Heaven Slaying Blade

The monkey looked at Chu Mo, speechless, then muttered, "So, in this Heaven and Earth, it's just me, huh?"

From the monkey's face, no joy could be seen, instead, there was a sense of desolation.

In this world, almost all living beings have some sort of lineage or origin. Even plant-type beings have their roots. But this monkey is special; it can't find its origin. Born from a rock of unknown existence for countless ages, it first developed intelligence and quietly listened to teachings. Listening to the teachings of Heaven and Earth, the teachings of saints, and the teachings of even more powerful existences. It doesn't know why, but it can hear them. Therefore, the monkey started its cultivation while still in the rock.

Finally, one day, it felt filled with strength and broke free from the stone.

At that time, it was completely lost, not even knowing what it was. Although it had listened to teachings for endless ages, it did not understand worldly matters and knew nothing.

Later, it spent many years before the Supreme and the Buddha, yet its nature remained mischievous. However, deep down, there was a deep attachment to the Supreme and the Buddha. It didn't understand what having parents felt like, but it poured all its emotions onto the Supreme and the Buddha.

They were its mentors and the closest people it had in this world. Later, it met the six Great Saints, seven brothers who caused trouble everywhere... All emotions were gradually tempered in this way.

So, originally, the monkey had no emotions; its heart was made of stone. Even a divine stone is actually devoid of feelings. But the current monkey has experienced so much, seen too much of the world's changes. Deep inside, it longs for another self in this world, wanting to properly ask: In these years, what have you been doing? In your world, do you also have the Supreme and the Buddha?

But Chu Mo told it that in the other world, there was no such stone.

Alright then!

Let's leave it at that!

I was always the loneliest one in this Heaven and Earth.

Chu Mo looked at the monkey and earnestly said, "That world doesn't have another me either."

The monkey said, "At least your parents are many."

"..." Chu Mo's forehead was lined with black lines, deciding not to argue with the monkey. He turned his gaze to the silent six Great Saints.

After a long time, Great Saint Kun Fish said, "So, it is very possible that our universe is a mirror universe, a reflection of others."

Great Saint Roc said, "I want to meet another me."

"But why, when we reached the tunnel, did we completely lose that sense?" Great Saint Sea Dragon said.

Great Saint Cat blinked: "Could it be because... of the divine persona in our minds?"

Everyone froze, then looked at Great Saint Cat.

Great Saint Cat scratched its head: "I just said it offhand, don't take it seriously."

"Why do I feel... there might be such a possibility?" Great Saint Sea Dragon said.

"I also feel like it makes sense?" Fox Heaven Great Saint murmured, "Many people in the tunnel mention that the history of the tunnel has gaps. Do you think it's possible? That on the other end of the ancient history of the tunnel, things like the Investiture of the Gods or divine persona, or even Edict of the Investiture of the Gods, initially... were not to trap beings from connected universes? But to solve this problem?"

"Nonsense," the monkey said, "If it's just the divine persona, then it's understandable, like having a divine persona changes your essence, so meeting another self wouldn't have dire consequences. But the problem now is, the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods... is obviously born for control, how could it have been created to help us?"

Chu Mo also pondered, "Indeed, if it were just the divine persona and the Investiture of the Gods, it would be understandable. But with the addition of the Edict of the Investiture of the Gods, the whole thing becomes entirely different."

"Damn it, even though now Miss Bing is quite nice to us, having this thing in our heads is really discomforting!" Great Saint Bull Demon muttered.

"Forget it, don't talk about this useless stuff for now, Chu Mo came to us to discuss this matter, not for idle chat." The monkey looked at everyone and said, "Let's hear what he has to say."

The six Great Saints nodded, closed their mouths, and looked at Chu Mo.

Chu Mo said, "I am planning to go to the Luoshui Family."

"What?" The monkey immediately shouted, "Are you going to see them?"

Chu Mo said, "Not just them, but others as well. I feel it's necessary to communicate this matter with you first."

"Just go, if you meet another me, say hello for me." Great Saint Cat said.

"You intend to tell them this as well?" The monkey looked at Chu Mo, furrowing its eyebrows, and said, "Is that… okay?"

"Someday we will meet, knowing isn't a big deal." Great Saint Kun Fish said casually.

"I think so too, let them know. I believe the other me should feel the same way." Great Saint Roc said.

"Actually, if possible, I would like to meet that better version of myself." Great Saint Sea Dragon laughed.

Seeing that the six Great Saints seemed to have no negative sentiment regarding this matter, Chu Mo felt relieved. Then, he chatted with the seven brothers including the monkey for a while before leaving to meet Zi Dao, Ouyang Fei, and Meng Na.

Now, all three of them have been arranged to live in the City Lord's Mansion as Gu Bingbing's advisors. Life is quite comfortable.

Gu Bingbing also knows the identities of Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei, but she pretends not to. Both use pseudonyms here, and their appearances are fundamentally different from before. If nothing else changes, life will just continue like this, and for Zi Dao and Ouyang Fei, there is nothing much to worry about.

As for Meng Na, it cares even less. Coming from a place like the Gray Land to this world, having a foothold to live and work is already very satisfying for it.

Meng Na even expressed to Chu Mo its desire to stay with Gu Bingbing permanently. It has the ability, and Gu Bingbing has enough space for it to exert itself. She doesn't mind its origin or background. What else is there to be picky about?

After meeting Zi Dao, Ouyang Fei, and Meng Na, Chu Mo did not hide anything. He directly stated that he would be going to the Luoshui Family.

Zi Dao was taken aback, looking at Chu Mo: "Brother, it seems like you've forgotten something."

"Hmm?" Chu Mo raised his eyebrow.

Zi Dao smiled and said, "Don't forget, whether it's Chuchu or those six Great Saints over there, and the group of cultivators who entered the Tunnel with us back then, the God-sealing token that can control them is in your hands!"

Ouyang Fei also said from the side, "Yes, Young Master, have you forgotten? That God-sealing token... it's not just for controlling the two of us."

Chu Mo suddenly looked dazed. To be honest, he had completely forgotten about this! It hadn't even crossed his mind!

Zi Dao continued, "However, when we killed that Luoshui Family disciple who held the God-sealing token back then, the news should have been sealed. So, the cultivators over there don't know that the God-sealing token is no longer with the Luoshui Family. In this situation, I can almost be sure of one thing, which is that that group has long since been separated. Right..."

Zi Dao looked at Chu Mo with a smile: "Originally, there should have been forty-eight of them left over there. However, when we first entered the Tunnel, four disobedient ones were dealt with to establish authority. So there are still forty-four, and these forty-four cultivators have likely long been scattered and are no longer together. Then, whoever has taken them in, should be treating them well. Only in this way, can they avoid any suspicion."

Chu Mo took a deep breath, nodded and said, "It really is like that."

Meng Na said from the side, "What you two have done, is actually akin to saving those forty-four, yet they don't know this."

Zi Dao nodded, "That's why this time, when you go to the Luoshui Family, there's a lot you can accomplish!"

Chu Mo looked at Zi Dao.

Zi Dao said solemnly, "Some things need time to accumulate, and some secrets cannot be revealed now. But since we have come to the Tunnel, we must do something and prepare for some things."

Ouyang Fei looked at Zi Dao from the side, "Don't give random advice, the Young Master knows what he's doing."

Zi Dao smiled, "I've figured it out; in this world, one also needs to have one's own power. Besides, your identity in the Tunnel, the vanished Chu Clan royalty..."

Meng Na said with a bitter smile, "I say, brother, don't go around speaking about this, the impact is too huge!"

Ouyang Fei also nodded, "Yeah, it's not suitable for us to discuss this now."

Zi Dao said, "I know, we can avoid discussing it, but the Young Master must consider these things!"

Chu Mo was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."

Zi Dao said earnestly, "Although I and Fei'er, as well as Meng Na, haven't been with the Young Master for long, I trust that both Fei'er and Brother Meng Na regard the Young Master as one of their own. No matter what happens, we will face it together!"

"I understand." Chu Mo looked at the three of them, then said, "I know what to do now."

Afterward, Chu Mo took his leave and left Canggu City directly.

In the room, Ouyang Fei looked at Zi Dao with some reproach, "You're going to put a lot of pressure on the Young Master this way."

Meng Na sighed, "It seems that living a peaceful life is really difficult."

Zi Dao looked at the two, "In this world of the Tunnel, no one can truly live peacefully. Even with Miss Bing's high status, as you can see, it's not easy for her either."

Meng Na nodded, "The Young Master bears things far more than Miss Bing."

Zi Dao smiled, "We all understand one truth: since we can't escape or hide from it, let's face it head-on!"

Although Ouyang Fei's words sounded reproachful toward Zi Dao, she actually appreciated his vigor. She said, "What we cultivators seek... is actually just these things."

Meng Na said, "The cause and effect of the world are difficult to sever!"

"That's why we are not gods." Zi Dao said.
