All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"Young Master Baoyu... no, I mean Young Master!"

Zhou Baoyu's change of identity is something that many people find hard to accept at first.

Even now, many of the servants in the mansion will inadvertently address him as "Young Master".

But Er Gouzi and Caogen were clearly different. They had obviously been deliberately arranged to be there, so after addressing him as "Young Master," they immediately realized something was wrong and quickly changed their address.

"Don't be so polite, call me whatever you like, there's no need to be so formal!"

"Now that you two have arrived today, I presume your family is settled. Would you two be willing to follow me from now on?"

Zhou Baoyu nodded slightly and looked at the two of them.

The two men were taken aback, somewhat astonished. Clearly, they hadn't expected Zhou Baoyu to see through their purpose at a glance.

That's right, someone sent them to keep the young master company, and even made arrangements for their funerals.

That person said not to tell the young master, so why does the young master know?

"Er Gouzi is willing to follow Young Master for life!"

Although Er Gouzi was young, he reacted quickly and hurriedly stepped forward to say something.

"We common folk are willing to follow Young Master!"

Grassroots realized what was happening and quickly paid his respects.

"Alright, you old-timer... Er Gouzi..."

"Although it's just a form of address and we shouldn't be too formal, it's still easy to make people laugh!"

"Ergouzi, from now on you should change your name to Youde. Since your family name is Zeng, you will be Zeng Youde!"

"The grass roots live deep in the ground, yet they grow towards the sun, possessing an indomitable strength that can withstand the vastness of the universe!"

"Grassroots, from now on you shall be known as Han Hai!"

Zhou Baoyu nodded slightly and changed their names as he spoke.

"Zeng Youde? My name is Zeng Youde?"

"Han Hai, what an impressive name!"

"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, young master!"

The two carefully considered the names Zhou Baoyu had given them, and their eyes lit up. They quickly thanked him.

"Alright, no need for formalities. From now on, you two will serve as my attendants. I will summon you if there is any important matter!"

Zhou Baoyu waved his hand and said, "Go and change your clothes!"

After saying that, Zhou Baoyu got up and went back to his room, leaving Zeng Youde and Han Hai looking at each other in bewilderment.

At that moment, a figure emerged from not far away.

It was Xu Zifu.

"Meet Madam!"

Upon seeing Xu Zifu, Zeng Youde and Han Hai dared not be negligent and immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

The person who sent them to accompany Zhou Baoyu was none other than Xu Zifu.

"Hmm...it seems the young master is quite satisfied with you. From now on, you must take good care of him, do you understand?"

Xu Zifu was very satisfied with the two people in front of him.

She had long heard about her son's care for the two men, and also about how the two men had stood up for her son on many occasions.

She felt that her son's attitude towards the two women should be different, and now that he has given them names, he was clearly right.

In her view, with these two by her side, her son should no longer have such extreme thoughts.

"Go and wash up. I'll have someone prepare new clothes for you!"

After a pause, Xu Zifu gave instructions to the two men.

"Okay ma'am!"

The two quickly agreed and followed Xu Zifu away.

Zhou Baoyu, who had returned to his room, heard the entire conversation between the three.

But he didn't think much of it, and didn't even make any statement.

At this moment, he was holding the child in his arms, sitting cross-legged, his consciousness gradually fading.

The child in his arms was exceptionally well-behaved; from the moment he found him until now, he had never uttered a single cry.

Because she nestled in his arms, she has not eaten or drunk anything since, as if she were a celestial being.

As his consciousness faded, the baby gradually closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.

Before Zhou Baoyu's eyes, he seemed to see the world gradually shattering, as if everything were an illusion.

He seemed to be leaving a dream and returning to the real world.

As this state continued, his vision gradually darkened, while another light shone continuously in the darkness.

From the moment he opened his wisdom eye, Zhou Baoyu was able to see through the past and future, and the essence of all things in the world.

But some things seem blurry when he actually tries to see them!

At that moment, the burst of light in front of him seemed to be a more vast world, a place that truly belonged to him.

There, it seemed, something was waiting for him.

But when he looked around, he found that he couldn't see anything.

Even as the light continued to grow larger, and a vast world continued to take shape, he even landed in one of the places.

But he could only see the things around him and couldn't see the invisible force pulling him in.

What is waiting for me?

At this moment, Zhou Baoyu was standing in a market, surrounded by people and vehicles, but it seemed that no one could see him.

Some people even passed through his body, making him seem particularly ethereal.

No, to be precise, this world is too illusory.

Although he came to this world, because something was missing, this world was more like a projection than a real existence.

"Wow... Wow wow wow..."

Suddenly, a cry rang out. Zhou Baoyu looked down and saw a child gradually forming in his arms.

The infant in his arms also came into this world with her, and finally let out its first cry in this world.

Zhou Baoyu was taken aback. He gently patted the baby's back and coaxed the baby, but countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Why is he here too?"

"I entered the Tao through reading Buddhist scriptures in the green mountains. I thought I had let go of everything, but at the moment of entering the Tao, I was drawn by something, as if something was calling to me!"

"Now that it has arrived, the child has come with it!"

"Is this summoning my own Dao, or is it a deliberate pull from the spirit of creation?"

"And what am I still lacking right now?"

After a long while, Zhou Baoyu murmured to himself.

The child in his arms stopped crying and looked around curiously.

Zhou Baoyu, holding the child, began to wander around.

Unbeknownst to him, he left the market, crossed mountains and rivers.

It is unknown how much time passed, but the baby in his arms gradually grew up, and he measured the world with his own two feet, traveling to the ends of the earth.

"Master, what are you looking for?"

On this day, the child, who was already as big as his waist, walked hand in hand with him to the top of a mountain and suddenly asked a strange question.

"I don't know, let nature take its course!"

"Wandering around and looking at different places, perhaps I'm looking for a path!"

Zhou Baoyu shook his head. Over the years of his travels, he seemed to have touched upon something, but when he actually tried to connect with it, it was like a dream or a bubble. He was ultimately unable to integrate into this world.

He was still missing a certain opportunity, but he couldn't say exactly what it was.

He couldn't say for sure what awaited him in this world.

With his current level of understanding, he no longer forces anything. He had considered giving up and ceasing his pursuit.

Yet, in some mysterious way, that thing was guiding him at all times.

Sometimes, forcibly giving up is itself a sign of not being able to let go.

With a mindset of letting go, he could only let nature take its course.

He has now traveled all over the world, and beyond this world, there are many more vast and boundless worlds.

Zhou Baoyu realized that it was time for him to leave this place and go to other worlds.
