Fang Yuan was born into a humble family in a world filled with magical powers and cruelty. In his childhood, he appeared to be a cheerful child, but he soon realized that the happiness derived from family love and friendship was merely a fleeting illusion. At a young age, Fang Yuan saw the world with an honesty that was unusual for someone his age. He began to perceive the injustice within society, especially after witnessing how the weak were crushed by the strong. At a certain point, he came to understand that happiness only offered temporary peace. He believed that happiness brought no real change in a person's life and often lulled people into complacency. Those who lived in happiness tended to fall into despair when faced with hardship, as they were unprepared for suffering. As Fang Yuan grew older, he became trapped in a brutal system that governed his world. This system, which centered around power attained through gu worms (magical insects), demanded that everyone survive by their strength alone. In such a world, there was no room for weakness, and suffering became an inescapable part of existence. He was forced to abandon all emotions and human connections in order to survive. Fang Yuan came to understand that this world offered no easy path for those who sought to hold onto happiness. When he lost those he loved or faced betrayal, the pain and suffering he endured became lessons far deeper than any fleeting comfort or joy. These experiences shaped his outlook on life, making him sharper and more grounded in reality. One pivotal moment in Fang Yuan's journey was the realization that only through suffering and sacrifice could true power be attained. In his pursuit of strength, he either witnessed or experienced immense physical and emotional pain. Yet each time he confronted suffering, he found that it brought with it a deeper understanding of the world and of humanity itself. Through suffering, Fang Yuan also learned cunning, resilience, and how to defeat his enemies. Every pain he endured granted him insights that those living in happiness or comfort could never comprehend. In this sense, suffering became both a tool for self-forging and an instrument for reaching higher goals. Fang Yuan demonstrated that he was willing to sacrifice everything for a greater purpose: the pursuit of eternal power. He was prepared to relinquish all that others held dear—family, friendship, emotional bonds—for the sake of true strength and absolute freedom. In his eyes, this was not a sacrifice, but a necessity in an unforgiving world. To Fang Yuan, suffering was not merely about physical pain. The greater suffering came from betrayal, loss, and the bitter truths of life. He knew that happiness was an illusion that led only to weakness. This world valued only those who were strong and unshakable, and only through intense suffering could one find the path to such power. #4upage #fyp #perseverance #fangyuan #reverendinsanity - @gyan_syauqi
