Chapter 216 The Old Scoundrel's Survival Philosophy

Bai Ze patted Kai Ming on the shoulder, then strolled forward, exuding a carefree air. Kai Ming seemed to belatedly realize something and couldn't help but erupt in anger, "What do you mean by that? What do you mean by saying only this way can you trust me? Are you implying that you suspect me?"

"Suspect that because of Jue, I would sabotage this Xian, directly putting her into a deep sleep for several millennia until the cooked rice has turned to ash, and then even if she's filled with regret and anger, it'll be too late? So she can only give up and live a life of painful loneliness because she's been married and has children for thousands of years, with deep affection as husband and wife, so even if she wants to do something, Wei Yuan wouldn't agree, and neither would Zhu Jiuyin? You even think that solving this problem would earn me Zhu Jiuyin's approval?!"

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

Kai Ming was furious.

Bai Ze yawned and rubbed his eyes.

His signature颓废 (tuifei -颓废, decadent, dispirited) style reappeared.

"I'm not saying you *are* that kind of person."

"But do you want to hear what you just said?"

Kai Ming looked strange.

"Wait, this, this…"

Bai Ze curled his lip and said, "You're Kai Ming of the Nine Heads. No matter what, you have at least nine aspects. Like I said before, kids who are let out for too long will become wild. What do you think your ‘aspect consciousnesses’ will be like? There's definitely one that's radical."

"I need to confirm that you're not in that state."

Bai Ze reached out to smooth his hair.

White hair fell to his shoulders, red eyes like the setting sun, his face languid.

In fact, after Bai Ze tried hard to rally himself...

He quickly began to regret it.

Like an otaku who's made plans to go on a trip with friends.

This feeling of regret rose like a flame, quickly engulfing Bai Ze, turning him completely颓废 (tuifei) again, filled with a dispirited aura. He returned to his white-haired, red-eyed,颓废 (tuifei) appearance, then yawned, spread his arms, and the museum-at-home attire transformed into a long blue scholar's robe.

Blue robe, white hair, red eyes,气质 (qizhi - temperament, aura)頹廢 (tuifei) but handsome.

Gentle features.

Although his body was limp and boneless, his posture was terrible, and his demeanor was even worse, he still gave people the feeling of clouds or white snow piled on the tips of pine trees, lazy and beautiful.

Bai Ze raised his hand to rub his neck, moved it slightly, and muttered, "Ah, it's been so long since I've worn this. I'm a little uncomfortable. It's more comfortable to wear pajamas and slippers in the museum. I don't even have a Coke. I feel like I'm on a business trip, working overtime."

Kai Ming also changed out of the Water Ghost's exclusive Happy Water Master butler uniform.

He changed into the attire that the Ancient Double Wonders should have.

Only then did the two head towards the core area carved out during the South Sea battle, the Land of Reincarnation where all living beings were qualified to reincarnate with limitations. As they walked, Kai Ming looked at the traces of primordial energy left over from the great battle. There was unparalleled, incomparably sharp sword qi tearing apart mountains and rivers, and also the traces of flames that seemed to be able to burn everything, and said:

"...However, I'm still very curious, and there are still some doubts."

"Since you know the great calamity is coming, then why go to such lengths to help Wei Yuan, that kid, forge a sword?"

"Since you have the time and effort, wouldn't it be better for you to find various opportunities to improve your own cultivation? Or rather, save that energy to find a good sword or a top-tier divine weapon for yourself? Isn't that also a method?"

Bai Ze scoffed at Kai Ming's idea.

"Hmph, that's the biggest difference between you and me."

The beautiful being in the blue robe and white hair, with eyes like red jade, strolled along and said, "The great calamity of heaven and earth surges like a spring. It's not something you can get through just because you think you can. Perhaps you can get through the first strike, the second strike, but what about after that? You must know that the descriptions of the great calamity have always been 'utter destruction'."

"And when faced with the great calamity, some people strengthen themselves, temper their souls, and hone their bodies. What they seek is that even if heaven and earth are reduced to ashes in this unprecedented calamity and no longer exist, they can still preserve themselves, so that when heaven and earth are destroyed, I will not be destroyed, and when all living beings die, I will not die."

"At least, Old Buzhou Mountain follows that path."

"And some, although they have the foundation of strength, fear the coming of the great calamity and are unwilling to bear the karma of resisting it."

"Unwilling to stand in front and resist the calamity."

"That was the Great Ze Thunder God back then, who clearly had enough foundation and the strongest understanding of Taoism."

"But for this reason, he deliberately restrained his realm, preferring not to have the Dao fruit, seeking a peaceful and stable longevity."

Bai Ze judges the heroes of the world. jpg.

But it must be said that at least Kai Ming thought that what this guy said made some sense.

He then said, "But what does this have to do with you not forging a sword for yourself, but forging one for Wei Yuan, that kid?"

"Are you planning to take the path of the Great Ze Dragon God?"

"Hmph, naive!"

Bai Ze became increasingly regretful of Kai Ming's 'stupidity', shaking his head repeatedly, saying:

"The path of the Great Ze Thunder God, although it avoids the great calamity and does not require a strongman of the Dao Fruit realm to charge in the forefront of the great calamity, is nothing more than an escape. Facing the great calamity, he doesn't do anything at all, drinking and making merry all day long, unaware that the calamity is approaching. I disdain such behavior."

Such ambition made Kai Ming sigh in admiration.

He was thinking, could it be that his old friend, after so many years, had such lofty aspirations?

Before he could speak, he saw Bai Ze puff out his chest and say, "So, facing the great calamity, we certainly can't do nothing and just wait for the calamity to arrive. Therefore, we must find a super invincible thick golden thigh! Then, strengthen this golden thigh to 18+! Finally, make it so thick that it crushes the great calamity with one kick, so that I can be safe and worry-free?!"

Bai Ze's philosophy of survival!

Hug a thick thigh!

When a sage is born, Bai Ze arrives!

This is a survival philosophy directly recorded by the human race!

In the eyes of the humans of that era, Bai Ze hugging a thick thigh was simply something that could be called a natural law!

Kai Ming was speechless.

Bai Ze rambled on, "Although the great calamity is coming, there are at least two who might be able to break this calamity, um, now there are three, plus Old Buzhou Mountain. Di Jun won't do, that guy is of a pure and aloof nature, values the constancy of the Heavenly Dao, and is not a good thick thigh at all."

"Or rather, the Heavenly Emperor's personality is that whether you praise him or scold him."

"Or even if you ignore him directly, Di Jun's attitude towards you will not change."

"He won't treat you any differently just because you praise him."

"Nor will he give you trouble because you constantly curse him. Although that is the case, he is really the least suitable strongman to be a golden thigh."

Bai Ze sighed regretfully, and then said, "As for Old Buzhou Mountain, he has a good personality, and is unrestrained and forthright."

"And he's very protective of his own. As long as you're friends, he'll definitely help you."

"But unfortunately."

"It's too bad, this person is really a 马大哈 (mada ha - scatterbrain, careless person)乐子人 (le zire - someone who likes to watch or create drama/chaos) like Su Hu. He himself can lie down while watching the drama, let alone someone who treats him as a thigh? Moreover, Buzhou Mountain has an indestructible body. Even if he encounters a major disaster, he will at most faint, and it is difficult to die completely."

"My little body doesn't have that ability."/

"Maybe for Buzhou Mountain, it's just a sneeze, and I'm gone, so, no, no!"

Bai Ze shook his head repeatedly.

As if he had already seen himself hugging Buzhou Mountain's thigh.

The great calamity came.

Buzhou Mountain was fine.

But he himself was lying down.

The corners of Bai Ze's mouth twitched, and he said, "So, all things considered, Wei Yuan is the most likely and the most suitable to be a thigh. Moreover, he's a little closer. Therefore, I had no choice but to choose him. Besides, if I forge this Earth Sword Reincarnation for him, he should also be grateful, ahem, I mean, I can have a good retirement life with food, drink, and games in the museum."

Worthy of you!

Kai Ming was speechless, and then said, "However, you are looking for this sword."

"The purpose is to gather enough of the foundation for Wei Yuan's sword array, so that he can cross the calamity and successfully return to participate in the engagement with Jue."

"But this sword has to be offered by the Azure-Clad Dragon Girl Xian to be forged."

"Bai Ze, ah, Bai Ze, don't you think this is not very appropriate?"

"This is a matter of life and death. Do you still care about such things?"

Bai Ze curled his lip and said, "It's appropriate, extremely appropriate. We can just ask, 'Great Master of Zhongshan and Chishui, Azure-Clad Dragon Girl Xian, you don't want Primordial Heavenly Lord Wei Yuan to die in the turbid world, do you?' Well, after saying this, Dragon Girl Xian will definitely be willing to help forge the sword."

Kai Ming felt that he really wanted to kick Bai Ze into the Nine Heavens Gate to open a blind box on his head.

Get a grip, Bai Ze!

In the midst of the idle chatter, they had already arrived at the most core of the South Sea, and saw that incomparably deep crack.

Layers of clouds and mist rose up.

Transforming into countless extremely profound seals, and an extremely powerful aura rose up, deriving the changes of reincarnation between life and death, similar to the Nine Netherworlds, but not exactly the same as the Nine Netherworlds. It seemed to be opening up a new aspect on the original foundation of the Nine Netherworlds, re-opening the mysteries of self-death to rebirth, change and reincarnation.

"This is... Zhu Jiuyin's handiwork."

"It seems that he hasn't been doing nothing as the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds in these past few thousand years. He has also figured out a lot of new things. However, I didn't expect that he didn't immediately apply these new laws and changes to his own Nine Netherworlds, but instead used them in the South Sea, used them on Dragon Girl Xian here..."

"Zhu Jiuyin, ah, Zhu Jiuyin."

"You and Fu Xi actually have something to talk about, right?"

Bai Ze laughed to himself, and then said loudly: "I am the Grand Priest of the Yan Huang lineage of the Human Race, Bai Ze under Emperor Xuanyuan, and I am here to request an audience with the Azure-Clad Dragon Girl." His voice spread far away, but the clouds and mist in this crack changed and flowed, and the artistic conception of life and death reincarnation was also extremely strong. There was no reaction at all, which showed that the Azure-Clad Dragon Girl Xian was simply unwilling to pay attention to him.

Bai Ze was a little embarrassed.

Kai Ming glanced at him disdainfully, and squeezed him away, meaning to get out of the way and let him do it.

Then, his voice was clear and melodious, saying: "Kunlun is visiting the South Sea, please come out and meet us!"

The voice was long and far-reaching, tearing apart the clouds and the sea.

Then, not only did it not open the road to this land of life and death reincarnation, but it also sealed it even more tightly.

Kai Ming's smile froze instantly.

Bai Ze scoffed, and finally thought for a while, and said, "Museum Bai Ze, and Museum Happy Water Master Water Ghost."

"We're here for something. Curator Wei is in a little trouble. Can you help him?"

The clouds still did not change, and the aura and artistic conception of life and death reincarnation completely enveloped the entire South Sea area, deep and silent, as if it were the place that the living should stay away from and revere the most. Just when Kai Ming was a little disappointed, he sensed something in advance and turned his eyes slightly.

Light azure thin-soled embroidered shoes stepped on the ground.

She actually appeared!

Her voice was cold and peaceful: "He... what's wrong?"
