These words were not spoken by Su Ming, but by a young man in white who was sitting by the table when the door to the room opened without a sound, and those words fell from the mouth of a young man in white who was sitting by the table.
The young man was rather handsome. He had dashing eyebrows and bright eyes. There was an air of aloofness that seemed to come from his bones, and it lingered around him. It was just like when Su Ming first met Ye Wang in the past. There was a hint of arrogance in his loneliness, and he … was still the same.
He was like a sharp sword that was about to be drawn out of its scabbard. He was in a balance between showing off his brilliance and keeping it hidden. This presence was enough to make any cultivator who saw Ye Wang to involuntarily pay attention to him and stare at him.
This was Ye Wang, the prodigy with the greatest potential in tens of thousands of years in the land of Immortals. He was also highly regarded by Morning Dao Sect, and the Sect Elder had even personally taken him in as a successor disciple.
He was the pride of the Immortals. Just like himself, he lived his entire life in pride and loneliness. He was proud because he was alone, and he was lonely because his light was too bright, and there was no one around him who could compare to him.
In Ye Wang's heart, the only thing he remembered from all his experiences in his life was the boy he saw in the land of Berserkers after he joined the plan.
That was the first time Ye Wang had fought to a draw with someone. In fact, it could even be said that he had already failed at that time. With his pride, there was only one thing in life besides failure and victory. There was no such thing as a draw.
When he saw Su Ming again in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence … he did not tell anyone else about him. This was a secret kept at the bottom of his heart. In fact, when Su Ming was forced into Western Ring Nebula's foreign land, he had gone there and watched it quietly for a long time.
There was no enmity between him and Su Ming, but there was a resolve in his heart. This resolve was due to his pride, which was why he wanted to kill Su Ming with his own hands and wipe off the only time he had ever fought to a draw with someone of the same generation.
This resolve was also due to his loneliness. In his lonely and monotonous life, he believed that there was only one person who had the right to be his friend. However, he did not understand much about the word friend.
"Long time no see." He walked into the room and sat down across from Ye Wang. There was a table between them, and there was wine on the table. It was the taste of wine that Ye Wang had tasted when he was alone.
Su Ming looked at Ye Wang. In his memories, this person was the center of attention. No matter where he was, he seemed to be used to being the center of attention.
It did not matter whether it was his level of cultivation, his potential, or his appearance, he looked as if he was doted on by the universe. This was something that was very similar to Dao Kong. However, the difference between them was that one was cold, while the other was sinister.
Su Ming picked up the wine pot and poured wine for himself and Ye Wang. He lifted the wine cup gently and looked at Ye Wang.
Ye Wang was silent. The complicated look on his face still did not disappear. He looked at Su Ming, and after a long while, he also picked up his wine cup.
"This cup of wine is for the first time we met in the Berserker Tribe." Su Ming finished the wine in one gulp.
Ye Wang quietly finished the wine in one gulp and placed it by the side. The complicated look in his eyes grew stronger as he looked at Su Ming and did not speak for a long time.
Su Ming did not speak either. The two of them just sat quietly in the room. It was quiet all around them. Not a single sound came from outside. It was as if this region had been wiped off from Worldly Star Planet.
After the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, Ye Wang sighed softly.
"You've changed a lot. The first time we met, you didn't know about the cause and effect, and the second time we met, you were already in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence.
"You've also changed a lot. Right now, you're already in the middle stage of World Plane Realm, and by the looks of it, you'll only need one thousand years to reach completion in the middle stage of World Plane Realm." An ancient look that even he did not notice slowly appeared on Su Ming's face.
Ye Wang's level of cultivation was at the middle stage of World Plane Realm. This sort of level of cultivation could be said to be a complete display of his potential. Ye Wang had not practiced cultivation for a long time, and he was not old either, but he had managed to reach the middle stage of World Plane Realm with his own power. This … was something that Su Ming could not compare to.
If Su Ming did not have his Ecang clone, if he did not have his clone that practiced the Art of Swallowing Hollow Shadows Whole, and if Su Ming was not an Abyss Builder, then he might not even have the right to sit down before Ye Wang.
After all, Su Ming's true level of cultivation was only at the peak of Heaven Cultivation Realm.
Even if he had worked much harder than Ye Wang, even if his experiences were much more torturous than Ye Wang's, even if the price he had to pay far surpassed Ye Wang's, even if Ye Wang's path had always been smooth sailing, there were times when potential was something that could not be erased no matter how much sweat and effort one put into it.
"Not bad, huh? Compared to you, my speed of cultivation is still too slow." Ye Wang picked up the pot of wine. Once he poured wine for Su Ming and himself, he drank it all in one gulp again.
"I've always thought that the world is fair. The weak should be weak. No matter how much they train, they can't become powerful, and the powerful should be powerful and continue walking to the peak.
"This is the structure of the world I understand … Your potential … is very ordinary, but you walked ahead of me. Is this what they mean by the saying, 'the clumsy bird flies early'?" Ye Wang drank another cup of wine. His final sentence showed his proud and aloof personality that made him stand out from other people. There was even a hint of provocation in his words.
Su Ming smiled faintly, picked up the wine cup, and drank from it. A profound look appeared in his eyes.
"The clumsy bird flies early is a huge lie and a joke, because there are far too many ordinary people in this world. We … need comfort and motivation. That is a beautiful thing, a beautiful thing that makes people want to immerse themselves in it and be unable to free themselves from it.
"I am indeed a clumsy bird. I don't have your breathtaking attention. This is unfair," Su Ming said flatly after he put down the wine cup.
Ye Wang fell silent. A contemplative look appeared in his eyes. After a long while, he cast his gaze outside the window.
"You have indeed walked ahead of me. This has nothing to do with whether it's fair or not, but I'd like to hear what you have to say about this so-called fairness in the universe." Ye Wang shook his head. His gaze fell on Su Ming's face once again, and it was as if there was a spark in his eyes. His thoughts ran deep. Since his level of cultivation was not as high as Su Ming's, then perhaps he could open up a gap in Su Ming's heart. A mistake in his epiphany and epiphany would usually cause a person's level of cultivation to stop moving forward endlessly.
This gap would require him to find the weakness in the other person's heart through their words, and from there, he could magnify it. This was a divine ability from Morning Dao Sect, and Ye Wang had seen it before.
Su Ming thought about it, then looked at the empty wine cup before he said calmly, "Someone once asked me this question. He asked me why the others were unfair to him."
"This world has always been unfair. Those who want to pursue fairness will only end up in a tragic end."
"Oh? Then why do people still have to look forward to a beautiful future? "A glint appeared in Ye Wang's eyes. Su Ming's words caused him to think about it, and he found that there was a deeper meaning to them.
"This beautiful lie must exist, because even if people spend their entire lives searching for it without any results … they are still searching for it. As long as they continue searching for it, then there will be a slight possibility that they can turn something rotten into something magical.
"Because as long as they continue searching for it, then there will be a possibility that they will discover an area in which they are stronger than others. Even if my potential in cultivation is not good, perhaps I will be better than others when it comes to dealing with people. Even if I am not good when it comes to dealing with people, perhaps I will have my own forte when it comes to creating things.
"There will always be a place that is suitable for me. There will always be a forte that makes me slightly better than others. Based on this, even the heavens are fair." Su Ming stared at the wine cup and remembered his status as an Abyss Builder along with his inborn ability to Possess clones.
He was a stupid bird, but if he did not have that beautiful future and the desire to pursue something that made him unwilling to accept his current situation, then he would not have been able to find his forte on the path of his pursuit.
"What are you trying to say?" Ye Wang was silent. After some time, he lifted his head and looked at Su Ming. He did not find a single flaw in Su Ming's heart through his words. Instead, he had a feeling that he had been lured into Su Ming's thoughts.
"What was the plan against me that you participated in in True Morning Dao World?" Su Ming asked calmly with a smile.
"You won't want to know," Ye Wang said faintly.
"That is my answer as well." Su Ming smiled.
A focused glint appeared in Ye Wang's eyes. He looked at Su Ming, and a pensive look gradually appeared on his face.
"I'll tell you a story. I saw it in a person's memories. In a secular world, there was a rich man who wanted to build a house, so he found a carpenter.
"The rich man looked down on the carpenter, because he had a lot of servants and could decide the carpenter's fate at will. He believed that the carpenter was a lowly person." The carpenter was honest, so he was used to being looked down upon and spoken to by others. He quietly helped the rich man build his house, but when he finished, he kept the sharp edges of the wooden tools in the house based on his knowledge. He also built a lot of doorsills on the ground, making the house look incredibly grand.
"It did not matter whether it was the Fengshui or the hidden dangers, the carpenter did not intend to get paid. Ten years after he left, the rich man fell and crashed into the sharp edges of the wooden tools, and he died." Su Ming put down the wine cup in his hand and stood up.
"If you understand this story and what I said before, then help me do one thing. If you don't, then I will take my leave." As Su Ming spoke, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Ye Wang was stunned. Su Ming's words appeared in his head, and the instant Su Ming took a step out of the door, he lifted his head swiftly.
"What do you want to tell me? What is strong? Prodigies with potential are not necessarily strong. Sometimes, some people also have methods that are so powerful that they can kill others.
"Once you return to the land of Immortals, help me go to Yin Death Region and take care of my senior brothers." Su Ming did not turn his head back. He walked out of the room and disappeared into the night.
He walked through the quiet galaxy. When he was in Ye Wang's room just now, Su Ming had gotten rid of the final thought of Possessing him. This sort of person should not die just because he was Possessed.
If he lived, then the universe would become more interesting.
If he lived, then the Dao that Su Ming's words had planted in his heart would slowly grow until it changed Ye Wang's life.
'What is strong..? Find your own strengths and persevere in them. Don't care about other people being better than you in other areas. Then one day … you will stand at the same spot in a different area. This is the true meaning of the phrase 'the stupid bird flies first'. Ye Wang, if you continue doing this, then you will no longer be a prodigy. You will also be a stupid bird. ' Su Ming walked slowly with an unfathomable smile on his face. He walked past the galaxies, past the people who bowed respectfully to him while hiding in the dark, and walked … out of Worldly Star Planet.
At the instant he walked out, he turned his head around and cast a glance at the air.
'I don't like being stared at like this. I hope that there won't be a next time between us. '
