537 This Chapter Is So Long... (2/2)

”Uhm, although it does sound a bit nonsense, but ask yourself, have I ever lied to you?”

”... Yes.”

”... Then at least it's not this time.” Ouyang Shang smiled and hugged Wang Wu. ”Believe me this once, I will definitely come back.”

Then he loosened his hands and staggered to keep standing up. After passing all of his power to Wang Wu, Ouyang Shang was like an empty shell. However, soon a new energy was ignited in that empty shell, which was his innate vitality.

”There's still one thing that I have to do. Time is limited so I will not be able to say goodbye to Feng Yin and the others. Oh, I almost forgot, it would not be long before the reinforcement from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals arrives. At that time, regarding the sect… Forget it, the sect exists as long as its people exist. As long as you guys are alive, then everything is fine. Fight for it if you can, just leave it if you can't, you guys should make good judgement and don't push yourselves too much when things are above your ability.”

With that, Ouyang Shang broke into the ground and disappeared without a trace. Wang Wu reached out to try to capture his back, but to no avail.

Continue to live happily?

You bastard, it sounds so easy if just by saying it… Wang Wu tried to pull her facial muscles, to show a smiling expression, but somehow, every time when her muscle shivered, it made her sore in deep heart.

—

After nobody knows how long, Feng Yin and the others finally found out that something was wrong. Thus, they rushed into the room, only to find a smiling Wang Wu whose tears had already dried for a long time.

”Where is Big Brother?” Feng Yin bewilderedly asked.

”Big Brother?” Wang Wu still had her smiling face. ”He's probably tired of living, so that he went to throw his life.”

”What the hell are you talking about?” Feng Yin was furious, but then he realized the relationship between the two of them, especially the feelings of Wang Wu for Ouyang Shang for many years… she couldn't possibly say such cruel words.

”Junior Sister, what's the matter with you?”

Wang Wu smiled and shrugged. ”Nothing, I'm really fine, just… being happy according to someone's request.”

”Being happy?”

”Yes, the most important thing in one's life is to be happy, and then cook noodles for others to eat1… Oh right, Big Brother said that it will not be long before the reinforcement from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals arrive, so you guys might as well consider how to argue with those people. Since most people of our sect have died, don't let them directly withdraw us off the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.”

”What? The reinforcement from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortal?”

”That's what Big Brother said, forget about it if you don't believe,” Wang Wu said, and then shrugged. ”I want to take a nap, Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, please suit yourself.”

At the same time, at the foot of a distant volcano, Ouyang Shang met the Demon King who had been waiting there for a long time.

A few months ago, on this mountain, a rift tore the sky and opened the passage between two worlds, and the Elders of Spirit Sword Sect sacrificed everything to fill the gap. Now, the Big Brother of Spirit Sword Sect returned to this place, ready to make the final battle.

”Haha, trouble you to wait for a long time.”

”Humph, with the great demon oath, I'm not afraid you're going to run! Looks like you already finish your last affairs, then let's begin.”

With that, the Demon King stretched out his incomplete left hand, crossing the space directly to press Ouyang Shang's forehead.

Ouyang Shang's body shook, but his tone of voice was as steady as ever. ”If you win, this body will belong to you, you will have a top class cultivator body, so the current injury will not be worth mentioning, and you will have the capital to continue to plot in Nine Regions. But if you lose, your memory will belong to me, and I'll have an immortal's knowledge, insight, and experience. Hence, I will then have boundless prospect.”

”And you won't have any chance of winning,” the Demon King coldly said and began to flood in a huge force from his seriously injured body.

The layer upon layer of defense made by Ouyang Shang's primordial spirit disintegrated, unable to delay the intrusion even for a bit. Soon, the Demon King's consciousness invaded in along the open passage.

The next moment, the Demon King was furious.

”You lied to me!”

”Hahaha, with the binding of the great demon heart oath, how could I lie? If you win, the body and jade mansion will be yours. I did not lie, I just cleaned up the inventory before you came. When it comes to selling the house, when does it say it has to be furnished with furniture and decoration?”

”You!”

”Speaking of which, what do you think of my little disguise? Is it too eye-catching?”

”Go to hell! If you want to die, just go die yourself. I have promised a girl to go back to find her, so sorry for not playing with you anymore. You can play yourself.”

”You dare! You have taken the great demon heart oath, once the fight begins, it will not end!”

”Haha, I did not say that we stop the fight, this is just a strategic withdrawal. Wait for 100 more years until I regroup, it wouldn't be too late to take your dog's life away at that time. But I don't know if you can preserve this badly damaged soul of yours that long, hahaha!”

With that, inside the swelling body, a primordial spirit seemed to want to go out of the body.

”There's no escape!”

A black rope firmly bound the escaping primordial spirit.

”Hey, don't be so persistent okay? In any case, there are many of you fallen immortals, even if you die, there's still another one.”

The primordial spirit constantly tried to break free. Although the Demon King refused to let it go, the restraining power gradually loosened.

”Stop trying, you have wasted your strength on the previous break through, but I have put all my bets on escaping… You can't stop me.”

”... Maybe so.” The Demon King said in a sinking voice, ”But don't think that you've won.”

The voice fell, and the innate vitality overloaded the flesh and exploded.

This self-destruction unleashed an unprecedented terrifying force, that in a moment, the mountain collapsed, lava poured out, and the hundreds of miles of the surrounding area became deadly silent. Discoloration appeared in the sky, and a faint crack indistinctly re-emerged.

Then, the world shattered and everything became pitch black.

—

”This movie is over?”

In the darkness, Wang Lu, somewhat in a daze, shook his head. After reading the memory for so long, he felt that his whole person became somewhat sluggish.

”Yes, it's over, any comments?”

”... Isn't it a stupid bullsh*t ending?” Wang Lu shrugged. ”A big bang and then everything ends? There are still many things that haven't been explained clearly. Moreover, Big Brother, why do you want to show it to me?”

”Because this is the essential review before the award ceremony.”

”Award ceremony?” Wang Lu asked questioningly.

However, at this time, a little red dot lit up in the darkness, and then the Demon King whose half right of the body had been permanently damaged appeared in his field of vision.

The Demon King looked tired and deteriorating, no longer full of spirit like that of his former self. But the face that he showed this time was more like a relief.

”You won.”

With that, he handed over a round crystal ball to Wang Lu's hand and disappeared without waiting for Wang Lu to recover from the shock.

The banter voice of Big Brother came from behind him, ”Tsk-tsk, this old guy is really not an easy guy. Being made to hold resentment for more than a hundred years while keeping his incomplete soul not scattered is really exceptional.”

Wang Lu was silent for a while, feeling that everything that he experienced seemed way too weird. He asked toward the void, ”Is the previous time travel, just a dream?”

”Dream? That is not a dream. That is a war. A war in which you won.”

”I won?” Wang Lu felt more and more violated. ”I don't remember what gambling activities I have participated in. The so-called victory should refer to the one that you set with the Demon King one hundred and fifty years ago, right? And the price of victory is his memory and knowledge as a fallen immortal, but…”

But, it doesn't make sense. The person who made a bet with him is you, but the person who actually did the challenge is me, can this also count?

Ouyang Shang let out a laugh and said, ”One hundred and fifty years ago, I took advantage of the lie that I made to occupy the initiative. But the Demon King's natural disposition is so resolute, that he tried to self-exploded to perish together. A strong energy, by chance, struck a weakened corner in the Sky Mend Array and shook my primordial spirit into the shattered void… Can you guess what happened after that?”

”... You were not traveling through the three thousand worlds, weren't you?”

”Hehe, I was lost in the turbulence of space and time for a long time, and when I woke up, I found myself in the proletariat state under the rule of the bourgeoisie!”

”…”

”Oh, it was a dream-like life I got there, and all the wonderful things there are enough to make people too happy to think of home and duty, and I did hesitate and was indecisive about going back… But, in Nine Regions, I still owe her a promise. Moreover, letting my Junior Brothers and Sisters face danger in Nine Regions while I'm enjoying myself in the outworld is indeed making my heart heavy.”

”Therefore…?” Having heard until this, Wang Lu's mind had already violently jumped incessantly. The truth that he was about to face next seemed to be beyond the limit for normal people… However, deep within his heart, Wang Lu continued to hear his inner voice.

Have you never wondered where you come from?

Have you ever wondered from where the fuzzy memories of professional adventure come from?

Have you never wondered if the so-called Void Spirit Root is really a gift from heaven?

In this confusion, Wang Lu heard Ouyang Shang continued.

”Therefore, I decided to return… Of course, it was not easy. But, I have learned a lot of things in another world. Even more, by chance coincidence, I obtained a peerless spirit root that is enough to be above of that fallen immortal. After that, taking advantage of a great shock among the three thousand world, I gave up most of my memory and primordial spirit power to ride the crack in time and space to come back.”

With that, Ouyang Shang came out from the void. However, the one that appeared in front of Wang Lu had a face that was exactly the same as him.

”You…” Wang Lu frowned as he stared at the opposite party. There were many words that he wanted to say.

But in the end, he couldn't say even one.

After a long time, he just helplessly laughed.

”A beautiful bromance, at this point has turned into a masturbation. I am so f*cked.”

…Cook noodles in Chinese is 下面, which could have 2 different meaning literally. The first is cooking noodles, the second one is downside part or bottom part. So Wang Wu's words could also mean giving blowjob. This alludes Wang Wu, at this moment, has started to transform to the No.1 Jindan Wang Wu in personality under an extremely heartbreaking situation
