The Urban Dao Child

While Laohu Bai was trying to appease the Dao Child. Aldeon was busy running through the palace. He was instructed to set up a gathering in the square in front of the palace. Similar to the one Yang Dao held in the Kingdom of Light.

The old minister dared not slack off in the arrangements. He had some idea of what sort of change the nation will face after the gathering at the square. to be honest, he was even looking forward to the new kingdom. He came to the infirmary to find the old King. Yes, after the king was taken to the infirmary yesterday, the black hair turned white and the appearance became old.

Thus the people immediately started calling him the old king. It was as if the man had taken a dip in the river of time. All the past years washed over him in just a few seconds. However, the man still regained his vitality and gave people a sense of awe and dread.

Aldeon came to the side of his bed, while the old man stared at the ceiling. The minister of war said, "Your majesty, the arrangements are complete. Shall we proceed to the place?"

The old man sighed as he closed his eyes and sat up from the bed. He said in a low voice, "The times have changed, a new sun will shine upon the lands."

Aldeon nodded solemnly at this and took accompanied the old man to the square. The other ministers had all appeared already, A contingent of soldiers was posted below the elevated pedestal to maintain order among the people. Everyone saw Aldeon leading an old man and the crowd started to whisper among themselves.

Seid, the king, sighed and said in a loud voice, "Silence." despite his appearance, the strength was enough to deter the masses. he did not speak anymore and came to the sit designated to him. He sat down and waited for Yang Dao.

...

While some people hoped for the Child of Chronicles to change the ways in the kingdom, some also hoped for him to let them stay like it was already. Yang Dao was unaware of all this and he walked to the high platform with Laohu Bai in tow.

The lady had a hard time coaxing this big guy. He was a natural at blackmailing. He asked Laohu Bai to cook her best dish for him. The white-haired beauty had no option but to agree to it. Under a lot of mixed gazes, they climbed the high pedestal.

The crowd was excited to see Yang Dao on the stage. The boy had fair skin and deep penetrating eyes. He said, "Today I come here to say a few things to you all. I know some may feel that I am bullying too much by this but what I am going to the state will show you the reality."

The weaker people all had a spark in their eyes. The moment they all longed for had finally arrived. Yang Dai said, "The system of your kingdom, needs to be rectified thoroughly to ensure balance. You all have been living in a place where strength is the criteria deciding your privileges and rights. You are wrong. It does not matter how much strength you have. What matters is how you use it.

Ever since I have stepped inside this kingdom, I have found how the people with strength bully those who lack it. Do you think strength is invincible? Well, let me give you an example.

You are sleeping in your room, and you have no vigilance because you are strong. But a servant in your house, who did not have the strength to even look in your eyes, sneaks in and stabs you with a poisoned knife. Tell me do you want to die without even knowing it? Those who misuse the strength they have often meet a bad end.

So give up the pretense, start using your strength for the welfare of those around you and be a better human being. Let the people on the lower level raise their heads, become idols, inspire them to grow along with you. Those who become inspirations live forever, those who are arrogant die untimely. The choice is yours."

The correction needed in the kingdom of the dark was very minimalist because the only thing that needed to be mended was discrimination. The laws and the other things are very much in order here already. A few people with strength would have objected if Seid, the king would have been the winner but Yang Dao's strength was enough to quench the rebellion and kill them.

Within fifteen minutes the people accepted the new laws Yang Dao suggested. The laws he came up with were to provide the poor and weak with a fair chance to excel. He also suggested that once the reparations have been paid the people must not seek vengeance. If the vengeance is dissolvable then the people can go to the colosseum and have a life and death duel.

The duel will not be interfered with by anyone in any condition. If the rules were violated then the proctor will take the action and kill the interfering party. This concluded the gathering and Yang Dao said to the king, "Stop all assault on the kingdom of light. This war is worthless."

Seid stood up and bowed as he said, 'As you command Lord."

Yang Dao nodded and then said, "I invite you on the peak of the twilight peak in three days."

Seid nodded and wanted to say more, but Laohu Bai shook her head yet. The next moment the boy flew up in the sky and flew away. Laohu Bai nodded to the King and she left too. The Dark may look chaotic but it was also very simple at the core.

The difference between the two nations and natures was contrasting. In the Light kingdom, Yang Dao was well received and he was warmly greeted by the people, but he had to put in a lot of reasoning and effort in front of the people to let them accept the rules.

However, in the Kingdom of Dark, he was not well received and was even looked down upon. Yet after he dealt with the initial problem, the people accepted him readily and they all began to look forward to a new future.

...

Laohu Bai sat in front of Yang Dao, who was meditating on the summit of the twilight mountain. Never has the boy ever been so calm. He was surrounded by a mystical fog at times while in the next moment his body will shine.

Laohu bai smiled contently at this scene. Suddenly she stood up and said, 'Since you all have arrived, wait below the mountain, The Young Master is in seclusion. He will call you at his convenience."

It was as if her calm voice shook the entire realm. At this moment, Glow, and Seid stood at the bottom of the mountain. They greeted each other with courtesy and talked about the changes made by the child of chronicles.

Glow was the queen of the light kingdom while Seid was the king of the dark. The two people were invited by Yang Dao specifically and none other could approach this place without his intention. In the past two days, Yang Dao had mastered the laws of Light and Dark completely. He has unified them inside him.

After a few minutes, the two people suddenly vanished and appeared on the summit. They were shocked to see what happened around them but when they found Yang Dao to be sitting on a boulder with his legs crossed and gazing at them. The two of them knelt on one knee.

Yang Dao said, "I called you here to tell you both something important. Light and Dark need each other to rely upon and support their existence. Without the dark, there is no meaning to light and vice versa. The realm has now achieved a state of equilibrium. However, nothing in this world is constant except change.

This balance can and will shake and fall. I hope that you both form an organization that can look after this balance. The task is to promote balance and mixing up with each other. Everyone can have different opinions but the goal is progress. I hope you both can ensure that the world progresses in a way that nobody is hurt in the process. In line with nature.

Only when the people are balanced inside can they find balance outside. Do you understand? If the balance is to tip. The world will end. So, I hope you maintain it well."

The two people replied with a solemn expression, "Yes Lord."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Go."

He sent away the two people with a set of instructions. The reason he called them here was to make the people be balanced. Let them remember that the rigid a sword the more brittle it is.

Laohu Bai said, "Dao, shall we go back?"

Yang Dao nodded as he jumped off the boulder. He said with a smile, "You know I almost scolded them. It is hard to keep the pretense."

Laohu Bai chuckled as they vanished from the place. Glow and Seid spread the word that the two nations will now be in alliance and that the Emissary Of heavens had returned, but he left behind a warning, that the world will end if the two forces did not maintain a balance. The citizens have all started to look for inner balance since then.
