Chen Yan raised an eyebrow. With his vision, he could clearly see the face of the taxi driver who had cut in from the front.
A middle-aged man with a crew cut. How should I put it? His face was a mix of slyness and a kind of market rogue arrogance.
Let’s say, it’s the kind of face you would imagine for a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong.
Chen Yan stared at the side of the man’s face...
All he had to do was lift his finger, and the Finger Sword could pierce through two layers of glass directly, then pierce into his neck, severing his carotid artery, spraying blood all over the taxi’s cabin.
Or, he could get out of the car now, walk over and rip the car door open— even if the door was locked, it was no more than paper under his strength.
Then he could drag him out of the car, stomp his leg until it broke, and then stomp again to snap his neck!
And then...
Chen Yan shook his head vigorously, suppressing these thoughts that surfaced in his mind.
It seed...sothing wasn’t quite right with him.
Chen Yan sighed lightly and furrowed his brows.
Why was his murderous intent so strong?
The left-turn green light lit up, and the taxi in front imdiately squeezed into the traffic line, the driver seed to flash a smug smile, a look of having gained a small advantage.
Chen Yan looked on expressionlessly, then withdrew his gaze.
He didn’t take any action.
But...
Chen Yan knew in his heart, sothing was wrong with him!
·
Are such people annoying? Yes, they are.
But do they deserve to die? Not necessarily.
However...right in front of him, such a person was like an ant, killing him was almost no harder than crushing an ant.
Rules?
Could the rules of this world stop him?
·
All the way, Chen Yan drove calmly, though his mind was spinning with these thoughts.
He initially wanted to contact Lu Sisi, but after realizing there was an issue with his ntal Realm, he dismissed the idea of reaching out to Lu Sisi.
After returning ho, Chen Yan closed the door and locked himself in the basent training room.
·
The issue was with the ntal Realm, but the root was in his cognition.
Chen Yan realized that his cognition was broken.
Cognition is not cultural knowledge, not how many math formulas you know, or whether you understand astrophysics or quantum physics—it’s not these things.
Cognition refers to what you believe the rules of this world are and how you think this world should operate.
Before cultivation, Chen Yan’s cognition was always that of an ordinary human.
Even after cultivation, Chen Yan actually hadn’t changed his cognition—though he had already obtained abilities beyond ordinary humans, capable of doing many things others couldn’t, even surpassing many rules of this world.
But he never explicitly realized this himself.
Until this ti!
Or more precisely, until last ti when sending Gu Qingyi back, at that ski resort, he killed two Russians.
Killing two Russians wasn’t significant; what mattered was...after killing the two guys, Chen Yan easily settled the matter.
Killing people, for ordinary people, would be a catastrophic event, subject to severe punishnt and suppression by secular rules.
But Chen Yan easily bypassed these rules.
Even after the two Russians were dealt with, their family ca seeking trouble, and Chen Yan continued to kill!
After finishing them, he also took down that oligarch.
Still, everything remained calm and unmoved!
"Most of the rules in this world don’t apply to ,"
Chen Yan muttered to himself.
He understood the crux of his problem.
Once he realized that the rules of this world no longer constrained him...without the shackles of rules,
One’s cognition collapses!
Ordinary people’s cognition is: don’t steal other people’s things.
A thief’s cognition changes: stealing from others is a regular way to profit—as long as you don’t get caught!
Because if caught, you’d be punished.
But what if there’s a thief who can steal from anyone without ever being caught!
Even if caught, no power can punish him!
What would he beco?
This is the collapse of cognition.
Once the original cognition collapses, everything is viewed as insignificant! Life is like an ant!
The current situation is, Chen Yan suddenly discovered...
If he were to open up this world’s laws and look at them, anything on there that he’s forbidden from doing...
He could easily do it!
And there is no power that can punish him!
For example, killing that oligarch.
No one in the world now knows who did it.
When Chen Yan killed the oligarch under heavy guard, it was just a matter of jumping into the Mirror World, easily bypassing all defenses.
Then jumping out of the Mirror World in the swimming pool, he drowned the guy under the water.
If he wanted, he could kill anyone in this world, regardless of their status!
If he wanted, he could empty the Federal Reserve’s gold reserves, and nobody would find out it was him!
If he wanted, he could even steal a nuclear bomb and quietly bury it under the White House!
Even if soone found out, they couldn’t catch him; they couldn’t do anything to him.
He could use the Transformation Technique to change his appearance, he had powerful spells, imnse combat strength, he could freely jump into other worlds...
The rules of this world seed to no longer exist for him.
