"What do you mean?" Ye Chen heard these words, his breath quickening.

A created being?

Ye Chen dared not imagine the meaning within; he feared he couldn't accept it.

"Haven't you noticed?" the boy said. "You rose up so quickly, even faster than the reincarnation of a god!"

"This!" Ye Chen's mind shook.

"The miraculous encounters and fortunes you've experienced seem like coincidences, but they were destined long ago!" the Heavenly Dao boy said.

"Why were they destined long ago?" Ye Chen had a guess but dared not confirm it.

"Because your growth trajectory was deliberately arranged by someone!" the Heavenly Dao boy said.

"What?" Ye Chen felt a sense of terror, his scalp tingling.

Ye Chen suddenly felt like a puppet, with a big hand controlling every move he made.

However, this feeling was terrible, making Ye Chen shiver and even unable to accept it.

"Everything about you was deliberately arranged! Even your birth was arranged!"

"So I say you are a created being!"

"But the one who created you is very powerful, even I cannot fully explore it!"

"But I am the Heavenly Dao, watching over the cosmos; who could hide from my observation?"

The Heavenly Dao boy looked at Ye Chen, his eyes flashing with strange light, as if he had seen something.

However, the boy's expression was somewhat hesitant, as if he had discovered something he didn't dare confirm.

"What secret do I have that even the Heavenly Dao cannot see through?" Ye Chen saw the boy's expression and felt a storm in his heart.

The boy was an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao, practically omniscient and omnipotent.

However, even the Heavenly Dao could not see through the karma on him, chilling Ye Chen's heart.

"I thought that as long as I became invincible in the world, the mysteries that troubled me would be unraveled one by one!"

"But when I truly became powerful, I found out... I was too naive!"

"Human strength ultimately has limits!"

"There are too many secrets in the world; no matter how great one's power, how could one explore them all?"

Ye Chen felt a sense of melancholy, a kind of despair trapped, unable to escape.

Ye Chen felt like a bird, desperately trying to fly out of the world, but the world was too vast, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fly out.

"Are you invincible?" the Heavenly Dao boy asked.

"No!" Ye Chen shook his head and added. "But almost there, right?"

"You are indeed confident!" The Heavenly Dao boy laughed, amused by Ye Chen.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Chen had ascended to a whole new realm; though not invincible, he wasn't far off.

"What is invincible?" the Heavenly Dao boy didn't answer, instead asked Ye Chen.

"Invincible means invincible!" Ye Chen said. "The best under heaven, without rivals!"

"Have you reached the level of invincible?" the Heavenly Dao boy asked.

"Almost?" Ye Chen blinked, saying happily.

For some reason, facing the Heavenly Dao boy, Ye Chen didn't feel fear, instead felt a deep fondness.

"Almost my foot!" the Heavenly Dao boy said coolly.

"..."

"You are just a frog in a well right now, having no idea what invincible truly is!" the Heavenly Dao boy looked at Ye Chen coldly.

"What is invincible?" Ye Chen chuckled awkwardly.

The boy before him was the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao; talking about invincibility with him seemed a bit ambitious.

"To know what invincible is, you must first know what enemies there are!" the Heavenly Dao boy said. "If you are in a circle of chickens, what does invincible mean? Encountering lions and tigers, your legs would surely go weak, unable to escape!"

"Am I just a chicken in this universe?" Ye Chen swallowed, finding it hard to accept.

Ye Chen could already challenge the epic; if he was just a chicken, then what were others?

"With your current strength, calling you a chicken is overestimating you!" the boy said indifferently. "Moreover, you're not even a free chicken, but one that is domesticated!"

"..." Ye Chen was speechless, the Heavenly Dao's sharp tongue was too overwhelming.

"You think I'm joking?" the Heavenly Dao boy suddenly laughed.

"Aren't you?" Ye Chen said.

"Chickens have their coops, tigers their circles, dragons their lairs!" the Heavenly Dao boy said. "You are a chicken in the coop; how could you encounter dragons or tigers?"

"Damn!" Ye Chen jumped up. "What you said is too hurtful, can't you be more tactful?"

"You call me a frog in a well, I can grit my teeth and endure it!"

"But calling me a chicken, I can't take it; how do I resemble a chicken?"

Ye Chen truly got angry, like a fearless youth challenging the authority of the Heavenly Dao.

Chickens are humans' good friends, crowing every morning to awaken the earth's vitality.

But Ye Chen swore by his gender, he really wasn't a chicken!

"You are either a frog or a chicken!" the boy said seriously, shaking his head. "Your strength is not strong, but not weak either, barely counting as a chicken!"

Whether a frog or a chicken, they were standards for measuring strength by the Heavenly Dao. In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, Ye Chen was stronger than a frog, thus a chicken.

"..." Ye Chen was speechless. The Heavenly Dao had too vicious a tongue!

"Since I'm a chicken, then who are the dragons and tigers?" Ye Chen asked.

"That person is a tiger!" the Heavenly Dao boy looked beyond the sea of thunder, his gaze landing on a man.

"Xiahou Chun!" Ye Chen saw the man, his pupils shrank.

This "tiger" of a man was none other than the Earth's War God—Xiahou Chun!

"Epic beings, only second to the Heavenly Dao, are the tigers that dominate the cosmos!" the boy turned back to look at Ye Chen.

"Epic is a tiger, then who is the dragon?" Ye Chen asked. "Who is the dragon?"

"The dragon is singular, and that is me." The boy slightly raised his head, speaking.

"..." Ye Chen heard this, said nothing, quietly watching the boy show off.

"What's the matter?" the boy asked plainly.

"Nothing." Ye Chen took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. "I've touched a new realm; I can repel epic wills, yet can only count as a chicken?"

Ye Chen was still unwilling to be a chicken; if epic was a tiger, Ye Chen could challenge epics, he should at least be a wolf, a leopard, or failing that, a mastiff!

Why must he be a chicken?

"What you repelled was merely an epic will, not a true epic!" the Heavenly Dao boy said.

"Is the difference between epic and epic will so vast?" Ye Chen asked.

"Far beyond what you imagine!" the Heavenly Dao boy said. "You can repel an epic will, but if a true epic descends, you probably won't withstand ten moves before being blasted to death!"

"Really?" Ye Chen asked.

"You can try seeking him out, see if he can kill you!" the Heavenly Dao boy looked toward Xiahou Chun. "However, this person is more ferocious than an average tiger; if you rush to your death, you probably won't withstand even three moves!"
