A person can change their environment; on the surface, this can bring change. This is why many people continually shift environments, attempting to resolve life's contradictions.
But in essence, changing environments primarily alters the level of pressure.
In a good environment, pressure is reduced, allowing a person to handle certain matters with ease, possibly triggering life changes. However, true nobility reveals itself under pressure.
With wealth and leisure, most can feign honor, but only those who remain steadfast under immense pressure possess true resolve.
The fundamental reason a nouveau riche cannot become noble is the lack of integrity; whether a person can change depends on their perseverance.
Therefore, Li Babai is still Li Babai!
In another world, even if he eliminates himself, Li Babai's actions remain traceable.
