The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao did not use the space law to teleport directly to the edge of the world and get it on with Omega. If he were to exploit the laws, then the rules of the world will eject him from the place forcefully, banning his entry.

He flew at a speed that was two times that of the sound. Feng Yun and the rest followed him silently at a ten-meter distance. They were communicating with their spirit conscious.

Feng Yun asked, "What made you so jittery, Eldest?"

Atsuji Kurogame replied to her with his gaze fixed at the back of the young man flying in front of him, "We came across the void ghosts."

Ryu Jinshi was surprised and asked, "What happened then? Did they try to influence him?"

Atsuji Kurogame said, "Master did not give them any chance. He mocked them back and using the Dao arrow, annihilated them. He said, that the time we had was getting shorter and shorter."

Laohu Bai did not say anything but she frowned, she asked, "What happened in the realm of time and space?"

Atsuji Kurogame told them how Yang Dao was corroded by the river of time and how he recovered. He also told them that he did not go through just one lifetime in there but a lot of them. Laohu Bai smiled, "You are not jittery, you are excited."

Atsuji Kurogame revealed a smile on his old face. Feng Yun asked, "Indeed, I am excited as well. Feels like the time on this world is coming to an end."

All four of them had a smile on their faces as they nodded. Atsuji Kurogame said, "I only hope, that he will not be too affected when he finds out about our plight later on."

Feng Yun shook her head and said, "You think a bit too much elder. He is not the same as he was three years ago,"

The familiars were involved in the chatting when they arrived at the so-called hiding place of the deformity of the world, Omega. Yang Dao said, "You all will not intervene."

With that said, he began to lower down his altitude in the sky and began to close up to the land. After a few seconds, he came to a stop. Yang Dao was floating a few inches above the ground as his body looked like it was standing. The familiars all stood behind him at a distance of five meters.

At this moment, in front of Yang Dao, was a figure wrapped in a black cloak. The figure was of a human, or at least the outline was that of a human. The figure spoke, "I am curious, how did you find me?"

He was not surprised but interested. This place was not monitored by any satellite, also he had a surveillance range of five kilometers, so sensing movements were easy for him. He did not pick up any moment.

Yang Dao spoke, "Sushi."

The wind picked up the pace as the sylph spirit made her appearance in front of Omega's vision. Omega was surprised this time, he asked, "What sort of creature is this?"

Sushi waved her hand and a strong gust blade pushed Omega back by a few meters. She turned to Yang Dao and bowed as she said, "Master, congratulation on completing your comprehension."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "You go, stand aside. I will deal with him."

Sushi nodded and came behind him to stand behind Ryu Jinshi. The boy also let out Amber, Luster, and Shadow. He said, "You wish to prove to the world that humanity is weak and you are their solution, right? I will fight you to death, as a human and nothing more. We will decide this once and for all. What do you say?"

Omega raised his eyebrow and said, "You will not use the powers of that little creature or those beasts?"

He found it hard to believe that Yang Dao was not willing to use the powers of the beasts behind him. The boy sighed and said, "I have the power of the elements. You better worry about yourself."

Omega snorted and charged towards the boy. Yang Dao had no intention of moving and waited for him to come at him. The speed of Omega was so high that he was upon him in an instant. Omega covered a distance of twenty meters in one step.

His fist made contact with Yang Dao, however, the expected impact did not come. His fist flashed through the young man and the next moment, his body lay on the ground. His senses did not interpret the impact on his face when Yang Dao punched him down.

The numbing pain in his jaw only came after a few seconds. He raised his head and cast a look at Yang Dao. He wanted to ask something but his mouth was not moving. The Dao sensed his gaze and asked, "You want to know how can I evade your punch and also hit you so fast and hard?"

The man nodded and the benevolent dao child spoke, "It is because I am one with nature. The wind is my, and I am the wind. The earth is me and I am the earth."

He waited for Omega to stand up on his feet. He did not wish to kill him but to correct him before he kill him. He wanted him to see the ugly reality. Thus the treatment. Omega stood up and the bruise on his face had already vanished.

He was not a hyper-human but an ultra-human. His genes were altered to a level where his appearance should have changed. He gazed at Yang Dao and said, "You think everyone can get those powers you have from nature? NO, WE CANNOT."

Yang Dao shook his head, and said, "The reason not everyone gets these powers is very simple. It is because you people seek to rule over nature instead of becoming one with it. The flaw is not with your body but your mind. The thoughts you have, to always exploit and take from the world without giving it anything back.

You think that just because you have a better conscious and brain you can do what you want on the planet, right? You think that you can get anything you wish as long as you have money without paying for it. Let me ask you, what was the price of your strength? The pain you suffered, what was the reason for this price you paid?

You may have gained strength better than the rest. You may have gained a life longer than the rest. However, what have you achieved? How many times have you looked around you to enjoy the sceneries of the world? Your strength was nothing but for naught. You hid all your life inside that lab of yours, never to have any joy or calm in your mind.

The price you paid for this was? Your humanity. You wanted to make humans equal, and independent of nature, however, you lost your ways. You were nothing more than a failed experiment at the end of the day."

Omega was hurt by these words. He wanted to come up with a retort but was unable to. Yang Dao was the Dao Child, and he was a mortal who lost his ways in his twisted pursuit. The reason he was still affected by this preaching was that deep inside his core, there was a flickering spark of humanity. The root of his origin was not the void or the pursuit of his life.

It was humanity. He was born a normal human, as Yang Dao could see through what he has been through, he found a soul that discarded his humanity to save himself. Yes, his family suffered things that normal people would not even be able to imagine.

...

Omega was born as a boy in a peasant family, he was named, Noah. His family were all people who tilled their lands. Noah was a jolly boy in his childhood. However, one day the village was bombed. His country was at war. He was just five at that time.

Noah's mother died from a bomb erupting on their house, while he and his father ran away. The boy was helpless and did not even know what was happening. He was seven when he found out. He wanted to be strong, and thus he tired everything he could.

Martial arts, gyming, education and a lot of sports. However, he discovered that his labor did not bore fruit. At least not how he thought they would. One fine day, he found out that his brain was better than the rest. Thus he dedicated his time to all this research. Gradually becoming what he had become.

Yang Dao gazed at him and said, "Your pursuit of power should have came to an end when you failed to get elemental prowess. However, you began to experiment on people and even the girl you love was not spared.. You should cease you exist."
