In merely half a month, what happened to Lu An had spread across the Chaotic Star Region, which was beyond the expectations of the Lu Alliance. Basically, the response was positive.
Many people praised Lu Li for his love for his name, for his selflessness, and for being a righteous and honorable hero …
The feedback from the interfaces of the God of Death was full of cheers and praises.
Lu Ling and the others did some analysis. They believed that what Lu Li did could not diminish his prestige at all. On the contrary, his prestige among the people had reached its peak. Lu Li had become the real soul of the Grim Reaper, the uncrowned king.
The reason was simple. Everywhere was a pyramid. The 10 giants were at the top of the pyramid and the average civilians were at the bottom.
They were at the bottom of the food chain. They were used to being bullied. Deep in their bones, they were in awe of power and powerlessness. Nobody wanted to subvert or fight back.
In this world, the strong ruled. Victory could not be achieved by numbers.
A warrior of the sixth tribulation could kill tens of millions of civilians, not to mention the emperors and Saint Emperors who were close to the consummate realm.
Therefore, in this world, if you were weak, you had to put up with it. If the powerful wanted to kill you, you had to accept it.
You had nowhere to appeal and nobody could stand up for you. Even if you prayed to the gods day and night, the gods would not send down thunderbolts to kill the bad guys.
Things like Lu An and the others were happening everywhere in the Heavenly Chaotic Star Territory.
It was not a big deal. When those nearby smaller races heard about it, they only expressed their anger. They didn't even dare to say anything in public. They were numb to it and used to it.
Lu Li had done well. He could have just given some compensation to those smaller races, let alone punish Lu An and the others.
The civilians at the bottom would think Lu Li was a wise ruler, a good leader and a benevolent king.
For this, Lu Li was willing to kill his own son and cut off his own flesh.
In the eyes of many of the lower-class citizens, this matter was simply unimaginable, like a fantasy story.
When the news was confirmed, the civilians at the bottom were touched. They shed tears of gratitude.
The civilians at the bottom were the easiest to be satisfied. As long as they could live, as long as they could be given hope, they would be satisfied and would support you.
What happened to Lu Li this time made many people feel that he was a wise king, a king worthy of their support.
If they didn't support such a king, who should they support?
Were they supposed to support those experts who bullied and exploited them every day?
Not only did the lower echelons react well, but even the upper echelons also applauded.
None of the powerful warriors said anything bad about Lu Li. Even though the higher-ups were all rulers, they were not at the top.
Lu Li was upholding the rules, which reassured them. As long as they did their work honestly, nothing unfair would happen as long as Lu Li was there.
Of course …
At the end of the day, it was because of Lu Li's power and status.
If it was any other giant or an elder, there would definitely be hissing sounds of praise and criticism.
When you had absolute power and authority, no one would dare to be dissatisfied with you or speak ill of you.
That was the case in the Chaotic Star Region. Lu Li had just returned from the Rhinoceros Ape Race. None of the major races dared to provoke Lu Li.
After this incident, many patriarchs and Family Patriarchs praised Lu Li in public and said all kinds of good things about him.
Secretly, many powerful warriors spoke ill of Lu Li, saying that he was putting on a show, that he was cold-blooded, that he was a lunatic …
When Lu Li came back, he went back to his castle. He activated the Divine Glyphs and refused to see anyone.
He didn't care about what people were saying. He needed to heal and to reflect on himself.
Over the years, Lu An had lacked love and care. He had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father.
He planned to spend some time to train Lu An after he rebuilt his body.
Jiang Qiling and the other twins were worried. Lu An had shown some signs years ago but they never told Lu Li. They had been trying their best to cover for Lu An.
They would teach Lu An but he was an adult now. He wouldn't listen to them. A loving mother could spoil a child.
The God of Death had many treasures to rebuild the body. Two months later, Emperor of Feather would help Lu An rebuild his body. He himself had done it once and was experienced.
After more than a month, a reborn Lu An appeared. He looked just like the old Lu An but he didn't have a realm. He had to start all over again.
This time, the treasures used were top-notch. Lu An's body was strong enough to be comparable to a warrior of the Fifth Tribulation. This was a blessing in disguise.
Lu Li had told him that after Lu An's body was rebuilt, he must be locked up in the Valley of Condemnation so that he could reflect on himself.
Therefore, Emperor of Feather only told Jiang Qiling and the other twins to come and meet him before he took Lu An to the Valley of Condemnation.
The Valley of Condemnation was a place to imprison prisoners. The natural gravity here was strong. Prisoners here had to bear the pressure of gravity at all times. Naturally, they would not have an easy life.
Lu An was not powerful enough. Fortunately, his body was strong enough to withstand the gravity in the Valley of Condemnation. That being said, it wasn't easy.
Lu An was locked up in a prison on a cliff in the Valley of Condemnation. Emperor of Feather brought him there in person. When Lu An was locked up, Emperor of Feather stood outside and threw in an Interspatial Ring.
Emperor of Feather solemnly said, "Lu An, you can be reborn because your father gave you the flesh on his arm.
Now that you are reborn, forget the past and be a new man.
Let me tell you this — as your father's son, it doesn't matter whether you are powerful or not. No matter how powerful you are, you cannot be more powerful than your father. None of us can, let alone you.
If you want to be a good son to your father and be respected, then you must be a good man with dignity! "
Lu An was suppressed by the gravity. Lying on the ground, he found it hard to breathe. He looked up and asked, "Grandpa Yu, how can I be a good man?"
"Sincerity, courage, kindness, perseverance, self-confidence, responsibility, perseverance, and so on. Your father has many good qualities that you should learn from!"
Emperor of Feather added after some thoughts, "The simplest example is that you are in a difficult situation but you don't want to give up. Instead, you are courageous and energetic.
You can start from nothing, stand up again, cultivate again in a short time, and impress everyone. That is a success. "
Lu An thought for a while and nodded. "Thank you, Grandpa Yu. I understand now.
I was a disgrace to my father. Now that I am reborn, I will stand up again and wash away this shame. "
"You are worth teaching!"
Emperor of Feather nodded in satisfaction. He thought for a while and advised again, "How far a person can go has a lot to do with talent, diligence, and personality. However, the world has actually forgotten one thing, and that is fate.
Whether a person can stand at the peak of the martial dao, half of it depends on talent, diligence, personality, and so on. The other half depends on fate.
"Your father is a person with great fate. You don't have to think about surpassing your father. We have never thought about surpassing him. A person with great fate like him is hard to find even one in a billion people.
It is the same for all the Great Perfection realm martial artists. Every one of them is a person with great fate. Fate is something that should not be forced. If it is yours, it will not run away. If it is not yours, then you have to accept your fate.
Don't compare yourself with others. Just be yourself, and that is enough … "
