Chapter 54

Perhaps, to the remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, following the Great Zhou Ancient Emperor and reviving the Great Zhou was the only obsession that kept them alive. Even after countless cycles of reincarnation, this obsession would endure. Ye Qingyun said nothing to Wugou. He desperately wanted to explain that he was not the reincarnation of the Great Zhou Ancient Emperor. However, as the words reached his lips, he saw the firm and expectant look on Wugou’s face and held his tongue. He feared that if he told the truth to a man who had lived for tens of thousands of years, Wugou might simply vanish into thin air. It was better to leave him with this glimmer of hope to keep him going.

It felt like a lifetime had passed, as if everything before had been a hallucination. Yet, the injuries they bore were proof enough that it had all been real—there was not a hint of falsehood in it!
