Yun Lintian raised an eyebrow slightly at the Abyssal Ghost Knight's words. "A great dream?" His voice was calm. "That's more like a meaningless dream."
"Meaningless? Hahaha!"
The Ghost Knight laughed, the sound echoing unnaturally through the grey wasteland. "What's wrong with it? I'm trying to achieve true peace—eternal peace. As long as the cycle continues, suffering will never end. Another Nian Shi will rise. Another war will begin. There can be no peace while this world exists."
Yun Lintian remained calm. "I don't deny that suffering will continue. That is the nature of life. As for another Nian Shi appearing..." His mismatched eyes gleamed. "There's nothing to fear as long as true balance is maintained."
"True balance?" The Ghost Knight scoffed. "Now you sound just like the Creator. She was delusional, thinking the Primordial Gods she created would remain obedient forever. But greed consumed them all in the end."
