Taishang Daoist pointed at Ye Wuji. "This is why someone like him is needed—possessing a Chaos Spiritual Root, able to understand and balance two extremes. It is not about completely shattering the rules, nor is it about blindly following them, but about finding a middle path to reshape the rules of the Heavenly Dao and make them fairer and more reasonable."
Looking at the constantly shifting images in the pool, Ye Wuji felt a wave of dizziness. Those images grew clearer, as if telling him a truth buried by history. He saw the true faces of the five Controllers, saw how they split, how they fought, and how it ultimately led to the current layout of the cultivation world.
"Senior Taishang," Ye Wuji said with difficulty, "you say I should find balance, but how exactly should I do that? The existing rules of the Heavenly Dao have existed for tens of thousands of years. Even if there are problems, they cannot be easily changed by a single person."
