In Penglai West, on Golden Turtle Island, Chen Shi recalled the time he had stretched his head beneath the executioner's axe and couldn't help but feel a wave of lingering fear. When he was without his humanity, he felt no fear. But with humanity came fear and attachment, and he understood what it was to be afraid.
His demonic nature and his humanity had always coexexisted, both a part of him. In his state of absolute demonic nature, he dared to bet that the Great Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable would not dare to chop off his head. But in his human state, he dared not make such a wager.
Winning the bet would only bring a moment of secret satisfaction, a chance to curse the Great Heavenly Venerable as a coward, but losing the bet would cost him his life.
"Husband, did you truly not leave any loopholes in the Primordial Talismans?"
Little Linden Fairy came to him and asked, "Grandfather is very worried about this, afraid you will become another Mr. Huaiyi." Chen Shi smiled.
"Of course not. Grandfather left precisely because he knew I didn't leave any loopholes. You can rest assured as well, Wife. There are absolutely no loopholes in your Primordial Talismans."
Little Linden Fairy smiled.
