Douluo: Unbeatable from Capturing a Goddess

"Our pride endures. On what basis have we, since ancient times, looked down upon other forces from the depths of our hearts? On what basis do we qualify to despise them?"

"Isn't it because we are upright and honorable?"

Luo Tiance's words, each and every phrase, were vigorous and powerful, echoing in the conference room. The eyes of everyone else lit up, ignited with passion. They all felt a flame burning in their chests, a belief rising within them. Zhao Yingtian and Cao Zei's gazes shifted, no longer firm in their thoughts.

"Great Xia may perish, but the pride of Great Xia endures forever."

The light in Luo Tiance's eyes was as bright as a torch, as if piercing through time.

"I believe that we are not afraid of death, and our descendants are even less afraid. What we truly fear is the day when the flame in our chest is extinguished."

His gaze resolute, he looked at everyone and declared decisively:

"Give them time, let them grow. If anyone dares harm my people, invade Our Great Xia..."

"They will be pursued and eliminated, no matter how far!"

"Well said!"

Zhu Wushi was impassioned, slamming his fist onto the table. The conference table, made of nanmu and reinforced with metal, instantly caved in.

"That's right, those who offend Our Great Xia, however distant, will be pursued and eliminated!"

Luo Tiance continued:

"Also, don't think that our descendants are bound to lose."

"Have confidence in our younger generation."

"If we can crush those from beyond our borders, why can't our descendants slay the God's Child?"

Zhu Wushi burst into hearty laughter.

"Exactly, exactly!"

"They are but a bunch of youngsters. The sons of Our Great Xia must be strong. I refuse to believe that our younger generation cannot withstand them."

"Old man here can still live another hundred and eighty years. If needed, I'll step in."

Liu Shengji said with a smile, "Don't worry, Our Great Xia has weathered many hardships. In history, every time a great calamity has struck, countless outstanding individuals have risen to meet the challenge. They have their God's Child, but our younger generation certainly possesses the strength to fight."

Cao Zei snorted, "Heh, who doesn't know about your family's Liu Sheng Tan's extraordinary talents? Even before the awakening of the Heroic Spirit, he has already shown exceptional gifts."

Liu Shengji glared at him.

"I think that Little Cao Zei you all are hiding away has a talent that far surpasses yours."

The light in Cao Zei's eyes shifted as he sneered.

"Speaking of which, doesn't each family have its prodigy?

"The Little Martial God of the Zhao Clan, the Killer of the Qin Family, the Double-Pupil Overlord of the Xiang Family..."

"Seems like only Director Luo's household has been quiet, hasn't it?"

Luo Tiance's indifferent gaze swept over him.

"You wouldn't be mistaken for mute if you stayed silent."

Zhao Yingtian laughed, "Considering the time, Elder Luo's grandson should almost be born. Have all the gifts been prepared?"

"Of course they have been." Cao Zei said with a smile, "Luo Director-General, surpassing you is probably out of the question for us."

"However, my grandson Sun Cao Po Tian surpassing your grandson shouldn't be a big problem."

"Oh?"

Luo Tiance glanced at him sideways and shook his head without speaking.

"Eh, you don't believe it, do you?" Cao Zei pressed, "The old man has been suppressed by you all his life. I don't believe the grandsons can't overcome."

Luo Tiance turned to look at the others.

"Do you all think the same?"

The rest of them bore eyes lit with provocative flames, full of confidence in their own younger generations' formidable talents.

Only they knew how frightening their own little demons could be.

Zhu Wushi declared, "This time, our Zhu Clan's Dragon grandson will surely win back all of our honor."

Luo Tiance looked out the window, gazing in the direction of his home.

"All I hope for is that my grandson can be born safely, living a life of peace and wellbeing, free from disasters and difficulties."

"Talent and intelligence?"

"Are they important?"

"All I wish is for him to be happy. That's enough."

"As for the responsibilities of Great Xia, let me, as an elder and a grandfather, shoulder them."

Everyone was moved. For a moment, the being who seemed like the Da Xia Guardian God, a divine figure, now appeared to have descended into a mere mortal.

Cao Zei sighed, "Elder Luo, with your talent not passed on, it truly is a pity, a loss for Huaxia."

Luo Tiance shook his head.

"I have dedicated a lifetime to Great Xia, without regrets. I would sacrifice this old life at any moment."

"My son, in his defense of Great Xia, was crippled in battle, becoming a man who could no longer cultivate.

"This time, I truly want to be selfish for once."

"I want my grandson to grow up safely and happily. That's all that matters."

As he spoke, Luo Tiance seemed to stoop slightly, and in that moment, he was no longer the resolute Da Xia Guardian God."

He resembled more a man in the twilight of his life, a loving grandfather...
