"Sending you back is impossible; if I could, I would have done it already. Besides, while I can't kill you outright, I have plenty of ways to keep you alive."
"You're destined for a love triangle; how about I send you to that little fox demon instead?"
After exploring the source of Chi Musheng's romantic entanglements, the World Consciousness was immediately filled with thoughts of revenge.
When he saw Chi Musheng's astonished expression, evil thoughts surged in his heart.
Chi Musheng's expression changed from astonishment to a sneer, and then he pulled out a dagger and held it to his own neck as a threat.
"Heh, yes, compared to death, being worse than death is more terrifying, but I can just die right in front of you."
Faced with overwhelming power, he was indeed powerless, but he still had the right to die. After all, if he couldn't go back, death was a good relief.
"You!"
World Consciousness almost cursed out loud, doubting that he had heard correctly.
No, you're threatening him with a knife to your own throat. What's wrong with this world? Who's sick here?
"Ahem, calm down. I really can't send you back. How about this, let's compromise. I'll give you something to protect you, and I guarantee you'll live a very comfortable life."
The world consciousness ultimately backed down, because if Chi Musheng died outside, he would at most bear half the blame, but if he died here, the entire blame would fall on him, and there would likely be problems.
Upon hearing this, Chi Musheng hesitated for two seconds before pondering.
"Okay, but you have to promise me one more thing."
If he really can't go back, it would be better to ask for more benefits to ensure he can live more freely in this world.
"Human monkeys, don't push your luck!"
The World Consciousness was furious. It had already made concessions, yet this human monkey was still not satisfied and wanted it to agree to something else.
"If you don't agree, fine, I'll just kill myself right now."
After saying that, Chi Musheng decisively slashed his own neck with the dagger at his neck. In an instant, a bright red stain appeared on his neck, and blood flowed down his neck and into his collarbone.
"Wait, I promise."
The world consciousness gritted its teeth and said.
Forget it, he won't stoop to the level of this human monkey. As long as he doesn't die here, that's fine. As for what Chi Musheng said, Chi Musheng won't be able to find him after he leaves.
Since you can't find it, you can't blame him for not fulfilling your requirements.
"You should have said so earlier! If you had waited any longer, I might have really died right in front of you!"
With a sickly look in his eyes, Chi Musheng took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from his neck and the dagger.
It seems that what just happened was just a trivial matter.
"You special"
The world consciousness almost couldn't help but curse again. It was the Heavenly Dao consciousness of its own world, yet it was being threatened by a human monkey from another world. If word got out, it would be too ashamed to face other world consciousnesses.
If it weren't for the unseen karma surrounding Chi Musheng, he would have loved to crush him into mincemeat and feed him to the dogs.
After wiping the dagger clean, Chi Musheng calmly placed it against his own neck and said...
"Alright, calm down. You're someone who understands the world, don't be so petty. I just want you to help me check on Grandma's condition."
"Don't you want to see what you're saying?"
The world consciousness laughed in anger. You put a knife to his throat and try to calm him down. Are you crazy, or is he crazy?
They're either humans or monkeys from another world, a bunch of mentally ill lunatics.
"Yes, I know exactly what you're talking about."
Chi Musheng spoke in a very calm and unadorned tone, feeling that he had expressed himself very clearly.
The world consciousness fell silent. It didn't want to talk to this human monkey anymore. He put a knife to its throat at the slightest disagreement. Damn it, can't you be reasonable? Who's the boss here?
I will grant your wish.
He didn't want to see Chi Musheng at all now; he just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible and never see her again.
In the vast white space, a projection appeared, showing an elderly woman with graying temples and a few strands of black hair still remaining on a park bench. Her eyes were filled with longing as she gazed at several children playing not far away.
He muttered something to himself.
"Xiao Sheng, where have you gone? Why haven't you come back yet? Grandma is very worried about you."
Four years have passed. That day, Xiao Sheng only said she was going out to buy groceries, and she never came back. After the police were notified, they searched the surrounding area but could not find any trace of Xiao Sheng.
She went to the police station early every morning to wait until several months later, when the police told her that the person might not be coming back.
She didn't believe it, but the world was so big, and she, an old woman, simply didn't have the strength to go looking for Xiao Sheng.
"grandmother"
Upon witnessing this scene, Chi Musheng's dagger slipped from his hand, and he trembled as he reached out towards the projection, wanting to touch it. If there was anyone in this world who still worried about him, it would definitely be his grandmother.
But before he could touch it, the projection disappeared.
"I've already fulfilled my condition by letting you see for those few seconds. After all, if I had continued to peek, I would have been discovered by the consciousness of that world. As for this protective item, that human monkey called it the Sword Intent of Royal Authority."
Immediately, in the white space, a golden longsword shot into Chi Musheng's forehead, and the golden sword mark was vividly drawn.
Chi Musheng reached out and touched the sword mark on his forehead, feeling extremely bitter, and even more so, regretful. He regretted not asking the world consciousness for some benefits sooner. He knew that in any novel, anyone who possessed sword intent was a genius.
If he had had this thing earlier, he wouldn't have needed to go into this line of work, and he wouldn't have been bullied, trampled on, or even nearly died at the hands of other demons several times.
If he had possessed this sword intent at the age of sixteen, he would surely have become a chivalrous swordsman, righting wrongs and vanquishing evil with his sword.
But now he is twenty years old, and his youthful vigor has long since faded. He only wants to live a simple and ordinary life.
With that question in mind, he spoke.
"Will this sword intent allow me to defeat Tu Shan Hong Hong?"
Because it concerns whether or not one can live a normal life.
"Below the Demon Emperor, you are invincible; above the Demon Emperor, it's a one-for-one exchange."
"World consciousness slowly said."
He had estimated the power of this royal sword intent. If Chi Musheng burned through thirty years of his lifespan, he could kill any of the current demon emperors, including Tu Shan Honghong.
However, in contrast, for a mortal without magical protection, burning off thirty years of lifespan at once would likely result in excessive depletion, which the body would be unable to withstand, leading to death.
"One for one, what does that mean?"
"Ahem, literally. Because activating the King's Sword Intent requires using a portion of your lifespan, and since you lack magical power, activating it entirely requires using your lifespan in lieu of it."
Upon hearing this, Chi Musheng's expression changed. Just as he was about to speak, a wave of dizziness washed over him, and he found himself back in front of the bamboo house.
He glared angrily at the sky and cursed loudly.
