Chapter 813: The Path of Elder Jun Eyebrow

The hall was deathly silent, even the candlelight seemed dimmer, casting shadows over their hearts.

If they had known there would be such a conversation, the reincarnators might not have been so eager for Iron Guanyin's appearance.

More terrifying than confusion is despair.

Even if they were clueless before, unaware of their purpose and burdens, living in hiding day after day, the reincarnators could still enjoy their freedom. But now, it was as if a wake-up call had revealed the most terrifying future.

Iron Guanyin sat quietly at the table, enjoying the faint fragrance of incense and candles, perhaps giving them time to digest the information.

Erguotou, White Wine Miss, and Sweet Potato Burn all sat there dumbfounded. Some felt extremely hopeless and depressed, while others sensed the oppression and dared not speak loudly.

After a long period of silence, Sweet Potato Burn finally gathered the courage to carefully pick up his chopsticks and reach for the chicken wing. Erguotou let out a sigh of relief.

Startled, Sweet Potato Burn almost dropped his chopsticks. Erguotou's voice sounded slightly different, "If that's the case..."

"Then, isn't this an unsolvable problem?"

"Do we... do we have any other choice?"

"..."

"Yes."

Iron Guanyin waited for this question before slowly responding, "Either die, escape, or become a dog."

"Or, like Dragon Well, seek true death."

"When a normal reincarnator dies, their soul remains after death, returning to Tai Sui and suffering even greater pollution. I believe you've witnessed this."

"But Dragon Well seeks a deeper death. In his deduction, there is a true realm where one can attain eternal silence and be completely erased, even from the karmic cycle. This way, Tai Sui cannot reshape them."

"In this world, when people die, their souls may enter the Netherworld to suffer and have their karma weighed. But what if even the soul is annihilated, and the karmic soul ceases to exist?"

"This is a way to protect oneself."

"It is because of this method that Dragon Well has always been bolder than us and dared to cause trouble in Nobleman Zhang Family."

"..."

"Isn't this just a soul-scattering and spirit-dispersing method?"

Erguotou was stunned, "When did this become a good option?"

White Wine Miss narrowed her eyes slightly and asked, "And then?"

"Then, we escape."

Iron Guanyin slowly spoke, "Escaping means attaining immortality."

"By collaborating with the people of this world, including those who once betrayed us, we can become something that Tai Sui cannot dissolve, the so-called Supreme Freedom."

"No matter how powerful sorcery is, it cannot surpass heaven. At the end of the realm lies immortality. The reason reincarnators cannot progress is that the bridge's end is Tai Sui. Once they cross, they will be captured by Tai Sui. But it may not be the same for the indigenous."

"Reincarnators are captured because they bear Tai Sui's mark. However, if the indigenous can also cross the bridge and reach a higher realm, they might become life forms parallel to Tai Sui, immune to its harm and possibly evading its grasp!"

"Reincarnators might also learn from the indigenous and erase this mark."

"..."

Iron Guanyin sighed softly and smiled, "As for becoming a dog, I don't need to elaborate, do I?"

"After all, we are already dead. This life is but a mistake. At worst, we can just return!"

"Accept your fate and become a part of Tai Sui. It's better than enduring eternal punishment. Don't take it lightly just because you can't imagine the taste of eternal torment."

"With the existence of the Netherworld and Yellow Springs, Tai Sui can easily preserve the Netherworld and trap our consciousness within, tormenting us for a hundred million years."

"..."

Her words sent a chill down their spines, and a thought emerged in their trembling hearts:

Immortality...

Previously, when they heard that the indigenous sought immortality, they subconsciously looked down on them, especially those who betrayed their kind to attain it.

But now, they couldn't help but wonder how the indigenous had researched it.

"It's fortunate that Iron Guanyin appeared at this moment..."

Amidst the oppressive and despairing atmosphere, Hu Ma, as an indigenous, had this thought.

If she had appeared earlier, or if there hadn't been a twenty-year information gap among the reincarnators, perhaps they would have already collapsed under such hopelessness. It's hard to say how many would have frantically pursued immortality or sought to return to Tai Sui.

The twenty-year information gap had previously drawn complaints and criticisms from many.

Who would have thought that this was a twenty-year newbie protection period?

"So..."

Just then, a slightly cold voice spoke up, belonging to White Wine Miss.

She furrowed her brows and looked intently at Iron Guanyin, "Is there no other way?"

"Forgive my bluntness, but if all you bring us is this information, then your twenty years of suffering have been in vain.

"..."

These words stirred everyone's hearts.

Even outside the hall, those hiding in the shadows were momentarily startled, their eyes slightly brightening.

Indeed!

The news brought by Iron Guanyin was too despairing, leaving everyone shocked and failing to realize this issue.

Iron Guanyin had hidden for twenty years just to deliver this message.

Therefore, the information she truly wanted to convey couldn't possibly be as hopeless as what she had just revealed.

"Little Cat is quite smart..."

Hearing Miss White Wine's words, Iron Guanyin couldn't help but laugh and praised, "Smarter than that red one. She found my trail in Old Yin Mountain and only thought of digging me out, getting herself all dirty."

"Heh!"

Miss White Wine didn't show agreement or disagreement, but her expression brightened a little, as if she could imagine Miss Red Wine's dirty appearance.

"There is still a choice."

As Iron Guanyin acknowledged this, her expression changed slightly, becoming calm and composed. She slowly spoke, her eyes turning towards Hu Ma, and said softly, "But you have to ask him."

"You..."

She looked at Hu Ma intently and said in a low voice, "You've seen the path left by Elder Jun Eyebrow, haven't you?"

"Swoosh!"

Inside and outside the hall, in the night of the Imperial Capital, countless eyes simultaneously focused on Hu Ma, as if they had never expected that the matter concerning the life and death of the reincarnates would ultimately fall on Hu Ma.

"Yes!"

Hu Ma, as if not surprised that Iron Guanyin would bring the topic to him at this moment, slowly nodded and said, "The Heavens are dead, and the Yellow Heavens shall rise."

"Hmm?"

For a moment, everyone in the hall couldn't understand Hu Ma's response.

Iron Guanyin looked at Hu Ma, a smile gradually appearing on her face, and said softly, "It seems that Elder Jun Eyebrow did leave a path."

At this moment, Second Pot Head seemed a bit anxious and said hurriedly, "No, you... can you explain clearly and die?"

Hu Ma took a deep breath, and it was only now that he continued, "The situation does sound difficult, but didn't the previous generation of reincarnates already make their choice?"

"They even used various methods to prove some things to us!"

"They stripped the Emperor's skin, making Tai Sui unable to find its creditor. Then, they used the Ten Surnames to forcefully suppress the world, extending their lives by twenty years. This proves that Tai Sui can be deceived!"

"Although the Heavens are in ruins, Tai Sui still cannot enter, proving that the order of the Heavens can indeed block Tai Sui. This shows that Tai Sui can be obstructed!"

"Dragon Well Mister once used his seventh arrow to injure Tai Sui right before my eyes. He used Nightmare Sorcery, which doesn't affect himself. So, that arrow that injured Tai Sui came from the mortal realm."

"This proves that the power of mortals can harm Tai Sui!"

"Just now, I joined hands with Second Pot Head and borrowed the Dharmic Techniques from the Year Protection Scroll to kill Tai Sui, even if it was only the size of a fingernail..."

"Tai Sui is terrifying, but it can be deceived, trapped, injured, and killed. Forget about its health bar; even its weaknesses are exposed, and we still can't kill it?"

"..."

Speaking to this point, he slowly exhaled a breath of frustration and said softly, "They even provided a strategy: Chasing Heavenly Mandate, Slaying Tai Sui!"

"But..."

For a moment, everyone inside and outside the hall fell silent. Second Pot Head wanted to speak upon hearing Hu Ma mention him, but he also felt powerless. Outside the hall, someone couldn't wait to speak up, "Killing one person is easy, but how do you slaughter a million strong soldiers?"

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

"Ignoring dosage when discussing toxicity is being a hooligan. Ignoring quantity and level when talking about slaughtering Tai Sui is also a joke!"

"It's easy to move your lips and say 'slaughter Tai Sui,' but in this world full of wounds, the Heavenly Mandate is already worthless. Even if we seize it, what can we do?"

"Even if we follow the words of the Great Red Robe, and the person they find becomes the Emperor, leading a million strong soldiers, what can they do against Tai Sui?"

"..."

The words were a bit rough, but they were undoubtedly reasonable. Even inside the hall, Second Pot Head and Sweet Potato Burn couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Who says we can't handle it?"

But at this moment, Hu Ma suddenly raised his head slightly and said sternly, "I grew up in the village and have seen countless monsters and malevolent spirits harming people."

"But those ordinary people who don't belong to the Taoist path still survived. They don't understand sorcery, but their courage and vitality are inherently a method to ward off evil spirits."

"One person may not be able to stop a malevolent ghost, but when there are many people, their courage strengthens, and even the most powerful ghosts have to go around. Mortals have little power to resist against malevolent spirits, but as long as their courage remains, ghosts cannot harm them."

"Tai Sui is indeed terrifying, but what if we treat it as just another malevolent ghost?"

"..."

As he spoke, he slowly raised his head, "The court is filled with rotten officials, but power lies with the people."

"Elder Jun Eyebrow's path is very simple."

"Facing this, pointing to the Ten Surnames, relying on the State Preceptor, or even the reincarnates, won't work. It's those forgotten common people of the world who have some meaning..."
