The Immortal Chu Xinghe!

Ma Liang was not mistaken; Wu Erke was indeed extremely dejected.

The reason for Wu Erke's despondency is quite simple...

Wu Erke is a man with dreams. His dream is not to inherit his father's mantle of a Casanova, nor to become the Lord of West Ridge, nor the Lord of Wuj iang.

What kind of bullshit Lord of the Wuj iang is this? It means absolutely nothing to Wu Erke!

Status... power... Wu Erke didn't care about any of it.

Wu Erke is a pure person, someone who only likes to invent and create.

Wu Erke believed that those who vied for power were utterly vulgar.

What's the point of fighting? What's the point of seizing? In the end, it's all for nothing.

In this world, if you ask Wu Erke who he respects, it's only Chu Xinghe!

What the hell? You mean Holy Lord Gu Mingchao? Wu Erke scoffed at Gu Mingchao; so what if his cultivation was a little higher?

Even if you're high enough, can you surpass the top Main Gods of the Four Continents era?

What kind of Holy Empress Ji Ya is she...? She's just someone with higher cultivation levels, isn't she?

In Wu Erke's eyes, all those so-called strongmen and overlords are just ordinary mortals!

In Wu Erke's eyes, no matter how successful these people become, they are merely following in the footsteps of their predecessors. You are practicing the techniques of your predecessors, and you are walking the paths of your predecessors. So no matter how successful you are, who will remember you in the Future?

You're just living in someone else's shadow!

Wu Erke believed that a person should live a life of creation... invention... and becoming a pioneer!

What is the meaning of life if one lives only in the shadow of others?

No matter how high one's status, it's nothing but empty fame; no matter how great one's power, it's nothing but dust!

When everything comes to an end, and you look back on your life, you will realize that you have only walked the path that others have walked, and you are just one of the masses... like countless specks of dust, eventually dissipating into the long river of time.

Of all the people in the Three Continents today, only Chu Xinghe commands Wu Erke's respect!

It wasn't because of Chu Xinghe's status, nor because of Chu Xinghe's power... but because Chu Xinghe pioneered the art of Body Cultivation!

In Wu Erke's view, the path of Body Cultivation pioneered by Chu Xinghe was creation... invention!

It is something that has never existed in this world before... Even millions of years later, as long as there are still people in this world who cultivate the Body Cultivation, they will remember Chu Xinghe...

Wu Erke believed that human life should not be measured by birth or death.

Is living a meaningless, uneventful life what you call life?

So, once you die, you're considered to have no life left?

Vulgar!

In Wu Erke's eyes, life is more important than death; what difference is there between you and a stone in this world if you live a meaningless life?

You're not even as useful as a rock, so how can you say a rock is alive?

If a stone isn't alive, can you say you are?

Similarly, death does not mean the end of life. In Wu Erke's view, true death is when no one in this world remembers your existence.

When everyone in the world no longer remembers that you ever existed, then you are truly dead.

As long as there are people in this world who remember you, as long as your name is still sung, then you are truly immortal!

Therefore, in Wu Erke's eyes, Chu Xinghe had already attained immortality!

Chu Xinghe is a true inventor, a creator... a pioneer, a trailblazer... an immortal being worthy of being remembered by time forever!

Apart from Chu Xinghe, Wu Erke is not one to submit to anyone... No matter how strong you are, you can crush Wu Erke body and rub it in the ground, but you can't destroy Wu Erke soul!

To be honest, given Wu Erke's mindset, he probably wouldn't even agree to be the Lord of Wu Erke Wuj iang...

I don't have the time to deal with Wuj iang... Let whoever wants to deal with them do it...

If I hadn't been so young and naive back then, and if my dad hadn't run away so early, would I have become the leader of West Ridge?

Whoever wants to be this damn leader can have it... I, Wu Erke, pursue immortality!

I want to invent something that will be remembered by history!

Although he became the new ruler of Wuj iang, Wu Erke did not concern himself with any of Wuj iang affairs.

Wu Erke only said one thing... give me the principle of non-interference...

What the hell? You guys don't even understand what "governing by doing nothing" means?

To put it simply, you can do whatever you want... as long as you don't bother my Wu Erke, I'll thank your ancestors for eighteen generations!

Just a few days ago, the birth of the awakened spirit beast... the start of the Summoner's Path, made Wu Erke so excited that he was moved to tears!

Chu Xinghe... is the immortal Chu Xinghe... He's made his move again... He's made history once more, he's gained immortality once more...

He is a true powerhouse, an immortal being who will be remembered for countless ages to come!

Yet, amidst the excitement, Wu Erke began to doubt himself for the first time...

In the past, Wu Erke had tried to invent things but always failed. Wu Erke believed that these failures were not due to his own lack of ability, but mainly because the resources in West Ridge were too poor.

It's simply not enough to support my own research and inventions...

However, with the arrival of Chu Xinghe, the first immortal in Wu Erke's eyes, even though Wu Erke was unwilling to let Chu Xinghe hand over the Wuj iang to him, Wu Erke still accepted it with great excitement.

Because this was what Chu Xinghe instructed.

Later, Chu Xinghe provided him with a continuous stream of resources.

To be honest, Wu Erke was really excited...

With so many resources, I, Wu Erke, am sure I can create something new...

However, as Wu Erke continued to pour massive amounts of resources into rampant chaos...

Forget about anything new... there's nothing left at all...

Therefore, after the period of arrogance, Wu Erke entered a period of self-doubt and decadence.

Wu Erke had no idea what was going on... "I, Wu Erke, am clearly capable... Why can't I research anything new?"

People... sometimes the more they doubt themselves, the more trouble they cause. So, Wu Erke, plagued by self-doubt, has now completely given up...

He began to doubt whether he was truly suited for this path, or whether he was simply born to follow in the footsteps of others... destined never to become immortal?

Looking at Wu Erke before him, Ma Liang didn't know what an immortal was, but Ma Liang could say was... Wu Erke's illness was definitely incurable!

Of course, Ma Liang stated that Wu Erke's level of understanding was beyond his comprehension...

This level is fucking high... it's as high as a Technique Repository Tower!

But whether Wu Erke's level of understanding is high or low, we don't know; Wu Erke's mental state is definitely not normal.

Everyone else yearns to become stronger, to gain status and power, but Wu Erke... you can't even tell if Wu Erke has a higher level of understanding or is just mentally ill...

Ma Liang felt he couldn't afford to mess with Wu Erke...

I, Ma Liang, may provoke any powerful figure in this world, but with the Vast Heaven Holy Land as my backing, they can't do anything to me!

But if you mess with someone like Wu Erke... he's really capable of anything...

The Dark Moon Clan doesn't value human life because they've died so many times that they've become indifferent to life and death.

But a talent like Wu Erke is truly terrifying. He is currently immersed in invention and creation. If he succeeds, he will be the best inventor in the world, and he will spend his whole life in invention and creation, benefiting others.

But if Wu Erke truly fails to achieve results, he might eventually go to another extreme, and once he does... you can't even imagine what kind of monster Wu Erke would become!

"I've let Xinghe down, I've accomplished nothing... I seem to be... just a piece of trash..." Wu Erke looked even more dejected.

"No, no, no, Chief Wu Erke, Senior Brother Xinghe asked you to go to the Vast Heaven Holy Land to help this time..."

Ma Liang was about to reveal his purpose when Ma Liang interrupted him, saying, "Ma Liang, go back and tell Wu Erke Xinghe I've disappointed him. I'm a good-for-nothing. I have no face to see Xinghe again..."

Wu Erke didn't even give Ma Liang a chance after he finished speaking before turning around and leaving.

Good heavens, even Ma Liang would be furious... I traveled all this way to invite you, and you just say you're not going?

You're not going? Believe me, I'll tie you up and take you there!

But in the end, Ma Liang held back. After all, regardless of whether Wu Erke was practicing laissez-faire governance or not, Wu Erke was nominally in charge of Wuj iang.

In terms of status, this Wu Erke could even be compared to the chief elder!

It wasn't that Ma Liang wasn't confident in defeating Wu Erke; after all, although Wu Erke was famous and held a high position, his cultivation level might not actually be a match for Ma Liang 'Wu Erke.

The problem is, if we really take Wu Erke, the news will spread across Three Continents...

How will the outside world view this? Ma Liang, the only permanent low-level outer disciple of the Vast Heaven Holy Land, defeated Wu Erke, the acting leader of the Wuj iang, personally appointed by Chu Xinghe, without a word?

If this gets out, people will laugh their heads off...

Those who know him say Wu Erke is mentally ill, but those who don't might think the Vast Heaven Holy Land is having internal strife...

How will Senior Brother Xinghe handle this situation? How will the Wuj iang Holy Mother handle this situation?

Ma Liang is no longer the naive young man he once was...

Ma Liang was speechless. This Wu Erke was truly insane... Faced with Senior Brother Xinghe's summons, who wouldn't immediately head to the Vast Heaven Holy Land? But Wu Erke simply refused...

Although the reason given for refusing was that you disappointed Senior Brother Xinghe and were too ashamed to face him again, this is still a bit too outrageous!

Helpless, Ma Liang had no choice but to return to the Vast Heaven Holy Land immediately.

Meanwhile, Chu Xinghe was already waiting for Ma Liang to arrive with Wu Erke. "I've arranged everything for the Civil Engineering Department disciples... all the resources are ready, just waiting for Wu Erke to come and consume them."

In the end, only Ma Liang returned?

After hearing Ma Liang finish recounting his experiences in Wuj iang, Chu Xinghe was speechless...

I knew Wu Erke wasn't mentally stable, but I never imagined Wu Erke could be this insane!

Why don't you go and invite them yourself?

After much deliberation, Chu Xinghe felt it was inappropriate. Wu Erke was mentally unstable, and if he really went, there was no telling what extreme things he might do...

So after thinking it over, Chu Xinghe said, "Here's what we'll do... Ma Liang, go again and tell Wu Erke I've run into trouble, not just with the Demon God's Arm Bone, but with other problems as well. Inviting him to deal with the Demon God's Arm Bone is a minor matter; my real purpose is to create Future together with him!"

Ma Liang: "???"
