Wang Wei scanned Xiao Tiandi's body with his Divine Sense and almost smacked his lips. He could feel a terrifying power preventing anyone from accessing Xiao Tiandi's physique. The power protected his blood and even his hair and teeth.
Ignoring the latter's attempt to get rid of his seal, Wang Wei looked at Lord Spirit, who happily announced he was the winner. Finally, Wang Wei released Xiao Tiandi from his grip.
As the winner of this battle, he won a great deal of Destiny–even more than he anticipated. Furthermore, Wang Wei could feel that a vision was about to appear due to his Innate Paragon Soul defeating the Innate Dao Source Physique.
He quickly calculated that it was one of the reasons he acquired so much destiny from Xiao Tiandi. Nevertheless, this was unimportant since he did not want the vision to appear as it could reveal his soul.
So, he quickly denied its appearance. He could sense some odd gaze from Lord Spirit, but he did not look back or explain anything. Instead, he looked directly into Xiao Tiandi's eyes and said:
"I know why I dislike you. You reek of laziness and depression. Despite having supposedly the greatest talent for cultivation, your Willpower is so weak that it's pitiful."
"You know nothing about me," roared Xiao Tiandi. "So, don't act as if you do."
"I don't need to know anything about you to know you seem to have given up."
"Shut up," he roared again, this time even louder as his voice echoed throughout the entire miniature world.
"Do you know what I've been through? Do you know how much I suffer, how much pressure I'm under," Xiao Tiandi replied with clenched hands.
"Before I started cultivating, life was beautiful. I was born with the most remarkable talent under Heaven and Earth, making everyone in my family proud and looking forward to my future.
"I was lucky to meet my master, who cared for and protected me; she was the only one who saw the real me, not the Xiao Tiandi with the Innate Dao Source Physique.
"However, everything changed when I began my cultivation journey and learned about the world. My talent was not a gift–it was a curse. Every time I made progress, every time I made an achievement, every time my reputation soared, I could feel it:
"The gaze of the 2 Suns and 7 Moons. And it was not a friendly gaze. They saw me as nothing but a nuisance, a problem that had to be dealt with eventually. They saw me as an eventual threat to their reign."
"So, in response, you made yourself smaller to not get their attention? You wasted your potential by wailing in self-pity, cursing at unfair the world was?" asked Wang with a sneer and great disdain.
He finally understood why Xiao Tiandi did not even attempt the Nine Extremity Foundation or even try cultivating an Outlaw Dao. Wang Wei guessed this was the excuse he used to not even enter the Duyi Realm since he could not sense its power on the latter.
"I had no choice," quickly replied Xiao Tiandi, his voice raised to the point of roaring again.
"This was the only way to survive and protect me, my family, and my master. I had to look unthreatened to them; I had to waste my potential."
Wang Wei looked down at the other upper seeded-players. He could sense fear, frustration, and unwillingness in Shi Ruolan and Xi Shangyan. Even Ao Tianyi–who managed to regain some bearing–felt some emotions similar to this.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yucheng gloated despite his face looking peaceful and normal, and Monk Wuzhi lowered his head, showing shame and regret.
"I finally understand why the upper and lower dimension is separated," Wang Wei said calmly. "In the Endless Void, there can only be 3000 Great Emperors in each generation. Ans quintillion upon quintillion of races competes for these spots.
"And usually, only the best of the best gets to sit on the throne. Only the best have a chance at achieving eternity and escaping the shackles of death.
"Meanwhile, Heaven Wills is probably so common on the upper dimension that you treat it as an ordinary resource. With this mindset, without the pressure to be the absolute best, without the threat of death, the Emperors you cultivate are ordinary, weak, underachievers, complacent, and weak-willed.
"Unfortunately, that zeitgeist has been passed down to you, the younger generation."
"What are you trying to say?" asked Xiao Tiandi with gritted teeth.
"I bet there is a revolution against the so-called 2 Suns and 7 Moons you mentioned, and the main lead of it are the Emperors from the lower dimension, am I right?"
"You don't understand," yelled Xiao Tiandi, his voice full of despair. "I had to protect my master." ƒгeewёbnovel.com
