The Almighty Dragon General

The densely packed black and white bubbles floated in the void, each containing different versions of James. From the powerful Dragon General on Earth towhen he embarked on a path of cultivation, each represented his past experiences, hardships, the cycle of life and death, affection, and hatred. Friends and foes he encountered throughout his life emerged one by one.
Frona said emotionally, “After walking a long journey, people eventually forget why they set out in the first place. However, one of the Great Daoism is cause and effect, which records each living being’s spoken words and deeds. Their fate is a result of their past actions.
“However, your biggest problem is not cause and effect. It’s that you lack the determination to seek the peak of cultivation. In fact, it seems like you’re not interested at all.”
James did not refute her words. Instead, he felt like she understood him well despite being the leader of the Nine Caeloros Gods of Nothingness.

Though many would consider him unambitious, to James, it was meaningful and worthwhile.
Frona looked at James and took a deep breath. “Being tolerant makes one great. Being without desires makes one strong. This might be the essence of your virtue and sincerity.
“However, if you still think like this in your current position, it is a sin. It’s no wonder the opponent could take advantage of your Inner Demon.”
James opened his eyes and retorted, “I’m not as noble as you say. I’m not a saint, and I am not without desires!”
Frona questioned, “Do your desires match your current position and strength?”
James was at a loss for words.
Frona resigned, "You desire to stay, with your wife and children forever
