Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

Chapter 193: Return from the Dream (30)

Zhu Yan curled his lips: "I heard that when people get old they like to reminisce about the past, and now I see that it is indeed true."

Ignoring Zhu Yan's provocation, Cheng Huang continued, "After the White Emperor Tower was destroyed, it was never rebuilt until two top-tier demon beasts emerged from the Great Wilderness, Zhu Yan and Li Lun. They swore an oath of blood at the Kunlun Gate and used their demonic power to rebuild the White Emperor Tower. As a result, the Jianmu sacred tree began to grow again, suppressing the rampaging demon beasts and swearing to protect the Great Wilderness together."

Zhuo Yichen looked at Zhu Yan in surprise. He didn't expect that Zhu Yan and Li Lun were actually friends, and Li Lun wanted to protect the Great Wilderness at the beginning.

Wen Xiao also looked at Zhu Yan, then at Cheng Huang. "Zhao Yuanzhou has always been protecting the Great Wilderness. Li Lun also wanted to protect the Great Wilderness... and so do you. Since you all want to save the Great Wilderness, you should tell me the whereabouts of Bai Ze Ling! Save the Great Wilderness and all the monsters that are now in danger."

Cheng Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said contemptuously: "What's the use of having power? If you can't control yourself, you will be in trouble."

Zhu Yan's pupils suddenly shrank! Cheng Huang's words were like a poke in his heart!

Zhu Yan's mind was in turmoil. Many things flashed through his mind at that moment, including Li Lun being sealed in the place of his birth, Zhao Wan'er's death, the corpses of the people from the Demon Hunting Bureau, and the hand that was strangling Wen Xiao's neck.

At this moment, a slightly cool, soft and boneless little hand gently grasped his little finger. Instantly coming back to his senses from his panic, Zhu Yan met Nanzhi's calm eyes.

She was comforting him, trying to give him strength.

Zhu Yan's slightly trembling pupils returned to normal, and he immediately looked at Cheng Huang: "You want to induce my rage to lose control and make us kill each other? What a pity! I now have a magic weapon that can suppress my rage."

"Oh?" His cold gaze fixed on the clasped hands of Nanzhi and Zhuyan, Cheng Huang, his plan seen through, curious: "What is it?"

Zhu Yan did not answer Cheng Huang, but his silence had already told him the answer.

The jealousy in his heart was about to overwhelm him, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing with anger: "Zhu Yan, you are not only rude, but also mean."

Zhu Yan was not angry at all: "Compared to your viciousness, I am still far behind."

Bai Jiu was shocked: "Oh my god, he is indeed a great demon, he really knows how to curse."

Wen Xiao praised him: "Good scolding."

Although Zhuo Yichen didn't say anything, the smile on his face was completely different from his usual coldness.

Seeing that the situation was about to start a fight, Nanzhi asked, "You let us watch this just to sow discord?"

"Of course not." He suppressed the anger in his heart and formed seals with his fingers.

Soon, a person appeared in the memory illusion.

The woman in the white dress is cold and noble, and her compassionate eyes can make people feel her compassion and love for all living beings in the world with just a glance.

"This is the first generation goddess." Wen Xiao confirmed: "I have seen it in the portraits of the previous Bai Ze goddesses."

Then another person appeared.

It was Cheng Huang, who was wearing complicated clothes, had a calm look in his eyes, and had fox ears in his hair.

It is easy to distinguish the Cheng Huang of one hundred thousand years ago from the Cheng Huang of today. The eyes of the current Cheng Huang are full of fatigue from having experienced all kinds of things, while the eyes of the Cheng Huang of one hundred thousand years ago are clear, and sometimes you can see the gentleness when facing monsters in those calm eyes.

It can indeed be seen from the picture that the wilderness 100,000 years ago was very peaceful. There was no fighting, and the human world and the wilderness coexisted in peace.

The monster happily hid its demonic aura and went to the human world to experience the hustle and bustle of the human world.

Unfortunately, the good times are not long.

Fei - a monster that carries plague and is considered to be an ominous and calamity, also wants to go to the human world.

After being stopped by the goddess Bai Ze, he was unwilling to be trapped in the wilderness. He wanted to go to the human world, so he unleashed his demonic power, injured the goddess Bai Ze, and escaped to the human world.

The goddess Bai Ze was injured by the plague and will not live long.

In order to stabilize the Great Wilderness, Cheng Huang thought of many ways to save the Goddess Bai Ze, but it was still ineffective. He could only watch the Goddess Bai Ze become weaker day by day, and the monsters in the Great Wilderness were even more frightened.

So he thought of a way.

"Hunting monsters will extend the life of the White Ze Goddess." Cheng Huang said calmly, "This is the most effective way to extend the life of the White Ze Goddess. As long as the White Ze Goddess survives, there will be no chaos in the Great Wilderness."

"Unfortunately, I wasn't careful enough and was discovered by the White Ze Goddess."

"She blamed me and wanted to take back the other half of Bai Ze's power from me and imprison me in the place where I was born."

Speaking of this, Cheng Huang laughed at himself, feeling sad and not understood.

"What happened next?" Zhu Yan asked.

Cheng Huang once again recalled what happened a hundred thousand years ago: "I took advantage of her weakness and escaped."

"Later, when I was about to hunt the monster again, the goddess Bai Ze committed suicide."

Feeling deeply moved by the First Goddess's willingness to die for the common people, Nanzhi said, "The First Goddess didn't want you to make any more mistakes."

"I don't think this is wrong." Cheng Huang looked at Nan Zhi, tears flashing in his eyes. "For the sake of the entire Great Wilderness, there must be sacrifices. Sacrificing those insignificant things to save the entire Great Wilderness, isn't this a worthwhile thing to do?"

"But everyone's life is equal!" Nanzhi didn't understand Chenghuang's extreme and selfish thoughts, and felt a burning anger in her heart!

"We only have one life. No matter what the reason, we should not harm innocent people to achieve our own selfish desires."

"If you truly wish to prolong the goddess' life, you could sacrifice yourself instead of giving to others!"

"That's right." Wen Xiao glared at Cheng Huang. "The first generation goddess was kind and compassionate to all living things. She chose to commit suicide for the sake of the people and to stop you from making further mistakes. But now you keep making mistakes. You don't understand her painstaking efforts at all!"

"I don't need to understand!" Cheng Huang flicked his sleeves and said paranoidly, "Seeing the Great Wasteland on the verge of collapse, I know that my original choice was not wrong! If the first generation goddess was still here... The Great Wasteland would never have come to this point!"

A gust of evil wind blew Cheng Huang's hair, and as his clothes fluttered, Cheng Huang became more paranoid.

Zhuo Yichen and Zhu Yan immediately stepped forward and stood in front of everyone, ready for battle.

Cheng Huang raised a cold arc at the corner of his lips and looked at Zhu Yan and Zhuo Yichen: "You can't stop me."

A trace of delusion in his mind made Cheng Huang look at Nanzhi again. Looking at her beautiful face and her clear yet stubborn eyes, he opened his lips slightly, but in fact he already knew the answer in his heart.

"Are you going to stand on their side?" he asked, with a pleading look in his eyes.

He has lived for more than 100,000 years. One hundred thousand years ago, he tried his best to protect the Great Wilderness. After the death of the first goddess, he watched the goddesses after her guard the Great Wilderness. Until eight years ago, when Zhao Wan'er died suddenly and Wen Xiao inherited half of the Bai Ze Order and was unable to exert its power, the Great Wilderness was on the verge of collapse, he thought of resurrecting the first goddess and returning everything to its original state.

But what made him most sad now was that Nanzhi stood against him.

She didn't like what he did.

Nanzhi said, "Cheng Huang, you once helped me, fulfilled my wish, overturned my father's case, and rescued me from prison. I owe you a debt of gratitude that I will never be able to repay in this lifetime."

Hearing her words, Cheng Huang's eyes suddenly darkened, and his heart sank into the abyss.

Nanzhi clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves and continued, "But you have done too many wrong things. After you are brought to justice, I will return my life to you."

She deserved to die, and now returning her life to Cheng Huang can be considered as repaying his kindness and fulfilling the righteousness in her heart.
