"Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry, we have long been prepared to sacrifice everything. You don't need to tell us, we know."
Feng Yin said in a deep voice.
Liu Xian was also disheartened, "Living until now, my life is no longer my own. This rotten life, if Eldest Senior Brother needs it, just take it."
Fang He said, "Well, as long as we can defeat that Demon King, a mere life is not worth mentioning."
Zhou Ming smiled bitterly, "Originally, it shouldn't be us who survived, but Senior Sister Fei Ying and the others, so …"
"Enough!"
Ouyang Shang snapped, "What are you doing? Who said you want to die?! "
Feng Yin was stunned. "But … But apart from dying, what else can we, a group of mediocre people, do?"
"Live." Ouyang Shang said, "What I want you to do is this one thing: no matter what, live for me. Now there are only you left in Lingjian School, but as long as you are alive, Lingjian School will not disappear. "
Liu Xian said, "As long as Eldest Senior Brother is alive, there is hope for everything, as for us …"
"There is no one sect in the world!" Ouyang Shang shouted again, "And before they died, they gave their inheritance to you. Do you want you to sacrifice yourself and let everything go to waste? Your life is no longer your own! Each of you carries the inheritance of others, you are not qualified to talk about sacrifice! "
"… Yes, I understand."
"Remember, even if not for yourself, for those who died … Live for me, no matter what happens, you must live!"
After that, Ouyang Shang turned his head to look at Wang Wu.
"I have something to say to you alone."
"Ah? … Oh. "
After Ouyang Shang left with Wang Wu, Feng Yin and the others collapsed.
"Why, why is it us …"
On the other side, Ouyang Shang brought Wang Wu to a secluded room.
After entering the room, Wang Wu looked a little nervous. Ouyang Shang looked at her and smiled, then said, "I haven't said this to anyone, but you must know."
"… Me?"
"Three days ago, I single-handedly charged into the lair of the Demon King."
"What!?"
"Don't be so surprised. Previously, he was severely injured by the Demon Wolf Fenrir and Master and Martial Uncles. His strength is no longer at its peak. As for me … "
Wang Wu nodded lightly. She had known for a long time that Ouyang Shang's true strength was far beyond the imagination of others. After more than ten years of experience, Ouyang Shang had already taken the lead.
"At that time, I found an excellent opportunity to strike. According to my calculations, I should have a 70% chance of killing the Demon King. But when it comes to actual combat, I don't even have a ten percent chance of winning. "
"Why?"
"Because my luck was stolen … and it even became an obstacle. You should know that I've always been favored by the earth, and the effect of my Earth Element Celestial Technique is especially good. But in the battle with the Devil King, every step I took felt like my feet were stuck in the mud, and there were layers upon layers of resistance. I couldn't even feel the Earth Element Spiritual Qi during the battle, and when I absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, I lacked one of the five elements. Also, the King Pill sometimes trembles and doesn't listen to me. "
"…?"
"Do you remember that I once told you about the origin of the so-called luck?"
"Do you think that Nine Regions can be regarded as an intelligent creature, and the luck is an investment in Nine Regions?"
"Yes, and since it's an investment, of course, it can be recovered." Ouyang Shang said, "At least, it can be understood that the Demon King has a higher management authority than me."
"A higher management authority?" Wang Wu was surprised. "How is that possible? Your luck is given to you by the Nine Regions, which means that the entire continent recognizes you. How could the Demon King have enough management authority to recover the luck? "
"Probably because the true identity of the Demon King is … the Fallen Immortal." Ouyang Shang said.
"Fallen Immortal?"
"Yes, but it's just my guess: the limit of a cultivator is to ascend to become an Immortal. Although the scene of the Immortal World has never been spread in Nine Regions, it would not be a dead water. I think there will also be competition, contradiction, conflict, victory and defeat. The winner will continue to live high in the Immortal World, while the loser will escape into the hell where demons and devils abound. However, they are unwilling to fail and want to make a comeback. That's why there is a crack in the sky. They want to occupy Nine Regions and then return to the Immortal World through Nine Regions. Although they are fallen Immortals, they are still Immortals, and their strength has exceeded the limit of Nine Regions. And since they can become Immortals among hundreds of millions of cultivators, their understanding and use of luck must be far above that of the cultivators of Nine Regions. But in this way, it means that all the so-called heaven's chosen ones have become worthless in front of the Fallen Immortals. "
"… But, even so, he has been seriously injured and will not live for long."
"Yes, now this Fallen Immortal is no longer a concern, but I'm afraid there's more than one Fallen Immortal. Could it be that he tried to open the passage between the two worlds at all costs in order to welcome those cannon fodder into Nine Regions? Behind the passage is a big world. "
"But the crack in the sky has been filled."
"Before the crack in the sky appeared, couldn't he still enter Nine Regions? If he's dead, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be another one. And at that time, will we still have such good luck to stop it? "
Wang Wu felt extremely heavy in her heart. She was silent for a long time and said, "Why tell me this specifically?"
"Because you have to know."
As soon as her voice fell, Ouyang Shang suddenly stepped forward and held Wang Wu's hand, which surprised her. She struggled subconsciously, but she couldn't break free.
If it was more than ten years ago, Wang Wu would have felt great happiness, but at this moment, she was extremely panicked.
"… It seems that you already know." Ouyang Shang smiled slightly and said, "You're indeed my most promising Junior Sister."
"Eldest Brother, don't …"
However, before her voice fell, a gentle warmth was transmitted from her hand. Wang Wu resisted even more intensely, but under the absolute suppression of Ouyang Shang, she had no choice.
After struggling for a while, Wang Wu finally gave up. The power from her palm became more and more warm, constantly infiltrating her whole body inside and outside, nourishing her body, Jade Mansion, and primordial spirit … It made her more powerful. Moreover, it made her more powerful from the root.
This kind of inherited method that could improve other people's aptitude and root bone could be said to be the first in the history of Nine Regions. However, as the beneficiary, Wang Wu felt heart-wrenching grief. She raised her head high and tried not to let the tears in her eyes flow down. "Why me?"
"Because only you have this ability." Ouyang Shang's tone has been stained with a trace of exhaustion. "Other people don't know your real talent, but how could I not see it? Don't forget, it was me who advocated for you to join the golden generation. "
"Senior Brother, I just …"
"Yes, you're just a mediocre person with a low-rank spirit root. Others laugh at you for having a natural fifth-rank spirit root, but they don't know that you actually don't even have a fifth-rank spirit root … It's a miracle for you to achieve your current achievement with a low-rank spirit root."
"Sure enough, Senior Brother, you've already seen it."
"It's not just me, some of the Elders have also seen it. Otherwise, with your previous achievement, it shouldn't be so difficult for you to enter the golden generation." Ouyang Shang said, "If your spirit root doesn't enter the middle-rank, there's no hope for you to take the King Pill. Even if you have the help of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, it's impossible to cross the threshold of Yuanying Stage. This is the common sense since ancient times. "
Wang Wu bitterly said, "That being the case, Senior Brother, why did you …"
"Because I never believe in common sense. At least, I never believe that common sense can restrain you. You've broken too many common sense to be able to come all the way to this day."
"How can my achievement be considered as breaking common sense?" Wang Wu shook her head, "Not to mention Eldest Senior Brother, even among the other Senior Brothers and Sisters, there are many people who are stronger than me. They're not worthy of Senior Brother's attention."
"Having external help is not enough." Ouyang Shang sighed, "In the golden generation, there are too many people who are favored by the Heaven and Earth, blessed by luck, so they can advance triumphantly all the way. Among them, I can be regarded as the best. But you have neither outstanding talent nor any luck – in fact, I'm afraid you're much more unlucky than ordinary cultivators. But you've still come this far, keeping abreast of the other people who are blessed by the Heaven and Earth. Because your inner strength is far stronger than others: you work harder than anyone else, you're more determined than anyone else … and you're smarter than anyone else. You have the true aptitude of a low-rank spirit root, but you can cultivate a cultivation technique that can only be cultivated by a middle-rank spirit root. Your understanding and creativity of cultivation techniques have long surpassed anyone, even I am ashamed of my inferiority. "
"That's just an insignificant skill, no matter how hard I work, it's nothing more than going from low-rank to middle-rank … what's the point of this achievement?"
"Whether it's an insignificant skill or not, it's meaningless, why bother deceiving yourself and others? Junior Sister Wang Wu, one day, you will shine in Nine Regions. "
"Shine in Nine Regions? Senior Brother, you think too highly of me. "
"I've never overestimated anyone. In my opinion, you're only lacking one thing."
"Huh?"
"Sense of responsibility. What you lack is a sense of responsibility. For a long time, you've been cultivating alone under the brilliance of other Senior Brothers and Sisters, indifferent to the outside world, and even introverted and autistic. This is not because you lack the ability, but because you don't want to take more responsibility and actively avoid all opportunities to perform. If the golden generation can grow up smoothly, then there would be other people to support everything in Lingjian School, and it would be fine if you want to be good to yourself. But now the situation has changed! There's no pillar around you, so you have to stand up and support it all yourself! "
"I … I don't have confidence." Wang Wu felt the increasingly turbulent energy pouring into her palm, and the panic and wavering in her heart could no longer be suppressed.
Ouyang Shang said, "I know you don't, but I won't give you the chance to escape."
With that, an unprecedented abundant energy poured into Wang Wu's body.
"I've given you everything, so you can't escape, right?"
Wang Wu finally couldn't help but cry out, "Big Brother, you're too cruel! You know very well that I never wanted your inheritance and inheritance, never! I just want to cultivate in peace and quietly like someone … How can you be so cruel!? If you want to eliminate the demon king, if you want to revitalize the sect, if you want to save Nine Regions, then do it yourself! Why do you want to embarrass me? If you think you're not capable enough, then take everything away from me! If I alone am not enough, there are so many people outside who are willing to sacrifice! "
"Sacrifice can't solve anything, only survival can win!"
"Then you must live! Don't throw everything to me and then sacrifice yourself! "
"Listen!" Ouyang Shang grabbed Wang Wu's shoulder and said, "Listen, I have my own things to do, and you also have your own things to do. You have to live on, live on happily, for a hundred years, two hundred years … live on happily! "
"Live happily!? Watch you die, but I'm happy? Big Brother, don't go too far! "
"Yes, I'm indeed going too far by forcing people to do something they don't want to do … So, I'll give you a reward."
In the inconceivable eyes of Wang Wu, Ouyang Shang suddenly leaned over and gently kissed her on the lips.
At the same time, Ouyang Shang loosened his hand, and his face was filled with a smile of success.
"Sorry, because it's my first kiss, the technique may be a bit poor, so if you don't like it, just forget it."
"…"
"How about this, I promise you: as long as you live happily, then I will definitely come to you."
"Come to me? This kind of promise that deceives a child … "
"Well, although it does sound a bit nonsensical, ask yourself, have I ever deceived you?"
"… Yes."
"… Then at least not this time." Ouyang Shang smiled and hugged Wang Wu, "Believe me this time, I will definitely come back."
Then, he let go of his hand and staggered to stand. After passing all his power to Wang Wu, Ouyang Shang was like an empty shell, but soon, the empty shell ignited with new energy, that was his innate vitality.
"One last thing to do, time is limited, so I won't bid farewell to Feng Yin and the others. Oh right, it probably won't be long before the Wanxian League's reinforcements arrive. At that time, regarding the sects … Forget it, sects exist because of people, as long as you guys are alive, everything will be fine. If you can fight, then fight. If not, then forget it. Remember to take care of yourself. "
After that, Ouyang Shang burrowed into the ground and disappeared without a trace. Wang Wu stretched out her hand to try to catch his back, but to no avail.
Live happily?
"You bastard, you make it sound so difficult …" Wang Wu tried to move her facial muscles to show a smile, but for some reason, every time her muscles trembled, it made her heart ache.
— —
After an unknown amount of time, Feng Yin and the others finally realized something was wrong and rushed over, but they only saw Wang Wu who had wiped away her tears with a smile on her face.
"Where's Eldest Senior Brother?" Feng Yin asked doubtfully.
"Eldest Senior Brother?" Wang Wu still had a smile on her face, "He's probably tired of living and went to die."
"What nonsense are you talking about!?" Feng Yin was furious, but then he remembered their relationship, especially the feelings Wang Wu had for Ouyang Shang for so many years, she wouldn't say such cruel words.
"Junior Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Wang Wu smiled and shrugged, "Nothing, I'm fine, just … following someone's request to be happy."
"Happy!?"
"Yes, the most important thing for people to live is to be happy, and then let others eat … By the way, Eldest Senior Brother said that it won't be long before the reinforcements from the Wanxian League come. You guys might as well think about how to wrangle with those people. Most of our sect's people have died, don't be directly removed from the Wanxian League."
"What? The reinforcements from the Wanxian League? "
"That's what Eldest Senior Brother said, if you don't believe it, then forget it." Wang Wu said and shrugged, "I'm going to take a nap, Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, please help yourself."
— —
At the same time, at the foot of a distant volcano, Ouyang Shang saw the demon king who had been waiting for a long time.
A few months ago, on this mountain, a crack that tore the world opened the passage between the two worlds. The elders of Spirit Sword School sacrificed everything to fill the gap. And now, the eldest disciple of Lingjian School returned here, ready for the final battle.
"Hahaha, sorry to keep you waiting."
"Humph, with the Big Heart Demon Oath, I'm not afraid of you running away! It seems that your funeral has been settled, so let's get started. "
With that, the demon king stretched out his incomplete left hand, crossed the space, and directly pressed it on Ouyang Shang's forehead.
Ouyang Shang's whole body was shocked, but his tone was as calm as ever. "If you win, this body will belong to you. You will have the body of a top cultivator, and the current injury will not be worth mentioning. Thus, you will have the capital to continue to plot in Nine Regions. And if you lose, your memory will belong to me. I will have the knowledge of an immortal, and from then on, my future will be boundless."
"And you won't have any chance of winning." The demon king coldly said and exerted more force on his hand, and a huge force began to pour into his seriously injured body.
The layers of primordial spirit defense built by Ouyang Shang collapsed, and it couldn't even delay for a moment. Soon, the consciousness of the demon king invaded along the opened passage.
The next moment, the demon king's anger boiled.
"You lied to me?"
"Hahaha, I'm bound by the Great Heart Demon Oath, how could I dare to lie to you? As long as you win, my body and Jade Mansion will belong to you. I didn't renege on the debt, I just cleaned up the inventory before coming here. When I sold the house, I didn't say that it must be accompanied by furniture and decoration, right? "
"You!"
"Speaking of which, what do you think of my little camouflage skill? Is it acceptable? "
"Go to hell! If you want to die, go to hell yourself. I promised a girl that I would go back to find her. Sorry, I can't accompany you. You can play by yourself. "
"How dare you! Once this battle starts, it will not end until one of us dies! "
"Hahaha, I didn't say I would make a truce with you. This is a strategic change. It won't be too late for me to regroup and take your dog life after a hundred years! I just don't know if your incomplete soul can hold on for that long, hahaha! "
While speaking, a primordial spirit seemed to want to escape from his swollen body.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
The black rope firmly bound the escaping primordial spirit.
"Hey, don't be so persistent. In any case, your Fallen Immortal World is full of talented people. Even if you die, there will be more."
The primordial spirit kept trying to break free. Although the Demon King refused to let go at all, the power that bound it gradually loosened.
"Don't try. You waste your strength on breaking through, but I bet all my bets on escaping … You can't stop me."
"… Maybe so." The Demon King said in a deep voice, "But don't think you won."
As soon as his voice fell, his body that was full of primordial spirit exploded.
The self-explosion of his body released an unprecedented terrifying power. The thousands of feet high mountain collapsed at this moment, lava poured out, and the area within a radius of a hundred miles was dead silent. The sky changed color, and a faint crack bloomed in the sky again.
Then, the world broke and became dark.
—
"It's over?"
In the darkness, Wang Lu shook his head in a daze. After looking at the memories for so long, he felt that his whole body was a little slow.
"Yes, it's over. What's the evaluation?"
"… This is a bad ending, right?" Wang Lu shrugged. "A big explosion, and then the whole play is over? There are still a lot of things that haven't been explained clearly at all. Big Brother, why did you show me this? “
"Because this is an essential review before the award ceremony."
"Award ceremony?"
Wang Lu asked doubtfully. However, at this moment, a red dot lit up in the darkness. The Demon King with the right half of his body permanently missing appeared in his field of vision.
The Demon King looked tired and weak, no longer as high-spirited as he used to be. And this time, he appeared with a look of relief.
"You win."
As he said that, he handed a round crystal ball in his left hand to Wang Lu. Before Wang Lu could take it, it disappeared.
Big Brother's teasing voice sounded behind him. "Tsk tsk, it's really not easy for the old guy. His resentment hasn't dissipated even after more than a hundred years. Impressive."
Wang Lu was silent for a while. He felt that everything he experienced seemed so out of place. He asked the void, "Was the previous transmigration just a dream?"
"Dream? That wasn't a dream. It was a war, and the result of the war was that you won. "
"I won?" Wang Lu felt that the sense of incongruity was getting heavier. "I don't remember participating in any gambling activity. The so-called victory should refer to the bet you made with the Demon King one hundred and fifty years ago, right? The prize for victory is his memory and knowledge as a Fallen Immortal, but … "
But, it doesn't make sense. The person who made the bet with him is you, but the person who finally accepted the challenge is me. Does this count?
Ouyang Shang said with a smile, "One hundred and fifty years ago, I cheated and took the lead in the gambling fight. However, the Demon King was unyielding, so he self-detonated his body in order to perish together with me. The strong energy coincidentally loosened the corner of the Heaven Mending Technique and shook my primordial spirit into the void … Can you guess what happened after that?"
"… It's not like I transmigrated in the three thousand worlds, right?"
"Haha, at that time, I was lost in the turbulence of time and space for a long time. When I woke up, I found myself in a proletarian country under the rule of the bourgeoisie!"
"…"
"Yes, it's really a dream-like life. There are so many wonderful things in it that it's enough to make people forget about home and home. So, I did hesitate and hesitate … But in Nine Regions, I still owe her a promise. Moreover, it's hard for me to let my Junior Brothers and Sisters face danger in Nine Regions while I enjoy the comfort of a different world alone. "
"So …?" Hearing this, Wang Lu's heart was beating wildly. The truth that he was about to face seemed to be beyond the endurance limit of normal people … However, in the dark, Wang Lu kept hearing the voice in the depths of his heart.
Have you never wondered where you came from?
Have you never wondered where the vague memory of a professional adventurer came from?
Have you never wondered if the so-called Void Spirit Root was really a gift from heaven?
In confusion, Wang Lu heard Ouyang Shang continue to speak.
"So I decided to come back … Of course, it's not easy, but I learned a lot of things in the other world. Moreover, by chance, I got the peerless spirit root that was above the Fallen Immortal. Then, taking advantage of the space shock in the three thousand worlds, I abandoned most of my memory and primordial spirit power and came back through the space-time crack."
While speaking, Ouyang Shang came out of the void. However, what appeared in front of Wang Lu was a face that was exactly the same as his own.
"You …" Wang Lu frowned and stared at the other party. There were thousands of words in his heart.
But in the end, he couldn't say a word.
After a long time, Wang Lu smiled helplessly.
"A beautiful gay relationship has turned into self-masturbation, I'm also drunk."
