"How the heavens and earth first opened, how they evolved, and how life was born... I do not know, because I am unwilling to transcend to understand; I only wish to manage the Netherworld well."
With his hands clasped behind his back, Emperor Fengdu led Lu Jin'an to a black stone tablet: "However, I was born representing death. Your theory of 'rotten wood and ashes' and 'Dead Wood Spring' is not the first I've heard.
Throughout history, some have walked the Path of Life to the extreme and transcended, while others have walked the Path of Death to the extreme and transcended. The path of reversing life and death that you're taking is not untried, but no one has succeeded."
Lu Jin'an smiled, "The predecessors plant the trees, and the later generations enjoy the shade."
"You're not exactly enjoying the shade," Emperor Fengdu glanced at him, "especially considering the paths you're treading are the hardest to walk. In this aspect, you truly have courage."
