The Undying Immortal System

After disappearing from Mount Jiang, I immediately headed north. Our attackers wouldn’t have had time to scour the surrounding villages yet, and I needed to work fast before that happened.

My first stop was the small city where we had resettled SuYin’s family. I wanted to talk to them, to explain what was going on, but I wasn’t willing to spend the time that would require. I simply shoved sleeping pills into everyone’s mouths and threw them into my storage space.

Following this, I used my wind horse to make a quick circuit of the Wastes.

Once the invaders learned that we were missing, I was certain that they would go looking for people’s families to try to find out where we had gone. If possible, I wanted to prevent that from happening. So, I ran around the Wastes and grabbed all of them that I could.

With each group I grabbed, I didn’t stop to ask questions or explain why I had come. I just sent everyone to sleep and shoved them into one of the subterranean chambers of my storage space. They might not thank me for this, but they would at least survive to be angry with me.

Was all this necessary? Wouldn’t all these people vanish and come right back after my death?

I didn’t know.

Did the world end when I died, or did it persist? Based on what I had seen from Mei’s and Emperor Li’s blessings, I had begun to believe it was the former, but I was not willing to take that risk without being certain. Saving these people might have been meaningless, but it was what I needed to do.

Once these families were accounted for, I turned north and headed for the Verdant Forest Sect.
