Kent knelt before the radiant figure of the Goddess of Life, his voice heavy with emotion. "Thank you… thank you so much. You've brought her back. You've lifted a weight I thought I'd carry forever. Please, ask me anything. Tell me—what can I do for you?"
The goddess's gentle smile softened the air around them, her golden light pulsating faintly. "As I said before, stop acting purely on emotions. Consider this a favor—a favor you may repay in the future. But," her expression turned serious, her eyes piercing through his, "if you can't change your cultivation path, you won't be able to help me when the time comes."
Kent furrowed his brows, confusion written across his face. "What do you mean? What's wrong with my path? Tell me, and I'll change it, no matter how difficult it may be. Even if it's filled with thorns, I won't hesitate to cross it."
