Juxi never thought of himself as a formidable character, but everyone has their moments of longing, at least treat them as memories?

Even though the memories have become blurry, Juxi still remembers clearly all the memories in this world... Similarly, he also remembers his mission.

Well, to put it less dramatically, it means being able to load a saved file.

But at this moment, a large amount of memories began to flood into Juxi's mind, even swallowing up existing memories like a secondary drug.

The world had undergone a significant change, making it difficult for Juxi to accept for a while.

Because this is a fictional place, Juxi doesn't feel any sense of belonging here.

"Where... where am I?!" Juxi shouted loudly.

Juxi felt that the surroundings were still a vast expanse of whiteness, like colors that needed to be loaded, slowly revealing themselves in front of him.

It was a marketplace, and the present Juxi had already turned pale, making it difficult for his body to move smoothly.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the palace at night?!!!" The guarding soldier clearly saw Juxi standing in front of the gate, his eyes filled with a hint of killing intent as he looked at the old man wearing a bamboo hat at the city gate.

Putting aside everything else, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, Juxi was already in violation by not wearing a queue, not to mention appearing inexplicably in front of the palace at this time! So naturally, the guarding soldier on the gate would not open the door for this strange person.

"Are you... are you kidding me? What I mean is, I'm still on the periphery of the palace, and it counts as breaking in?!" Faced with such provocation, Juxi was indifferent, and he directly stared at the soldiers on the city tower from behind his bamboo hat for a few seconds.

Although separated by only a city wall, the soldiers on the tower immediately felt uneasy, sensing that something was not right.

Uh...

Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly tried to launch a signal flare, hoping that the Imperial Guards would come help!

"Hehehe, is this what you're looking for?" Before the soldier could look down and find the signal flare at his waist, Juxi, who knows since when, was already holding a bamboo tube in his hand, the very signal flare he was looking for.

...Before that person could even call out, Juxi had already severed his throat and quietly made his way deeper into the palace.

Unlike what he had imagined, it was unexpectedly quiet here, not even a shadow of a person to be seen!

"How is this possible?!" Juxi said coldly, "The grand palace has not a single attendant... It seems that the rumors outside are true."

Although surprised, Juxi's expression remained as plain as ever, showing no fluctuations on his face.

Something significant must have happened in the palace. Why did the soldiers outside have no knowledge of the situation inside? It seemed that these monsters had a rather magical way of concealing themselves, to the point that he had absolutely no perception!

"It seems..." Juxi looked towards the deepest part of the palace and exclaimed in amazement, "The most terrifying creature seems to be still deep inside!"

The closer he got to the palace, the more uneasy he felt.

Think about it, decades have passed, that creature must have become terrifying to a certain degree—there is no guarantee he will win!

Even the first generation Tian Daozi could not completely eliminate it, let alone himself?

Juxi's heart was filled with some fear, but his steps never stopped as he continued to walk deeper. He knew very well that even if it only changed the process - he still had to try it himself!!!

"Hmph! Just as I expected..."

Juxi arrived at the front of the palace, and instantly, an unprecedented demonic aura blew towards him, causing his fingers to tremble involuntarily.

Just as he was about to grab his fingers, four figures appeared instantly in Juxi's front, back, left, and right.

"Old man, this is not where you should be!" one of them, with a sheep's head on top, stuck out its tongue.

The strength of the four of them surpassed that of the Demon King, no - more than one level stronger!!!

"Hehehe, you were able to break through the illusion array I set up as the King of Illusion, I am impressed..." The big black man with a bloated figure laughed loudly.

"Oh? I didn't notice?" Juxi snorted coldly and directly drew out his silver spear, vigilantly looking at his surroundings.

He did sense the existence of the illusion array, but...

The illusion array set up by the King of Illusion was too low-level, and Juxi almost stepped on it, immediately shattering the illusion array and losing all its effects.

"Hehe, I suppose you all only know how to create fear, but have never personally experienced it, right? Then... please experience fear!" Juxi's face suddenly turned cold, and the muscles all over his body trembled as if he was releasing the demon sealed within.

Soon, the temperature around him rose to a level that living beings couldn't survive, causing all four monsters in front of Juxi to experience a terror that exceeded their limits!

"The Dao is unpredictable - the power of the heavens!" Juxi made hand seals, and with a loud roar, he turned into a golden giant. With just one finger, he directly injured two of the four monsters.

Then, the golden giant suddenly began to grow crazily...

Boom!

Accompanied by the shockwave from the explosion, all the little monsters that rushed forward turned into dust almost instantly!

Meanwhile, inside the great hall...

"Aren't you going to fight?" A woman who was both beautiful and enchanting, in appearance and dress, lightly laughed. "Let this seat inform you that those pus-filled sacks may not necessarily be a match for the Heaven's Pride!"

"...I have my own understanding of this matter. There's no need for you to speak."

Although the woman had already reminded the old woman early on, the old woman seemed indifferent. She was not interested in continuing to watch the battle in front of the gate and turned to walk towards her own palace.

Seeing the empress ready to abandon her, the woman became nervous.

"Hey, you know about the Heaven's Pride's Heaven's Finger, if he comes in..."

"I am very well aware. That old man is after you, it has nothing to do with me!"

"You... you know very well that if it wasn't for me, you would never have reached your current position!!"

At this point, the beautiful and enchanting woman couldn't contain her anger any longer. She transformed into a majestic energy body and forcibly possessed the empress.

"Hehehe, you owe me - it's time to pay back!"

"Cough cough cough... Don't even think about it!!!"

Dong!

A long bell suddenly rang, and the woman who almost possessed the empress was shaken out. It seemed like there was a formation around the palace, making the woman's body translucent, and even the red floral robe on her body seemed to be disappearing.

"Heaven...Dao...Zi!"

The furious woman gritted her teeth and shouted the name with anger. She knew that this thing must be related to Tian Dao Zi, because the only one who could have such power to influence her was the president of Tian Dao Institute!

"Hmph! I don't believe that I can't break through the defenses of Tian Dao Institute today!"

...

Juxi remained unharmed, standing in the same spot as if he had never moved. He stood firmly, constantly changing strange seals in his hands.

"Are you still going to fight?"

"..."

"Tian Dao's second finger!"

Obviously, after enduring the first wave of attacks, almost all of the remaining enemies were killed or injured!

However, the two remaining huge monsters were much stronger and managed to withstand Juxi's attack. However...

Before the second finger even fell, the terrifying aftermath had already wiped out the two monsters.

"...Is that all?"

After uttering these simple words, Juxi swaggered into the empty palace. Of course, as he expected, there was no trace of human presence in this grand palace. Obviously, those rumors from the public were not groundless!

As he approached the dragon throne, Juxi felt an increasing stench of demonic energy.

"Ugh!"

The stench was too strong that even Juxi couldn't bear it. He covered his mouth and nose, and his footsteps came to a sudden stop.

Drip...drip...drip...

When Juxi stopped, a rhythmic sound of footsteps came from the black mist in front, accompanied by a looming figure slowly approaching.

"Hmph!"

Juxi vigilantly raised his silver spear, pointing it directly at the black figure not far away. His eyes showed unwavering determination.

"Come on!!!"

Boom!

After the smoke cleared, Juxi felt exhausted as if he had died, but someone seemed to be dragging him in the dark, obstructing him.

"Hey...is anyone there?!"

Juxi wandered in a pale world, where there was nothing except simple colors.

"Am...Am I in a world that hasn't been developed yet?"

Just when Juxi was getting anxious, a familiar voice rang out and he woke up from his dream.

"Great hero...sir!!!"

Hey... (back to first-person)

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself surrounded by strange villagers, as if they were all waiting for me to say something.

"Um...what can I do for you all?"

An old voice came out of Juxi's mouth, which surprised him a bit.

"Nothing," a villager said gratefully, "We all know, we thought...sir was gone!"

"Me? Gone?" Although I didn't catch on at first, from their expressions, it was evident that they thought I was dead.

When I looked up at the sky, it was already bright, and the gloom that had hung over the capital was gradually dissipating.
