I was unwilling, but I couldn't stop anything. I didn't even have the power to fight Xiao Zhulong, so how could I stop the battle between the Heavenly God and the demon dragon?

My body temperature dropped further. Every time I moved my fingers, I could hear the sound of ice cracking.

The demon dragon, burning with flames, approached step by step with supreme heat. Before the battle even started, I was already on the verge of death from the torment of ice and fire.

Finally, they clashed. I didn't see the end of the battle, but I vaguely felt myself transforming into a warrior in armor. The demon dragon roared at the end:

"Even if I can't destroy your true body, Wu Tianzi, at least I'll destroy this one soul of yours in the human world. From now on, you'll never be able to interfere in human affairs again. You can just stay in your Heavenly Court and be your great Wu Tian God. I'll make sure you can never interfere in the human world, so even if the human world is in chaos, you can only watch with wide eyes and do nothing!"

"Monster, I will trap you in the Mí Tiān Realm forever, never to be reborn! You want to start a war and bring disaster to the human world? Don't even think about it!"

"Hahahaha, hahahaha!" The demon dragon laughed up to the sky. "Wu Tianzi, you are truly laughable. The human world will have its own chaos, why would I need to incite it? Wu Tianzi, you still don't understand the human heart! Have you forgotten how you failed last time? You still want to be shot full of arrows next to the Great King's corpse? Hahahaha..."

I didn't know what happened after that. Under the double attack of ice and fire, my brain quickly lost consciousness. In a daze, I seemed to see my rabbits jumping around, Eighth Miss making hand seals and chanting something, and Yin婆婆 (Yin Popo) constantly drawing talismans on a wall.

I didn't know if these were real or hallucinations. This hazy state lasted for a long time before I finally opened my eyelids.

The first thing I saw was a huge, white, unidentified object flying rapidly towards my brow. I instinctively tilted my head to avoid it, and then I saw Ding Kan's smiling face.

"What are you doing? Why are you throwing things at me?" I glared at Ding Kan and questioned him. "I almost died, and I'm lying in bed injured. Instead of taking care of me, you're throwing things at me? Are you even human?"

"Of course, I'm human. I'm doing this to help you recover," Ding Kan said righteously.

"Bullshit! I've never heard of treating illnesses by throwing things at people!"

"Well, today you've heard of it. Your rabbits taught me. If you don't believe me, ask them."

Of course, I had to ask. How could I just believe Ding Kan?

But the answer I got after asking was that Ding Kan was indeed helping me recover. I had been in a coma for two weeks. Boss Xu had sent me back. The problem with his mansion had been solved.

The voltage in the provincial capital had been a little unstable during that time, which caused the images displayed by the medical equipment to have problems. The women's pregnancy reports were all misdiagnoses. The hospital apologized and compensated for this matter, almost bankrupting several hospitals. In the end, Boss Xu generously paid for them, and those hospitals were able to get through the crisis.

I had put myself in this state to handle the case, and Boss Xu felt very bad about it. He gave me a million, and Ding Kan took it on my behalf.

Then, all the evil spirits in the shop, the neighbors in the funeral street, and Ding Kan worked together to rescue me. After tireless efforts, my physical condition finally stabilized, but I remained unconscious, with no signs of waking up.

So, the rabbits came up with an idea for Ding Kan to throw white cotton balls at me every day until I reacted.

According to the rabbits, this was a good idea that killed two birds with one stone. On the one hand, it could allow Ding Kan, who was also recovering, to get exercise, and on the other hand, it could stimulate my body and help me wake up as soon as possible.

I glanced at the ping-pong balls all over the floor and the racket in Ding Kan's hand. "Are you sure you're throwing cotton balls? I feel like you've deformed my face."

"With a clear conscience, was it easy for me these past few days to save you? I haven't even mentioned that my arm has gotten thicker. You still have the nerve to say your face is swollen? You're really ungrateful. Don't expect me to help you next time something happens."

"It's not like I asked you for help this time! Where's the million that Boss Xu gave me?"

"It's with me."

"Give it to me!"

"Hmph, hmph hmph, you think you can take the money that's already in my pocket? You probably don't even know how to write the word 'greedy', do you? Anyway, you're a bachelor, and you don't have any use for money. I'll keep this million for you temporarily."

"Meeting you is the worst luck I've had in eight lifetimes."

I cursed and went to the basement again. The ice coffin was gone, and even the water had almost dried up. Only some damp traces remained on the ground. The contents of the ice coffin had disappeared completely.

"Do you think what was in the ice coffin was really Wu Qi?" I asked Ding Kan, who had followed me.

"What makes you say that?"

I told Ding Kan about my experience in the provincial capital. Ding Kan nodded and said, "There is indeed a possibility."

We didn't understand the history of the Heavenly Court, but Wu Qi was recorded in history books. Judging from the demon dragon's last sentence, that one soul of Wu Tianzi in the human world was likely Wu Qi.

Wu Qi was a very legendary figure, an outstanding general and prime minister, but because of some flaws in his character, he was slandered and insulted by Confucian scholars for more than two thousand years.

Throughout the long history, Confucianism has always dominated this land, and Wu Qi was a Confucian outcast, not tolerated by Confucianism, and was nailed to the pillar of shame by Confucian scholars for killing his wife to gain a generalship and not returning home for his mother's funeral.

But even so, it couldn't shake his status as a sub-sage of the military. It could be seen how awesome this person's talent was.

Sun Wu Han Bai, Han Xin and Bai Qi had to be ranked behind him.

When Wu Qi reformed in the state of Chu, some old nobles sought revenge on him after King Dao of Chu died. He could only run to the side of King Dao's corpse for protection, but in the end, he was still shot to death by the nobles, which was the same as what the demon dragon said at the end.

Wu Tianzi could sacrifice his own son in order to fight for power in the Heavenly Court, and Wu Qi could sacrifice his own wife in order to obtain the position of great general. This style of doing things was really not ordinary.

As for whether they did this for the sake of the people of the world or for their own achievements, no one knew. Perhaps even they themselves couldn't say for sure.

How should heroes be defined? Who can be recognized by everyone?

Perhaps Wu Tianzi really saved the Heavenly Court, or perhaps even without him, others would have used other methods to resolve the crisis. History has no ifs, so who can say what is right and wrong?

However, in the eyes of Mi Tianying and Zhulong, Wu Tianzi was a complete demon, a vicious demon who devoured his own children.
