"Killing God Senior," Wei Chen said, "since you asked me that, let me ask you: what do you think about the responsibilities of family versus one's own dreams?"
Wei Chen hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to seek advice from Killing God Senior. After all, he was an elder with vast experience and knowledge. Moreover, having been in a soul state for so long, he must have gained many insights about life.
However, to Wei Chen's surprise, Killing God Senior fell silent for a moment before responding, "My child, this question is quite tricky. Even with my millions of years of experience, I cannot give you a definitive answer."
Wei Chen was taken aback. Was this question truly so difficult that even Killing God Senior was stumped?
"Killing God Senior, have you ever faced such a choice?" Wei Chen asked calmly.
"Naturally," Killing God Senior replied, his tone filled with desolation. "I once had a wife, but after I chose to confront Bloodshed Shop, I had to part ways with her. What happened to her afterward remains a mystery to me; it’s as if she vanished into thin air."
"I regretted opposing Bloodshed Shop. I thought that by separating from her, they would spare her or simply disregard her as just a woman and not lower themselves to deal with her. As it turned out, I was indeed naive. Bloodshed Shop sent people to capture my wife. By the time I arrived, their forces had suffered heavy casualties, and my wife had disappeared."
"I searched frantically for her, leaving no stone unturned. Yet there were no leads; she had seemingly vanished without a trace. Even when I captured several core members of Bloodshed Shop and tortured them, they knew nothing about her whereabouts. They told me she wasn't killed by their people and that they had no idea where she went."
Killing God Senior's voice was filled with confusion and sorrow. Wei Chen found himself unconsciously affected by that tone, his mood growing heavy.
"My child," he continued, "the story I just shared is meant to convey that some choices, once made wrongly, can lead to a lifetime of regret. But if I had chosen to stay with my wife and face Bloodshed Shop together, I can tell you clearly that we both would have died. I couldn't protect her; I lacked the strength at the time. In the early days of confronting Bloodshed Shop, I wasn't strong enough to earn the title of Killing God. I couldn't protect my woman; I was a coward."
Killing God Senior admitted his cowardice, his tone steeped in desolate sorrow.
Wei Chen sighed and said, "Senior, that was also your helpless choice. Perhaps your wife is still alive."
"Haha, it's not that simple. If she were alive, she should have come forward during the later stages of my fight against Bloodshed Shop. By then, my name was well-known; news of my situation spread everywhere—she would have known about it. Moreover, at that point, I had gained some ability to protect her," Killing God Senior said bitterly.
Wei Chen pondered for a moment before asking, "Senior, you haven't really told me how to approach such choices."
"I already told you: I don't know either," Killing God Senior replied.
Wei Chen felt helpless; wasn't this equivalent to asking in vain?
"Killing God Senior" said, "Child, you are not foolish. Did you not hear what my main point is?"
"No," Wei Chen shook his head, admitting he had not grasped it.
Killing God Senior sighed, "The point is, when your loved one is in danger, do you have enough strength to protect her?"
"If I had the strength of my peak period when I first started to confront Bloodshed Shop, then bringing my woman along would pose no fear. Unfortunately, at that time, my strength was lacking, and Bloodshed Shop had already noticed me. If I did not fight back, I would only face death. I had no choice but to separate from my woman."
"Child, think about it. When you find yourself in such a situation and your strength is insufficient, what can you do?"
"The only hope lies not in others but in yourself. When your own strength is formidable, you fear nothing. If your strength is lacking and you encounter difficulties and pressure, you will be helpless. It's not just your life at stake; your woman’s life is also on the line."
Killing God Senior's words were clear as day; Wei Chen could not possibly misunderstand. If he still did not comprehend after this, he would be a fool.
No matter what, for a man, strength is of utmost importance.
Wei Chen's expression grew serious as he fell into deep thought. Killing God Senior was not in a hurry; he patiently awaited Wei Chen's response. Having spent so long in the Memory Stone, he had grown accustomed to solitude and boredom. For him, waiting longer was a simple matter.
"Killing God Senior is right. All my concerns are unnecessary. When faced with those choices, everything else is illusory; only my own strength and fists are real."
"I have inherited Killing God Senior's Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords. Confronting Bloodshed Shop is only a matter of time. The immediate plan must be to improve my strength as much as possible so that when danger strikes, I can protect my family."
"Perhaps becoming stronger is no longer just my personal aspiration; it has become my responsibility and mission."
Having realized this point, Wei Chen felt a sense of clarity wash over him. The previous gloom and confusion vanished without a trace.
As if sensing Wei Chen's shift in mindset, Killing God Senior cheerfully transmitted his voice, "Child, have you come to understand?"
"I have," Wei Chen nodded.
"That's good. Don't think about anything else for now; focus on your training. Strong power is the way to go. As for everything else, you'll understand in due time."
For Wei Chen's confusion, Killing God Senior could only offer one answer: enhance your strength. With enough power, everything else would fall into place. Without sufficient strength, nothing mattered.
"Senior, I've inherited your Destruction of the World Thirteen Swords. There's no escaping a confrontation with Bloodshed Shop now. But I still hope you can regain your strength; my own power is truly insufficient. You were so strong back then, yet you were ultimately surrounded and killed by Bloodshed Shop. What right do I have to oppose them?" Wei Chen earnestly conveyed to Killing God Senior.
Killing God Senior pondered for a moment before replying with a bitter smile, "Child, do you think I don't want that? But without a suitable host body, what can I do? Finding someone who possesses True God World and is willing to sacrifice their life for me—have you considered how difficult that is?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen's expression dimmed slightly. No matter what, he hoped for Killing God Senior's revival, but the problem was that finding such a host body was nearly impossible. Those who possessed True God World were rare as phoenix feathers or unicorn horns, and asking one to willingly give up their body was even more challenging than climbing to the heavens.
Was it hopeless then? Would Wei Chen have to face Bloodshed Shop alone?
"Senior, aside from having someone with True God World voluntarily offer their body to you, are there any other methods?" Wei Chen asked calmly.
Killing God Senior contemplated for a moment before responding, "There is another method, but it is even harder than obtaining a True God World."
In Wei Chen's mind, acquiring a body with True God World was the most difficult task imaginable; how could there be anything harder than that?
"Senior, what is it? Perhaps what you see as the most difficult might actually be the simplest for me," Wei Chen said with a light smile.
Killing God Senior snorted softly and replied, "Child, you think too highly of yourself. Obtaining a body with True God World is merely the easiest part; the other method is something you wouldn't want to attempt."
"Heh heh, I only know that nothing in this world is impossible for those who are determined. It's not such a big deal. You see, your first option seems like an impossible task to me—there's not even a glimmer of hope," Wei Chen said cheerfully.
Killing God Senior sighed and suddenly a Phantom appeared right in front of Wei Chen.
Wei Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Killing God Senior, how did you come out?"
"Who told you I couldn't come out?" Killing God Senior looked at Wei Chen with wide eyes, though there was a hint of gentle amusement in his gaze.
He could see that Wei Chen genuinely wanted to help him obtain a body. Only by having a physical form could he unleash his true power; merely being a Soul Body would greatly diminish his effectiveness.
"Uh... Hehe, I thought Soul Bodies couldn't come out in the sunlight, or they'd be burned to death," he said. In general understanding, that was indeed the case. How could a pure Soul Body possibly detach from its host and come out? That would be like seeing a ghost!
Wei Chen's confusion was met with a calm smile from Killing God Senior, who replied, "I can't stay out here for long—about a minute, perhaps—before I must return. In the future, if you encounter great danger, I will also emerge and can assist you within certain limits."
After a pause, Killing God Senior continued, "In fact, relying solely on my current Soul Body, I still have some confidence against ordinary Twelfth Level Deities without True God Worlds or Absolute Territories. However, I cannot appear too many times; being discovered is one aspect of danger. My Soul Power would be weakened, and that is the real threat."
Hearing Killing God Senior's words, Wei Chen frowned and asked, "Senior, aren't Twelfth Level Deities supposed to possess True God Worlds to achieve that level?"
"When did I ever say that?" Killing God Senior replied with a hint of impatience in his expression. "What I'm telling you is that true power requires a True God World and an Absolute Territory. Otherwise, even if one barely cultivates to the Twelfth Level Divine Realm, they won't be very strong. I can defeat them using just my Soul Body."
"Alright," Wei Chen nodded and asked, "So this time you came out to seriously tell me how difficult the other method is?"
"Exactly," Killing God Senior said with a cold smile. "The alternative method is extremely challenging; even at my peak, I couldn't achieve it."
"Just tell me directly what it is. Whether it's difficult or not depends on individual strengths," Wei Chen smiled confidently. Of course, that was merely surface-level confidence; in reality, how much confidence could he truly have?
"Child, your confidence is admirable... So let me be straightforward with you. The second method involves storming into the Blood Slaughter Shop Headquarters and stealing their Sacred Artifact. I would then inhabit that Sacred Artifact and cultivate my body using its power. Ultimately, that Sacred Artifact would become my body, and the effect obtained would be stronger than that of a True God World body."
Killing God Senior finished speaking and looked at Wei Chen with a smile. "So, do you still have confidence?"
Wei Chen was taken aback...
