Chapter 68 Fear! (2)
Fear!
The primal fear!
We feel fear naturally... It is something that is engraved in all living beings!
Fear is an instinctual defense mechanism developed in the nature of humans itself!
The question of whether emotions are learned or we are born by it was never a mystery!
It was clear as the sky to everyone that we are born with all emotions.
The baby is born, upon being hit on his but he starts crying! It means he feels pain!
The baby cries when he feels hungry!
The baby laughed when he find something new!
We are all born we emotions, and the rest of our life is spent gauging which thing produces which emotion.
We know emotions by birth but we don't know what produces them!
Like a baby might be unaware that fire can cause him pain!
Once he puts his hand near the fire, he will feel the scorching heat and learn about the pain felt by fire for the first time in his life!
The baby knew pain already but he wasn't aware of what causes it...
Fear was the same!
Everyone is born to survive!
Fear is essential for our survival!
But why were people feeling fear after seeing the gruesome scene made by Xia Tian?
He wasn't hitting them?
So why were they feeling fear?
Humans are relational beings by nature! We carve for others' acceptance.
Everyone has once in their life must have felt the urge to kill someone... Right?
So why didn't they kill?
Was it the prison sentence that stopped them?
Maybe yes, or maybe no!
When the adrenaline is high, our minds don't think about the consequences!
One of the important factors which stop one person from killing another is social acceptance!
The fear of being alienated by society!
The fear of facing the judging gazes!
The fear of being frowned upon by your own family!
All these social fear stops you from killing someone in heat!
Currently, the cultivators around the arena felt fear as Xia Tian was too unrelatable to them.
He was completely unlike them!
Their thoughts were like this:
'How can someone be so brutal! The man is already dead, why is he still hitting him?'
'Ugh! I can't see this scene! what if I was there
'His eyes are soulless without any luster and filled with the cold!'
'I can never imagine doing something like this!'
The people were subconsciously comparing what they can do against what Xia Tian was doing.
They felt that: what if they were in Xia Liang's place?
Death doesn't scare them! But dying like this?
In the end, everyone felt Xia Tian was too different from them.
When someone is different from us, we try to transform them into a similar version of ourselves...
But can they transform Xia Tian?
What if he starts killing them?
In the end, at the thought of being killed the primal fear kicked in!
And they felt fear!
The primal fear which has kept humanity alive from dangers!
Xia Tian raised his hand for one last time and...
*Boom!*
His fist landed on the ground and there was no flesh anymore.
The whole head of Xia Liang was destroyed.
Xia Tian stood up and nodded in agreement after seeing a headless figure of Xia Liang lying on the ground.
'This is not the level of brutality an eighteen-year-old can possess...' Luo Xue thought in her heart.
The action of Xia Tian was not something a mortal can do!
Most will be unable to hit the man, once he is dead!
Most will get tired!
But he kept going!
For a whole hour, without any stop, he kept hitting on the same spot with his same lusterless eyes!
Not a single emotion was displayed!
He was neither enjoying it nor he felt any bad!
He was just... Emotionless!
There were no ripples in Xia Tian's eyes after doing such a gruesome act, he looked toward the crowd with a huge smile.
He raised his both hands in the air and laughed.
"I won!"
Nobody cares about winning or losing at this time!
"Don't look!" one of the women turned her kid's face to another side.
The woman's faces flushed, as many were forced to look sideward.
The men frowned unable to digest the truth!
Xia Tian was completely naked!
There was not a single cloth in his body!
The fire has burned everything!
The naked man with wings was laughing without care!
It was a scene to behold!
The big thing below him kept swinging making the men envy while women blush in shame!
'That's too big!' Meng Hui exclaimed in surprise.
'What is trying to do? Showing off his goods? .... But I had to agree his abdominal muscles are indeed good, ugh! What am I thinking?' Long Meihui instantly shook her head removing the wicked thoughts from her brain.
Nyx sighed and shook her head.
A bitter smile formed on her face.
*Shuaa!*
She waved her hands in the air, and a set of new clothes appeared in her hands.
She took a step and arrived next to Xia Tian.
"Wear this!"
She poked Xia Tian lightly with her finger and said.
In reality, this woman was feeling embarrassed by his acts!
Xia Tian was too shameless!
"Mm?" Xia Tian turned around and saw Nyx holding a set of clothes
'Why is she giving me clothes?' he thought confused.
[Haha, master, look at yourself! You are naked! ] Luo Xue laughed and said, though she was not at the scene she still felt embarrassed.
She was trying to hide her embarrassment with laughter.
Luo Xue has seen Xia Tian multiple times naked!
But, both are different situations!
Dual cultivating within four boundaries and walking naked are two different things!
Listening to Luo Xue's voice and after observing Nyx's embarrassed face, Xia Tian soon understood the situation.
He nodded his head gently towards his daughter.
Though, the man had no intention to wear anything!
Today he will show the world what he is!
Haha, bow peasants, Xia Tian is coming!
With such imaginary thoughts, he started approaching the people in the arena, in the same naked state.
"Tian!" Nyx chased behind him, her face was flushed as Xia Tian was running naked.
The cultivators instantly left seeing Xia Tian approaching them.
Xia Tian wasn't discouraged.
"Huh, did they get an orgasm just by seeing me?"
He whispered to himself and moved to the other side of the audience and a similar scene followed.
A wry smile formed on Xia Shuiyao's face.
She felt Xia Tian was truly shameless!
How can he go around naked in front of everyone?
Though the cold woman was a bit surprised by Nyx's reaction, she earlier felt Nyx as an indifferent woman incapable of showing any reaction, yet in front of Xia Tian, the woman showed emotions, though it was rare yet it was present.
The woman soon shook her head and smiled wryly.
She felt her life wouldn't be boring with him around.
The man constantly seeks trouble!
In the space.
A large figure was approaching the ancient realm, his figure was half the size of that realm itself.
Behind him followed two more figures.
"What?" he halted in his tracks, as he saw a Phoenix being burned in a strange fire.
The men behind him stopped and approached him.
"What is that?"
One of them asked, he had four hands while his skin was covered with green scales, and his size was as big as the first one.
"It's a phoenix!" another one answered.
This time it was the human who answered, he appeared to be leading both of them.
"But what is that strange flames surrounding it?"
Another one questioned.
It was a man with long black hair and red eyes, he belonged to the demon race, and his size was also similar to the other two.
It was clear that all three were immortals!
The human leading both was a divine overlord!
While the demon and the scaled man behind him were at peak of the divine preceptor realm.
Though, all three had one thing in common!
It was God!
The word God was written on their forehead!
It wasn't rare for immortals to write their clan name on their heads... But what's with God?
At the time Xia Tian disappeared, there was no clan named God in the immortal world.
Was it newly established?
If yes, who was brave enough to call himself a God?
God is a very subjective term, for people without cultivation: cultivators are God, while for mortal cultivators: Immortals are God.
In the end, God has different meanings for everyone.
There even existed an era in this world, when Immortals used to call themselves gods...
It was called the Era of Gods.
There was a realm ten times larger than the divine realm!
It was called heaven!
It was ruled by an immortal called God of Heaven!
It was the most prosperous time for immortals!
Yet, everything was destroyed all due to one man!
Who else it can be other than Xia Tian?
He fucked God of Heaven all wives and daughters!
The immortal witch was one of the wives of God of Heaven!
She was also fucked by Xia Tian, yet since her purity was not intact and she did not have any daughters so she was not taken as a toy by him.
The immortal witch was still alive! She survived the fall of the era of Gods!
How did the greatest era come to fall?
Well, when the God of Heavens come to know of Xia Tian's deed, he was angered beyond words!
He started madly searching for him while destroying multiple realms.
Centuries passed but he found no trace of Xia Tian!
God of Heavens was truly unaware that the man he was madly searching for was nowhere but in his palace.
While the God of Heavens was madly searching for Xia Tian, he was fucking his daughter and wives left behind in God of Heaven's holy palace.
God of Heavens never found Xia Tian and kept destroying realms.
Soon, other immortals decided to put an end to his madness!
Yet God of Heaven was too strong!
No one was able to stop him!
God of Heavens alone killed tens of thousands of cultivators in the immortal realm!
He bought the fall of the great Era of Gods!
In the end, he was soon subdued by an army of Immortals!
The God of Heavens was killed after a huge war!
The immortal world was forced to regress to its lowest point!
Then comes the great desolate era, it was nothing but immortals restoring powers and rising back to glory!
After that, beings like the Divine emperor were born which alone united the whole immortal world!
It bought the desolate era into existence!
The current era was known as the desolate era!
Eras were fallen due to Xia Tian!
The man was still alive!
Would the desolate era be able to sustain Xia Tian?
Would this peace last for long?
..........
A/N: The chapter is over!
Today I had a very interesting encounter!
A day before yesterday, I called my friend and asked him, 'Are you coming to the gym'.
'Yes,' He replied.
"Oh, But I am not going today," I said in response.
After a few more words, I ended the call.
This is the normal conversation that took the day before yesterday.
Now, let's see what happened today.
I called my friend again, and after a few rings his phone was soon connected.
"Are you coming to Gym' I asked.
There was silence on the other side.
Soon, he replied. "Are you not coming today as well?"
He asked me back.
I was stunned by his words, and soon I laughed and replied "Of course, I am coming, I was asking about you, Idiot."
This was the conversation from today.
But what's the meaning of these two conversations?
Well, notice the conversation which happened today...
What I asked him was: Are you coming today?
To which he replied: "Are you not coming today as well?"
My question and his reply were totally out of sync!
My question was asking him, that whether he is coming or not!
He could have replied, yes or no!
So why did he ask about me?
Where did he learn it?
What formed his behavior?
It was formed by his expectations from our conversation which happened the day before yesterday!
He assumed a different meaning of my words due to his past experience!
In a single simple conversation, you can conserve how he learned from his past experiences and behaved accordingly!
This is a perfect example of behavior being learned due to our past experiences!
You can also see, how he assigned a completely different meaning to my words!
A simple conversation between two men, yet no one could think so many complexities were hidden behind it!
Now, think about your behavior!
Can you imagine, how many complexities are hidden by your behavior that you aren't aware of?
Can you imagine how your past and your interpretation of it have formed your today's behavior?
