Chapter 118 The meaning of living

Yun Muhan then realized he was standing on a wide-open grassy field, the warm sunlight shining on him. He had overcome his inner demons, and his heart had become even more resolute and powerful.

The voice of the underworld rang out again, this time with obvious approval: "Yun Muhan, you did very well. You have proven your courage and determination. Now, you are free to choose your future."

Yun Muhan looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with hope and determination.

No matter how many challenges lie ahead, he will face them bravely, because he has found the true meaning of life—to constantly surpass himself and bravely pursue what his heart desires.

Dugu Jianling looked at Yun Muhan, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. Yun Muhan was no longer the boy who needed his protection, but a true warrior, a strongman capable of facing any challenge.

Yun Muhan turned around and bowed deeply to Youming: "Thank you, Senior Youming. You helped me find myself. Now, I will embark on a new journey to pursue my inner self."

"It's good that you can do this. This Yuanzhou is where I fell. Their humanity has long been erased. Use them as you see fit... It's the only thing I can do for you."

"Senior Youming, this is inappropriate! Yuanzhou is your hometown after all... and your compatriots are among its people!"

"Compatriots? Those who have lost their humanity, those who plotted against me, do they deserve to be called that?"

Yun Muhan: "To plot against Senior Youming? This is something that has never been recorded in the history of Yuanzhou. And that's right... To plot against someone who is desperately protecting their hometown, what a shameful thing it is, how could it be recorded?"

"It's good that you understand. There's no need to hide anything. I'm about to disappear, and you... Long Muhan, to change your destiny, you must fight against fate. Only by constantly moving forward and becoming stronger can you protect those behind you."

"I understand. I have been given a second chance at life not to prove anything to the world, but simply to seek the meaning of life. I will keep moving forward, and setbacks will never defeat me."

"Hahaha, the clouds on the horizon are easily broken, the setting sun holds no resentment, knowing the hearts of all under heaven, the soul falls to the nine gods." The aura of the netherworld completely dissipated.

This also foreshadows the fall of the powerful Netherworld, a place soon to be ravaged by death and destruction.

"You're something else, kid. You even dare to talk about being reborn. No wonder you have so many strange things about you. Tell me how you died in your previous life."

"Brother Dugu, please don't laugh at me. In my past life, I was seven parts similar to this Netherworld being."

"Oh! So, in your past life you also died from assassination and betrayal? Tell me how I died in my past life!" Dugu Jianling asked curiously.

Yun Muhan looked up at the sky and said, "I died because of my stupidity! As for you... the Dugu Poison Sword in history was wielded by Tianren Qingyou, and you were already dead then."

"Impossible. I am a sword spirit, and the most powerful artifact at that. Time alone cannot erase my existence."

"The Demon State was destroyed in the 221st year of the ancient era. It was because someone spread the news of the Sunset Altar. There were countless powerful figures in that battle... Heavenly Gentleman Qingyou, Complete Annihilation God Lord, Ghost Face Rakshasa, Blood Shadow Demon Lord, and even Demon Thousand Dao Venerable of the Demon Sealing List personally came to the scene."

Dugu Jianling: "This... isn't just for me, is it?"

"This is only what is recorded. The Complete Destroyer God Lord obtained the Universe Painting Brush, the Celestial Pure and Leisurely obtained the Dugu Poison Sword, the Demon Thousand Dao Venerable obtained the Dugu Ice Sword, the Ghost Face Rakshasa killed the Phoenix God who had not yet inherited the power, and the Blood Shadow Demon Lord's treasure was probably obtained from the Demon Continent."

Dugu Jianling: "Interesting. The Phoenix Goddess was unyielding to the death, so I personally extinguished the artifact's will. Mo Qian Daozun obtaining the Dugu Ice Sword means that the Ice Phoenix Goddess has been killed. Interesting, very interesting."
