Chapter 163  : Profound Meaning Of Guardianship—Comprehended

The grief and sorrow one felt due to the death of a loved one could most inspire one’s will to guard and protect. Although this was a very harsh method, most people knew that what they imagined was fake. Therefore, they could tolerate this pain and sorrow. Initially, Lin Yao thought so as well.

However, in the process of recalling, his parents and friends, who he had lived with for more than 20 years in his previous life, suddenly appeared in his mind. He thought of the fact that he, their only son, had left the world, and his middle-aged parents had lost their child and had no one to rely on. Lin Yao felt terrible and could no longer carry on with his cultivation.

This was different from the anger he felt when he imagined that his parents had been killed by freaks. That was fake, but the latter was very real. More importantly, he knew it, and there was nothing he could do to change it.

In the end, Lin Yao buried his head in his hands for 20 minutes before calming down.

‘I must not despair. There are many mystic realms connected to this world. Perhaps I will find my way back home one day.’

Lin Yao finally calmed down by constantly consoling himself.

However, after waking up, he knew that he could not practice this method anymore. This could easily lead to depression. Other people could casually talk to their family members if they felt depressed, but Lin Yao would not be able to find his parents from his previous life in the near future.

‘I should use the second ‘big family’ to condense the guardian mark.’

The cultivation method of guarding the “big family” was even more difficult, but this was the only path that Lin Yao could take.

He opened his eyes, took the cell phone in his hands, and found countless videos of natural and man-made disasters caused by monsters raging in the world on the Internet.

Lin Yao watched as landslides, volcanic eruptions, torrential waves, and crashing meteorites caused human beings pain and misery. He felt sympathy for the loss of his kind, and he was extremely angry and furious when he saw how beasts fed on human beings.

Although those videos were terrifying, these situations were not completely desperate or helpless. When natural disasters became more frequent and more terrifying due to spirit energy, mankind would not sit around and wait for death. There were kings named after the sky that constantly hit meteorites at an altitude of 80,000 meters, a middle-aged man named Dragon King who controlled and suppressed the waves by himself, quelling the raging rivers, and a simple and honest old man who stood bare-footed on the ground, cracking open the earth to direct the peak discharge.

In addition to these powerhouses, whenever there was a natural disaster or monster attack, countless hot-blooded soldiers in military green uniforms would rush to the front line, building a Great Wall with their flesh and blood to block all impending disasters, ensuring that all mankind could live in peace.

Behind those soldiers, one could see volunteers from all walks of life. Some of them were skilled in medical treatment, some of them would send supplies, some of them would help defend the city… and so on.

Natural disasters were indeed terrible, but the invincible mental strength formed by all human beings was even more precious. Countless people were busy working to save others. The kings, the soldiers who stood erect like pines, and supporters from all walks of life all practiced the concept of guardianship, guarding the “big family” of China.

When he first watched the videos that showed the natural disasters, Lin Yao felt the vastness of heaven and earth and how insignificant human beings were. However, as he continued watching the videos and looked at the people who were busy helping each other, Lin Yao believed that human wisdom could prevail over nature and he developed empathy, as well as the will to guard and protect. This also made Lin Yao breathe a sigh of relief.

‘I have developed empathy within a short time. It seems that I am very suitable for developing the will to guard and protect. However, this is still a video. Besides, it’s been specially made by the government. If there is a chance in the future, I will visit scenes of devastation to experience this first-hand.’

Yes, these videos had been made by the government and were specifically used to guide and inspire the people’s will to guard and protect mankind.

The country had adopted an open-minded attitude toward martial arts. However, the government had reservations when it came to combat skills, and profound meanings were the foundation of various forces.

This was partly due to the natural developments in society and partly meant to ensure social stability.

No matter where one was in the world, if one was armed with weapons, one might have the intention to kill. Powerful martial artists would cause social unrest, and if one mastered offensive combat skills, one would bring about greater destruction. For this reason, the country had many restrictions on offensive martial arts.

However, apart from offensive combat skills, there were also defensive combat skills and healing combat skills in the world. The country was very accepting of these combat skills. For profound meanings that could help and protect others, the country had even specially created a video to guide everyone to practice. What they did would contribute to national stability.

Lin Yao benefited from this, and the video was indeed a good production.

The natural disasters at the beginning of the video were mighty and terrifying, and one felt as depressed as if doomsday was coming. Amid this depressing atmosphere, the kings arrived, shining a ray of hope onto everyone. Then, there was the indestructible Great Wall built by the hot-blooded soldiers with their flesh and blood, which put people at ease. Finally, people from all walks of life helped in whatever ways they could, working with the military to save mankind.

The video had taken care of all aspects and could indeed ignite this spark within everyone, enabling them to believe that unity was strength and feel the real meaning of guardianship.

However, even the best video was only a video. It was not that easy to comprehend the profound meaning without actually experiencing it. ‘Wait, why do I feel like I have understood something?’

His mind jolted, and the guardian holy seal shone brightly on the Sun God Pattern on Lin Yao’s chest. A huge amount of energy poured into the holy seal, and he was surrounded and illuminated by divine light.

The divine light was three feet long at first, protecting Lin Yao like a golden divine incantation, but soon, with bursts of illusory childish sounds, the light that surrounded Lin Yao was contained.

When the three-foot-long light disappeared, a piece of light armor solidified on Lin Yao’s body.

The armor was very simple, but Lin Yao was in a daze upon seeing it. No matter how simple it was, it was also a holy garment. It was not illusory. It was a real holy garment.

Clang…

Lin Yao hit the holy garment with his arms, and it felt solid and tangible to the touch.

‘How is it possible? I don’t have a good comprehension ability. Could I possibly have comprehended the meaning of guardianship after watching the video once? Isn’t this exclusive to geniuses?’

Lin Yao was stunned, and Qin Ya, who was next to him, also noticed the changes in him. She stood up in shock after seeing the holy garment on him.

She went around him twice and even touched the armor on Lin Yao. She then realized that it was not an item but the solidification of his combat skills. A second later, her voice changed significantly.

“You are indeed a diamond genius. Mr. Lin, you have really given me a shock this time.”

“It’s not just you. I’m shocked as well.” Lin Yao clasped his forehead with one hand, and his voice sounded doubtful. “Would you believe me if I told you that I don’t know what’s going on?”

“Huh?”

“I comprehended it after watching the video once. I don’t have such a good comprehension ability.”

Upon hearing what Lin Yao said, Qin Ya thought for a while, looked at the video on Lin Yao’s cell phone, and then actually had an answer to his question.

“There’s no doubt about it. Mr. Lin, there is nothing odd about your profound meaning of guardianship. You deserve it.”

Seeing that Lin Yao was still clueless and wanted to know more, Qin Ya turned on her working computer and pointed to the chart on it, as she smiled at Lin Yao. “Look at this information. These are the results of your hard work in the past few days. You have done simple repair work for 13 elementary and middle schools, sent toys and learning materials to 20 orphanages, went to Tianhai City to bring warmth to the people who suffered due to the disaster, and you plan to invest 100 million yuan in Project Hope.

“You have almost spent your entire fortune on those children. You tried really hard in the competition to get a higher ranking and work with dojos to make money so you can invest it in social welfare facilities. If you don’t deserve to understand the profound meaning of guardianship, who else is qualified to do so?”

After listening to Qin Ya’s explanation and thinking about the childish voice that had been formed by the holy garment just now, Lin Yao was almost convinced by Qin Ya.

However, he soon felt that it was wrong. He had indeed done the things that Qin Ya had said, but he had selfish intentions for doing those good deeds. Lin Yao doubted that he could condense the profound meaning of guardianship.

This was really difficult. A profound meaning was the combination of one’s body, heart, will, and mind. It was the power to delve into one’s own strength and the most difficult thing for people to deceive themselves about.

However, Lin Yao, who had this thought in mind, was unaware that his biggest characteristic was arrogance, which was a representation of Lucifer.

However, unlike Lucifer’s unwillingness to kneel down and worship the Son of God, Lin Yao’s arrogance was manifested through his wish to become the savior of the world with his own power and his belief that only he could become the strongest person in this world and he was the only one who could save the world.

The arrogance of such a transmigrator was certainly a problem, However, there was no doubt that after becoming the strongest person in the world, Lin Yao was not thinking about conquering everything but about saving the world from this crisis. The savior was considered the last and greatest guardian in the world.

Lin Yao, who had such willpower and had once participated in night patrols to ensure the stability of the world and had personally saved countless children and brought them real warmth, was naturally able to comprehend the profound meaning of guardianship easily and smoothly.

His understanding did not start now. He’d had this idea ever since the awakening of the system. He had been laying the foundation for this for one month. As the saying went, good preparation was the key to success. He had prepared for ages and hence was able to succeed in one moment.

Lin Yao did not realize that this arrogance was shared by almost all the transmigrators.

He did not know that the arrogance of wanting to save the world was, in fact, the source of comprehending the profound meaning of guardianship. Fortunately, he was not a person who had to understand the logic behind something before doing it. Since he was clueless, he simply did not care about this. Instead, he wanted to test the strength of his holy seal.

However, before he was able to test it, Qin Ya shouted in surprise again.

“It has been a minute, and your profound meaning is still there?”

“What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”

Seeing the bewildered look on Lin Yao’s face, Qin Ya suppressed her shock and pretended to be nonchalant.

“It’s nothing.”

How could it be okay? Qin Ya remembered clearly that at the low level, the profound meaning could not be used as a regular move but as a hidden trump card.

Take the holy light garment for example. One would consume a lot of energy to condense a tangible holy garment.

Although the energy needed to maintain the holy garment was not as much as the energy needed to condense it, the holy garment would still require a lot of energy to cover the entire body. However, Lin Yao hardly sensed any energy loss, which was very scary.

‘How many vital energy seeds are there in your body? I am a warlord, but I am not as relaxed as you.’

Qin Ya was a little skeptical about life due to Lin Yao.

If Lin Yao knew what was on her mind, he would have told her that it was due to the power of light. When there was sun in the day, a warlord was indeed inferior to him.

Thanks to the absorption of light, which was at full level, the Armored Body Of Light LV7, and the territory of the Lord of Light, which had a diameter of 100 meters, the power of his light attribute abilities was beyond imagination.

However, after a while, there was an odd expression on his face again.

“Qin Ya, our agreement has to change.”

Qin Ya narrowed her eyes instantly upon hearing these words. She had a bad feeling. However, the more worried she felt, the calmer her voice was.

“You want to change the agreement? As long as you are willing to pay liquidated damages, the contract can be terminated.”

Lin Yao stared intently at Qin Ya. There was no violent anger in her voice or any changes in her expression. He then shrugged, feeling bored.

“It’s not interesting at all.”

Qin Ya had yet to respond when he clarified. “I’m referring to the agreement to use one sword move.”

“One sword move? This certainly has to change.”
