Chapter 589 No one is sanctified
The speculation about the Queen Mother of the West and what happened in the Kunlun Twin Fruit World was revealed by Holy Emperor Chong'en.

Shang Siting's mind exploded.

"I take knowledge as my avenue. Although it is not as easy as the Queen Mother of the West to fuse the original Taoist weapons and become a saint, it is better than taking a thousand-mile step. As long as I keep moving forward, one day I will take that step."

"After the Queen Mother of the West became a saint, she broke the barriers of the fruit world and left for the outside world. This journey lasted for endless years."

"In these endless years, I have finally reached the end of the road of knowledge by relying on hard work."

What is the end.

The end is the saint, the state of transcendence.

"But at this time, the Queen Mother of the West came back. The first thing she did after she came back was to hold a peach feast."

When Saint Emperor Chong'en said this, he paused.

Even if he didn't continue, Shang Siting could still make a rough guess about the development of the situation.

Holy Emperor Chong'en expressed doubts about Queen Mother Xi's motives for holding the peach feast, but she was the only saint in this fruit world, so it was hard to displease her.

All the immortals gathered together for a peach feast. What they thought was a joyful banquet turned out to be their tomb.

Queen Mother Xi killed all the immortals.

No one is sanctified.

"So, it turns out that the heads I saw hanging on the peach trees after nightfall in the Peach Garden were all real?!"

This time, Holy Emperor Chong'en gave a negative answer.

"We have been wiped out a long time ago. There is no talk of heads and corpses. Those black shadows lingering in the peach garden are just unwilling resentments before death."

As he spoke, the mountain inside the bronze door suddenly began to shake.

The piled bubbles slid to both sides, and a real figure walked out of the mountain.

That is the true appearance of Holy Emperor Chong'en.

"If you still have doubts about me and think what I said is too false. You can look at what I look like now."

As Saint Emperor Chong'en spoke, he walked out of the bronze door and walked not far from Shang Siting.

It looks... looks normal?

The Holy Emperor Chong'en in front of him looks like a middle-aged man. He looks kind and kind, with a bookish air about him.

Shang Siting still didn't understand what was wrong with the "appearance" he said, but the voice of Holy Emperor Chong'en sounded again.

"You might as well walk to the side of me and take a closer look."

Hearing this, Shang Siting walked to the right side of Holy Emperor Chong'en. When she turned to look at Holy Emperor Chong'en, she finally understood.

Shang Siting's eyes were filled with shock, because she saw that Holy Emperor Chong'en, who had clearly three-dimensional facial features just now, turned into a thin layer of...skin when viewed from the right?

Is that human skin?
"As you can see, we died in the massacre of the peach feast a long time ago. Everyone you see now is just a piece of 'human skin'."

"The Queen Mother of the West weaved these human skins and painted them to look like each of us."

"That's the answer to your original question."

Shang Siting's first question was why no one else lived in Abbot Xianshan.

The answer given by Holy Emperor Chong'en was that the entire Kunlun Twin Fruit World was already empty.

And they cannot be called human beings, they are just "human skin" at best.

The purpose of the Queen Mother of the West in weaving human skin is unknown, but what is certain is that she would not weave human skin for all the little-known cats and dogs.

That's why it's like now, whether it's Kunlun Immortal Court or Abbot Immortal Mountain, there are very few living people.

"You just said that we are now in the reincarnation of time." "You also said that all the immortals are dead and only the false human skin is left, so why can you, who exists as a false human skin, still tell yourself These……"

These truths.

Shang Siting asked confused.

The human skin representing the Holy Emperor Chong'en turned to Shang Siting and pointed his head at her.

In this way, he returned to the appearance of the bookish middle-aged man, lifelike.

"About this, I have answered you before, because what I cultivate is the avenue of knowledge."

"Knowledge and memory are the beautiful waves that can roll up in the ever-flowing river of time. They will never completely disappear."

While Holy Emperor Chong'en was speaking, he raised his hand, and from between his fingers, a memory bubble fell and was casually popped.

"I am reborn again." The voice of Holy Emperor Chong'en sounded in the bubble, and he sighed.

"The twelve thousand four hundred and thirty-sixth rebirth. Queen Mother Xi still hasn't given up on the time loop. I still haven't found her true purpose for doing this."

Holy Emperor Chong'en didn't say anything and casually popped the second bubble.

"The 35,577th rebirth. She is like a madman, and we are just shadow puppets at the mercy of it."

The third bubble.

"The sixty-nine thousand one hundred and twenty-second rebirth. Remembering me seems to have become a punishment that drives people crazy. Sadly, I can no longer die again."

Each bubble records every rebirth of Holy Emperor Chong'en.

It also represents the reincarnation of time in the Kunlun Twin Fruit world.

The same sound was repeated over and over again, and the number of deaths and rebirths increased again and again. There was something indescribably weird about it.

"I think I don't need to prove anything anymore."

Holy Emperor Chong'en stopped poking the bubbles.

His eyes fell on Shang Siting.

"So, Holy Emperor, have you finally figured out the purpose of Queen Mother Xi's doing this?" Shang Siting couldn't help but ask.

Holy Emperor Chong'en shook his head.

"However." He changed the subject, his eyes still staying on Shang Siting, "Originally I had no clue, but after seeing you, I had a guess."

"You mean that the Queen Mother of the West maintains this endless reincarnation because of us?" Shang Siting asked.

"I don't know. I don't rule out this possibility, but I don't know the more reasons."

Holy Emperor Chong'en has been dead for a long time, and now he is just a human skin, retaining some memories because of the avenue of knowledge.

It's not easy to stay awake, let alone expect him to find out the truth.

"Counting the time, this reincarnation of the peach feast should be about to begin."

When Saint Emperor Chong'en said this, his face showed an expression that looked like crying but not smiling, and the mountain of memory bubbles behind him collapsed once again.

The flying bubbles were overwhelming, and Shang Siting raised her head subconsciously, watching them fly past her head and the colorful light refracted from them.

"You should leave quickly before I lose control of this knowledge."

Saint Emperor Chong'en's face suddenly became painful.

After he finished speaking, he quickly walked into the bronze door behind him. The next second, the bronze door closed heavily.

Seeing this scene, Shang Siting finally understood what it meant:
Knowledge memory is also a burden.

 Thank you all for your monthly votes, thank you (哐哐哐~)!
