Vermilion Bird gave Zhang Chi some very favorable conditions, but Zhang Chi had absolutely no intention of accepting them.
In the face of Vermilion Bird's moral coercion, Zhang Chi played his own hand of shameless impudence.
As long as I'm without morals, no one can expect me to do any work.
Save the world?
Let whoever loves saving it save it.
Zhang Chi didn't harbor any grand sentiment of sacrificing himself to protect the world; he just hoped someone else would save the world and incidentally save him too.
Though this thought might be a bit selfish, but...
If this world definitely needs someone to save it, then why must it be me?
The rice that Heavenly Dao is chasing to feed, I didn't eat a single bite!
The rice he ate is all from his wife's soft meal; it doesn't count as given by Heavenly Dao.
"If everyone waits for others to save the world, this world will sooner or later be destroyed."
