"Back to our previous topic, I'll keep it brief. A zombie is bullying me, and I want to eliminate it by any means necessary. Is there any way to do that?"

At that moment, I couldn't care about anything else. As long as I could kill that zombie, perhaps my inner demons could be dispelled.

Afterwards, I searched for a way to repair Wu Shi's soul. Even if there was only a sliver of hope, I couldn't give up.

After thinking for a long time, Shi Jiu finally spoke:

"As for helpers, there is indeed one, but that place is too dangerous. With your current strength, I'm afraid you might not be able to get there."

I asked somewhat anxiously, "What? Is he very strong?"

Shi Jiu nodded solemnly: "Yes, very strong. Although it may not be able to defeat the drought demon, it is more than enough to deal with that wandering zombie."

"I had planned to wait until Her Majesty became stronger before going to him, but it seems that Her Majesty really doesn't have time to wait any longer."

I asked with some concern:

"Since he's so strong, will he choose to help me?"

"If he doesn't help me, even if I find it, it's useless, isn't it?"

“He will definitely help you, because he, like his subjects, is waiting for you. It’s just that something has affected him, and something is not quite right.”

"In short, with him helping you, that's enough," Shi Jiu said confidently.

"Then what is he? A zombie? A vengeful ghost? A monster?"

"No, it's a demon, or more accurately, a demonic soul."

“Your Majesty, unless it is absolutely necessary, I would still like you to consider it.”

"You now belong to the Taoist school, where there are countless masters. A mere wandering zombie is not enough to warrant such a great deal of effort from you."

"You should be thinking about your future now."

"Do you think that the Church of Heaven and Earth can stand against the world with just these things?"

"I have also gathered a lot of information recently, and the ambitions of the Heaven and Earth Church are far more than that."

“You do not belong here. To be precise, you have already disrupted the original trajectory of the mortal realm. If you summon your demonic soul, who knows what the future will hold.”

I frowned slightly; I was understanding less and less of what Shi Jiu was saying.

"You said I was very powerful before, but look at me now, am I really that powerful?"

"This... I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I don't know about this matter either, after all, His Majesty did not explain it to me."

"Your Majesty once instructed me to let things take their natural course, and to lend a helping hand when necessary, but not to reveal too much else."

I feel so tired. What am I anyway?

Why do I know nothing, yet it feels like a script has been arranged for me?

"Shi Jiu, you may leave. I'm a little tired."

I gave instructions to Shi Jiu, since there was no way to get anything more out of him.

"Then, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave. You may simply let things take their course."

After saying that, Shi Jiu walked out of the room.

I lay exhausted on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
