Villain: Capture The Loli Sword Spirit At The Beginning

"Order and Dao respected... Hahaha... Order and Dao respected, hahaha... I didn't expect that the legendary Dao respected expert would turn out to be such a coward!"

Chen Xi really wanted to laugh.

In his memory, there were many strong individuals who never gave up in the face of strong enemies.

Even if the final outcome was being easily suppressed by the opponent, he had never had the thought of ending his own life out of weakness.

No matter how sincere and heartfelt this voice was, Chen Xi found it ridiculous.

"So, how do you think you can defeat an opponent who is fundamentally unbeatable?" The Order and Dao respected individual asked calmly, without any anger.

"There is no unbeatable opponent. If there is, then I will work twice as hard."

"Is that so? Let me ask you, if your opponent is currently stronger than you, has better talent than you, has a stronger background than you, and even works harder than you, what makes you think you can defeat him?"

"So you're just giving up? That way, you won't have the pain of failure after putting in effort."

Chen Xi realized that he had understood the logic of this Dao respected individual.

But in his eyes, this logic was incredibly laughable.

"Yes," the Order and Dao respected individual sighed, "but I know you won't listen to advice. Each and every one of you thinks you can defy fate."

"I will never give up in the face of true failure. If you have the ability, then let me be completely destroyed!"

"You have spirit, keep it up."

"Senior, can you provide me with any help?"

"I can't. I was supposed to give you a sword, but there was a change of plans."

"Change of plans?" Chen Xi was taken aback, "Even a strong individual like you can have unexpected changes?"

"Yes, I saw it when I was still just a remnant soul. At that time, the you I saw was stronger than you are now, and you didn't arrive so early. But later, something unexpected happened, and a little girl took the sword away. I don't know what happened to it now."

Unexpectedly, Chen Xi didn't care about the specific details, but instead revealed a smile.

"In other words, even if I surpass the Dao realm, the future I see can still change. My current opponent, like me, is still just in the Dao realm."

As long as he knew that the Dao respected individual was not an all-powerful, all-knowing existence, then Gu Lingxiao couldn't do it either.

Chen Xi once again felt full of fighting spirit.

"Your optimism is just like what I saw back then."

"This is not optimism, but a possibility. As long as there is a possibility, I will not give up!"

"Alright, since that's the case, you can go to the place where fate converges."

"I know, as long as I kill my parallel self in the alternate timeline, I can become stronger. But I won't do that."

"Why?"

"Didn't you see the future back then? Why don't you tell me why I shouldn't do it?"

Chen Xi was now curious about how much of the future this former Dao respected expert had seen.

And how many of those futures had been changed.

However, the Order and Dao respected individual's answer disappointed him.

"I didn't have time to see so much... I saw it right before I was about to fall. I only took a glance, not that much."

"Right before you were about to fall?"

"I'm about to die, so of course I want to see if there's any chance of a comeback or resurrection."

"And what about in the end? Do you... have a chance for a comeback or resurrection?"

Chen Xi asked again, full of hope.

"Maybe there is, but I haven't seen it."

The tone of the Order Daozu was indifferent.

In fact, he had long accepted his fate.

Although he didn't see the scene of his own death and resurrection, it probably meant that this scene didn't exist at all.

"So now, can you tell me why you didn't go to the intersection of fate? This should be the fastest way for you to become stronger. Your parallel selves in different timelines can provide you with great assistance. From them, you can know in advance what kind of misfortune you will encounter, and where you can gain adventures..."

"But if they all die, they won't be able to defeat their opponents in that world. They are all me, with the same enemies."

After a moment of silence, the Order Daozu spoke again:

"If you think about it from a different perspective, at the beginning, perhaps every parallel self cared about each other's lives, but the moment they stepped into the intersection of fate, they stopped caring.

In other words, every self you meet there has already prepared to kill you. When facing someone who wants to kill you, you don't need to have any psychological burden, right?

Moreover, if you one day surpass the Dao realm, all your parallel selves in different timelines will disappear. If you are confident enough in yourself, it's the same to make them disappear in advance."

Chen Xi also fell silent.

Because he couldn't refute the Order Daozu.

But at least for now, he couldn't kill his parallel selves.

"I can't do it."

"If you can't, then you can leave. Because staying here won't help you anymore. It's better to start cultivating early and face the harsh reality."

"It seems... you firmly believe that I can't win?"

"Because in the future I've seen, the Order Heavenly Sword is very important to you, although I haven't seen how exactly it's important. But if you lose that sword, if you lose the inheritance on that sword, I don't think you can achieve victory."

His voice was old and firm, as if he was stating an irrefutable truth.

This firmness made Chen Xi very uncomfortable.

But he couldn't come up with anything to say now.

It would just be something like believing in himself and that he would definitely succeed.

"Then, Senior, I still want to ask you something."

"Go ahead. But I've been dead for too long, so I might not know what you want to ask. Don't have too high expectations."

"I want to ask about the Gu family. I want to know how strong the Gu family really is."

Chen Xi knew that the stronger the powerful, the more they feared the Gu family.

So as the Order Daozu, a powerful existence, how much did he know about the Gu family?

"The Gu... family? The opponent you want to defeat, is it Gu Lingxiao?"

"Senior knows Gu Lingxiao? Isn't he a person of the present world? Did you see him in the past?"

The Order Daozu didn't answer him, but began to mutter to himself:

"So that's how it is, so that's how it is... Is that little girl also part of his plan?"

"What?"

"...It's nothing, just thought of some unpleasant things." The Order Daozu instantly understood everything. "If you want to ask me about the Gu family, I will tell you everything I know. And by the way, I will tell you about Gu Lingxiao."
