Zhang Guoqing knelt on one knee in front of Zhou Shu, his expression extremely heavy.
"It doesn't have to be this way."
Zhou Shu smiled lightly and said, "I'm just saying this just in case.
If I can't come back, just do as I say.
Maybe there is still a glimmer of opportunity to avoid those who are detached.
If you really can’t avoid it, then that’s okay, everyone will die after all.”
"City Lord, I'm not afraid of death."
Zhang Guoqing said in a deep voice, "I've already died once, so what's the harm in dying again?
I believe that other colleagues have the same idea.
But you, City Lord, are different!
With your strength, if you don’t want to die, who can kill you?
There is no need for you to fight that transcendent person now.
City Lord, you can leave the green hills without worrying about firewood. You don’t need to worry about us, just leave by yourself.
One day, when you have enough strength to crush the transcendent, just come and avenge us."
Zhang Guoqing's expression is very serious.
"If I want to leave, he really can't kill me."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "But it's not necessary.
If all the people in the ancestral land are dead, what is the point of me continuing to deal with it?
If the transcendent one really achieves creation, I won’t have any chance.”
What Zhang Guoqing said was possible, Zhou Shu naturally thought about it.
But it's no use.
His current strength has almost reached its peak.
Even if he really escaped and left the human race in his ancestral land, Zhou Shu knew that he would never be able to surpass the transcendent by practicing alone.
Besides, there is no need for the transcendent to hunt him down.
A transcendent person only needs to become the Lord of Creation, and then the world becomes his personal property. When the time comes, where can Zhou Shu escape?
Therefore, he has no choice.
This battle is inevitable.
He must meet the enemy.
"You don't have to worry too much."
Zhou Shu looked at Zhang Guoqing and continued, "Although I am not sure of victory, he wants to kill me, but it is not that easy.
In this world, no one can kill me without paying any price!
Even if I lose, I am sure that I will make him pay a big price.
At least, the opportunity for him to become the Lord of Creation can be postponed for a while.
This is the opportunity for the people of the ancestral land."
Zhang Guoqing's face was full of sadness.
He knew that if Zhou Shu said such words, it meant that he had no intention of winning.
In fact, all of Zhou Shu's current arrangements are like arranging funeral arrangements.
This made Zhang Guoqing's heart feel like it was blocked.
Since he followed Zhou Shu, what he has always seen is Zhou Shu who is confident and effortless.
He really couldn't bear to see Zhou Shu like this.
Zhou Shu kept saying that he was not a great hero, but he paid too much for his ancestral land and the human race.
"This magical weapon, when they wake up, help me give it to Wuyou."
Zhou Shu was silent for a moment, then flipped his wrist, and a magic weapon appeared on his palm.
Zhang Guoqing looked at the magic weapon and saw that it looked like an atlas.
He has never seen a magic weapon like this before.
"Give it to Madam, I will remember it."
Although he felt a little strange in his heart, Zhang Guoqing did not hesitate, took the album with both hands, and put it away with great care.
There was an expression of relief on Zhou Shu's face.
Atlas of Divine Weapons!
It has accompanied me for such a long way, and today, it is finally going to separate.
Even though he felt a little reluctant to give up, Zhou Shu also knew that this was the best way.
Not long ago, his strength improved so much that he was finally able to take out the magic weapon map on his body.
This is the magic weapon he gave to Zhang Guoqing.
Speaking of which, everything that he is today is due to the Divine Weapon Atlas.
The Atlas of Divine Weapons has long been his companion in life and death.
Now he is going to have a battle with the Transcendent, and life or death in this battle is uncertain.
If he loses then, he will definitely die.
If the map of the divine weapon is still with him, it will definitely be destroyed with him.
Zhou Shu did not want this old man to be buried with him.
This is one of the reasons why he left behind the map of the divine weapons.
Another reason is that Zhou Shu wants to leave a hope for the people of his ancestral land.
The Divine Weapon Atlas contains his lifelong weapon-making skills. If someone is destined to obtain it, he can inherit his weapon-making skills.
At the same time, you can also get the rewards contained in the divine weapon map.
Who knows, it will be able to assist another Zhou Shu by then.
The fire inheritance is nothing more than this.
"Okay, everything that needs to be explained has been explained."
Zhou Shu smiled casually, "It's time to go, we can't wait for the other party to come to our door.
Our city, Tongguan, cannot afford a fight between the two of us.
It would be more appropriate for the battlefield of this final battle to remain on his territory."
Zhou Shu laughed, stood up, and was about to leave Tongguan City.
At this moment, a figure stumbled in.
"Yu Hongyun?"
Seeing that figure, Zhou Shu's eyes moved slightly.
Before, he asked Yu Hongyun to make amends and take the Holy Judge and the Holy Impermanence to find the materials for making weapons.
After the Holy Judge and Holy Impermanence came back, they said that he had turned into a magic weapon and flown away.
Zhou Shu thought he was in danger.
Unexpectedly, he came back alive.
"City Lord!"
Yu Hongyun gasped for breath.
With his holy cultivation, he actually made such an action, which is enough to see how anxious he was running around.
"Fortunately, I'm one step ahead of him!"
Yu Hongyun also breathed a sigh of relief.
Running wildly all the way, what he was most worried about was that by the time he arrived, the battle would have been settled.
In that case, it would be meaningless for him to rush back so desperately.
"Who are you one step ahead of?"
Zhang Guoqing frowned.
"O transcendent one!"
Yu Hongyun said, "He came to our Tongguan City before, and I was afraid that I would fall behind him."
Zhang Guoqing glanced at Zhou Shu, and sure enough, the city lord was right.
The transcendent ones are indeed coming towards them!
"Yu Hongyun, with your strength, how can you be faster than him?"
Zhang Guoqing's face turned cold and he asked in a deep voice.
A fierce murderous intent arose from his body, "Have you taken refuge in the Transcendent?"
"How is this possible?"
Yu Hongyun smiled bitterly and said, "If I take refuge in him, will I come back?
I can definitely come with him."
"Queen of the country, don't be a scornful person."
Zhou Shu waved his hand to stop Zhang Guoqing, looked at Yu Hongyun, and said, "You must have your own chance to escape from the detachment.
The fact that you dare to come back at this time is enough to prove your true feelings.
Yu Hongyun, you came here in such a hurry, what do you want to tell me?"
Yu Hongyun looked like this, he clearly tried his best to get back.
If he has nothing to worry about, then there is no need for him to be so anxious.
"Yes!"
Yu Hongyun said in a deep voice. He glanced at Zhang Guoqing, but did not drive him away. He directly said, "I can survive because my lord helped me."
"Yang Zhitian?"
Zhou Shu said unsurprisingly.
"Yes! Although my lord has taken advantage of us, I know that his purpose is not to transcend himself, nor to play with our destiny.
He is fighting for the world!"
Zhou Shu nodded and said, "I know he is not a selfish villain."
"The city lord is wise."
Yu Hongyun said with a grateful expression,
"I know from my lord that this vast world is not originally dependent on the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
The spiritual roots of heaven and earth are transplanted by transcendent beings!
The continuous cycle of the world is basically the conspiracy of the transcendent person, and he did it deliberately.
He is the real mastermind behind the scenes, and he wants to take over the world as his own!"
Yu Hongyun said excitedly.
"Oh?"
Zhou Shu had a thoughtful look on his face.
He once heard Emperor Shitian and Yang Hong talk about an experience. That time Emperor Shitian and Yang Hong went to find Zhang San and entered a mysterious palace.
I saw a video inside the palace.
In that image, before the spiritual roots of heaven and earth appeared, the transcendent person was already born.
Emperor Shitian and the others only saw the transcendent ones in front and the spiritual roots of heaven and earth behind.
But they didn't see that the spiritual roots of heaven and earth were transplanted by transcendent beings.
This is very important news.
If this is true, then the power of the transcendent may be beyond imagination.
After all, if he planted the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, it means that he is very likely to be able to mobilize the power of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
"That's it."
Zhou Shu nodded and said, "I have always felt that this so-called cycle is manipulated by someone.
Now that it has been decrypted, it turns out that it is the detached people who are doing the trick."
"City Lord, the Transcendent One is too strong, and the Lord has already died in his hands."
Yu Hongyun continued, "We are no match for him, let's run away!"
"Escape?"
Zhou Shu shook his head, "You can't escape.
If he could really escape, why do you think Yang Zhitian continued to plan for so many years?
Why does he still want to die?
Since the transcendent person wants to completely turn this world into his own, he will not allow anyone or anything that is not under his control to exist.
Obviously, our ancestral people are a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh."
"Yu Hongyun, if you are afraid of death, you can escape by yourself."
Zhang Guoqing said disdainfully.
In the last war, Yu Hongyun was afraid of death and hid in the city without taking action.
With Zhang Guoqing's character, he couldn't help showing his disdain in person, which shows how unpopular Yu Hongyun is.
Zhou Shu didn't pay too much attention.
It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil.
Besides, Yu Hongyun didn’t have a deep relationship with the ancestor tribe.
"Yu Hongyun, it is right to seek life, but sometimes the more you fear death, the easier it is to die."
Zhou Shu smiled and said, "On the contrary, if you are not afraid of death, you may never die."
Yu Hongyun: "..."
There are many people who are not afraid of death. Aren’t all your brothers not afraid of death?
When they faced Bai Daolong and Tian Xuandao, they all rushed out to fight without fear of death. What was the result?
Wasn’t the entire army almost wiped out?
If you are not afraid of death, you will never die.
If you are not afraid of death, you may die faster.
Yu Hongyun asked himself that he was not a great hero, so he was not afraid of being embarrassed.
He had managed to live for so long, why was he willing to die like this?
In fact, if he hadn't known that the Transcendent Ones would never take him in, he might not have chosen to surrender.
"City Lord, I, Yu Hongyun, only have this little ability. I am just a small person. I don't have your all-powerful abilities. I just want to survive."
Yu Hongyun smiled bitterly.
Not long ago, he saw with his own eyes that all the Tianzhen Marshals died at the hands of the Transcendents.
Some of those Tianzhen marshals are stronger than him, and some are weaker than him.
They have lived together for tens of thousands of years.
Now they all died in front of his eyes, easily.
It's as if they have never lived before.
Yu Hongyun doesn’t want to be like them.
If you die, then you really have nothing.
"I understand how you feel."
Zhou Shu smiled hoarsely, "But there are some things you have no choice in.
Of course, now that our ancestral land has too much time to take care of itself, I won’t say anything big to protect you.
The road is at your own feet, you need to choose it yourself.
To escape, it is better to fight with the people of the ancestral land."
After Zhou Shu finished speaking, he stopped looking at Yu Hongyun.
Yu Hongyun, for him, is an extremely small matter.
No matter what Yu Hongyun chooses, he won't care too much.
If Yu Hongyun is willing to stay, then Zhang Guoqing and the others will have one more helper.
If Yu Hongyun wants to escape, he will be left to fend for himself from now on.
Yu Hongyun showed a look of struggle on his face. After a while, he looked at Zhou Shu and said, "City Lord, what are your plans now?"
"Humph!"
Before Zhou Shu could answer, Zhang Guoqing snorted coldly, "Yu Hongyun, find out your identity!
What plans does the city lord have that he needs to explain to you?"
"I didn't mean that-"
Yu Hongyun explained, "I just want to decide my own stay based on the city lord's plan."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"If you want to stay, stay, if you don't want to stay, leave.
Yu Hongyun, now we are not begging you to stay, it is you who need to beg us to let you stay."
Zhang Guoqing said coldly.
If it weren't for the fact that all the saints in the world were dead and they were in the process of employing people, Zhang Guoqing wouldn't talk so much nonsense to him and would have told him to get out.
You want to join the human race of my ancestral land, but you are still so hesitant, when we are begging you?
"Brother Zhang, you don't have to be like this..."
Yu Hongyun said with an ugly expression.
Zhang Guoqing snorted coldly and did not give him any good looks.
What a joke, the city lord is already making arrangements for his funeral, but Yu Hongyun still wants to be picky?
Zhang Guoqing has already decided that if Zhou Shu really leaves and never comes back, then he will also die together with the transcendent.
He believes that his colleagues from the Ancestral Human Race will have the same idea.
It is better to die vigorously than to live in vain.
Anyway, there is no difference in the final result.
It’s not that they don’t want to live, it’s that the transcendent ones don’t give them a chance.
"I——"
Yu Hongyun gritted his teeth and said, "I'll stay!
City Lord, I am willing to stay and live and die with everyone!"
"It's true that we live and die together."
Zhou Shu smiled and shook his head, "Either you all survive, or you all die."
Yu Hongyun frowned, not knowing why.
Neither Zhou Shu nor Zhang Guoqing had any intention of explaining to him.
"City Lord, if what Yu Hongyun said is true."
Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Shu and said in a deep voice, "The spiritual roots of heaven and earth are planted by transcendent beings, so no matter where we go, we can't avoid his eyes.
If anything happens to you, City Lord, we will still be cattle and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
City Lord, instead of just sitting back and waiting to die, why don't we go with you and fight to the death with that transcendent one!"
Zhang Guoqing is full of murderous intent. If the Transcendent One is right in front of him, he will definitely rush forward and fight with him without hesitation.
Yu Hongyun shivered but said nothing.
His heart was also full of bitterness.
Things have reached this level, does he still have a choice?
The Transcendent One is obviously not going to let them go. What else can he do except fight to the death?
If we stand firmly with Zhou Shu and the others, there may be a glimmer of hope.
If you are alone, you are really dead.
"City Lord, the Transcendent One had already set off before I came back. Logically speaking, with his strength, it is impossible for him to be slower than me.
Tell me, did he have an accident?"
Yu Hongyun is somewhat hopeful.
As a detached person, it would be better if you fall to your death while walking.
Of course, that is impossible.
Yu Hongyun only hoped that the Transcendent One had changed his mind and would not come to deal with the Ancestral People.
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "It is useless to deal with him with more people.
This is a battle between me and him, it has nothing to do with you.
If you really want to fight him desperately, wait until I leave.
At that time, I can’t care about you anymore.”
"City Lord!"
Zhang Guoqing lowered his head in fear.
"My subordinates dare not."
"Okay."
Zhou Shu said with a smile, "I've said all that needs to be said. Do your best to do what I tell you. If you can't do it, it doesn't matter."
"My subordinates must fight to the death to complete the delivery of the city lord!"
Zhang Guoqing said seriously.
Zhou Shu waved his hand and looked into the distance.
"Minister of State, it's great to meet you."
Zhou Shu turned his back to them and said slowly, "I hope we can meet again someday."
After saying that, Zhou Shu stepped down and his whole body rose into the sky.
Zhang Guoqing bowed deeply to Zhou Shu's back and couldn't stand for a long time.
"City Lord, if I can follow you, Zhang Guoqing will never regret it in this life."
Zhang Guoqing murmured to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
Yu Hongyun was confused, why did the city lord leave?
He won't escape alone?
How could this be?
Yu Hongyun felt a little panicked.
"Zhang Guoqing, the city lord——"
Yu Hongyun was a little flustered.
"Shut up!"
Zhang Guoqing turned back sharply, his eyes extremely sharp.
"If you dare to say anything rude to the city lord, I will kill you here immediately!"
"That's not what I meant."
Yu Hongyun was shocked. He had known Zhang Guoqing for so long, and this was the first time that Zhang Guoqing had become so angry.
"Yu Hongyun, I don't care what you think in your heart, but please remember that you are alive because of the city lord."
Zhang Guoqing said coldly, "He could have ignored these things. Even a transcendent person might not have the ability to kill him.
The city lord went to the meeting alone because of us burdensome people. If he died, he would die because of us.
I, Zhang Guoqing, will never allow anyone to insult his efforts!"
