Beneath the Huai River.

Ji Zheng, looking at the words in the simulation, could already tell.

He had encountered the legendary 'Mu Kingdom'.

To be honest, the customs of this Mu Kingdom made him feel somewhat disgusted, always feeling too strange.

But he couldn't say anything.

After all, the kingdoms in the Great Wilderness were all strange in their own way, and compared to them, the Mu Kingdom was just a minor case.

Moreover, it was just his feeling that it was strange; for the people of the Mu Kingdom, this might be normal.

It was he who was overthinking things.

"I just don't know what Fuxi wants the simulated me to do by watching this Mu Kingdom."

Ji Zheng was very puzzled by this.

He couldn't figure out Fuxi's intention and could only choose to continue watching the simulation.

...

[In the second year, seven days, after discovering the strange customs of this city, you quickly remembered the legendary 'Mu Kingdom' and immediately determined that the kingdom below was the Mu Kingdom.

But you didn't understand Fuxi's intention in having you watch this Mu Kingdom.

Fuxi, who was waiting beside you, seemed to see that you had recognized this kingdom and couldn't help but speak, telling you that you had seen something.

You were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then shook your head. You had indeed seen the customs of this Mu Kingdom, but you didn't understand what relationship this kingdom had with the suffering of all beings.

Seeing that you still didn't understand, Fuxi took you away from the Mu Kingdom and headed in another direction.]

...

[In the second year, nineteen days, Fuxi brought you to another kingdom and asked you to stare at it.

You didn't refuse and instead followed Fuxi's instructions, staring intently at the kingdom below.]

...

[In the second year, fifty-five days, after watching for a long time, you finally discovered the strangeness of this kingdom.

This kingdom also had a very strange custom: after a relative died, the people of this kingdom would use a knife to scrape off the flesh, then discard it, and bury the bones.

After doing this, others would call the person who practiced this custom a 'filial son,' which made you feel silent.]

This is...

Yanren Kingdom?

Ji Zheng quickly recognized the name of this kingdom.

The legends of the Yanren Kingdom were just as recorded in the simulation.

Speaking of which, the Yanren Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom were similar, both belonging to the somewhat strange type.

But Ji Zheng didn't know why Fuxi had brought him to see these two kingdoms.

What relationship did these two kingdoms have with the suffering of all beings?

Ji Zheng felt somewhat lost.

He didn't understand Fuxi's meaning.

In a state of confusion.

He could only choose to continue watching the simulation.

The simulation continued.

...

[You also recognized that this kingdom was the Yanren Kingdom, but you still didn't understand what Fuxi wanted you to see in this Yanren Kingdom.

Apart from its strange customs, this Yanren Kingdom was quite normal, and you didn't understand it at all.

Seeing that you seemed to have seen the customs of this kingdom, Fuxi walked up to you again and asked if you understood anything.

You shook your head and frankly admitted that you didn't understand anything. Fuxi smiled upon hearing this and said to you, are all beings really suffering? Does the entanglement of various emotions and desires necessarily lead to suffering?

Fuxi pointed to the kingdom below and said again, this kingdom has its own rituals and codes, which are very important to them, but seem terrible and strange to most humans.

According to most humans, the Yanren Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom are humans in the sea of suffering. If the strange customs of the Yanren Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom were abolished, would that mean they would be freed from the sea of suffering?

You fell silent instantly after hearing this. If the strange customs of the Yanren Kingdom and the Mu Kingdom were taken away, it would be a kind of devastation for the people of the two kingdoms.

You vaguely seemed to understand what Fuxi was trying to express...]

Perhaps all beings are not suffering?

From this point of view, it is indeed unspeakable suffering.

But if all beings were free from the worries of life and death, free from the difficulties of life, without any worries, would such beings really be free from the sea of suffering?

He had thought about this long ago.

If that were the case, then all beings would no longer be all beings.

Ji Zheng felt a sense of enlightenment.

Perhaps he had been too worried about all beings all along. All beings have their own ways, like the Buddha who wants to save all beings, also has the Buddha's way.

"I also have my way."

Ji Zheng understood, and the thought buried deep in his heart dissipated.

The simulation continued.

...

[After thinking for a long time, you understood Fuxi's meaning. You thanked Fuxi again, knowing how great Fuxi's enlightenment was for you this time.

Fuxi didn't care about this and waved his hand, then said that since things were settled here, he was ready to return to the Heavenly Realm.

Fuxi looked at you and asked if you were willing to go to the Heavenly Realm with him. You were stunned for a moment upon hearing this, and then refused Fuxi, because your path was in the Great Wilderness, and going to the Heavenly Realm would be useless.

Fuxi wasn't surprised by your refusal. Fuxi immediately wanted to leave, but you thanked Fuxi for his help and prepared to send Fuxi back to the Heavenly Realm. Fuxi didn't refuse.]
