"The Expeditionary King was unwilling to compete with him for the throne, lest it cause a fight in heaven and spoil the good situation; but I thought that the Expeditionary King later discovered some clues and had doubts about the identity of the Jade Emperor, so he wanted to enter the way of heaven through the Land of No Return.

Leave traces to check to confirm your guess."

"The Expeditionary King knew that his suspicions were of great importance, so he had to get tangible evidence. For this reason, he did not hesitate to take risks and enter the land of no return - but just as he was getting closer to the truth, the Jade Emperor suddenly chased after him.

Kill him with one sword."

"So what did He find?"

"He probably suspected that the Jade Emperor might be a certain ancient god who had fallen, or even a few ancient gods, so he wanted to come to Tiandao Leave a Trace to see if those ancient gods left their last traces here.

If there are no traces, it means that those ancient gods are indeed not dead, but the golden cicada has shed its shell."

"The King of the Expedition is indeed the best in the sea of ​​stars. He should be the first to discover that there is something wrong with the Jade Emperor. He is much better than a fool like you!"

In response to his curses, Tianhuo sobbed and had no reaction.

Song Zheng suddenly felt some sympathy for this guy. He had accomplished self-transcendence, overcome his fear, and had painstakingly arranged for countless years to repay his kindness and resurrect his master. For this, he had to bear a huge cause and effect. It can be predicted that he would finish this matter

After that, you will definitely be severely punished by this level of the universe and suffer the consequences for life after life.

But just before he succeeded, he discovered that everything was just a huge scam, and it seemed so ridiculous that he had sacrificed everything for it.

In his current state, is he still the same demon who regards all living beings as nothing more than grass and kills countless living beings in all realms in a flash? He is clearly still the cowardly mastiff at the foot of Shouqiu Mountain.

"If my guess is correct, the Jade Emperor has already achieved detachment. And everything he has done is naturally to entrust his own cause and effect. He has come from ancient times and must have made many attempts to achieve detachment. In these attempts

During this period, he did many good or bad things, which caused him to be entangled in karma.

So He kept peeling off his golden cicada shell, trying to get rid of these entanglements of cause and effect, and it was not until the age of heaven that He finally succeeded. Everyone thought He had fallen."

Tianhuo has calmed down, as motionless as a wooden sculpture. He does not need to listen to Song Zheng's analysis. In terms of wisdom, he is not inferior to the other party. When he saw the body of the expedition king, he had already made a guess.

It's just that even when Tiandao left traces, the last trace of the master could not be found. He actually knew the cause and effect, but he just refused to face the reality and didn't want to believe it.

Song Zheng didn't bother to say anything to the devil. He came to Tianhuo for another purpose: "Where is Shi Yi?"

Tianhuo still remained motionless, Song Zheng stepped forward to grab the others, gritted his teeth and asked: "Where is our corps commander Shi Yi, tell me!"

Tianhuo showed no resistance and was held in his hand like a tattered bag. Then the devil suddenly laughed, incomprehensibly and maniacally.

"Hahaha……"

Song Zheng was furious and strangled his neck, suppressing his laughter in his throat.

Tianhuo looked at him, his eyes slowly changed, and his mind seemed to begin to recover. Song Zheng let go of his hand, and Tianhuo said: "Why should I tell you? With me like this, what can you use to force me to do something I don't want to do?"

Song Zheng took a deep breath and asked: "You have committed so many murders, but in the end it was all in vain. Don't you have any regrets? Don't you want to do some good deeds at the end?"

Tianhuo shook his head without hesitation: "Of course not!"

"Song Zheng, you are too self-righteous. I now know that I am just the biggest joke in this sea of ​​stars. My master deceived me and used me. All the feelings I value are false - why should I let you

, use the information I provided to fulfill your sincere emotions?"

"Hahaha, I won't tell you, just go ahead and dream! As long as I don't tell you, you will never find him!"

Song Zheng's anger rushed straight to the top door, and his hands couldn't help but increase their strength, and they were about to crush Tianhuo's body. But he kept reminding himself that he couldn't be impulsive. Whether Shi Tou'er could be saved, all hope was on this devil.

.

But as he said, what can he do to threaten him now? He has truly entered a state where he doesn't care about anything.

He took a deep breath and gradually loosened his hands.

"I made a deal with you, do you want revenge?"

Tianhuo hummed and shook his head: "Revenge? Revenge for what?"

"The Jade Emperor has deceived you. He has washed away you and everyone in heaven in the midst of applause. To Him, you are like a group of stupid monkeys who think they have succeeded, but don't know that He is secretly laughing at you.

Do you want to take revenge on Him?"

Tianhuo laughed again: "Song Zheng, you still think you are right. Do you want to say that He has transcended, and as long as you can transcend, you will help me avenge Him?

And if you want to transcend, you must have no fetters in your heart. Shi Yi is now your last fetter in this level of the universe. As long as you save Shi Yi, you have great hope of successfully transcending?"

Song Zheng did not deny that he was indeed planning to persuade Tianhuo in this way.

Tianhuo pointed to the surroundings: "Where is this place? The traces of heaven's way! Have you ever thought that if you fail to fulfill the promise you made here, what will be the consequences? You really put all your efforts into it for Shi Yi."

Song Zheng still didn't speak. He had thought about everything Tianhuo said. If he had other choices, he would not do this.

"What a pity, you are still wrong." Tianhuo laughed strangely: "I have no hatred towards Him, I only blame myself for my incompetence!"

Song Zheng's heart sank, but Tianhuo suddenly smiled even more strangely: "But thanks to you saying these words here, I will promise you, I will tell you the whereabouts of Shi Yi, so our

The deal will be completed, and you must complete your revenge on Him! Otherwise, even if you have completed transcendence, there will be extremely serious consequences!"

Song Zheng was surprised, and Tianhuo laughed and his whole body began to burn: "Don't you understand, because I just want to trick you! You are the only person in the world who has escaped from me. If you talk about hatred, I am even more

Hate you!"

More than half of his body burned quickly, leaving only the upper part of his chest. He floated up in the flames: "You want to save Shi Yi? Go ahead, he is in Jiutian Ruins."

The last body of Tianhuo was burned up, and an ancient oil lamp flew towards Song Zheng. Tianhuo left a final sentence: "That is the place where the first generation of ancient gods were destroyed in the final battle. Shi Yi went to find this place for me."

A 'Yuan Chu Lamp' fell inside. This lantern will only be because you found Jiutianxu, rescued him, completed your transcendence, and went to the Jade Emperor to avenge me, hahaha..."

Crazy laughter echoed all around, and the ancient oil lamp slowly fell into Song Zheng's hands. He held the lamp and held the sword, and the surroundings slowly became quiet. The gray-green light of the lake rippled gently, as if it wanted to wash away

Get rid of some unknown emotions in his heart.

After a long time, he raised his ancestral sword and said, "Let's go."

…

Song Zheng appeared in the sea of ​​stars again and did not leave for Jiutian Ruins immediately.

The Ancestral Sword sighed: "That's it?"

Song Zheng smiled calmly: "He should already know, is he waiting for me?"

The ancestor's sword said: "I don't know - if He wants to tell me something, I will naturally know it, but I have no way to sense Him."

After a pause, it asked again: "Have you never trusted me?"

Song Zheng shook his head: "I can't say I don't trust him at all. It's just that the senior's appearance was too coincidental. I was suffering from the rapid improvement of my realm at that time, and the treasure in my hand was not powerful enough to fight against the gods, so the senior appeared, and it was just right for me.

This made me wonder if there was someone behind it.

Moreover, the origin of what my senior told me when we first met, I always feel like it was a story made up for me, about the bloody rise of the human race and their fight against the gods, which seems to be intended to win my sympathy."

The Ancestral Sword sighed: "My cooperation with you seemed to be very smooth, but there were several details in the middle that you never let me participate in. I never doubted it at the time. Now it seems that those few times happened to involve your fundamentals, and you were mentioning them."

Old man."

Song Zheng did not deny it, but said: "When I enter the land of no return, all magic weapons cannot follow me, but senior can come in together, I can be sure that senior is not a treasure, senior is a distraction!"

Ancestor Jian was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully: "As expected, I was negligent."

Before Song Zheng came to find Tianhuo, he had made it clear to the Ancestral Sword. The strength of such a distraction was not inferior to the three main gods on the sacred mountain, and Song Zheng was suspicious of the Jade Emperor's fake death. It was clear who it came from.

After Song Zheng broke the news, he asked the Ancestral Sword to take him to find Tianhuo. The Ancestral Sword did not refuse and took him into the Traces of Heaven and told Song Zheng all the secrets of "The Traces of Heaven" on the way.

Ancestor Jian said helplessly: "You are very good, and we have cooperated very happily. Although I was ordered to monitor you, I have never done anything to harm you. It is strange that he has never issued such an order."

Song Zheng said: "Because there is no need. He asked you to spy on me because he was worried that I would become a variable that affects this sea of ​​stars. However, I have never really hindered Him - at least with my current strength, it is unlikely

What impact does it really have on Him who is already transcendent?”

The ancestor's sword said: "I am a distraction that he cut off in his fourth life. He should still have distractions like this. It's just that my current state is weird and indescribable."

Song Zheng could roughly understand that the Jade Emperor was constantly shedding its golden cicada shell, and had almost severed contact with these previous distractions. After he transcended, he was no longer in this sea of ​​​​stars, but he could still interact with these distractions and use special "supernatural powers"

"Unilateral contact.
