppressed them like self-confined beasts, only able to shut out everything by self-seclusion, but now the thin membrane outside the Elemental Spirits had broken, each Elemental Spirit gained freedom.

Yet not one was willing to leave beneath the Ancient Pagoda; beneath it, they could be bound for better cultivation, to restore their Spiritual Body sooner and obtain their chance to reincarnate.

And just at the moment the Ancient Pagoda’s construction was completed, the passage under the black stone finally revealed itself.

In the place where the Formation was set, the ashes of the Formation Flag were completely carried away by a gust of wind, leaving no traces.

"Want to go in and take a look?" The old man asked the two children.

Actually, he leaned more towards sending the two children back.

The eight people who burned the Formation Flag had long since arrived at the cave entrance, peering inside.

The passage was deep and bottomless.

Little Taotie had an illusion, like when Queen Flower Lady poked her head in to look, she worried a giant beast would appear inside, open a big mouth, and "whoosh," eat everyone!

Hua Jinyan paused for a moment, looked at the entranced Little Taotie, and said: "We’re not going down."

Little Taotie wasn’t pleased, "I don’t want you speaking for me!"

The old man asked amusingly, "So, are you going?"

Little Taotie decisively answered, "I’m not going."

Hua Jinyan: "What’s the difference?"

Little Taotie puffed out her chest and raised her head, "It’s definitely different! One is a decision I made myself, I’m the protagonist of my own story; the other one you answered, you answered for me, then I have no existence meaning. Oh well, it’s very profound anyway!"

Little Taotie touched the outer wall of the Ancient Pagoda cast in gold, internally envious, muttering, "I also want to build a Golden Ancient Tower of my own."
