865 There Was A Way

Di Tian was not surprised by the fact Wang Wei was reincarnated. When they first met at the Academy, he sensed the power of reincarnation from his soul and concluded he was not a brand new soul and was probably a powerhouse with memories from his past life.

Furthermore, the changes he brought to the mortals in the Dao Opening Sect’s territory have raised eyebrows for many people. After analyzing the changes, many people speculated Wang Wei had knowledge of another civilization and was recreating it in this world.

However, Di Tian did not expect Wang Wei’s past life to have such a terrible experience; such loneliness is not something anyone can bear. Immortal Cultivators of Tier 10 and above live a long life.

However, they spent much of their time cultivating and comprehending Grand Dao. As a result of their intense focus and deep meditation, they do not feel the passage of time.

For them, millions of years can feel in an instant once they finish their cultivation. What they have to worry about in their long life span is how difficult it is to understand the Grand Dao Source or the frustration that their cultivation speed is too slow.

So, even a Great Emperor and above cultivator might not survive the loneliness Wang Wei experienced–especially since he was a mortal who did not temper his Dao Heart or state of mind.

Di Tian exhaled deeply as he finished deleting most of these memories. Furthermore, the residual energy from the pill alleviated the previous backlash. He stood up as he looked at his opponent, a deeper sense of respect flashed in his eyes.

However, he soon became irritated as he saw the pity in Wang Wei’s eyes.

“What’s with your eyes? Do you think I want or need your pity?”

“I think you’ve misunderstood something.”

Di Tian snorted coldly, “You were lucky that the love of your life was strong enough not to be used as a pawn. Otherwise, your fate would be the same as mine.”

“You’re wrong. Even if she were, I would still have passed the trial. And if something had happened to her, Heavenly Dao–and the whole world–would have felt my wrath.”

Everyone watching this legendary battle felt a chill down their spine; they instinctively thought it would be terrible for this man to become evil.

Di Tian was quiet. Dao Overlords are scary not only because of their intelligence but because of their lack of weakness; to be exact, they know their weaknesses and can control themselves not to allow anyone to use them.

The main point is these people are extremely cruel–both to themselves, their enemy, and the people around them. Acquiring the wrath of any Dao Overlord by harming their loved one is the biggest mistake anyone can make between Heaven and Earth.

Throughout the history of the Chaos Universe, so many worlds or Heavenly Daos have been trampled on by these Dao Overlords. Grand Dao–the almighty ruler of this universe–has bled six times since its existence, and two of these six times were the result of Dao Overlords trying to get revenge.

“Tell me, if you were me, what would you have done?” asked Di Tian, wondering how Wang Wei would have passed his trial.

“You have made too many mistakes I would never have,” replied Wang Wei. “You only recognized you were in the trial at the last minute. I would never make such a blunder.”

Wang Wei sighed, shaking at Di Tian’s ignorance. Although he understood that Di Tian now is different from his young self, regardless, the experiences and abilities of the two were too different.

“I had a pass from Heavenly Dao. So, why would I still think about that trial?” argued Di Tian, despite knowing he felt to see the hints other people were giving him that his actions of pursuing perfection were taboo.

“Let me ask, during that time, did you know of the existence of True Heavenly Dao and Grand Dao?”

Di Tian frowned, not understanding the reason for this question. But he still answered: “I did.” His status was quite high on the human side, so he had access to many secrets. Plus, because of his pursuit of perfection, he had to learn various things; he could be called a knowledgeable scholar and even a Sage.

“Then, you should have deduced your fate,” said Wang Wei. “The Supreme Outlaw Trial is one of the fundamental laws of Heaven and Earth, trying to balance and restrict the overuse of the most powerful Daos ever created.

“It’s something that Grand Dao itself has dictated. So, what makes you think the Heavenly Dao of one world in a Lower Dimension could give you a pass?”

Di Tian’s face became ugly.

“Have you figured it out?” continued Wang Wei with a sneer. “The battle between Acquired and Innate Life was probably an event that would determine the protagonist of Heaven and Earth; it was a war that would determine the trend of the world.

“So, True Heavenly Dao did not interfere when our world’s Heavenly Dao gave you the pass. However, what do you think would have been your fate had you proved the Dao and ascended to the upper dimension?

“Do you think True Heavenly Dao would allow you to control one of the five Supreme Daoas without proving your worthiness?”

Di Tian did not answer since he knew the answer.

“So, you would have to take the trial one way or the other,” continued Wang Wei. “Your best outcome is that it would lower the difficulty because of your merit in the war.”

Di Tian had a somber aura around his body. He had thought about that day for too long. He often dreamt what his life would have been like had he passed the test, had he made different choices, had he been wiser and more decisive–had he saved her.

But now, he realized the future he always imagined was nothing but this–dream. Actions have consequences, and karma binds and connects everything.

The moment he chose to cultivate Creation Dao, he was doomed to walk a difficult journey full of perils and uncertainty. And the people connected to him would be affected.

Di Tian exhaled to calm down his rampaging emotions.

“You didn’t answer my question. How would you have passed my trial? And don’t say anything stupid like abandoning my path of perfection.”

Wang Wei shook his head after hearing this,” Haven’t you realized you’ve become obsessed?”

“What is an obsession, and what is an unwavering pursuit?” asked Di Tian. “You pursued becoming free and unfettered, the ultimate freedom. Tell me, would you be willing to give up your goal of becoming free?”

“Of course not.”

“Then, why is your pursuit a goal, desire, or ambition, and mine is an unhealthy obsession?” argued Di Tian. “You’re willing to do anything to become free–even sacrificing your life. But I’m the same to achieve perfection.”

Wang Wei looked him in the eyes, “Because my pursuit is not hurting the people I love.”

Di Tian clenched his fists, making the void tremble. It took all his efforts to restrain himself and not lash out.

“How do you think she feels when your pursuit involves rejecting everything else about her except for one thing? Your every word and action are essentially telling her she is flawed, not complete, and as such, not worthy of your love.”

“Shut up,” said Di Tian with gritted teeth. “What do you know about us? About our love? About what I had to endure so we could one day reunite?

“Do you know the sacrifices I’ve made? Do you know what it feels like to live every day with a permanent emptiness in your soul? To live with a deep longing that can never be fulfilled?”

Di Tian’s eyes were bloodshed, and his body trembled as he controlled his anger.

“I can see you love her,” said Wang Wei calmly. “But I can also see your actions are full of selfishness.”

The killing intent in Di Tian’s eyes was uncontrollable, leaking into the surrounding. However, he soon calmed down as his eyes became cold and indifferent.

“I need some closure,” said Di Tian, returning to a state like a calm lake without any ripples. “So, tell me, how would you pass my trial?”

“Why should I tell you?”

“Here,” replied Di Tian, sending five brilliant lights. Wang Wei saw they were Emperor Artifacts. Although of the lowest quality, they were still Emperor Artifacts; they could still be decomposed for their material.

Without any pretense, Wang Wei waved his hand to put them away.

“If it were me, I would have sealed Heavenly Dao and have her absorb it.”

“What will that do?” asked Di Tian, not understanding how that would allow him to pass his trial. Furthermore, Heavenly Dao was not so easy to seal or absorb–especially since its power was at an all-time high during the trial.

“To be exact, I would have stolen its essence,” explained Wang Wei. “The only true perfect thing in existence is Grand Dao. So, Heavenly Dao, as an extension, will also contain some of its [Perfect Essence].

“Once she has the essence, Grand Dao would grant her permission to exist and maybe even pursue Immortal Perfection.”

Di Tian became dazed after hearing this.

“So, there was a way,” he muttered.
