"He renamed himself Sinful Bone, signifying that he bears the sin-laden body, abstains from meat, devotes himself to ascetic cultivation, and remembers past crimes. He works hard and contributes half the credit for building this First Sequence Town."
He looked at Li Aozi and said:
"Lord Leoz, do you still think that those high above Chief Gods are the ones causing you injustice?"
Li Aozi did not answer.
He looked at Land Loyd— or rather, Sinful Bone, enduring pain with calmness, refusing to groan and complain, instead bearing insights with a focused mind.
What should he say?
Severston spoke quite clearly and nakedly.
He was telling Li Aozi a most basic truth:
In the Six-Layered Starry Abyss, from the Chief Gods above to the ants below, none is wrong, a sinner, or an evildoer.
The ones causing injustice are also victims of the system; if they choose to fulfill fairness, it is unfair to their own class.
Justice, fairness.
