The being in front of him had something akin to a halo on his head and four pairs of white wings on his back. Yhwh recognized him as a member of the well known angel race.
They were a race that owned an entire universe, similar to the Ipth, but far more powerful.
It was said that their most powerful being was beyond any known cultivator.
Yoha walked up to him. "It seems you practice a power different from cultivation. Mind if I take a look?"
Yhwh was shocked. No matter how powerful, nobody had ever recognized that he was truly not a cultivator. He had also avoided saying that he wasn't as time passed.
The fact that this Yoha could tell at a glance showed that he was even stronger than a sage.
Yhwh's thoughts tracked back as he remembered the legendary figure of the angel race.
He spoke his thoughts aloud. "Are you that legendary being of legend from the angel race?"
Yoha nodded. "That should be me."
Yhwh stood up and bowed. This was a powerful person that he could not compare to.
Yoha stopped him. "Just treat me like a curious bypasser. I can recognize that you're a good person and have no ill intentions towards you."
Yhwh nodded. If Yoha wanted to harm him, nobody could stop him.
Answering Yoha's earlier question, Yhwh held out his hand. On it were a few golden threads. Yhwh didn't know if Yoha would be able to see it, but Yoha's eyes lit up immediately.
"Incredible. As expected, I can't hardly understand it." Yoha said.
Yhwh stood still as Yoha looked at it. After a while he sighed. "That's enough. I'll have to ask you if you can talk to me about this once you reach my level."
Yhwh nodded. "If I ever were to reach such a level, I'd be glad to talk to you."
Yoha thanked him. "You belong to a special category of beings throughout the entire universe. As long as you do not die or forsake your path, you are destined to reach the absolute peak."
Yhwh thanked him for his words, though he didn't quite understand everything. Since he didn't ask any questions, Yoha didn't plan to explain himself.
After this, Yoha excused himself. "I don't want to interfere with your path too much. I'll go now."
Yhwh did not stop him, and Yoha left. As he left, Yhwh secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although Yoha seemed trustworthy, it was still hard to relax around such a powerful being.
For the Ipth patriarch, at least he could tell that he was overwhelmingly powerful. Yoha, on the other hand, seemed like a mortal no matter how much Yhwh looked at him.
In the residence, Zhou Fan was watching Yhwh from above. Suddenly, to his great shock, he felt something and averted his gaze.
"Impossible. Another path at the same time. Such a thing, its probability is basically zero." He mumbled.
Yhwh had not even fully grown yet, but another path creator had been born. And this one seemed far different from Yhwh.
The last two, Yhwh and Yoha, had created paths aligned to good, but this one had a deep darkness to it. Despite this deep darkness, there also seemed to be a light within, and Zhou Fan could barely see through this power at all.
—-------------------------------
Ye Li had been born on a mortal planet. This planet truly contained nothing but mortals. He was human, but he didn't feel human. The technology level on this world was barely enough to go to space, and most of the innovation in this world was for money making purposes or entertainment.
This forgotten world had no access to the cultivation manual and no contact with any other beings outside of the planet. For all they knew, they were alone in the universe, despite having many stories of alien creatures.
At this time, Ye Li was still technically a child, though he was soon to be an adult and his maturity level had far surpassed that of any adult.
Ye Li felt inwardly disgusted at human emotions, and usually maintained an emotionless facade. He simply lived from day to day, but as he lived, he always felt as if there was something more.
Inside, he felt that there must be some sort of existence, human or nonliving, that existed above the world and the universe itself.
After a long time, he began to live by an imaginary existence. He called this existence Karma.
As he lived, he always felt that things were predictable. Everything seemed to be dictated by this imaginary existence he called Karma. People would take actions and be surprised at the results, while he would have known them from the moment the actions were taken.
This Karma of his was described as cause and effect, and as he grew, he began to believe more and more in this imaginary existence. As he reached the age of 25, living a boring life, he felt that it was his duty to take care of Karma.
This was when he took his first human life. The person was horrible, but the law protected him as long as he was not convicted.
Ye Li knew that he would be thrown in prison for killing this man if it was discovered, but he knew it wouldn't be. From the Karma, this man deserved to die. If anything, he would receive a good result, a good effect from this cause.
This was when Ye Li truly separated good Karma and bad Karma. By doing bad things, bad things would happen to you. By doing good things, good things would happen. There was Karma in everything, and it was not often based on good and bad. For the vast majority of the time, Karma was neutral.
Ye Li understood this and rarely partook in good or bad Karma.
Everything in life was dictated by Karma, or cause and effect. By working out, one got stronger. By jumping, one would fall. By breathing, one would live.
As he lived by this imaginary existence, Karma, a faint, invisible silhouette began to appear above him.
