Azief realize that his perspective and the shift in his opinion the more he become stronger.
While he could not allow the people he loves dies or come into harm, he himself did not mind dying if he could see the realization of his path.
Now he understands. And he does not know whether he should be terrified or amazed at that change of opinion.
He now understands that if he could see his Grand Path in the morning, he would mind dying in the evening.
Yet, there is also a part of him that also wanted to survive. To reconcile these thoughts is the one thing in his mind when he was in that Sealed World.
He is a greedy person. He wants happiness and he also wants power. The two thing is not mutually exclusive.
And there was proof that those things are not mutually exclusive. The Immortal Couple did not seek power but they could still attain happiness.
