"Why is it looking at me? Why does it want to look at me?" Li Huowang looked up at the eyeball in the yin-yang Taiji diagram above his head, trembling with this question in his heart.
This question was destined to have no answer. The only thing Li Huowang knew was that he was truly being targeted by this Dou Lao.
Without any hesitation, Li Huowang quickly flipped over and pounced towards the ground that seemed like liquid all around him.
Even if he would be buried deep in the soil dozens of feet deep in the future! Li Huowang didn't want to end up like the God Mountain Ghost Eye, being pulled into his own body by this Dou Lao!
As Li Huowang's body sank half into the soil, in the next moment, he suddenly felt that the whole world had turned upside down.
The ground within reach in front of him was actually the ceiling, and the black and white ocean in the far distance below him was the ground:
The inverted Li Huowang's body in the air uncontrollably fell towards the Dou Lao below him.
"I refuse to accept it! I was about to obtain the cultivation method! I was about to become a normal person!" Li Huowang clenched his teeth and suddenly shook his right hand.
The flesh-colored worms in his abdomen quickly surged out, entwining each other into a bundle of ropes, tightly wrapping around a partially collapsed stone wall on the ground.
Although his body managed to stabilize, the situation was not good. The pulling force on his body was still getting stronger.
Gradually, transparent threads that ordinary people couldn't see appeared above Li Huowang's head. With the agitation of the black and white ocean, the threads on his body were separated.
Then, some threads from the past were peeled off, while some threads on the outside were hidden. Some threads were interwoven with each other.
He thought it would just stay like this, and the situation would continue to stalemate. But gradually, some images began to emerge in Li Huowang's mind.
First, it was a giant bull's head several times taller than himself. Li Huowang remembered that this was the fear he felt when he first saw a water buffalo at the age of six.
Next was the terrifying counter of a pawnshop. This was a scene he saw when he was fourteen years old and was sent to town to apprentice at a pawnshop.
Then, there was a skinny man crying loudly. He was the shopkeeper of this pawnshop and also Li Huowang's master. He was deceived by a group of swindlers and lost everything when he was pawning things.
It was from here that Li Huowang lost his job and had to find food for himself, which led him to come into contact with the Taoist sects that deceive beings.
These images started off slowly, but they became faster and faster, flashing like a slide show in his mind.
Then, some blurry memories began to gradually become clear, some very special memories.
Some about scams, some about his experience of learning the supernatural powers of the Taoist sects gradually emerged.
"Hong Zhong, what are you doing? Are you really playing this big? Are you really so heartless? Aren't you afraid of playing yourself into it?"
"Hey, San Yuan's realm is too high, I really can't understand it. Alright, alright, since you said so, then I'll do it."

These memories that became clearer and clearer made Li Huowang feel an unprecedented fear. His pale lips began to tremble, "I am not Hong Zhong... I am Li Huowang... I am not Hong Zhong... I am Li Huowang..."
But this endlessly repeating pale face couldn't convince anyone. If a person cannot imagine something they have not known, what is the extra thing in his mind now?
As more and more memories filled his mind, the strength in his grip on the wall weakened. If everything about Li Huowang was fabricated by Hong Zhong to deceive him, then was it necessary for him to struggle desperately to stay alive?
Zhuge Yuan noticed that something was wrong with Li Huowang, and his brows furrowed even tighter. He quickly reached for his waist and pulled out a slender soft sword.
Then, resolutely, he stomped on the scroll with his feet, using the momentum to step on his left foot with his right foot.
A figure in white passed by Li Huowang, with an unstoppable momentum, charging straight towards the Dou Lao that covered the entire sky and earth.
As he blocked Li Huowang's line of sight, the pulling force on Li Huowang's body suddenly stopped, and he fell heavily onto the wall.
The flashing images in his mind disappeared, but those past memories became even more vivid, as if they really existed.
"No, no, no, no!" Li Huowang trembled as he touched his face. His facial features and flesh and bones quickly changed, eventually turning into the appearance of Hong Zhong.
This was no longer the appearance forcibly supported by Li Sui's tentacles, but his subconscious action, like eating and drinking.
And as Li Huowang thought, his face kept changing, Dog Wa, Lv Zhuangyuan, Gao Zhijian, Bai Lingmiao, Zhao Wu, Chun Xiaoman.
One face after another appeared and disappeared on his face, making Li Huowang gradually become more and more confused about his past face.
"Slash!" A thunderous sound exploded, causing Li Huowang to raise his head. As Zhuge Yuan's soft sword shattered into pieces, a sword aura flew quickly towards the Dou Lao in the air.
But when that huge arc of light flew past, it found that in front of the Dou Lao that covered the sky like a firmament, it only stirred up a small layer of spray.
When it saw that eye move towards Li Huowang again, Zhuge Yuan in the air quickly flipped backwards and stood firmly in front of Li Huowang.
Facing the Dou Lao that covered the sky, Zhuge Yuan showed no fear on his face. With his left hand behind his back, he tightly gripped the Judge's Pen with a crack, pointing it directly at the one-eyed Dou Lao in the air.
"Brother Li! You go first! I'll hold it off for you. Don't worry, the other Sifeng are watching it. It can't come down to the mortal realm! Once we leave this capital city, everything will be fine!"Li Huowang, wearing the face of a stranger, looked at Zhuge Yuan's upright figure with a complex expression. "That's the Fate Master, Brother Zhuge, why are you doing this for me?"
"Knowing each other is about understanding the heart! There are not so many whys in life! If I want to do something... I just do it!"
With a "whoosh", the wax-yellow old imperial calendar scattered across the sky. Zhuge Yuan hovered in the air, using the earth as an inkstone and the sky as paper. He quickly began to write with the judge's pen in his hand. "Beware of the Fate Master revealing himself!"
As soon as his words fell, all the old imperial calendars exploded and ignited, like yellow talismans wrapped in flames, floating towards the Doumu in the sky.
With these words, the whole world suddenly became a bit brighter, and the black and white body of the Doumu in the sky began to dim.
Watching everything in the sky, the bewildered Li Huowang clenched his teeth and fists tightly. "Run? How could I abandon my friend and live in disgrace!"
"Don't be foolish, that's the true form of Doumu, how could you possibly fight it? It's rare to find a fool to block it, hurry up and run for your life." The hallucinatory Taoist sects that deceive beings hurriedly advised.
"Bullshit! You're all Taoist sects that deceive beings, who are you fooling!! The monks rely on the boundless treasure, they can only summon the incarnation of Doumu! They can't summon the true form of Doumu!"
