305 Adrian (Part 3)
Was the Heavenly Dao merciful or kind?
Adrian could not understand the question, nor could he come up with a logical response.
Yuchi laughed.
“See, the Heavenly Dao is something we can’t understand objectively or subjectively at all. We simply don’t know enough about it in the first place..”
“Think about it. If you were the Heavenly Dao, what kind of world would you create? Would you emphasize good, or evil?”
“How would you judge either spectrum? Based on your own understanding?”
“Under such circumstances, would you be called the Heavenly Dao, or the Adrian Dao?”
Yuchi’s view was simple.
The Heavenly Dao was not a person. At best, it was a system or mechanism created for some sort of reason.
There was no need to assign emotions, personality or even sentience to it.
It was just what it was, and it did what it was created to do.
Regardless of what anyone did, the Heavenly Dao was the Heavenly Dao, and it had never changed.
Yuchi laughed, and then paused.
“In my opinion, the Heavenly Dao is, in essence, a Dao of heartlessness.”
“To us, heartlessness might be viewed as a negative trait, but to something that presides over the world, it is a necessary evil that ensures fairness.”
“It allows the Heavenly Dao to simply see everything as equal and use all of it uncaringly to serve its ultimate objective or goal, whatever that may be.”
A simple analogy would be that of fish in the pond.
On the upside, the fish had to be grateful for the pond’s nurturing.
On the downside, the pond limited how far the fish could travel.
As for whether it was good or bad, no one knew.
…
Adrian’s master was very nervous. He had no idea what he should do now, and was simply pacing around his room anxiously.
“I wonder how my disciple is doing? He’s already met that person, and the jinx is with him too.”
“Is that person a first-grade Dao essence realm cultivator too? Or is he even stronger?”
The old man knew that worrying would not change anything, but he could not help himself, as Adrian’s fate would decide the future of their race, and his own future as well.
“My disciple has already somewhat comprehended his Dao heart. He can already use some of Do heart realm techniques covered by the Dao heart realm, so there should be a chance, I hope, even if his opponent is a guardian.”
What unsettled him was the fact that Yuchi had dared to come to Sky City alone. It was like taking a stroll in the park. Clearly this meant that he was confident in his own strength.
“My disciple, I hope you’ll be able to make the right choice. Don’t throw away what you have for something unattainable.”
The old man hoped that, if the fight happened, Yuchi would spare his disciple’s life..

…
In the room, Adrian suddenly said, “I’ve been thinking too much. I should just do whatever my heart tells me to do.”
He looked at Yuchi with a rather respectful gaze.
Yuchi smiled.
“This is why I dislike talking with others. It’s not like my words will dissuade you anyway.”
Everyone in this room knew what was going to happen. All this talking was simply the prelude to the inevitable.
Therefore, discussing this matter was just for fun. There was no unnecessary meaning.
Everyone’s perspective was different.
No one could convince the other.
There was no point in saying more.
Seeing that Adrian was silent, Yuchi stood up. “It’s about time. The easiest way to convince someone is through a fight.”
“If you want Hanjiang, you’ll have to fight anyway.”
Yuchi’s words gave Hanjiang a strong sense of security.
She did not know what they were talking about, but from her point of view, what was the point of talking so much?
The world of adults…
Mmm.
It was truly a mystery.
Still, her master was as reliable as ever!
