The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao was surprised by the man suddenly embracing him. He sighed and thought, ‘I let my guard down after all this time of peace.’

Theseus’ complexion turned pale in fright. He snatched back the burly man and made him let go of Yang Dao. He screamed, “Djomdar are you out of your bloody mind you uncultured man! Do you know who is this personage in front of you? How dare you? I… Arrghhh… I will kill you.”

Yang Dao was even more surprised. After all, it was just a hug. Why do you have to kill him? He frowned. Laohu Bai snorted, “Humph.” and the next moment everyone on the deck, except Yang Dao, fell pale.

Theseus immediately knelt and said, “My Lady, please spare us. This sort of scene will never happen again. Please spare us. We will go away and live in seclusion.”

Watching the old man beg for another person, made Yang Dao somewhat strange in heart as well. He asked, “Baibai, stop scaring them.” he turned to her and almost pouted.

How can Laohu Bai be strict after that look? She held down the urge to chuckle and with a poker face took back the pressure. This was innate law suppression. Laohu Bai was the goddess and master of the laws of light and dark. She was the protector of this realm as well, she had the supreme authority in this place.

Yang Dao glanced at the two old people and asked, “Mister Theseus, who is this gent?”

Theseus was surprised and forgot to introduce the man beside him to Yang Dao. Taking advantage of the situation the burly man said, “Lord, my name is Djomdar. I am the second owner of this vessel. I apologize to you for my impulsive behavior. I have heard the tales of all-powerful emissaries appear out of nowhere. When I found your attire matching the description I could not help myself. Please forgive me.”

Yang Dao being a child from the outside world where treachery is common, asked, “Why do you judge me based on the clothes? What if I am using treachery? What if this garment is fake?”

Theseus broke out of his stupor and said, “Lord, the insignia on your clothes is the symbol of balance. None other than the emissary of heavens can wear it. If someone does, then the lighting whip will deal them devastation.”

Yang Dao first opened his eyes wide and then squinted sideways at Laohu Bai. He could sense that this lady has tweaked the rules in this world. So he decided to ask her later. After all, it was a bad thing to confront your comrades in front of outsiders.

Laohu Bai also avoided his gaze by acting as if she was admiring the scenery. outside the deck. Yang Dao sighed and said, “Sir, please stand up first. Also, Mister Djomdar can you tell me why did you hug me? I mean, hearing tales and stories cannot make you react like that.”

He was reading psychology in the otherworld and he could figure out things by the reactions of a human. Yes, the people in this sacred realm were humans, but they were reincarnations. Every human will go through his reincarnations in the realms of the laws they never understood before they could again go back to the secular realm. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

These people will obviously forget about the laws in the secular world and have their own lives. But if they could remember the laws of heaven, then their actions with the laws will determine whether they will ascend or descend. Ascension will send them to the heights of the heavens while descent will send them to the depths of hell.

Yang Dao’s question made Djomdar flinch and the respect and awe in his eyes became even stronger. He said, “Lord, in the records, it is said that once an emissary of heavens come, he or she will be able to restore the balance of our lands. Just like how it used to be ages ago.”

“Do you mean to say that the world is imbalanced?” asked the boy.

Laohu Bai did not say anything but she was worried about how Yang Dao will deal with this situation.

Djomdar sighed and said, “Lord, we, the kingdom of light are at war with the kingdom of the dark.” in his voice, a strain of pain was lingering.

“What do you mean? This world is at war?” Yang Dao opened his eyes wide. He asked again before anyone else can say anything, “Can you tell me the reason for this war?”

Theseus said, “Lord, both sides are struggling to reign supreme in the world. It all started ages ago. We do not know why it started. However, you can find this in the palace of the light.” a tint of hope appeared on his face.

Yang Dao asked him how can he go to the palace of light. Theseus replied to him immediately and gave him a map as well. The boy did not wait and after taking a tour around the elemental vessel he flew away with Laohu Bai.

He did not look back to see that the people on the vessel were kneeling in his direction and worshipping him. Laohu Bai, who had been silent for the whole time asked suddenly, “What did you figure out?”

“A lot. The people do not know that what balance actually is. Theseus was the solemn one but he was filled with light, while Djomdar on the surface was happy but his heart was filled with darkness.

Second, you have made me overrated. Third, the Dao Child of the past did not do a good job here. Fourth, I am very hungry.” Yang Dao replied.

His reply was filled with both serious and funny things. Laohu Bai on the side, smiled when she heard this. The boy did not react like this deliberately. But he was getting a deeper understanding of the laws with his interactions with the people. He has realized the delicate line of balance.
