Xia Tian cherished fixing issues, solely to shatter them once more later.

It was a pleasure he took in.

With out granting her an opportunity to voice her opinion, he issued a command, his authority unmistakable. “Little fox, I order you to return to your so-called father and have a dialog with him, no matter your emotions in direction of him.”

“Why?” Xu Qing requested, her confusion evident.

Xia Tian smirked, his true motives remaining shrouded. “Why do not you uncover it for your self,” he replied cryptically, his voice laced with thriller. The phrases rendered Xu Qing momentarily speechless.

With a sly grin, Xia Tian made her get up after which walked away, whistling a tune, leaving her alone to grapple along with her swirling ideas.

On the best way, he discovered a park the place young children have been taking part in with their dad and mom watching them, and joined the scene.

The remainder may be mentioned to be a nightmare…

There was information on TV the identical day of quite a few deaths reported on the similar park, with everybody dying in a singular method.

The CCTV footage revealed a person with a blurred face going round, laughing as he dedicated all these crimes.

On the slide manufactured from steel, he dropped acidic liquid and made the youngsters go over it many times, till their bottoms melted.

For the adults, he had a good higher concept. He put them on swings and used some type of magic to allow them to go round 360° in a circle. The second they misplaced their grip, their our bodies launched into the air, ultimately falling and dying.

Xia Tian additionally needed to see if he may use some infants as his skateboard and instantly put it to the trial.

The end result was good!

He made a pathway with kids as cobblestones operating above them.

Only for enjoyable, additionally they labored as piano, all crying otherwise when he stepped over them.

He appeared to create a brand new music of his personal!

A brand new type of piano!

Haha!

Even the individuals who noticed the footage have been petrified, and all the upper ups of Beijing have been alerted!

As they walked by town, chaos appeared to path behind Xia Tian like a tempest. “How are you going to fully upend a whole metropolis in simply in the future?” Evelynn blinked, her expression a combination of bewilderment and incredulity.

Regardless that she had spent numerous hours in his firm, the thriller of Xia Tian’s capacity to unleash havoc with a mere fleeting presence inside a dimension continued to baffle Evelynn.

It was as if he held a supernatural energy to disturb the very material of actuality.

With a silent willpower, Evelynn typically undertook the menial process of cleansing up the mess he left in his wake.

But, her motive wasn’t to avoid wasting him the inconvenience. As a substitute, she sought to divert any direct confrontations, figuring out that dealing with his full may head-on may result in utter annihilation.

She feared that he may redirect his ire to a different place, an act that, given his breathtaking pace, may render whole universes barren of life.

Amid their dialog, Xia Tian’s retort pierced the air, laced together with his common audacious confidence. “Similar to I may remodel you into all 4 types in a single second.”

“I do not consider it!” Evelynn instantly shot again.

Xia Tian’s steps halted, his gaze assembly hers straight.

Then commenced a peculiar duel between two narcissists—every striving to outstare the opposite, an uncommon battle of wills.

Unsurprisingly, Xia Tian emerged victorious of their silent staring contest, although this was removed from essentially the most outstanding prevalence of the day.

Later, he escorted Evelynn to a room for a disciplinary lesson, leaving the main points to the creativeness.

As evening descended, a wearied Xia Chen discovered himself on a bridge by the lake, his gaze mounted on the distant horizon.

“Hah..”

A sigh escaped him, laden with an air of melancholy.

In stark distinction, Xia Tian’s spirits remained undiminished.

For him, happiness was a alternative transcending circumstances; he believed one may even smile within the face of demise itself, it was extra about matter of alternative and never circumstances.

Observing Xia Chen’s somber countenance from the shadows, the outdated fox discovered his curiosity piqued.I feel it’s best to check out

An intriguing concept crossed his thoughts—what if he stripped Xia Chen of all the things he held pricey?

Would that remodel him into a person with nothing left to lose?

Unbeknownst to Xia Chen, he had already change into the goal of the outdated fox’s experiment.

*Growth!*

Solely when a hand landed with a stinging slap on his again did Xia Chen’s eyes widen. “Ahh!” He gritted his tooth to suppress the ache, his physique tensing as he swiftly turned in direction of the intruder, alertness taking up.

“Little Chen, you are still weak!” Xia Tian’s smirk mirrored Xia Chen’s personal, although the mockery in his tone was evident and unwelcome.

Frustration bubbled up inside Xia Chen, a torrent of phrases itching to flee his lips. But, he launched a sigh as an alternative, his shoulders slumping in defeat.

‘How can he transfer out and in like a specter?’ he questioned, a perplexed frustration etching his options. Even together with his Immortal soul sense at its peak, he could not detect the slightest hint of Xia Tian’s presence—nearly as if the person did not exist.

Xia Tian’s methods have been merely on one other stage, enabling him to mix seamlessly with the very parts of nature.

This extraordinary talent granted him the uncanny capacity to method anybody, slipping previous their defenses with out leaving even a hint of his presence.

“I’ve detected traces of individuals from the Sacred Sky Jade Realm right here,” Xia Chen all of a sudden acknowledged, his tone steadying as he regained his composure.

Xia Tian remained nonchalant, gesturing for him to proceed.

“If I am not mistaken,” Xia Chen continued, “they appear to be making an attempt to extract the core of this realm, presumably to be used as an ingredient in some method.”

Feigning shock, Xia Tian raised an eyebrow, “What sort of method would necessitate a realm’s core?”

Xia Chen’s expression darkened, his voice carrying a grave weight. “So far as I do know, there’s just one such method—an ascension to immortality. Somebody is making an attempt to forcibly break away from the confines of mortality and ascend to the realm of immortals.”

A shadow of concern handed over Xia Chen’s options. “Their objective have to be to achieve dominion over your entire Sacred Sky Jade Realm.”

A sneer twisted Xia Chen’s lips as he declared, “However at what price? All of the inhabitants of this realm would perish! As soon as the core is extracted, these mortals will not survive.”

His voice dripped with disdain as he continued, “Why this insatiable thirst for energy? Is that the one factor that issues on this world?”

Xia Tian interjected all of a sudden, his voice regular, “You may reside with out energy.”

“Huh?” Xia Chen’s brows raised in delicate shock.

Increasing on his thought, Xia Tian defined, “You may reside with out energy, however then do not lament when these stronger than you strip away your possessions. Do not complain when the highly effective management you and your destiny. It is a alternative you make.”

Xia Chen’s brow creased in a frown, his response laced with conviction, “I do not kill numerous individuals for energy!”

Xia Tian’s laughter rang out, his tone unrelenting. “That is additionally your alternative. However brace your self for a day when somebody extra highly effective than you, somebody who would not hesitate to sacrifice lives for energy, comes your approach. On that day, your lofty morals may result in your downfall.”

Xia Chen’s face contorted into a combination of anger and melancholy.

He could not assist however be suffering from recollections of that fateful evening—the evening when everybody he held pricey was mercilessly slaughtered earlier than his very eyes.

A way of regret clawed at him. Hadn’t their deaths been a direct results of his personal weak point? Did the trail to energy really matter, so long as one ended up being essentially the most highly effective?

Such reflections unraveled his as soon as unshakable convictions. The simplicity of his beliefs, the ethical compass he had clung to so fervently, now appeared painfully naive and flawed.

The load of his previous errors, mixed with the blunt actuality of his personal limitations, struck him with an awesome drive. His gaze shifted, his eyes now mounted on Xia Tian.

For the second time, Xia Tian had shattered one among his cherished beliefs.

Doubt crept in, eroding his belief within the rules he had clung to.

Had been all his long-held beliefs nothing however falsehoods?

The difficulty lies not in holding beliefs itself…

It is the unquestioning inheritance of those beliefs that presents the true downside.

Most of the time, people take up beliefs like a sponge—absorbing what surrounds them, be it societal norms, parental affect, or the opinions of these of their quick circle. Hardly ever do they query the validity of those beliefs.

Beliefs ought to ideally be well-considered, validated concepts. One ought to persistently consider the veracity of the concepts they maintain. How a lot of what’s believed right now has been rigorously examined or scrutinized?

“What do you want most in life?” Xia Tian’s sudden query pierced the air.

Xia Chen’s expression shifted, a combination of shock and contemplation evident as his brows furrowed barely.
