Condemning the Heavens

"Pretty much," Lan smiled . "Look at it as a way to temper your body and your mind . But keep in mind, that if you die, the Monarch Piranha Flower will also die, so the likelihood of it taking over during a battle is quite small .

"Of course, that does not mean that it is impossible . It could happen, but the chance is not very big . "

"And you led us here to meet the Monarch Piranha Flower for what reason again?" Xue Wei could not help but ask with a bit of annoyance .

"Oh, it was to test your skills," Lan answered . "The Monarch Piranha Flower was even more shrewd than I had expected, attacking you like this . I had not expected it to conjure a seed and take root in your heart . It is indeed unfortunate, but make the best out of it . "

Xue Wei knew that if Lan wanted to, he would be able to remove the Monarch Piranha Flower’s seed from his heart, but he also knew that he was not likely to do so if he asked .

He was not a dumb person . He knew that Lan had some purpose for getting close to him, and the more time they spent together, the more puzzled Xue Wei became .

He did not think that Lan wanted him dead, but at the same time, he was causing him to experience danger after danger, and he was not going to help out . Even now, when he faced a deadly threat, Lan was smiling and speaking of it as if he was discussing the weather .

It was clear that Lan did not hold affectionate feelings for Xue Wei . Sometimes, like now, where they experienced dangers due to Lan’s arrangements, Xue Wei had a weird sense of feeling that Lan hated him .

But moments later, Lan would do something that made it possible for Xue Wei to survive, and if he hated him, why would he help him? It was puzzling, and Lan was an enigma that Xue Wei could not understand .

This was also why he was not willing to ask for help . He was confident that Lan would not help him, at least not before his life was truly hanging by a thread .

Looking at Xue Wei, Lan did indeed have mixed emotions .

On one hand, he disliked him . On the other hand, he admired him and found his personality very likable .

But Xue Wei was a halfbreed . He was a mixture of different races, something that had been forbidden ten thousand years prior, and in these ten thousand years, he had become the only one successfully born .

Ten thousand years ago, many races appeared from the mixing of various species, but from one day to another, things changed . When someone was pregnant with a child, and if the parents were of different races, then the fetus would die, sometimes the mother also .

The fact that everything changed from one day to another was strange, and many began wondering what could have happened, but the world was unaware of the laws of the Deities, so they did not know that there was something called a Sovereign God, who owned the world, and who could create the laws of that world as he pleased .

Sovereign Gods were the ones who controlled the worlds . Originally, the Sovereign God was the Deity who created the world, but for many worlds, these original deities had vanished and left the worlds to fend for themselves .

A world without a Sovereign God was considered weak compared to other worlds, and they would have less energy than the experts could consume,

Eventually, the world would cease to exist, as it ran out of energy altogether, but if it had a Sovereign God, it would be able to continue creating energy, in a formation known as the Formation of Life .

When Lan originally arrived in this world, he had no intention of taking over the task as a Sovereign God, but after meeting Li Zhiqing, he decided to spend the rest of his life protecting the things she held dear .

After taking over the position as the Sovereign God of this world, Lan had not done much before Li Zhiqing died . After her death, he made it impossible to birth a child with mixed races .

This was because Li Zhiqing was a mixed-race child, and these children were always categorized into two groups . Mixed-race children were either extremely talented, or they were utter trash .

Most of them were trash, but because some were born extremely talented, interracial weddings had become extremely popular, until Lan put an end to it .

It was unknown how many unfortunate children had suffered the same fate as Li Zhiqing, abandonment by their own families, and he could not approve of it .

This was also why he disliked Xue Wei . Xue Wei was the person who had broken his rule; he was a mixed breed, someone who should not exist in this world . But it was also because he had broken the law that he was useful for Lan .

Without breaking the rule, he would not at all care about him, but now that he had, he was the key for him to get back Li Zhiqing, so he was going to follow him everywhere .

But there were indeed mixed feelings for Lan . The more time he spent with Xue Wei, the more he liked him and admired him, but at the same time, he felt sour . Why could his Li Zhiqing not be a genius when even Xue Wei could?
