Think about it carefully, is it fair that a supporting character becomes the protagonist's wedding dress, and all the hard work and dedication of the supporting character is easily taken by the protagonist in the end?
The villains go to great lengths to increase their power, killing everything in their path, sacrificing their families and friends. The protagonist, on the other hand, does nothing. He jumps off a cliff and gains a stroke of luck, divine skills and secret techniques appear unbidden, his physique is unique throughout the ages, a mysterious old man chases after him to take him as a disciple, he marries a beautiful and wealthy woman, gets past his in-laws who don't like him, and easily reaches the pinnacle of power.
And what did the villain who opposed the protagonist gain? In the end, he not only lost everything, but also his family was destroyed. His daughter might even have been captured by the protagonist, and the two of them would live together shamelessly. He would end up disgraced and his once-powerful figure would disappear without a trace, returning to dust. Meanwhile, his enemy would win the heart of the beauty, become a powerful figure, with millions of lives prostrating at his feet, and live a happy and fulfilling life.
This would be unacceptable in any world or among any person (the villain), provided, of course, that they know whether they are a supporting character or the protagonist. Clearly, Rao knew he wasn't the chosen one of the world, and that's why he got angry.
"The east wind is waning, the west wind is chilling, the moon waxes and wanes, my heart is filled with sorrow, who is listening to whom pour out their heartbreak; the south wind is mournful, the north wind is sorrowful, in the cold rainy night, a lonely soul in the city, who can understand the loneliness and solitude of my life."
Ye Ritian muttered to himself, then slowly raised his head and looked at Rao intently. His calm eyes held a calm expression, but his heart was filled with complex emotions, as if the world had changed drastically.
"Ye Ritian, you bastard, you don't understand anything at all!!"
Raotong's eyes were bloodshot, his pupils filled with hideous blood vessels, his face contorted as he glared fiercely at Ye Ritian.
He continued venting, "Do you think that just because I'm the chief god of Krypton, I can be arrogant and domineering? Do you really think I can control everything? This 'do whatever I want' facade is all fake. Do you think that a primordial deity like me can truly possess absolute control? As noble and powerful as I am, wasn't I still successfully locked up by that ethereal, supreme concept from birth, my predetermined fate edited? Heh, what's so special about that?"
"Do you know how I felt when I discovered that Clark was the absolute center of this world? I, the noble god who created and led the Kryptonian civilization, only to find in the end that all my efforts were nothing more than a supporting role?!"
"I poured all my energy into building the ancient Kryptonian civilization, illuminating the wisdom of my people, teaching them survival, knowledge, technology, civilization, systems, laws, and even... I shared my own bloodline and genes with them. But what did I get in the end?"
Rao, his face hideous, roared in a ferocious voice, "In the name of the Sun God, I led the entire Krypton forward, constantly developing at high speed, spreading everything within myself, placing them among the top ranks of the universe. Without me, how could they have achieved such glorious accomplishments? I am a great sage, a messenger of civilization... But one day, I suddenly discovered that all the sweat I shed was merely a tool to propel Krypton's transformation, so that Clark could naturally hatch from his shell. Is this the meaning of my birth?"
"Why?"
"Why is he born superior to everyone else? Do I owe him anything? Am I entitled to it?!"
"I am a primordial deity, a great creator, a sage who guides civilization, a radiant sun god, and the supreme god of Krypton. Logically speaking, I am the absolute core crystallization of everything..."
"I have been kind, I have been generous. I have done my best to nurture every Kryptonian with great perseverance. I have generously bestowed divine power upon any of my kind with extraordinary talent, upgraded their genetic level, sublimated their bloodline, further purified it, and made their strength advance by leaps and bounds. I am kind, gentle, caring, and magnanimous, a symbol of all good things, as warm as the sun. I have given them everything I have without reservation..."
Rao's expression was icy cold, his face extremely complex, a mixture of anger and memories. His mind was constantly replaying the past, with images of his tribesmen and superhumans flashing through his mind. Then, as if remembering something, he stared intently at that particular frame of the image, and his expression instantly changed, reverting to one of madness.
"But, all of this... is fake. That bastard Clark from the future, he did nothing, he never contributed to his people, yet he was able to easily push me off the altar. All my efforts were just to be a tool to help him come into being, so insignificant. I am small and unnoticed. Why, why is it like this? What right does Clark have?"
"Why should the world revolve around him instead of me? I can also be the absolute core. Clark isn't the only choice. I'm not much worse than him. I'm also a person of flesh and blood. What he can do, I can do too. Why can't I be the one chosen as the Son of the World? Ye Ritian, tell me, why is this?!"
With red eyes, Raotong shouted at Ye Ritian, his voice filled with a roar of resentment and his face contorted with extreme anger.
He roared with all his might, his eyes gathering into streams of water. Countless streams of water surged from all directions, the embodiment of all emotions, appearing suddenly upon receiving the supreme call. Two drops of water were about to burst forth from his eyes, almost pushed off the ground by the invisible force.
The proud and arrogant Rao tried his best to raise his head high, straining to hold back his tears.
He is a person who refuses to admit defeat, and even more so, a person who dares to challenge his own destiny. He wants to tell himself that he is not afraid of it, and the tears that flow will show that he has given in.
No, he absolutely could not allow this to happen. Rao suddenly hardened his heart and tried to suppress his rage.
Chapter 232 The Sun God's Darkening: He Completely Unleashed His Power
"I am... but a god, haha, does a god shed tears? What a childish thing."
Rao finally couldn't hold back his tears; even with his head held high, he couldn't stop the torrent of tears.
His anger and will ultimately succumbed to reality; how could he withstand the grievances accumulated over several eras?
Rao completely lost control of his emotions, crying uncontrollably like a man who had just broken up with his girlfriend. He had given everything for her, even selling everything he owned to send her abroad to study, just because she said she wanted to see the moon over there. But when she returned, she came to him with a newborn child. She said that the man over there didn't want her anymore, that he looked down on her because of her humble origins, so she had been abandoned and had come back to him. The boy didn't know how to feel after hearing this, and was heartbroken.
At least, that's how Rao appeared from Ye Ritian's perspective.
Raoh made great sacrifices and contributions to Krypton, trying his best to please the Great Will of the DC, hoping that the other party would notice him, even if it was just a proper glance. However, the other party ignored him, was indifferent and ruthless, and only had Clark in his eyes.
He was left hanging like this, neither refusing nor accepting, until Rao, unable to bear it any longer, decided to flip the table.
Screw Superman, screw Fate, I'm going to change all of this! Clark, get down here! I, Rao, am no worse than you, I can sit in this position too!
For countless billions of years, Rao had been harboring endless emotions deep in his heart, with no way to vent them and no one to listen. He never spoke of them to the other three main gods, bearing them silently all by himself.
But when Ye Ritian appeared, facing this strange and mysterious new Superman, who was also a new Kryptonian god, Rao could no longer suppress his inner bitterness and completely erupted.
At this moment, Rao glared angrily at Ye Ritian, intending to vent all his anger on this guy. Things had already escalated to this point, so there was no turning back.
He was plotting in his mind that after killing Ye Ritian, he would make his move against Clark. These damned outcasts were all beings he couldn't control. Since he couldn't obtain the position of the Core Child, he would either kill them or destroy it.
Ok?
Ye Ritian immediately sensed the murderous intent surging in Rao's eyes. He calmly looked over, then stared at him coldly.
The sun god, in a sense, is an extremely proud and arrogant guy. Because of the concept of being born extraordinary, he firmly believes that he should be the supreme being of Krypton and bear the great mission of leading the trend.
Yes, before it was initially discovered that Clark was a core value, he was a person who carried out arrogance to the extreme, and this pride was engraved in his genes.
He felt displeased by this seemingly divine arrangement, but he said nothing and followed orders to establish Krypton.
Because he was burdened with a supreme natural mission, he was proud and looked down on these weak Kryptonians to some extent. As time went by, he gradually forgot about this feeling.
He felt an immense sense of purpose in his existence and a great responsibility to lead Krypton to prosperity.
At first, he disdained to be bossy to the weak tribesmen, but instead was happy to squat down and talk to them in a gentle and friendly manner.
He was also extremely kind and generous, sharing his bloodline and power, including knowledge, with them. At that time, Lao treated his people exceptionally well; he was incredibly benevolent.
He even incorporated his supreme divine authority as the sun god—the ability to become stronger by basking in the sun—into their bloodline, allowing everyone to become stronger by basking in the sun, just like him.
At that time, he was a great philanthropist and the embodiment of perfection. He was happy to do this. Seeing his people grow stronger and develop technology step by step greatly satisfied his vanity and strengthened his belief in the ideals he had always upheld.
He firmly believed that he was the absolute center of Krypton and considered himself supreme. He worked diligently and tirelessly to make outstanding contributions to the Kryptonians, enthusiastically spreading his divine light so that every Kryptonian could be bathed in it.
However, because he enjoys the power to manipulate and control the supreme interpretation of the situation, he also cannot tolerate any strange changes in Krypton, as it makes him feel very insecure.
By chance, he unexpectedly discovered that all his efforts were nothing more than a stepping stone for others, an ornament to complement Superman Clark. Then what was he? What right did he have?
Who does he think he is, taking everything that rightfully belongs to me so openly and brazenly? My enthusiasm has become a joke, my efforts a laughingstock, my kindness so cheap, and all my hard work was merely to promote the meaning of his birth?
No, I can't accept that!!
Clark, die.
Kryptonians who, like me, have become tools, should all die. Since you weren't born for me, I have no reason to indulge you. Get out of here!
Then came the proud Rao, who would never allow anyone around him to be too weak, not even his own people whom he hated. To him, who was born sacred, this was an insult.
So, he put things one thing at a time and tried every possible way to help those around him become stronger. He would lend a hand to even the weakest Kryptonians. If these people weren't strong, he would feel like he was a piece of trash.
In order to live up to the name of the supreme god, he worked hard to use all his abilities and supernatural powers to lead the entire group to continuously ascend and leap to higher levels of life.
This is a god with great ambition and pride, who naturally felt that he was the core of the tribe. There's nothing wrong with that; it's perfectly normal. If you have to blame someone, blame that damned fate, it was destined.
"You, who consider yourself extraordinary, are moving from one extreme to another unknown change."
Ye Ritian said calmly, gazing indifferently at Rao.
If it were him, he would also rack his brains to change the world and find a way to kill Clark and seize his fortune. In the world of God's Tomb, which of the great emperors did not defy fate and launch an attack on the Heavenly Dao? The difference is that he was fighting for the protagonist position, while they wanted to establish a new "good" Heavenly Dao.
In this respect, Rao is quite similar to him, but only slightly. The worldview system of Western comics is essentially unsuccessful in its planning, unlike my Eastern fantasy and martial arts system, which has the Dao of Heaven.
In DC, unless you have a father figure like Thanos, the creator of the reality controller, to defy the heavens, you'll only ever be an ordinary character.
“Rao, as an outsider and transmigrator, I know better than anyone the reasons for the hatred between you and Clark…”
Ye Ritian stared steadily at Rao, the expression in his pupils making Rao frown. Was the other party's condescending attitude returning?
Before Rao could speak, Ye Ritian slowly said, "Rao, you may not believe in fate, or even resist it, but without absolute certainty and a trump card, there is no need to use such foolish and blind means to resist fate. You will only look ridiculous and laughable."
He paused, then continued, "Do you know that in your world, there is actually a real destiny?"
The DC universe is a real world where destiny truly exists!
Unlike before, the other party was not one of the editors and authors from the Primordial Earth.
Rather, it is destiny in the truest sense. The first family in DC, the head of the Infinity Family, is said to reside in the Sea of Destiny.
This supreme being is called Destiny, and He is the embodiment of DC's ultimate destiny.
The second son of the Endless Family died, claiming to be with God. He often appeared in the omnipotent universe, hunting down one "world" after another. Once, he was even seen by Lucifer, who was said to have half the power of God, which startled Lucifer on the spot.
From this, one can imagine how powerful fate must be.
It's impossible to estimate, but it's at least a near-ultimate level.
Legend has it that this being enjoys strolling in His Garden of Destiny, holding a mysterious Book of Destiny in his arms, which records the stories of all things in the world, similar to the Book of Man from the primordial era.
This being has long surpassed all living beings; it is one of the absolute overpowered beings, and among the top tier, an unparalleled existence in the omnipotent universe.
"What bullshit about fate? I don't understand what you're saying. All of you, go to hell! My fate is in my own hands."
Having regained his composure and stopped crying, Rao roared angrily, his screams echoing throughout the entire realm of the gods, revealing his madness and resentment—a complete act of defiance against fate.
He roared and charged at Ye Ritian.
"If you hadn't shown up, perhaps my plan would have succeeded soon..."
A fierce glint flashed in Rao's eyes, and the sun symbol between his brows suddenly burst forth with astonishing light and heat, making him appear radiant and dazzling.
Immediately, it transformed into waves of terrifying oppression, sweeping over Ye Ritian.
Ye Ritian calmly raised his head and looked at Rao with a mocking expression.
"What a pathetic person, you don't understand anything at all."
It seems he still doesn't understand that there is an insurmountable gap between supporting characters and protagonists. Even powerful emperors like Ruthless Man, Wushi, and Golden Crow are all defeated by the protagonist Ye Fan in terms of halo.
Although they each have their own splendid stories, which would be nothing special even if they were to stand out in any other world, they could never replace Ye Fan in that particular book.
Ye Ritian sighed, feeling sorry for Rao.
Anyone who dares to defy their own fate is a remarkable being, worthy of admiration and respect. Even we, as weak as ants, still possess the powerful perseverance to never bow our heads.
But you can't fight against fate so recklessly. If you could just charge through, it would have to be in a DC Superman world, where Clark, the chosen one, could just charge through without thinking.
