When Ning Tianya first saw the little guy, he was busy.
He stared at a black-and-white ball hanging in front of him, deep in thought like an adult.
Dressed in open-crotch pants, he assumed a particularly bold posture, bending over while sitting like a horse, his gaze unwavering.
In front of him, the black-and-white ball swung gently as it hung.
Below him, there was also a small lump swinging in the same manner.
Although the little guy's face was serious, the situation was far too comical for anyone witnessing it to maintain their seriousness.
Ning Tianya felt a mix of emotions but couldn't help but want to laugh. He held it in as he walked past the little guy...
"Cough, you little rascal..." Ning Tianya was quite frustrated. He had walked back and forth in front of him several times, and this kid had completely ignored him.
"Shh~~~" The little guy raised a finger, signaling him to be quiet.
Ning Tianya was momentarily taken aback.
The little guy pointed decisively to the side and shouted, "Stand over there and don’t make a sound."
Ning Tianya glared at him, feeling his eye twitch in disbelief.
Suddenly, a loud sound erupted, and Ning Tianya froze, his expression turning strange.
The little guy sighed, "Why is it that when you’re young, you have to fart every day? Although it doesn’t smell too bad to me, it’s really embarrassing when there are others around."
Ning Tianya's expression became even stranger, as if he had just swallowed a fart.
To be honest, that fart might have been a bit smelly, but Ning Tianya could tolerate it. However, this statement was outright unbearable for Ning Supreme...
"What are you doing?" Ning Tianya had no choice but to ask seriously.
The little guy had a deep expression on his face. "Look."
Ning Tianya followed his gaze, bewildered, and shook his head. "Huh?"
"Look..." The little guy said mysteriously, "Isn't this... very expressive?"
Ning Tianya furrowed his brow and tried to think from a philosophical perspective, but realized... where was the expression?
So he shook his head in confusion.
The little guy looked at him discontentedly. "Look. Doesn’t this look very much like a ball?"
Ning Tianya swallowed hard.
Then he rolled his eyes dramatically.
Like a ball? The thing I want to do most right now is to kick you like a ball!
That thing is clearly a ball!!
"This is a ball!" The little guy puffed out his cheeks. His face was so pink and cute, yet he wore a serious expression as he said, "But this is a world!"
"A world?" Ning Tianya's eyes widened.
"On it, there are both black and white," the little guy said casually. "Just like life. There is day and night, life and death. Just like this heaven and earth, there is sky and land, there is yin and yang!"
"Oh?" Ning Tianya couldn't help but look at the black-and-white ball hanging in front of him, observing it closely.
Indeed, it was black and white, with only those two colors, resembling two oddly shaped big fish. It even had an eye.
"But ultimately, life and death, yin and yang, heaven and earth, black and white, qi and kun, are all on the same ball!" The little guy said in a childlike voice.
Ning Tianya suddenly felt as if struck by lightning.
This statement, to an ordinary person, might sound trivial—just a common understanding.
But Ning Tianya was different.
Because he had already transcended life and death to a certain extent. Hearing such words at that moment completely captivated his mind.
Life and death, yin and yang, heaven and earth, all exist here!
Or perhaps, even in death, they still exist here, regardless of life or death, they cannot escape this realm!
What does this imply?
Ning Tianya suddenly felt a bit dazed.
While most people's daze might mean their thoughts were scattered, for Ning Tianya, reaching this state often indicated a moment of enlightenment.
In the next moment, Ning Tianya felt as though he had entered a wonderful state.
Tie Yang stared intently at Ning Tianya, who was lost in that chaotic state, his eyes filled with a strange light.
After a long time, he muttered, "Is it that people in this world are not just too poor, but also too gifted? While in another world... the streets are filled with supreme theories, but they can only serve as introductory textbooks... apart from reading and writing, they can think of nothing else."
