"Ah?"
Wang Nan couldn't keep up with the God of Love's sudden leap in thought.
Just now, he was listening to the God of Love tell her story, how she integrated her power into the entire Douluo Continent to save its World Will, and how the creatures on the continent were affected by some of her power, causing some changes.
He didn't expect the God of Love's next sentence to be an inquiry about whether he wanted to inherit her God Position.
"I can't help it. I'm no longer the God of Love, but for so many years, I haven't found a suitable person to inherit my God Position."
"Originally, in the past ten thousand years, the assessment grounds I left behind have been rumored to be a terrifying place, and fewer and fewer people have come here, let alone those with suitable cultivation."
"And whenever people mention 'God of Love,' they always think of romance and such, rarely anyone thinks further."
The God of Love said, shaking her head gently as she walked through the flower bushes, "That's why I like you so much. You're different from everyone else. For you, 'love' isn't just romantic love. In your eyes, other sentient beings are no different from humans themselves."
"Being able to treat every living being equally, you're actually quite suitable for my God Position."
The God of Love's tone carried a hint of lightness. Walking slowly in front of Wang Nan, she was like an ordinary girl, completely unlike a high and mighty God.
The God of Love turned her head, looked at Wang Nan, and blinked lightly.
However, under the gaze of the God of Love, Wang Nan gently shook his head.
Even the God of Love seemed not to have expected someone to refuse a God Position offered to them. Her pink eyes widened slightly.
"Sorry, I'm not suitable for the God of Love's God Position."
Before meeting the God of Love, the deities in Wang Nan's eyes were merely a group of Spirit Masters with higher spirit power Ranks.
The so-called God Position was just a title, a proof of entry to another World. It actually had no real function. Those who held a God Position simply didn't do what a God should do, nor did they possess the corresponding power.
They merely reached a certain level of cultivation, happened to gain the attention of the God Realm, and then went to another World.
That was all.
This was far from the Gods in Wang Nan's mind.
However, now seeing the God of Love before him, hearing her story, and seeing the blooming flowers around them, Wang Nan's perception of the Gods of this World changed somewhat.
If it were before meeting the God of Love, he might not have refused this God Position. For him, what God Position he obtained wasn't really important; he was just pursuing a higher Realm, and all he needed was a credential to enter the God Realm.
But now, he found that a God Position was far more interesting than he had imagined. Through the God of Love's power at this moment and place, he vaguely touched upon the more essential aspects of a God Position. And it was precisely this that made him refuse to inherit the God of Love's God Position.
Influenced by his memories from his previous life, he was indeed different from the people of this World, but he couldn't love every living being equally like the God of Love, nor could he abandon all his power to protect a plane like her.
No one was more suitable for the God of Love's God Position than she herself.
Wang Nan's mind was filled with thoughts, but only a few breaths had passed in the outside World.
The God of Love also seemed to have just come back to her senses, and the initial smile reappeared on her face, "It's okay. Although you refused me, which makes me a little sad, I won't lessen my love for you because of it."
"But you have to think carefully. As the World Will, I now know that this continent has become a place abandoned by the God Realm. Without a God Position, taking another step forward won't be easy."
"Thank you for showing me what a true God should be like, and that's why I cannot accept your God Position." Wang Nan still shook his head.
"You're welcome. Actually, before meeting you, I didn't bring you here to pass on a God Position. You should have already noticed that this World is actually very fragile. It can't accommodate higher-level power and prevents humans like you from reaching higher Realms."
"Too much power will harm it, so in the future, please hold back when you act."
"I understand."
Actually, the power of a Limit Douluo was still within the World's tolerance, but Wang Nan's power was too special. His staff techniques were originally designed to gain immense power by destroying this Heaven and Earth.
"Alright, alright, it's been a long time since anyone came here to talk to me. Since you refused my God Position, can you tell me why you constantly strive to improve your power?"
"Is possessing such powerful strength to rule humanity? Or to uphold justice? Or to change the World? Tell me, maybe I can even help you."
Facing the God of Love's question, Wang Nan didn't know how to answer for a moment.
At first, he was just new to this extraordinary power, which made him unconsciously indulge in it. For others, cultivation would lead to fatigue and exhaustion, but for him, cultivation itself was a novel experience.
Later, with the Awakening of his Dragon spirit, his talent and strength grew higher and higher, and his cultivation never stopped. He continuously improved his Realm because a higher Realm was there, and he felt that he should be standing at that position.
In fact, his previous desire to enter the God Realm was mostly just to see what a higher Realm was like.
But now, seeing the God of Love's power and touching the essence of a God Position, he also had a question: now that he was at the peak of this World, what exactly did he want?
Thoughts churned in his mind. Wang Nan thoughtfully glanced at the God of Love before him. Her question seemed to carry a profound meaning.
The God of Love still looked at Wang Nan with a gentle smile.
The surrounding flowers swayed gently, emitting waves of faint fragrance. The tranquility of the surroundings unconsciously calmed Wang Nan's mind.
The reflected scenes nearby were still constantly changing, showing various loving scenes from all over the continent. For a moment, it seemed as if the entire World was within his sight.
Wang Nan's heart stirred. He simply sat cross-legged among the flowers, gently sniffing the fragrant air, and entered meditation.
As his thoughts settled, scenes from his past appeared before his eyes, and golden light began to flow gradually on his body.
The God of Love watched Wang Nan enter meditation so quickly and single-mindedly. She chuckled softly, then quietly tiptoed past Wang Nan and stepped into the flower bushes, looking at the blooming flowers.
