Was I really overthinking things?
Chen Changan shook his head helplessly. So often, he felt as if his existence served some purpose.
"From beginning to end, I've never been able to figure out what those two are up to or what they're after."
"At first, I thought everything they did was because of the Ancient Forbidden Land in the True Realm."
"But as it turned out, that was only part of it, like some small task they'd set for me along the road to growth."
"If that's the case, what's their ultimate goal?"
"What will the next trial they put me through be?"
"Judging by how things are going, the War Domain might be one of them."
"There are four grades of War Domains. Everyone knows that a second-grade War Domain corresponds to the Great World Lord Realm."
"But what kind of powerhouse does the highest-grade War Domain correspond to?"
"And what kind of terrifying existence could have created the War Domains?"
"This road is too long. So long that I don't know when I'll reach the end."
"I don't even know if that so-called end is really the finish line, or what will be waiting for me there."
"Honestly, back in the True Realm, I once thought that after everything was over, I'd live a peaceful, ordinary life."
"But certain people and things keep pushing you forward."
"Even if I'm willing to stop, someone or something always comes along to disturb my peace."
"Could all of this really be happening without someone arranging it?"
Hearing Chen Changan's words, Mu Yunyao also felt helpless, but there was nothing she could say.
Though Chen Changan hadn't said it outright, his meaning was clear: the ones most likely behind all this were his parents, who had been driving it forward all along.
