At first, reliance was unavoidable. But once someone grew strong, he would do everything he could to break his dependence on anything else.
Power belonged to oneself, and what one sought was true freedom.
To be free meant to live forever and stand unrivaled beneath the heavens. To be unfettered meant to generate one's own power and seek nothing from outside!
Only by achieving both could one be truly free and unfettered!
To live forever and stand unrivaled beneath the heavens meant having no opponent and never dying!

In scientific terms, entropy would remain constant and unchanging for eternity.
That was the most terrifying existence of all!
Li Qing had caught a faint glimpse of the highest path of cultivation!

It was all information
