"Nearly three years have gone by since the trial started. Many children had been disqualified. Even many groups are disbanded. Children have grown up and they all tend to be the hero of their stories. Many decided to go solo. Some have already started to walk towards the path to godly-hood, and some are waiting for their time."
"Battle sounds could be heard and the mournful cry of the children reverberates on the island. Dry blood of years passed and despair of youths is forever imprinted in this soil."
"Cultivators fight for themselves? Cultivators fight against heaven? Cultivators are beyond mortal bound?"
"Who decided that?"
"We cultivators fight not for our-self, we fight not against heaven and we are mortals."
"Cultivators are mortal, we follow heaven and protect all."
"For, that is our responsibility."

Clapping sounds could be heard as four girls marveled at the sermon of a young boy in front of them.
I looked at them, smiled, and did a bow of thanks.
These three years have been hectic. All the time fighting and fighting bored my mind. So, at the end of the second year, I stopped fighting and decided to be a philosopher.
My thinking was good but my choice was bad. At first, I had many ideas in mind but thinking deeply about those ideas, I discovered that I am somewhat illiterate. I know the words and quotes but I don't understand what they meant. So, I decided to start with something simple. And that is to talk in front of the audience.
Believe me, it is pretty hard. Even if I knew they were children, I still became nervous. They were children so it was pretty hard to make them understand certain things. So, this full year, I have been teaching these girls the common meaning of life. You could say that I somehow became somewhat of a monk. But it is still a pretty good way to spend time. With no gadgets in hand, stranded on an island with four children, the only way to pass time is by educating the children.
I also taught them basic math and some commonly appraisable human psychology. But these girls were battle maniacs. So, I had to slowly influence them to the new world of laziness and it worked. Spending about four days in a week to battle and other martial arts-related work and the remaining three days lazing around had already become our motto.
Well, what could we do else? Nothing. Except for fighting, we could only sleep, close our eyes, rest, and eat.
Eating animals is a big 'NO' for me. Thankfully the seed finally germinated and grew up to be a splendid tree. And, it bears fruit. This fruit tree is weird. Each and every fruit from this tree compliments each other.
If you eat a fruit, it may taste like an apple. Then if you again eat another fruit while having the lingering aftertaste of the previous fruit, it will taste like a lychee. It is a pretty fascinating experience. So, we have done many combos during this year. From the experience of a year, all I know is: timing matters. Eating fruits at different timing gives many varieties of tastes.
As for hunting..?
Meh…
The only animals, now present on this island are three bosses and the children. Among them, you can kill none and eat none.
But still, happy days are coming soon. Only one day left till I can start my cultivation. Surprisingly, the quadruplets were also born on the same day as me. So, together we are waiting for that fateful day.
That day, when 'All Heaven Scroll' will show its might.
