"You'd better not think like that. I won't allow you to do anything that goes against your own conscience. You obviously don't want to be a bad person, so why do you force yourself to do bad things for the sake of others? This is not like you at all. You have supreme power and can do whatever you want, including being yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, and I don't think your mistake is irreparable. I have seen the future of this town. In a hundred years, a great monarch will appear here and completely overthrow the brutal rule. The people here will live a happy life, and their descendants will never be troubled by war again. You can leave with peace of mind."

After listening to Raymond's explanation, Zhang Hao finally felt better and decided to leave with Xiao Qiao.

"Little girl, do you want to come with me?"

Although Zhang Hao has taught Xiao Qiao a lot in the past two months, she still has a long way to go and is not yet at the level where she can stand on her own.

Zhang Hao thought that Xiao Qiao would definitely go with him because of her clingy personality. But unexpectedly, Xiao Qiao seemed to understand something and shook her head.

"Master, as long as you plan to go anywhere on this continent, I am willing to follow you. But if you plan to go back to the East, I may not be able to accompany you. The world in the East does not belong to me. If I go there, not only will I not be able to help you, I may even cause trouble for you. This is my world. Although the world is big, I can go anywhere, but I can't really follow you to the East."

Although Xiao Qiao was young, she understood some truths very well. She knew very well that people should stay in the right place.

She thought to herself that if she really went to the East, everyone there would surely be very skilled, and she might not be able to help her master in any way.

Besides, she is a person of this world. All those who love her and those who hate her are in this world.

At the most desperate and difficult time in her life, she met a master who could save her life. This was already a great fortune. Since she had this fortune, she should not hold it tightly in her hand.

A good person like Master should go out into the wider world to explore the world instead of staying by her side all his life.

Nowadays, although she has not yet mastered the skills of Feng Shui, she has no problem handling some simple commissions.

Even without the protection of her master, she will be able to hone her abilities step by step.

Seeing Xiao Qiao's determined face, Zhang Hao didn't say anything more. If Xiao Qiao really wanted to stay here, it was her own choice.

Moreover, when Xiao Qiao made this decision, her eyes were so determined that Zhang Hao felt as if he was seeing his former self.

Zhang Hao felt a great sense of accomplishment for teaching his apprentice so well. At least, he would have fewer regrets when he left.

"Master is very pleased to see that you can now stand on your own. If you encounter any problems in the future, just talk to this thing. I can hear your voice and will help you. If you really encounter any difficulties, don't force yourself. No matter what I do, I will definitely rush to your side."

Zhang Hao said as he handed his sword to Xiao Qiao. The little girl looked at it and took it. She didn't know if the sword would be useful in the future, but for her, it was indeed a precious thought.

At such a young age, I met a noble person who could change my life. This is not an experience that everyone can have.

Xiao Qiao felt that her first half of life was very hard, as her family members left one after another, leaving her alone. But now, she has grown into an adult who can stand on her own, and her master can rest assured when he leaves. This is the best ending.

Xiao Qiao watched Zhang Hao's body gradually become transparent, and finally completely disappeared from her sight. A trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.

She really wanted to ask her master to stay, at least to let him stay with her for two more days.

But she couldn't say these words after all. Everyone has his own way to go in life, and she couldn't block the master's way just because of her childishness. The master still had to go out into the wider world.

When Zhang Hao left, he was actually suppressing his emotions. He really regarded Xiao Qiao as his family, not just an apprentice. He didn't know whether Xiao Qiao's future life would be smooth, but the sword could at least help Xiao Qiao at a critical moment.

That sword might even make Xiao Qiao's fate a little better.

Even if I can't be with Xiao Qiao to help her in the future, at least I can still think of her in my heart. When she encounters difficulties, I can also give her some response.

Zhang Hao returned to his inn, and the others were still waiting in the inn. Fatty Wang was surprised to see Zhang Hao coming back.

But he didn't say anything much. He just smiled, patted Zhang Hao's shoulder, said he would go cook, and then went straight into the kitchen and didn't come out for two or three hours.

There was a noisy sound coming from the kitchen, and I didn’t know whether Fatty Wang was cooking or “fighting” in there.

But this long-lost voice brought a little psychological comfort to Zhang Hao. At least, he would no longer be afraid, nor would he escape.

Zhang Qilin was sitting in the middle of the yard, resting his eyes. Hearing the news that Zhang Hao had returned, he didn't say much, but just nodded slightly, and then closed his eyes again.

Han Shan no longer stayed in the underworld to help the people there. He rushed back immediately after receiving the news.

After seeing Zhang Hao, she was the most enthusiastic one and rushed up to give Zhang Hao a big hug.

Then, she broke down and ran into the kitchen crying, saying that she was going to help Fatty Wang in the kitchen. But the kitchen seemed to have become even more chaotic, with the clanging of pots and pans and the sound of a childish cry.

Hao Xie was lying in the room upstairs to rest. Even though Zhang Hao had returned, he had not gotten out of bed.

His physical condition was so bad that he couldn't get out of bed. After so long since he came back, his cancer had not been cured and was now in its advanced stage, with no cure.

Earlier, his family had planned to come and pick him up, but Hao Xie insisted on waiting for that person to come back.

He thought that he should at least wait until that person came back and looked happy when he saw him, so that he could leave this world with satisfaction and no regrets.

Even if by then, I might not be able to move, but at least I'm still conscious.

During the meal, Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin went upstairs to help Hao Xie down, and they sat around the dining table as they did before.

However, this time, everyone remained silent. Many problems stood in front of them, and they could no longer overcome them. Hao Xie's illness was one of them.

Hao Xie’s illness could be hidden from others at first, but now it can no longer be hidden.

His hair fell out in clumps, and his mental state deteriorated day by day, becoming more and more haggard. Fatty Wang never showed his emotions on his face, but seeing Hao Xie's increasingly weak appearance, his heart was filled with heartache, and he could only hide in the kitchen and secretly wipe away his tears every day.

This is why his cooking skills have improved so much recently. The sound of cooking in the kitchen can just cover up the sound of his sobbing.

Zhang Qilin no longer left. No matter what happened, he stayed in the yard and stayed in a position where Hao Xie could see him at any time.

Several people waited for Zhang Hao's return tacitly. They knew where Zhang Hao had gone, because a mysterious voice in their hearts had talked to them. Although they didn't know who that person was, they learned that his name was Raymond, and he was now the king of all worlds.

Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin did not enter the tower, so they did not understand what "King of all worlds" meant.

They also didn't know about the existence of parallel worlds. They only knew that after Hao Xie and Zhang Hao returned from their long journey, one of them was diagnosed with a terminal illness that was incurable; the other one even disappeared for several months without any news.

I thought Hao Xie would never be able to wait for Zhang Hao until his death, but fortunately, Zhang Hao finally came back.

During this meal, everyone ate in silence, just drinking silently. Even when Hao Xie was drinking, no one stopped him. Perhaps this was their last meal together, so let him drink to his heart's content.

After the people from the Wu family received the news, they rushed over immediately and prepared to take Hao Xie away.

Originally they didn't want Hao Xie to drink, but when they saw the looks on their faces, they realized that this silent meal was their final farewell to each other, so they all stood by silently and didn't say anything to stop them.

After dinner, Hao Xie said he was a little tired and wanted to go to the car outside to sleep for a while, while another person went upstairs to pack Hao Xie's luggage. Perhaps after this departure, Hao Xie would never come back.

Zhang Hao was not afraid of life and death, he knew that even if Hao Xie passed away, they might still meet in another world. But by then, Hao Xie would be dead, no longer having a living body and everything, only a soul.

The world he lives in will be completely cut off from the world his family and friends live in. In the end, he will be left with nothing but a heart full of sadness.

Zhang Hao couldn't accept his own incompetence, so he locked himself in the room and didn't go out for several days.

During this period, Fatty Wang and Zhang Qilin also left one after another. When they left, they came to Zhang Hao's door, knocked gently, and whispered their final goodbyes, but they did not meet Zhang Hao.

They all knew that once they met, their emotions would be difficult to control and the situation would get out of control.

But even so, they must insist on saying goodbye to each other.

Because they don't know when they will meet again after this separation. Maybe they will have to go to the underworld to meet again, but by then, will they still be the same?
Perhaps everything has changed, only the name and the memory remain unchanged.

They will no longer be able to work together to play the game, drive corpses, complete orders for customers, or sit around the dining table drinking as they did before. All of these will become a thing of the past.

Zhang Hao still couldn't accept all this. On the fifth day, Han Shan finally couldn't stand it anymore, broke into the room and sat down beside Zhang Hao's bed.

"Do you know what I was thinking about during the time you were away?"

"What on earth are you thinking about?"

"I think about it every day. What should I do if you never come back? Do I really have to use up all my luck and pray to God, hoping that someone will hear my call and send me to you no matter where you are?"

After hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately understood why Han San appeared inexplicably.

In that tower, and even before that, Han Shan tried his best, exhausted all his luck, and even sacrificed his memories in order to be by Zhang Hao's side.

He had no other choice but to appear in front of Zhang Hao in that manner.

They couldn't recognize each other, and Han Shan, who was in a state of amnesia, might not even know what he was obsessed with. But Han Shan still did it, and no matter how great the difficulties were, he couldn't be defeated.

Zhang Hao is not an emotional person. He always thinks that nothing in this world can really knock him down. But the things he has experienced recently are really beyond his psychological endurance limit.

Since Layton's death, Zhang Hao's mentality has become worse and worse.

He began to feel bored with everything in this world, and even thought that it would be great if he could go back to that ignorant world where he had no concept of life and death.

If someone said this, Zhang Hao might confidently retort: ​​"You are being superstitious!"

But unfortunately, there is no way back. After coming to this world, Zhang Hao tried various methods, but failed to return to his original world. Now it is naturally impossible.

At this moment, Raymond's voice suddenly sounded in Zhang Hao's ears.

"If you really want to go back to the world where you were born, I can help you. Your world is also under my jurisdiction. It is the most backward yet purest world. After you go back, your strength may be greatly reduced. This is what I took the initiative to seal for you. I am afraid that something might happen to you there. However, you may be able to live day by day in an ordinary way and return to the peaceful life you had before."

Zhang Hao was immediately excited when he heard this. Isn't this the opportunity he has always dreamed of, to return to his original life trajectory?

After coming here, everything about him changed, including the way he dealt with others and the way he interacted with others. If he could return to his original world, perhaps everything would be able to turn around.

"Han San, I should have told you before that I am not from this world, right? I come from a very far away place, and that world is not at the same level as here. It is very backward over there, and they are very taboo about things like life and death. You probably can't even mention them casually on the street."

"But even so, I still want to go home, back to the home where I was still a simple person. I don't know when I will come back, maybe I will never come back. Will you come with me?"

Zhang Hao thought Han Shan would at least hesitate for a moment, but he didn't expect him to agree without hesitation and said that he would follow him wherever he went.

"You are everything to me. Everything I do now is for you. I tell you this not because I want you to do anything to me, but because I want to tell you that no matter where you go, you must take me with you. I can be your friend, your family, and your partner. If you are tired of something, at least you can confidently say that I still have a place to go, and I still have a friend waiting for me in the simplest place." (End of this chapter)
