Heaven Road
1. Origin of Proposition 3

Ancient Tortoise Continent, that was where Yin Sheng lived. Why was it called the continent of the Ancient Tortoise? That's because the shape of the land is so wide like a turtle animal that is lying down.

According to a legend that has existed since time immemorial, this continent is a giant turtle that lived for millions of years ago.

But because of a mistake made by the giant tortoise. The god was wrathful, and turned the body of the giant tortoise and constricted it. The giant tortoise was unable to move.

And as time passed, the tortoise was covered in moss and soil. Plants and trees also slowly grew until finally the continent that now Yin Sheng lived in was created after a process of millions of years.

That was the story that Yin Sheng heard from his mother, while tidying up the violet grass plants in the yard of the house.

"Where do you know such a story?" Yin Sheng was curious about his mother's story. Even though he was only 10 years old, he could think carefully. There was no way his mother could have known such a thing if her mother had never been out of the village where she lived. He had never heard such a story from anyone else in the village. Although he almost every day often interacts with other residents.

"Well..." Xie Qinling was confused to answer her son's question, it was impossible for her to answer if she and Yin Jiang were to seclude themselves in the Green Melati village. "Mother heard from your father, she used to go to the city several times when she was young" Lied Xie Qinling to her only child.

"Go to town? I heard from the merchants it's not easy to go to the nearest town ma'am?" Yin Sheng was so curious to hear new things about his father.

"That's right... There must be a strong person to protect along the way."

"Did you have a strong friend, Mom? Who accompanied my father to the city? Is the person who used to pick up father also a strong person?"

"Dad doesn't need anyone's help to go to the nearby town of Sheng'er..." Xie Qinling gently rubbed her son's hair, giving a warm smile even though she was now feeling sore. Remembering his lover. "To that father's friend... They're also strong, very strong."

"Dad often went alone to the city? Does that mean you're also very strong, ma'am?" Yin Sheng was getting more enthusiastic, his eyes looked so fiery. He wanted to know more about his father.

"Your father is the most powerful man your mother has ever met." Xie Qinling replied as her eyes looked towards the blue sky. Imagining how he had first met Father Yin Sheng.

"Is that really Mom? How many baskets of plants can I carry with me once? Is 10? No. gabe... No. gabe... 20?"

"Haha..." Xie Qinling laughed to herself hearing this one-of-a-kind child question.

"Yin Sheng's... Strong people are not only seen in terms of physical. There are all sorts of powers in this world besides physical strength."

"meaning?" Yin Sheng felt that his mother's words had just been out of his mind which was still the reason for tadpoles.

"You see the merchants a lot, right? They are strong, but they are not physically strong. They are powerful socially or often interpreted as power."

"Ehm..." Yin Sheng could only scratch his head which now felt a little hot.

"You must also often see the merchant guards, right? They are also strong, but they are physically strong. But the guards were subject to the merchants, who in fact were physically much weaker than the guards."

Xie Qinling took out a log, and began to describe the triangle above the ground.

"There are 3 types of strength in outline. Physical strength, social power, and inner strength and mind."

"Physical strength you can see for example from the merchant guards. They could fight bandits or monsters aimed at disrupting the merchants' journey with ease."

Yin Sheng was finally a mangosteen, himself was gaining the enlightenment of the heavens over his mother's explanation just now.

"If it were for inner strength and mind, not everyone could be considered strong. Because this power is the most powerful force."

"meaning?"

"Power of mind... A person with an intelligent and broad mind can defeat his enemy even without moving his hand."

"Without moving your hand? What are they wearing?"

"This and this... "Xie Qinling pointed at her head and mouth. "For example, our Village Chief, he can hurt people who are at odds with just his words. You could say the Village Chief had defeated the two people who were at odds."

Dizziness... That was what Yin Sheng felt at this moment. He was confused to digest every word that came from his mother just now.

"If it is for inner strength, it is even harder to be said to be inner strong. But if the person is already strong inwardly, then he can be strong in any respect. Be it physical, social, or mind."

"Can you give me an example? I don't get it."

Xie Qinling smiled and touched her son's chest. "Inner strength lies here my son."

"Anything strong is a person either physically, socially or mindfully. If he is not strong inwardly it will be free."

"For example... A strong King, he loved his wife very much. The king was strong physically, socially, and mentally. But he is not strong inwardly. And when his wife died, the King broke his heart and lost his spirit. The physical, social, and mind power he possesses is in vain."

"Hem so..." Yin Sheng pinched his chin. His tadpole brain was being forced to work harder than usual.

"You understand?" Xie Qinling amused herself to look at her son's behavior. The philosophy of life like this will certainly be difficult to digest by a 10-year-old child.

"That means if we want to be strong inwardly we can not fall in love, right mom?"

Prancing...

Xie Qinling immediately put on a confused face of her own. Didn't himself think that Yin Sheng would conclude on such a thing.

"You can say that because you are a little Yin Sheng. Someone will definitely experience the name of falling in love, no matter who it is."

"Just how strong our inner self is to be able to endure the pain of loss." Xie Qinling's gaze returned towards the sky. From the look of her eyes was the pain of losing her husband."

Yin Sheng was certainly aware of the change in the look in his mother's eyes. She felt sorry for bringing up her mother's pain. From that one thing, Yin Sheng could understand if his mother was someone who was very strong inwardly.

"I might need to think a long way about that kind of power mom. I'd better go fishing thinking." Yin Sheng felt the need to give his mother time to herself. After all, he also needs to look further at every word his mother had.

"Be careful... Hurry back..." A soft voice came out from Xie Qinling. The word was not only on Yin Sheng, but also on her husband who was currently out of nowhere.
