"I feel like there's a problem with your concept of love, Emperor Ziwei. As for whether or not you're worthy, all that matters is love …" An Lin couldn't help but speak up.
Emperor Ziwei shook his head upon hearing this. "Different statuses, different aptitudes, and different depths of the Dao will create an invisible generation gap between two people.
"My aptitude is exceptional. I reached the Dao Body Stage at three, Spirit Nurturing Stage at sixteen, Soul Formation Stage at twenty, Return to Void Stage at fifty, and I reached the Dao Integration Stage a thousand years later …
"When discussing the Dao among my peers, they won't be able to understand what I'm saying. I find what they're saying childish. There's no way they'll be able to hang out with us … As one's cultivation realm increases, their circle will change as well. I'm becoming more powerful very quickly, and the people around me are constantly changing, but who can stay with me forever?
"I'm simply too outstanding. All of the female cultivators around me either stay away from me or approach me with ulterior motives. How can there be true love?"
Emperor Ziwei's expression was filled with a hint of loneliness and melancholy.
An Lin: "…"
"My situation is even worse after I reach the Dao Integration Stage. My lifespan is close to limitless. What if my dao partner doesn't reach the Dao Integration Stage? If I like her and want to be with her, then I'll have to watch her die in the future. How painful would that be?
"The Heavenly Dao is unfair. Without the aptitude, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to reach the Dao Integration Stage … As such, my ideal dao partner can only be found among the Dao Integration Stage.
"Based on my calculations, all Dao Integration Stage cultivators in the human race are men … However, I'm a straight man, and I'm a staunch opponent of interspecies relationships!" Emperor Ziwei spoke with a serious expression.
An Lin's expression darkened. "So that's why you're still single?"
Emperor Ziwei clasped his hands behind his back, and his aura of a lone wolf erupted again. "You're still young, so it's normal for you to have some naive thoughts. When you experience more things, you'll be able to understand how I feel. "
"No, I already know why you're still single," An Lin spoke with a serious expression. "Emperor Ziwei, you're single because you're too outstanding!"
Emperor Ziwei faltered slightly before his expression softened, as if he had found a soulmate. "Mr. An Lin … You've summed it up so well!"
An Lin smiled in agreement on the surface, but he was sneering in his heart.
This kind of idiot deserved to be single for life!
"However, it's not like there's no hope for me. Chang 'e of the Moon Palace is already close to the Dao Integration Stage. If I can fall in love with her and have a pure and beautiful story with her, perhaps I'll be able to end my single life …" An expectant expression appeared on Emperor Ziwei's face.
"Then I wish Senior Ziwei all the best." An Lin smiled.
Although he had a smile on his face, his heart was filled with sympathy.
Emperor Ziwei, you're a straight man, but Chang 'e is a lesbian!
This was the greatest tragedy in the world …
Unless you turn yourself gay, you can stay single for the rest of your life!
An Lin felt like this Emperor Ziwei was far too interesting. Why hadn't he discovered that his views on love were so strange? It was all thanks to Zi Ling that he was able to set foot in Emperor Ziwei's world of love!
"There's actually something else that's holding me back from finding a partner," Emperor Ziwei continued.
An Lin didn't want to hear this anymore, but thinking about how Emperor Ziwei had been single for so many years, he forced himself to play along. "Oh, what is it?"
"Did you know that if there's too much of a disparity in cultivation base, you won't even be able to have a child?" Emperor Ziwei continued, "This is another reason why I've always been single."
"Hah?" An Lin was truly astonished this time.
"It's common knowledge that it's extremely difficult for powerful cultivators to have children. This is because the sperm and eggs of powerful cultivators are imbued with extremely powerful energy. They will clash with one another, but it's extremely difficult for them to fuse together," Emperor Ziwei explained.
An Lin nodded. In the cultivation world, anyone who wanted to know would know about this.
"However, everyone has overlooked something, and that is, it's even more difficult for a couple to have children if there's a large disparity in cultivation base!" A distressed expression appeared on Emperor Ziwei's face. "For example, my sperm is too powerful. If I were to mate with another female cultivator, the power of my sperm would be enough to blast my eggs into smithereens! That's right, eggs that are too weak are unable to withstand the power of my sperm. My sperm is too powerful and too exceptional! "
An Lin: "…"
He felt like ten thousand mythological beasts were stampeding over his heart upon hearing Emperor Ziwei's words. He wanted to retort, but he didn't know what to say.
Emperor Ziwei continued, "And vice versa. It's not good for the female to be too powerful. If the female's cultivation base is too high, the male's sperm won't even be able to break through the outer wall of the female's egg!"
He cast a meaningful glance at An Lin as he spoke.
An Lin almost threw up a mouthful of blood. He was about to lash out at Emperor Ziwei. "Why the f * ck are you looking at me like that?"
Emperor Ziwei didn't get angry. Instead, he patted An Lin's shoulder with a benevolent expression. "Good luck!"
An Lin: "…"
"Good luck, Big Brother An Lin! Work hard in your cultivation and try to break through the outer wall of your lover's egg as soon as possible!" A crisp and tender voice suddenly sounded.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
An Lin stared at the adorable little girl holding the ancient sword in her arms, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
An expression of shock and horror appeared on Emperor Ziwei's face as he gripped Zi Ling's shoulders and shook her violently. "Forget about it! Hurry up and forget everything I said! This isn't something a child of your age should know! Hurry up and forget about it! "
Emperor Ziwei was about to go insane from fear.
He had been so engrossed in his rambling that he had forgotten that his adopted daughter had been silently listening to him this entire time …
An Lin had also forgotten about it, so he was completely dumbstruck when he heard Zi Ling's words.
"Why would I forget about it? I think what Father said makes a lot of sense … It's a lot of inspiration for me … "Zi Ling replied in a crisp voice.
For someone as narcissistic as Emperor Ziwei, how could the child he valued be ordinary?
Zi Ling could be said to be an extremely intelligent child with exceptional aptitude. Not only could she understand Emperor Ziwei's words, but she could also infer many things from his words, such as An Lin's predicament …
At this moment, the little girl was looking at An Lin with a sympathetic gaze.
What a damned sympathetic gaze!!!
An Lin didn't think that he would be pitied by a little girl, and in that way at that … There was no doubt that he and Emperor Ziwei had also joined the party to make Zi Ling forget about him …
…
It was already evening when An Lin left the Ziwei Pavilion.
An Lin and Emperor Ziwei exchanged their views on love and decisively used Emperor Ziwei as a negative example to constantly remind himself. However, he wasn't without worries.
For example, the theory that the difference in cultivation base would affect the reproductive barrier that Emperor Ziwei had mentioned …
This greatly stimulated An Lin's desire to improve his cultivation base. A man … definitely couldn't fail in this kind of thing!
"Xiao Lan, wait for me, I'll definitely catch up to you!"
An Lin's fighting spirit was reignited, and he set off on his journey again!
