Chapter 4

In this world or any other, you have only yourself. You have money? Everyone will flock around you, will try to please you. You are from a rich household? From childhood till adulthood there won't be any lack of bootlickers around you.

When you have nothing, not a single soul will reach forward for you. They will think " What will i get from helping him?" You have nothing to give something tangible and beneficial. Only real benefits could move them.

Even if you die out of hunger, they won't take a second look at you.

Years of loneliness, pain and sufferings becomes your best friend. Only you know how you struggled those darkest of hours, only you know how you moved forward inch by inch, those ears of yours heard those pitiful screams of agony.

You cried till yours eyes became dry, you screamed until your voice became hoarse, you expressed yourself to the point where you were deemed as shameless just to be accepted until you couldn't even utter a word anymore. You were damaged to the point of breaking down but somehow managed to struggle; you were alive but not one of the living.

You desperately wanted peace, searching for a little warmth here and there but where could you find it in this selfish and cruel world.

You thought of one way-Death, you thought death could grant you peace. But you my dear it was never an option.

You died but found yourself in a world that is thousand times more cruel than your own. This time you saw hope for living, a reason to continue, you found ambition to step forward relentlessly.

Grasping the apex of strength in your hands you could dominate the world. Power which could make you an emperor among emperors, god among gods, legend among legends.

You realise, here, you can change your fate with your own two hands.

Smirking slightly at the new found reality, you swore not to live in shame anymore, you vowed to live like a king. If the world is cruel then i will be even more cruel and ruthless.

" In the end, my heart is still beating. Vying for supremacy, thank you for granting me the thrive in living. Blood shall paint the sky and land red until my heart find peace. "

Tian long heaved a deep sigh, his deep dark pupils looked at the starry night sky as gentle wind brushed past his face.

" They say time could erase everything, i disagree; it can't erase the burning fire in my heart no matter how many years pass by. "

Tian long sat crosslegged on his bed and shut his eyes, cultivating slowly. His breathing became one with the dao, string of dao laws intertwined around him as worldly energy was continuously being absorbed by him.
