"Similar, but not the same.

Earth's 'presumption of innocence' and Shenzhou's 'presumption of innocence from doubt' are not exactly the same. Although from a production perspective, the goal of both is primarily 'transformation,' integrating criminals back into the production system. It is a manifestation of humanitarianism and the strategy most aligned with public interest after a certain stage of economic development. freёnovelkiss.com

Ultimately, the reason 'good' is considered good is precisely because it promotes the development of civilization.

As the Heavenly Dao says, it benefits without causing harm.

However, if a law affects a group that exhibits extreme binary differentiation, this 'goodness' will also reveal its oddities everywhere.

Laws are impartial, but legislators take sides.

Just as in a certain country on Earth during a certain period, it was both a paradise of freedom, a benchmark of democracy, and a paragon of rule of law, shining with the glow of rationality, while also being the biggest slaveholder in the civilized world. Its founding fathers were both great saints and merciless slaughterers of thousands of natives.

This is 'positionality.' The noble civilized people see it as a radiant country, a saint actively stepping down in favor of the wise. To the indigenous people of the land, however, it is a wicked nation built on tears and blood, a pulse driven by slavery.

The difference between cultivators and mortals is even greater than that between 'civilized people' and 'barbarians.' Physical laws of the universe permanently confine mortals, who can't manipulate spiritual energy, to feudal societies and small-scale economies. In contrast, powerful cultivators are almost omnipotent.

Legislators of the Immortal Alliance are cultivators as well. Their standpoint is on the side of cultivators, hence the rules under their theorem also start from the cultivators' perspective.

Maliciously harming mortals, executed immediately.

Those who abuse their own strength to bully the weak, surely lack character and 'malice' appears as their disdain for the rules. Such cultivators cannot become qualified 'components.' Forcibly installing them would only invite disasters, thus execution is deemed necessary.

Destroying a mortal's property results in confinement. This rule follows similar logic. For cultivators, 'confinement' is a form of 'cultivation,' a method to 'nourish the spirit' and 'reform education.' This is precisely why even mere destruction of private property gets punished by confinement.

In the binary context of immortal versus mortal, this without doubt constitutes an excellent strategy set. From the cultivators' standpoint, the undesirable elements are swept away. From the mortals' viewpoint, their losses are compensated.

Yet Wang Qi still felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was the imprint left from his previous life, or maybe it was because he, having grown from a mortal to a Foundation Establishment cultivator in just five years, hadn't yet adjusted his excitement. In his subconscious, mortals and cultivators were the same species and should be equal.

'Are reason and emotion ultimately different...' It was Chen Feng who snapped Wang Qi out of his thoughts. He no longer paid attention to the court proceedings, focusing his efforts on deploying the Holy Light.

This was a fact he had recently discovered. The Holy Light he initially comprehended was a variant of the Life Flame, not a Lower Divine Power, but a specialized form of the Life Flame in the realm of spirit. That high-entropy demon was so strong that to counteract it, the Holy Light which emerged was so close to the essence of life.

Fundamentally, there is no superiority or inferiority between Holy Light and Life Flame, but the classical mode as Life Flame is the result of countless research and eliminations in Tianling Ridge, and Wang Qi himself couldn't master Holy Light, so the Holy Light was completely assimilated by the Life Flame.

The few participants in the trial felt the area suddenly brighten a bit. However, the old couple, being mortals, noticed nothing amiss. Both lawyers and the defendant's son thought it was natural light. Only Fu Silu, acting as the judge, sensed something and gave Wang Qi and Chen Feng a deep look.

After they left, the spells of Wang Qi and Chen Feng truly began.

White Fire of Negative Entropy, Life Fire spread throughout the hall. This was a very extreme usage, unrestrainedly splashing Life Flame could ignite Life Fire in a large amount of inorganic matter, leading to widespread demonization. However, Chen Feng, with his delicate and microscopic control, managed the flow throughout the hall, ensuring it didn't linger in the floors, walls, or furniture interiors.

Soon, white flames covered the entire courtroom. From a distance, it looked like a fire disaster.

Then, Wang Qi abruptly harnessed the power of Holy Light.

The white Light of Order rippled throughout the courtroom. Unlike Chen Feng, Wang Qi had no intention of controlling the power. He incessantly raised the output of power and broadcasted the Divine Light's Negative Entropy Force as electromagnetic radiation. The frequency was supposed to exceed the perceptual limits of the human eye, but Wang Qi's power was so immense that even the untransformed power could temporarily blind someone.

The Holy Light radiating to the walls collided with the Life Flame layer Chen Feng had laid down, then two different forces began devouring each other. This was one of the original faces of life, pure 'feasting.' With the layer of Life Flame in place, the Holy Light did not permeate the surroundings too much. Instead, the space wrapped by Life Flame formed a richly vital space.

At this moment, Fu Silu, having just left the Criminal Law Department, turned back in shock, exclaiming, 'Such immense vitality...'"

Not only him, but at this moment, all cultivators near the Criminal Law Department marveled. This enormous life force could even rival that of a giant demon in the sea. If a life form were to obtain a life force equal to this through mere physical strength, its body would surely not be much smaller than a mountain!

Farther away, within the Divine Capital, myriad ancient thoughts rose. They yet to know what was causing the disturbance, but an Ancient Method Practitioner, who survived from two thousand years ago, instinctively sensed terror.

Disregarding combat power and discussing only the "essence," this power had neared that of a Primordial Spirit Master.

Chen Feng and Wang Qi had not intended to create such a large spectacle. In fact, according to their calculations, such a massive reaction shouldn't have occurred.

"It doesn't make sense, the Holy Light God merely drew from me and merely four others with Holy Light Magic and could be born prematurely. Now the combined strength of ours and Li Qiang's should be over a hundred times that of the last time; it makes no sense that it still hasn't manifested."

Wang Qi felt the mana he had barely managed to suppress beginning to surge uncontrollably. Three Dragon Clan coins acted on their own, continuously absorbing the excess mana, which helped maintain an equilibrium in his internal circulation.

Chen Feng did not have a Divine Artifact like the Dragon Clan coin, so the pressure he endured was greater and stronger. His hands trembled slightly, nearly unleashing the increasingly abundant mana within him: "Calculation error... I feel our Negative Entropy Force is being drained through some special channel. The 'Immortal Alliance Law' system… has already existed for several centuries, and if it's the concept of 'Law,' then for sixty thousand years. Legalist Saints... are not something your Holy Light God can compare to!"

"Inconceivable, the doctrine of the Holy Light God also contains many precepts of the sages, it shouldn't be much inferior to that of a Legalist Saint..."

"The strength of the thought itself is not important, the important thing is how many people spread it..." Chen Feng had no choice but to sit cross-legged, concentrating solely on stabilizing himself.

The strength lies not in the thought itself, but in the people who uphold it. If the thought is beneficial, then its adherents are naturally powerful, and thus the thought itself possesses power.

To endow inanimate objects with life is a complex process. Moreover, the larger the system receiving this power, the greater the force needed to enliven it.

The "Immortal Alliance Law" system had existed for several centuries, but no one had intentionally guided its power, so it had never come to life. However, over the centuries, the system covering all of Shenzhou had absorbed an amount of Spiritual Energy far exceeding profound depths, only that its Spirit Energy Eigenform is unique and different, so most cultivators cannot perceive it.

Wang Qi and Chen Feng had initiated it to make it perceivable and easily perceivable.

Suddenly, Wang Qi sensed something amiss. He hurriedly pulled Chen Feng: "Quick, withdraw power!"

Chen Feng immediately withdrew the Life Flame, and Wang Qi timely weakened the Holy Light he was harnessing. He closed his eyes, sensing the space-time field in various ways.

It was changing.

Something was changing.

Spiritual Energy was changing from chaos to order. Some sort of order, some Law emerged.

Wang Qi opened his eyes, his gaze profound. Jarvis fully assisted, generating an infinite-dimensional Hilbert Space, analyzing the Spiritual Power here.

The excess mana immediately found an outlet, madly surging toward two Immortal Artifacts. The Immortal Artifact Level refining materials, surpassing all earthly materials in conventional properties, provided an unimaginable computing power. The "Mathematics" and "Discrete" began to fiercely drive the rendering progress with brute force.

The virtual high-dimensional space came alive with trembling, curve-like lines that pulsed like a sleeping giant beast's heartbeat. Stimulated by the Negative Entropy Force, the slumbering behemoth stirred excitedly!

Wang Qi extended his hand, Holy Light shimmered in his palm. His palm swept across where the three-dimensional projection of that line existed.

Rich vitality infused into the void, and the curve emitted the strongest sound ever heard.

Then, the imperceptible fluctuations of Spiritual Energy finally underwent perceivable changes. Chen Feng, elated, threw out the Tianyi Spirit Jade he had prepared in advance. The mysterious force in the void, upon contacting the unique Spiritual Energy in the Tianyi Spirit Jade, rapidly multiplied. In an instant, the hazy jade turned shiny silver.

Wang Qi grabbed the piece of jade in retrospect, sighing, "It wasn't easy."

Chen Feng slowly transferred the mana outside his body, saying, "We still need a set of corresponding laws... You have fully analyzed the Divine Tao rules. Once this mana's intrinsic form analysis is out, Youjia can also deduce the specific heart secret, but the application of the method..."

"That's not a problem." Wang Qi snapped his fingers, pulling Chen Feng into a simple illusion that clearly conserved computing power, surrounded by sheer whiteness. A robed old man in the center of the illusion was deducing magic.

"Hey, old man, how is the preparation of the Legalist inheritance I asked you to organize?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote and support me. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
