Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

"Young man, I see that you have extraordinary bones and must be a martial arts prodigy, one in a million."

"Do you want to save the world?"

"Hehe, look who I brought here! A representative of the gods!"

"Hey kid, watch closely, this's going to be a really cool slash!"

"No, no, that's not how you use the 'Burning Life and Flashing Moon' technique. The order in which your spiritual energy flows is wrong."

"Hmm~ You've learned well, but you're still not as handsome as me."

"Not as handsome as me."

"Not as cool as my slash."

"It's still not quite there."

"......."

As Zhao Kongcheng's figure gradually disappeared before his eyes, these memories flooded into Lin Ze's mind like a tide.

He had the most contact with Zhao Kongcheng on his own stage.

There, Zhao Kongcheng completely taught Lin Ze his [Min Sheng Shan Yue] technique.

However, Lao Zhao is also a person who cares about his reputation, no matter how well Lin Ze does.

Old Zhao always stubbornly insists, "No one is as handsome as me."

Lin Ze didn't argue with him about it, because in Lin Ze's mind, Zhao Kongcheng's slash was really cool.

Just then, Zhao Kongcheng came up to Lin Ze, patted him on the shoulder, and said,

"Kid, I'm leaving soon."

"I want to say one last thing to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Ze instantly perked up.

If nothing unexpected happens, this should be his last conversation with Lao Zhao.

At this moment, Zhao Kongcheng gave a thumbs up and said with a bright smile,

"That was a cool slash."

"He's even more handsome than me!"

After saying that, Zhao Kongcheng turned and left.

No matter how Lin Ze called out, he remained unmoved.

These words completely brought tears to Lin Ze's eyes.

His tears flowed uncontrollably.

His vision began to blur with tears, and the figure of Zhao Kongcheng in front of him also began to blur.

Lin Ze thought it was because of his tears. He wiped them away and found that Zhao Kongcheng had already left him.

Looking down at the Star Blade in his hand, engraved with the three characters "Zhao Kongcheng," and feeling the [Ming Sheng Shan Yue] that was in harmony with him, Lin Ze had a fantasy.

Old Zhao has left.

But it seems that he lives on forever by Lin Ze's side in some way.

When he is again swayed by his emotions and makes the wrong choice, he will scold him.

When he accomplishes something significant, he won't hesitate to praise him and will give him a thumbs up, just like when they parted.

At this moment, Lin Ze finally understood a sentence.

Some people are alive, but they are already dead.

Some people are dead, but they still live on.

Just then, the change in his mental energy pulled Lin Ze back to reality.

"Hmm? My cultivation level is starting to decline."

"We're about to fall below Sichuan border."

"Peak of the Pool Realm, High-Level Pool Realm, Mid-Level Pool Realm, Beginner Pool Realm..."

"It's not easy to hold on for so long."

At this moment, Lin Ze still hadn't deactivated the Black King state.

He worried that the Church of the Ancient Gods might still have a backup plan.

But even if they really had a backup plan, they wouldn't have any mental strength left to fight against it.

If no one comes to their aid, there is only one outcome awaiting them.

dead.

And they will die a very horrible death.

After confirming that the area was safe, Lin Ze finally broke free from the Black King's already collapsed state.

Previously, Lin Ze had used [Muscle Reconstruction] and [Black King Annihilation] to significantly increase his defense.

At that time, Lin Ze was already seriously injured.

Now that these conditions have been lifted, he has gone from being seriously injured to being on the verge of death.

There wasn't a single good spot on his body.

Lin Ze staggered toward Lin Qiye, and Lin Qiye also dragged his half-crippled body toward Lin Ze.

After the two met, Lin Ze immediately collapsed into Lin Qiye's arms.

Lin Qiye wanted to hug him, but his hands were suspended in the air and he didn't know where to start.

Lin Ze's body was covered in sores that he was afraid that if he made a move, he would hurt him even more.

Actually, Lin Qiye didn't need to feel sorry for Lin Ze, because his situation wasn't good either, just a little better than Lin Ze's.

In the snow, the two huddled together to ward off the winter chill.

It looks like a heartwarming scene, but if you look closely, you'll find...

Even if you put the two of them together, you couldn't make a complete body.

Lin Ze fell into a deep sleep.

In Lin Qiye's arms.

Meanwhile, Lin Ze was unaware that a familiar voice was calling out to him incessantly from inside the stage.
