Paradise on Earth

"Do you see it, little Yezi?" Charles looked down upon the growing paradise. "Soon, everything will be finished. Humanity will be freed from the ravages of the world and welcome eternal peace."

"And eternal death." Ye Qingxuan closed his eyes to shut out the final, unrealistic reverie. "I won't let you succeed, Charles, you should know..."

"Yes, that's who you are, isn't it?" Charles smiled. There was a bit of joy and liveliness in that smile. "Your compassion for this world is far greater than mine. No matter how cold it was towards you, no matter how much it saddened you or hurt you, you never gave up hope on it. So, come on. No matter what you do, I won't blame you."

Charles waved his hand, generously unlocking the shackles of paradise and making Ye Qingxuan reflect the glow of the Net of Aether.
