Condemning the Heavens

While Xue Wei was indeed very talented, he was also unfortunate . He had experienced many things which would break any average person, but he had persevered .

While he was talented, he did not get anything easily . He had to fight for everything he had, and he always had to walk forward, or he would have been killed long ago by the men in the Chang’an Continent .

Li Zhiqing might not have been very talented, but she had been lucky . Not only had she found the lake, and later met Lan, but she had also been happy and content with life .

Xue Wei could not be together with the woman he loved, he could not slow down, or he would get defeated by all the other geniuses . The stress he was under was something that Li Zhiqing never had to experience .

In many ways, Lan was already aware that Li Zhiqing was satisfied with the life she led when they were together . She never complained, and her smile displayed her undisguised happiness .

Even if she had been immensely talented, would she really have been able to handle the stressful life? Would she have been happy?

When he began thinking like this, Lan was suddenly scared by his own thoughts and shivered .

He had always been blaming Xue Wei because of his innate talent, but thinking about it, Xue Wei had also paid a hefty price for his talent .

His mother had died while giving birth to him, his uncle had killed his father right in front of his eyes, he had been chased and persecuted everywhere he went, and in the end, he had to flee his homeland .

While one could live a peaceful life, the other always had to struggle and fight for advancement .

He had never considered it before, but as he realized the differences, he also understood that his impression of Xue Wei was faulty .

Xue Wei had never done anything wrong . All he did was forced onto him by the circumstances, and done in an attempt to survive and reach a higher ground .

He never wanted anything else than to live life peacefully with his family, but the cruel world had shattered all those dreams . What one wished for was not always what one could get .

Now that he knew that he could only live if he advanced, he had given up many things in his life, but the only thing he could not give up was his friends and family .

This point alone was enough to make Lan understand that Xue Wei was not a bad person . To be respected like this, and genuinely liked by his companions showed that his personality was not bad, and the fact that he was willing to give his life in return for theirs, also proved his loyalty .

Such a person, what right did Lan have to condemn him? He had never asked to be a talented individual, and slowly, Lan’s mind came around, and he observed Xue Wei as if it was the first time he saw him .

The young man had grown a lot from the youth he had first seen back in the genius army . He had become stronger, but his demeanor and aura were also more restrained . He was like a sharp sword that was sheathed; everyone knew how deadly it would become once drawn .

The young man was not overly arrogant, but he was not humble either . He was like a calm and collected person who knew what he wanted in life and was aware of the means of achieving it .

This realization shocked Lan . Although there was a world of difference between the levels of their strengths, Xue Wei did not lose out to him in demeanor and maturity, but Lan was not ashamed . Instead, he nodded his head approvingly .

While he no longer felt hostile towards Xue Wei, he had no interest in helping him get rid of the Monarch Piranha Flower .

So far, although he had struggled, nothing had truly posed a threat to his life, and Lan was sure that this Monarch Piranha Flower would be the turning point in Xue Wei’s life . If he could handle it, then he would be able to handle everything .

But where Lan before was watching with amusement, he was now observing with interest to see how Xue Wei was going to change his fate .

He, who had been chased by a whole continent . He, who was going against the rules of the world . He, who was not supposed to be born .

He was the only person who could proudly condemn the heavens and break the heavenly law .

He was not supposed to be a toy for Lan to achieve his goal, he was meant for much more than what Lan could even imagine, and when that thought hit the phony prophet, a smile spread on his lips .

Once upon a day, when Xue Wei had become renowned throughout the galaxies, he, a simple figure, would be able to say with pride that he had tormented such a genius when he was still growing .

Thinking like this, Lan could not help but laugh to himself, and he felt as if a heavy load had been removed from his shoulders . He no longer needed to compare others to his Li Zhiqing, he no longer felt that life was unfair . She had lived life brilliantly, although it had been short .

However, he knew that even though there was no reincarnation in this world, although he knew that the dead did not return, he was also aware that as long as Xue Wei, the exception to the rule, existed, then there was hope .
