Early summer.
The morning glow painted the eastern grasslands red.
Looking through the morning mist, the clouds and mist were magnificent. Zheng Ya strolled along the grassland, feeling refreshed: "What a beautiful day! So comfortable!"
"Hehe, the whole world is in constant war, everyone is in danger, busy trying to survive and make a living, but you are the only exception!" Daiyu followed closely and laughed.
The vast grasslands offer a sense of tranquility and joy.
However, it cannot make people forget the chaos of war and the plight of the people suffering from misery.
Especially for someone like Daiyu, who worries about the rise and fall of her family and sees no hope for its future, she often feels lost and helpless.
Zheng Ya was just a wanderer, never feeling a sense of belonging, and out of place in the world: "Haha, you're putting me in a difficult position!"
"Ah, don't overthink it. I never asked you to do anything for the world!" Daiyu said, afraid that he would misunderstand.
"Saintly bitch" is the word Zheng Ya hates the most.
In Daiyu's heart, Zheng Ya was not a heartless and ungrateful person who ignored the suffering of the world. Instead, he created a conglomerate and went around the world saving those who needed saving.
Although Zheng Ya did not order the conglomerate and the superpower team to take it upon themselves to save the poor people of the world, he merely showed boundless love and helped some people as a matter of course. But who in the world cares about the life and death of the poor?
Daiyu asked herself honestly, and there was no one else like Zheng Ya.
According to intelligence from the Supernatural Group and Xie Baochai, Prince Rong led his army straight into the rear of the Great Yan Dynasty, winning a decisive battle and abolishing the imperial rule of the Great Yan Dynasty.
They caught the Flame Dragon Iron Cavalry completely off guard.
Wu Wei originally ordered the Yanlong Iron Cavalry to split their forces, with one part attacking Lingtian Pass and the other heading to the Tianyan Mountains. They planned to use the lava pool to their advantage and orchestrate Zheng Ya's death, but this plan was disrupted when Prince Rong seized the Great Yan Dynasty.
When Wu Wei suppressed the plan to frame Zheng Ya and launched an attack on the Rongyan Dynasty, which was proclaimed by Prince Rong to overthrow the Great Yan Dynasty, his identity was exposed.
The two sides fought each other for half a year, with neither side gaining a decisive advantage.
This gave Zheng Ya the opportunity to develop supernatural abilities and magic, and also gave Emperor Chengping the chance to lead his troops north, force Wu Wei to hand over the retired emperor, and coerce Wu Wei into submission.
It was Emperor Chengping's involvement that forced Wuwei to be caught in the middle and suffer.
Wu Weiqi was so angry that he secretly ordered the subjugation of the Dark Yuan Dynasty's land, sea, and air monster legions. These legions were to infiltrate the Great Li Dynasty on a small scale, wreak havoc on the people, and incite the Eastern Lin Army to go to war with Emperor Chengping.
With war raging everywhere, the Eastern Lin Army had no choice but to remain in its isolated position and was passively drawn into the flames of war.
Furthermore, with cultivators from all over the world embroiled in a war to seize the treasure map of the Dragon Palace Secret Realm in Xie Ming's possession, and under the guidance of Wu Wei's clone Sheng Xiang, they intentionally or unintentionally created battlefields that affected the towns under the rule of the Eastern Lin Army and Emperor Chengping, causing widespread suffering and endless war.
Relatively speaking, Xie Ming appears to be fighting against all the cultivators in the world alone.
In fact, they were also secretly eliminating cultivators, repeatedly using the remaining formations in various parts of the world, and using various tempting methods such as the opening of secret realms and the emergence of treasures to set up killing traps to lure people into the formations and ambush cultivators from all over the world.
Unwittingly, they reached an agreement with Wu Wei's strategic policy of instigating war between the Donglin Army and Emperor Chengping, creating chaos, and seizing the opportunity to profit.
As a result, war raged across the land.
Even Zheng Ya, who was in a precarious position and had a keen eye for the situation, was powerless to do anything but try his best to save those who needed saving.
Zheng Ya has done a very good job, and Daiyu has no reason to blame him.
However, this made Zheng Ya feel lonely and out of place. He asked himself, "During those years when I traveled across Earth, wasn't I just playing around with life?"
He was cynical and did many absurd things.
Perhaps his superpowers fostered his ambition, destroying the habits he had developed through his social experiences. He was no longer law-abiding, busy with work every day just to make a living, wary of his superiors' difficulties and colleagues' schemes against him, living in a world of intrigue and backstabbing, unable to extricate himself, and instead became self-centered and determined to punish anyone who hated him.
They even went on a killing spree, indulged in playing games, and dominated the battlefield with an ambition to crush all who dared to challenge them, yearning for immortality!
Zheng Ya can no longer say whether it is right or wrong.
If it weren't for the frequent feelings of loneliness, the thoughts of his former lover Xu Qi and his child, and the influence of Daiyu's companionship, Zheng Ya would have found the root of his problem: living a carefree life with no peace of mind!
With a restless heart, Zheng Ya couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No one is perfect!"
I can't bring myself to lend a helping hand to anyone in trouble, to be a saint, to live for others; I probably won't become that kind of great person in my lifetime.
In truth, I am just an ordinary person, with the body and mind of an ordinary person, and the fate of an ordinary person.
And they're always thinking about mortals defying the heavens to achieve immortality?
Sometimes even I find it laughable. Under the heavens, all are but ants; as mortals, to disbelieve in fate and yet dare to dream of fighting for it—how utterly presumptuous!
"No, that's not how it is. Only when you stand out from the crowd and possess boundless love and ambition can you create the interstellar navigation beacon business and lay the foundation for humanity's advance into all the heavens and myriad worlds."
For this reason alone, you are unique in the world, and no one can compare to your boundless love! Daiyu also knew that this was a cause that Zheng Ya started in order to save himself and to defy fate, but Zheng Ya was the only pioneer.
There is no cause in the world that is not selfish and does not revolve around one's own interests.
All living things in the world are driven by self-interest.
Only when one is self-interested to the point of self-preservation can one have the ability and energy to create technological endeavors and spaces that benefit other living beings.
This is the inevitable journey for pioneers and trailblazers.
Zheng Ya's lonely heart had nowhere to rest, and he unintentionally analyzed his life experiences with Daiyu, which led to Daiyu's rebirth and her understanding of Zheng Ya's feelings.
This made Zheng Ya force a smile: "Don't try to comfort me, it's my own fault."
I've always just skimmed the surface, never truly living life to the fullest.
He is careless and sloppy in his dealings with others, living like an ignorant child, and relying on his special abilities to act recklessly.
Although I haven't harmed the weak and have only killed evil people, I've neglected the essence of humanity. It's like living in a dream, unable to find a place for my soul to belong—how ridiculous!
You're overthinking it!
"I suggest you use the newly developed Void Concealment Spirit Technique to travel around the world and see what's going on. You can also resolve some troublesome people and matters along the way. Your mood might improve!" Daiyu accompanied him, knowing that he had only perfected the Void Concealment Spirit Technique's runes two days ago.
Based on Zheng Ya's oral account, and relying entirely on his personal understanding, and referencing Xie Baochai's golden hairpin talisman, he developed his own supernatural spiritual ability, the Void Concealment.
Zheng Ya was originally capable of consuming spiritual energy and, with the acceleration of time-related abilities, fully developing the Four Harmony Pavilion's extraordinary treasures, developing the Void Concealment Spirit Technique in a very short time.
However, Zheng Ya believed that developing supernatural abilities and spiritual arts required relying on one's own comprehension and developing them step by step to truly master the essential characteristics of spiritual arts, use them freely, and achieve great success.
Living life with heart, Zheng Ya achieved this by developing the Void Concealment Spirit Technique, and in the darkness, he found a lost soul. Faced with Daiyu's suggestion, Zheng Ya shook his head and rejected it: "No, Wu Wei, Xie Ming and Sheng Xiang all come from powerful forces."
I avoid provoking them and strive to prevent them from becoming my enemies.
Don't even think about persuading me to deal with them and end the war; that's unrealistic!
"Are you escaping reality?"
"Moreover, you have developed the Void Concealment Technique, which gives you the ability to remain completely undetected. You could then eliminate those three culprits, save more people, and end this chaotic world. Why do you choose to avoid it?" Daiyu asked, puzzled.
