Chapter 54

Perhaps, for those survivors of the Great Zhou Dynasty, following the Great Zhou Ancient Emperor and restoring the dynasty was the only obsession that kept them alive. Even after countless reincarnations, this obsession would persist. Ye Qingyun said nothing to Wugou. He desperately wanted to explain that he was not the reincarnation of the Great Zhou Ancient Emperor. But with the words on the tip of his tongue, he saw the steadfast and hopeful expression on Wugou’s face and held back. Ye Qingyun feared that if he told Wugou the truth, this man who had lived for tens of thousands of years might simply vanish into thin air. It was better to give Wugou a glimmer of hope to hold onto. They exited the underground palace and returned to the surface. Looking at the rock wall behind them, now devoid of any trace of an entrance, everyone felt as if a lifetime had passed. It felt as if everything that had happened before was a mere hallucination. Yet, the injuries on their bodies were proof enough that it had all been real—not a shred of it was fake.
