"Why!""Why?"
"Why... huh, huh huh..."
As the sun set in the west and the waves crashed against the rocks, Xu Xiaoshou lay limp on a large stone, weakly howling as if all his energy had been drained.
In truth, even his vitality and vigor were completely exhausted with the death of the last Dao Xuanji.
His eyes were vacant, as though his life’s final goal was complete, unsure of where to head next, just slumping over the reef, letting the seawater soak his clothes, watching the clouds move westward, feeling his heart die at a glance.
Yes, Xu Xiaoshou had "died."
Unlike the "death" of a young prodigy, Dao Xuanji was truly killed.
Dragging his feet, Xu Xiaoshou killed over seven hundred incarnations of hers scattered around the world, taking both time and effort.
Amongst them were strong ones and weak ones; in truth, the combination of Phantom Swords Technique and Will Path could have killed her standing still.
Yet, a play had to be performed.
And with the death of the last Dao Xuanji, that constant feeling of being watched disappeared completely.
Undoubtedly, the Demon Ancestor withdrew his gaze and was unlikely to pay attention again.
After all, in His world, Xu Xiaoshou confined himself, and his life had already ended.
Xu Xiaoshou, however, felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
Reaching this point, even without relying on Independence, he had thoroughly Hidden himself.
To hide was not the goal, but the premise.
Doing so much was naturally to hide thoroughly before taking the next step.
But before that...
"Was it considered a brutal murder?"
Struggling to lift his eyelids, after avenging himself, Xu Xiaoshou naturally thought of his little junior sister.
The Lei family massacre, he had searched minds while killing Dao Xuanji and witnessed it from a first-person perspective.
One could only say, Dao Xuanji deserved her fate.
Under such mental torture, it’s no wonder Lei Xi’er turned into Mu Zixi.
Thinking back to the Crystal Palace, where a Golden Apricot had broadcast his brutal killing live, at first Xu Xiaoshou thought it might be satisfying, that at least Lei Xi’er could fully witness the complete demise of the culprit of the Lei family massacre.
Towards the late-stage of killing Dao Xuanji, he felt on a whim that something was off, that perhaps he had gone too far?
"I hope it doesn’t trigger any unpleasant memories..."
Once done playing dead, the useless Xu Xiaoshou thought it was time to return to the Apricot Realm, to live his decadent later life as the Lord of the Apricot Realm.
After all, he was the owner of one world.
Compared to the Demon Ancestor, his inability to further advance on the Great Path made him feel aimless and dazed.
In contrast to the normal people of the five regions, Xu Xiaoshou was not cultivating anymore; the achievements he had previously reached, plus the fame of being a Name Ancestor descendant, were enough for him to squander the rest of his life away.
"Go back!"
He crushed the Apricot Realm jade talisman, sending himself into a spatial passageway.
Reaching this point, Xu Xiaoshou didn’t even use passive skills like "take the easy way out," avoiding conjuring unnecessary associations with his strength.
No waves were stirred, returning to the Apricot Realm.
Passing by the Four Great Ancestor Trees and noticing their odd expressions, Xu Xiaoshou’s heart skipped a beat.
His pace didn’t quicken, maintaining a lethargic demeanor until he reached the doors of the Crystal Palace, pushing them open forcefully...
Upon entering, he was met with utter chaos.
As if swept through by a tornado.
Xu Xiaoshou’s eyelids didn’t twitch; he silently entered the palace, closed the door, and fully activated the great array to entirely circumvent any attention, even from the Zero Ancestral God, before flashing forward.
"Lei Xi’er?!"
The Crystal Palace was filled with disordered Holy Power auras, overturned tables and chairs, shattered plates littering the ground.
The Golden Apricot was nowhere to be found, with bloodstains still on the floor.
If he didn’t know this place was only accessible to his people, he would have suspected that the Demon Ancestor or other Ancestral Gods had visited.
"Lei..."
Xu Xiaoshou walked to the fallen Sovereign Stage, kicking it aside to find a little girl huddled in the corner.
Squatting down to softly call out, he suddenly froze.
Where was Lei Xi’er?
The oversized robe had become a blanket, covering a cute little girl with a sculpted, jade-like face, dried tear streaks still visible... yet she was...
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Soundly asleep, a bubble of snot intermittently inflating and deflating.
Clutched tightly in her arms and legs was a broken table leg, seemingly finding comfort in it.
"Mu Zixi?"
Xu Xiaoshou’s eyes brightened momentarily, then dimmed as he realized something.
Perhaps the images in the Golden Apricot indeed triggered some painful memories, otherwise Lei Xi’er wouldn’t have regressed.
Space Retrospection.
Xu Xiaoshou then discovered the cause of the chaos in the Crystal Palace.
He observed Lei Xi’er go from murderous intent, to powerless collapse, to falling to the ground, to suddenly going mad and raging, to shivering and curling into a corner, gradually transforming into an infant, reverting to Mu Zixi...
"Sorry."
Xu Xiaoshou sat beside his little junior sister, also losing the motivation for the next step temporarily.
He blankly gazed at the familiar yet unfamiliar little girl on the ground.
She still clutched that table leg tightly, snoring loudly, seemingly dreaming sweetly, completely forgetting the pain she had endured earlier.
Xu Xiaoshou pulled lightly.
The little girl whimpered twice, holding onto the table leg tightly, unable to be pulled away.
Xu Xiaoshou gave up, half-lying down to look at her, finally lying on the ground as well, unable to close his eyes, only able to stare blankly at the glazed dome of the Crystal Palace.
The world had suddenly quieted down.
Clearly, across the five regions, the situation was turbulent, thunder calamities ongoing, yet it all seemed unrelated to him.
