The man smiled slightly, "You'll understand once you follow me."
Su Chen nodded and carefully observed the man.
His face was covered with scars, and his back was hunched over, as if a hundred-pound burden was weighing him down, preventing him from lifting his head.
Su Chen felt it was impolite to keep staring at the other person, so she quickly looked away and started a conversation.
"When did you start following Jin Yu?"
The man covered his chest with his right hand and replied respectfully, "I have been following my master for a thousand years."
A thousand years ago... wasn't that the time of the great war between immortals and demons?
"So you also participated in the war between immortals and demons a thousand years ago?" Su Chen asked as soon as she thought of it.
But as soon as he said it, he regretted it, afraid that it would bring up some unpleasant memories for the person in front of him.
The hunched man raised his head, glanced at her with his cloudy eyes, then quickly lowered his head again, gently nodding his slightly protruding chin toward the ground.
Judging from his appearance, Su Chen believed it was very likely a mark left from the ancient war between immortals and demons. Perhaps it was left by some deity.
Thinking of this, she asked, "Do you hate the immortal realm?"
"What does it matter whether you hate or not?" the man suddenly sneered. "Didn't God already receive divine retribution?"
Su Chen sensed something was wrong with this man, but she was still shocked by his words, "You mean... God's slumber is Heaven's retribution?!"
She was shocked! It seemed she had heard something incredible.
And... who exactly is this man in front of me? How could he say that God's slumber is divine retribution?
The man seemed quite agitated when he brought it up.
"Back then, the gods led the celestial realm to nearly wipe out the demon realm, all because of that bullshit prophecy!" The man chuckled. "For this, they slaughtered all the demons and forced the demon king to the Endless Abyss."
Su Chen's heart sank as she listened to what he said. The words of this man from before the New Year did not sound like those of a subordinate.
She was secretly surprised, but her expression remained unchanged. Her best course of action now was to extract as much information as possible from him and then buy time for Jin Yu to return.
Having made up her mind, Su Chen calmed herself and asked, "Now that the demons have been eradicated, the oath is broken. So why have the gods fallen into slumber again?"
"Gods are immortal and indestructible; nothing in the six realms can destroy them," the hunchbacked man sneered. "Only they themselves can destroy them."
"Gods and demons, before heaven and earth were separated, we were one and the same."
"When the primordial chaos first appeared, the pure energy rose to the heavens, while the impure energy fell to the earth. Which do you think rose to the heavens?"
Su Chen looked at his cloudy eyes and felt like she'd seen them somewhere before, and his voice too...
"You are... that storyteller!!"
Although they look different and are different heights, their voices are exactly the same! And their eyes too!
"Hahaha... You finally found out?!" The man's hunched back slowly straightened up.
“You deliberately led me to the Endless Abyss,” Su Chen asserted, showing no surprise at the sight of him straightening his back.
“Madam is indeed clever.” The man straightened up and looked down at her.
"Where are the people who were supposed to pick me up?" Su Chen glanced around seemingly casually, then cruelly clenched her left hand and scratched her right, letting the blood drip onto the ground.
"You don't need to know that," the man smiled.
A flash of light, and the person was nowhere to be seen.
The Demon Cave was empty; it was as if Su Chen and that man had never existed.
Except for... two spots of blood on the ground.
