Wu Tian leisurely lay on Ba Xia's back, holding a Jade Flute, producing faint, blue notes.
Around Ba Xia, Spiritual Fish occasionally leapt out from the sea surface, making joyful sounds, seemingly in harmony with Wu Tian's performance.
The lody ended, and Wu Tian revealed so lancholic eyes.
"Evil Ghosts resurrected, Underworld invasion, this True Realm is truly chaotic!"
"Leader, what exactly do you want to do? Do you rember the vow when founding the Heavenly Gate?"
"Restricting Immortals, resetting the lifespan limit, isn't one Underworld enough? Why revive the Evil Ghosts?"
Wu Tian's eyes reflected the entire True Realm scene: common villages were devoured by Ghost Monsters entirely, small cities were slaughtered by Evil Ghosts, Mortals, Cultivators, and Immortals, all were equally powerless in such grand circumstances.
Death, death, and more death, all the grievances on the earth wailing bitterly, yet on the reopened Reincarnation Dao, not a person was found.
The dead don't enter reincarnation, the living suffer greatly, what on earth has happened to this world?
"Then let out!" A sinister and violent voice suddenly sounded.
Unmoved, Wu Tian simply put away the Jade Flute, brewed himself a cup of Spiritual Tea, and said leisurely, "Care for a sip?"
The water surface churned, a black sphere erged slowly from it, opening a door facing Wu Tian.
A coldly seductive man appeared before Wu Tian, with a pale face, black shining circles under his eyes, a sharp nose with a fine scar, and a small purple horn on his forehead, giving him a unique presence.
Lucifer extended his sharp tongue, licking his pointed shark teeth, raspily said, "Tea? At least give so wine!"
"Sounds good!" Wu Tian didn't refuse.
After guarding Lucifer for countless years, a subtle, indescribable feeling had grown between them, not friends, but closer than friends.
"Gulp"
Draining the Immortal Brew in the wine gourd in one swig, Lucifer remarked sowhat sentintally, "Such a nostalgic taste."
"Nostalgia? Didn't I just give you so not long ago?" Wu Tian chuckled.
"Splash"
Chains clinked, Wu Tian sat cross-legged in the air, gazing up at the sun, deeply inhaled and said, "I seem to sll the scent of freedom."
"Freedom?" Wu Tian was stunned, then suddenly turned his head back, only to see Jialouluo already standing on Ba Xia's back without him noticing.
Ignoring Wu Tian's gaze, Jialouluo looked at Lucifer and said solemnly, "Lucifer!"
"Well, well, it's so rare to see you in this state!" Lucifer said surprised.
Ever since Jialouluo beca the strongest Holy King, due to excessive slaughter, he inexplicably concealed himself, normally appearing in a very amicable guise.
"Because now the Evil Ghost Clan needs !" Jialouluo said solemnly.
"I see, it seems the High Priest's choice was right, I thought you'd abandon our clan!" Lucifer said relieved.
The sealed three actually were all chosen after thorough deliberation by the High Priest. Farley and Lucifer were the most loyal, and hence initially determined candidates.
The last person originally wasn't Jialouluo, but eventually, the decision was made by the High Priest, confidently asserting that Jialouluo wouldn't betray, which subdued their doubts.
"My clan is my family, regardless, my family, only I shall decide its fate!" Jialouluo clenched his fists.
"Such a domineering statent, suits you well, then let out, I've longed for too long!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you're ignoring , huh?" Wu Tian interjected inappropriately.
"Hmm?"
"Wait."
Stopping the eager Jialouluo, Lucifer said sincerely, "Wu Tian, you're not his match, don't obstruct, don't you wish to see a friend regain freedom?"
"Friend?" Wu Tian frowned, wanting to retort, yet opened his mouth but nothing ca out.
Inherently solitary, with only music as company, Wu Tian felt extrely lonely in the vast Heavenly Gate organization, Lucifer was indeed his only friend.
"Friend..."
After a long sigh, Wu Tian turned his back to them and said, "Go then!"
Lucifer raised a brow at Jialouluo, who nodded, extending a claw gently slicing the chains, breaking the ones binding Lucifer for innurable years trivially.
"Let's go!"
Watching the two depart, Wu Tian laughed self-deprecatingly, "Is this considered dereliction of duty?"
"But this strength is indeed exaggerating!"
Looking at the severed chains in the black sphere, Wu Tian's face turned solemn. These are the God-locking Chains, impossible to break by oneself regardless of cultivation.
One needs help externally, yet the God-locking Chains absorb the captive's energy, strengthening continuously; having bound Lucifer for so long, even typical Daluo would find it challenging.
At least for Wu Tian, breaking these chains would require all his efforts.
"Such a powerful Daluo, it seems the True Realm is bound for excitent, unsure if the leader can withstand!"
"But what's it got to do with ?"
"Ba Xia, head east, I rember the lody Fruits are ripening there, indeed nostalgic!"
"Roar, roar, roar"
Amidst a resounding roar, Ba Xia slowly moved his body, creating waves, startling fish and shrimp in the sea to scatter and flee.
