Fantasy Antagonist: After I Acted Lazy, The Protagonist Went Off The Rails.

Seeing Dugu Yun continuously exhaling, Canglao felt helpless. It seems that he is not considered conservative after all. If he were more conservative, Dugu Yun might not have suffered so much.

"Disciple, you don't need to think too much!"

"There have been countless geniuses who have been called the Young Emperor throughout the long years."

"These proud talents shine like the morning sun, but often fall like shooting stars!"

"Do you know why?"

I have to say, Canglao still has his ways.

He quickly calmed Dugu Yun down and aroused his curiosity, diverting his thoughts from the previous matters.

"Why?"

Dugu Yun curiously asked.

"It's because they are too dazzling!"

"Just as a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind, the same applies to people!"

"Gaining fame is certainly good, but it often makes one a target. Especially since Jiang Chen has also killed two ancient imperial clan geniuses, he is destined to be targeted by these two ancient imperial clans. In addition, other forces will not let Jiang Chen go. Once Jiang Chen shows the slightest flaw, the strong from various forces will make their move!"

"Throughout the long years, there have been too many fallen geniuses, countless!"

"Back then, I was just an unknown pawn like you, but as the people in front of me died one by one, I survived and even reached the realm of Great Saint. If it weren't for some mistakes, I might have already broken through the limits of the Saint realm and stepped onto the Emperor's path that countless people yearn for!"

"So, don't be confused by Jiang Chen's current reputation!"

"An existence like him is destined to face great danger and be targeted by countless strong individuals. Even the Holy Son of Absolute Beginning would find it difficult to survive!"

"Although the Holy Son of Absolute Beginning has a lofty status, he is not invincible!"

"Back then, I witnessed two Holy Sons of Absolute Beginning fall. Although they were not as good as Jiang Chen, they were only slightly inferior and were still killed by others!"

Canglao said with a somewhat disdainful tone.

This is also something he can be proud of.

To go from an unknown pawn to one of the top powerhouses in the Nine Heavens Realm is something that no one could have predicted.

Even Canglao himself never thought he would reach this level.

Regarding this, he naturally has some arrogance in his heart and looks down on those so-called top forces' geniuses.

Because in his opinion, being too dazzling is equivalent to seeking death.

"Teacher is right!"

Dugu Yun started to ponder and found Canglao's words reasonable.

Although gaining fame is good, it is also dangerous.

It is easy to be resented by others.

"Do you know about the Eternal Emperor?"

Seeing that Dugu Yun is quite knowledgeable, Canglao continued to ask.

"Of course!"

"The Eternal Emperor was once an unknown pawn, unknown to anyone. But he became stronger and stronger through battles and eventually defeated everyone, becoming the Emperor!"

Dugu Yun immediately responded.

The name of the Eternal Emperor resounded throughout the entire Nine Heavens Realm.

And the Eternal Emperor is also a very special Emperor.

He didn't have unparalleled talent, and he was even just an ordinary person.

But he relied on his ordinary body to forcefully carve out a path, eventually stepping into the highest position of Emperor.

"If the Eternal Emperor in the past had shone as brightly as Jiang Chen, do you think he could have made it to the end?"

"The Eternal Emperor was only truly known when he reached the realm of the Saint King, becoming famous in the Nine Heavens Realm!"

"But in the end, he still became the winner!"

"For this, it doesn't matter if he was unknown before. The process was arduous and boring, but what matters is the process!"

"If there is no good ending, what's the use of a beautiful process?"

"Do you want a good ending, or do you want a beautiful process with a regrettable ending?"

With a low and aged voice, carrying a certain power, it resonated in the depths of the heart, intimidating the soul.

"Of course, I want a good ending!"

Dugu Yun immediately responded.

He was extremely self-righteous and firmly believed that he would become the supreme powerhouse in the future.

He had never wavered in this belief.

If someone were to ask him what level of powerhouse he would become in the future, Dugu Yun would definitely reply, "Emperor."

He might even become a supreme true immortal.

"I understand, Master!"

"I will not be influenced by Jiang Chen!"

"Even if Jiang Chen has a position and reputation that I envy, it doesn't matter!"

"What matters is who will ultimately reach the end!"

"Even if I am currently unknown, as long as I reach the best outcome in the end, others will only remember me, not Jiang Chen!"

Dugu Yun's face was full of smiles, confidently speaking.

"A young person can be taught!"

The aged one was extremely pleased.

Finally, he managed to bring this kid's state of mind back.

Although doing so made this kid even more self-righteous, it was more important to prevent him from losing his direction.

"Don't worry, Master. I will become an Emperor, renowned throughout eternity, revered by billions of living beings. Even after countless ages, I will be remembered, while Jiang Chen will be completely forgotten, like ripples in time."

Dugu Yun grew more and more confident as he spoke.

As if these were the future steps.

"I believe in you!"

The aged one outwardly agreed, but inwardly sighed.

There were still some things he hadn't mentioned.

Even though the Emperor of Eternity was worth aspiring to, they were few in number.

Throughout the long ages, there had only been one Emperor of Eternity.

As for the other Emperors, they all displayed extraordinary talent from the beginning.

Most Emperors were invincible from the start to the end.

Invincible at the same level, with no opponents.

"My disciple!"

"Although countless geniuses pass by like shooting stars, most of them eventually become fixed in the starry sky, shining throughout eternity, never dimming!"

"And most people have never shone in the starry sky, from beginning to end, not a single one. Only a few people briefly shine for a period of time, but ultimately fade away. Your Master is also such a person!"

"I wonder if Jiang Chen will pass by like a shooting star, or if he will shine in the starry sky like those Emperors, dazzling throughout eternity!"

"I also wonder if you will live an ordinary life, never shining, or if you will shine for a period of time like your Master, but ultimately fade away!"

The aged one silently said in his heart.

The words he just said were only meant to inspire Dugu Yun.

But inwardly, he had very little hope for Dugu Yun.

There was no way.

The more one experienced, the more one knew.

One would understand that some people's starting point was a destination that others could never reach in their lifetime, let alone the possibility of overtaking on a bend.
