Chapter 510: Let Go of Duty, Enjoy a Happy Life

"If I don't leave now, I will die here."

The Elephant Zombie said with deep worry.

At this moment, Paper Man Nan also found the Paper Maker Lineage.

These Paper Craftsmen transformed one after another into paper figures and attached themselves to Paper Man Nan's body.

The entire Corpse City was in a state of utter chaos.

A slight crack suddenly appeared on Mao Shiba's inner core.

As time passed, the crack became larger and larger, eventually covering the entire inner core.

Mao Shiba sighed faintly.

This breakthrough had failed.

There were many reasons.

The most important reason among them was that the bloodline purity was insufficient, which caused Mao Shiba to fall short of success.

Recalling his past, he was once a renowned Daoist priest, and he had joined the Celestial Master Dao to punish evil and promote good.

Only when he grew old did he discover that he was actually afraid of death.

So, he refined himself into a Golden Corpse.

Mao Shiba had many regrets; he had not disciplined his descendants well.

Ever since he transformed into a Golden Corpse, his ambition had also undergone Expansion, and he was bent on becoming the king of the Southwest.

How many wicked and harmful things he had done.

At this moment, how Mao Shiba wished to return to being that young Daoist priest who had just left the Daoist temple.

The trace of clarity he had just regained was once again tainted by the overwhelming baleful aura.

"Hmph, since my breakthrough failed, none of you should think about surviving either."

"I am the master of this world; collapse together with this world."

Mao Shiba directly initiated a Self-Destruct of his inner core; he issued a decision to have Corpse City collapse along with him.

The vast Corpse City began to shake violently, forming many Space Rifts.

These Space Rifts were being further constricted.

"Well, have you found the Peacock Zombie yet?"

Ye Bai asked anxiously.

"No, I have basically searched the entire Corpse City and did not find the existence of the Peacock Zombie; could it have hidden itself, or was it sealed?"

Just at this moment, Paper Man Nan appeared before the crowd.

"Corpse City has begun to collapse; we must leave here as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, it will be too late if we leave any later."

Paper Man Nan looked at Ye Canghai, who was in the middle of a breakthrough, feeling somewhat urgent; if Ye Canghai broke through to become an eighth-rank Pet Beast Master, he would certainly be able to escape from here.

Ye Bai's gaze rested on Paper Man Nan.

"Paper Man Nan, have you found the Paper Maker Lineage?"

"If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Ye Bai asked Paper Man Nan.

Paper Man Nan nodded: "Found them; the Paper Maker Lineage is now all on my body."

"It is truly a pity that the Peacock Zombie still hasn't been found."

"Now we don't even know how to leave this place."

Paper Man Nan revealed a worried expression.

"We might not know, but how could you not know?"

"You are an Exotic Beast proficient in Space Shuttle, and furthermore, the Peacock Zombie is right on your body; why bother pretending and saying so much?"

"Paper Man Nan, when did you decide on a whim that you wanted to bury us here?"

Ye Bai smiled coldly; he sensed a trace of malice from Paper Man Nan.

Just a moment ago, Zhang Yuelu also told him through the Sound Transmission Gu that there was an aura of a powerful Exotic Beast zombie on Paper Man Nan.

Zhang Yuelu had sealed quite a few zombies in her hands, so she could naturally sense it.

"That's right, when did I change my mind?"

"Perhaps it is because of my younger sister."

"She and I were paper figures created at the same time."

"Why is it that she could become the inheritance of Heaven Gate, enjoy the offerings of Heaven Gate, and evolve into an existence like a sacrificial spirit?"

"While I was dragged down by the Paper Maker Lineage, nominally their Guard, their servant, but in reality, their beast of burden."

"These people are truly incapable of doing anything right."

"I told them before not to step out of the Barrier, otherwise they would be caught by the Mao Family, but they just wouldn't listen."

"Honestly, I am truly tired; this group of pig-like teammates is truly impossible to carry."

Now Paper Man Nan was tired and had the mindset of 'let it all be destroyed'.

"I can leave this place through the Paper Figure Bridge, but you cannot."

"To tell you the truth, I want you to accompany me and die in Corpse City."

"What do you think?"

Paper Man Nan said with a smile.

Ye Bai felt that Paper Man Nan was suffering from a mental illness; having been ignored for a long time and living a life like a beast of burden had caused Paper Man Nan to fall into a state of complete madness.

"I will not hand the Peacock Zombie over to you; just accompany me and die here."

"To have the Twenty-Eight Mansions accompany me in death, I am truly honored."

A sickly smile appeared on Paper Man Nan's face.

At this moment, Zhang Aiyu walked over and placed her hand on Paper Man Nan.

"I don't think you are wrong."

"Your thoughts are all correct; a group of teammates who can't be carried is truly too exhausting."

"Sometimes, I even want to cast aside my husband and son to go live the life I want."

"Actually, I think you can completely lay down your burdens and enjoy life; no one is forcing you to sacrifice."

"You have guarded the Paper Maker Lineage for so long; you can rest now."

"Take off the Ancestor's hat and enjoy life."

"You are the Ancestor of the Paper Maker Lineage, but first you are yourself, and only then are you someone else's something."

"If you do not love yourself and instead negate the world, you will live a life without meaning."

Zhang Aiyu held Paper Man Nan's cold hand, vainly attempting to warm that cold heart of hers.

"Both my parents died, and they once made huge contributions to the Yan Country."

"My younger sister and I relied on each other to survive; I have always believed that I do not admit defeat, and I will not lose."

"No matter how bitter or tiring the days were, I just gritted my teeth and got through them."

"Just like that, I became the youngest of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, Heart Moon Fox."

"When I was full of confidence and wanted to climb up step by step to become a Pillar of the Nation, the Nantianmen Great War broke out, and my sister was trapped there at Nantianmen."

"That Beast Tide was massive in scale; I wanted to go find my sister many times, but because I was executing an important mission at the time, I couldn't get away."

"After I finished the mission, I received the news of my sister's death."

"How painful I was at that time; I truly wished that the one who died was me."

"Later, I discovered that whatever duty or responsibility it was, it was all a burden."

"Whether one lives well or not is not judged by others, but by oneself."

"If you don't cherish yourself well, how will others appreciate you?"

"From now on, you are no longer the Ancestor of the Paper Maker Lineage, and you are no longer Paper Man Nan."

"You are called Nan, which is a very pleasant name; you must not let your name down."

Zhang Aiyu paused and continued: "That's right, you became the Ancestor and lived for so long, but you haven't seen the outside world."

"You have always been living for duty, and you haven't been living like yourself at all."

"Come, lay down your burdens; do not be afraid, walk forward bravely, step by step, you are already free, Nan."

Zhang Aiyu's sincere words made Paper Man Nan's heart waver slightly.

"We have to go; the Space Rift is getting bigger and bigger, and my Void Ray has also sensed a connection to the outside world."

"Ye Bai, let's go."

Ye Bai looked at his father, who was in the middle of a breakthrough, and hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry about him; I have already branded a Kongjian Yinjie on him."

"You leave the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican behind to perceive the space rupture; this is the best way for it to comprehend space skills."

Ye Bai was persuaded by the Lady Bat.

"Come, let's go together."

Zhang Aiyu pulled Paper Man Nan's hand, but could not pull her.

She looked at Zhang Aiyu with some shame.

"Sorry, I am not qualified to board."

"I harbored some bad intentions."

After Paper Man Nan regained her composure, she felt that the version of herself from just a moment ago was not like her usual self at all.

"You must have developed a Heart Demon; the Heart Demon from just now must have been hiding. Later, I will have the Myriad-Changing Butterfly use Holy Light to shine on you for a few days and nights, and it should dispel the Heart Demon within your body."

Ye Bai said with a serious expression.

Paper Man Nan made a "really-or-fake" expression.

"Come, we are about to set off."

The Myriad-Changing Butterfly and the Sunflower Fairy left their Clones by Ye Canghai's side, while the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican stood guard beside Ye Canghai.

Many Exotic Beast zombies, having nowhere else to turn, knelt and begged Ye Canghai.

They kept kowtowing, wanting Ye Canghai to take them away from here.

Among them, the Elephant Zombie was the most prominent.

However, Ye Canghai did not want these zombies to bring disaster to the world, so he decisively refused.

The embarrassed and resentful Elephant Zombie directly revealed its true form, which was an incomparably massive Mammoth Holy Elephant.

Its snow-white tusks radiated a trace of chilling cold in the air.

"Divine Elephant Crushing Heaven Strike."

It charged fiercely toward the location where Ye Canghai was.

Just at the moment it was about to hit Ye Canghai, the Heaven-Swallowing Pelican used teleportation to take Ye Canghai away.

Ye Canghai was shifted to the outside world, the peak of Beimang Mountain.

As for the Mammoth Holy Elephant, it could only plunge headlong into the void, its body crushed by the void storm and turned into countless flesh and blood.

The Corpse City collapsed, and the peerless fierce array was destroyed in an instant.

Ye Bai watched as a large amount of Yin-Slaying Qi appeared in the Bei Mang Mountain Range, surging toward the location of the fierce array.

"My god, with so much Yin-Slaying Qi, what level of zombie will this spawn?"

The Lady Bat clicked her tongue and said.

"Birth?"

"Have you forgotten the Heavenly Sun Seed of the Solar Golden Chicken?"

"Instead of waiting for those zombies to be born, just drop a strategic weapon."

Ye Bai suddenly threw it downward.

A flash of light streaked past, and the sun's radiance surged into the sky.

A powerful shockwave poured into the Yin-Sha Qi; it was like splashing a ladle of cold water into a pot of hot oil.

"Ye Bai, in the future, tell your old man before you throw a Heavenly Sun Seed; I was almost sent to the afterlife by the sunlight."

Ye Canghai also dodged in time, which was how he avoided the attack.

"However, one Heavenly Sun Seed doesn't seem to be enough; it cannot drive away the remaining Yin-Sha Qi."

Since Ye Canghai said so, Ye Bai threw down another new Heavenly Sun Seed.

At this moment, the whole world went quiet.

Those Ancestors that Mao Shiba had used as array eyes hadn't even been born yet when they were hit by the scorching sunlight, their bodies instantly turning into black ash.

The Yin-Sha Qi of Beimang Mountain was swept away by the Heavenly Sun Seed.

Even the dark clouds lingering above the Bei Mang Mountain Range were shattered by the Heavenly Sun Seed.

For the first time, sunlight fell upon the Bei Mang Mountain Range, which had been surrounded by Yin-Sha Qi.

As the Yin-Sha Qi gradually dissipates, there will be no more births of zombies, skeleton soldiers, or other undead here.

Ye Bai's mission this time finally had a good result.

"However, I still haven't found any trace of the Sun Moon Divine Pearl."

The Sun Moon Divine Pearl has a miraculous effect on Zhang Aiyu; it can stabilize Zhang Aiyu's divine soul and help Zhang Aiyu break through the Tier 7 bottleneck.

"The Sun Moon Divine Pearl is not here; it is actually in a Wanghou Tomb."

"Dad, this time I will go to that Wanghou Tomb with you."

"The others should go back and report to the Azure Dragon Marshal and the Yellow Dragon Marshal."

Ye Bai also wanted to fight side-by-side with his old man.

"Ye Bai, these eight years have been hard on you."

"I have failed you, and I have failed the Yan Country."

"But at least the one thing that brings me comfort is that you have been able to grow up strong."

"The status and achievements you have attained are even more impressive than those of your father and mother."

Ye Bai shook his head: "It doesn't matter, Dad, you don't need to feel guilty."

"As long as you are still alive, it is a sunny day for me."

"By the way, the Breeding House has relocated; it moved to the Imperial Capital."

"If you have time, help me open the Fangyuan Breeding House again."

"We are going to become the most powerful Breeding House in this world."

"By the way, Dad, how many of your Pet Beasts are left? Do you need me to treat them?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

"No need, my Pet Beasts are all fine; I was lucky enough to find the Spring of Life."

"After eight years, my Pet Beasts have also recovered seven or eight tenths."

"However, your mother's lifespan has been greatly consumed because she used forbidden techniques twice."

"Even the Spring of Life cannot make up for the deficit in her lifespan."

"That is why I wanted to find the Sun Moon Divine Pearl, to let your mother break through to Tier 8 and make up for her lost lifespan."

This made Ye Bai think of his own Divine Turtle Longevity Fruit.

"Dad, you should have said so earlier; I have a Divine Turtle Longevity Fruit here."

"It was cultivated by me personally; Lan Fa has some, and I will notify him in a moment to have Mom take it as soon as possible."

"Since we have discovered the whereabouts of the Sun Moon Divine Pearl, let's not miss it."

"Besides, that Wanghou will bring disaster to all directions anyway; it would be better to destroy him directly while he hasn't been born yet."

"Lan Fa has replicated some castrated versions of the Heavenly Sun Seed."

Ye Bai handed some shining light orbs to Ye Canghai.

"By the way, Dad, do you know where one might find the Ten Thousand Dragon Slash?"

"My Bronze Ancient Sword needs enough Ten Thousand Dragon Slashes to upgrade to Tier 8."

"It also needs enough dragon souls."

The corners of Ye Canghai's mouth twitched; Ye Bai's strength was increasing too quickly.

He was going to become a Tier 8 Beast Tamer so soon?

Your old man spent over twenty years just to break through to Tier 8.

And you say you are about to break through?

However, since it concerned his son's major affairs, Ye Canghai grumbled to himself but still thought about it carefully.

"There is a place that should have the things you need."

"That place is called Wanfo Temple, also known as Wanlongsi; many dragons are buried there as well."

"However, that place is in a Secret Realm; I have been there once, and it is very difficult to go there."

"The only thing I can guarantee is that there is a lot of dragon Qi and dragon souls there."
