Twilight Boundary-Chapter 816 - 804: Lao Junmei’s Path

In the hall, there was a dead silence. Even the candle flame seemed to have dimmed a lot, casting a shadow over the heart.

If the Reincarnator had known there would be such a question and answer, perhaps they wouldn't have hoped for Tieguanyin to appear.

More terrifying than confusion is despair.

Even if they were previously muddled, not knowing why they came or what they were carrying, hiding and stealing little pleasures every day, the Reincarnator could still live freely and easily. But now, it's as if they've been awakened by a bang, seeing the most terrifying future.

Tieguanyin quietly sat at the table, enjoying the slight fragrance of candles, seemingly giving them time to digest.

Er Guotou and Miss White Wine, Sweet Potato Wine, all just sat there dazed, some feeling extremely despairing and oppressed, while others felt the oppression of others and didn't dare to speak loudly for the moment.

Until Sweet Potato Wine sat silently for a long time before finally gathering the courage to carefully pick up the chopsticks and reached for a chicken wing, Er Guotou suddenly sighed.

This frightened Sweet Potato Wine so much that they dropped the chopsticks, then heard Er Guotou's voice, which seemed to have changed tone: "As this goes on..."

"As this goes on, isn't this an unsolvable problem?"

"What... what choice do we have?"

"..."

"There are choices."

Tieguanyin waited for this question, then slowly said: "Either death, escape, or be a dog."

"Otherwise, be like Mr. Longjing and seek a true death."

"The normal death of a Reincarnator, actually, after dying, the Living Soul still exists, it will only return to Tai Sui and be more strongly polluted. I think you have already seen such things."

"But Mr. Longjing wants to find a deeper death. In his deduction, there is a true realm, one can achieve eternal silence, be completely erased, and even not exist in karma, so even Tai Sui cannot reshape oneself."

"Just like in this world, after death, there is a possibility of entering the underworld for suffering, weighing karma. But if the Living Soul is also obliterated, and the Karma Soul no longer exists?"

"This is the method to protect oneself."

"Because of this method, Mr. Longjing has always been bolder than us, even daring to cause trouble in the Noble Zhang Family."

"..."

"Isn't this the so-called soul scattering?"

Er Guotou was dumbfounded: "When did this become a good choice?"

Miss White Wine squinted slightly and said, "And then?"

"Then it's escape."

Tieguanyin slowly spoke: "Escape, that is to become immortal."

"Cooperate with the people of this world, even with the former National Master Dongxuan who backstabbed us, to become a thing that won't be dissolved by Tai Sui, which is the legendary first Great Freedom."

"No matter how great the Magic, it is not greater than the heavens. The end of the realm is immortality. The Reincarnator's path cannot go on because at the end of the bridge is Tai Sui. Crossing the bridge will be caught by Tai Sui, but the natives may not be the same."

"Reincarnators are caught because they bear the mark of Tai Sui, but if the natives can also cross the bridge to a higher realm, perhaps they could become a life form parallel to Tai Sui, unable to harm Tai Sui but possibly avoiding Tai Sui!"

"And Reincarnators, may not be unable to learn something from them to obliterate this mark."

"..."

Tieguanyin sighed softly and laughed: "As for being a dog, I don't need to elaborate, right?"

"Anyway, we are originally dead. It's just a matter of time, coincidentally living this life. At worst, it's just going back!"

"Accepting one's fate, becoming a part of Tai Sui, is certainly better than suffering the eternal punishment it inflicts. Hehe, you shouldn't take the eternal punishment lightly just because you can't imagine its taste."

"In this world, there is the underworld and Netherworld, so Tai Sui can completely retain the underworld with a single thought, then suppress our consciousness in it and torture it for a billion years."

"..."

Her words truly gave a chilling feeling, and in the shivering of the body, a thought emerged in the heart:

Become immortal...

Previously, hearing about the natives wanting to become immortal, there was a subconscious disdain, especially for such betrayal to become immortal.

But now, somewhat subconsciously curious about how they researched it?

"Thankfully, Tieguanyin only appeared now..."

And in this oppressive and desperate atmosphere, as a native, Hu Ma couldn't help but think this way.

If she had appeared earlier, or if no information gap appeared among the Reincarnators, under such a desperate situation, perhaps they would have long collapsed. It cannot be guaranteed how many would crazily pursue immortality, or how many would want to return to Tai Sui.

The information gap of twenty years, earlier drawing unknown complaints and criticisms from many people.

Who would have thought, this turned out to be a twenty-year beginner protection period?

"So then..."

But at this moment, a slightly chilly voice sounded, it was precisely Miss White Wine.

She furrowed her brow, seriously looking at Tieguanyin, and said: "Isn't there another way?"

"Frankly speaking, if this is all the information you bring us, then the suffering you endured for twenty years is meaningless."

"..."

This statement indeed stirred everyone's hearts.

Even outside the hall, there were people hiding in the shadows, slightly startled, and their eyes brightened immediately.

Indeed!

The news brought by Tieguanyin was so despairing that everyone was frightened and hadn't realized this issue.

Tieguanyin has been hiding for twenty years, precisely to transmit information.

Therefore, the information she truly wants to convey can't possibly just be such a despairing answer to everyone.

"The little kitty is quite smart…"

Tieguanyin chuckled at Miss White Wine's words, praising, "She's more clever than the red one; she found my trail on Old Yin Mountain, and only thought of digging the earth to pull me out, making herself covered in dust."

"Heh!"

Miss White Wine showed indifference but was clearly a bit excited, probably imagining Miss Red Wine's dust-covered appearance.

"There is still a choice."

Admitting this, Tieguanyin's expression slightly changed to one of calmness and composure. Her gaze shifted to Hu Ma, and she softly said, "But we must ask him."

"You…"

She looked seriously at Hu Ma and whispered, "You've seen the path left by Lao Junmei, haven't you?"

"Shush!"

Inside and outside the hall, in the night of Shangjing City, numerous eyes simultaneously focused on Hu Ma, surprisingly realizing that the matter concerning the life and death plan of the reincarnator ultimately fell on him.

"Yes!"

Hu Ma, seemingly not surprised that Tieguanyin would redirect the topic to him at this moment, slowly nodded and replied, "The heavens have died, the yellow heaven must rise."

"Hmm?"

Everyone was momentarily at a loss regarding Hu Ma's answer.

Tieguanyin gazed at Hu Ma, slowly revealing a smile, and softly said, "It seems Lao Junmei indeed left a path."

Er Guotou was anxious at this moment and quickly said, "No, you all… can't die explaining a bit clearer?"

Hu Ma also took a deep breath, finally speaking, "The situation sounds difficult to handle, but the reincarnators from the previous generation have long made their choice, haven't they?"

"They've even used various methods to prove some things to us!" 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"They peeled the Emperor's skin so Tai Sui couldn't find the creditor, and used the ten surnames to suppress the country, extending life for twenty more years, which shows Tai Sui can be deceived!"

"Though heaven and earth are broken, it still cannot enter, indicating that the heavenly order indeed can obstruct Tai Sui, showing Tai Sui can be blocked."

"Mr. Longjing once used his seventh arrow to hurt Tai Sui in front of me; he used nightmare magic, which did not come by itself, so the arrow that hurt Tai Sui came from the human world."

"This shows the power of the human world can harm Tai Sui!"

"Just recently, Mr. Er Guo and I joined forces using the dharma method from the Age Suppressing Book to kill Tai Sui, though it was only a fingernail-sized part…"

"Tai Sui is frightening, but can be deceived, trapped, harmed, and killed. When even the weakness is exposed, how can it not be killed?"

"…"

At this point, he finally exhaled a breath of pent-up qi and whispered, "Even they have given the strategy: Pursue destiny, slay Tai Sui!"

"But this…"

The people in and outside the hall were silent, Er Guotou wanted to speak after Hu Ma mentioned him but felt powerless. Meanwhile, outside, someone couldn't wait any longer and spoke up, "It's easy to kill one person, but how to slaughter millions of soldiers?"

"Scooping a ladle of water is easy, but who can stop the vast ocean?"

"Ignoring dosage when discussing toxicity is rogue behavior; neglecting size and level when recklessly talking about slaying Tai Sui is laughable!"

"The mere words 'slay Tai Sui' are easy to say, but in this world of chaos, destiny is already worthless, so what if it's claimed?"

"Even if Zhenyi once said, as Big Red Robe did, to make our people emperors, leading millions of soldiers, what more can they do to Tai Sui's hair?"

"…"

These words were crude but undoubtedly reasonable, even inside the hall, Er Guotou and Gua Shao couldn't help but nod.

"Who says it's impossible?"

But at this moment, Hu Ma suddenly raised his head slightly, sternly saying, "I grew up in a village, seeing spirits and evil spirits harming people."

"Yet those ordinary people outside of the path still survived; they didn't understand magic, but their courage and blood are themselves methods of exorcism."

"Yin Ghosts harm people, one person can't stop them, but with many people, once their courage grows, even the fiercest Yin Ghost must detour. Common folk have little resistance against evil spirits, but as long as courage remains, Yin Ghosts cannot harm them."

"Tai Sui is certainly frightening, but what if it's just another Yin Ghost?"

"…"

Saying this, he slowly lifted his head, "The court is all rotten wood, the Great Power is in the human world."

"Lao Junmei's path is quite simple."

"Facing this thing, relying on the ten surnames, on the State Preceptor, even on the reincarnator won't work, but those almost forgotten people of the world have a bit of meaning…"
