“Why, master? Why? Why…”

Huang Yanchen groveled on the ground outside Saint Palace Yuanchu. She couldn’t help crying, and she couldn’t even stand up. The only thing in her mind was the cold look Zhang Ruochen gave her as he left.

The colder the look was, the more pain she felt.

The voice of Empress Chi Yao came out. “You have to make a choice in your life. Since you’ve decided to side with me, you were going to lose him anyway. Even I, as a G.o.d, can’t balance both, not to mention you.”

“But…”

“There’s no but. Once you’ve made up your mind, you can only go along.”

The voice of Empress Chi Yao couldn’t sound more apathetic. Each word she spewed was like an iceberg, causing Huang Yanchen’s heart to ache.

Prime Minister w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi was wearing a purple official robe. He walked toward Saint Palace Yuanchu quickly, shot a glance at Huang Yanchen and kneeled on the ground. He said, “Zhang Ruochen is indeed a peerless genius. If he can submit himself to the imperial government, he’ll definitely be a great talent of the human race. I really appreciate him, however, his mind is a mess, and he couldn’t hate your majesty more. He’ll be a great threat to us all in the future. For the sake of the imperial government, and world, and the peace in Kunlun’s Field, I reckon we have to kill him.”

Saint Lady, Martial Saint Canglan, and Qing Mo, who were groveling on the ground, were all dazed.

They all knew that w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi was very observant, and he was right that Zhang Ruochen was a peerless talent. He was able to defeat all nine heirs by himself. Once he really grew in power, he would be a great enemy against the imperial government for sure.

Which was why they were worried that Zhang Ruochen might get killed if he couldn’t make it out of the empire city.

Empress Chi Yao said, “A great enemy?”

“That’s right. We’ve been focusing on him a long time, and with his speed of advancing, perhaps it’ll only take him fifty years to become a supreme saint, and three hundred years to become a G.o.d. I reckon Zhang Ruochen is actually far more of a threat than Death Zen Leader and Kong Lanyou. Your majesty, we have to be prepared. We have to kill him now,” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi said.

“Fifty years to become a supreme saint, and three hundred years to become a G.o.d. Has anyone in history ever achieved that?” Empress Chi Yao said very calmly, but everyone could tell that she said it with disdain.

“No, but Zhang Ruochen has super talents…”

Empress Chi Yao stopped w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi from finis.h.i.+ng his line. “So what? Are you saying n.o.body has the same potential Zhang Ruochen does?”

“Not quite… Although Zhang Ruochen has special talents, which makes him the most gifted person since ancient times, every one hundred thousand years, or hundreds of thousands of years, there will be someone who has that potential. For example, Thousand-bone Empress was just as gifted as him. And in the more ancient history, there might have been eight hundred, if not one thousand beings like them.”

Empress Chi Yao said, “Did they all become supreme saints or even G.o.ds?”

“No. Even Thousand-bone Empress didn’t become a G.o.d,” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi said.

“Then why should I be intimidated by someone who’s still nothing?”

Empress Chi Yao said with majesty, “There’re countless hero bodies in Kunlun’s Field. He’s someone who doesn’t matter at all. Fifty years to become a supreme saint, and three hundred years to become a G.o.d? w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi, how many years have you refined?”

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi felt gigantic pressure in front of a G.o.d. He couldn’t help sweating. He said, staring at the ground, “One thousand, two hundred and forty years.”

“What do you think about your talents?”

“I, I don’t think I’m any less talented than anyone else,” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi said.

Empress Chi Yao said, “Those who can reach your level all have the best talents and comprehension, but do you know why you still haven’t become a supreme saint after one thousand, two hundred and forty years?”

“Please tell me, your majesty,” w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi said.

“Potential doesn’t mean anything if you want to become a supreme saint, especially a G.o.d. What matters is your will. When you kneel before me, you’re already doomed never to become a supreme saint,” Empress Chi Yao said.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi sweated more heavily. He asked, “Why…”

Empress Chi Yao said, “Supreme saints are the kings of saintly way. Those who have the mind to become a king will never bow in front of others. Those who aspire to become G.o.ds have great perseverance. Those under supreme saints rely on their talents, and those who want to become supreme saints rely on their hearts.

“Those who aspire to become emperors will never bow in front of others, and those who aspire to become G.o.ds have great perseverance.”

“Never bow to others, and great perseverance.”

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi mumbled the words while trying to comprehend them.

“When you kneeled in front of me, you already lost your chance to become a supreme saint. You’re way weaker than Death Zen Leader and Kong Lanyou. They’re destined to be more accomplished than you,” Empress Chi Yao said.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+qi said, “Your majesty, could you tell me how to train my will?”

“Training your will is like making weapons. You need to use the hottest fire and coldest water to make weapons, and with the best weapon maker, you can design an invincible weapon. However, if you want to withstand the hottest fire and coldest water, you need to find the best iron in the world. You need all of them to succeed.”
