Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 104 The Foundation of the Group

Yue Tong was taken aback and blurted out, "The Vishwa Group... is it an assassin organization?"

"What are you thinking?" Seeing Yue Tong's instantly tense expression, Luo Xi found it somewhat amusing, but her face remained expressionless, maintaining the composure befitting a leader. "I'm just curious, if your restorative magic were used on an ordinary person, would it cause harm?"

Yue Tong breathed a sigh of relief, her shoulders relaxing, but then she frowned slightly.

"Restoration...it's actually quite difficult to explain," Yue Tong seemed to be thinking about how to explain. "Simply put, it's restoring something to its original state. But the trouble is..."

"How exactly should we define its original state?" Yue Tong asked, puzzled. "I don't know. So far, I've almost only used it to repair toys and tools."

"For ordinary people... I've only ever tried using it to treat wounds, restoring the injured part to its pre-injury state," she said, looking at Yue Tong. Yue Tong lowered her head slightly, her voice softening as if she were talking to herself, "I wouldn't dare use it on anything deeper."

"If we use it further, I always feel... it might cause some irreversible consequences for ordinary people."

Irreversible consequences? What would those consequences be? Luo Xi's heart skipped a beat.

Is it turning an adult into a child? Or into an unborn embryo? Or into an even more extreme state, into something more essential?

This magical property is almost at the conceptual level!

It's a pity that Yue Tong's level is too low; she is only an F-rank witch, which is a beginner witch.

It has limited effect on witches of the same level, and it has no effect at all on a mid-level witch like her.

He took a deep look at Yue Tong. Yes, even a seemingly healing and restorative magical property like restoration can be deadly to ordinary people if imbued with malice.

Fortunately, Lok Tung has strong self-control and has never used this magical property to harm ordinary people.

Extraordinary is extraordinary after all. She always believed that extraordinary power itself is neither good nor evil. What truly determines good and evil is the witch who uses extraordinary power.

Therefore, self-discipline is so important.

But if one day, there is a conflict between protecting the witch's own safety and protecting the safety of ordinary people, which one is more important?

Previously, she had struggled for a while when drafting the "Regulations for the Management of Witches in the Cultivation Department of the Vishwa Group".

However, she quickly realized that the witch's safety was more important!

Therefore, she made protecting the witch's own safety the highest and most important principle.

Witches are no longer ordinary people. In other words, they are completely different life forms with extraordinary powers. However, many witches have not changed their identity, and have not transformed from ordinary people to extraordinary beings.

If a witch quickly adapts to her transformed identity and treats ordinary people as playthings or ants, how should we deal with her?

The witch's needs will still be given priority.

This may seem unfair, but it is the greatest protection for ordinary people.

After all, neither ordinary people nor witches can be simply defined as good or evil. But what if an evil witch wanted to kill several ordinary people, and a righteous witch came to stop her, leading to a battle? Although the evil deed was eventually stopped, it resulted in even greater casualties...

Can this still be considered protecting ordinary people?

Therefore, in a sense, tolerating some of the witch's willful behavior is precisely to minimize the harm, which is the principle of least harm!

She initially formed the World-Cultivator Group to explore the path of cultivation, but the path is arduous and like-minded fellow cultivators are extremely rare.

More importantly, she saw very clearly that those in power in this world did not care about the lives and deaths of ordinary people, and the same was true for some witches.

If we broaden our perspective, when the conflict between the former rulers and the newly emerged witches intensifies to the point of unavoidable armed conflict, regardless of which side wins, it is ultimately the ordinary people who suffer the most.

Although she considers herself a cultivator, others still regard her as a witch. Now that we have reached a critical juncture of armed conflict and are involved, she dares to break the deadlock!

Those in power and witches both originate from ordinary people. Ordinary people are the source of all this and the most fundamental foundation of this land.

Moreover, abnormal events continue to occur in this world. If ordinary people were to perish and witches were to cease to be born, then who would be able to deal with such events?

If that time truly comes, then the destruction of this world will likely be an inevitable outcome.

Therefore, the primary purpose of her "Regulations for the Management of Witches in the Cultivation Department of the Vishwa Group" is actually to reconcile the relationship between ordinary people and witches in this world.

As for the one in power, the ruler of this world—the Witch Council—she will surely destroy this demon that is lurking in the world.

Thinking this, she sneered. Just then, the milk tea arrived, interrupting her thoughts, and the dishes on the table were gradually served neatly.

"Do we... still need to continue going to school and completing combat training?" Yue Tong was still flipping through the management regulations. When she saw the specific provisions at the back, she couldn't help but look up and ask with a hint of frustration.

"Of course, the goal of the Vishwa Group is to pursue the path of cultivation together." Luo Xi's gaze was fixed on the milk tea, her voice calm.

Harmonizing the relationship between ordinary people and witches in this world is just the foundation. The more fundamental goal of the Vishwa Group is to guide witches to cultivate immortality, pursue true power and transcendence, and reach the true state of primordial chaos!

"And the path of cultivation," she paused, looking at Yue Tong and the other witches, her tone calm yet firm, "begins with understanding oneself and the laws of the world, is solidified by knowledge, is established by protecting what is cherished, and is perfected by combat skills; neither can be lacking."

"Therefore, studying and fighting are both compulsory courses for you in the future." Seeing everyone starting to drink milk tea, she took a small sip while she spoke earnestly.

Le Tong nodded, seemingly agreeing. She took out her phone and, while operating it, looked at Qiangwei, "Is Sister Qiangwei in charge of finances? I'll start with a year's contract, 24,000 yuan. I've already transferred it."

???

Sister, Luo Xi has never seen anyone work for someone else and even pay for it.

It's true, the people in power in this world are too ruthless in their oppression, which is why Yue Tong, who has become a witch, hasn't been able to change back after all this time.

"...No need to pay." After a moment of silence, she spoke gently.

Le Tong's fingers, which were tapping on her phone, stopped. She looked up in confusion, her eyes full of bewilderment. "You mean... the company provides me with food and lodging, arranges my studies, and guides me in combat," she said, counting on her fingers, her confusion growing. "And then, not only do they not charge me, they're going to... give me money?"

Before they could answer, Rose and Lily suddenly put down their milk tea and silently gazed into the distance.

Noticing something amiss with Rose, Luo Xi was about to ask her what had happened when she immediately stopped. She had also sensed something unusual and was looking in the same direction as Rose and Lily.

Although she didn't see anything, she clearly sensed the presence of abnormal entities and abnormal phantoms in that direction!
