What does 'not decline to shoulder a responsibility' mean?
Believing that one was going to become the most powerful one while sparing no effort on trying to do so... Taking all available resources, learning as many secret magic and skills as one could, ceaselessly widening his scope of knowledge and strengthening his power, making himself the most powerful one, through all possible methods.
Just like how Ji Hao had thought and done in his previous life.
At sunrise, Ji Hao was sitting on the mountaintop of one of the floating entrance mountains of the Magi Palace and was quietly looking at the newly rising sun, while drinking a pot of Ten-thousand Spirit Soup, which had been cooked by Wulong Yao himself. After drinking, he faced the sun and breathed in thirty-thousand and six-hundred pure wisps of purple smoke, purifying his soul and body with the essence of the sun's power.
