The Man’s Decree

“Hmm.”

Ling Yan continued, his tone filled with boundless longing for past glories.

“Our senior brother, Li Jin, was born arrogant, his nature a mix of righteousness and wickedness. He acted solely on his conscience, disregarding all rules and regulations.

” “He deeply understood the demonic and domineering nature of flames—the power to burn everything, destroy all, and then give birth to new life. He believed the essence of fire lay in the cycle of destruction and rebirth.”

“He cultivated with near-madness, often testing the fire with his own body, teetering on the edge of life and death, forging an earth-shattering Li Huo Demonic Art. Later, he became known as the Li Huo Demon Lord, his power shaking the heavens, causing all demons to bow before him, and immortals and gods to fear him.”

“My second senior brother, Huo Ling, is gentle and upright, with a broad mind and a compassionate heart. He understands the divine and benevolent aspects of fire—its light, warmth, purification, and life-giving power—and believes that fire is the beginning of civilization and the light of hope.”

“The Fire Spirit Immortal Technique he cultivated is upright, magnificent, and profound. It can purify evil spirits and nourish all things. Later, he achieved the position of Fire Spirit Star Lord, ruling over a star field and receiving offerings from countless living beings. He is hailed as the source of starlight and the embodiment of light.”

As he spoke, the bitterness on Ling Yan’s face deepened.

“And I… Ling Yan, am dull-witted and mediocre in comprehension. Although I have been fortunate enough to study under renowned masters and be on the same level as two peerless geniuses, I have never truly grasped the essence of fire.” “

I lack the demonic comprehension of my eldest brother, who breaks through and rebuilds, dominating the world, and I also lack the divine magnanimity of my second senior brother, who is upright, peaceful, and benevolent to all living beings.”

“I can only struggle to find my own path of sword and fire under the dazzling light of my two senior brothers, making slow progress.”

He sighed, his tone filled with deep regret and helplessness.
