Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

"The burden of freeing our brothers and sisters should not fall on your shoulders alone. We all have a responsibility. And Holy Lord, no matter how you see him now, he is the bastard who ignores your efforts the most!"

"Don't think of me as a heartless bastard. You've heard what's in my heart now, what you perceive as my violence!"

Zhong and Su pounded their chests, their words like thunder piercing through the rain.

Zhou Lan listened.

I couldn't help but sigh.

Chapter 447 I Acknowledge Your Persistence

"what do you mean……"

"Are you feeling sorry for all I've done?"

Zhou Lan slowly opened her mouth and asked.

The two nodded emphatically, their eyes showing no fear.

He spoke the frank words he had forgotten, and confronted his past mistakes directly.

He has a clear conscience.

In the past, because of his irritability, everyone seemed to think he was a troublemaker who was not to be trifled with.

Being short-tempered does not mean being heartless.

He just kept it in his heart. As for the affection between brothers and sisters, who can honestly say that he doesn't care?

After a few words...

Zhou Lan stared intently at Zhong Su.

He suddenly realized that his younger brother, whom he had not liked in the past, seemed to be hiding the purest of thoughts.

He is indeed straightforward in his actions, but that cannot be used as a reason to deny his motives.

Zhou Lan couldn't detect any hint of lies from him.

These are heartfelt and sincere words, spoken from the bottom of one's heart.

"Now, I do not question your actions of bringing me here and taking away my power; in retrospect, I deserve it all."

"I rediscovered my true self here and also met some decent servants."

"But that is precisely why I am even more committed to my view of the Holy Lord."

As he spoke, Zhong Su looked at Zhou Lan with utmost seriousness.

"And you, brother? Do you now agree with my reasons?"

"Regarding your question, I, Zhong Su, can speak frankly. When I return, I will still confront the Holy Lord in person. If he does not cooperate, I will not give up speaking to him with my thunder."

The continuous exchange between China and the Soviet Union resonated deeply with Zhou Lan.

He had already understood the thoughts of China and the Soviet Union.

As the elder brother, he certainly wanted to maintain the relationship between his siblings, and it was precisely for this reason that he made those decisions in the past.

But the world is full of wonders.

He couldn't talk about which of his two previously troublesome brothers was at fault.

Unbeknownst to him, unnoticed by him, his younger brother, whom he intended to release last and whom he subconsciously ignored because he disliked his temper, was perhaps the one who cared about him the most.

Zhou Lan sighed.

"I understand now," he said wistfully.

“You…” Zhou Lan began, but then fell silent for a moment.

"Now that you have regained your true self, have you ever considered that the Holy Lord was once blinded by hell and even forgot his true name..."

"Heh—" Zhong Su snorted coldly, "Have you been blinded by hell and are now enjoying yourself outside, forgetting everything?"

“Perhaps your experience could also apply to him,” Zhou Lan said.

"indeed."

Surprisingly, both China and the Soviet Union nodded in agreement with Zhou Lan's statement.

But he quickly changed the subject, saying, "That's true, Hell has affected us, and I can understand that, but—"

“I have paid the price for my mistakes, as you have seen with your own eyes, but what about him?”

"Even though I can understand him, were all the extra effort you put in because of his past mistakes truly worthwhile?"

"Perhaps the gods of the past have returned, but how can the mistakes they made when bearing the name of the Holy Lord simply vanish?"

“Since he left, I have been remembering those things bit by bit in hell for thousands of years, but I have never forgotten them.”

“But, brother,” Zhong Su waved his hand and said sincerely, “I believe you, I believe everything you have said and everything you have seen. Now I no longer want to fight him to the death. I only beg you to give me a chance, a chance to confront him and question him about his past face to face.”

"This is my only request."

The two spoke sincerely, and Zhou Lan listened silently.

At that moment, he suddenly realized.

He was determined to help the Chinese and Soviet Union learn to be more understanding and virtuous here, to temper their hostility and irritability, and to help them rediscover the true nature of the Thunder Demon.

That was indeed achieved.

But what he didn't know was that Zhong Su, the Thunder Demon who had rediscovered his true self, became even more determined in his thoughts.

As the elder brother, he may have overlooked too much.

But now, faced with the utmost sincerity from both China and the Soviet Union, he could no longer ignore their heartfelt words.

Gentleness is not the only way to maintain this relationship that is so precious to the Moon Demon.

Some things just need to be released.

The bond between brothers is not always one of intimacy and affection; conflicts are inevitable.

Even brothers in the mortal world will fight each other, and what truly tests a relationship is whether they can still recognize each other's brotherhood after the struggle.

And now, both China and the Soviet Union have indeed realized this.

As his elder brother, Zhou Lan had no right to ignore the grievances he had suffered in the past.

From a parent's perspective, he inevitably finds himself in this situation.

The two younger brothers, both of whom had been kept in the dark in the past, each annoyed the other, but this conflict could not be ignored.

As his only elder brother, he was deeply respected and loved by his two younger brothers.

Even the one who was extreme and irritable, namely Zhong Su, was motivated by another rebellious brother who had caused him, the elder brother, to expend more effort.

"Wow... what a long and winding road..." Zhou Lan couldn't help but exclaim.

He thought the least likable guy was actually the one who cared about him the most.

“No wonder, no wonder…” Zhou Lan murmured.

Back then, on that street, when Saul asked the Chinese and Soviet leaders about their impressions of him, their answers were so detailed and nuanced.

Heaven have mercy, the Thunder Demon in Hell has forgotten even his own true self, yet he still remembers so much about his elder brother.

Looking into her younger brother's eyes, which were as clear as a lake, Zhou Lan could only sigh.

"In the end, it was a good outcome," he murmured. "As for your persistence, I also acknowledge it."

“Let’s go back for now. As for the Holy Lord, perhaps you do need to question each other. I agree.”

"But the condition is that you must stay within my sight and not die or be injured."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Su straightened his chest and said earnestly, "Don't worry, I am no longer the ignorant demon I once was. I believe he can understand me, but this conflict should be resolved."

“Very good,” Zhou Lan nodded in response.

In Asgard, Zhou Lan and Zhong Su suddenly appeared in the eyes of the father and his two sons.

"You're back!" Thor's eyes lit up, and he asked the Chinese and Soviet leaders.

He suddenly noticed that Zhong and Su's faces were filled with serious expressions that he couldn't understand.

"What's wrong?" Thor asked with concern.

Subconsciously, he put himself in the position of China and the Soviet Union, thinking that he had been scolded by his parents.

"It's nothing, I just need to leave for a while," Zhong Su said calmly.

"Leave? Where are you going!" Solton was immediately startled.

Zhong Su glanced at Saul and suddenly smiled, "Don't worry, my servant, your master is just going on a long trip. What are you so worried about?"

Solton's face fell immediately; this guy had caught him off guard and was mocking him again.

He crossed his arms and said nonchalantly, "You're overthinking it. I was just asking because I'm finally home and I didn't want you to be disappointed when I shared my honors."

"That would be for the best." Zhong Su smiled and said nothing more.

The next instant, a golden door suddenly appeared in Asgard.

Zhou Lan turned to look at Odin: "It's just a temporary departure, don't overthink it. What's meant to be yours won't be lost."

"What kind of talk is this..." Odin's expression froze.

Meanwhile, in another world.

A guy who was enjoying his life in his mansion suddenly sat up.

"I have a bad feeling about this," the Holy Lord suddenly murmured, his brows furrowed.

Chapter 448 Thunder and Fire Battle

The original world.

The Holy Lord paced back and forth in his mansion.

The ominous premonition that arose in his heart for no apparent reason was certainly not unfounded.

After all, he has already become so powerful.

What the Holy Lord didn't know was that Zhou Lan had already understood Zhong Su's thoughts and was willing to let the two brothers make a decision.

Just as he was puzzled, a familiar wave descended nearby.

The Holy Lord's eyes lit up immediately.

He sensed Zhou Lan's presence; she was back.

In an instant, the Holy Lord vanished from his original spot and reappeared where the aura fluctuated.

Who else could it be but Zhou Lan?

He was standing gracefully in front of a golden door when he saw the Holy Lord arrive. Zhou Lan smiled and glanced at him.

“Strange…” The Holy Lord stroked his chin, thinking to himself, “My brother’s reaction is not right.”

However, the proper etiquette still had to be observed, so the Holy Lord quickly said to Zhou Lan, "Brother, you're back."

“That’s right.” Zhou Lan nodded slightly.

"Where is that guy? Have we subdued him yet?" The second person the Holy Lord thought of was China and the Soviet Union.

“Well…” Zhou Lan suddenly began to choose his words, then looked at the Holy Lord with a slight smile, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

"Hmm?" The Holy Lord suddenly frowned, his face full of confusion.

There's a hidden meaning in what you said, brother.

But the next second, his doubts were resolved.

The golden door did not disappear; an armored hand gripped the edge of the door firmly.

The Holy Lord suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, the heads of the Chinese and Soviet entities emerged from the doorway.

The moment his vision returned, he keenly spotted the Holy Lord's figure.

Zhong Su's voice was as loud as thunder, and his tone was completely unwavering as he addressed the Holy Lord: "Holy Lord, I have come back to find you again."
