Chu Yang pondered for a long time and suddenly felt he had nothing to say.
Faced with a Demon King whose cultivation level was millions of times higher than his own, and whose experiences were also far more tragic, what could Chu Yang say?
He originally thought that his own experiences were already tragic enough; but then he realized that there was a sense of self-inflicted suffering in his own situation.
He never expected this legendary Demon King would experience such a fate; it was entirely unwarranted disaster, and an entire clan had disappeared in a manner that was utterly inexplicable and extremely frustrating.
While he had been reborn immediately, this fellow had been trapped and frustrated for a hundred thousand years before finally finding an opportunity, and his spiritual seed had been occupied by a newly born soul...
After a long time, Chu Yang let out a bitter smile: “Your experiences… truly leave me speechless; it’s so tragic that even sympathy feels impossible.”
Tan Tan chuckled, “I don’t complain about anything. You all might think it's tragic, but I just think it’s a matter of skills not being up to par!” He laughed heartily and shouted, “Since my skills are lacking, I deserve it!”
Chu Yang fell silent.
These words were indeed equally irrefutable and impossible to agree with, leaving him speechless.
After a long while, Chu Yang said, “It must be your style; or rather... even if there wasn’t such a person, you would still end up defeated by yourself.”
“Why?” Tan Tan raised an eyebrow.
“Because you leave no room for others; even if you say one word, you have already blocked any potential responses from others, leaving them only able to listen to you without any opportunity to express their own views. To some extent, this might be a way to preemptively read your opponents, but in certain matters, it unconsciously creates a deadlock!”
Chu Yang smiled slightly.
From Tan Tan’s words, Chu Yang could clearly analyze that this guy left no space for others to react or engage in dialogue.
After hearing his words, others could only sigh in silence, utterly at a loss for how to respond.
Such a person was someone Chu Yang had never seen in his two lifetimes.
This was no longer dominance; it was obsession.
Chu Yang thought Tan Tan would not care about his words or might even get angry, but unexpectedly, after listening, Tan Tan deeply contemplated for a while, and after a long time, he nodded and said, “You’re right.”
He smiled, “My personality is just like this; I leave no leeway for others, hehe... However, if I left room for everyone in everything, then would I still be myself?”
Chu Yang couldn’t help but smile.
This statement still felt strange, leaving no room for interruption or dialogue.
“Now, we should discuss our grievances.” Tan Tan’s smile faded slightly, replaced with solitude and desolation.
“Our grievances.” Chu Yang nodded, “Indeed, we have grievances between us.”
“No matter how you put it, regardless of how much hardship you endured for this body, this body ultimately belongs to my brother; he is the one favored by heaven and earth, and I believe you won’t deny this.”
Tan Tan waved his hand, “From now on, this body still belongs to him. His current strength is far from enough for me to fully awaken and completely take over this body, so what are you afraid of?”
“And now, after experiencing the Five Poisons Reincarnation Smoke, he has begun to access my memories and slowly awaken. This is significantly beneficial for his own strength growth. What are you dissatisfied with?”
Chu Yang was silent and asked, “Then when will you be able to fully awaken?”
Tan Tan paused for a moment, then said, “Perhaps, it will be when he reaches saint level ninth rank... or above.”
“Supreme?” Chu Yang exclaimed.
“Perhaps.” A hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of Tan Tan's mouth.
“Only when he can withstand the full impact of my spiritual mark can the two souls completely merge into one. At that time, he will have the memories of two lifetimes.”
