Chapter 533

He now finally understood.

If Zhongli had truly been assassinated and died, the Peace Star could revive him.

But now he's only feigning death,

so the Peace Star's revival effect won't work.

After all, if the person isn't dead, how can you revive him?

So at most, it'll bring him over intact, as Lady Liu Yun Jie Feng wished,

completely unharmed.

In that case,

the Peace Star would be wasted.

"I wonder what expression they'll have when they learn this truth?"

A hint of anticipation flashed in Han Feng's eyes.

At that moment,

the glow of the manga shop faded gradually,

and a figure appeared before everyone's eyes—

none other than Zhongli, summoned by Jin Guang.

"Is this… Mr. Han's manga shop?"

Zhongli didn't panic; instead, he calmly surveyed his surroundings.

Upon recognizing the familiar manga shop, he was briefly surprised.

"Could it be that Mr. Han summoned me?"

At this possibility, a look of sudden understanding flashed in Zhongli's eyes.

Because earlier, when faced with that golden light's summons, he had no resistance at all.

It felt like a force from another dimension.

If it was Mr. Han, then it made sense.

"Mr. Han, you… how did you all end up here?"

Zhongli had intended to ask Mr. Han what was going on, why he'd suddenly summoned him.

But upon seeing Xiao and the others, he froze.

They came here to read manga?!

No wonder Ying couldn't find Granny Ping before.

"Your Majesty, you've finally been revived—thank goodness!"

Seeing Zhongli's figure, the immortals surged forward in excitement.

Though they'd never seen this form of the Emperor, they wouldn't mistake his imperial aura.

This—was the Rock King Emperor!

It seemed the Peace Star hadn't been wasted after all.

"Wait, what revival? And why is there a Shi Laimu in Mr. Han's shop?"

Seeing the enthusiastic familiar faces and hearing their words, Zhongli was momentarily confused.

"Your Majesty, this immortal is not a Shi Laimu—I am Lady Liu Yun Jie Feng."

Lady Liu Yun Jie Feng sighed helplessly.

If it were anyone else, she'd have leapt up to hit him.

But since it's the Emperor, she'd let it slide.

"You're Lady Liu Yun Jie Feng?"

Hearing this, Zhongli's expression froze for a moment.

Wasn't Lady Liu Yun Jie Feng's true form a crane?

How did she suddenly become a Shi Laimu?

But Zhongli reacted quickly—he immediately realized the reason.

"Is it because of Mr. Han's reward?"

"Mm-hmm, it's because of that Shi Laimu trial card—it'll take seven days to revert."

Lady Liu Yun Jie Feng sighed.

Wait!

That doesn't make sense!

If I truly got the Peace Star, does that mean I'll be stuck as a Shi Laimu forever?

A terrifying thought flashed through Lady Liu Yun Jie Feng's mind.

No!

I'll ask Mr. Han later!

I must confirm it!

"Then just endure the seven days!"

Zhongli shook his head.

Since it was Mr. Han's reward, there was nothing he could do.

Then he paused, turning to Xiao.

"Tell me the full story."

From the words of these old friends, he'd already pieced together some of it.

But we still need to confirm it.

"Understood, my lord!"

Xiao nodded.

He began recounting the events.

From the True Lord of Floating Clouds and Whispering Wind, he learned of the Lord's death,

then went to Ju Yun and Wangshu Inn to find them.

Then he went to Lady Ningguang to demand answers, and encountered the Demon God.

After defeating the Demon God,

in search of a way to revive the Lord, they came to the comic shop.

After hearing the entire account, Zhongli fell silent for a long time.

He truly hadn't expected his old friends to be so resourceful!

If the Lord was dead, then find a way to resurrect him.

This left Zhongli with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"I didn't consider it carefully—I didn't think of Mr. Han's comic shop."

Zhongli sighed.

Who would normally think there exists something capable of resurrecting a person?

Especially since these few had a stroke of luck and actually drew it.

Thinking of this, Zhongli asked curiously.

"So what reward did you use to revive me?"

Xiao only mentioned that he was revived, without specifying what it was.

So Zhongli was somewhat curious.

"It's this Peace Star! With it, any wish can be granted.

We just used this to revive you."

The True Lord of Floating Clouds and Whispering Wind gestured toward the Peace Star fragment floating in the air.

It was originally a spherical shape,

but after the wish was made, it turned into fragments.

"Any wish can be granted?"

Hearing of such an absurd ability, Zhongli was momentarily stunned.

If this were truly the case,

then the Peace Star's power is terrifying indeed.
