Sin is judged solely by contribution, but can the contributions that witches and other races can make be compared?
Can the talents of two witches be compared?
Its equality stems purely from the fact that sin grants everyone immortality and eternal life, confined to the realm of the ideal.
Although one could live a completely happy life even by simply giving up, how many people could resist the temptation to change their social class through hard work and to let time bridge the gap?
This is a thoroughly cruel law, essentially pursuing the most rigorous survival of the fittest and natural selection.
Therefore, after coming into contact with the true nature of Sin City, Jiang Kehan was completely disappointed and refused to become the Grand Commander of Sin City. The great sixth seat, Anmonica, tried to persuade her to stay.
Before all hope was lost, she managed to rise to second place in the Sin City's contribution value, leaving the Great City speechless in amazement and inviting her to become the Vice Commander, a position even higher than that of another Great Second-in-Command in the Sin City.
But Jiang Kehan ultimately chose to leave and go find her hometown.
Until she witnessed the end of the world.
Her home is gone.
Jiang Kehan's existence was completely freed from restraint, and she stepped into an even colder extreme.
When she reappeared in the ideal world, she was only one step away from greatness, and as expected, she was arrested.
The former tyrant, the current Duke of the British Empire, Angelette von Lushvid, also known as the world-destroying witch, smiled as she locked herself in her own basement.
"Sigh, who knows why Angela's house has a basement, but that's what she said to the lonely girl huddled in the corner."
"Unfortunately, you don't understand love."
Chapter 356 Levels of Life
When the memory ended, Jiang Kehan felt no joy. Even from a third-person perspective, she could only feel a silent sorrow.
She could hardly imagine such a future. From beginning to end, all that awaited Ying Kehan was loss and loneliness, even if she had an eternal lifespan and extraordinary strength.
But...IhII!思笼企尔pII（四）玐斯%安洁特莉 Isn't something a little off?
Thinking of the great man's help to Shadow Kehan, and even his actions of refusing the Great Council's judgment against Jiang Kehan and casually "protecting" Shadow Kehan, Jiang Kehan's expression became a little strange.
Jiang Kehan even said that the fact that she could capture this parallel future day and night was definitely due to the other party's involvement.
If Angeli has any desires for the shadow, even physical ones, then forget it.
In her memory, Jiang Kehan only saw that the other person seemed to treat Shadow Kehan like a figurine, and did nothing else except say some inexplicable things sometimes.
Besides the fact that the other person also seemed lonely...
Upon hearing Jiang Kehan's reply, Eva raised her eyebrows slightly, carefully examined Jiang Kehan, and then nodded with a smile.
“I take back what I said. Your teachers left you with something very precious, much more precious than I thought.”
"However, as your current teacher, I will make up for their shortcomings. Are you ready to accept the pressure, Kehan?"
Listening to Eva's emotionless words, Jiang Kehan felt as if she could see her own tragic future, and she was on the verge of tears.
But she didn't back down; instead, she smiled softly and said, "Of course!"
Eva seemed somewhat satisfied, but her hands moved quickly, increasing the pressure on Jiang Kehan and making her feel a little tense.
The other party really doesn't intend to treat her like a human being.
While applying pressure, Eva also provided appropriate guidance. She scrutinized Jiang Kehan, seemingly considering what to teach her, and ultimately chose to give up.
She asked, "Now that I'm your temporary teacher, Kehan, what do you want?"
Jiang Kehan's magic was clearly more sophisticated than Eva's, and Eva didn't think that what she had now could be better than what she had in the future, so she gave the initiative to Jiang Kehan.
She didn't even ask the other person what they wanted to learn, but rather what they wanted.
Even if Jiang Kehan wanted Keva Miller's sculpture, worth dozens of level 9 dragons and located at the highest point of Riemann, as long as she met the requirements, Eva could get it for her.
A strict teacher must be rewarded handsomely; otherwise, wouldn't that be making things difficult for the teacher?
"I want to... become the Great Witch." Jiang Kehan pretended to think for a moment before answering with delight, but something was burning in her eyes.
Power is meant to serve a purpose, such as protection or punishment!
"Of course, hahaha." Eva laughed with satisfaction. "That's the style of my student. I'll teach you the first lesson then."
Her eyes turned cruel and ruthless, radiating an oppressive and chilling aura like a black hole, and she revealed knowledge that made Jiang Kehan pause in surprise.
"What is extraordinary?"
"Life itself distinguishes between noble and lowly, and this is beyond doubt."
Jiang Kehan nodded. Even if there are "sophistries" about food chains and energy cycles to make people adapt to this injustice, how can they change the facts?
Lions are stronger than mice, both in strength and lifespan, and they have experienced the extraordinary path to the fullest.
"Therefore, the division of life levels is more profound than you think," Eva concluded, speaking with eyes lowered like a supreme deity, revealing the meaning of these levels.
"The first level is like a mayfly, perishing in natural disasters; the second level is like a running rabbit, dying in the mouths of beasts; the third level is like a flying bird, vanishing day and night."
Level 1 creatures are powerless to resist the cruelty of nature, thus remaining humble and docile.
Secondary creatures, struggling to survive in the food chain, becoming either hunters or prey, are worthy of awe.
Level 3 beings, trapped within the limits set by the Creator, wait for nature to withdraw its gaze, and thus wail in despair.
None of them transcended the will of nature and were reduced to beasts, which corresponds precisely to the little witch who had no power to protect herself.
"Level four is like a fierce tiger, roaring fiercely; level five is like a dragon, staring menacingly; level six is like a god, confronting head-on."
Level 4 beings have already acquired the qualifications to challenge nature and seek their own path.
A Level 5 being is capable of replacing the will of nature in a certain place, watching over it, or even temporarily becoming an enemy of nature.
Level 6 beings possess an ability called "Tampering," thus officially embarking on the path of defying nature.
They began to develop their own will, scorning the greater, and striding forward like witches.
"Level seven is like a thief, spying on the rules; level eight is like a rock, standing alone; level nine is like a poisonous insect, parasitizing the universe."
Level 7 beings, relying on [Coverage], create their own little world, peering into the rules that originally belonged to nature.
Level 8 beings, standing on their own "shaped foundations," are like pebbles on a high mountain called the world, unrelated to each other, but when they collide, they will make a resounding impact.
A level nine being, greedily eyeing the delicious food available, regarded the universe as its own nourishment, giving rise to [Tianquan], which then usurped the throne and took its place!
"They are born from nature and will destroy nature in return, thus gaining growth. This is the joy of the greedy, an extraordinary coldness."
Eva solemnly revealed it, but her gaze suddenly became even more dazzling.
"But witches are different. From the rising of the star that represents the Great Witch, we know that our extraordinary nature is completely different from that of these greedy people!"
"Our path is like something out of nothing. As long as we are persistent enough, we will ignite a spark, obtain our own sun, and even soar high in the sky, spreading light to more places."
"We are the world, no, we are above the world and the universe, and we never need to bow down to anyone!"
"So if you want to become a great witch, abandon your fear, abandon your resentment, abandon everything, because these things are right under your feet."
"You must prepare to become a star, reject all external things, find your own truth, and even if it is still a fallacy now, you must turn it into fact!"
"Kehan, the extraordinary nature of witches has always been within us, but we were blinded by the outside world and only realized it now."
“But it’s not too late, is it?” Eva smiled, so gently, so…excited!
Jiang Kehan closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the overwhelming joy, along with the increasingly loud and ferocious voice. She nodded solemnly!
"I will remember this well, and I will walk my own path and light up my own star."
"Until the moment of fall!"
The longing of the stars is precisely the wish for more stars to rise, but some people have never noticed it.
Chapter 357 An Unparalleled Achievement
Now that things have come to this, even if Jiang Kehan is foolish, she will have some understanding of her own path to becoming a great witch. Besides, she is not foolish at all; on the contrary, she is very smart.
So when all of this was gradually revealed to her, she had already seen the "smooth road".
Jiang Kehan is neither a genius creator like Newton nor a conqueror like Qin Shi Huang. She is narrow-minded and only willing to protect the sea that belongs to her in a meticulous manner.
That boundless sea that contained the existence of those who loved her, and everything she loved.
Therefore, Jiang Kehan is undoubtedly the one who needs the most talent to persevere, or even maintain.
She needs to possess the disruptive power of a creator, the domineering nature of a conqueror, and a love and tolerance that transcends ordinary imagination.
It was difficult, but fortunately she was not alone, so she was willing to keep moving forward. Nothing could stop her slow but determined steps except death.
Of course, even if the path is clear, it's impossible to soar into the sky in one leap.
Besides needing to accumulate magic power, there was another thing she needed to start thinking about: planning.
Jiang Kehan must prove to herself that she is qualified and willing to do so.
Any living being that possesses intelligence and emotions has the ability to deceive itself, and is exceptionally adept at it.
How much of the decision you're making now is a compromise with external things, and how much is a resolute decision you won't regret?
No one can explain it clearly, especially a witch who is extremely idealistic and can easily be dragged into an abyss by her own hypocrisy if she is not careful.
Therefore, Jiang Kehan must use her actions to test, confirm, and even correct her own heart.
This is also the most common way to achieve greatness – to lay the foundation for eternity with unparalleled achievements!
If Jiang Kehan wants to quickly close the gap between herself and the Great Witch without relying on time to gradually diminish the difference, then she needs to make progress in at least three areas.
Creating new knowledge concepts, whether it's a system within a magical school, such as the Forbidden School's Original Sin system, or new advanced alchemical formulas, will all prove her ability to overturn existing things and do them better.
Jiang Kehan doesn't have a good idea for this yet. After all, apart from Ye Yu, the knowledge of this era is too outdated, making it difficult for her to innovate by standing on the shoulders of giants.
But the other two are different.
The domineering nature of a conqueror, for Jiang Kehan, is used to suppress any enemy who dares to covet her treasures. So now, what better opportunity could there be than a witch waging war against foreign powers?
As long as Jiang Kehan participates, she doesn't need achievements like Theresa's that are enough to earn her a reputation. As long as she can prove her determination, it will be enough to accomplish the task, and to accomplish it beyond the limits.
After all, this is a war for the rise of witches, and its significance far surpasses the value of simply cultivating and protecting a race in Gensokyo in the future.
The other is the protective ability hidden beneath the surface of tolerance, unique to those who maintain order and set things right.
This is even simpler, requiring almost no extra worry from Jiang Kehan. As long as she can resolve the historical anomalies as agreed with Ye Yu, she will definitely exceed expectations.
Even if she doesn't falter in terms of subversion, Jiang Kehan can glimpse the position of greatness after stepping into the Great Witch realm.
Greatness comes in cycles, and next year it might be my turn.
