Condemning the Heavens

Chapter 478: 478

In the beginning, when Xue Wei arrived at the Xiyang Empire, he had encountered the Monarch Piranha Flower, but after spending more than five months with the flower deeply rooted within his heart, much of the initial chaos was gone now .

He understood the dangers of the flower, but currently, it was in hibernation and was not causing problems for him .

It would become a ticking time bomb when it did wake up, but the length of time it needed for this to happen was unknown .

But the puzzling thing was that at the beginning they would travel far and wide without encountering anyone, but after four months in the continent, they were encountering battles every day, and more than one battle each day .

As soon as they located someone, it was certain that a whole bunch of people would follow, and the battle would exhaust them both physically and mentally .

But it was precisely in these situations that they grew, when they were exhausted and feeling as if they could not go on, but knew that if they succumbed, their lives would be forfeit, and thus, they found the inner energy they did not know they had .

Time and time again, they were pushing their limits, but they were not unhappy . Instead, their eyes, albeit full of exhaustion, were sparkling with life and excitement .

This was why they had joined the war; they had wanted to push their limits, transcend their potential, and step forward, closer and closer to the apex of the cultivation world .

During all the battles, Lan had just been a bystander . He had never raised a hand; neither had he bothered to attack anyone who ran towards him . At most, he would dodge the attacks until Xue Wei, or one of the others were freed from their own opponents and picked them up .

The more Lan saw, the more puzzled he became . He began understanding Xue Wei’s personality better, and he even started respecting and liking him .

He spent many days observing Xue Wei, observing his attentiveness towards his friends and how he would sometimes block a critical attack aimed at them .

During the battles, Xue Wei had kept an overview of all his friends . When someone was pressured or had a hard time coping, he would instantly step in, even if he knew that it would bring him injuries .

After each battle, the one who had gotten the most injured each time was Xue Wei, but he never complained, and his friends never thanked him . This did not mean that they were not grateful, but their gratefulness was too profound to be expressed with a mere thank you .

There were so many things that they were grateful to Xue Wei for . He had given them a new chance in life, saved them from the darkness in which they resided, and brought them to see the world .

He was willing to take a sword strike for them, he was ready to do anything in his power to protect his friends, and his feelings were not at all hidden, all of them were aware of it, and their hearts were swelling with pride for having such a friend .

It was also then that Lan finally began understanding Xue Wei . Amongst them all, Lan was the one who met Xue Wei first, but he had never tried to understand him before . He had either teased him or seen him as a tool to get what he wanted .

Now that he began seeing Xue Wei as a living being, he also began growing a notion of wanting to befriend him . Initially, he had never tried to understand him, but now he felt that it was a pity that he had wasted so many years looking down on him .

"I once thought that this world was wicked," Lan suddenly began speaking while looking down at Xue Wei and the others who were lying on the ground, completely listless and full of exhaustion .

"I thought that the world was unfair, that the people who truly deserved to be respected were cursed, and that the fools were the ones who were blessed .

"But looking at you people, I am starting to understand that things are not exactly as I thought . Everyone has their own misfortune and luck; it is just that it differs from person to person . "

Xue Wei was lying on his back on the ground, looking at Lan who was looking down at him, his eyes full of solemnity . He understood that Lan was starting to open up to them, but he did not understand why . What could have changed Lan’s thoughts on him?

"Once upon a time, I came to this world as a foreigner," Lan said as he looked into the distance . "I was merely curious to see the realm where the Vermilion Bird, my Grandfather, whom I never saw before came from .

"I was curious and saw a small hut where a youth was living alone . She was a mixed breed, and back then, mixed breeds were all over the world .

"She was not talented, she was nothing special, but to me, she will always be the most important being in the whole world .

"It is because of her that I am now protecting this world, this is her legacy, and when she returns, I will give her the world that she loved . "

"Come back?" Xue Wei frowned . "Both you and Hui Yue have told me that it is impossible to be brought back to life when one has died . "

Lan looked at him and grinned . "It is not possible to be reincarnated, and you do not end up in the Ten Courts of Hell as you do in most other worlds, but there is still a chance to see them again, and this chance has appeared because of your birth into this world . You are not only the Holy Son of the Sovereign Beasts, but you are also the Rule Breaker . "
