Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 855 - 790: You have a great attitude, but you overthink!

As the Thousand-Eyed Rat King mentioned the possibility of taking Zhang San to meet the Master of All Things, the Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path,

many of the Demon Clan present displayed looks of extreme envy.

After all, many Great Demons have cultivated for thousands of years and have yet to see the Master of All Things.

This human race, it’s truly enviable to demons!

Soon, a group of rat demons, all larger in size than the war horses in the army, came running over.

Zhang San and others, along with other supreme demons, mounted the colossal rat demons and departed from the place.

Even the Great Merciful Tree King allowed its true form to enter a brief slumber, while sending a Taoist body to accompany everyone.

Both the Jianmu Child and Princess Nihuang also found this opportunity rare, and followed along as well.

Although the Five Immortal Clans of the Northeast are not part of Longyou Road’s Demon Clan, they are also members of the All Things Path, thus they joined as well.

By this time, the sky was already bright.

The group traversed mountains and ridges, eventually reaching the base of a cliff behind a gigantic mountain, where a huge cave entrance lay, and they all entered.

Passing through a long and dark tunnel, they arrived at a cave where sunlight was able to shine down.

Above the cave was an enormous, transparent, unique boulder, filled with numerous holes to ensure constant ventilation within the cave below.

"Master, I have brought Zhang San."

The Thousand-Eyed Rat King respectfully spoke toward the interior of the cave.

It was then that everyone realized that what appeared to be an empty area in the cave was suddenly filled with countless runes surging, which then revealed a gigantic demon within.

It was a massive white goat, silently lying on the ground, with a single curved horn on its head, and behind the horn was an eye that was closed.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang San discovered it wasn’t a matter of perspective; the goat truly had only one horn and one eye.

Yet for some inexplicable reason, upon seeing the figure, Zhang San sensed this Red Dust Immortal from the All Things Path seemed quite frail.

At the same time, as Zhang San closely observed the body, he noticed black spots appearing on the massive white goat.

These spots grew in number, multiplying, and each tiny black spot appeared alive, continually writhing, then slowly spreading around.

"Zhang San!"

Startled by the voice of the Thousand-Eyed Rat King beside him, Zhang San noticed the enormous white goat was now slightly opening its single eye.

At that moment, Zhang San realized the black spots were no longer visible on the creature.

"Apologies, this is my first time encountering such a mighty and formidable being like the Master of All Things, and I was momentarily lost in thought. I hope the Master won’t take offense. After all, I’m young and inexperienced."

The Master of All Things glanced in the direction of Zhang San, and in the next instant, suddenly...

Numerous eyes abruptly opened across the massive white goat’s body from some unknown part.

Each and every eye was deep red, even causing Zhang San, who had just witnessed a full body of black spots, to be startled by the sheer number of crimson eyes.

"This... this... so many eyes on the Master of All Things, it’s incredible!"

Upon hearing Zhang San’s words, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King beside him looked puzzled at Zhang San.

For he was certain that at this moment, the Master of All Things wasn’t employing any illusion technique.

Likewise, he was sure that the Master of All Things only had a single eye.

Not a body full of eyes.

"Indeed, you can see them too."

As the Master of All Things’ voice resonated, Zhang San suddenly realized the enormous white goat before him possessed none of those countless crimson eyes.

"From now on, I will speak, and you all... listen."

With the Master of All Things’ voice echoing, the many supreme demons and great demons seated themselves around the area.

Zhang San followed suit and sat down with them.

At this moment, Baili Niezhen, seated behind Zhang San, appeared somewhat anxious.

But most nervous of all was Wang Ziteng.

After all, Wang Ziteng was also an Officer of the Town Demon Office, and so he participated in this endeavor, though he mostly coasted through it, he was, after all, Zhang San’s sworn sixth brother, allowing him to remain with the main forces throughout.

Wang Ziteng never imagined he’d live to see the Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path with his own eyes.

But why does this Red Dust Immortal love lying down so much?

"I am Yan Liu. Zhang San, you might never have heard this name, but you should have heard of a former name of mine—Yan Lai."

In truth, Zhang San had never heard of this name, but that didn’t prevent him from pretending he knew and responding with a smiling nod.

"Back then, because you humans said I could bring harvest, you wished for me to come and named me Yan Lai, but in reality, my name was always Yan. It was just you humans imposing your own perception, bestowing a new name upon me. But it didn’t matter, as long as it represented something beautiful at that time, I had no objections."

"Later, as I traversed your human world, people began to think I brought calamity, thus referring to me as Yan Qu. Consequently, a being deemed once auspicious and a divine beast became, in your words, akin to a calamity of the Path of Calamity. I once encountered a Drought Demon who, too, couldn’t understand why doing nothing could yield such contradictory opinions."

"Finally, I arrived at Longyou Road, and I found it quite nice here. So I decided to stay. It was then I realized, coming or staying, it matters not. What others say isn’t all that important. Whether it’s you humans or us demons, in the end, we live only for ourselves. So I named myself Yan Liu."

"Remaining, where I choose to be, is indeed my choice. And from that moment, I became a supreme demon, later becoming the Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path."

"Regarding the choice to stay, I’ve never regretted it."

"And today, I want to announce something very important."

Upon hearing this, the faces of all the supreme demons present, except for the Thousand-Eyed Rat King, became somewhat unnatural.

Because they all realized that the current state of the Master of All Things was not a good state.

And these words from the Master of All Things were not merely idle talk, but carried a sense of a final bequest.

Could it be...

"I wish to appoint one among you here today as the successor to the Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path."

"Of course, I am aware the position of Red Dust Immortal in the All Things Path is traditionally succeeded by the next generation defeating and eliminating the previous Red Dust Immortal. I am an exception, and now, perhaps it will happen once more."

"Yet I’ve always gone with the flow in life, rarely making choices. Staying was my first choice. Now, this successor, is my second choice. Will you respect my choice?"

At this time, a very bold thought appeared in Zhang San’s mind.

"Senior Yan Liu, you’re not referring to me as the successor, are you?"

Yan Liu gave a slight smile towards Zhang San and replied, "You have a good attitude, but you think too much."
