I Am Your Natural Enemy

At this point, digging into the roots, aren’t you just hitting someone right in the face?

There’s no deep-seated hatred worth tearing off the mask like this, is there?

Even the Scorching Sun Department never questions or investigates. It’s really unnecessary, and there’s no need to offend people blindly.

Unfortunately, no one knows that Lord Zhu’s name is beneath Old Zhu’s memorial tablet, protected by it.

Back when the entire manor suddenly fell into the Netherworld, Wen Yan didn’t ask and took Old Zhu’s memorial tablet with him, an act Lord Zhu has always remembered.

If not for Wen Yan, Lord Zhu might never have gotten Old Zhu’s memorial tablet back in his next life.

Together with it, his name was also lost.

If not for Wen Yan, his name would have been completely lost, never to be recovered.

After doing all this, Lord Zhu respectfully kowtowed a few times.

He indeed couldn’t perform pulse diagnosis or treat illness, but he could sense things. This was just a byproduct of his ability. He relied on these abilities when collecting others’ names.

After sensing Wen Yan’s feelings, he was startled.

Because he once had the exact same feelings.

The Scorching Sun Department didn’t know who he was, no one recognized him, yet he seemed to know many people and many things about old ghosts, which was normal.

Because everything about his past had been erased.

The year he was born, he was declared prematurely dead.

He was born with divine anomalies, in a childish state, understanding nothing, and caused some disturbances. To protect him, he was declared prematurely dead.

Later on, he still got noticed.

Everything about him was erased, no one remembered him, there were no records.

Just when he was about to forget who he was, he saw someone whom everyone feared speaking to him.

”Let’s see, what ghostly thing can change anything? Let it change.”

Then, his name was recorded on the inside layer, with Old Zhu’s name on the outer layer.

Clearly, no matter what ghostly thing it was, it couldn’t possibly have the power to shake Old Zhu’s name.

Trying to shake Old Zhu’s name would be harder than overthrowing the dynasty back then.

Later, Old Zhu did many things, killed many people, many non-humans, broke the Mountain Lord’s backbone, shattered many things, leaving no trace of them.

He even stamped on the accelerator in a nosedive, completely smashing a whole bunch of non-humans.

Oh, in the same era, there was one more thing the Demons can never forget even after ten thousand years.

Demon-Sweeping Jiazi.

Many things happened then, and Lord Zhu’s matter was just a tiny, insignificant incident among them, so insignificant that it was not even recorded.

Lord Zhu knelt in front of Old Zhu’s memorial tablet, waiting silently.

He knew, among the things smashed to pieces back then, there might be something that survived The Last Dharma and is now reviving.

The bad news is that his foe back then isn’t completely dead and is now reviving.

The good news is that this damn thing is just beginning to revive, and there are only two possibilities: either, like Water Monarch, it has a physical body, suppressed and merely sleeping, surviving the ages and not yet dead.

Clearly, this scenario is impossible.

Or, the damn thing that harmed him back then wasn’t completely destroyed, barely surviving, leading it to revive so early.

If it can affect Wen Yan during his case work, it’s certainly not just starting to revive now.

This just indicates that back then, this damn thing was beaten terribly, almost completely destroyed.

This time, striking once again, only shows that it had to, otherwise it would be unearthed. In the current era, if unearthed, it would not be far from death.
