"Mm."
Black Robed Chen Xun smiled faintly. "My consciousness is a little blurred, but it was quite an exquisite stretch of years. You know, I would never scheme against you."
"Words are useless." Chen Xun's main body spoke indifferently. "Consider it as though I have already brought you back. As for the journey along the Chaos Ancient Road, consider it my arrogance. These years... you have worked hard."
"Hehe, remember, this was our promise back then."
Black Robed Chen Xun smiled weakly and turned to face Chen Xun's main body. "I was you to begin with. I called you here only because I wanted to see them one last time."
A glimmer of light flashed through Chen Xun's narrow eyes. "The ancient road's mission has been fulfilled."
"Chen Xun, are you truly willing to cut away your past self?" Black Robed Chen Xun's expression suddenly grew more agitated.
"You have done your utmost for the Immortal Court, and I have done my utmost for old friends. On the journey to the Primordial Chaos River, I will lead them onward without turning back."
A force and conviction suddenly surged from Chen Xun's main body, his words ringing with power. "Cutting you down does not mean cutting away the past. It means severing the self that hesitates and refuses to move forward because of the past."
Black Robed Chen Xun's memories had long since surged into the main body like raging waves. It was as though he had watched flowers from a galloping horse, taking in everything at a glance.
This avatar was like the self who had lived in the past—unable to see the road ahead, forever muddleheaded deep within, drifting with the current. He had never boldly stepped forward, planned for the future, or sought everlasting ages for those around
