After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"Yes, he was beaten to death and then drowned in the river..."

"These teeth?"

“Every time I win, I take something from my enemy: an eye, a nail, a hair, a tooth. This time it’s not my victory, so I’m giving it to you.”

Zhou Yan's expression immediately changed.

Xiang Liu's temper is truly eccentric; how could a normal person like these things? However, since Lin Anru had just done something for him, he couldn't very well just throw these things away in front of her.

Zhou Yan put the box containing the teeth into his arms.

"Well, thank you."

Lin'an is like turning around.

"You're welcome. I just meant what I said."

Lin'an Ru is indifferent to helping ordinary people, but he cares a lot about his promises.

"Wait a moment."

Lin'an hadn't walked more than a few steps when Zhou Yan suddenly spoke.

Lin'an turned around curiously.

"what happened?"

Zhou Yan took a deep breath and asked again.

"If you had the chance to save a good person, under what circumstances would you choose to do so?"

Lin Anru opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

I thought you were going to confess your feelings to me.

Zhou Yan looked confused.

Lin'an is like a joyful place.

"Seeing how lecherous you were just now, I thought you liked me. I was even thinking about how to give you the most embarrassing rejection later."

Zhou Yan: "..."

"OK OK."

Zhou Yan couldn't help but sigh again. Why was Lin Anru's thought process so strange?

"Getting back to the original topic, under what circumstances would you go to save someone?"

Lin'an's eyes darted around.

"Personally, I would choose to rescue someone if it would be a lot of fun."

Zhou Yan didn't understand.

"Having fun?"

Lin'an nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, would people like us save someone just out of kindness?"

Lin'an's face contorted with rage.

"Of course, the motivation comes from what interesting things will happen after the rescue. I know a brother of mine who loves to go to various polar environments to rescue people. When he rescues people, he demands that after the victims are rescued, either his wife or his daughter will sleep with him. He gets his pleasure from watching the conflict between dignity and life on the other side."

Zhou Yan: "..."

Zhou Yan raised both hands as if surrendering.

"What if saving this good person would displease many high-ranking officials, such as the Four Divine Beasts?"

Lin'an's eyes lit up.

"Interesting. Who is this person you want to save? Take me with you, I'll go save him right now."

Zhou Yan asked in surprise.

"Aren't you afraid of offending the Four Divine Beasts?"

Lin'an laughed heartily, pointing to himself with his thumb.

"If I've ever made the Four Divine Beasts unhappy, troubled, or humiliated in this life, then I haven't lived in vain!"

Zhou Yan: "..."

That seems to make some sense.

If we can rescue Little Yama, it will make the Four Divine Beasts and those high and mighty true gods lose face, feel wronged, and angry...

It seems quite interesting.

Final Chapter: Abyss Underworld

Of course, being interested is one thing, but whether or not to actually do it is another.

When Zhou Yan was young, he was also very interested in becoming the richest man in the country, but he never worked towards that goal.

The reason is clear to everyone.

"I understand. I'll contact you again if anything comes up."

Zhou Yan nodded to Lin Anru and then closed the door.

Lin Anru's footsteps faded away behind the door.

Zhou Yan tossed the cylindrical box containing the teeth into the nearby trash can and went to sit down in his bedroom.

As soon as he sat down, Zhou Yan's mind was filled with images of the Four Divine Beasts being humiliated, feeling distressed, and angry.

Zhou Yan sat down by the bed and rubbed his forehead.

Whether it was Bai Ze's instinct or not, Zhou Yan always felt that he really wanted to revive Xiao Yanjun, but reason told him that when Zhong Dou Xingjun, this true god with 95% awakening, went to save Xiao Yanjun, he went blind.

My own has an awakening level of 25%...

wrong……

Zhou Yan closed his eyes and imagined the scene of going down into the Abyss Hell, a forbidden zone for humans.

Bai Ze's danger perception didn't tell Zhou Yan what dangers he might face; it seemed like going to the Abyss Underworld was quite safe.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Yan took out his phone and dialed Ying Zhao's number.

"Uncle Yingzhao, I want to ask you something."

"Your Excellency, ask away."

"What kind of person do you think Little Yama is?"

Yingzhao remained silent for a long time, and Zhou Yan waited for a long time. After a long while, Yingzhao spoke in a flat tone.

"If Little Yama were still alive, the world wouldn't be any worse than it is now."

Zhou Yan hung up the phone.

Zhongdou Xingjun said there would be a disaster in the future and that Xiao Yanjun would need to save him. His own instincts led him to want to get involved in this matter.

But my reason told me that this was dangerous and I should avoid it if I could.

Both are correct, yet neither is correct.

So a compromise is best.

Go to the Abyss Underworld by yourself and experience the difficulty of resurrecting Little Yama. If it's really dangerous, just follow the group and wander around the Abyss Underworld. Come back when it's done.

Zhou Yan always believed that saving others starts with saving yourself. How can you expect to save others' safety if you can't even guarantee your own?

So if something is impossible, just give up. Of course, if rescuing Little Yama isn't too much trouble, then you can give it a try.

In short, we must take it one step at a time. No plan can follow the original script; it must be adjusted according to changes in reality.

Zhou Yan clapped his hands.

So be it.

Whether or not Little Yama can be resurrected depends on the level of danger in the Abyss Underworld.

Zhou Yan took out his phone again and dialed the number of his teacher, Bai Rusu.

"Ok?"

Bai Rusu asked with some surprise after answering the phone.

"What do you want from me, little one?"

"Teacher, you said before that awakened beings from the Abyss Underworld can master their power more quickly and even obtain more immortal plants and magical artifacts."

"Yes what's the matter?"

"I want to go to the Abyss Underworld to strengthen myself there."

Bai Rusu remained silent.

Zhou Yan waited for a few minutes, growing impatient, before finally breaking the silence.

"As the Six-Eared Macaque, I might be able to find more treasures and immortal plants in the Abyss Underworld. You know, support characters are always the core of the team."

Perhaps it's for the sake of the setting. Zhou Yan has seen many works of art in the past, in which support and healers are regarded as the bottom of the hierarchy of contempt, looked down upon and ridiculed by attackers and defenders. But in the real battlefield, whether it is healing or support, they are absolutely the core of the team.

They are the type of creatures that always have several defenders with them, and can only be harmed after all the defenders are dead.

The Six-Eared Macaque is a support-type core member of the team, so Zhou Yan figured that when he went to the Abyss Underworld later, he would definitely be accompanied by several bodyguards. In addition, with the Six-Eared Macaque's excuses, Zhou Yan could visit the location where Little Yama King was resurrected a few times.

Then, if there is danger, give up; if there is no danger, let the bodyguards go first.

Even if something goes wrong and people die, it doesn't matter. When you're exploring a restricted area, it's perfectly normal for one or two people to die.

Following this line of thought, Zhou Yan believed he could most likely complete the Little Yama resurrection plan within a safe area.

"Ok."

Bai Rusu responded from the other end of the phone.

"I'll go talk to the top students at our school and see if they're free to take you. By the way, why the Abyss Underworld? Wouldn't Kunlun Immortal Palace, Penglai in the North Sea, or the Ten Thousand Miao Mountains work?"

In these forbidden zones for humans, Suzaku has sought out awakened individuals to establish permanent settlements and explore them. However, the Abyss Underworld is not the safest forbidden zone for humans within Suzaku's territory.

Zhou Yan had considered an excuse for this problem.

"Does the teacher know about the 'Di Ting' (谛听)?"

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mount? What's wrong?"

"That guy's abilities are about the same as mine. I'm wondering if I could encounter such a divine beast if I went to the Abyss Underworld. If I did, what changes would occur to me?"

"Just because of that?"

"Otherwise, since I'm going to a forbidden zone anyway, I'll naturally choose a place that's more special to me."

"Okay, Xiao Zhou, wait for my call."

A little chat

I checked the comments section and many readers were criticizing me for whitewashing capitalism because Zhong Dou Xing Jun's words were disgusting.

So in the end, didn't you see the protagonist say, "You don't treat people like human beings either?"

Zhongdou Xingjun is just spreading rumors and misleading the public. The protagonist has seen through it. Why don't you readers use your brains and see what the protagonist's attitude is?

Chapter One: The Initial Show of Force

Dark, cold, and with a putrid stench.

And the endless mountain ranges on the ground, and the ruins of human settlements.

Wearing a black trench coat, Tongzhen, who still looked quite young, stood on a mountaintop. Her gaze swept over the dark peaks, and every time she saw a few peaks, her delicate face would twitch.

Footsteps came from behind and then moved to Tongzhen's side. Tongzhen didn't look at the person next to her, but just asked.

"Yang Xu, did the second team return today?"

Yang Xu, the bespectacled man next to him, shook his head.
