@firefox1234 : With great power come great responsabilities. It's a little cliché buy it's true.
MC isn't the kind of guy which stay aside and do nothing. Even more if he has the potential to do something.
In this world of eat or be eaten he has to be strong if he want to stay true to his mindset. But this means staying righteous in his way of cultivating too.
Luckily for us the author doesn't want to use the bad tropes such as plot-armor, friendship-power or right-is-might. So we see MC being thorn about what to do and how to do it.
