"Cough, cough, cough."
After "Ksitigarbha" left, the bedraggled boy crawled out of the ruins, coughing violently.
He was covered in blood and dirt, utterly miserable.
"Master... has fallen."
The boy murmured, utterly ignoring his injuries. His eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face.
His master, True Person Yuding, had fallen. He had self-destructed.
He was dead.
What was he supposed to do? Where was he supposed to go? After crying for a while, the boy looked at Golden Radiance Cave of Jade Spring Mountain, now reduced to rubble, and clenched his fists.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Ksitigarbha: "He's just an ant. Keeping him alive is more meaningful than killing him. So... you're still alive now. Understand?"
"Ksitigarbha" left the territory of Jade Spring Mountain and headed west at great speed. Within a few breaths, "Ksitigarbha" arrived at Mount Sumeru in the west.
After locating Ksitigarbha, "Ksitigarbha" stroked the blade of the Demon Slaying Sword and murmured, "Ksitigarbha, I'm giving you an Opportunity. You'd better seize it!"
"If you can't even seize this, I'll look down on you."
As he spoke,
