And Yu Wang had a premonition that Azief would be able to walk this Path of Perfection.
Why?
Because he has the best luck.
And there is fate and destiny that facilitate this path.
Because Azief fate is inextricably linked with the Etherna, it is only natural that he probably would gain great progress if he walk this path
So, how could Yu Wang let this happen.
He must not let it happen even if that is only to save shelf. And at that time, he believes that Azief fate would still be the same.
The End would come and the loser would still be the loser.
There is no need to think too much. Hinder the path and save himself. His logic at that time make sense.
There is no friendship between them. And there is no connection. Though there would be enmity in the future.
Which makes it even imperative for him to hinder him.
Yes, some people wanted him to fulfil his destiny.
