[TheTavius08: Are you theo because your stand proud you're strong,or are you nah id win because you're theo?]

…

The soul looked at Theo for a moment before sitting in front of him, wondering what he had to say.

"Theodore Griffith and this is my daughter, Mia Griffith."

"Fist Emperor Luo Tian." The soul introduced himself with a solemn expression.

Theo smiled before raising two fingers. "Originally, I had two purposes. First, I want to experience what kind of things this world can offer. And to do that…"

"My tomb is perfect since my strength is similar to your level." Luo Tian nodded in understanding.

"Yes. And the second purpose is none other than to learn something about Dao."

"Learning the Dao?" Luo Tian looked surprised by this purpose. "What do you wish to know about Dao? You should know that Dao is the original power of this world. I can't simply teach it to anyone else without learning their purpose. You might use this power to destroy the world, who knows?"

"It seems that you are already aware of the fact that this world is connected to other worlds." Theo smiled. It was surprising for someone who was supposed to have died hundreds of years ago to know about something happening not long ago.

Luo Tian pointed up. "My old friend told me about it in the past. There was some sort of movement in this world. He couldn't explain it at that time, but when I saw you, I could somehow understand what happened."

"Interesting." Theo looked down, thinking for a moment. "How long ago was it?"

"Approximately 800 years ago."

"I see." Theo sighed. "Sorry, but I can't come up with anything."

"No, it's fine. Now that I have understood the purpose of your visit, I would like to know what you're planning to do with the Dao. Depending on your answer, I might have to fight you."

Theo raised his hand, showing the sword.

"Hmm?" Luo Tian felt something was wrong with this sword. Theo's illusion was also a weird power that made him think that this sword actually came from the same world. "May I know why you showed me this sword?"

"If you take a close look, my power and this sword power are not from the same world. In fact, there are a total of ten worlds connected to each other right now. The first power I showed you is my original power. This sword is the second power, and the third…"

Theo raised all his fingers as he began manufacturing a pattern with his essence, gradually expanding it.

After reaching a certain mark, the pattern began to glow, creating a translucent barrier that isolated them from the outside.

"This is… array? No, this complexity is not it." Luo Tian shook his head helplessly. "I see. The third power. So, you're trying to imply that you are trying to gather these powers?"

"Yeah. One power for every world. Of course, I have no intention of destroying any worlds unless the worlds are the ones attacking me first."

Luo Tian contemplated. Theo didn't seem to be lying, but at the same time, Luo Tian had to carefully consider whether this knowledge could be divulged to outsiders or not.

After a minute, Luo Tian asked, "What do you want to know about the Dao?" Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

"You're not going to ask me other questions about my motive?"

"After looking at your power, I can somehow imagine you using these powers to learn about the Dao. It doesn't have to be me. There are still plenty of strong figures who would understand it in this world. So, I don't see any reason in stopping you from learning this power."

"Thank you." Theo raised three fingers. "I have three questions about the Dao. How many Dao does this world have? I mean, can you see or feel what Dao is present and which one is not?"

"There are approximately three thousand Dao. But before continuing on this topic, I think I should tell you about the basics. What do you think Dao is?"

"Dao is the basis of the creation itself. Without it, this world won't be able to be born. But I'm not sure whether the Dao is ever changing or not."

Luo Tian smiled. "Everchanging, huh? If only the Dao was such a thing… it would have been great for me and anyone else. Unfortunately, the Dao itself is fixed. And because of this, the people in this world have a hard time changing.

"Do you know how old I was before dying?" Luo Tian paused for a moment, seeing Theo shake his head. "I was around 1,100 years old. There were some who reached 1,500 years old. Because of our long lifespan, we are usually not bothered by the secular world. At the same time, our sense of time was distorted so we couldn't have a great change in a short period of time.

"And it's similar to the Dao. They are fixed and won't change. In other words, you have to find your own Dao from what the world has."

Theo thought for a moment. "How do you find this Dao? I'm not very sure about it myself, but when I'm pondering about it, it's said that I have a distortion phenomenon around my body."

"A phenomenon, huh? You're pretty close to getting your Dao. That distortion is a symbol or a hint from the world to tell you that you are about to get one. Unfortunately, it seems that you haven't finalized your thoughts and got that Dao. And there is one more problem that I can see from you."

"And that is…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows.

"You are not the natives of this world, so you don't cultivate like us. I could see a faint Dantian, but I don't think it's something we have, right?"

"It's something you all have, but I alter it to match my body."

"In that case, that's probably the reason why you're so close to getting your own Dao. Your body has a bit of 'cultivation' and your comprehension is already extremely high. However, please take a look at this." Luo Tian fell silent as he began conjuring his energy.

Theo was calm at first, but soon he noticed that while his body was covered in energy, there was something on top of him. It was like a threat that pierced through the building. He didn't know where the threat went, but he could make some guesses.

"A connection to the world?"

"Yes. This is what we call the Heavenly Way. Because you are not a native of my world, you won't receive this threat."

"So, are you saying that I won't be able to get the Dao?"

"Not at all. This is the connection I have with my world, but the fact that you can trigger the phenomenon means that you also have a connection to this world. And I'm assuming the cause is actually your version of Dantian. In fact, all people have this kind of connection to the world.

"The more they cultivate, the stronger their Dantian becomes. And obviously, it will widen this connection. And if you add your comprehension, it will become even more visible. So, for you, I believe that you have a connection, but because of your circumstances, your connection is probably so thin that it's not visible to the naked eye."

Theo closed his eyes for a moment. If what he said was true, it meant that he could still get the Dao and was already close to it. What he needed was to finalize his thoughts.

"I see. Then, my last question: What do you think about Dao itself?"

"Hmm?" Luo Tian raised his eyebrows, certainly not expecting this kind of question. "Dao, huh? If I were to define it myself, I'd say Dao is like a wish. While Dao is truly the essence of the world's creation, for humans, Dao is like a parent.

"They teach us about the world, nature, and everything this world has to offer. My Fist Dao shows me that I can destroy things with my hand. At the same time, it's also allowing me to understand that while it's able to destroy things, if I just open this fist, I can embrace the people I love with care and warmth.

"In that case, Dao itself is like a wish. What kind of path do I want to follow? Do I wish for its destruction? Do I wish for protection? Personally, I do both of them. I maintain their balance."

Theo fell silent for a moment. On the one hand, it looked like the Dao was something different than he originally thought. On the other hand, it didn't seem to be that hard to acquire the Dao.

"I see. Thank you very much." Theo smiled.

"Are you going to make a breakthrough?"

"As much as I want to, I don't think this place is appropriate."

"If you wish for it, I can respect your decision and prevent anyone from learning about it. However, I would like you to fulfill my requests as well."

"A request, huh?" Theo had a goal in mind, so it would be troublesome if he had to visit another place to do something.

"Ah. The requests are pretty simple. I simply want to request a Dao Exchange."

"A Dao Exchange?"

"Yes. It's a tradition where we 'discuss' with our own Dao."

Theo smiled, thinking why he couldn't just say they should fight.

"Also, I hope that you don't do anything to my successor. Of course, I will tell my successor not to harm you and your daughter either."

"That's simple."

"Then, the last request is for you to exit this world without any trouble. You have killed a lot of people recently and I don't have a doubt that they will find you and chase you. Hence, I will create a passage for you to leave in a different direction, and I hope that you can leave this world without creating a bigger problem."

"I have one more destination, but it's not related to humans. However, I will do my best not to create extensive damage. In fact, it will be wonderful if we can fight and talk nicely like this."

"That's good enough." Luo Tian nodded, satisfied. "In that case, let me activate the power of this building to ensure that no one will feel anything from this room."
