Chapter 167: It is yours.

"That door...The Understanding of Power...it is something one could use to become a God."

The Enlightened One said as he pointed at the door with his right hand.

He then whipped his head back to look at Desire. Desire was already looking at the door with his blue eyes wide open.

It seems that he didn't expect what The Enlightened One just said.

After all, The Enlightened One just said that one could become a God just with this door.

It was only natural that Desire would be shocked.

Gods were living beings that were so powerful that they could destroy anyone and anything in their way. That was why they were called Gods.

Although Desire really hadn't learned about such Gods, he still knew about them.

After all, it was just common sense.

However, now...this unordinary man that Desire suddenly met in a random place said that this door right in front of him could be used to make one a God...

There's no way that Desire would be able to hold his composure after hearing that.

Of course, The Enlightened One already predicted this, and that was why...

"H-huh? I can't see?" Desire said as his field of vision suddenly turned black.

Of course, Desire still had his eyes wide open, and Desire knew that as well.

That was why it was weird.

After all, Desire could feel that his eyes were wide open, but now...he couldn't suddenly see things?

And since it was weird, Desire...quickly came to a conclusion.

He came to a conclusion about how this happened and who did this.

And what that conclusion was...

"Did you take away my ability to see, Enlightened One?" Desire said as he calmed himself.

The way that he calmed himself while flying in the air was so noteworthy that one would think that he was used to flying.

Of course, he then closed his eyes as he felt weird about having his eyes opened yet not being able to see.

And when The Enlightened One heard what Desire said, he quickly spoke to explain himself.

"Do not worry, ohh, distinguished one."

"I took away your ability to see so that you wouldn't lose yourself again."

The Enlightened One didn't want Desire to become distracted once more with the door.

After all, it's not like Desire was here to look at the Understanding of Power or something like that.

He was here for a reason, and The Enlightened One knew that reason.

Well, he was the one who called Desire into this place.

It was only natural that The Enlightened One would know about that.

Anyway, The Enlightened One then...shut off his ability to read minds.

Why? It was because The Enlightened One doesn't have to do something like that anymore.

The only reason why he read Desire's mind in the first place was just to lower Desire's guard against him.

After all, people who came into the Inner World were all wary against any threats.

They were unique people who were special in their own rights, and they were all strong in their respective arts.

That was why it wasn't weird for them to be wary against The Enlightened One when they first met him.

Well, this was actually the first time The Enlightened One saw someone so interesting such as Desire, and this was also the first time that someone so...interesting would be scared of him.

After all, Desire literally shut off his mind so that The Enlightened One wouldn't be able to read his mind.

That was the first time that The Enlightened One met someone who would do something like that.

Of course, the people who have come here could only be counted with one hand.

And since Desire wasn't so wary and scared of The Enlightened One anymore, he judged that it was about time to get to the topic.

Of course, that was also why he shut off his ability to read minds.

Anyway, The Enlightened One then continued speaking as he explained things to Desire.

"The reason why you are so attracted to the Understanding of Power is because...this door is yours."

"Right, this is your Understanding of Power. And it is only natural to get attracted to yourself."

"No...it is only natural to get attracted to your own power."

"After all, it is yours."

The Enlightened One said without missing a single beat. It seems that he was really sure of what he just said.

However, Desire surely wasn't sure about that as he had a confused look on his face.

After all, what The Enlightened One just said was pure...bullshit.

Right, it was just bullshit.

How could I have something like that when I don't even know a single thing about it?

That was Desire's first and honest thought about this door of Understanding of Power being his.

After all, he didn't know shit about it, and what's more...he didn't even know where it was!

He didn't know where this place was, and he didn't even know its name until The Enlightened One told him.

However, it seems that Desire didn't have to worry about that as The Enlightened One continued speaking.

"Do the distinguished one remembers what he did before coming in here?"

"It must be something special."

And when Desire heard what The Enlightened One said, he quickly...remembered.

After all, it was just literally yesterday for Desire.

That was why it wasn't that hard for him to remember.

"I do remember, yeah."

"I...An old man came to me and he was introduced by my master."

"That old man said that he could make me wield all three styles, and when he was doing the process to make me wield all three styles, I...passed out."

"The next thing that happened to me was when I woke up in this place with an unusual body."

"That's all I can remember."

Desire answered as honestly as he could. Even though he still didn't trust The Enlightened One, Desire knew that the one who wanted to meet him was this man.

And the only way Desire could move forward in this place is by being truthful with this man.

Desire could also know the answers to his questions if he answered The Enlightened One's questions.

He would be able to know why he came here, and he would be able to know what he would do from now on.

After all, The Enlightened One just said that Desire owns this Understanding of Power.

And since it is Desire's, Desire had a suspicion...no, Desire wanted to do something with it.

He wanted to see if he could become a God with this Understanding of Power.

After all, The Enlightened One just said that one could use it to become a God.

And a God...a God is a strong being that could destroy anybody in his way.

Desire wanted to become someone who could destroy anybody, anything, and everyone in his way if they get in his way.

And if Desire had to become a God to become that strong...Desire would do it.

Desire would become a God.

'Right, I have to know if I can use this Understanding of Power to my advantage.'

And the one who knows how to use the Understanding of Power is this man, The Enlightened One.

It was only natural that Desire would want to become truthful to him.

Well, it was just because Desire knows that he wouldn't be able to defeat The Enlightened One.

If he could defeat The Enlightened One, Desire would beat the shit out of him to get the answers that he wanted.

After all, there was no need for explaining things if Desire could get the result and outcomes that he wanted.

Anyway, when The Enlightened One heard what Desire said, The Enlightened One spoke with his eyebrows raised.

"Oho? Your story is awfully similar to the person who came in here before."

"Anyway, there is only one reason why you are in here."

"It is because...you have unlocked your potential purposely."

"And your potential...is connected with the Understanding of Power, one of the Eight Godly Paths."

The Enlightened One said as he uplifted his power that was preventing Desire from seeing things.

"Open your eyes, I shall bring you closer to the Understanding of Power."

"And I shall tell you of who I am."

"No...I shall explain everything."

And when Desire heard that, he quickly opened his eyes.

After all, it was the truth that Desire was indeed curious about who The Enlightened One was.

What's more, The Enlightened One even said he would explain everything to Desire.

That was something Desire wanted as well.

However, it was then that Desire could feel his body move once more in the air.

Right, and Desire could see the door...become bigger as The Enlightened One brought him closer to the Understanding of Power.

Of course, The Enlightened One was flying with him, and it didn't take long for them to reach the Understanding of Power.

And it wouldn't be long now until Desire learns about the Understanding of Power.

It wouldn't be long now until Desire learns about who The Enlightened One is.

And it wouldn't be long now...until Desire learns about who...he is.
