Central City, Myriad Island of Immortals.
The azure-robed Tian Yangzi sat before a stone table. He flicked his fingers, and a stream of clear water fell from the sky into the teapot in front of him.
Then, the teapot emitted a green light and turned into a cup of crystal-clear tea, rippling with green light.
Tian Yangzi waved his hand. "Please."
Sitting opposite him was the True God of Thunder, Zheng Wentian's father, True Lord Zi Yang.
True Lord Zi Yang looked at Tian Yangzi and said, "Myriad Island of Immortals' manager, 'Eternal Youth' favored by the Highest Heavenly Lord, why do you have the time to invite a minor god like me for tea?"
"You flatter me, True Monarch Zi Yang. How can immortals like us compare to you, who have been conferred the title of Righteous Gods? True Lord, please don't make fun of me. " Tian Yangzi smiled and said, "I invited Perfected Lord Zi Yang over to thank you for your efforts this time."
True Lord Zi Yang said lightly, "Commanding humans to fight the Sky Demon is the Thunder Division's job. There's no need to thank me."
"Then I have to thank True Monarch Zi Yang for your hard work against the Heavenly Demons." Tian Yangzi praised, "If it wasn't for you going against the opinions of the masses and shrinking the line of defense to avoid conflict, I wouldn't have been able to deal with you.
If that was the case, a great war was about to break out, and the people would be plunged into misery and suffering. True Monarch's actions have saved countless lives. I will use tea in place of wine to toast True Monarch. "
Perfected Lord Zi Yang looked at Tian Yangzi silently. "Tian Yangzi … I remember that in the past … you guys supported the human race's cultivation, right? I remember that several genius mortals nearly broke through to 100% Dao Realization under your support."
"Just a little bit, and the difference is like heaven and earth." Tian Yangzi smiled bitterly. "The difference between immortals and mortals is like the clouds and mud. It's time to wake up. The four Dao Schools are too aggressive now, which is not good for the overall situation. We need to suppress them. "
True Lord Zi Yang said, "I understand what you mean. As for the next four marshals of the Thunder Division … "
Tian Yangzi said solemnly, "Myriad Island of Immortals will support you fully, True Lord."
Perfected Lord Zi Yang nodded. His body turned into light spots and started to dissipate. "There are differences between immortals and mortals, and there are differences between immortals and gods. Don't let others know about our conversation."
Looking at the spot where Zi Yang disappeared, Tian Yangzi sighed: "How cautious. Are you afraid that the other Righteous Gods will know that you are working with us?"
"There are differences between immortals and mortals, and even more so between immortals and gods …"
…
On the second night in the cave where Zhou Bai and company were hiding, Zhou Bai had completely devoured the karmic luck in his sea of consciousness. His Essence Soul Power improved once again.
However, during the battle with the Hydra, Zhou Bai had used up almost all of his abilities. All sorts of acceleration, healing, ugliness, and calamity domains had been activated. As a result, a portion of his laziness had been depleted, leaving him with 950,000 remaining.
"This time, I wasn't able to sell the Gui Hai Black Fiend and the remains of the Sky Demon. What a waste of laziness. However, my Essence Soul Power has increased from 98 points to 4,375 points. It's still a profit. "Zhou Bai sighed." It's really fast. It would be great if I could improve like this every day. "
However, after coming to the Sky Demon battlefield, he had encountered intense battles almost every day. He had even been chased by the level 7 Great Sky Demon.
If not for Zhao Shouyi, he could only activate Time Reversal to escape.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai opened his eyes and looked at Zhao Shouyi. He realized that Zhao Shouyi was still sitting cross-legged and seemed to be cultivating.
Qian Wangsun raised his head in boredom. "You're finally done cultivating? I'm bored to death. "
Zhou Bai smiled and asked, "How is it? Is there any sign of the Sky Demon? "
Qian Wangsun shook his head. At this point, a strange expression appeared on his face. "From the time you started cultivating until now, there has been no sign of the Sky Demon appearing. To be honest, it's a little abnormally quiet."
Zhou Bai said, "Let's wait for the principal to wake up first."
Thus, another six hours of waiting passed. Just as Zhou Bai was wondering if he should go out and look for the Sky Demon, Zhao Shouyi finally opened his eyes.
Zhou Bai asked, "Principal, how are you?"
"I'm fine." Zhao Shouyi stood up and said, "That Great Sky Demon probably has the strength of level 7. We couldn't kill him this time, and he doesn't need to waste time to resurrect. He probably has his eyes on you. You can go back now. I'm going to investigate the situation of the Sky Demon. "
Zhou Bai was slightly stunned. "Where are you going to investigate?"
"The Sky Demon forbidden zone that you discovered." Zhao Shouyi sighed. "I saw Xiao Pei. I'm going to investigate what's going on."
Zhou Bai and Qian Wangsun looked at each other. Actually, the two of them had also discovered the figure that seemed to be Xiao Pei during the battle. However, because the other's appearance was too different from before, they couldn't be sure.
Now that he heard Zhao Shouyi's words, Zhou Bai couldn't help but say, "Principal, Xiao Pei might have already become the Sky Demon …"
Zhao Shouyi: "I know …" He smiled bitterly. "Zhou Bai, Qian Wangsun, do you know? I've been told since I was young that I have to fight for humanity. As long as it's for humanity, even if I have to sacrifice myself, even if I have to give up everything, it's natural.
I agree with this and have lived according to this principle until now. Because I know that humanity is weak. When facing an enemy like the Sky Demon, if we can't unite, it's only a matter of time. If we dare to sacrifice ourselves, then it's only a matter of time before humanity is destroyed.
After all, compared to humans, the Sky Demon is much more outstanding. Whether it's their intelligence, survivability, or teamwork, they far surpass humans.
They might have more right to live in this world than humans, but as a human, I can't accept this outcome.
For a long time, I've always taken sacrifice as a matter of course. My father, my mother, my companions, they left me one by one. I thought that I would be like them, fighting for the survival of humanity at the last moment of my life and sacrificing myself. "
At this point, Zhao Shouyi looked into Zhou Bai's eyes. "I'm about to become deformed. I'm afraid that in one or two months, I'll completely lose myself. That's why I wanted to protect you at the last moment of my life and do my part for humanity's future. "
"But when I'm really about to die, I realized …" Zhao Shouyi smiled bitterly and looked at his palm. In the countless hallucinations, there were countless small cracks on his palm and densely packed scales grew out.
"My mind was filled with my own matters." Zhao Shouyi sighed and clenched his fists. "Right now, I just want to know what's going on with Xiao Pei before I die. Otherwise, I won't accept this … I won't accept this."
"I'm sorry, Zhou Bai. Forgive my selfishness. I really can't protect you now. Right now, the battlefield of the Sky Demon is too dangerous. You and Qian Wangsun should quickly return to West Peak City. Yun Chonghe should already be there. He'll protect you."
