49 Tonight, I want to stay with you (1/2)
Back in the Divine Realm, everyone knew that karmic laws existed along with destiny and fate laws, but no one was ever able to comprehend them. They became the Enigmatic Tripartite Laws.
Enigmatic Tripartite Laws had no form and was illusionary. It was intangible. It could not be seen but could be felt. This was most obvious when it came to the Laws of Karma.
When one mention Karmic Laws, they would associate with karmic virtues and karmic sins. Like their names implies; karmic sins are accumulated by willfully committing evil, while karmic virtues are accumulated by doing good. People with karmic virtues are blessed with good luck, while people with karmic sins are plague with bad luck.
A short cut to gaining karmic virtues was to slay evil beings stained with karmic sins and vice versa for gaining karmic sins.
Leon's cultivation level was too low to feel the karmic laws and had no idea whether the karmic laws governed this world or not, but there were no disadvantages to killing Alroy and only advantages.
Firstly, he did not like Alroy, who's hands were stained with innocent blood. Secondly, He had invaded his territory and killed his people. Their presence also threatens the safety of his parents and thirdly, if he could accumulate karmic virtues, he would be blessed with good luck.
Although he does not believe in luck and only believe that his fate and destiny are decided by his own hands, there was no harm accumulating some karmic virtues even if he could not feel it.
Being thrown into such a chaotic world, life was insignificant and fragile like a flickering candle flame that could be easily snuffed out at any time. Leon would need all karmic virtues he could get his hands on, if he wanted to improve his chances of surviving in such a world.
The moment his memories were awakened, and many truths were uncovered, he was already burdened with many responsibilities. The fate of humanity had nothing to do with him, but since he understands the bleak future they have, he would not turn a blind eye to it.
Ancient doctors had 3 levels of treatment; one, they treat the illness. Two, they treat the body. Three, they treat the country. In this case, treating the country refers to solving the problem humanity face as a whole.
Although it sounds far-fetched and unreasonable that doctors could treat a country, the existence of cultivation makes just about anything possible as long as the necessary threshold of strength was achieved. People always try to make sense of the world with logical reasoning, but nothing ever made sense in the world of cultivation. The only thing that did make sense is that nothing made sense.
He laments at how ignorant and easy the upper-class people live their life. They care neither for the commoners below them nor the threats that loomed outside and in the darkness. Ignorance was a sort of bliss he guessed.
Leon head back upstairs to the ground floor. Care not for what others do if it does not affect him and those close to him. He shook his head. His thoughts wonder off too much.
”Manager Doug, has the awakening pills been handed out yet?” Leon asked.
”Yes, Boss. I dare not delay any tasks you assign to me. Is there something you need, Boss?” Manager Doug asked nervously. He had not reason to be, but the boss's intentions are hard to guess.
”That's fine. I'll will be staying the night here. Arrange a room for me.” Leon intended to ask manager Doug to hand the pills to Beckett and the others, since the pills have already been given to the other core members, it didn't matter. He can just refine another batch of awakening pills. Beckett and the others had to be rewarded for their loyalty.
”Yes, Boss. Did you wish to continue using the room on the second floor or should use the presidential suite on the top floor?”
”Presidential suite huh?” He did not need such a big room to himself. ”The same room on the second floor will do.”
”The room had been reserved for you this entire time, Boss. You can head over and use the room any time. The door should not be locked. Even if it is, I'm sure someone would open the door for you.” A knowing smile appeared on Doug's face. His voice was a bit vague.
Although Leon was puzzled, he wasn't bothered to ask. He was rather tired after running left and right the entire day and night, literally. He wasn't joking. During the day, he lapped the field on campus and at night, he lapped the Western District. But at the end of the day, it was quite eventful. He had some pleasant gains from the trouble that came knocking. Like the old saying went; fortune and disaster came in pairs. The scale was just smaller.
Arriving at the same room he was using on the second floor earlier in the night, he reached his hands out for the doorknob and turned it. The door was not locked and was opened easily. Inside, Aria was seen sitting quietly on the bed with her eyes closed. She was still trying to digest all the information Leon had transmitted to her. She wasn't sure which technique to practice first.
The sound caused by the door opening made her frown as she opened her eyes. Seeing who was at the door, Aria's frown instantly changed into a happy smile. ”You're back.”
