Zhang San, please behave yourself!-Chapter 856 - 791: The Tragedy of Yan Liu

At this moment, Zhang San felt quite awkward.

But at times like this, it’s undeniable that having thick skin can be beneficial.

"Zhang San, I hope you can stay here as a witness. After all, the All Things Path will also need your assistance in the future."

Zhang San chuckled.

"Master of All Things, you’re too kind. I’m just a minor practitioner in the Spiritual Platform Realm; how could I possibly be of any help? Hahahaha..."

"Among the human race, no, in this world, there are now very few who cultivate in three Seas of Wheels simultaneously. And you are one of them, having reached this point at such a young age indicates you are truly a genius among geniuses. Moreover, the power of your soul is exceptionally strong, a divine anomaly exceeding ordinary people."

Zhang San felt a bit embarrassed by Yan Liu’s praise, after all, she was the Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path.

The Demon Clan of the All Things Path probably have never been praised like this.

"And what is most remarkable about you, Zhang San, is that you originally bore the appearance of someone destined for early death, seemingly unable to live past twenty! Yet, you’ve managed to survive until now, thriving among the human race. It’s said, ’Survival of the fittest.’ In this regard, you exemplify the model of the All Things Path."

At this moment, Zhang San had a response about not yet being twenty years old but was unsure if he should say it.

After consideration, he decided against it.

"Speaking of which, the Red Dust Immortals of the All Things Path of every generation need to complete the junction ceremony through slaughter. After all, only a more powerful one can adapt to the rules of all things, can adapt to this world. Hence, I hope the supreme demons present will strike together and kill me. Then, you can compete to see who will become the new Master of All Things."

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

Even Hu, who had just recently become a supreme demon and was seeing Yan Liu for the first time today, couldn’t bring himself to act against the gentle white mountain goat, Yan Liu.

The All Things Path has always been brutal, yet for Yan Liu, the word "brutal" seemed to be nonexistent.

She was always so gentle, so kind.

Even facing death, she exhibited an unusual composure and calmness, making everyone feel that death was not such a frightening matter.

"Dominant, is there no other way to pass down the legacy? For instance, you could pass the position of Red Dust Immortal to someone and then retire?"

The Thousand-Eyed Rat King had received guidance from Yan Liu back then, transforming step by step from an ordinary rat demon to the Thousand-Eyed Rat King of today.

To him, Yan Liu was like a mentor, more like a mother figure.

If there was even the slightest possibility, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King didn’t want anything to happen to Yan Liu.

Yan Liu smiled and shook her head softly, saying, "Thousand Eyes, you know as well, life and death are determined by fate. Everything has a set route. My time has come. It’s impossible for me to remain in this world for much longer."

Even though Yan Liu said so, none of the present supreme demons were willing to act.

Seeing this, Yan Liu smiled.

That smile held some relief, but also some helplessness.

"Alright then, since it’s like this, let me be honest with you all..."

Hearing Yan Liu say this, the Thousand-Eyed Rat King couldn’t help but feel joyful.

Could it be that Yan Liu is actually fine?

Was this all just a test of heart!?

However, Yan Liu continued, "I actually sensed a long time ago that the Six Paths of this world had become unstable. Even a friend of mine has started to continuously reinforce and secure the path he controls to prevent the collapse of this world."

"Thus, I also set out to explore what went wrong in this world. Naturally, such exploration couldn’t avoid looking beyond this world to see what other worlds are like. It was then that I encountered Them!"

"At the time, I didn’t know who they were, nor did I know what they were. It was only later that I found out they have a unified name, called—"

"Outer Gods!"

Even though it was the first time hearing this term, for some reason, Zhang San felt as if his heart trembled slightly.

Then, a large number of black spots started appearing on Yan Liu’s body, and even some black tentacles emerged from the centers of these spots.

Upon seeing this, everyone was startled.

Only Zhang San remained unfazed.

Because just now, Zhang San had already witnessed this once before.

"I have been polluted by the power of the Outer Gods. I can’t quite explain what exactly this pollution is, but I feel my power growing weaker and starting to lose control bit by bit."

"While I don’t know what the future holds, I’m afraid that soon I will be completely controlled by the power of the Outer Gods."

"To prevent the All Things Path from being destroyed by me, I hope everyone strikes! Killing me would prevent the Red Dust Immortal of All Things Path from becoming a minion of the Outer Gods beyond this world!"

Though everything on Yan Liu’s body shocked everyone present, none could bear to take action against Yan Liu.

At this moment, Yan Liu turned her gaze towards Zhang San.

"If no one else is willing to take action, then Zhang San, I can only rely on you. There is just one request, and that is not to use that sword of yours! I know your Imperial Path has lost a lot of Qi Luck over these past few years, and you are using this sword to help collect Qi Luck to strengthen the Great Sui’s national fortune. If you use this sword to kill me, it will absorb my All Things Path’s Qi Luck, which is unacceptable!"

Zhang San never expected that the first favor requested of him by the Red Dust Immortal of the All Things Path was to kill the Red Dust Immortal.

Even though previously he had killed a Crown Prince who was nearly a Red Dust Immortal.

But that one was merely close to becoming one, while the person in front of him was a true Red Dust Immortal!

However, from a rational standpoint, Zhang San understood that if Yan Liu were indeed controlled by the power of the Outer Gods, something truly terrifying might happen to the All Things Path.

Thus, Zhang San grasped the somewhat reluctant Spear in his hand, and asked Yan Liu, "Senior Yan Liu, do you have any last wishes?"

Yan Liu softly said, "I hope that all living beings of the All Things Path can freely inhabit this world, come and go as they please, able to leave, and able to stay."

Zhang San bowed and said, "My Great Sui is establishing the Mountain God system, River God system, and the Twelve Zodiacs system. Once successfully established, it will allow many of the Demon Clan to settle in our Great Sui and coexist with the human race."

Hearing this, Yan Liu smiled satisfiedly.

Because she could feel that Zhang San wasn’t merely saying some comforting words, he was truly working on this matter, and she had heard the Thousand-Eyed Rat King mention it before, knowing these things were indeed feasible.

"If that’s the case, the All Things Path in the future is entrusted to Mr. Zhang San to take care of."

As soon as Yan Liu finished her words, Zhang San raised the constantly trembling Spear in his hand and slashed towards Yan Liu.

Bang—

Suddenly, a tentacle from Yan Liu shot out, expanded immensely, and directly knocked Zhang San away.

Next, a different voice emerged from within Yan Liu’s body.

"My chosen vessel! Why do you want to ruin my plan?"
