Post-War Impact (II)

[This matter is well worth our attention!!]

[Damn it, we have absolutely no ability to interfere in this matter—we can only stand by and watch!!]

Though it was somewhat saddening.

For the various native factions of the Golden Mist Continent, that was simply the reality.

Once they truly understood that fact.

A sense of helplessness immediately surged into their hearts.

For a time.

Some could only sigh in resignation, while others remained unwilling to accept it.

Especially those who had believed themselves to be the finest, those standing at the very pinnacle—their thoughts were infinitely more complicated. It was the sudden realization that their former pride was, in truth, nothing much at all.

Some younger-generation cultivators even felt as though their Dao hearts had shattered upon learning of Ling Wuyuan's achievements!!

They understood that the gap between them was as vast as heaven and earth. They had no hope of catching up...

Yet while some were steeped in despair, others felt inspired.

"Mm~"

"He could actually be this strong??"

"My horizons have been broadened~"

"Perhaps I may yet surpass him one day!!"

It was the clarity that came after one's worldview had been overturned, after catching a glimpse of a broader world.

Before a towering mountain whose summit could not be seen, perhaps one they could never reach in their entire lives, some despaired while others were stirred... The differences between people were plain to see.

If Ling Wuyuan had known of these matters, he would probably have merely smiled in disdain...

He would disdain the mediocrity and incompetence of those who despaired.

He would disdain the wishful delusions of those who were inspired.

Yet though both drew his disdain, they were fundamentally two entirely different attitudes...

As the sun and moon completed another cycle.

By the next morning.
