Penglai West, on Golden Turtle Island, Chen Shi recalled once putting his head beneath the axe, and couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.
Without humanity, he was unafraid.
But once he had humanity, fear and reluctance emerged, and he learned to be scared.
His demonic nature and human nature have always coexisted, both parts of him, but in an absolute demonic state, he dared to bet that the Jade Emperor wouldn't dare to chop off his head. Yet, in a human state, he wouldn't dare to take that gamble.
Winning the bet brought secret delight and the thought of cursing the Heavenly Venerate as cowardly, but losing would cost him his life.
"Did you truly leave no loopholes in the Primordial Talisman?"
Little Dun Fairy came searching and asked, "Grandfather is very worried about this, afraid you'll turn into another Mr. Huaiyi."
