Ch 199: The Return of the Fallen Yongle? Zhu Di Awakens His Memories!
“First, That Person may not know; don’t think of That Person as being too all-knowing… That Person still values privacy!” Fa Hai rolled his eyes. Even for a Divine Lord, recklessly prying into the privacy of others would lead to subordinates becoming disloyal.
Fa Hai understood That Person and knew she wouldn’t do something so foolish!
“Second, compared to top-tier Heroic Spirits like the Jade Emperor, I think a Heroic Spirit Awakened like Your Majesty… is even rarer and has more potential! Even if That Person knew, she’d be happy.”
Zhu Biao paused, indicating he was speechless.
The doors slammed shut.
Countless thoughts collided in Chu Mo’s mind. In the end, he looked at the two before him without any emotional fluctuation, “So, what do you want me to do in private…?”
“That’s of course…” The Third Holy Mother opened her mouth, suddenly falling silent, a dazed look appearing in her eyes. Yes, what could she do meeting with the person before her…
Anya gave the Third Holy Mother a strange look. Seeing her so excited earlier, she had been thinking whether this one would pounce on Chu Mo directly, or just snatch Chu Mo away, return to Mount Hua, and lock him in the basement… But now it seemed.
Tsk tsk, she was completely losing it!
“And you?” Then, Anya saw Chu Mo’s death stare.
“…Of course, I’m worried about you! What else? You don’t think I’d be pursuing you, do you?” Anya pouted.
“That’s right, I can pursue you!” The Third Holy Mother suddenly realized.
Chu Mo: “…”
Anya: “…?”
With a dark face, Anya instantly grabbed the Third Holy Mother’s wrist, forcibly dragging her toward the door.
“Why are you so agitated! Snake demon.” The Third Holy Mother was very dissatisfied. If it were the Third Holy Mother from history, she naturally wouldn’t dare to treat the Empress White Maiden with such an attitude, but what era was this?
Although White Maiden had completed a Heroic Spirit transformation, her strength was beyond imagination, but she was only at the peak of the Immortal Lord realm, barely possessing the power to touch the next realm using the advantages of a Heroic Spirit. Compared to her, who was truly established in that realm, she was far behind!
“You’re committing a crime, how old are you? Trying to be an old cow eating young grass! And… your memories can be influenced to this extent? I haven’t even lost my composure like you, I strongly suspect, there’s something wrong with you!” Anya sneered.
“Slander! You’re slandering me!” The Third Holy Mother gritted her teeth, subconsciously glancing at Chu Mo. Noticing that Chu Mo’s expression hadn’t changed, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Watching the two leave, Chu Mo didn’t say much.
Whether it was the Third Holy Mother or Anya, if they really revealed such thoughts, he would only refuse. After all, for him, who severely lacked a sense of security, becoming stronger and hiding his true self as much as possible was the top priority.
Love, even marriage, could happen anytime… It wouldn’t be too late to wait until he was invincible! Anyway, according to Chu Mo’s estimation, if everything went smoothly and he didn’t die prematurely. At most, after transmigrating another ten times, he should be able to become invincible!
“…But speaking of which!” Chu Mo looked in the direction the Third Holy Mother had left. She really looked like a young girl, and not the Mount Hua God, who shook the world… Was it because of the memory awakening that caused this influence? Or was the Third Holy Mother deliberately acting this way to close the distance between them?!
Thoughts flashed through Chu Mo’s mind. He realized that after this, the Third Holy Mother had indeed become someone he could approach intimately in his heart.
Shaking his head, Chu Mo dispelled the chaotic thoughts from his mind.
“Less than two years left!” With a thought, Chu Mo ordered the Netherworld Emperor and Great Ming Preceptor to walk out of the door.
Chu Mo snapped his fingers, Space Technique activated, a large number of Spirit Stones piled up around him, continuously pouring into his body with Chu Mo’s breathing.
◈◈◈
Yang Jian stared expectantly at the tightly closed door, Fa Hai crossed his arms, sometimes joyful, sometimes sighing.
“Your sister must be strong… she must cuckold the Empress, I mean that snake demon!” Although Fa Hai had lowered his head before, he still looked down on Anya. After all, the conflict between the two sides had lasted for hundreds of years… He had truly been suppressed by his identity during this time, unable to breathe.
If… His Majesty were to happily marry the Third Holy Mother in this era…
Then, they saw the two with gloomy faces walk out of the house. Behind them were closely following the Netherworld Emperor and the Great Ming Preceptor.
The two: “?! “
No, they had just left… it hadn’t even been half a minute! What exactly did you guys talk about inside?
“When do we go to Kyoto?” The Netherworld Emperor raised his eyebrows.
“Your Majesty.” Fa Hai subconsciously revealed respect, “We should wait until the situation in Kyoto stabilizes… before we can set off! I’ll check the situation.”
Streams of light appeared before Fa Hai’s eyes, obviously using Nüwa to check information. Then, his pupils suddenly contracted, “Wait… something actually happened in Kyoto! How is that possible?!”
After a moment of silence, Fa Hai stared at Anya and Zhu Biao with a complicated expression.
◈◈◈
The two paused, their expressions changing drastically at the same time, starting to mobilize data. At the same time, thinking of the people in Kyoto related to the two of them… they could only think of Zhu Yuanzhang… But if something really happened to Zhu Yuanzhang!
However, unable to contact Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao panicked. After a brief thought, Anya realized that Zhu Yuanzhang should be fighting right now, not that something had happened. Otherwise, Fa Hai wouldn’t have that attitude. She contacted Tang He, and a virtual screen was instantly projected before her.
“Xiao Anya.” Tang He’s gaze swept over Fa Hai, Zhu Biao, Yang Jian, and others, his eyebrows twitching.
“What’s going on with Master?” Anya asked with a grave expression.
Tang He’s mouth twitched, pinching his brow, seemingly happy, yet also sighing, “He’s considered… having misfortune in the family, right?”
Anya: “!??”
“It’s nothing… it’s just that! Emperor Yongle has returned. It’s just that… he seems to have turned into a Fallen Heroic Spirit! The state of things is hard to say, Zhu Yuanzhang… is now preparing to clean up the family.” Tang He’s tone was low.
A dead silence.
Everyone looked at each other, waves crashing in their hearts. They were directly overwhelmed by this sudden news.
◈◈◈
Kyoto World City.
The primordial beast tide had now gradually subsided. Although eight of the one hundred and eighty-seven districts had been damaged, the number of casualties wasn’t huge! However, this was essentially a humiliation for the Divine Province…
Inside the Epang Palace.
The black-robed woman’s face was cold. She raised her head, her black-glowing eyes piercing through the roof and the void, staring at the only Heroic Spirit still alive and standing in the Divine Province’s Kyoto among the current attackers.
Emperor Yongle… Zhu Di!
The robes on his body were dyed pitch-black, his pupils had also turned pitch-black, his hair was pure white, and his face didn’t have the slightest wrinkle. Wisps of divine energy were spreading.
And standing opposite him was Zhu Yuanzhang.
If it were anyone else, the Divine Lord would directly order the top experts to besiege him. After all, what time was it now? There was no need to talk about one-on-one battles!
But, in Zhu Di’s case… they still had to give Zhu Yuanzhang some face… Especially since Zhu Di’s current situation was also very strange!
Zhu Di had once made great contributions to the Divine Province, even dying in the depths of the primordial sea, asking people to send his sword back before his death. Donating it to the national treasury… He was worthy of praise in life and death.
So now that he had returned alive and stood on the opposite side of the Divine Province… what was the situation, it was truly a problem worth pondering!
“Is it brainwashing… or is he being controlled? Or did some other mutation occur?” One possibility after another flashed through the Divine Lord’s mind.
Above the void.
“Fourth, it’s been decades since we last met.” Zhu Yuanzhang’s voice didn’t have the slightest fluctuation.
No words were spoken.
Zhu Di’s whole body emitted brilliant divine light, suddenly throwing a punch forward. Seemingly ordinary, in reality, a terrifying divine might quietly bloomed at this moment—
True Martial Divine Fist!
This punch… contained all the mysteries of the True Martial Divine Position and True Martial Technique!
“…You’ve grown up.” The brilliant divine light around Zhu Yuanzhang severed the ages. That legend that symbolized him cutting off the path to immortality, isolated time and space, making that terrifying punch unable to cross over forever. It was close at hand, yet it could never kill him.
“But! Still too immature…” A hint of disappointment appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes. He had reminisced with Zhu Di for a long time before, but had never managed to restore his clarity. At this moment, killing intent had truly risen in his heart.
He finally sighed, “And if you’re like this, your grandfather saw it… he would be very disappointed too.”
“…” On Zhu Di’s face, which didn’t have the slightest emotional fluctuation, a slight ripple appeared for the first time. The brilliant fist radiance scattered, his body swayed, and he pressed his forehead, murmuring, “Grandfather…”
Countless memories bloomed in his mind. He seemed to remember that gentle man… that grandfather who sometimes gave him special treatment! That man who taught him many Demonic Tome techniques…
That man who laid the foundation for him to become a top expert in the world, and after his father truly explained that person’s identity, truly ignited his ambition, allowing him to conquer and rebuild the Great Demonic Empire…
