The light at the end of the tunnel

Another ten years passed in a blink of an eye...

Robin now could only walk with the help of a stick, His eyes were almost closed with wrinkles, his white beard had reached his knees, he looked like he was about to die at any moment.

As he was taking his daily nap at noon, when a voice came from afar, "Dad, I'm back!" The sound of the shouting scared old Robin out of his sleep,

he looked outside the cave and cursed, "You motherfucker, why don't you just die!!"

"Hey, I know you don't really mean it hehe, I will not die before you!" Caesar said with a smile as he entered the cave and approached to sit next to Robin.

Caesar is now almost twenty years old and is at level 13, four years ago he used one of the most powerful minor laws of the fire path that Robin discovered to build the pillars of the domain above the tenth level,

And because the law was transferred to him directly from the source, he took pure information and instructions, gaining more power compared to those of the same level.

But he did not find anyone to test his new power on, so he decided to head towards the inner best zone, where there are beasts that reaches level twenty

With his new strength, in addition to the bloody battles that he fights daily there, Caesar has gained a heavy murderous aura. He has become a true fighter to be reckoned with. The complete opposite of his father, who has remained all his life in the outer region, refusing to enter so that the constant disturbance does not affect his research.

caesar is now used to his own lifestyle, he would head to the inner beast zone, stays there for about a month before he returns with a few hides and valuable plants, then comes to see if his father needs something, before going to sell what he has and buy new scrolls and the rest of his necessities

"cough cough... off my face you bastard and let me finish my nap! I have a lot more research to do when I wake up." Robin said while pulling the blanket to cover himself again

- "Research again? Dad, you are an unparalleled genius, you can step to level 11 at any time and extend your life.. Why do you insist on being stubborn?! Living is more important than anything!" Caesar was upset when he heard what was said...

this is not the first time this kind of conversation has taken place, every year that passes increases his father's disability and brings him one step closer to his grave

Robin was silent for a few minutes until Caesar thought he had fallen asleep, then he heard "Living..maybe the most important thing to you... I have nothing to live for... I have no passion but the path of truth that I spent my life on. If I don't master it, then I will just die."

"Live for me! You are my only family, isn't that enough of a reason for you?" Caesar jumped up and cried, weeping.

"scram! You're not even my real son" Robin grabbed a book and threw it at Caesar

"damn you! I know you didn't give birth to me but you're still my dad, you won't take this from me!" Caesar said while letting the book hit his forehead

"...You have already grown up, I gave you all my experience and I will leave you this treasure of scrolls, if you sell them properly you will have enough money and lands to declare your own kingdom! Isn't that enough? Find a good girl and marry her.. establish your own family... forget about this old man" Robin said with a weak voice.

"...all this won't make up for you," said Caesar as he went to put the book back in its place next to Robin then came out of the cave.

After about ten minutes of silence inside the cave..."Tsk~ Boys these days are feminine!" But it was clear that the owner of the voice was crying.

Robin did not know if he was crying over his life that he spent on things that would benefit others... or over his only son, who was not his own, but is still pained when thinking that he's about to leave him...

After another 4 years...

Robin is now 144 years old and can no longer stand without Caesar's assistance.

Caesar decided to stop his travels to the inner Beast zone to spend with his father the remaining of his life... it was a simple and warm life, Caesar takes care of the necessities while Robin concentrates on meditating on his little bed and writing notes. every now and then he passes a few new tips to Caesar about the laws which increase his fighting and surviving abilities.

Although Caesar is now much stronger than his father, he still listens carefully and applies every word.. and indeed every piece of advice hit its goal and raise his ability to a completely different level.

But this was increasing Caesar's resentment at his father's decision... After he began to go out to explore, he knew more about the laws and paths and how difficult it was to discover them. He knew what his father was doing in his small cave and knew what this meant for the whole world.

Robin discovered hundreds of minor laws and recorded truths them and the keys to complete its' cultivation techniques, although he did not fully master them, his mere recordings would reduce the time it would take for those after him to master the laws...

Robin's records can be mastered and complete the method of cultivation in less than 4 years if any average sage worked on them!

Caesar looked deeply at his father, who was explaining a new law to him, with eyes shining with tears... Such a genius should stay alive. His death is a crime against the whole world.

Two years later...

Robin is sitting on his bed, as usual, contemplating the creation around him when he felt his heartbeat had stopped...

'...oh, looks like my time has come, so that's what death feels like' Robin thought as the interruption of blood flow began to affect the speed of his thinking.

' hehe... I have revealed the truths of hundreds of laws throughout my life... I have mastered dozens of them and taken glimpses of many known major laws... If I had studied one of those, I would have mastered it by now... But all of this was not enough to completely reveal the path of truth? What a damn path I have chosen..'

*..that feeling... oh..maybe I should call Caesar.. to tell him that death is also... a heavenly path.*

Boooooooom

Suddenly everything around Robin seemed to stop and a strong light flashed at the end of his bed.
