Xiang Beifei was completely immersed in a state of meditation.
Two orbs of black and white Yin and Yang energy gently wandered through Xiang Beifei’s body, perfectly aligning with his Chaos Yin-Yang Formula, enveloping him entirely in a harmonious and balanced state.
All things in the world are tied to Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang clashing to form all things, nothing is one-sided.
Day and night, odd and even, open and closed, male and female, motion and stillness, high and low, large and small, deep and shallow, light and dark.
Life must accompany death, right must accompany wrong, Yin must accompany Yang.
This is the way of Yin and Yang.
Though Xiang Beifei had his eyes closed, under the influence of the Yin and Yang energy within him, he felt like a wanderer, roaming this land, formless and intangible, observing the world from various angles.
He saw trees and plants sprouting in the forest, and also saw withered leaves falling to the ground.
In the nests between branches, young birds awaited being fed, new life singing an optimistic tune, yet there were also old birds, slow and cumbersome, killed by predators.
He saw an ancient golden-feathered eagle building a nest at the treetop, showcasing its majesty to a female eagle, its body glowing with golden light, feathers bristling, merely seeking the favor of the female eagle.
After a long time, the female eagle seemed to accept the male eagle, and the two leaned together, beginning a harmonious affair.
In just five minutes, two eggs were laid, it happened so fast.
The birth of new life, born from the transformation of Yin and Yang, this is two becoming three.
Flowers, plants, and trees grow and wither, insects and beasts are born and die.
All explaining the way of Yin and Yang.
Xiang Beifei came to an understanding.
He then recalled the humans of Jiuzhou.
There were the righteous Professor Guo and Elder Luo, who dedicated their lives to protecting Jiuzhou.
There were also the cunning and ruthless Zhu Yiji and He Caiwei, who stopped at nothing for fame and fortune.
One side embodies great justice, the other selfishness, this is Yin and Yang.
Even systems lead to vastly different choices.
Yang Hua, awakened by the Master Dao System, chose to boost himself by criticizing students.
While Li Nanxing, with the same type of system, the Confucian Saint System, always encouraged the N-level Xiang Beifei not to give up, striving to improve by nurturing students.
Their choices were vastly different.
One is positive, the other negative, this too is Yin and Yang.
Take Chen Gang, who awakened the S-level Thousand Faces Refined system, allowing him to disguise as various individuals. Originally, he became stronger by being an undercover agent fighting criminals, but ultimately chose to disguise as a criminal to become stronger.
The system offered him choices, he attempted to be a person of justice, but eventually found becoming a criminal made him stronger more quickly, so he changed his original intentions, becoming a completely opposite person.
There are bad people in the world, naturally, there are also good people.
Chang Furong, with the SSR-level Evil-accumulating system, according to the system supremacist principles of the Alliance, Chang Furong could easily become a villain living freely, even becoming the backbone of the Alliance, commanding the elements.
But he refused to choose such a path, he’d rather relinquish identity and status, power, just to remain upright.
Everyone has their choices, they can choose to be respected and powerful, or to become despicable and despised.
This is even more the way of Yin and Yang.
Even Xiang Beifei’s own abilities lie within the way of Yin and Yang.
He can partake in others’ system tasks, and once linked to his tasks, upon completion, the rewards can be plundered.
With such powerful abilities, if he wished, he could acquire everyone’s rewards by any means.
Back during the Qi-Controlling period, if he had been a bit colder-hearted, he could have taken Principal Li Nanxing’s lifetime hoarded God Refining Pill.
But he chose to return it instead.
Xiang Beifei doesn’t consider himself a purely good person, because truly good people are extremely righteous. A saint of ultimate goodness, like a white lotus, wouldn’t take others’ things, wouldn’t seize their rewards.
However, he doesn’t consider himself purely bad either, for bad people would unhesitatingly gather all rewards, whether useful to them or not, seizing first, and selling in the black market if needed.
In all things, Xiang Beifei abides by principles, he has his own understanding and judgment.
He only takes from system Awakenings malevolent towards him, rewards with no animosity are generally left untouched.
Between these two extremes, with his extraordinary ability, he found a balance.
Suddenly, Xiang Beifei realized something.
Having a particular ability is irrelevant; what’s important is how one utilizes it.
"Is this the Yin and Yang I’m seeking?"
He felt quite astonished.
The world maintains a relative balance because of Yin and Yang.
If there was no life, where would death come from?
If there was no good, where would bad come from?
Therefore, life inevitably accompanies death, good inevitably accompanies bad.
Yet Xiang Beifei has always kept himself in a balanced state, not bad, but not quite good either.
This is akin to Yin and Yang, black and white.
