Hearing this, Jin Rou chuckled and said, "Victory and defeat is part of one's life. There is no such thing of being undefeatable. Everyone will experience setbacks in order to grow."
Even the greatest and most brilliant geniuses of the world experienced many setbacks during their prime. It's not like they could just sweep the realms because they were blessed. Cultivators experienced defeat to grow, to get stronger. It's up to them to use their weaknesses on their advantages and whatsoever.
"But you are defeated eight times." The flam sneered. It was looking at Jin Rou with disdain, "You keep going on, but you're just being suicidal."
"True, I am defeated eight times. But I killed so many deities and heavenly beings above. Even that highest existence above had to pay a price just to defeat me. How's that being suicidal?" Jin Rou smirked.
Han Li had challenged the Heavens eight times. He accumulated countless knowledge about the realm above. Even the highly kept secret and treasure troves were known by him. Moreover, he was the greatest threat that they had encountered. Thus, when Han Li issued another challenge, many deities and powerful beings than Dao Monarchs would welcome him with killing intent.
It's not an exaggeration to say that Han Li was the most wanted person of Heavens.
"So? You are still defeated in the end." The flame spoke with a cold tone. It knew Han Li's identity, yet there was no ounce of respect one could hear.
"At the very least, I tried and unafraid of them. But how about you and your world? Your epoch has shined greater than Nine Heavens yet you all chose to be a bunch of cowards and hide within your realms." It was Jin Rou's term to sneer. Of course, since the flame wasn't giving him face, why should he? It would be out of character if he just endured it.
The flame flickered releasing gaseous substance and spoke, "We had no choice back there."
Its voice was getting colder and colder. Killing intent was also apparent as it was very thick, ready to kill.
Its world in the past had shined brightly, greater than the epochs that had opened in the thousand realms. Of all epochs, the one that had opened for them was the best of all, giving them a full chance to challenge and wrestle rights from the Heavens. However, the top lineages and powerhouses of that epoch was too afraid to take the risk as they were used to the environment.
Unfortunately, their epoch ended just after several eras because of a grave mistake.
"You had no choice?" Jin Rou's face was full of mockery, "The advantages have been laid, and you just have to get the right points for you. You all are just afraid of the Heavens, afraid that your epoch will turn to dust if you turn against them. But what happened in the end? Your epoch is still destroyed. So much for being the greatest time of all, when the people there were just jumping clowns."
He didn't hold back. He would say what he wanted to say and there's no stopping him.
"You aren't even born during our epoch. What right do you have to criticize us?" The flame turned into a figure of a small girl. Its voice also turned into a cute yet cold tone of a little girl. She was wearing a gothick black dress. Her eyes were filled with killing intent as she looked at Jin Rou.
Although this was her real appearance, she was an old fossil who had lived longer than Han Li.
"Oh, I have the right to criticize you. Because I did something while you bunch slacked off." Jin Rou smirked, "And little girl, don't give me that look, it's not going to intimate me."
"You're courting death." The little girl was enraged. Her flames burst forth as if it was going to engulf the entire realm.
"No, you're going to court death if you attack me." Jin Rou lazily stretched, "If it was in the past, you might have a low chance of killing me. But so many epochs and eras had passed, trillions of years or so, you are just going to die if you antagonize me."
"You're quite confident." The little girl snorted. Although it were words filled with arrogance, it held great weight.
"I have the right to be confident. So, I suggest you to stay put lest I cannot control myself and kill you. You see, I don't mind taking your Final Black Flames when you die. It will be a great help for me." Jin Rou laughed. Although it wouldn't be easy to kill the little girl, Jin Rou just had to pay the price for it.
The little girl retrieved her flames, afraid that Jin Rou would be true to his words, "What do you want?"
"Nothing, I just want to offer you something." Jin Rou said.
"I'm listening." The little girl spoke.
"That puny deity has imprisoned you here, isn't it tiring to live in this boring place?" Jin Rou said.
"So you're going to release me?" The little girl shook her head, "That's impossible. That bastard used his perfected dao to imprison me here for ages. Even if you kill him, I will still remain here."
"Well, that's true. In this world, there's only a very few who could actually bind you. Not even a hundred monarchs could do so." Jin Rou nodded, "However, you know how I am. I am once called Miracle. With my means, everything is possible."
"Let's say that's true. But what's in it for you? " The little girl asked. She, of course, knew that there was no free lunch in this world.
"Ah, nothing much. I just want you to accompany me to my journey. You see, I have created too many enemies. Many are seeking to have my head, I'm too afraid." Jin Rou said, acting scared.
But the little girl didn't buy it, "So in the end, you want to use me."
"That's not the right term. I will free you from this damned place in exchange for your service. No matter how you look at it, it is a good deal for you.." Jin Rou smiled and said.
