Chapter 159

Welt Yang did not answer; he only let out a long sigh, turned to look at Hearing Jing Yuan, and said, "Child, are you truly certain you wish to bear all of this?"

Hearing Jing Yuan paused for a moment, then understood what Welt Yang was referring to. He fell silent for a while, then lifted his head, his gaze fixed firmly upon the gloomy clouds in the sky.

"I have no other choice."

Though his voice was weak, it carried an undeniable firmness.

"Since I have awakened the power of the 'Child of the Stars,' I am destined to shoulder the responsibility of protecting this universe; even if what lies ahead is a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, I will never retreat!"

"Good!" Welt Yang looked at Hearing Jing Yuan, and in his cloudy old eyes, a glimmer of tears actually sparkled. "As expected of the child I chose—you have a sense of duty! You have courage!"

"However, child, for some matters, courage alone is not enough; you also need..."

He paused, as if organizing his words.

"Need what?" Hearing Jing Yuan pressed urgently.

"You also need... power!"

Welt Yang spoke word by word, his tone more serious than ever before.

"True power!"

Upon the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou, a storm was also quietly brewing.
