After receiving the message from Guangyue, Ling Chen wasted no time in executing his next move. He decided to relocate all living beings across the Heavens and Myriad Realms to Taoyuan Island, ensuring that the outsiders, in their desperation, would not harm the innocent. In the conflicts of the powerful, ordinary beings rarely have the luxury of choice, or even the qualification to pick a side. Ling Chen could not bear to see them one day inexplicably turned into nothing more than dust in the wind, vanishing into obscurity.
As one matures, one's perspective shifts with the growth of one's strength. While Ling Chen did not possess his father’s profound sense of mission—the willingness to sacrifice his life and family to protect a patch of land—he had become a Sage of the Heavens and Myriad Realms, remembered and praised by all. He felt a duty to do something for them.
In his youth, his world was limited to himself; if someone displeased him, he sought revenge. Later, entering university, he learned the meaning of "collective honor." Haicheng University had not failed him, and the principal and Sister Mu Wan had shielded and accommodated him at every turn. In return, he represented Haicheng University in the provincial competition and seized the championship. During the subsequent Global Trial, the hopes of many rested upon him. His sense of collective honor expanded from a single university to the entire nation.
