He “saw” fewer things than Xuan, so He chose to use that opportunity to merge with the past at its root.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And Yuan’s arrival in the Taixuan Realm is also tied to the authority of the Taixuan Realm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, in the Alliance of the Righteous Path, “Heaven” briefly returned to the mortal realm through the failed Dream Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps realizing the Cang race’s chance of reversal was too slim, “Heaven” tried to persuade him…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outcome was predictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one thing He said then was not wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He, having assimilated one-seventh of the Taixuan Realm’s “Heavenly Will,” was indeed an exceptionally unique being to the Taixuan Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the early stages, he could even influence the Taixuan Realm to some degree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re aware of all the attempts I made before entering seclusion.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo: “...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I know all too well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After entering seclusion, because I hadn’t accomplished what I set out to do, I kept thinking about those things.” Xu Xing paused, then sighed softly. “Perhaps I was still yearning for my homeland.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One thought arose—and Yuan arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply put, the Taixuan Realm selected a suitable person for him and guided him to this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps across the boundless Chaos Sea and countless worlds, Yuan isn’t the most suitable to change the Taixuan Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Xu Xing’s homeland, Yuan was the most suitable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I see…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a True Immortal, Huo quickly grasped the cause and effect—and even, thanks to Xu Xing’s explanation, connected to more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So Yuan’s ability to reach the Dongzhen Realm in just a thousand years is also tied to the one-seventh ‘Heavenly Will’ you assimilated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ordinary worlds, those favored by the “Heavenly Will” are called “Children of Fate.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Yuan was drawn here precisely because you assimilated one-seventh of the Taixuan Realm’s “Heavenly Will”—he might as well be called the “World’s Own Son.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s some truth to that, but it doesn’t negate his efforts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xing turned his gaze away from the moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To be honest, I feel somewhat guilty toward him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you say that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world’s favor, achieving Dongzhen in a thousand years, becoming the pinnacle beneath Immortality—how many could even dream of such supreme fortune?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is there to feel guilty about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Well…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guilt he spoke of was that he had never asked—his mere thought caused the Taixuan Realm to bring Yuan here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Yuan’s parents were alive and well in his homeland, living peacefully, yet he was pulled here because of Xu Xing’s single thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He toiled for over a thousand years, enduring countless near-death experiences, just to find the path home…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, Xu Xing smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When you eventually find him, ask him yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all these years, Brother Xu still loves being cryptic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fair enough. Some questions truly only gain meaning when you find the answer yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he bowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Brother Xu, for telling me so much tonight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re too kind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Huo prepared to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as he took his first step, he seemed to remember something and added:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Spirit Net is very convenient—when you have free time, join the group chats.
