NovelEnglishChapter 7064 Hankin had personally witnessed what Goyo and Qadeer had done in the past. It was very clear to him what they were both fighting for.
However, he had no choice but to submit to them. Lesia's words had hurt his pride, and his deep-seated ambitions gradually burst out.
Lesia looked at him and said, "You're Emperor Benevolence, one of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. In terms of status, you're only second to the Waitara Path.

How dare you pass judgment on whether James' character?" As if his true nature had been laid bare, Hankin quivered all over, his complexion draining of color. At that moment, his former arrogance had completely vanished.
"1 understand," Lesia remarked, pacing around Hankin with a smile. "You're struggling amidst the intrigues and power struggles of the Haleth Realm. You gradually lost your way and seek oblivion as an escape from your suffering." "But have you considered the repercussions? What justice or morality will remain in this realm once you're gone?" At those words, Hankin jerked his head up, eyes widened in horror and disbelief.
Lesia raised her voice and said firmly, "You may be liberated, but what about the Greater Realms' living beings?" At that moment, Hankin seemed to have realized the grave consequences. He dropped to his knees with a thud, his expression lifeless.
Lesia reprimanded solemnly, "We have Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness. From the Leere Daoism, a total of Forty-Nine Daoisms were derived. However, only nine SuprEmperors formed, namely life and death, yin and yang, good and evil, morality, beauty and ugliness, space, cause and effect, time, and reincarnation.
"Out of them, morality holds the fourth place, standing independent from good and evil, beauty and ugliness, yin and yang, and cause and effect. Why is that?" Hankin shut his eyes in anguish, unable to speak.
Lesia continued, "Because we cannot halt the strife, deceit, and bloodshed in the Haleth Realm. Thus, morality stands as one of the last bastions.
Morality is the self-discipline of the spirit, the yardstick for introspection and correction of deeds, distinguishing between right and wrong, beauty and ugliness, and discerning the consequences of actions.
"And the other is cause and effect. Every action carries its consequences.

Lesia pointed at Hankin and said sorrowfully, 'Vet, you, the embodiment of the Morality Daoism, what have you done for the beings of the Haleth Realm? They understand cause and effect but forsake morality. They are consumed by fear rather than guided by virtue." Her words pierced Hankin's soul like sharp needles, causing him to tremble violently and tears to stream down his cheeks. After taking a deep breath, she elaborated, "The Waitara Path consumed eight of the daoisms, yet you were untouched. In fact, he doesn't seek after you and doesn't want anything to do with you.
"You had the perfect chance for you to break free from the Waitara Path and becan independent entity in the Forty-Ninth Heaven like Taichu.
"But instead, you chose to compromise. Even after we reclaimed the Waitara Path's body, you aligned yourself with a disciple of his.
"You could argue it was necessary to protect our Daoism. But now, as beings rise to challenge Waitara Path's oppressive laws, why do you stubbornly oppose of them? Lesia bent down, meeting Hankin's gaze. "Are you really that scared to the point you forgot you're an immortal daoism?"
