869 OLD GEEZER 2

He added, "But I will be honest with you. I actually wanted you to inherit my throne. And I wanted your brother to support you in the future. But you don't have any brotherly feelings between the two of you, I had no other choice but to do something."

The giant tree in the human form continued, "So I conducted this competition with some set of rules. I wanted one of you to completely give up on the rash idea of betrayal. So I gave you to some equal share of power."

The face of the giant tree in the human form became angry as he continued, "And what exactly the two of you did? As soon as we received your new set of power, the two of you fought against each other. You let your brother kill you! And now you are taking countless reincarnations!"

The giant tree in the human form continued, "I still don't understand why you make things complicated for yourself. You had every chance to defeat your brother back then. And yet you drag at the competition to this long."

"But wasn't it a effective?" ,Arjun took another sip and said, "Old Geezer! My brother is still in the impression that I am dead. And now he is searching for the key. But in order to keep him busy, I created Aryan! As long as Aryan is troubling him, I will be at ease. My stupid brother will think that he has too much of time to search for the key!"

"Aryan ah?" ,The giant tree in the human form shook his head and said, "You are one hell of a cunning bastard. I didn't know why you let him kill you. But indeed, the creation of Aryan is really making things happen according to your plan! So I presume that this will be your final reincarnation? You will settle everything in this life right?"

"Indeed! Why exactly do you think I had the plan of this countless reincarnation?" ,Arjun said, "The thing that I wanted the most is finally within my grasp! In fact, the other reason for creation of Aryan is because of this objective of mine. Since I have accomplished my objective, I will give a grand ending for this damn competition that you set for us. And then I will definitely ascend the throne!"

"Well, I am looking forward to it." ,The giant tree in the human form smiled and said, "But what about your companions? No matter how I see it, I feel that they were not at all up to the required standards of yours. If you had to defeat your brother, then you need strong minded people. And yet what I could say is that, they are still naive thinking brats."

Arjun sighed. He replied, "They can't be blamed. The world they were born and grew up is completely different and smaller than the realms like the God or the Celestial Realm. But it's not like they will stay narrow minded all the time."

Arjun continued, "well look at my current reincarnation. No matter how high I set my horizons, no matter how big the enemies I thought I should face, as you helped me regain my memories of my true self, I realised that I was still a narrow minded person."

Arjun continued, "Since you made me regain my memories, I now know what kind of enemies I will be facing in the future. And with this I now had a perfect plan in my mind."

"You are right." ,The Giant Tree in the Human Form agreed with Arjun, "Whether they will make the right use of their powers. Or If they will perish in the middle. It is all upto them. But the fact is that they had received a very powerful power. How much they realise and use it for themselves, it's all up to them."

"It can't be helped." ,Arjun said after taking another sip, "The Void Cultivation Technique which the Void gave me requires ten cultivators to inherit my the power of void from me. Without them, I can't do anything with the Void cultivation technique."

The giant tree in the human form shook his head and said, "The Void Cultivation Technique is different. Void is the one who created everything in the world you live in. If you received the power of void, then that means you will be the new beginning. Everything originated from the ten natural elements. And the ten people who inherited your power of void will represent the ten natural elements."

The giant tree in the human form continued, "Void already has ten natural elements under his control. If you want to reach at least Void's level, then you should have control over the ten natural elements of your own. And that is why you had to choose your ten candidates more carefully."

The giant tree in the human form continued, "But you don't have that chance now. You chose nine candidates so far. And according to my opinion, all nine of them are not even up to the mark! They don't even meet the required standards."

"But I don't blame you though. After all, you didn't have your past memories like you do now. So I would say that you are choice was out of complete inexperience." ,The giant tree in the human form said.

Arjun shook his head and, "It doesn't matter anymore. Whatever happened is happened. Even though they don't meet the required standards, they still have hope. Different circumstances, different experiences, and involvement in different and difficult situations will make a person very strong. The experience will make a person realise their true goal. No matter how strong a person is, and no matter how weak a person is, once they experience the things which is beyond their capabilities, then they will understand that they were just too naive to think that they were strong."

Arjun continued, "Unlike this world where the concept of 10 natural elements were completely meaningless, the world which the void has created has always been running on the basis of these 10 natural elements."

"And the concept of time is completely heartless." ,The giant tree in the human form shook his head and said, "With enough time, your candidates might realise their true girl and they might grow up. And the thing that you like me the most at this moment is nothing but Time itself!"
