"well!"
In the outside world, the Holy King saw the aura of disaster emanating from Zhou Tong, and finally he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"As expected, no one can escape from the Three Realms and is not within the Five Elements!"
He took a step forward and came within a short distance of Zhou Tong.
"Boy, I will do my best to open up a way for you to survive and give you another chance to choose. You must remember this and don't be stubborn next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wave burst out from his palm, and he was about to press down on Zhou Tong's shoulder.
However, at this moment, a terrifying force pushed back from Zhou Tong's body, isolating him!
"How is that possible?"
The Holy King was surprised that Zhou Tong was consciously rejecting him. Wasn't he afraid of death?
Or does this young man really have no fear of the laws of heaven and has the confidence to fight against them?
In any case, he finally realized that he had met a shocking madman.
The young man in front of me is always the most outstanding person in any era.
Such a dazzling person would either be beaten to ashes or become an emperor. There is no middle ground.
With this thought in mind, he was willing to burn his soul in order to see Zhou Tong's more distant future.
But he was disappointed. All he saw was a fog. All the great secrets were locked in the unknown and no one could inquire about them.
But one thing is certain, the future belongs to this young man!
"Bang!!"
Vast waves emanated from Zhou Tong's body, transforming into rolling sounds of Tao, shaking the Holy King's heart.
There was a sound of grand bells and Zen chanting in his ears.
"Since you have seen the future, why not worship it!"
For a moment, the Saint King's eyes were blurred and he forced himself to suppress the urge to salute, but he saw that Zhou Tong had woken up.
"I win!"
He spoke calmly, without any emotion, but in the eyes of the Holy King, it became extremely dazzling.
In the spiritual world, Zhou Tong cut off his ego, found the last piece of the puzzle, and entered a perfect state of selflessness!
No, it should be said that it is... the most perfect state of selflessness!
"As expected of the person I've been waiting for..."
The Holy King murmured to himself, "Perhaps the reason why I have wasted so many years until now is just to meet you?"
Zhou Tong seemed to not exist in this world. The two long rivers of time, the past and the future, converged on him at the same time, and spread out into countless trickles.
He stretched out his hand and scooped up a handful of the future, and with a gentle blow, it disappeared.
Then it casually pulled it over, turning countless prosperous buildings into ruins and turning barren land into a paradise!
"Hehe... Compared to you, I can't do anything."
The Saint King laughed at himself helplessly: "Originally, I wanted to have a mutually beneficial relationship with you, but now it seems that I was overthinking."
As he spoke, his eyes gradually became blurred as he looked at the long river behind Zhou Tong that represented the past.
Amid the rolling "waves", an inconspicuous village quietly emerged. There was nothing special about it, but it was far enough away, so far that it was difficult to guess, and yet it resonated with the Holy King.
"Is this what you cut off?"
"Yes, that's my hometown. I was the most handsome guy in the village at that time, and my talent was unmatched."
"That year, in order to reach the state of selflessness, I abandoned my family, friends, and the place where I was born and raised, but when I woke up, everything became a thing of the past."
The Holy King spoke in a low voice, with an indelible sadness in his voice.
"So that's why you waited for me because you wanted to get back everything you lost through the path in my body."
"That's right. I once abandoned my hometown and reached the state of no self. Now I will sacrifice the state of no self and return to the past. This is called equal exchange!"
The Holy King's eyes became softer, and he looked at the old pavilion through Zhou Tong with great fascination.
"The old village is back..."
He muttered to himself, but received a ruthless denial.
"Don't continue to sink into depravity. The past is the past. The old village will never appear again!"
"No, you lied to me. I saw it all. That was the old village."
The Holy King shook his head, tears already glistening in his eyes.
He was seen pointing behind Zhou Tong, as lively as a child.
"There is an observation tower... Below the tower is a clear stream, and across the river is a lotus pond. Next to the pond are my parents and the girl I've always loved..."
"Hahahaha... I'm back, I'm back, my old village is back, my hometown is finally back!"
The powerful Saint King danced wildly with excitement, his face already covered with tears.
"My Lord, the Holy King!"
Zhou Tong's voice rose a little, and it was unusually filled with gloom and a bit more difficult.
"It's time to wake up. Your hometown has long disappeared. In the illusion behind me, your old village no longer exists!"
"No! You lied to me!"
The Holy King suddenly roared, bloodshot eyes, and looked over viciously.
"If I can never go back, then I'd rather... destroy everything!!"
He roared wildly and rushed forward without any plan. Although he possessed extremely powerful strength, he was like a naughty child and fought with Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong is no longer the same Zhou Tong as before, and he is no longer the Holy King he once was. He was defeated in just two or three rounds!
"Even if you destroy everything, the old village will never come back!"
Just these one sentence, like a sword flying from the sky, completely killed the Holy King's soul.
"I really can't do anything!" He sat dejectedly in the void.
"Come with me. I will find you a comfortable place that will be welcoming enough for you and allow you to forget the past. Believe me, I will find it!"
Zhou Tong stretched out his hand, but there was sadness in his eyes. He had already seen the other person's future.
"Thank you, young man. Sorry, young man!"
The Saint King's aura was shaking. Just as he said before, he was ready to make a final attempt, and the first thing he had to do was to sacrifice himself to the state of selflessness!
