I, Shura Armor, choose Belia at the beginning

Drastically altering history could cause this troublesome situation.

But simply following history blindly is not in Tsukasa Kadoya's character.

Both of these problems are quite complicated at their core.

One is the trouble in real life.

One is that hurdle in my heart that I can't get over.

This is what Tsukasa Kadoya is struggling with.

"Why don't you give me some advice, and let me see what your thoughts are?"

After agonizing for a long time, Tsukasa Kadoya still couldn't make a decision, so he decisively threw the question back to Yun Shen.

This is not an escape.

Rather, he subconsciously felt that Yun Shen, this mysterious being, should be able to offer better advice.

And indeed, Tsukasa Kadoya's guess came true.

Since Yun Shen dared to raise this question, he already had a general direction.

Upon hearing Tsukasa Kadoya's question, Yun Shen immediately responded.

"It's very simple. It depends on how you think about it. Do you want to challenge your limits and become stronger?"

"I still want to honestly resolve the crisis in this world and continue my journey to other universes."

Yun Shen did not give an answer immediately.

Instead, he presented two different options.

After Tsukasa Kadoya had roughly understood...

Yun Shen then began to explain the consequences of these two choices.

"If you want to get through the crisis safely, travel to a new world."

"Then you should follow the history I told you and live it honestly."

"That way you can complete your mission without any risk."

"If you want to challenge your limits and break through your own limitations, I also have a better suggestion for you."

"That is to become Tokiwa Sougo's whetstone, to become a bad person, just like what you have done before."

"Be a complete villain, so that even the real villains bow down to you."

"When Tokiwa Sougo obtains the power of Oma and transforms into the King of Oma."

"Your strength should have grown considerably by then, and you can then have your final battle with him."

"After the battle ends, everything will calm down."

“I know your background, and I know what you’re thinking.”

"You've grown up to where you are today primarily by being pushed along by one event after another; many of your choices have been forced upon you."

"Do you want to take the initiative and fight for yourself? You've never really risked your life for yourself before, have you?"

"You have made sacrifices for the world, for your friends, and for everyone."

"But what have you done for yourself? You were even forced to gain power when you became stronger."

"Haven't you had enough of this life of drifting along, being manipulated like a puppet?"

"You have gained my power, and you can break free from all these rules and constraints, Tsukasa Kadoya. Fight for yourself this time."

Yun Shen offered his advice and outlined the final outcomes of the two choices.

You can tell from what he said.

He actually wanted Tsukasa Kadoya to choose to challenge the limits.

Because that would be the most beneficial for Yun Shen.

Therefore, when Yun Shen spoke to the end, his tone became somewhat seductive.

But there is one thing to say.

As an outsider, as someone who has stepped outside the chessboard.

Yun Shen's understanding of Tsukasa Kadoya even surpasses that of Kadoya himself.

Many people are actually confused.

These people are blinded by their own interests; they don't know what they want or what they want to do.

They were simply being mechanically pushed around by the forces around them.

They do whatever outsiders tell them to do.

Parents say, teachers say, classmates say, bosses say, partners say, even online friends say...

It's just that I didn't talk to myself.

Tsukasa Kadoya's nature is much the same as the situation described above.

He is the Kamen Rider who is most like an ordinary person.

Yun Shen's words truly touched his heart.

This can be seen from the fact that Tsukasa Kadoya suddenly stopped and stared blankly at the artificial pool in front of him.

He was genuinely shocked by Yun Shen's last words, and even felt as if he had been enlightened.

If you think about it carefully, you'll see. Unlike other Kamen Riders who have strong subjective initiative.

Tsukasa Kadoya is indeed as Kumomi said.

Almost all of his major decisions were made passively, and many things were forced upon him.

Even fighting desperately wasn't for himself.

Tsukasa Kadoya did it for his friends and for the world.

In this respect, he is similar to the protagonist of Faiz, Takumi.

However, the difference between the two is...

Qiaoye has a clear understanding of himself and is willing to sacrifice himself to protect the dreams of others.

Tsukasa Kadoya, on the other hand, was in a state of bewildered confusion.

Because he doesn't even have a world of his own to protect.

Tsukasa Kadoya is rejected wherever he goes; he is an outcast in every world.

He has come this far because of his strong will.

If his nature were even slightly more wicked, he would have been a villain long ago.

An existence that doesn't even have a goal to protect.

How could anyone truly understand the meaning behind protecting?

Few people understand this.

Outsiders can only see that he's pretentious, dashing, and handsome; he can do everything except take photos.

Therefore, at this moment, Tsukasa Kadoya felt as if he had met a kindred spirit with Cloud Recesses.

This is actually a common tactic used by Yun Shen.

He wouldn't expect the summoner to grow in willpower solely through their own self-awareness.

Even the finest raw jade needs to be polished to become smooth and round.

At this moment, Yun Shen was deliberately guiding Kadoya Tsukasa to establish his own belief in becoming a strongman.

This wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

Its most typical success story is Beria.

The subsequent summoners, apart from Sun Wukong, were all more or less guided by Yun Shen in secret.

This includes Huo Linfei and Duanmu Yan.

In order to make their beliefs and will erupt more quickly, Yun Shen has been intentionally or unintentionally hinting and explicitly suggesting things.

With such a talented player, Yun Shen doesn't need to put in much effort to get on the right track.

Unlike Belial, Yun Shen went to great lengths to instill faith in him.

At this moment, what Yun Shen said and did to Kadoya Tsukasa was based on the same principle.

This demonstrates his advantage as a time traveler.

Yun Shen knew the background and full picture of these people.

Therefore, he tailored a plan to change his beliefs based on his personality.

It's like having the answers given and then creating the questions; they're not too difficult.

In addition, Yun Shen was already an old man who had lived for tens of thousands of years.

He is actually very good at seeing through people's hearts and human nature.

He hasn't been sleeping or cultivating for tens of thousands of years; he's been experiencing all sorts of things.

It is said that people become shrewd with age, and someone as old as Yun Shen is already the shrewdest of the shrewd.

Since Tsukasa Kadoya is cynical and doesn't have a strong belief in being a strongman.

Then Yun Shen will create one for him from scratch.

Just like Belial back then.

There are no useless students, only teachers who don't know how to teach.

"You're absolutely right. You seem to really know me. I haven't told any of these things to anyone."

It took Tsukasa Kadoya a while to come to his senses, and he said to Yun Shen in a surprised tone.

"So what's your choice? To take a conscious gamble, or to continue living in a daze?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Shen roughly understood that Kadoya Tsukasa had comprehended his words.

Therefore, he then raised the most crucial question to the other party.

"Now that you've made yourself so clear, do I have any other options?"

"If I really made that choice, wouldn't that just further prove that I'm a puppet without a self?"

"So my choice is... to push my limits and fight for myself!"

After a moment of silence, Tsukasa Kadoya replied with a wicked smile.
