Cause and Effect

"If you hadn't talked, I would have thought that we might die, but now I am pretty sure I won't die by walking along this Way of Life and Death," Han Sen spoke with certainty.

"Young man, talk is cheap. If you are as certain as you say you are, then come and tread the path for yourself." The old woman looked at him with disdain.

"Sure." Han Sen, after saying it, immediately took his first steps along the Way of Life and Death.

Han Sen was not there to prove the old woman wrong, and neither was he there to provide comfort and aid to Bai Wei. All he wanted to do was feel the powers that permeated the Way of Life and Death. A power like that was rare to witness, even for those that were deified. So, there would not be many opportunities for him to experience the feelings of such a power. Han Sen wanted to feel what it was like to feel that which plagued the Way of Life and Death.
