Chapter 674: How is the Earthly Realm (13)

Hello.

Ren Yidao never targets any one person in particular.

Never.

What Ren Yidao has always meant is...

Everyone here is trash.

Never mind if you are some former Heavenly God or a son of the Heavenly Emperor, in the eyes of Huhu, you are all the same.

You are! All!

Tra—sh—

Small fry! Small fry!

*Cough cough*... Not good, I've been infected by that Jing person from the Female Great Ghost, and have actually picked up such a bad habit.

Ren Yidao was silently lamenting this to himself, but the words he had just spoken fell into the ears of the others, stirring up a storm.

"..."

Although Dong Yushu had her body's control taken away at this moment, her consciousness was clear; she could clearly perceive the changes in the outside world and could hear the words Ren Yidao spoke while conversing with the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant.

To Dong Yushu, Ren Yidao was a mysterious and powerful existence, an existence high and unreachable.

Yet even so, no matter how bold her thoughts were, she dared not believe that this "Fox Immortal" was an invincible existence in the world.

Ren Yidao's words could be summarized in one sentence—in this world, no one is qualified to have me scheme against them.

What an arrogant statement!

What kind of foundation and confidence did He possess to be able to say such a thing?

And the special state she was in at this moment allowed her to clearly feel the confidence and calmness in Ren Yidao's words.

He was not boasting or deceiving; He truly thought so from the bottom of His heart.

This strength and arrogance even gave Dong Yushu a feeling of suffocation, making her feel all the more that she had stumbled into an incredible event.

And for the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant, this impact left him in a stupor.

Once, in his eyes, the Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord was among the most powerful existences in this world, and a leader among them at that.

But even so, that proud and arrogant Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord had never spoken such arrogant words, and had never placed himself in that position of being invincible in the world.

Yet the person before him dared to.

And after recalling what this person had done thirty years ago, he could not help but choose to believe His words.

Although He had disappeared from the Earthly Realm for a long time, this was the Opener of the Way!

All living beings owe Him a debt of Causality.

If it were this one, perhaps... He really could do it.

After thinking of this, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant wanted to straighten his body in excitement, but he couldn't muster the strength; he could no longer feel his lower body and could only maintain his slumped posture.

He understood in his heart that once he chose to abandon the gift of the Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord, there was not much time left for him.

He raised his head and looked hopefully at the god before him, asking hoarsely: "My Lord! You, what is it that you want to do this time?"

He wanted to know, what exactly did the Fox Immortal want to do by appearing in the world again?

The dying Divine Servant longed for an answer, but the god did not respond with a solemn declaration, but rather a casual mutter to Himself:

"Hmm, I actually haven't thought about exactly how to do it yet, I'll just take it one step at a time."

"... Ah?" The Divine Servant was dumbfounded; he couldn't even care about the weakness and pain in his body, staring blankly at the god.

Is, is it really that casual?

"Haha."

Ren Yidao laughed as he looked at his expression, shaking his head: "Don't be anxious. Although I'm not clear on the specifics, the final thing to be done remains unchanged. I have a plan in mind."

After speaking, he looked with pity at the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant, whose body had already dissipated by more than half and was still crumbling, and asked softly: "What do you think of the Earthly Realm? How does it feel to have come to the Earthly Realm this one time?"

The Earthly Realm?

This...

Hearing this question, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant blinked blankly, wanting to raise his hand to scratch his hair, only to find that his arm could no longer be lifted.

He looked down and discovered that only half of his body and his head remained; those parts that had originally transformed into the Demon Race had all withered and turned to dust.

He was about to die.

No, he was already dead.

The reason he could still answer as usual was because the existence before him did not allow him to die at this moment.

He transcended death.

Upon realizing that his death had arrived, the Nine-Eyed Divine Servant appeared unusually calm; he was neither insane nor frantic.

Instead, he settled his heart, pondered silently for a while, and finally raised his head, saying earnestly: "I truly do not know how to answer your question."

"I was originally just a mediocre soldier in the Divine Dynasty. Because my strength was insufficient, I never became a member of the Divine Emperor's Divine Guard, and because my grandfather offended a big shot, I was exiled to the frontier. Since there were no wars at the frontier, I saw no hope of Jingsheng for my entire life."

He looked at Ren Yidao, but his eyes had lost their luster, immersed in his own memories, and he said slowly:

"The Earthly Realm... in my impression, it has always been very peaceful. There had been no wars for a long time, but thirty years ago, it became even more peaceful. Those conflicts that originally existed between the regions of Shenzhou gradually disappeared."

"I once hated this ease and peace, because it made me see even less hope of leaving the frontier, completely stifling my life."

"In despair, I chose to listen to the persuasion of a preacher, became a Believer of the Hundred-Eyed Divine Lord, and finally walked step by step to the position of a Divine Servant."

"At that time, I felt that this Earthly Realm was truly terrible..."

His despair, his decadence, his self-abandonment, all poured out at this moment.

But after he finished saying all this, he became incomparably calm, and a trace of a smile even appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"... But if I look back now, although I chose a crooked path later on, that was only my own choice, and it had nothing to do with this Earthly Realm."

"I also had a wife and children, I also had loved ones and friends. They trusted me; even when I chose to leave them at that time, they did not hate me, but kept searching for me, trying to make me turn back from my lost path."

"So, if you must have me give a conclusion, my lord..."

The Nine-Eye Divine Servant raised his head, revealing a smile; the smile was very bright and simple.

He said:

"The Earthly Realm is very beautiful; it was worth a trip to the Earthly Realm."

"If possible, may the Earthly Realm remain peaceful forever."

Crack.

Ren Yidao nodded and chuckled: "Rest assured, the Earthly Realm will remain peaceful forever."

Crack, crack.

The deity lowered his gaze, looking at the already fragmented shell, and whispered:

"Then, at the very, very end, do you have any lingering regrets?"

The Nine-Eye Divine Servant moved his neck, a series of cracking sounds exploding out; he tilted his head and hesitated: "Regrets? I have no... more..."

Regrets, are there really none left?

Really?

A moment later, a sobbing, buzzing whisper came from the skeleton: "... It is I who failed them."

"Wan'er, Yao'er, I, I shouldn't have, I shouldn't have abandoned you, I..."

"My lord, I, can I... ask one more thing of you?"

He wanted to open his eyes, but the trace of the deity could no longer be found by his side.

"I..."

"I regret it so much..."

"Back then, why did I let my eyes be blinded by desire and choose to abandon them? I..."

"I regret it!!!"

Crack!

Central Divine Continent, Butian Alliance Heavenly Court, Divine Eye Tower.

"Nine-Eye is dead."

If viewed from the outside, one would not connect the person before them with the Hundred-Eye Divine Lord; he looked no different from an ordinary person, not covered in eyes, and even had a somewhat transcendent, immortal air about him.

"Hmph, trash."

The Hundred-Eye Divine Lord slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of pupils that were pitch-black even to the whites of the eyes; he slowly turned his head toward the south, squinted for a moment, and furrowed his brows.

"Strange... why can I not see clearly? Who is there? Which blind fool doesn't even recognize my servant?"

"No, that's not right, the other party recognized my servant, otherwise they wouldn't be hiding their head and showing their tail... Hmph, a rat."

The fact that the other party hid their identity made the Hundred-Eye Divine Lord naturally assume the other party was an Immortal God weaker than himself.

"Heh, you think this way I can't do anything to you? Naive."

Even if the other party's act of seemingly not wanting to reveal information was already a concession, the Hundred-Eye Divine Lord would not swallow this insult; he was determined to drag that blind fool out.

Not only would he deal with him, he would make it known to the whole world!

The timing was just about right, and his own divine art had reached a bottleneck; taking this opportunity to use this matter as an example and making a show of it would not only build his own momentum but also intimidate other petty people.

"Ten-Eye, come here."

Creak—

A tall figure wearing a Nuo mask pushed the door and walked into the tower, kneeling at the feet of the Hundred-Eye Divine Lord.

"Divine Lord."

The Ten-Eye Divine Servant's expression was hidden behind the mask, but from his movements and wooden response, one could detect his dullness; he looked more like a puppet being pulled by strings.

"Nine-Eye is dead, he likely bumped into someone he shouldn't have provoked; take my Token and go see the situation." The Hundred-Eye Divine Lord raised his hand, a slit opened in his palm, and a glass-like eyeball flew out, landing in the palm of the Ten-Eye Divine Servant and instantly melting into it.

"Ugh!"

The Ten-Eye Divine Servant let out a muffled groan, his body trembling violently, as if enduring immense pain.

The Hundred-Eye Divine Lord turned a blind eye to this, slowly closing his eyes, and instructed coldly: "If his corpse is still there, bring it back; if it is gone, bring back the Divine Mask. The Divine Mask must absolutely not be left in the outside world!"

"If anyone dares to block you, crush my Token; I want to see who has such guts to dare to stir up trouble on the head of the Grand Duke!"

After collapsing on the ground and twitching for a moment, the Ten-Eye Divine Servant slowly stood up, the pupils on his mask regaining spirit; he bowed woodenly: "... Understood!"

"Go."

The Hundred-Eye Divine Lord watched the Ten-Eye Divine Servant leave, stroking the beard on his chin and chuckling: "No matter who you are, I want you to understand that in this world, no matter who the other party is, they must give me, Hundred-Eye, some face!"

"Since you won't give me face, hehe, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

The Hundred-Eye Divine Lord revealed a dangerous smile, planning his next move after finding the other party.

He was determined to make that guy pay a heavy price!
