My Wife

"you will never know how to create if all you know is destruction... and even with destruction you know little." Han Bei walked up to Ling Han, who was lost in his world, trying to comprehend why his power to create was so damn weak, power differences were just too large. infinitely large. with the improvement to his Dao and strength, he was sure he had perfectly guessed his current strength while taking into account the fact he was no longer in that unique state

"what do you mean?" I asked with a frown while turning to look towards her, Han Bei looked at my bloody battle for a moment before speaking.

"You can't comprehend the beauty of creations, you're selfish... I'm willing to believe you held something close, but you and that thing broke apart thanks to your overwhelming strength. you see yourself as someone getting begging above everything else, yet you still have the mindset of things you should be above. you hold nothing dear to yourself, so how could you ever truly understand how to destroy and create? you are... weak." She said calmly, making me frown slightly. 

"A strong man can stand up for himself, a stronger man can stand up for others... before we entered back into the primal lands, I had looked into heaven's secrets to see just who you were. there was a saying you said, in this world you're the supreme evil, supreme good, and supreme neutral. but thats just a lie." She said making my frown grow bigger.

"all you have ever done was be evil, and be neutral. every good act was done for a reason, never out of the kindness of your heart. you did it as you repaying others, and telling yourself you were kind as you overpaid. you're not even truly neutral, you're just too cocky to lower yourself to things you see as below you. all you are is a human with great strength, a human who sees himself as above everything, yet for some reason everything he is above can't remove that sense of loneliness but can bring him rage, pain, and envy. that doesn't sound like a higher being to me." She said softly,

"all that is a cocky human, you have the mindset of a human, and the heart of a human. your Dao's heart has stopped progressing, making more than 99% of all lifeforms have a better mindset than you. yes, you're better than others, but so what? what makes you better than those mortals who are rich, and just watch the world suffer so long as they benefit? What makes you better than those power-hungry experts who would see the world born so long as they benefit?" She asked to which I couldn't help but smile while rubbing my chin.

She was right. it seemed like my power blinded me to the fact that I was flawed. maybe deep down a part of me knew this, which was bad as it would end up slowing my progress in forming my Dao heart and my Dao. to be able to destroy and create, one must know the value of such a concept. I created a whole world, yet within my inner world I saw all of the lifeforms within as power sources, I didn't value other lives, seeing mine as the most important one.

this was because I transmigrated, need down I felt like I was the MC, a unique MC who had created his power, unlike other MCs who are chosen by their cheats or just given to them... I was special. that is if I ignored that I killed myself, and was saved by my power which I didn't even fully understand.

I was flawed, I was imperfect, and it was this realization that led my Dao's heart to take another step forward in its creation. but deep down, there was a part of me that rejected that I could be flawed, a part of me that believed that I would reach the peak no matter what, all I needed was time... but can't anyone else? give a person enough time and the right opportunity, and they too can reach their peak. was I foolishly thinking that I would never need opportunities or something?

"A strong man stands up for himself, but a stronger man stands up for others..." I said with a smile, I fell into deep thought for some time before making a plan for the future.

1, I will make a copy of myself to go around comprehending all other laws in the lower realms,

2, I will create a lower realm within my inner world, with my current strength, I should be able to create it. at which point, I will have one look go on to do extreme evil, and another one to do extreme good. in the end, I will comprehend both copies.

3, I will self-reflect. cultivation needed a nearly perfect understanding of themselves, this was the problem with me progressing too quickly, I didn't face many changes which forced me to understand just who Ling Han was

4. I will have copies of myself reincarnate in my inner world, with me able to have billions of years go by in a second, I could easily have them all go through all the changes they needed to go through in life. in other words, I shall torture the hell out of myself. I should suffer all worldly suffering, and experience all good the world can offer. in the end, I will fuse with both

So, got to work. I looked at Han Bei for a  moment before disappearing. honestly, steps 2, 3, and 4 were the easiest. I simply needed to speed up time in my inner world and create another dimension to quickly have the benefit appear.

for the first one, it was harder, but having copies comprehend countless laws using treasures they could create sped things up, and in a matter of months, I managed to master every law under the heavens. I knew the basics of every law, after all, I was using them all as the foundation of my Dao birth. but I was taking it a step forward, mastering so many laws to the peak, and even mastering space, time, spacetime, destruction, creations, life, and death all to perfection.

All of this, allowed me to get just a clear picture of how flawed I was. now knowing just how flawed I was, I began to work on making myself the best me I could ever make. so I got to work, and with it taking place in my inner world, it was extremely fast since again, I could just speed up time. in total after the tribulation and my disappearing, only 6 months  passed, and 99% of that time was me just comprehending the laws

6 months for me to fully complete my Dao's heart, and with it being complete, my Dao took a step forward, entering the level 1 Dao development stage, giving me strength at mid-true Immortal. which was perfect, with this improvement to my Dao, it was much easier for me to create things, my Dao was far weaker than my cultivation at the moment, but it was a huge improvement that meant an overall improvement to my strength.

leaving a copy of myself in my inner world to work on training, I disappeared, appearing next to Han Bei who had been waiting for me. and seeing my return, her eyebrow raised seeing the transformation I went through. I remained the same, sure I was far more handsome, and gave off this aura as if I was not of this world, but thats not what caused her to raise her eyebrow.

the lonely feeling she got from me had disappeared, I had gotten off my high horse and got onto a dragon, and I didn't become more humble or anything. instead, I became so arrogant that I didn't care. I was the best, planned and simple. but it didn't mean I could play in the mud or something. Instead of dreaming for an equal, which was impossible, let's just sit back and enjoy ourselves.

"You're sharp..." I said with a smile, Han bei was capable of reading people. honestly, she had read me like a book. One might think it was foolish when she stepped forward and said I was weak to my face, but she knew better than anyone else that I was not the type of person to lash out. I was too prideful to do such things.

Han Bei was quiet, she wanted to make Ling Han humble, instead of using his strength for himself, he should try and do it for others who were not as lucky as him. but she failed, why would she think she failed? because the current Ling Han could be careless. the current Ling Han was a god who came to the mortal realm to have fun, taking nothing seriously unless he wanted to. 

"... I will not give up." She said calmly, to which I shrugged with a calm smile. Looking at the sky, I smirked.

"The strong stand up for themselves, and someone stronger stands up for others. interesting words... which I could believe in. I fully believe you're stronger than me, I don't have the power to be so righteous. but what I do have the power to do is go get my wife. She waited long enough." I said with a smile, making Han Bei's eyebrows rise, was Ling Han not avoiding Lue Qing?
