Chapter 573: Extreme Goodness

"Chu Tianqiu... you..."

Zhao Yisheng's mouth moved slightly. He knew full well that the other party was extremely deranged, but he felt that he couldn't contend with him at all.

"So, have you made up your minds?"

Chu Tianqiu turned his head, his face cold and dangerous. He smiled slightly, licked his lips, and said,"If you can't grasp the wings of this mad eagle, how will you soar into the sky to witness with your own eyes the eyeball that belongs to the 'shen' up there?"

"You..."

The two looked at Chu Tianqiu, whose demeanor had completely changed, and were speechless.

A "mad eagle"—this description was perfect for the current Chu Tianqiu.

His gaze was exceptionally sharp, and his body exuded an overwhelming aura of blood.

The wings of this "mad eagle" were adorned with bombs and gunpowder. Instead of hunting prey, it flew towards the most dangerous sun in the sky.

Either destroy the sun, or become the sun.

The two behind Chu Tianqiu swallowed involuntarily. Zhao Yisheng spoke first:

"You said you need our help, so what do you want us to do?"

"To hunt the 'Hui Xiang Zhe',"Chu Tianqiu said,"I need a large number of 'Hui Xiang Zhe'."

After hearing this, Zhao Yisheng furrowed his brows:"Chu Tianqiu... you... you need their corpses? Then put them in your basement for you to gnaw on?!"

This sentence startled Han Yimo:"Wha... gnaw on corpses?!"

"Ha..."Chu Tianqiu showed a slight smile, glanced at Zhao Yisheng, then looked at Han Yimo,"Han Yimo, do you think someone who gnaws on corpses is a 'good person' or a 'bad person'?"

"How could they be goo..."

Before Han Yimo could finish, Chu Tianqiu pulled out a Jin Yuan Bao from his pocket.

The ingot was saddle-shaped, with rounded ends and a narrowed waist, now emitting a brilliant golden light in Chu Tianqiu's hand.

"Han Yimo, in your novel, what kind of person can obtain this Jin Yuan Bao?"Chu Tianqiu asked.

After hearing this, Han Yimo slowly widened his eyes, took the Jin Yuan Bao, examined it carefully, and then muttered to himself:

"Those adjudged as 'good' shall be rewarded with one tael and seven qian of silver; those adjudged as 'evil' shall have 'Qi Hei' pierce their dantian... The Jianghu hero Chu Qi, wielding the 'Qi Hei Jian', rewarded good and punished evil countless times, but only once gave the other party a Jin Yuan Bao."

"Which time was that?"Chu Tianqiu asked.

"The other party had a heart pure as a child, like uncarved jade and pure gold, had done countless good deeds in their life, and never committed any wrong."Han Yimo said with some disbelief,"Such a person... such a person shouldn't exist in reality..."

"So, does the 'Qi Hei Jian' lie?"Chu Tianqiu continued to ask,"It thinks I am qualified to receive this Jin Yuan Bao; could it be a misjudgment?"

"No..."Han Yimo frowned and replied,"Ever since 'Chu Qi' died, the 'Qi Hei Jian' has been soaring in the martial world with 'Chu Qi's' soul; it can see a person's past and discern the good and evil in their soul... so it should be..."

"So, I am a 'good person',"Chu Tianqiu said with a pair of slightly bloodshot eyes,"I have done countless good deeds in my life, helping anyone I could as much as possible, but up to now, I haven't received any reward; I've even been covered in scars."

"You..."Han Yimo seemed somewhat incredulous about Chu Tianqiu's words, but he found the Jin Yuan Bao in his hand to be exceptionally real, obviously from the story of 'Qi Hei Jian'.

Could Chu Tianqiu... really be a good person?

He himself had said that in this world, there are no good people, only varying degrees of badness.

Could the person who said that have never done anything wrong in his life?

"So, you are an innocent person...?"Zhao Yisheng was slightly stunned,"That can't be right... Chu Tianqiu, if you haven't done anything wrong in your life, why would you be here?"

"Heh..."Chu Tianqiu looked at Zhao Yisheng, his expression becoming more twisted, and then he heavily spat out a few words,"I also want to know..."

"What..."

"I also really want to ask them!!"Chu Tianqiu suddenly shouted,"I have more questions than any of you!! What exactly did I do wrong to make me keep cycling in this hell?! Is this the 'good karma' I cultivated from doing good all my life?! Is this the retribution after my selflessness?! I have helped countless people in my life, and even here, I'm still insisting on helping everyone in difficulty find hope... but what about my hope?! What 'path' has this place left for me?!"

Chu Tianqiu kept roaring, strands of his blood-fixed hair falling to his forehead, making him look even more manic.

"Why?! Why are there so many hardships waiting for me on my life's path? Is this what I deserve?!"Chu Tianqiu clenched his fists, his whole body trembling,"I did good for twenty-eight years, and just as my life was about to begin, a tumor was found in my brain. I thought this place would be where I 'redeem' myself... but what I insisted on here is just a joke; the person I fell in love with turned into a monster here; my 'goodness' is worthless here! My tumor has been hurting all along, never giving me a moment's peace...!!"

"Tumor...?"Zhao Yisheng felt a bit strange. He had previously dissected Qi Xia's corpse, and Qi Xia's brain also had a malignant tumor.

Is "tumor" some kind of coincidence?

But judging from the tumor's condition, if Chu Tianqiu has the same illness as Qi Xia, their lifespan would be at most half a year.

"No wonder you don't want to 'escape', but want to 'become a god'..."Zhao Yisheng nodded after hearing this,"Because escaping here means 'death'."

"I've done enough..."Chu Tianqiu said,"I've been here as a 'beacon', illuminating everyone for a long time... Now, I want to do something for myself..."

"So, what you want to do is collect their corpses..."

"No."Chu Tianqiu shook his head, restoring his indifferent expression,"I no longer need corpses; I need their eyes."

"Eyes...?"

The two looked at the eye bead necklace hanging around Chu Tianqiu's neck.

"I need a lot of eyes."Chu Tianqiu said with a hint of sadness,"As long as you can help me collect the eyeballs of the 'Hui Xiang Zhe', I won't treat you unfairly. But if you can't bring me back ten eyes every day, then I won't need you anymore."

"Ten...?"The two looked at each other,"That means... we have to kill at least five people every day... five 'Hui Xiang Zhe'..."

"That's right. You can rest assured. As long as you meet the requirements, I'll give you plenty of rewards every day."Chu Tianqiu laughed,"Whether it's food or other resources, as long as I have them, I can give them to you."
