Ye Xiao was unable to believe those words told by the Emissary of the Heavens for a long time. It is because the very first sentence told to him was that he was never born like normal people. Instead, he was born in a cocoon that transformed from the Green Crystal. And he was born from the Source of the Heavens.
No one would believe these words just like that.
Ye Xiao was also the same. He could also not bring himself to believe these unbelievable words.
However, just as the Emissary of Heavens said, he doesn't have even vague memory of the time before he started begging for a living. As far as he could remember, when he felt like dying because of hunger, he started begging. Ye Xiao can't deny this truth at all.
It means, whatever the Emissary of Heavens was telling him is true.
He looked at the Emissary of Heavens and asked with some doubt: "If I was born from the Source of the Heavens in the Green Cocoon, then why my talent for cultivation is below average? I mean, even if I didn't have any special ability, I should at least have a genius level of talent, right?
The Emissary of Heavens shook his head and spoke with a smile on his face: "You should know more than anyone else that if you were a genius in cultivation, your starting point would never have been the Silver Moon Sect. And if you have never entered the Silver Moon Sect, you would not have been plotted against and crippled by Zhou Yan, and then you would have never obtained the Heavenly Pearl."
"As I said before, Heavens had always been watching you. You were given nothing by the Heavens because it never wanted the Second Universe to be doubtful of you. You were very ordinary, so ordinary that without the help of the Second Universe, you would never have been able to achieve anything in your entire life. But these exact things made the Second Universe choose you as its inheritor."
Ye Xiao nodded in agreement. He knew the Emissary of Heavens is right. If he was a genius, even if he entered the Silver Moon Sect, he would have been taken away by someone else from stronger power because of his talent. Everything would have changed at that moment.
Heavens had really calculated everything before playing its card.
It stole the fate of Zhou Yan and gave him his fate.
Being robbed of one's fate means death. And exactly this happened to Zhou Yan.
Ye Xiao not only obtained his fate, he even killed Zhou Yan in the end. Not to mention, he obtained his first Beast Fire from Zhou Yan as well.
At that time, he had just cultivated the First Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique and had obtained the ability to devour.
Knowing that Zhou Yan possesses the Beast Fire, he devoured the Beast Fire from Zhou Yan's body when he was still alive, causing Zhou Yan to die a painful death.
The Emissary of Heavens spoke again: "Ye Xiao, you should still remember how you felt when you faced the Eye of Heavenly Dao for the first time, right?"
Ye Xiao nodded in agreement. He clearly remembered everything. At that time, he had just obtained the Mystic-rank Treasure, the Golden Brick that he later sacrificed to break the First Seal of the Sea Dragon Spear.
After he obtained the Golden Brick, he was attacked and chased by a person called Ma Bao and his minions. He was weaker than them but his resolve and will to live were stronger.
And the Heavenly Pearl reacted to his will causing a thunderstorm to appear in the sky that covered the entire Great Xia Empire, startling countless experts. [Ref.- Ch 125 & 126.]
And when the Heavenly Pearl reacted to his will, it also caused the Eye of Heavenly Dao to appear in the sky.
At that time, if not for the fact that the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon acted on its own, he would have been killed by the Eyes of Heavenly Dao.
Ye Xiao could never forget that moment of his life. So of course, he remembered everything.
Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head, the Emissary of the Heavens asked again: "Compare that with the Eye of Heavenly Dao that destroyed the entire Azure Dragon Continent. What do you think, which is stronger?"
"It was the Eye of Heavenly Dao that destroyed the Azure Dragon Country!"
Ye Xiao remembered the time when the Eye of Heavenly Dao appeared and attacked him, and finally destroyed the entire Azure Dragon Country. He could not help but sigh. Although the Azure Dragon Country was destroyed by the Eye of Heavenly Dao, there is no doubt that the main reason was him.
If not for him, the Azure Dragon Country would have never been destroyed, and many people that he was familiar with would not have been killed and turned to ashes instantly.
"Then answer me, what would have happened if you were attacked by that kind of Eye of Heavenly Dao instead of the one from which you were saved by the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon? At that time, you have not even cultivated the First Layer of Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique completely. So, it would have been impossible for the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon to save you from that kind of country-destroying attack!"
"If that really happened, wouldn't have you died?"
"In fact, think about the Eye of Heavenly Dao you encountered every time. Every time, it was stronger than the last time, right?"
"And the strongest one you faced was the time before I appeared to attack you!"
"Think about it, if those kinds of dangers you faced when you were still growing, do you think you would have still been alive?"
Before Ye Xiao could respond, the Emissary of the Heavens continued: "In fact, there were simply too many chances for the Heavens to kill you, but Heavens never did that. It just did enough to make you realize how weak you still were. You still need to become stronger in order to achieve your goal."
"The Heavens' only goal was to make you aim higher and become stronger in the shortest period of time."
Ye Xiao fell into deep thought. He knew everything that the Emissary of the Heavens is speaking is really the truth.
The stronger he became, the stronger Eye of Heavenly Dao he faced. When he was still weaker, he would have died instantly under the attack of the Eye of Heavenly Dao that he faced recently.
But the Heavens never did that.
And it is also true that every time, after facing the Eye of Heavenly Dao, Ye Xiao realized how weak he was, and there is still a need for him to get stronger.
And last time, when he thought since he could easily deal with Ancient Gods, no one would be able to threaten him with his life, the Emissary of Heavens appeared who beat him up like hell. He felt like dying.
At that time, if he had not escaped by making a crack in space, he would have died.
Now that he thought about it, the Emissary of Heavens had the comprehension of every single Law and Profound Meaning other than the Four Supreme Laws.
If he wanted, he would have been able to restrain him from taking even a single step further. But he allowed Ye Xiao to make a crack in the space and escape. If the Emissary of Heavens had not allowed him to escape, he would never be able to move his body, let alone create a crack in space and jump into it.
Seeing Ye Xiao was able to now think things thoroughly, the smile on the Emissary of the Heavens' face became wider. He spoke again: "Now, think of the time when the secret realm of the Great Xia Empire was destroyed and you fell into a black hole. There, you encounter countless space blades that insanely injured you, to the point where your body was no longer in shape. Your body was like a meat patty."
"At that time, you showed great will suddenly and devoured the space blades before redirecting them at the empty space to create a crack. And then through that crack, you escaped from the black hole and fell into another world called Holy Beast Continent where you were saved by your women Su Xue Er."
"Now, answer me! You have already comprehended the Profound Meaning of Space. Tell me, is the space, mainly inside the black hole, really that fragile that a crack would appear with just a single attack of space blades?"
Ye Xiao took a deep breath again. He knew it was wrong. The space could never be fragile and weak enough for space blades to cut open a crack. When he was facing the space blades that were coming at him like a storm, he had dodged countless of them. But not a single crack was created by those blades.
However, when he devoured some of them and attacked himself, a crack was created.
It was too coincidental.
