"Naturally, it wasn't just me. There were a few others who had a similar mindset as mine. During that period, we traveled through countless stars and realms and eventually made enemies everywhere. It could be said we were too young and arrogant." Yun Xia said further.
"Whenever we got into troubles that we couldn't handle, we would ask Beyond Heaven King for help… Yes, it was a shameless act." A trace of shame could be seen in her eyes when she spoke to this point.
Yun Lintian didn't look down on her because of this. It was understandable as Yun Xia and her fellow villagers grew up under Beyond Heaven King's safety net. Whether it was resources or profound arts, they could obtain them without effort. And this could lead them to develop an arrogant and ignorant personality.
Not to mention, Beyond Heaven King was regarded as the most powerful person in the Divine Realm. With such a person standing behind their backs, was there anyone they needed to be afraid of?
Yun Xia said further after a short moment of silence. "Among the enemies were descendants of top powerhouses that were not far inferior to Beyond Heaven King's faction. Because of the name of Beyond Heaven King, they naturally didn't dare to do anything to us in the end."
"However, we were too ignorant to understand that we had unintentionally created enemies for him too."
A hint of pain emerged in the depths of her eyes as she said further. "As you know that Beyond Heaven King had fallen in the end. Among the enemies who were responsible for his demise were no other than those powerhouses. Originally, they had no interest in becoming an enemy with him, but because of us, they didn't want to be suppressed by him further."
"Although the true 'enemy' wasn't them, it was undeniable that they had played a good role in this incident… Perhaps the situation would be better without them."
Yun Xia looked at Yun Lintian and said. "Even though the situation was severe and he couldn't even save himself, he didn't forget to send us away first and ensure that we were safe and sound… Tell me, am I not a sinner?"
Facing her question, Yun Lintian sighed softly and said. "It's not your fault entirely, grandma. In fact, you should be aware that even if you don't make enemies out of them, they will eventually attack Beyond Heaven King whenever they have a chance. After all, no one likes to have someone sitting on their heads… This has nothing to do with you. They just took an opportunity."
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Yun Xia's face as she said. "It's funny, right? I keep telling you to rely on your strength instead of external things, but I am the one who relies on him instead… Honestly speaking, I'm not even qualified to teach you at all."
Yun Lintian went silent. He didn't know what to say about this. Was she a sinner? Of course not. But she wasn't entirely uninvolved either… It was simple yet complicated at the same time.
A moment later, Yun Lintian decided to divert her mood by asking. "Grandma, who is the true enemy you are saying?"
Yun Xia's eyes flashed with deep hatred when she heard this. She thought for a moment and shook her head. "I cannot tell you right now because you are still too weak and cannot shoulder the terrifying pressure once you know it. What you need most now is to grow. The pressure you are shouldering currently is the right amount. If it is too much, it will only seriously affect your growth."
She took a deep look at Yun Lintian and said further. "You only need to know two things right now… Firstly, it is to grow as fast as possible, collecting all the relics in the shortest time possible. Secondly, it is to value your life. You must live properly and only take a risk when it matters the most… If you die, everything he has gambled on will become nothingness and gone forever."
She raised her head to look at the star-filled night sky. "Your life is too short, your experiences are too few, and your strength and soul are far too weak. Once his enemies discover your existence, it won't be only you, but every single one around you will be erased."
"The path ahead of you is filled with thorns and mountains. Each one of them is bigger than another… I hope you can overcome them in the end."
Yun Lintian closed his eyes as he felt his heart become heavy. Before this, he only knew that he had to become the strongest person in this world and give people around him the highest security possible.
However, as time passed, he gradually understood that his original goal was too low. The power he had inherited was beyond anything he could imagine before, but he was actually satisfied with a mere standing at the top of the world. This was simply wasted Beyond Heaven King's inheritance.
As spiderman's uncle said, great power comes with great responsibility. Why should I aim at the topmost? How about becoming a god?.
When Yun Lintian opened his eyes again, everything had become clearer. It was as if the original road ahead of him had grown longer and wider. All the fog that blocked his sight had disappeared entirely. He wasn't limited to a narrow and short path anymore.
"I understand, grandma." Yun Lintian said confidently. "Although I didn't choose his power myself, I will live up to his name…."
He suddenly paused and shook his head. "No. I will become stronger than him. I will make sure that no one in this universe or other universes can be a threat to me."
As he finished his sentence, the initially gentle breeze suddenly became stronger. The stars and moon in the sky also glowed brighter. It was as though they were responding to his words.
Yun Xia was surprised and looked at the sky briefly. A strange light flashed through her eyes as she seemed to discover something extraordinary.
The same went for Hongyue and Lauya in the Land of Beyond Heaven.
"Heaven and earth actually resonate with him…?" Hongyue said in surprise.
