If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 922 Obsession with Revenge
Ten million years?
How long would that take?
Liu An has lived for over a million years, but ten million years is still an unattainable time for him.

He could feel his life slipping away, death drawing ever closer. He was too weak to even get up, and the fear prevented him from weighing the situation for long.

"I...I wish..."

Liu An spoke with difficulty, his whole body trembling, having used the last of his strength.

Gu An smiled and looked down at him while waving his sleeve. Immediately afterward, Liu An felt sleepiness wash over him, and his eyelids drooped.

Liu An, covered in blood, fell into a deep sleep, and his injuries healed at a visible speed.

Liu An had a dream in which he reunited with his childhood friend Wei Ye. Wei Ye questioned him about why he had killed the leader of the righteous alliance and his daughter. He explained that he had been tricked and that a force controlled his body, making him kill the two enemies. But Wei Ye did not believe him and said that the world was about to face unprecedented turmoil, and that he was the culprit behind it all.

Wei Ye's disappointed and angry eyes pierced him deeply, jolting him awake.

He opened his eyes and was greeted by a clear blue sky. He instinctively sat up and saw a huge sea turtle, as big as a small mountain, lying in front of him, staring at him. He was so frightened that he trembled and instinctively jumped up, ready to fight.

However, his actions frightened the turtle so much that it retreated back into its shell.

Liu An was stunned for a moment, then he realized that his injuries had healed. He touched his body and found it completely unharmed.

Memories of what happened before he lost consciousness surfaced in his mind, and he instinctively turned his head to look for the mysterious person who had saved him.

Soon, he spotted a pavilion halfway up the mountain. He used his divine sense to investigate but found no one there.

"The spiritual energy here... how is this possible..."

Liu An's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid. He had never felt such rich spiritual energy before, not even in the sacred temples of those holy lands.

Moreover, he also felt the vast Daoist intent permeating the world, which made him feel comfortable in body and mind.

Where exactly is this place?
His divine sense swept outwards, and he saw only an endless ocean. He couldn't see any other islands, let alone any mainland. It was as if there was only this one island in the world.

The thought of being a servant for millions of years made him take a deep breath and try to adjust his mindset.

After standing there for a while, he decided to go up the mountain to take a look.

Soon, he entered the courtyard halfway up the mountain. As soon as he entered, he stopped and stared in astonishment at the white-clad man who was preparing to chop firewood in the courtyard.

what happened?

His divine sense clearly did not see this person, and even now, he could not sense this person's aura.

He was a man of considerable experience, and after a slight pause, he bowed and clasped his hands in greeting to Gu An, saying in a deep voice, "Thank you for saving me, senior. May I ask your name?"

"My name is not important; what matters is who you are."

Gu An casually countered, "According to the original destiny, it would have taken Liu An hundreds of millions of years to reach Zhongtian. The reason he appeared early was because he encountered a fatal calamity, and Gu An intervened to save him, bringing him to Zhongtian ahead of time."

The Great Boundless Demon Ancestor kept sending mortals to the Heavenly Dao as variables, which attracted the attention of the Eternal Dao. They were unaware of the existence of the Great Boundless Demon Ancestor, but by a twist of fate, they discovered that Liu An was a variable of the Heavenly Dao, so they wanted to possess Liu An.

In that battle, Liu An was no match for them, and Gu An did not kill those beings, but only rescued Liu An.

Liu An thought that it was a supernatural power that tore through space and time, and that he had stumbled upon this place by accident.

"My name is Liu An, and I come from the Southern Jiang Continent."

Liu An quickly replied. Seeing that Gu An had no intention of introducing himself, he mustered his courage and asked, "Senior, I promise to serve you as your slave for ten thousand years. Can I go and take revenge first? I'm afraid that after ten thousand years, my enemy will have reached the end of his life."

He spoke sincerely; that was truly his thought. Although the prospect of enduring thousands of years was agonizing, following such a transcendent being, even as a slave, would surely bring rewards. "You find yourself all alone in that world; what hatred could possibly be so urgent that you cannot wait to vent it?"

Gu An picked up the axe and answered casually as he chopped wood.

Liu An gritted his teeth and said, "That man killed someone who had been kind to me; I must take revenge."

"With your current cultivation level, you cannot take revenge."

Gu An's tone remained indifferent, but now carried an undeniable air of authority.

Liu An remained silent.

He began to weigh the pros and cons, whether or not to force his way out. But doing so would go against his principles, and besides, he might not even be able to escape.

"Let's build our own place on the island."

Gu An said slowly, and Liu An looked unwilling.

Even though he was unwilling, he did not choose to attack Gu An. He took a few steps forward, came to Gu An's side, and said, "Senior, shall I help you first?"

Gu An did not refuse. He handed the axe to him, instructed him to chop up the pile of wood in the yard, and then turned and left.

He stopped in front of the courtyard gate, as if he had remembered something. He turned to look at Liu An and smiled, "I almost forgot, you'll be an ordinary person on the island from now on."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve at Liu An. Liu An had no time to dodge and only felt a gentle breeze on his face.

The next second, his expression suddenly changed. His magic power dissipated, and not only that, his cultivation also vanished. He could no longer see inside his body, nor did he have any divine sense. Even his strength became weak.

Before he could speak, Gu An walked out of the courtyard.

Liu An opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to continue chopping wood.

As Gu An walked along the mountain path, he showed an appreciative expression. Although Liu An had entered the demonic path, his temperament was much more composed than Wei Ye's. Wei Ye, because of his experiences, was still innocent and full of ideals, while every choice Liu An made was after careful consideration.

Back when the two first arrived at the Heavenly Dao, Liu An's personality was much more unrestrained than Wei Ye's.

As time went by, their personalities seemed to have switched places.

Gu An began to look forward to what kind of storm Liu An would stir up when he returned to the Three Thousand Great Worlds tens of millions of years later.

He didn't calculate it, wanting to leave himself some suspense.

And so, day after day passed. Liu An, who had lost his cultivation, had no way to escape. He wanted to rely on his attitude to make Gu An let him go as soon as possible, but as time went on, even his best patience was about to be worn out.

Ten years later.

On a stormy night, Liu An came to the courtyard. He stood in front of the pavilion door and said through gritted teeth, "Senior, I beg you again, let me go back. I will definitely come back after I have taken my revenge!"

boom--

The thunder roared so loudly that even the sound of rain could not drown it out.

Gu An's voice drifted out from inside the house: "With your current abilities, how can you take revenge? Do you even know where you are? How will you get back after you go back?"
