The two mysterious men asked, “Why not?"
James replied firmly, "I made the decision, so why should I regret it?"
The two men looked at each other after hearing his answer.
The white-robed man frowned and said, "Lesia's your second body, and her mission is to help you with her life. It's her destiny,
so why did you try to change it?"
James said slowly, "She has a soul and consciousness. I've spent time with her, and she provided me with a lot of help. We
practically share a life. If I had to sacrifice her to obtain a treasure, reaching the Daeclon Rank is pointless."
The white-robed man looked at the black-robed man with a surprised expression.
The black-robed man stared at James and said, "If you reach the Daeclon Rank, you can control anyone. You'll have all the
power in your hands and can make the rules. Everyone else will be ants under your feet.
James looked at them smilingly, "You two were reciting some poetic stuff just now. Then, how about I give it a go?"
"The heavens are fair and just. It treats no man better than the other.
The two men were surprised by his answer, and their gaze immediately became sharp.
James took a deep breath and said, "If the one who reigns above can't uphold equality and did as pleased, then what's the point
of the Daeclon Rank's existence?"
The two men fell silently.
James looked at them and said smilingly, "Along my cultivation journey, I've gained some insight. I sometimes ask myself, why
do I cultivate?
"Is it to achieve immortality? Is it to fulfill my ambitions or acquire great boons? Or is it so that I can reach great heights in my
cultivation rank?
"Perhaps other living beings have their reasons and purposes for cultivating. However, in my opinion, those who practice with a
motive can't aspire to reach the highest levels of cultivation. Even if they were to reach the top, it would be a catastrophe for the
other living beings."
The black-robed man looked at his friend. Then, he looked back at James, asking, "Then, what is your purpose?"
James replied smilingly, "I'm just a mortal from earth. I ended up in my current situation because I'm trying to find my wife. I was
forced to take this path and eventually arrived where I am right now.
“Being on top isn't as important as my family. As for why I cultivate, it's purely because I need to protect myself, and the enemies
preventing me from finding my wide are too strong."
After hearing his answer, the white-robed man laughed and said, "You're quite honest."
"If you were to reach the top and could make the rules, how would you do it?" The black-robed man stared at James.
James refuted his question, saying, "Why do we need rules? Every being is different and has its own destiny. I'll let nature take
its course."
The white-robed man asked, "Then how would you distinguish good and bad? Are you going to completely forsake morales?"
James asked, "If no evil exists, how can there be good? Who can truly decide what's good and what's bad?"
The two men gasped, surprised by James' words.
After a while, the creature in the white robe said sentimentally, "Do you know why Master let us go?"
The man in the black robe sighed, "As long as we have desires, we'll never reach the greatest heights in cultivation.
The white-robed man looked at James, then sighed softly, "Let's fulfill our master's wish."
After speaking, the white-robed man raised his hand, and a powerful force swept over the gray fishes in the keepnet.
At the same time, the black-robed man did the same with the black fish.
The black and gray fishes formed into a human shape in the void. The two men used their powers to form a black and gray
skeletal body.
The moment the human skeleton was completed, two majestic forces burst out.
James could feel the black force belonged to the Marciais Combat Form, whereas the gray was Historial Power.
After the skeleton was formed, it floated in the void, emitting a majestic golden light.
