    This story features an absolutely dark and selfish villain who destroys the world. Enter at your own risk! For other creatures in nature, there's little difference between humans and demons. Human morality only applies to humans themselves; other creatures are either food, materials, or tools for special purposes (pets for emotional value, medicinal herbs for medicinal value). The White Snake Immortal, as an outsider, clearly understands the nature of humans—they love self-deception and self-pity, considering themselves the pinnacle of all creation, finding all sorts of reasons to convince themselves and others, and rationalizing the oppression of other creatures. But conversely, if a spirit or monster were to bully or kill, that would be absolutely unacceptable and would incur divine retribution! Pretty hypocritical, right? The White Snake Immortal has lived for a thousand years and has read many human novels. Those fantasy novels always talk about retribution for killing the innocent, but when humans cut down trees, gather herbs, kill animals, skin them, eat their flesh, and extract their inner cores, they never mention "innocence" or "retribution," taking it all for granted.
