The reason why Chi You's behavior is considered clownish is because the information gap meant that Chi You of this era was completely unaware of the future Heavenly Dao's plans and the truth of the world's rules.

He might have naively believed that after the separation of heaven and earth, there were no gods in the lower realm who could compare to him...

So he did not leave.

And he felt that as long as he recovered...

Then Chi You would surely be able to control the lower realm.

But what is the reality? It is true that there was no god in the mortal realm after the separation of heaven and earth.

However, there were three emperors who lived in harmony with the heavens and lived as long as the heavens, and who inevitably wielded the many powers and authority bestowed upon them by the heavens. After they grew up, they became many times more powerful than him.

There was even a "Goddess Nuwa" who slipped through the net...

In such a future era, even if Chi You were to recover to his peak strength, he would only be crushed.

That's why...

Therefore, in He Li's view, Chi You, the military lord who made a mistake by believing the false information of these later propagators of the law, was simply acting like a clown.

And those who later spread the Dharma and sought Chi You's help...

That's the clown among clowns.

Having already figured out the circumstances of those who spread the Dharma in later generations and the fate of Chi You, the warlord...

He Li lost all interest in arguing.

He waved his hand to interrupt Du Ji, who was about to say something: "I have absolutely no interest in your plans."

Huh? Upon hearing He Li's words, Du Ji, who was in the middle of a lively conversation and assumed that He Li would agree to cooperate, was suddenly stunned and seemed not to have reacted yet.

Until He Li turned to leave...

He snapped out of his daze and quickly stopped him, saying, "Wait!"

Appearing in front of He Li in a flash, Du Ji stopped He Li from leaving and spoke again: "Aren't you really going to reconsider? Changing the future would benefit both of us."

"And not just to you and me..."

"Given the current situation in the future, a war between the upper and middle realms and the lower realm is almost inevitable."

"The casualties will be incalculable at that time."

"Changing the future isn't just about you and me."

"This is also for...saving the world!"

"We are both human, can you really bear to see the three realms fighting and human blood flowing like rivers? Can you bear to see humanity decline from this point onward..."

"How could you be so heartless!" Before he could finish speaking, He Li coldly uttered two words that left Du Ji dumbfounded.

"You..." He stared blankly at He Li.

After a long pause, he couldn't help but press, "Don't you have even the slightest sense of righteousness towards humanity?"

What will happen if we don't change the future?

"You and I both know this perfectly well."

"Do you really want to see the humans of the lower realm die before your eyes because of your impulsive and reckless actions? What if the people of the lower realm knew you could change the future and yet did nothing about it..."

"What will they think of you?"

"How do you see it?" He Li sneered.

What do other people's opinions have to do with me?

"I will kill those who are hostile to me, and those who hate me are simply blind; why should I care about them? Those who think I'm wrong are not on the same page and have nothing to do with me."

Why should I care about what others think?

"As for the greater good of humanity? I do have it, so I will live well and continue the human bloodline."

"Do you have any other questions?"

No, you're completely unreasonable, aren't you?

And then they asked me what my problem was?

That's a huge problem. Du Ji had never met anyone as unabashedly selfish as He Li, so much so that he couldn't find anything to refute him.

This made him blush, and he could no longer maintain his outwardly gentle and calm demeanor...

He glared fiercely at He Li.

"You are a being from the lower realms, and you are aware of our plans that require your cooperation to change the future."

"Otherwise, who knows if you'll interfere with us?"

"If you don't agree to cooperate today..."

"Then I'll stay here!!!"

As he spoke, he unleashed his inner energy, intending to force He Li and the others to agree to cooperate. However, He Li only looked at Du Ji opposite him with the same gaze one would give a fool.

Because he knew that if anyone dared to attack him, the Netherworld Envoy would definitely not stand idly by.

Sure enough, the moment Du Ji made his move...

hum! ! !

Behind He Li, a glint of light flashed in the eyes of the evil messenger, as if he were using some unknown method. Immediately afterward, He Li found that Du Ji in front of him was frozen in place.

His vital energy vanished without a trace in an instant, as if he had become an ordinary person.

However, although Du Ji was unable to move...

But he seemed to still be conscious.

This can be seen from the fear that welled up in his eyes as if he had sensed something, but at this moment he was unable to move or even speak.

He could only stand there, his face pale, staring at the Underworld Envoy of Good and Evil with terrified eyes...

Although he had seen the messenger of good and evil before, he also noticed the two dragons beside He Li.

But Du Ji didn't care.

The main problem was that the Netherworld Envoys were too powerful, and their concealment of their Qi made it impossible for Du Ji to perceive their strength. Meanwhile, the two dragons, although they hadn't concealed their Qi…

However, their strength was limited at this time.

Du Ji is not afraid.

That's why Du Ji dared to confidently run out and intercept He Li.

They even dared to turn on you directly.

But at this moment, the evil messenger simply glanced at him and sealed all his power, making Du Ji realize that he had probably kicked a hornet's nest this time.

The two strange figures behind He Li...

That's absolutely terrifying!

Du Ji became increasingly panicked, fearing that He Li would directly kill him in this era.

But to his relief, He Li didn't make any move after he was sealed off; the other party just glanced at him with a mocking and contemptuous look and left.

Until He Li and the others disappeared into the distance...

Only after the power of the letter on his body disappeared did Du Ji recover, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, his face still full of lingering fear.

At the same time, he was also a little confused...

How did He Li manage to find two such terrifying helpers when they all arrived in this era at the same time? And He Li doesn't seem like the kind of person who would be soft-hearted.

But why didn't he kill himself?

Du Ji couldn't understand these things.

But he at least knew that He Li was someone he couldn't afford to offend, and he had made up his mind to stay as far away from He Li as possible. This kind of person truly deserved to be called a ruthless person who could stand up to the Heavenly Emperor...

Even after arriving in this era... even with their strength diminished, they are not people they can easily provoke.

Just as Du Ji hurriedly returned to the settlement...

Far from Du Ji's settlement, Yu Ji glanced back in his direction, then looked at He Li: "I never imagined the Lord of War would stay in the lower realm..."

"It's actually related to them!"

"You found out?" He Li asked in return.

Yu Ji nodded: "Yes, after synchronizing with him, I roughly learned some of what was on his mind."

After pausing for a moment, Yu Ji continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the situation of Chi You, the warlord of later generations, should be different from that of Nuwa, who also left herself a contingency plan."

"He was definitely involved in the Jedi Alliance..."

"However, his participation in the Absolute Heavenly Connection was not because he wanted to leave, but because he fought with other groups of gods and collected resources to prepare for his own future plans."

"If he hadn't participated in the battle, the later warlord Chi You would certainly have been incredibly powerful."

"It's not like we need to rely on outsiders to recover..."

As she spoke, He Li nodded.

"You guessed right. All I can say is that Chi You, the God of War, was tricked by these later propagators of his teachings. But... even if we go back to the future, we still need to find Chi You."

"As you said, Chi You's continued presence must have left behind a wealth of resources in preparation for his rise to power."

"We need to find Chi You, the God of War..."

"To be precise, it's about finding the resources he left behind to strengthen ourselves and end the chaos of the afterlife as soon as possible. Anyway, Chi You definitely won't need those resources!"

Given the circumstances surrounding Chi You, the warlord, there was absolutely no chance for him to return to his peak form in later generations.

Even if He Li doesn't take the initiative to resolve the matter of Chi You, the Heavenly Way of later generations will not let Chi You off the hook.

The will of Heaven will definitely influence the other party...

They might even take the initiative to guide He Li or other powerful figures to find the still-unrecovered Chi You by "chance" and eliminate him to obtain resources.

So in the end, the warlord Chi You, who was tricked, was just a "resource package" left to the powerful figures of later generations.

He just didn't have that self-awareness.

Thinking of this, He Li shook his head again...

"Heh, I was originally planning to communicate with Nuwa again later to ask about Chi You."

"It seems we don't need it now."

As he spoke, he looked at the Envoy of Good and Evil from the Underworld.

"What did you just use?" he asked.

The evil messenger responded upon hearing this…

"Soul-fixing thoughts!"
