About the Protagonist

Regarding the main character

I suddenly realized that even now, many people still haven't figured out the protagonist's way of thinking and behavioral logic.

Let me explain this a little more.

First, there's the relationship between the protagonist and others. I won't go into the complicated ones, but to put it simply, there are four types: friends, enemies, passersby, and rivals.

The relationship between strangers is self-evident; there's not much to say about it, it's the kind where there's no real connection, or you just happen to meet and have no entanglement. There's not much to say about this kind of relationship; basically, you could say there's no connection at all.

Then there are the enemies. Once the enemy is identified, the protagonist won't hold back, such as the group at the Jade Pool Gathering, or the assassins from the Killer Dynasty he encounters.

Next comes the opponents. These are the rivals who will compete for the Emperor's Path. The protagonist's approach to dealing with such people is always honorable and aboveboard. Whether it was the battle with Ji Haoyue or the one-against-three fight against the Tai Xuan Sect, the protagonist never resorted to any underhanded or dirty tricks, but always fought them openly and honestly. Even when facing a future rival like the Holy Imperial Son, the protagonist remains upright and fair, negotiating with him in a frank and just manner.

Finally, there are friends. The protagonist doesn't have many friends, just Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and a few others, and his friendship with them dates back to before his cultivation. As for his friends, he will try his best to help them if he can, as long as it doesn't cross his bottom line. For example, he helped Ye Fan climb the Primordial Forbidden Land, or he promised to give Ye Fan a Nine Secrets.

That's roughly all there is to the main character's relationships with the others.

I consider my protagonist to be a very principled person. If anyone tries to say anything about him stealing Ye Fan's opportunities or trying to curry Ye Fan, I really don't know how to explain it.

In fact, based on the current plot development, the protagonist and Ye Fan are clearly in a mutually beneficial and win-win situation. Those who don't believe it can compare what Ye Fan possesses now with what Ye Fan possessed in the original story; clearly, the current Ye Fan is much "wealthier."

In this process, the protagonist, as the leader of the cooperation, naturally also gained a lot through the cooperation with Ye Fan, far exceeding the opportunities that Ye Fan obtained in the original work.

This is clearly a win-win situation.

Finally, let's talk about the protagonist's character, starting with the five most basic virtues: loyalty, filial piety, honesty, trustworthiness, and righteousness.

Loyalty? There's not much to say about that. As a rogue cultivator, I can't be said to be loyal to anyone. Strictly speaking, I'm only loyal to myself.

Filial piety—there's really not much to say about that. Before leaving Earth, the protagonist left his parents an inexhaustible fortune and divine medicine to improve their health, ensuring they would live a long and healthy life. If you think that being physically present with your parents is the only way to be filial, then you can consider the protagonist unfilial.

Honesty is a slight flaw, in that he wasn't completely honest with his friends. He didn't tell Ye Fan, Pang Bo, and others his most crucial secrets, such as the Reincarnation Mirror and the Dao Proving Artifact. But I suspect that if he had revealed these core secrets, he would have been met with a barrage of criticism!

The protagonist has never broken his promises so far; he has never gone back on his word.

As for loyalty, I think the protagonist I wrote is already quite loyal. Even when he had just entered the world of cultivation, he tried his best to protect his classmates and ensure their safe arrival at Big Dipper. In the process, he even gave up some treasures (Buddha Treasures from the Great Thunder Sound Temple).

That's about it. If you still don't understand the main character's personality, then I really don't know how to explain it.
