He Had to Go This Way
"Where have you brought me to this time?"
When the Struggle for Supremacy ended, Gu Zichen had taken Ye Zichen away. They were currently surrounded by a sea of chaos. Aside from a few meteorites and craters, there was nothing else to be seen.
"Hurry up and give me the seal. Let me go back to Maple City …."
"I brought you here for your own good." Gu Zichen glanced at Ye Zichen coldly. "The seal's power is too strong. If you use it in the Three Realms, it might trigger a heavenly phenomenon. Have you forgotten that the higher-ups are watching you?"
Ye Zichen froze, then arched his brows.
"Thank you for taking care of me. Can you give me the seal now? Or rather, I don't want it. Just hurry up and let me go, alright? "
"Are you in such a hurry to get back?"
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Ye Zichen frowned at Gu Zichen. "I don't even know what's going on over there …."
Ye Zichen smiled calmly.
Gu Zichen, who was facing Ye Zichen, suddenly laughed.
"But even if you go right now, it won't help matters."
With that, Gu Zichen pointed at the sky. A ripple spread in the air, and not long after, a waterfall-like curtain appeared in front of them.
Shockingly, the image showed the Great Sage in a berserk state, waving his staff to end the zombie.
"This is …. This is the Great Sage?"
Ye Zichen frowned as he stared at the screen. This was far too different from the Great Sage he knew. If it weren't for the Ruyi Jingu Bang, he really wouldn't have recognized him.
"The Spiritual Stone Monkey."
Gu Zichen pursed his lips and smiled. "The Spiritual Stone Monkey was born from spirit stones of heaven and earth. It absorbed the fortune of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and moon. Heaven and earth naturally feared such a heaven-defying creature. As soon as it was born, it placed a seal inside its body. Now, it's obvious that the first seal has been broken. "
"What seal?"
"You don't need to know that," replied Gu Zichen without hesitation. Then he arched his brows. "Right now, I want you to pay attention to what's going on."
The image beneath the curtain instantly transformed into a holographic projection, which enveloped the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Demon Race and Zombie Race.
Although the Three Realms had quite a number of troops, they appeared rather weak in the face of these two colossi.
"Did you see that?"
"I saw it."
The more he learned, the more solemn Ye Zichen's heart became. He knit his brows, then took in everything that was happening …..
"All the more reason for you to let me go back. Don't waste my time here. Hurry up and send me away."
"You want to go back?"
Gu Zichen couldn't understand why Ye Zichen still wanted to go back, even after everything had gone this far.
"Can't you see the situation clearly? What can you do even if you go back now? You can't change the situation here at all. You might even make it worse. "
"Of course I know," said Ye Zichen.
"Then why are you still asking to go back?" Gu Zichen furrowed his brows. "You know you're going to die, but you still want to go back? Is there something wrong with your head?"
"Then do I have to stay here? Can I solve the problem by staying here? "Ye Zichen questioned.
Pa.
Gu Zichen slapped his head in exasperation, then arched his brows.
"Why did we come here? To give you the seal of the Lord of the Three Realms! This seal is a spiritual treasure born of heaven and earth. If you refine it and go back, you might even have a chance to reverse the situation. Do you understand? "
"....."
Speechless!
"The Spiritual Stone Monkey can hold out for a while longer. I suggest you take advantage of this opportunity ….."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Zichen suddenly spoke up.
"Have you experienced it before?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Gu Zichen nodded.
"You walked this path back then, didn't you?"
Gu Zichen nodded again.
"And the result?"
"The result." Gu Zichen's lips quivered, but he didn't say anything. When he saw his expression, Ye Zichen understood. "It was tragic, wasn't it?"
"That's already the best possible outcome."
"I refuse."
Ye Zichen ignored Gu Zichen's explanation. This was the path Gu Zichen had walked. It was destined to fail.
If he didn't want to end up like Gu Zichen ….
He refused.
"Let me go back now. I don't need the Lord of the Three Realms' seal anymore."
"You ….."
"Don't waste any more time."
There was no room for negotiation. Gu Zichen glanced at him, then sighed helplessly.
"Alright, then I'll take you back."
Ye Zichen hadn't expected Gu Zichen to refuse. Although he was surprised, this was good news for him.
"Then let's go back. Which way do you want to go?"
Without hesitation, Gu Zichen pointed in a certain direction. Ye Zichen nodded, then walked in that direction.
Bang.
Before he'd taken more than a few steps, Ye Zichen felt a knifehand strike his neck. His vision blurred, he turned around and saw that Gu Zichen's hand had a handprint on it.
"You ….."
"I'm sorry, but you have to walk this path."
The handprint slammed into Ye Zichen's forehead. The instant it sank in, Ye Zichen lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
"If you refuse this path, then it's all over."
Gu Zichen laid Ye Zichen flat on the ground, then looked at the scene before him.
"It's up to you now."
The rain continued to pour.
The Great Sage stood proudly in the pouring rain with the Jingu Bang in hand. His golden eyes burned with a tangible flame as he stared at Hanba in front of him.
"Answer me. Is it you?"
Fear.
Under the gaze of those golden eyes, it was as if all of Hanba's defenses had crumbled. Terror filled her heart.
She wanted to run, but the Great Sage had already locked onto her. Even if she wanted to run, she couldn't.
But this feeling …..
"Die."
Houqing, one of the Zombie Progenitors, had appeared behind the Great Sage at some point. His right hand transformed into a sharp claw and swiped at the Great Sage's back.
Bang.
He suddenly spun around and smashed his golden staff viciously into Houqing's arm.
Crack.
Despite his powerful physique, the Great Sage's staff broke Houqing's arm. The Great Sage's staff instantly lengthened, and he slammed Houqing into a distant cliff.
"This has nothing to do with you. Scram! I'll deal with you later! "
With that, he turned to look at Hanba. Just like before, he stared at her calmly …..
Extreme fear gave birth to either destruction or madness.
Hanba obviously wasn't the type to choose self-destruction. She chose madness.
"Die, monkey!"
"Hah ….."
The Great Sage laughed coldly, then swung his staff without hesitation …..
