I began an endless slaughter and devouring.

The remaining gods and buddhas in the sky were all slaughtered and absorbed by me one by one.

I became increasingly powerful, but also more lost.

No one can help me answer the question of who I really am.

I passed by Mount Huashan several times, where Yang Chan's voice still echoed, constantly calling me to break through the Huashan and save her.

I became more and more curious about what was inside, deceiving me for so many years.

Even though I possess the power of countless gods and buddhas, I still cannot break through the Huashan formation.

I need that axe.

I encountered Sun Wukong again, my master.

He embraced me and said with concern, "Silly child, you've suffered."

I cried uncontrollably.

I asked him, "Master, where is that axe exactly?"

"It's inside your heart."

My master pointed to my chest, his eyes filled with conviction.

I didn't understand.

Just as I was about to ask further, his breath gradually weakened, and he fell into my arms.

"Child, how I wish to become him, the unrivaled, arrogant Great Sage. But in the end, I am not him..."

Six ears grew on the sides of his head, and the residual spiritual power within him diminished.

"Master! Who...who am I? Do you know?"

He smiled, "You are you, and everything. You are the root without roots, the source without source. Follow your heart, and everything will be fine, child."

My master died.

The only person in this world who cared for me has left me.

"Devour him!" Liu Yanchang suddenly shouted.

Then, my other two heads also yelled, "Yes! Devour him! Absorb him!"

I angrily chopped off Liu Yanchang's nose, "He is my master! How can I eat him?"

Liu Yanchang sneered, "By devouring him, you can defeat the Tathagata! The Tathagata knows everything, so he must know where that axe is!"

I suddenly realized and opened up my master's chest, sucking his blood and gnawing on his heart.

Xiao Tianquan whimpered beside me, "Master, what has happened to you?"

I sighed heavily, "Perhaps I have never truly been awake."

I looked at Xiao Tianquan, drooling from the corners of my mouth.
