Chu Hao was in a daze. He felt that he was as stupid as a pig … No, he was even stupider than a pig. Why did he do that?!
He could have saved his companions. He had a slight understanding of how the Path of Backtracking worked. Every time he pulled back a companion's soul, he would have to go back to the most important choice he had made in the past. He would have to go through that difficult choice, but … as long as he could endure it in the end, endure that heartache, then everything would be better. The future would definitely be better …
He … Why did he go against the past?!
Companions … How should I face you all …
Sister … Such a warm embrace …
Two completely different thoughts converged in his mind, making him feel like he was about to collapse …
"Okay."
All of a sudden, Zhang Heng's body trembled as he sat beside Chu Hao. He tried his best to stabilize himself. After that, he picked up the broken cigarette that had spilled onto the ground from his pocket when he was beaten up by Ares. He placed the crumpled cigarette holder on his mouth and said to Chu Hao, "Hey, don't be in a daze. Help me light it up."
Chu Hao was forced to recover from his nostalgia and vexation. He glanced at the cigarette butt in Zhang Heng's mouth, then looked at the battlefield full of holes around the Path of Backtracking. His heart softened, and he got some sparks to light Zhang Heng's cigarette. He then leaned against the big rock behind him and said, "You … Have worked hard too."
"Yes, it was very hard. Let me tell you, the situation at the time was like this …"
Zhang Heng took a deep breath and laughed. Then, as if he was showing off, he changed the story of how he fought with Ares hundreds of times and how Ares was helpless. Chu Hao knew very well that Zhang Heng … must have fought with his life on the line. This was his companion, just like the companions he wanted to revive …
After Zhang Heng finished, Chu Hao lowered his head and said, "I've disappointed you. I … failed. I didn't revive anyone. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have …"
"What are you talking about!"
Zhang Heng patted Chu Hao's shoulder forcefully again. However, his palm immediately cracked and fresh blood flowed out. Zhang Heng frowned but didn't mind it. He said directly, "I saw the entire process of your resurrection. I saw every single process. So …"
Chu Hao was silent for a while before saying, "So … I've disappointed you. I shouldn't have done that. I should have revived them …"
"You did the right thing!"
Zhang Heng's voice suddenly became louder. Then, he took a deep puff of the cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and said, "You did the right thing! I'm not being sarcastic, forgive me for being so unrestrained … Alright, to be more serious, if you had still abandoned your sister back then, I would have despised you, looked down on you, and would never have forgiven you! "
"… Up to you." Chu Hao held back for a long time and finally squeezed out these two words.
"Up to you!" Zhang Heng took another puff of the cigarette and suddenly found that he had smoked the butt of the cigarette. He threw it away helplessly and said, "Companions can be revived more than once. Yes, yes, yes, I heard you say that every time the Road of Backtracking resurrects someone, if it doesn't succeed, they will have to wait a year before they can be revived again. But think about it, we are in the World of Samsara, and the flow of time is different. It might take about three World of Samsara, or even less, for them to be revived again. Next time, don't think about reviving them all at once, because the past … is too damn heavy. No one can bear it all.
Chu Hao slowly raised his head and looked at Zhang Heng in surprise. Then, he said in his usual calm tone, "Since when … did I need you to comfort me?"
At this point, Chu Hao stood up and lifted his head to look at the crack in the sky. He said, "Don't worry … I'm not someone who can be defeated so easily. If I fail this time, I'll try again next time. As long as there's a chance for me to rise again, I'll definitely not despair … Forget it, just like what you said, I'm too greedy. Next time, I'll start by reviving one or two people."
"As for now … I'm looking at the state team."
In this Netherworld Plane Fragment, Chu Hao and Zhang Heng were not the only ones who were waiting. On the other side, the Underworld King Hades was more anxious than anyone else. He floated in mid-air and looked at the crack in the sky anxiously. He even kept on mumbling. No one knew if he was praying or cursing.
Below, in Varro's stone house, Perseus and the others had also hidden inside. Although there was nothing inside and a snail without a shell was glaring angrily at them, they did not mind at all. They were also looking at the crack in the sky.
"Do you guys think he's afraid?"
A newcomer in the expeditionary army suddenly asked.
Everyone looked at him, making him feel a little embarrassed. Then another old soldier said, "He must be afraid. Didn't he call out for his master earlier? He had already pledged allegiance to one master, but in order to survive, he pledged allegiance to a new master. If the new master fails, do you think he'll be able to survive? "
The newcomer nodded repeatedly. However, after a long time, he regained his senses and said, "But if that's the case, won't we die too? Why don't I have anything to worry about now? And you guys don't seem to be worried. "
The old soldier knocked the newcomer's head, looked around, and said, "I don't know if everyone thinks the same as me, but at least I have my own thoughts. I think … hahahaha, it's not bad to let a god like Hades die with us, right?"
At this time, Aio also said, "The richer the person, the more afraid of death. The more powerful the person, the more afraid of death. The more powerful the person, the more afraid of death. Death is equal, but before we die, we are not equal compared to Hades. He has lost much more than us, so he has to worry much more than us."
After these words, everyone was speechless. Although they said so, even ants would drag out their lives. They also had their own expectations in their hearts.
On the other hand, at the place where Law escaped from the seal, the sea of blood that Law scattered around the area gathered and gave birth to a large number of creatures. Some were strong, some were weak, but as soon as they were born, they began to devour each other. Unfortunately, Lin Juntian and Liu Yu, as well as Zeus and Athena who were weaker than mortals, were trapped in the middle of the sea of blood.
"Brother Lin … That was the one from the hut in the forest, right?" Liu Yu threw out a card and instantly, a group of Elven swordsmen appeared and dismembered an eight-legged monster that was charging at the four of them. After that, Liu Yu asked Lin Juntian worriedly.
Lin Juntian's face was also filled with worry, but he managed to conceal it and said in a comforting tone, "Don't worry, Leader is much stronger now. Moreover, the one that flew over wasn't big and was much weaker than the one from the hut in the forest. Perhaps … Leader can win."
Liu Yu nodded. Then he glanced at Zeus and Athena. "By the way … why did you come over? We have no obligation to help or protect you."
Athena smiled and didn't say anything. Zeus closed his eyes and didn't say anything. These two gods also cared about their face. Even though they were scared out of their wits, they still wanted to save as much face as they could. Moreover, they would occasionally peek at the crack in the sky.
Life or death?
All the creatures in the Underworld were paying attention to the crack in the sky. All of a sudden, a figure flashed through the crack in the sky. Everyone held their breaths and tried their best to look. That figure …
It wasn't tall, only had a head, two arms, and a pair of wings. It was flying down to the ground from the crack in the sky. That was …
