Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Just as Lin Dong and his group were rushing towards the east of the secret realm, Shi Hao, who was on the other side of the secret realm, also sent a message:
[Shi Hao: Brother Zhu Chen, I just downloaded the resource map too! You're amazing! You're outside the secret realm, yet you know everything about what's inside. This is even better than those treasure maps!]

Shi Hao's message was full of amazement.

After entering the secret realm, he wandered aimlessly. Although he encountered a few opportunities, he felt like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere.

Now that he has this resource map, he realizes that he has missed out on so many good things.

[Xiao Yan: Brother Shi Hao, you don't understand, do you? My elder brother not only knows everything about the secret realm, but he even knows the entire world you're in. If you want to soar to great heights, you can ask my brother for a novel about your own world. That way, you'll have more security when you travel through the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands.]

Xiao Yan was the first to reply to Shi Hao in the group chat.

Although he said it casually, his meaning was very clear.

He hoped that Shi Hao, like himself, would learn to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune by understanding the "original work".

However, Shi Hao's reply surprised everyone in the group.

[Shi Hao: Brother Xiao Yan, I appreciate your kindness, but I still stand by my own ideas. I don't want to depend on anyone for my future.]

[Xiao Yan: Why? Wouldn't it be stupid not to use a script?]

[Shi Hao: Although Brother Zhu Chen knows everything, he only knows the original historical trajectory. Now, with everyone's involvement in Perfect World, plus the variable of Brother Zhu Chen, the original historical trajectory has probably already changed. If I continue to rely on that novel and harbor wishful thinking that everything will develop according to the script I know, it will absolutely not be beneficial to my future cultivation.]

Xiao Yan opened his mouth, but found himself unable to speak for a moment.

Because he found that what Shi Hao said did seem to make some sense.

At this moment, Shi Hao sent another message:
[Shi Hao: Moreover, the path of cultivation is inherently defying the heavens. If everything is known in advance and everything is arranged beforehand, what's the point? What I want is to measure this path with my own two feet and carve out my own destiny with my own fists. Even if I stumble and fall, even if I get injured, it's my own choice...]

Shi Hao's words silenced everyone in the group.

Han Li was slightly moved as he read the message.

He recalled how he had walked this path step by step back in Huangfeng Valley.

At that time, he had no script, no prophet, and he took every step with trepidation.

But it is precisely this cautious, prudent approach that has allowed him to live to this day.

Although their experiences differed, they also shared some similarities.

Luo Feng was also deep in thought at this moment.

When he was on Earth, there was no script either.

But when facing the RR virus and those monsters, he fought his way through with his own fists and kicks.

If someone had told him what the future would hold.

Would he still be the same person he is today?
Xiao Yan remained silent for a while before sending another message in the group:
[Xiao Yan: Alright, since you insist, I won't try to persuade you anymore. But Brother Shi Hao, I still have to say this: it's a waste not to use resources, and it's foolish not to read scripts. I understand you don't want to rely on scripts, but you should still know what you need to know, at least so you don't get scammed. Take care of yourself.]

[Shi Hao: Thanks for the reminder, Brother Xiao Yan. I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I won't be tricked. When it comes to fighting, I've never been afraid of anyone!]

After Shi Hao finished speaking, he sent a grinning emoji, which immediately lightened the atmosphere in the group. Just then, Zhu Chen's message suddenly popped up in the group chat:

Zhu Chen: Xiao Yan, you don't need to persuade Shi Hao. Everyone walks a different path. Some people like to be cautious and will never make a move without absolute certainty, like Han Li... But some people are relentless in their cultivation and don't care about too much. Shi Hao is clearly the latter.

Although the former is safer and the latter is more dangerous, if it comes to the end, the latter's achievements will definitely far surpass those of the former.

So, there's no need for anyone to say anything about Shi Hao. He has his own ideas, and he can choose his own path, just like you all.

Zhu Chen's words made everyone fall into deep thought once again.

Yes, there are countless paths to immortality, so how can there be any absolutely correct one?
Han Li's path is caution, Wang Lin's path is ruthlessness, Lin Dong's path is recklessness, Luo Feng's path is rebirth, Qian Renxue's path is stepping on three obstacles, and Shi Hao's path is unstoppable...

Everyone has their own path; there's no right or wrong, only what's suitable or unsuitable.

[Lin Dong: Big brother is right. Everyone's path is different. Just walk your own path and don't care what others say!]

Luo Feng: That's true. The path is our own, and only we can decide how we want to walk it.

Han Li: Brother, you are absolutely right. I have truly learned a lot this time.

[Qian Renxue: Brother Shi Hao, now that you've made up your mind, go ahead and boldly walk the path you believe in... We all support you.]

[Xiao Yan: Okay, okay, I admit I misspoke. Brother Shi Hao, good luck! Don't forget your brothers when you become a Celestial King!]

[Shi Hao: Haha, definitely, definitely! I'll treat you to animal milk then!]

[Xiao Yan: Uh...can we not talk about beast milk? I don't like it...]

Seeing everyone supporting him, Shi Hao felt gratified and recognized.

He thought for a moment, then sent another message in the group:
[Shi Hao: By the way, everyone, I just saw that the resource map marked a lot of good stuff. I happen to be quite close to the Silver Insect King right now, so why don't I go and collect it first?]

[Zhu Chen: That Silver Insect King can be used in medicine; it's an essential ingredient for refining rare divine medicines. It can also help cultivators achieve perfect cultivation levels. Last time, you were trying to break through to the Venerable Realm as quickly as possible, so your foundation must have been somewhat lacking, right? Using this Silver Insect King can perfectly make up for that.]

[Shi Hao: Really? I didn't expect the Silver Insect King to have such benefits!]

[Xiao Yan: Don't eat the Silver Insect King right away. Give it to me first, and I'll refine it into a pill for you. Maybe the effect will be even better then!]

[Shi Hao: Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao Yan.]

[Zhu Chen: The rest of you shouldn't just stand around either. I suggest you split up and collect all the resources outside the Thunder Emperor Palace first. Then, meet up at the Thunder Emperor Palace and go together to raid it. This way, it's the most efficient and won't delay anyone.]

[Lin Dong: Big brother, that's a great idea! Let's split up and collect even more!]

Luo Feng: I agree. Splitting up and working separately will definitely be much more efficient.

Han Li panicked when he heard that Luo Feng and the others were going to split up!

[Han Li: No, no, absolutely not... I think it's safer for everyone to go together... Don't put yourselves in danger just for the sake of resources!]
