Yuan Ming was still in a state of half-sleep, half-consciousness when he heard the question and subconsciously answered, "For freedom."
Upon hearing this, the white figure was somewhat surprised and let out a laugh, "With great power at your disposal and glory beside you, aren't you free? As the sole ruler, with the Five Domains bowing down, aren't you free?"
"But the things I wish to do, and am capable of doing, I've never been able to achieve—how is that freedom?" Yuan Ming retorted.
The white figure seemed stumped by the question and, after a long time, suddenly sighed, "But how do you know that those who restrict your freedom aren't doing so to protect you? And the things you do for so-called freedom might not necessarily be right."
"If there were ironclad evidence that I am wrong, I would give up. But without it, it's not just a few lifetimes, but thousands, even tens of thousands of lifetimes, I will never give up," Yuan Ming said with an unprecedented determination.
