I Wish the Land Peace, but You Force Me to Be Selfish?

I have a wish: may I establish the heart of Heaven and Earth, secure the lives of the people, carry on the lost teachings of the sages, and bring peace to all generations!

I have a wish: may the rivers and mountains I cherish remain safe, and may everyone in this world live in peace!

"You little brat, all you do is make grand claims! With your level of strength, how could you ever pull that off?"

Then I wish to be a prodigy at cultivation. No, not a prodigy, a genius! The kind that appears once in a hundred years, ten thousand years... or even a billion!

"So selfish. Granted!"

From then on, the young man who had emerged from a city full of white-haired soldiers set out on an invincible path, seeking only to perfect himself.

Years later, amid the endless world of mortals, that laughable grand wish had somehow come true, one part at a time!
