Chapter 1577: Let go

"It is I."

Facing the Third Director's inquiry, the six Lords of the Dead World in the sky nodded neatly as if they were the same person, then bowed slightly toward the Third Director, their tone almost without fluctuation:

"I didn't expect that after so long, you would still be able to remember me."

"What's difficult about remembering you?"

The Third Director rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

"I just died, I'm not senile... By the way, didn't you jump off a cliff? Why are you back now? And why did you turn from one into six?"

"This is thanks to you."

The Carver holding the small knife answered expressionlessly:

"You didn't kill me back then for the sake of Lord First Dead One, but you also placed a restriction in my soul, making me unable to step into the real world ever again, and could only stay in this boring world, continuing to serve you humans forever.

I didn't want to live in that kind of endless torture, so I chose to jump off the Cliff of the End, wanting to end it all directly and completely end that kind of boring life that made me go crazy.

But I didn't expect that the restriction you left back then was even stronger than I imagined. Even though my soul was shattered by the Cliff of the End, the residue that fell to the bottom of the cliff couldn't return to the real world, and was still forcibly detained in the Dead World, scattered in the authority I mastered.

"And after the six death authorities I originally held were inherited by the new dead who came later, my will was split into six, slowly merging with the dead who inherited my authorities. The current me is both the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer and the six Dead World Rulers who inherited the will of the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer."

"Ah... then I probably understand."

Turning a blind eye to the hateful gazes of the six Lords of the Dead World, the Third Director scratched his square head and nodded with a look of understanding, then analyzed with interest:

"I should have thought of it long ago. These six death masters now indeed each inherited a part of your authority. Let me see...

The Faceless One's black and white bridge should be your 'Reflection Face', reflecting the memories of the dead before they were alive; the Face-Lining Master's Funeral Corridor is probably 'Lining Face', which is the part of the burial ceremony; and the Crow-Eyed Granny is estimated to be 'Guide Face', still responsible for recruiting the dead;

As for the remaining 'Cut', 'Wash', 'Record' faces, they are exactly the cutting and recording of life and death, the cleansing of evil sins by the filthy spring, and the recording of karma and obstacles... although the changes are not small compared to you back then, if you think about it carefully, they are really all the things you had back then.

"Hmm... Six-Faced Elephant-Deer, no wonder, ahahaha!"

After analyzing the situation of the six Lords of the Dead World, the Third Director, while continuing to stir the things in his big pot, said with a smile:

"I said why the Dead World was so restless, and even harmed the First Dead One, that mud man. It turns out you were playing tricks behind the scenes... So what are your plans? Preparing to take revenge on me for what happened back then?"

"..."

Facing the inquiry of the Third Generation old man, the six Dead World Rulers... or rather, the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer split into six, remained silent for a while, then stared in unison at the Third Generation Director below, speaking in different voices:

"What if I say yes?"

"Then I'll just die."

"? ！？！？！"

Under the astonished gaze of everyone, the Third Director stopped stirring the anomalous objects that were gradually taking shape in the pot, and said with a helpless shrug:

"You are not generally powerful now, and I have been dead for I don't know how many years, and only a little obsession is left. If I don't wait for death, what else can I do?"

"Lord Third!"

Upon hearing this, the Taurus Director, who was taking the opportunity to treat her hands, couldn't help but say:

"You don't have to say such things! Even if we fight..."

"Don't fight, there's nothing to fight." After interrupting the Taurus Director, the Third Director raised his hand and pointed upward, saying with a look of sigh:

"These few things are developed now. Looking at their appearance, they should have eaten the remains left by the First Dead One back then, and have absorbed the essence accumulated in the Dead World for so many years. Their strength is even stronger than the First Dead One in its prime.

Facing such a troublesome opponent, even if the me back then came over, I would have to peel off a layer of skin to win. You guys are weak, old, and sick, what do you have to fight with this thing? Just stay here honestly!"

"..."

Looking up at the silent Six-Faced Elephant-Deer above, knowing that the Third Generation Director's judgment was likely correct, Director Taurus's heart couldn't help but clench suddenly, but she still gritted her teeth and said:

"But there is no way back now! It and we are mortal enemies! So..."

"Mortal enemies can also be negotiated, not necessarily have to fight, at least not necessarily have to fight immediately."

Reaching out to press on Director Taurus's shoulder to signal her to stay calm, the Third Generation old man squinted at the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer overhead and said meaningfully:

"So what do you say? Do you want to come down and take revenge now, or do you want to go to the real world and take a look first?"

"Lord Third?!!!"

Upon hearing the Third Director's words, the cleaners couldn't help but be in an uproar.

The Dead World Rulers themselves are the embodiment of the authority of death. No matter how they restrain their own power, it will inevitably bring about massive death. And with the current situation of the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer, once it is allowed to enter the living world, the number of deaths will surely be unimaginable!

Read every word correctly!

"Don't forget, this is the Dead World, it's the other party's home field."

Facing the shocked and angry gazes of the directors and the bureau chief, the Third Generation Director spread his hands again, pointed at the Six-Faced Elephant-Deer above, and reminded them with a rather helpless expression:

"This thing has eaten all the Lords of the Dead World except itself. Now it controls at least ninety percent of the authority of death, basically equal to six Pillar Gods in their prime, and its 'family background' is even more amazing. Not only is it not afraid of consumption, but it can also recover infinitely.

Although you can theoretically fight, as long as it is still in the Dead World, you can only drag it but not win, and there is absolutely no chance of winning. But if it goes to the real world, it is equivalent to a fish out of water, and it will immediately lose the support from the rules of the Dead World.

And the sunlight and the living in the real world will also significantly weaken its power. When you return to the real world, you can get the blessing from the star palace. By then, the situation will be reversed, and wanting to kill it will become exceptionally easy.

So I say, instead of fighting it to the death here, it's better to let it go to the real world for a stroll."

"But that..."

"But that will definitely kill people, and it will kill many, many people, but what other way do you have?"

The Third Director, while continuing to stir the things in the pot, answered in a steady tone:

"If you don't let it go to the real world, including me, all of you will die, not a single one will be left. By then, without the protection of the Cleaning Bureau, with the situation in the real world, even if you luckily win, the people living in the future will be even more uncomfortable than dead.

But if you let it go to the real world, although a large group of people will die, in the worst case, the population might even be halved, but you can survive and turn around to kill it. As for those who died..."

When he said this, the Third Director paused slightly, then said expressionlessly:

"There will always be new humans born, isn't that so?"
