Chapter 3764 Doubting Oneself
After an indeterminate amount of time, the radiant rays gradually faded away. The clouds in the sky dispersed and even the moonlight drastically dimmed.
It seemed as though Kai had drained it, causing it to lose its luster.
With that, Kai gently descended onto the ground, his eyes slowly opening.
He remained a Third Level Tribulator. However, the aura emanating from him was absolutely breathtaking.
When Kai’s gaze swept over Bianca and the others, the holy maidens couldn’t help but kneel on the ground.
It felt as though they weren’t standing before Kai, but rather before the master of the universe himself, compelling them to kneel.
Even Nieva was deeply shaken, unsettled by the intensity of Kai’s gaze.
Realizing that something was amiss, Kai quickly reined in his otherworldly aura, casting a somewhat embarrassed glance toward Bianca and the others.
“Get up, all of you. We don’t have a hierarchy here. There’s no need to kneel,” Kai quickly said.
Bianca and the others were also overcome with embarrassment. It felt as if they had been controlled by someone else when their bodies involuntarily kneeled down.
“Everyone, go back and reflect on what I just said to you all.”
With a wave of her hand, Nieva dismissed all the disciples of Lunarius Palace.
After the disciples had left, Nieva cast a glance at Kai, her eyes revealing a hint of envy.
“Mr. Chance, congratulations on comprehending time nascence. You should know that it is the most difficult nascence to comprehend,” Nieva said.
“It’s all thanks to your guidance, Ms. Nieva. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to comprehend it,” said Kai hurriedly.
Though his understanding of time nascence wasn’t largely attributed to Nieva, Kai was still grateful that she had shared her wisdom generously.
Nieva chuckled, then shook her head. “What I’ve shared with you is insignificant. Your understanding of it was due to your own intellect. It would be wonderful if I wasn’t the master of Lunarius Palace. I could then cultivate alongside you right now. Perhaps I might gain a deeper understanding of time nascence
through you!”
Upon hearing this, Kai was instantly overwhelmed
He hadn’t anticipated that Nieva would harbor such thoughts. Back at the Seizon residence, Ozrell had taken an interest in his lineage and forced him to cultivate alongside Miya and Livya.
Later on, he encountered Catina, who was also drawn to his lineage. She relentlessly pressured him into cultivating together daily, treating him like a beast of burden.
And now, even Nieva harbored such thoughts, to Kai’s surprise.
Thus, he was at a loss for words.
Is it possible that relationships between men and women are only transactions, devoid of any emotions? The cultivators of Ethereal Realm value their spiritual cultivation more than anything else, even their emotions!
Nieva noticed Kai’s confusion and with a slight smile, she said, “In the face of enormous benefits, emotions are the most insignificant thing. Don’t delude yourself into thinking that in Ethereal Realm, you can win a woman’s affection and love. It’s all a sham. If you weren’t the Chosen One and didn’t have the
abilities you have now, how many women would really be willing to share their lives with you? They are willing to give themselves to you only because they can gain so much more from you. I’m no exception, do you understand?”
After Nieva finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Kai staring blankly at her silhouette.
Kai then pondered over her words.
Perhaps she is right! I have too many women in my life now. From Josephine back then to Catina now. I wonder how many of them truly loved me.
Kai found himself trapped in a whirlwind of self-doubt.
“Listen, kid, stop overthinking. Whether there’s love or not, it doesn’t matter. Whether it’s a mere transaction or a forced compromise, the bottom line is that the woman by your side has already given herself to you. As long as they care for you and are willing to risk it all for you, that’s all that matters.
Don’t concern yourself with whether she loves you or if she’s just leeching off you. It doesn’t matter. The hardest thing to decipher in this world is the love between a man and a woman, so don’t tie yourself into a knot over it.”
The words of Vermilion Demon Lord echoed out, snapping Kai out of his self-doubt.
