Now that's what I am f'ing talking about. If you want to prove your worthy of being around him you don't need to protect him when he is at his best, do it when he is at his worst.

Interesting so does that 3 only apply to people who use the soul record or does it apply to everybody period. Alright, that's fair but I do hope we eventually get more explanations on spiritual attacks and how to cast them. Also thank you for the reply author, I appreciate the clarifications and the knowledge.

I like this more carefree Bai zemin, I hope we see more of this side of him.

Although it is kind of BS that the asura emperor could cast multiple high level spells very quickly whereas this dude is taking his sweet time casting spiritual attacks which are supposed to be his specialty. It's also interesting that the spiritual earring is even capable of fully blocking an attack of a fourth order being. I could understand if it can partially block them but Bai zemin still gets hit with certain side effects.

I really like this explanation. It's better than the usual light novel explanation, where it's usually ghosts and spiritual beings are weak to fire and lightning because fire and lightning is yang and ghosts and spiritual beings are yin.

No western is like smaug from the hobbit. Eastern is more like snake dragons from most eastern mythologies.

Nah dude. Honestly, keep it. I keep all my comments so I can look back on how wrong, stupid, or stubborn I was. I learn from those mistakes and try to be better but you cant do it, if there is no record of it. Sometimes, like a arrogant a$$hole, I like to think about it as erasing part of history to make it look better or more perfect which is something I find deeply abhorrent. Hell, you might very well be right. In which case, you can look back on those comments and realize how you predicted this happening forever ago, such a good feeling. So again in that way, its self serving to you.

Okay bro, I get where your coming from. Most of my comments are negative about this book because most of the time, the MC and or the characters in that moment do things that are, at least to me, stupid. However, you are right, if I am going to criticize the author for his losses, I should give him praise for his wins, because being negative all the time is bad for my own mental health and the author's. Furthermore, I am trying to be more positive about the book but sometimes certain things just nag at me because of how different I am ideologically from some of the characters in the story, at least for now. Which is fine because its nice to read books with characters of differing opinion to yourself, if its done right it lets you better see the other side of an argument and see what people who have that line of thinking are coming from. Plus, hopefully, by being more nice, it gives the author more of a reason to listen to my criticisms and pure speculations so in that way its self serving. To be fair though, the author does have a lot of people who support and root for him. Who give lots of praise to the story, the story itself is very high on the power ranking. Of course he also a$$holes that just hate the story for nonsensical reasons, my goal is to not come off like that. My goal is to give criticisms which hopefully the author reads, and then thinks about. This then hopefully leads to him, disregarding it, writing notes to change something in the story, to keep what I said in mind, or engaging in thoughtful conversation with a reader to kind of show his own line of thinking. I want the story to be better and not worse so if some of my criticisms leads to that, its a win for me. But I do need to try to give more to the author, than I take away, if that makes sense.

Yes he has potential, according to Lillith, but it doesn't mean jack if back then he got unlucky and ran into a bunch of second order beasts. Back when Bai Zemin planned to conquer China, he was nowhere as strong as he is now. There were plenty of things that could kill him on Earth, most likely together as opposed to one on one fights. Even now we are not sure what is going on in all of China or even all of the planet. You cant just ignore the rest of the planet because as you said, its a huge unknown factor and that affects Bai Zemin's ability to takeover China. Your saying because Bai Zemin has the confidence to do it, backed by Lillith's support, he should be capable of doing it. That is borderline plot armor, at least from the perspective of when Lillith and Bai Zemin had that conversation. Plus again Lillith is not necessarily the perfect source of information, unless somehow there is an in story reason that she is. There are things she might not know about the beginnings of some of the top tier existences in the universe. Those people could have given false information to the public because it serves them to do so. Or she could have gotten false information from her sources. We dont know either way. You cant assume that she is the perfect source of information just like I cant assume she isn't, its a big unknown. Okay I see what your saying. Your saying that regardless of if he was actually capable of doing it. He decided to start attempting to do it in that moment, based on his own confidence backed by Lillith. I think that is dumb as $hit since he has no clue what is going on in the rest of China or the World but I get what your saying. Your saying he usually respects his own life more which isn't the case because he jumps into situations all the time that could end his life. He also launches attacks, of unknown scope, that could easily kill him because he doesn't actually practice them before hand. Respecting his life would be researching his enemies and being more cautious, which he does do sometimes, but not all the time, unfortunately. Also I wasn't just referring to his enemies. He doesn't give a $hit about most people's life's and he has said that in his own thoughts multiple times. In that case because the author wrote it, I know exactly what he was thinking. Furthermore, I dont think Bai Zemin himself knows his own plans, he is winging it most of the time. For instance, deciding on a whim to jump into a rift that leads to another world, there is no way he planned for that. His goals right now are obvious because he said them many times, get his family back, conquer china, get to the 2nd order, and then somehow become the strongest person in the universe to his loved ones. Whatever I assume is going on currently in the story is usually backed by evidence and the context of the story but there is still a lot of this story left which means a lot of unknown things, that already happened, are currently happening, and have already happened. You have to take into account those unknowns as much as possible because it better informs your opinion if you try to take into account for those things to some degree. Obviously their unknown so I am going to be wrong, probably a lot, but I might also, hopefully ,be right a few times. I dont mind being wrong a lot, if I am right a few times. Again, no need to get so worked up dude. I am trying to antagonize you, we are both lovers of the story so lets just relax and enjoy what the author is writing. I will do it in my way and you can do it in yours. Or we could keep discussing it but in which case, you need to relax a little bit.
