《Old Cultivation Record》Chapter 19 - How Far

Jesse and Lily left with Johan.
Taylor drove out of town with several bottles of whiskey and promptly proceeding to get drunk in the middle of nowhere.
Taylor takes a large swig out of the bottle and lets out a burp. “Fuck.” He exclaims quietly. It hurts. It hurts so fucking much. He thinks, feeling several emotions burning and clashing within him. Fucking Johan. So fucking perfect. What a dick. He thinks as he sways drunkenly. He felt so much rage for the situation and he didn't know how to express it. I loved her… I really did… Taylor thinks as the emotion hits him. His face scrunches up as tears find its way to his eyes. “FUUCKKK!!!” He yells out into the empty space.

“Taylor! Old friend! I figured it out! The deal with the Greed Aura. And let me just say, the world is an asshole.” Hanz says with some glee.
Taylor chuckles. “Awesome. So what’s the situation? Is the murder and rape path valid in anyway?” He asks, curious.
“Well… I won’t say it’s not… But I’ll explain it over dinner. I’ll send a plane over to pick you up.” Hanz says with some expectation.
Taylor lets out a sigh. He’s still focused on dinner. He thinks, feeling a little tired. “Okay. I’ll make the trip back.” Taylor says in defeat.
“Awesome. I’ll text you when its there.” Hanz says before ending the call.
…
…
“So what’s the situation?” Taylor asks he begins to cut his steak.
Hanz pierces a cherry tomato with his fork and puts it into his mouth. “It was as I originally thought it was. Just a joke that the world wanted to make. As for who’s laughing, I’m not sure anyone is; the world is kind of a dick. For those who chose to kill, the world rewards them by upgrading their bodies, and I’m pretty sure they can advance similarly to other supernatural creatures. As for those who said ‘no’ to murder and rape, the Greed Aura challenges their mind. Essentially it makes them question a bunch of shit until they’re effectively insane. If these people make it through these spiritual tests, the Greed Aura upgrades their mind. And similarly, they can also advance to similar heights as other supernatural creatures. Neither one is really better than the other; like it is for each individual, the paths are just different. Both roads seem to lead to Rome, but the Greed Aura challenges a similar aspect in both paths…” Hanz explains between bites of food.

Taylor puts a piece of steak into his mouth. “What’s that?” He asks with his mouth full.
Hanz swallows his food and smiles. “It challenges them to accept themselves as they are. I don’t think the world has a preference for one or the other. It thinks both paths are valid, and it wants the people who are infected with the Greed Aura to realize that. That they’re good as they are, that they shouldn’t make drastic changes and continue as they are, acting according to what they feel naturally.” Hanz explains, unsure if he agreed with the world.
Taylor’s eyes widen. “That’s fucking wild. You mean its validating all that sin?” He asks, feeling a little angry at the matter.
Hanz lets out a chuckle. “Yup. I don’t even think the world cares. To the world, we’re all just little shits. Whatever sin we could ever imagine, the world would consider as miniscule. I think it’s just curious…” Hanz says, his mind wandering to a few possibilities.
“Curious? Curious about what?” Taylor asks as he leans forward in his chair. He was currently very intrigued.
Hanz lets out a sigh. “It’s just curious... It’s just curious about what we’ll find at the end of these paths. I think it’s curious about how far we can go.” He says, explaining how he saw it.
Taylor’s eyes widen once again. “That’s fucking wild.” He says, unsure of what else to say.
