"Good person..."
Including those Immortal Alliance Dark Departnt grandmasters, everyone from the bottom of their hearts felt absurd.
The grandmasters of the Immortal Alliance Dark Departnt are all ones who do "dirty work," yet seldom have they seen sothing like this... how should one put it, such large-scale attacks on intelligent life is sothing the Immortal Alliance has hardly encountered a few tis.
This has already reached the level of "war."
Fan Zhongxing was exasperated: "You dare call yourself a good person? How many people have you killed?"
"I haven't calculated exactly, let see..." Wang Qi counted on his fingers: "The death toll from the Reincarnation System is over a hundred, less than four hundred... oh, two hundred seventy-five people, thanks, Old Jia. Following that, those I personally eliminated... the woman who died during my first confrontation with the Holy Emperor Venerable must have been from the Karma Fire Divine Lotus Sect, and then her master counts too? Although I believe that was the Holy Emperor Venerable who killed them... One died when the test loser ate dust, then was eliminated, um, um, and oh, right, that 'Heaven and Earth Have Righteousness' evil path old ghost. Three from the Ruyi Daoist School can be attributed to , but how can Guan Wuji be blad on ? That was definitely the Holy Emperor Venerable's doing..."
Finally, Wang Qi said: "All things considered, only three or four hundred deaths can be directly attributed to , but that ti when the Holy Emperor Venerable killed tens of thousands... The main person responsible for their deaths was the Holy Emperor Venerable!"
Fan Zhongxing was upset: "The ones I've seen, the ones who died in the Reincarnation World are more than just these few..."
"Oh, I almost forgot if you didn't ntion it." Wang Qi pulled a pouch from his waist: "I have so more here."
Liu Huantang took the pouch and checked it: "These are several hundreds more..."
"Claid dead publicly." Wang Qi shrugged: "In summary, the Ancient thod Practitioners I personally eliminated are quite few — if you insist on counting those killed by the Holy Emperor Venerable on , then it's as if I exchanged approximately ten thousand casualties to seize Spirit Phoenix Island. No Heavenly Sword Envoy could have done it better than , unless they were a Carefree Stage Cultivator."
Fan Zhongxing pointed at the surrounding people, yelling: "What about these people? Them? Yes, I admit, many of them are scum, and deserve to die. But, have you considered that among them there might be good people as well? They're now practically dead!"
Wang Qi shrugged: "I don't consider it."
"You..."
"If dozens of Void Refining period Heavenly Sword Envoys charged in, would the aftermath of their battle with the Holy Emperor Venerable differentiate which cultivators should live and which should die?" Wang Qi said: "Sa principle applies. I am risking my life fighting the Holy Emperor Venerable, and if the battle affects you, it's fortunate if you co out alive."
Fan Zhongxing helplessly lowered his head: "This..." He struggled internally for a long ti, then said: "You indeed make valid points, yet emotionally I can't accept it."
He was also one of the "ordinary Ancient thod Practitioners," the only difference being the false identity of a "Reincarnator."
"Sympathy" is an important part of the human clan's ntal activity.
Wang Qi patted his shoulder: "Kid, I've already let you reform and rebuild your life without holding grudges — what more do you want?"
"Wh..."
Fan Zhongxing had more to ask, but Wang Qi had already walked past him and looked around. He found Jia Chenglie's family leaning against a corner of the wall, along with so low-level Cultivators seen in the Heavenly Book Tower Xinglin Building, and said: "Elder Xu is quite nostalgic, isn't he?"
This was clearly Xu Xueqing's doing.
Xu Xueqing snorted: "For my own future, I sold them, yet they remained loyal to . Within my capacity, I will take responsibility."
"Actually, there's no need." Wang Qi pointed at Jia Chenglie: "Can I borrow him?"
Xu Xueqing frowned: "What are you up to again?"
Wang Qi walked to Jia Chenglie's side and snapped his fingers. Jia Chenglie moved slightly. Wang Qi shouted loudly in front of him: "Xia Li, Xia Li, Xia Li, Xia Li, Xia Li, Xia Li."
The na seed to trigger Jia Chenglie, awakening so "mories." Hate filled his expression. However, he appeared to forget how to control his face, all his facial features scrunched up. Then, he shook his head in confusion and cried like a baby.
Disturbingly, his limbs flailed like a baby's. Yet he seed to entirely forget how to command his arms and legs, slapping his head with a hand. The force he used was at a Golden Core level, strong enough to crush his own forehead. Seeing that he was about to die by his own hand, Wang Qi seized his wrist.
Both had cultivation levels of Golden Core, but their actual power was worlds apart. Jia Chenglie imdiately beca immobilized.
After his wrist was grabbed, Jia Chenglie seed scared and started to sob.
Xu Xueqing was shocked: "He seems to... still rember 'Xia Li' as his enemy?"
"He rembers everything; he just can't comprehend his own mories." Wang Qi looked around: "You might have misunderstood my explanation about Holy Emperor Venerable, thinking I used the sa thod on him. You've wronged an innocent person!"
Fan Zhongxing was stunned: "So you are..."
"Let's start with a brief explanation. The classification of human mory." Wang Qi cleared his throat and began to speak eloquently: "Human mory arises from the dynamic changes in the connections between nerve cells, at least for low-level cultivators. High-level cultivators below the Divine Separation Stage repeat this process in the solidified spiritual power organs that have fused with the soul. And these mories are not like diaries arranged in a chronological 'day one,' 'day two.' Before ti, they are classified by 'format.' Knowledge and experiential mories are different."
"Generally, by content, mory can be divided into several categories: knowledge mory [Earth calls it 'semantic mory'], situational mory, physical body mory [Earth calls it 'procedural mory'], automatic mory, emotional mory, etc."
"Moreover, by 'content,' human mory can be divided into declarative and non-declarative mory. The forr can be expressed in words, while the latter cannot."
If one insists on analogizing, human mory can indeed be considered as a large application program, appearing as one entity, but running countless files inside.
Wang Qi pointed to his brain: "Simply put, the spell I constructed destroyed all non-declarative mories, retained declarative mory, and then focused on destroying the knowledge mory within declarative mory."
A Grandmaster probably from Tianling Ridge clicked his tongue: "That's quite ruthless..."
The majority of human mory is non-declarative. Non-declarative physical body mory and emotional mory account for the vast majority. Emotional mory, when triggered, even takes precedence over any other type of mory.
It is precisely because of the high priority of emotional mory that people are extrely prone to irrational behavior when dominated by emotions. The vast non-declarative mory makes concepts like "feelings" and "mystical thoughts" always popular.
This is determined by human consciousness.
Wang Qi concluded: "In simple terms, they rember every experience—the details of every day since birth are rembered clearly. However, they cannot understand these mories themselves, so the mories cannot be recalled."
The analogy remains "ga-like." Wang Qi's behavior is akin to deleting all the obscurely impressive files like PdxConnect.dll, checksum_manifest, anomaly_failures, story_events from a ga folder, leaving behind only the ga's runti and copious CGs, story texts, and so on.
Human mory is holistic, making it challenging to delete a portion of mory without disrupting its integrity.
These individuals' mories of languages, characters, logical thinking, and even other knowledge were entirely deleted by Wang Qi, rendering them unable to comprehend their own mories.
Jia Chenglie rembers 'Xia Li' as 'the enemy,' but he doesn't understand the concept of 'enemy.' His emotional mory of his resentnt towards Xia Li is also gone, leading to his expression of 'confusion.'
Other Ancient thod Practitioners also recognize their parents, friends, teachers, sects, and all social relationships, but they cannot comprehend the significance of these relations, leading to their social relationships collapsing and Spirit Phoenix Island's Human Dao crumbling.
Furthermore, because their physical body mory was erased, the circuits controlling 'movent' haven't regenerated, making them unable to command their own limbs, akin to newborns. A newborn's slap doesn't plaster their face. Given that the lowest cultivation level here is Qi Cultivation Stage, sealing all these individuals' mana is the safest approach.
Wang Qi casually sealed Jia Chenglie's mana, suppressing his acupoints and making him stiff: "You need extensive early childhood education, starting with mnemonic learning content like 三字经 and 千字文. Since they all have enough situational mory, they're small geniuses by preschool standards, advancing swiftly. Eventually, those leftover mories can be recalled. If willing, they can even reorganize social relationships—for example, you could choose to stay at Ruyi Daoist School. Just without the Ancient thod Cultivation thod."
"Moreover, since their emotional mories have been erased, enemies eting won't be filled with rage—perhaps they might exchange a few words out of 'morality,' but there won't be life-or-death encounters. Friendships born from mutual interests can be rebuilt—how was it said? 'Creating new mories together'? That's probably the idea."
——washing away the past...
For so reason, Fan Zhongxing suddenly thought of this phrase.
Half a bowl of ngpo Soup, wiping away yesterday's various hatreds, and then proceeding with familiar people towards an entirely new tomorrow together... They will develop new personalities and have more hopeful lives.
Tears flowed uncontrollably. He wiped his eyes vigorously but didn't quite want to thank Wang Qi, so he bowed.
"Kid, listen carefully, I've told you many stories before; these stories may be false, but the underlying logic is true, else no one would be engrossed. You should extract true elents from those false ones, preserving truth through fiction." Wang Qi leaned back against the city wall: "As for everything else—Ignorant masses, whether you want it or not, whether you accept it or not, regardless if you think the process t your expectations, I've brought you more material abundance, a potential for longevity, full lives, and free thought. Whether you desire it or not, just take your anger towards and enjoy the beautiful life I've gifted you—anyway, whatever follows isn't my concern."
