Chapter 1385: Chapters 1332-1333 Life Simulation–The First Encounter Between Xi and Sui_2 Chapter 1385: Chapters 1332-1333 Life Simulation–The First Encounter Between Xi and Sui_2 It seemed within the vast Royal Capital, if one was not a commoner, he knew them or at least was familiar with their faces.
“Oh?” A hint of surprise appeared in Pei Xuanjing's gaze as he looked at the young man before him.
The young man in front of him appeared to be about twenty years old, his strength close to igniting the Divine Fire and becoming a Demigod.
Of course, the so-called appearance couldn't necessarily represent one's real age, especially in the current world where those who had entered Cultivation naturally had extraordinarily long lifespans.
“My name is Sui. May I ask for your name, friend?” Sui asked with a smile.
This man who called himself Sui seemed very optimistic; his smile never faded from his face.
“You can call me Xi!” Pei Xuanjing suddenly recalled a name from one of his past life simulations.
The experiences from the life simulations, for Pei Xuanjing, were all parts of his life; he never considered them entirely false. At least the trials, sacrifices, and efforts he had experienced were real.
During his time in this world, he couldn't help but remember the life simulation he had undergone in the Desolate World, where All Tribes competed, and the human race was weak, just as it was today.
His original names in this part of the world weren't suitable. Given the naming customs here, neither Pei Xuanjing nor the Immortal Taoist were appropriate, so he recalled a name he hadn't used in a long time: Xi.
The name Xi symbolizes light; he hoped his arrival would bring some light and hope to this world, to make this journey worthwhile.
“Sui, I have traveled to many places, yet people of the human race as cheerful as you are truly rare, especially here in the Royal Capital,” Pei Xuanjing said, expressing his curiosity to Sui standing before him.
When Sui approached, Pei Xuanjing had immediately sensed his presence, but upon discovering that this being was of the human race, Pei Xuanjing did not conceal himself. He wanted to use this opportunity to interact with this member of the human race.
After all, even if the people here weren't from the same world as him, seeing those of the same race, Pei Xuanjing naturally felt an inexplicable trust toward them, at least more so than towards other Tribes.
In this world, not all races assumed the form of the human race. Just as Pei Xuanjing was unwilling to disguise himself as one of the God Clan, those of the God Clan also disdained adopting the forms of other races, generally appearing in their true forms.
Of course, even though he had the intention of initiating conversation, the man named Sui gave Pei Xuanjing a completely different impression.
Strength was the foundation of standing, not only for individuals but also for the entire tribe.
The human race was just one of the All Tribes, still counting as part of the Mortal Clan without gods. Although they were not the weakest, the humans naturally felt innately weaker when compared with the God Clan, which diminished their confidence.
Pei Xuanjing had traveled many places and seen many people of the human race, and even some Demigods among the human race with ignited Divine Fire still bore a trace of inescapable worry on their brows, fretting over their tribes and race.
This was one of the reasons Pei Xuanjing felt disdain for this world. In his view, humans born of heaven and earth should stand confidently between them, filled with joy and happiness, not surrounded by anxiety and fear.
Yet Sui before him was so cheerful, so confident, an exception among the many humans Pei Xuanjing had encountered because Sui's confidence and cheerfulness were innately genuine, not feigned.
“Born between heaven and earth, experiencing the delights of life, shouldn't one be confident, cheerful, and optimistic?” Sui asked, somewhat puzzled.
Although Sui was born into the human race, his upbringing was radically different from that of ordinary humans. He never experienced the things that ordinary humans did, so he didn't have many worries or fears and always maintained a cheerful and optimistic demeanor.
After hearing about Sui's life, Pei Xuanjing could only sigh about how destiny differs from person to person; the environment had shaped his character.
His life was similar to how Pei Xuanjing had compiled it. He was born in a regular human tribe but was extremely fortunate to encounter the King during a royal patrol. The King killed the murderous perpetrator who had destroyed his tribe and adopted him.
Therefore, although he was born a human, Sui always grew up among the God Clan with the King's protection. He faced no dangers and, because his birth prevented him from contesting the King's throne, not even his brothers would target him deliberately.
On the contrary, because of the cultivation talent that Sui displayed, the King supported him vigorously. He was destined to become a high-ranking figure in the kingdom, so nobody targeted him.
This might sound fantastical, but it was indeed the truth. Even in his twenties, Sui still retained a pure heart.
If placed among ordinary humans, Sui might have encountered countless dangers, but within the Royal Capital, protected by others, he lived a cheerful and optimistic life.
Afterwards, Sui invited Pei Xuanjing to travel to the Royal Capital with him. Xuanjing did not refuse this invitation and happily agreed to join him, especially since his goal was to enter the Royal Capital.
The kingdom where Sui resided was known as Fire Country. Fire Country had defeated a Fire God from the Divine Court, a powerful branch of the God Clan. The King was a demigod-level powerhouse. It was said that the King was only a step away from ascending to a Divine Position and entering the Divine Court after his ascension.
Beings instinctively gravitate towards those similar to themselves; this is an innate instinct of living creatures.
Although Sui faced no discrimination or targeting within Fire Country, his appearance as a human was different from the many God Clan members there, and ordinary humans, being part of the Mortal Clan, could not even associate with him.
More importantly, just like Pei Xuanjing was surprised, the mindset of fear and worry common among humans was something Sui could not understand or genuinely empathize with.
Even if he stayed with other humans, their differing societal statuses did not provide him any sense of belonging but rather made him feel out of place, leading to feelings of rejection and loss.
The arrival of Pei Xuanjing brought great joy to Sui because Pei treated him as an equal, without fear, awe, or ulterior motives–things Sui's innocent heart could feel.
Honestly, it was not others' fault, because in this particular world, the human race's status varied, and even if at the same level or even those in the Divine Fire Realm, the authority and position they could obtain were completely different. There was a vast gap between them.
Some feared, some rejected, some envied–reactions varied widely.
But Pei Xuanjing was different. To Xuanjing, Sui's status and identity didn't mean much. He did not care about the other party's position.
In the words of a past life, I don't care about a friend's status because, in any case, their status and identity can't compare to mine.
After all, in terms of Pei Xuanjing's real status, even the gods of this world and the Emperor Monarchs of the Divine Court could not necessarily match up to Xuanjing, let alone others?
Pei Xuanjing treated Sui as an equal simply because he was a human, a human who could communicate with him on equal terms.
After all, given Pei Xuanjing's experiences roaming among various human tribes, he had indeed encountered situations like Sui's before.
Thus, the meeting of the two could truly lead to genuine communication.
