Yang Dao heard his words and was surprised. Then he asked, "Old sir, the time has not yet finished. Are you sure you wish to follow me? My path is not an easy one to follow."
The old man raised his head to look the young man in the eyes and said, "We have been living easily in our bubbles. What has that brought us? The decline of our children? If our pain can ease their future then it is a price we are willing to pay. We all pay for our deeds. It was us who made this wall of glass, and it should be us as well, who walk over the broken shards to bring our children to a bright future.
When I was in the army, we had a motto. A soldier must march to the glory of his country. Similarly, an elder should march to the future of his descendants. Please, guide us, Lord."
Yang Dao could not help but mumble the phrase spoken by the old man just now. He smiled and held the old man's shoulder with a smile and said, "Together we lead each other, sir. I am not omnipotent and I am prone to make mistakes. Thus, as an elder, I hope you bless me with your guidance and point the way if I lose my sight on the way."
His humble attitude was not to lower himself but to ignite the spark of co-dependence among the people. To make them realize that the King of flames was also a human, like them. After that Yang Dao chatted with the people surrounding them for a long time before he went back to the palace.
Feng Yun said as soon as they were inside the flame palace, "What do you have in mind now, Dao?"
Yang Dao replied to her, "Every creature was bestowed with their own free will. I am no one to force them. I will ask those, who agree with me to follow me, as for the rest, they can live here in their home town. They can follow the rules that have been introduced for the betterment of society. Their future may not be bright but it will not be the one without possibilities. Isn't that they all need, possibilities?"
Feng Yun nodded and followed him back to the palace. Yang Dao entered his room to meditate and consolidate the things he learned from dueling with Feng Yun. This information will be useful for him in the coming duel. He was not going to let his guard down.
He was unaware of the process to manipulate the water element at the moment but he has been meditating a lot these days to accumulate the Dao resonance on him. So, that he can use it to deal with the Lord of the Water region. With these thoughts in his mind, the boy meditated.
He had also come to gain an understanding of creation and destruction. He had found that to create something/anything, you need to destroy something. The vice versa is also applicable. You can only destroy something that existed. What existed was created by someone.
Yang Dao found it very funny how he could understand this thing with such ease. The people he will be facing in the future will not be easy opponents but he will deal with them. He will break their hegemony and then he will create a society with equal standings. This sensation made his heart beat fast.
The night passed away very quickly and Yang Dao walked out to stand on the balcony of the palace in wait for the people to come over as they expressed their opinions about the migration he had planned. He watched as the crowd slowly gathered in front of the palace, with a large number of people carrying their bags.
Yang Dao gave them a nod and asked, "What have you decided, ladies and gentlemen?"
The crowd replied with one voice, "We wish to follow you, Lord."
Yang Dao smiled, he tried to check the resolve the people had, "What will you do if I led you to a dead end?"
The crowd was confused but then a lady spoke, "We are already at a dead-end, Lord. We will find a way if we stay together with you."
The rest of the people cheered up after they heard this. Yang Dao nodded, as he said, "Very well then, pack your stuff, we move in two days. Also, bring the tents along. Okay?"
"OKAY." the crowd clamored.
Yang Dao sent them off with a big smile on his face. He came back inside to find Feng Yun sitting at the table while she scribbled along with a paper. The boy came to stand behind her and when he saw what she was doing, he nodded repeatedly. She was the biggest biz queen of the mortal world. The paper was filled with laws and orders maintained by the people.
It was not limited to those of the fire region but all the other regions as well. Yang Dao could see that it needed a lot of wisdom to make such a draft. He asked, "Sister Yun, are you sure that the eldest is the wisest of you all and not you?"
Feng Yun did not stop her work but replied with a smile, "The eldest has innate wisdom while the rest of use accumulated of the eons. The reason why I can use this wisdom today is because of what I have experienced through the ages and that I am aware of the temperament of the people in the different regions. I can sense them because I am the lord of this place.
You can also sense them but you are just like the Dao. You do not wish to influence people much thus you do not take the initiative to go out and look for these people. Am I wrong?"
Yang Dao nodded and said, "We will leave this place two days later, and arrive at the eternal battlefield. What do you think?"
Feng Yun nodded and before the boy could ask her anything else, she said, "Go get moving, I need to get this done before the move, Dao. Also, you need to go and prepare, the accumulation is not yet enough."
Yang Dao sighed and said, "Okay."
That said, the dao child entered seclusion for a period of two days. The time passed away in a blink. Yang Dao was sitting inside his room when Feng Yun came over. There were no barriers around him so he could sense the movement around him. As the young man opened his eyes. He found Feng Yun looking at him with a smile as the lady said, "Master, it is the time to march."
Yang Dao stood up and after stretching his body he walked out of the room.
