Body: "Actually, you've been thinking about it for a long time. You came to find me just so I could act as your absolute rational thought, help you sort things out again."

Li Zhiyuan: "I have thought about it, but haven't made the final decision yet."

Body: "Given your current strength, it's indeed impossible to survive in those places mentioned. But according to this theory, you can apply the method further.

Forcing a slightly fluctuating large-scale cause and effect counterbalance can also create suitable opportunities for the Heavenly Dao.

For example, find Wei Zhengdao's tomb.

In that wave of Dream Ghosts, both Wei Zhengdao and Emperor Fengdu appeared simultaneously, they're at least of the same level."

Li Zhiyuan: "Do you know where his tomb is?"

Body: "I don't know. But the one under the Peach Forest, isn't it already there?"

Li Zhiyuan gently shook the can of drink in his hand.

Body: "The one under the Peach Forest said before that if possible, it is willing to be one of the last few waves on your River Crossing journey, just preemptively ignite it.

Sacrifice it to help you avoid the Great Emperor wave."

Li Zhiyuan: "That's really your style."

Body: "Of course, the most cost-effective way is the Yu Family. You should head to the Yu Family territory immediately and quickly involve yourself in the Yu Family's disturbance.

With the significant cause and effect of the proper Dragon King family, it's also possible to touch the cause and effect of the Great Emperor."

Li Zhiyuan: "I also thought of the Yu Family."

Body: "Yes, after all, the Heavenly Dao has prepared for the Yu Family's demise for so long, not only the top forces of the Jianghu are watching, but at that time, this generation's elites of River Crossing will also gather in that Yu Family wave, it will surely be very lively."

Li Zhiyuan picked up another can of Jianlibao and handed it to Body: "Do you want to drink?"

Body: "It seems like this belongs to me."

Li Zhiyuan: "The taste comes from my experience."

Body: "I don't like sweet things, especially fake, meaningless sweetness."

Li Zhiyuan: "Similarly, this is also the problem I'm thinking about, getting involved with the Yu Family, forcibly starting a new wave, indeed can likely avoid the Fengdu wave, such things have been done by Zhao Yi when he fought hard against waves before.

But, after the Yu Family wave ends, what about the next wave?

The Great Emperor is still there, watching me, waiting for me.

How am I supposed to dodge the next wave?

Or, after the Yu Family wave, will I quickly gain enough strength to reach a level where I can protect myself before the Great Emperor?"

Body: "Impossible."

Li Zhiyuan: "As long as my strength hasn't reached that level, I'll still have to gamble on His whims when facing the Great Emperor."

Body stored away the thick Walking River Behavior Regulations and closed the drawer, saying:

"Better to gamble early than late."

If the Great Emperor wants to kill, it's just the difference between dying in an earlier wave or dying in a later wave.

If the Great Emperor doesn't want to kill, then going to the Yu Family wave after the Fengdu wave can gain more benefits.

In the next moment,

Li Zhiyuan and Body spoke in unison:

"Go meet the Great Emperor."

Immediately, Li Zhiyuan raised his head, trying to drink the remaining beverage, but no matter how he drank, he couldn't finish it.

The young man gave up, turned the drink can upside down, and the liquid inside flowed endlessly like a running faucet.

Li Zhiyuan looked at Body: "Interesting?"

Body: "You're the one who brought the answer to me first."

Li Zhiyuan threw the drink can to the ground, the can emptied, and the liquid accumulated on the ground dried up.

Standing at the room's doorway, Li Zhiyuan paused and said, facing away from Body:

"Going to Fengdu, I'm still a bit anxious, so I thought to come and talk to you."

"Boring."

Li Zhiyuan left.

Body also exited the room, going downstairs, back to the basement.

The benches in the basement were fully occupied.

The interior layout had been greatly altered, in the center a circle of people sat, surrounded by walls with a ring of high platforms, each holding an unshaped clay figure.

Originally, this circle didn't exist, but in reality, Li Zhiyuan had just answered Xue Liangliang's phone at Aunt Zhang's small shop, and Body had come to the basement to add it.

Because it realized, in the future, what might need replacing could be more than just people.

"You better not give me a chance to grow."

...

"If the sea could call back the love of the past, then let me wait for it for a lifetime..."

On the return trip from the team-building event, amidst laughter and chatter, everyone sang loudly with the wind on the bus.

Tan Wenbin originally planned to head straight back to Nantong, but Zhao Yi rejected the idea.

He said that Tan Wenbin should spend more time with his partner after recovering, and besides the farm stay experience, he should revisit those beautiful campus days.

In fact, Zhao Yi was thinking of Lin Shuyou's benefit, after all, having just wiped out the Lu Family, he should let Ah You bask in the admiring gazes from Chen Lin.

Tan Wenbin didn't object and looked on as they neared the Jinling territory, he picked up the big old phone to report to Brother Xiao Yuan.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhao Yi was picking out the next suitable song from the tapes.

After a while, Tan Wenbin hung up the phone and turned off the car stereo, plunging the car into silence.

The child happily singing Yin Meng asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

Tan Wenbin: "Meng Meng, you can prepare to go home."

Yin Meng: "Aren't we already heading home... going to Fengdu?"

Tan Wenbin: "Yes."

Yin Meng sat stunned in her seat, stopped grabbing snacks, and instead placed her thumb in her mouth, biting hard with her teeth.

"Crunch!"

Zhao Yi pushed the newly selected tape in, then lit a cigarette and took a puff, slowly exhaling. He extended the hand holding the cigarette out the car window, letting the wind outside whip at his hair.

A haunting and poignant melody arose within the car,

it was "The Moon Reflected in Erquanspring."
