Wang Wei looked at the bound Li Jun; he saw the calmness, helplessness, and determination in the latter's eyes. In this short period, he used his [Future Buddha Self] to see thousands of futures and did countless simulations, and the result was the same.
Furthermore, with each passing second, the amount of opportunities he had was diminishing. Di Tian's power was too close to his own, and the latter was on the highest alert.
More importantly, he was determined to make Wang Wei suffer, affecting him psychologically, giving him an edge in this battle.
"I'm waiting," said Di Tian. "And I'm not very patient." He would not give a Dao Overlord enough time in such a dangerous situation. So, as soon as he senses something wrong, Li Jun will die.
Di Tian has even prepared for the unlikely scenario that his mind is frozen or affected in any way possible. If that happens, the runes he placed on Li Jun will automatically activate, killing him.
Wang Wei did not answer him. Instead, he closed his eyes, lost in his memories.
"So, you're going to be a father," said Wang Wei as he lay on a roof, handing a jar of wine to Li Jun.
"You've said these words many times in the past few days."
"I never thought of you as the father type of person. I thought you would continue womanizing until Liling had enough of you and killed you."
"Hahaha, I'm wiser than that." He was not stupid, so he knew long ago that his wife was unhappy with his very fulfilling life. So, he stopped accepting new beauties into his harem and even distanced himself from the others.
Although he did not ignore them since that would be irresponsible, it's true that he was not as close to these women as he used to be.
"Have you thought about your future children?" asked Li Jun, passing the wine gourd.
"I have," nodded Wang Wei.
"Have you decided on when you're having them?"
"Not for a very long time," replied Wang Wei, gazing at the stars. "My path to pursue absolute freedom will be long and arduous. Honestly, I think a family will be a great fetter."
"That's a very bleak way to look at it," said Li Jun, shaking his head.
"It's a realistic way to look at it," countered Wang Wei, sipping the wine. However, he suddenly felt it was inappropriate for the current occasion, so he took another one from his space ring.
The new wine was more mellow, perfect for the current situation of thinking about the future.
"I remember when I first received the news," said Li Jun, who rejected Wang Wei's new wine; he did not like it. So, he took his own to drink; he chose one that was more optimistic, sweet, and bright.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "Although I have not held the little guy in my hand, I know at that moment that I would move Heaven and Earth for them. I would pick the moon and stars to please that child.
"So, no matter how far I walk in this cultivation journey, I would never see him as a burden or fettered. On the contrary, he will become the source of my strength, the reason I keep moving forward."
"Do you think I would not do the same for my children?" added Wang Wei. "One of the reasons I want to wait until later to have children is so that they can inherit all my talents and powers, preventing them from suffering as much as I have in their cultivation journey.
"I want to be able to cover Heaven and Earth for them so that no matter what they do, what kind of trouble they get themselves in, they know their father can help them.
"My cultivation journey will be fraught with struggle, killing, scheming, darkness, pain, ups and downs, and danger. But I want their journey to be a fun adventure full of wonderful memories, joy, and no regret."
Li Jun nodded as he agreed with these words. Most parents with high cultivation will want such a thing for their children. Unfortunately, few can reach the realm where they can actually do it.
There can even be an argument that no one has ever succeeded. After all, even Paragons cannot guarantee that nothing will happen to their offspring.
"I'm sensing a but?" asked Li Jun.
"What if my enemy kidnaps my family to blackmail me?" continued Wang Wei. "I chose Wu Hong as my companion because such a thing has a very low probability of happening.
"Well, in my current state, I'm probably the liable one."
Li Jun laughed after hearing this. He sighed, "So, what would you do in that scenario?"
"Of course, I will try everything to save my children."
"You know that's not what I meant," said Li Jun, also looking at the stars. "If your enemy made you choose between your family and your pursuit of absolute freedom, which would you choose?"
Wang Wei did not immediately answer, his eyes gazing at the brilliant stars. His eyes were calm and peaceful, without a hint of hesitation and confusion.
"Nothing can stop me from becoming free," he replied in a tranquil voice.
"Oh, that's harsh," said Li Jun.
"The way I see it, when I achieve absolute freedom, reality will be at my whim to bend as I please. So, I can see my family again, making up for the pain and regret of losing them," said Wang Wei calmly, not stopping his drinking.
"And if I fail, I will reunite with them in the afterlife. By then, I can ask for their forgiveness; I'm fine with whether I receive it or not. Anyway, all actions have consequences, and I'm prepared to pay whatever the price for my choices."
"How does sister-in-law feel about this? Does she know?"
"I think she's on the same page as me. You saw what she did to you during my trial."
LI Jun shook his head and decided not to bring this topic up. He sighed before saying: "I admire your will to pursue the Dao. However, I disagree with your choice. I could never choose my family and loved ones over anything."
"There is nothing to admire," replied Wang Wei. "I'm just selfish."
"Maybe only people like you can truly pursue the end of Grand Dao," said Li Jun, deciding to change the topic.
Wang Wei opened his eyes as peaceful and calm as an uninfluenced lake. However, the determination on his face was easily noticeable, making Di Tian sneer.
"I knew it," said Di Tian, the mockery on his face quite evident. However, he soon noticed something and looked at Li Jun, who was smiling. His red eyes looked at his big brother, and there were no negative emotions. Instead, they seemed to be reassuring and encouraging.
Then, a monstrous killing intent emanated from his body before his eyes closed, and his body's vitality rapidly dissipated.
"Killing yourself to prevent him from making a choice? You're really trash. He abandoned you, but you're still willing to go to this extent," said Di Tian with cold eyes. Then, he activated his runes and ensured Li Jun's soul was utterly annihilated and did not enter Samsara, rendering his possible revival a thousand times more difficult.
Wang Wei calmly looked at everything that happened; his eyes, aura, or mood did not fluctuate in the slightest. It appeared almost as if he was a cold and emotionless machine, and the person who had just died was a stranger instead of his childhood brother, who grew up together and almost wore the same pants when they were children.
"What's the point of doing this?" asked Wang Wei; his calmness made the entire Yin Dimension eerily quiet.
"Do you want to affect my mind? Or, maybe your mind was twisted because someone close to you betrayed you, so you tried to destroy our bond? Or did you want to show the world I was like you, willing to do anything for victory? Could that fact bring some sort of catharsis?
"Tell me, what was the point?"
Di Tian looked at him coldly and did not answer. The truth behind his actions did not matter. All that mattered was that his plan was successful. All that mattered is he avenged his Sleepers, making Wang Wei feel the pain of losing something he cherished dearly.
"Good, good, good," repeated Wang Wei. With each word, he became colder, and his killing intent became uncontrollable.
"Remember what I said?" he continued. "Today, you will feel my wrath; you will know what it's like when I'm unhinged and when I no longer place any moral or psychological restraint on myself.
"I guarantee you that today will be the most memorable day in your entire existence."
Crack!
The sound of something breaking reverberated in this Yin Dimension. Wang Wei had already sent a message to Yan Liling, Tie Gang, and Wang Ju to leave the Yang Dimension and forfeit this battle.
Now, without any fetters, he will show the world how crazy he can truly be.
