All the way, those accompanying him are few in number.

Spiritual Energy from Zhou Yan spread out.

He saw Long Xianyin quietly, her face weary.

Saw Fei Ya of the Sky Saber Mantis Race, lost in soul.

Saw Qian Xi silently talking about Tao with Qian Yao, and saw Liu Haoxin sharing insights with Xiong Ba.

Saw the gaunt Fu Wanling, and the indifferent Suxin.

Saw many family and friends who had accompanied him along the way.

These people were not happy.

Of course, if Zhou Yan were to die, how could they be happy?

...

Zhou Yan’s words were calm.

Yet these calm words moved Mu Qingyan and the Holy Spirits deeply.

"Zhou Yan... Are you Zhou Yan?"

Mu Qingyan seemed to finally have a bit of confirmation.

Therefore, her voice was somewhat trembling.

"Whether I am or not, ask your own heart, and you will know."

Zhou Yan smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Mu Qingyan.

At this moment, Jiang Yuning, Zhou Lingyi, and Feng Zishuang trembled in their broken bodies.

Yet they were still hesitant, not daring to truly approach Zhou Yan.

"Qingyan, Ning’er, Ling Yi, and Zishuang, you don’t need to overthink. I am the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate, but also Zhou Yan, because I have released the fetters of emotional obsession, emotions penetrated and fused with me."

"I am still your husband; indeed, you must have felt it already, only afraid to face it."

Zhou Yan spoke, yet reached out to stop their excitement, continuing, "The order of the new world will truly descend, the Evil Emperor’s means have reached the end, perhaps the arrival of the final battle is both a beginning and an end."

"After the end, you will receive corresponding memories and a new life, you will not forget me as your husband."

"But very likely, my starting point with you will no longer be the same."

"I am just an experiment, a... a puppet used to gather various bloodlines, existing as if for the Mechanical Emperor to revive the true ’him.’

But I am not regretful, nor sad, because I have you, I have Yanyan, Chen, and Si Si."

"No matter how the world changes, I am still me. If the new world appears, I exist in the new world, then I shall no longer be a puppet, no longer be a clone, but exist with a true identity.

True identity, a life with Human Skin, the starting point might be very low.

But I will return."

"Do not seek me, I will find my way back, step by step."

"If I return, I will be with you."

"If I cannot return, then seal away these past years."

Zhou Yan said.

Immediately, he smiled.

With a smile, he left the place.

For he did not want to see tears of farewell.

That, to him, was painful, an unbearable weight of life.

...

Zhou Yan traversed the Endless Singularity to the Silent Annihilation Battlefield.

The Silent Annihilation Battlefield, as always, was desolate and destructive.

When Zhou Yan appeared, he immediately sensed the fluctuation of the Holy Spirit Breath within Heaven and Earth.

Then the Emperor and Lee Ran appeared.

Only two Holy Spirits appeared.

But two were entirely sufficient.

"Zhou Yan, you are back, have you learned the secret of the Emperor Soul Clan?"

The Emperor inquired.

He concealed nothing, asked directly what he thought in his heart.

On the contrary, Lee Ran’s gaze was rather complex.

Zhou Yan nodded slightly, saying, "The Evil Emperor has initiated the plan of the new world, the plan is already about to complete."

The Emperor was taken aback, his complexion visibly paler, saying, "Then... we should stop it at once, is there still hope?"

Zhou Yan’s gaze met the Emperor’s, calmly saying, "Why stop it? I feel that the annihilation battle between Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas itself is a scheme, it is only the best explanation given to the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas."

Zhou Yan said.

The Emperor was once again stunned, then gradually calmed down, saying, "Whether it’s true, I do not know."

Lee Ran sighed softly, suddenly saying, "The specifics, the Emperor truly does not know. I don’t know much either, but it’s roughly the same as what Zhou Yan said."

"That’s also why I’m not particularly worried about Zhou Yan going to the Emperor Soul Clan. However, reality is slightly better than I thought, Zhou Yan, you’ve fused emotional obsession, haven’t you?"

Lee Ran asked.

Zhou Yan replied, "Yes, it’s already fused. So now, what should we do with the battle on the Silent Annihilation Battlefield? What are the thoughts of Pan Emperor and Nuwa?"

Zhou Yan questioned.

The Emperor was silent for a moment, saying, "Fuse the thirty-three Silent Annihilation Heavenly Roads, create a new ’Heavenly Court,’ forming a new Life Magic Cube."

The general situation is like this.

"Where does the Earth Ancestral Land belong?"

Zhou Yan suddenly asked.

The Emperor was taken aback, then said, "The hub of the Life Magic Cube."

"The reason for the Three Souls and Seven Spirits of Heavenly Pivot Ancient Town lies in this?"

Zhou Yan asked.

The Emperor was silent, then nodded and said, "Yes."

"Then... then I completely understand. The battle on the Silent Annihilation Battlefield is to account for the deceased Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, the significance of the battle lies in destruction and creation. Without destruction, there cannot be rebirth."

"The purpose is merely to break this human moral destiny, to open up new inheritance hopes for the Human Clan, Mechanical Clan, and other Wanling Race."

"Yet, who can be certain the order of the new world will definitely be better than the order of the current world?"

Zhou Yan asked.

"Everything now has undergone many derivations, many developments of the new world will change with the former derivations, but there will also be some changes. As for certainty, it indeed cannot be assured, but it can be confirmed that the new world won’t be infiltrated by Evil Spirit’s energy.

That is an uncontrollable energy, also an energy that infiltrates invisibly, no Holy Spirit knows where it originates from, or where it comes from."

"But one can be certain, if this energy is allowed to infiltrate, the ultimate result of all Holy Spirits being truly controlled, that would be the greatest sorrow. And this possibility is immense."

"Even Holy Spirits might just be ants in the eyes of other special existences. So creating an independent, complete Life Magic Cube world, which cannot be infiltrated, seems necessary."

The Emperor explained.

This explanation also matches Zhou Yan’s own derivation conclusions.

At present, he nodded and said, "I see, I hope you succeed."

"What about you? As for... what are your plans now?"

The Emperor hesitated slightly, asking.

Zhou Yan smiled calmly, saying, "My destination will be decided later, I’ll go outside the Life Magic Cube and see."

"After all, as a clone, as an experiment, my role has been used up, so my life and death, whether it’s Zhou Wangchen or you, likely won’t be valued much."

"Do not deny this point."

"Because other than sensing my brother still cares about me, everything else in this world seems so cruel and indifferent."

"Moreover, I don’t want to stir trouble or scheme, but I still have to say, Zhou Wangchen cares a lot about Li Sunu. And Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas also care a lot about their Three Corpse Saints inheritance, if either side has a bit of selfishness, this new world may not be wonderful."

Zhou Yan said, about to turn and leave.

But Lee Ran suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Brother."

Zhou Yan shouted.

Lee Ran nodded and said, "After you leave, rebirth will definitely happen. I always have some... reservations, you will understand in the future."

"We brothers will eventually meet again one day, on that day, I’ll take you to find all your Red Faces!"

"No existence can destroy the evidence of their existence with you."

"And no Holy Spirit can destroy them in an attempt to eliminate traces of Evil Spirit."

"I don’t care about the changes in Heaven and Earth, I don’t care whether the world order is chaotic."

"As long as the existences around me are good, that’s enough."

"You can leave assured, everything else, leave it to me."

Lee Ran spoke calmly but with determination.

The Emperor immediately felt some concern.

However, he ultimately said nothing.

Zhou Yan nodded, also saying nothing.

Because between brothers, there was no need to say anything, everything was understood without words.
