Zhouyang had an epiphany.
He never intended to be a great benevolent person, nor did he ever want to be a pushover.
He just wanted to be an ordinary person with justice in his heart, believing in justice, even though he might not always be able to uphold it.
Killing and seizing treasures is evil, he admitted that he played the villain this time.
Recognizing his wrongdoing and loathing such evil acts was precisely a reflection of his sense of justice.
Evil acts are not the most terrifying; what's terrifying is committing evil without acknowledging it as wrong.
Those demonic cultivators carry out countless evil deeds yet can still refine pills and form infants, passing the "Heart Demon Tribulation." This is because they never think what they're doing is wrong, and thus, their hearts feel no guilt nor remorse.
Zhouyang is not a demon cultivator and cannot take that path.
