"But my master is dead!"
"The eternal supreme being, the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor, lived as long as the heavens and the earth, leading the Immortal Heroic World in battles against the demonic clan, resisting the Demon Realm for over a hundred thousand years, and even forcing the demonic clan to sign a truce for ten thousand years. Yet, he is dead!"
"Don't you want to know how he died?"
"How he died has nothing to do with me," Wen Yu replied indifferently.
"It has everything to do with you!"
The response from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine was filled with unprecedented sorrow.
"Among the countless worlds destroyed by the demonic clan, there are always a few that are exceptionally talented, or there emerges an ultimate expert that dominates an area—like the Spirit Light Great World! Or there are worlds that had remarkably powerful systems even before the professional system emerged—like the Star Devour Behemoth Great World, and some that have both—like the Immortal Heroic World!"
"But their fate is always the same!"
"Life extinguished, and worlds wither away!"
"Don't you find it strange? Why is the demonic clan undefeated?"
"Don't you want to know how those ultimate life forms, which are even beyond the demonic clan's control, were extinguished?"
"Don't you want to explore the truth of things?"
"I can tell you for sure, if you don't seize the opportunity, if you don't take some risks, you won't survive at all, no matter how strong you are, you won't survive, just like my master once did!"
"With me here, your lifespan is nearly endless, but just like the former Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor!"
"Even with infinite lifespan, one cannot escape death in the end. Ask yourself, what difference does it make between dying early and dying late?"
"If you don't want to go in, I won't blame you. This soul won't last much longer, maybe in ten minutes, the sovereign will send someone to retrieve me, this unplanned entity."
"By that time, the sovereign will certainly erase all traces left by my master. You will know nothing! Then this world, with few strong beings and a low level of power and technology, can only tremble in the face of demonic disaster!"
"In a state where the atmosphere is sealed, even if you reach level ten, you can't escape this planet; you can only linger in this dying world, 'enjoying' your long life."
"Is this meaningful? Is this what you want? Is this how you want to survive? Is this what you are fighting for?"
...
"No, this isn't it!"
Wen Yu said firmly.
This way of surviving was not what he wanted.
However, Wen Yu's focus was not on that!
"In your previous words, you talked repeatedly about the truth, yet you haven't mentioned your most fundamental purpose at all. Can I understand that your real goal is not to see your master's grave, but rather something else?"
After dealing with a person like Lin Haifeng, it had to be said that Wen Yu had also grown.
"Yes!"
"My master said before he passed that I should bring the next host to his grave! That is my purpose!"
Perhaps time was of the essence—what the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine had just said about the sovereign about to retrieve him was not unfounded.
So at this moment, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine decisively revealed its true purpose!
"Is it good or bad?"
"I don't know, it is just the order from the old master!"
The danger level rose again...
This meant Wen Yu hesitated once more.
He was very curious about the truth, but he clearly understood the principle that knowing too much leads to quicker death!
...
Time passed minute by minute until the mental fluctuations of disappointment and resolve to die from the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine reached Wen Yu's mind...
"Forget it, if you don't want to go, then it's fine..."
"Who said I don't want to go?"
Wen Yu retorted with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, putting away the three spirit pets and casually reaching out to touch the Treasure Land Gate.
Just now, Wen Yu did have great concerns, but at the last moment, the reaction of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine was enough to persuade him.
