In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 434 Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering.

The angel god was shocked and deeply saddened by Ying Tian's tragic past.

"I named that wondrous place the Eye of Ice and Fire, a hot spring in a deep valley," Zhu Wu continued. "The spring water is clearly divided into two colors, red and blue. The overall area is not large, but it is nearly 10,000 meters deep. There is a crack at the bottom, with molten lava flowing inside, while the outside is extremely cold due to its depth. Of course, I only discovered these internal details after I became stronger and explored the area."

"Extreme heat and extreme cold meet at the crack, giving rise to a peculiar aura, which is the natural energy I first encountered."

"Although incomplete, its spillover into the outside world still caused the surrounding plants to grow at a speed of hundreds of times, thus giving rise to many rare treasures. Most of these treasures contain deadly poisons, and only a very small portion are edible. It was only after investigating for a long time that I understood their uses and dared to consume them. With the help of these treasures, my cultivation level improved rapidly in a short period of time, far surpassing my peers."

"In particular, the Ice and Fire Body Refinement greatly enhanced my physical strength, laying a solid foundation for my later advancement to a divine body."

"Unfortunately, rare treasures are selective in their owners, especially some top-tier rare treasures, whose medicinal effects conflict and are simply incompatible."

"So, I started looking for partners for myself."

"My wife and I met some time later. At first, I have to admit that I got to know them with a purpose: to use the power behind them to take revenge. Because at that time, I had already found out about my own background."

"That was an extremely powerful family of Soul Masters."

He paused at this point.

"This is also why I disliked Yu Xiaogang's approach to Bibi Dong in order to gain knowledge of the Spirit Hall."

"It's not so much that I hate him, but rather that I hate my selfish self from the past."

"It's still different," the angel god continued. "Yu Xiaogang approached Bibi Dong purely out of exploitation. But you brought them rare and precious materials that could change their fate. So, the relationship between you two wasn't about exploitation, but a transaction."

You owe them nothing.

"I think that's why they ultimately chose you after going through so much with you."

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "Hearing you say that makes me feel much better. You're the first person in all these years to listen to me confide in you about these things."

"By seniority, you are my elder, and saying that now makes me feel much better."

When he met Ling'er by chance, he did have ulterior motives in befriending her to protect himself. He felt guilty about it, including accepting other women later on.

Fortunately, Ling'er didn't blame her, and the final outcome was good.

"Let bygones be bygones," the angel smiled. "Looking to the future is what we should be doing now."

"That's true." Zhu Wu nodded, then continued.

"In fact, I ultimately did not choose to rely on the power behind them back then, which can be considered as completely burying my initial improper thoughts. Because of my improved talent, I broke through the title early on, and later comprehended the mysteries of condensing soul cores and fusing rings, becoming one of the strongest people on the continent at that time. After that, I went to their door alone and completely destroyed that family."

"Originally, I intended to only punish the ringleaders."

"But I learned that after learning of my mother's death, that man had never visited her grave even once in all those years. That family also never cared. In their eyes, a commoner Soul Master was nothing but a worthless life."

"Ha, since they regard my mother and me as worthless, why should I have any pity for them?"

The Angel Goddess remained silent. Although she felt that Zhu Wu's actions were somewhat cruel—after all, there are always innocent people within a family—she had to admit that, putting herself in Zhu Wu's shoes, she couldn't say she could have tolerated it either.

The hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable; this is a common sense principle in the world.

She also understood the principle that one should not advise others to be kind if one has not experienced their suffering.

"And after accomplishing this, my heart was free of all constraints," Zhu Wu continued. "So, I began to travel with my wives to every corner of the world. In the process, my understanding of the dual attributes of ice and fire became more profound, and I eventually came into contact with the rules of this world. All things in heaven and earth are mutually generating and restraining, complementing and supporting each other, and the elements of heaven and earth are also based on this principle."

"By pushing it forward, I gradually saw and gradually gained control over the other elements of heaven and earth."

"Ultimately, I understand that the natural ecosystem of this world, whether it's the land or the ocean, is composed of the most basic elements of heaven and earth. My personal experience of the fusion of ice and fire to generate natural energy made me wonder if all the basic elements that make up this world could be integrated together. And this is what I have been thinking about and practicing all these years."

The angel god was suddenly startled, almost blurting out, "After fusion, it becomes the complete power of nature?"

"Not bad." Zhu Wu nodded.

"Or rather, it can be called the power of nature, the power that can construct the universe and nature."

"However, according to my research over this period of time, the power of nature can only create inanimate objects, that is, the natural environment for life to survive, but cannot create life itself."

"This is the real reason why I call it the power of nature."

"Even so, this is still an extremely powerful force," the angel god said solemnly.

After saying that, he casually asked, "Yingtian, have you thought about what you can do with this power in the future?"

"Clearly, this force is meant to protect the natural ecosystem," Zhu Wu said. "I think that's what I should do for this world next."

"I was born into this world, and the power I gained also comes from this world, so naturally I must give back."

"Like the dead sea god, not only does he not give anything in return, but he also thinks about plundering it at will. This is truly the behavior of an ingrate."

"Although I consider myself no good person, I am not ashamed to do it."

The angel nodded. "Giving back to our homeland is indeed what we should do."

"But Yingtian, are you really not going to the realm of gods?"

"Although you have mastered the secret to immortality, not all of your children and grandchildren may possess such talent."

"I've said it before, children and grandchildren have their own blessings." Zhu Wu said indifferently, "I've never thought about making every one of my children and grandchildren have eternal life, and they may not all be able to accept such a lifestyle. Moreover, if the descendants of a family were all immortal, wouldn't it be chaos if, over time, the world were dominated by the immortals of one family?"

"The cycle of life and death is also part of the natural cycle. Forcibly going against it is not a good thing for this world."

"That's true." The angel nodded.

The questions that needed to be asked have been asked; now it's up to the five great god-kings to consider.

"If I have the chance, I would really like to meet your family," she said with a slight smile, changing the subject.
