Chapter 537: Treasuring Strength (2/2)

Lan was resting lazily on Xue Wei's shoulder. While he seemed very casual, he was alert and focused. He had not been in a dangerous situation for many thousands of years, as the ones who could pose a threat to him in this universe could be counted on one hand, but he was also aware that since he had sealed his strength, things were not as they used to be.

He was no longer the undefeatable deity above all others; he was now just an ordinary beast with a bit of strength.

”Do you plan on giving me up?” Neither Lan nor Xue Wei answered the young ghost. Instead, Lan lazily stretched on Xue Wei's shoulder as he asked the question.

Xue Wei could not help but sneer. ”I might not be a good person, but that does not mean that I am willing to sacrifice those who I hold dear.”

While he did not answer directly, Lan did not need another answer. He had already known that Xue Wei would never abandon him, and he could not help but feel that although he was now facing a dangerous world, he was much more alive than ever before.

Back when he was young, he had been cultivating with ease. His family was the hegemony in the entire universe; their power and influence could not be compared to anyone else, so it had been a smooth advance.

When he had an argument with his father, and escaped to the world where Xue Wei had originated from, he had already been so strong that no one could pose any sort of danger to him.

As such, these dangerous situations where one was walking on the fine line between life and death were a completely new emotion for him, and he could not help but feel some strange sort of excitement.

At first, he had sealed his strength, as this was a requirement to enter the Ghost Realm and find Li Zhiqing, but now he did not feel that it was such a bad thing to be weaker.

It was not that he was a masochist, but he felt that although he had unmeasurable power, he had never truly understood the struggle and the meaning behind having strength.

Getting something without working hard for it might make one not value it as much, as compared to if they had genuinely fought with all their might to achieve their success.
