Li Ping'an felt for sure that he had become incredibly strong.
Obedience to the Heavenly Dao and defiance of the Heavenly Dao—between these two paths, his father had actually found a third one.
Teaching the Heavenly Dao!
Yet at this moment, Li Ping'an still felt as if he were awakening from a dream.
Indeed, when he first encountered the Heavenly Dao, a trace of fear emerged in his heart, and subconsciously, he came to view the Heavenly Dao as the enemy of all beings, automatically regarding it as the "evil will that rules the world."
Then he became somewhat resistant and avoided it.
Later he heard rumors of the heavenly slaves, and from the predecessors Tianli, Yellow Emperor, Mo Linyuan, and the Lady of Wa, he learned that the Heavenly Dao was expanding rapidly, knew that all heavenly slaves except for Fuxi had died violently, and firmly resisted becoming a heavenly slave.
It wasn't until this moment that Li Ping'an truly awakened.
