What protagonists? What Long Aotian? The real world is full of hidden darkness. Don't spend all day immersed in wish-fulfilling fantasies. That's poison disguised as comfort. Accept yourself as you really are. There is no past life or next life in this world.
The world is nothing but blood and self-interest. Even feelings as steadfast as bedrock last only a moment. Only eternity is the end of all things. Fate purges all, the uncanny returns, the human world becomes an abyss, and hellish slaughter consumes everything. Blood and self-interest, with not a ray of daylight left.
Buddy, you don't actually believe in God, do you? Heaven is nothing but a dying person's fantasy before death. Hell is merely the human world on the verge of falling into chaos. And gods are nothing but spiritual crutches for the weak when they're lost or desperate. The only people we can rely on are ourselves.
Death isn't the end of everything. More than death, I'm afraid of losing everything I have now.
Family, love, friendship: I already have two of those. Too many attachments would only get in the way of the path I'm pursuing.
Most people judge by appearances. Their understanding is shallow and arrogant, and they never look beneath the surface. Only a third-person perspective can make things clear.
