Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Zhu Di was stunned and found it difficult to digest this information for a while.

It took a long time before he came back to his senses.

"So what about now? Will time and space collapse again?"

Chu Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head, with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

"Although the strange beast has been suppressed, the scars of time and space still exist."

"unless."

Having said this, Chu Ze suddenly stopped, as if hesitating about something.

Seeing this, Zhu Di quickly asked: "Unless what?"

Chu Ze took a deep breath and said slowly: "Unless I completely disappear from this time and space."

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this and stood up suddenly.

"How is this possible?!"

"I will never allow this! I still need your assistance to create a prosperous world together!"

Chu Ze smiled bitterly, his expression gloomy.

"Your Majesty, I think the same thing in my heart."

"It's just that this concerns the safety of the entire space and time, and I have no choice."

As he spoke, Chu Ze looked down at the jade seal in his hand.

The jade seal is shiny and warm, emitting a faint light.

It seemed to be responding to Chu Ze's feelings and giving him silent encouragement.

Chu Ze's heart moved, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan."

"I wonder if Your Majesty would be willing to listen to me?"

Zhu Di was overjoyed and nodded quickly: "Just say it!"

Chu Ze took a deep breath and said slowly: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of "Tui Bei Tu"? "

Zhu Di was stunned when he heard this, and then he suddenly realized.

"The Tui Bei Tu is a mysterious prophecy, and I have heard a little about it."

"But the prophecy is obscure and difficult to understand. No one has ever been able to comprehend it."

"My dear minister, when you mentioned this, could it be..."

Chu Ze nodded, his eyes firm.

"That's right. I looked up ancient books and found a prophecy about this in the Tui Bei Tu."

"The prophecy says that a 'time traveler' will appear in the Ming Dynasty and help the Ming Dynasty achieve a century of prosperity."

"But this person must eventually return to his own time and space, and only then can the fate of the Ming Dynasty continue."

Zhu Di was dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he murmured, "Could it be that all this was already predetermined?"

Chu Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"I don't know. Perhaps there is a will of heaven."

As he spoke, Chu Ze looked at the jade seal in his hand with a complicated look.

"This jade seal is the key to the Ming Dynasty's national destiny. Your Majesty must keep it well."

"As for me"

Chu Ze changed the subject and his tone became firm.

"I have stayed in this time and space long enough. It is time to go back."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"My dear, are you really going to leave?"

Chu Ze nodded, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"This is for the Ming Dynasty, for this time and space."

"Your Majesty, please promise me that you will protect the Ming Dynasty and live up to my efforts."

Zhu Di nodded heavily, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"I promise you."

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden noise outside the tent.

"Your Majesty! General Chu! Something happened!"

A panicked voice was heard, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Zhu Di and Chu Ze looked at each other and were both shocked.

"Why are you so panicked?" Zhu Di asked loudly.

The person who came in was a personal guard, looking panicked.

"Your Majesty, we just discovered a group of masked men sneaking into the military camp."

"I don't know what evil tricks they used to disappear without a trace!"

"I suspect they are coming for General Chu!"

Zhu Di became furious upon hearing this and slammed the table.

"Asshole! How dare you act wildly under my nose!"

"Come here, search for me! We must find those assassins!"

The guards took the order and left, and peace returned to the tent.

Zhu Di turned to look at Chu Ze with a complicated look.

"My dear, are you okay?"

Chu Ze shook his head, his face a little pale.

"I'm fine. It's just..." Chu Ze's legs suddenly went weak halfway through his words and he almost fell.

Zhu Di hurried forward to support him, only to find that Chu Ze's palms were full of cold sweat.

"My dear! What's wrong with you?"

Chu Ze gave a bitter smile and managed to keep his body steady.

"It seems that those assassins are coming for the space-time rift."

"The space-time turbulence in my body is getting worse, I'm afraid."

When Chu Ze said this, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

Zhu Di was shocked and quickly helped Chu Ze to the couch.

"Someone! Call the imperial physician!"

Fang Arong was also extremely anxious when she saw this.

She hurried forward and held her husband's hand, her vision blurred by tears.

"Husband! You hold on!"

Chu Ze forced himself to open his eyes and saw his wife's tearful face.

I couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in my heart and raised my hand to gently wipe away her tears.

"Arong, don't cry."

"I'll be fine."

"But." Fang Arong choked up, "The imperial physician said your condition is not optimistic."

"The turbulence of time and space is eroding your vitality. If this continues,

Having said this, Fang Arong could no longer control herself and burst into tears.

Chu Ze felt a pain in his heart and sat up while enduring the pain.

"Arong, listen to me."

"I must return to my own time and space. Only in this way can the rift be completely repaired."

"But if this happens, I'm afraid you and I will never see each other again."

Fang Arong cried even more sadly when she heard this.

"I don't want to! I don't want to be separated from you!"

"How am I supposed to live without you?"

Chu Ze sighed, feeling extremely sad.

He simply couldn't bear to leave his beloved wife like this.

But since this concerns the survival of the entire space and time, how can he only care about his own happiness?
At this moment, Zhu Di suddenly spoke.

"My dear, is this your decision?"

"Yes, I have decided."

"For this time and space, for the future of Ming Dynasty, I will do anything for you."

Zhu Di was silent for a long time, and suddenly he sighed.

"Forget it, I can't force you to stay any longer."

"But I have a favor to ask of you, would you be willing to grant my request?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze bowed quickly.

"Your Majesty, please feel free to speak. I am all ears."

Zhu Di said slowly: "You and I are brothers, I don't want you to leave quietly like this."

"How about letting me host a grand farewell banquet for you?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Ze was stunned at first, then he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I cannot bear this responsibility."

"I am just a commoner. How can I deserve your majesty to value me so much?"

Zhu Di did not allow any doubt and slammed the table.

"It doesn't matter! If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it!"

"Besides, you have made such great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. How can I let you leave without knowing the reason?"

"I must hold this farewell banquet! My dear, please don't refuse!"

Seeing this, Chu Ze knew that Zhu Di had made up his mind, so he could only smile bitterly and nod in agreement.

"Your Majesty, I would be disrespectful to refuse such a generous gesture."

Having said this, Chu Ze suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something.

"What? Do you have any other requests?" Zhu Di asked hurriedly.

Chu Ze shook his head, a complicated smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to promise me one last thing."

"Just say it." Zhu Di said seriously.

Chu Ze took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, please announce at the farewell banquet that I will be granted civilian status."

Zhu Di was shocked when he heard this and looked at Chu Ze in amazement.

"What does this mean? My dear minister, do you no longer want to be a Ming official?"

Chu Ze smiled bitterly and shook his head slowly.

"No. I have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty throughout my life, and I will die with no regrets."

Chu Ze looked at Fang Arong and the baby in her belly, and his eyes became extremely gentle.

"I can't bear to leave my wife and children, and I am even more worried."

"If I were an imperial envoy, I would be in endless trouble for my wife and children if I left."

"It would be better for me to return to being a commoner and escape unscathed." (End of this chapter)
