Arthur went silent.
In the boundless golden space, Arthur faced his past incarnation, the echoes of their conversation still reverberating in the astral realm.
"To become the strongest, you must possess an indomitable and invincible will," the incarnation's voice echoed, emphasizing the gravity of the path Arthur was about to tread.
"An indomitable will," Arthur repeated, absorbing the weight of those words.
The challenge was clear — to stand against the Grand Heavenly Dao, his will needed to be unyielding.
'What he said is true. Although I want to be strong, strong enough to go against the heavens but...'
"You have the will but it isn't solid enough. From what I can see, if the heavens propose a truce, you will... succumb."
*Bang!*
Something clicked in Arthur's mind like a switch, "Never!" His gaze became more focused.
