Chapter 951 Mysteries Of Cause And Effect, Karma

Back in the mountain range.

Lith was still sitting on the rock. He contacted Dennis and got to know that the church officials were wiped out, and Ralph's whereabouts were known.

Lith told him to not worry about Ralph and asked him to get the ingredient and meet at Jenna's place in the forest.

He put away the communication talisman and turned to Helen again.

Helen looked back at Lith with a neutral gaze.

Lith smiled and said, "Your sacrifice was in vain. How do you feel about it?"

Helen closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "If you wish to kill me, just do it. But don't forget to leave this world alone."

Lith rubbed his temples and walked towards the lady. Her obsession of having everybody saved at the expense of herself was strong.

Lith held the lady's hand and imbued some of his spiritual power into it, analyzing her bone age. It came out to roughly five hundred years old.

She possessed strength similar to a Half King Rank.

"You're five hundred years old and still lack so much common sense and intelligence." Lith scolded the Saintess.

Saintess Helen stared at Lith as if he was an unknown creature, not understanding what he meant.

Lith shook his index finger. "Your way of dealing with a devil is wrong. It always was. When you put yourself up for a sacrifice and asked me not to harm others, did you really think I would do as asked?"

Saintess Helen shook her head. "I was going to have you sign a pact, but was unable to do so."

"Oh? Did I perhaps capture you too early?" Lith rubbed his chin.

Saintess Helen sighed. "Yes. My head was spinning the whole time, I wasn't in the right state to bring it up quickly."

Lith chuckled and shook his head. "I fail to understand how you're so experienced and still mess up so badly."

Saintess Helen let out a wry smile.

Lith found this woman really interesting. She was suicidal, but also really rational at the same time.

Before Lith could ask her anything, Helen continued, "Before you kill me... Just think of it as my last wish. Can you answer a few questions of mine?"

Lith stared at her curiously. "Sure."

"How are you unaffected by Light? Aren't you a dark creature? Shouldn't you burn due to it?"

Lith chuckled. "While it is indeed true that dark creatures are affected by Light and holy things, it's not exactly accurate. You see, after countless years, some bloodlines have become immune to all this. Not to mention, there's nothing in the world that says a dark creature can't have an affinity to Light. Meaning, a dark creature can use Light magic too."

Saintess Helen raised her eyebrows in shock. "How is this possible?"

"All beings are equal. There's no one superior to the other." Lith dropped some profound wisdom. "Ever since an infant, you're taught as a human that dark is bad, light is good. Evil is bad, always do good things, always follow virtue, and so on. However..."

Lith's gaze turned serious. "That's just something society made to shackle everyone into following a proper order. Let me simplify it."

"The more things you do, the more you'll increase your cause and effect, the more your karma will be affected."

"If everyone did more things, these two principles will have a major stir in them, thereby collapsing order and giving rise to chaos."

"Now, with the rise in chaos comes destruction. It's a natural principle of the universe and no matter what you do, it won't change."

"With destruction comes a big wipe out. You may lose everything you love, and even the universe could collapse due to it, including yourself."

Helen's face contorted. She had a twisted expression as she did not understand a single bit of what Lith was saying.

Looking at her, Lith stopped speaking and rubbed his chin. "Am I bad at explanations? That's the simplest I could go though..."

Helen didn't respond, but her slight rosy cheeks indicated she was slightly embarrassed. How could she tell Lith that it was her who had trouble digesting everything and not him?

Thinking that his explanation was overly complicated, Lith thought of something else and said, "Okay, I'll simplify it further and tell you. Listen closely and interrupt if you don't understand."

Saintess Helen nodded obediently.

Thus, Lith began with his complicated explanation once again.
