The Unruly Immortals

Seeing Li Huowang's shocked expression, Gao Zhijian also grew anxious, knowing that Zuo Qiuyong was now an ally on the same boat.

Now, this powerful ally, Fate Commander, died unexpectedly without any warning, which undoubtedly added to the already dire situation.

"Brother Li, take me back quickly!"

"Wait for me! Wait for a moment! I know who to ask now! I can find the answer!"

Li Huowang spoke while sitting cross-legged, clutching his head with all his might as if trying to crush his own skull, meanwhile continuously concentrating his thoughts.

"I am Seven Wheels, I am Seven Wheels now, I must be Seven Wheels now!"

Compared to before, this attempt seemed extremely difficult and remarkably clumsy.

After who knows how long, Li Huowang suddenly opened his eyes and saw Qing Wanglai among others, arms crossed, watching him—it worked, he was back.

"San Qing! You hold the secret! Tell me! How did Zuo Qiuyong really die? Where did his growth Heavenly Dao go?"

Faced with Li Huowang's urgent questioning, Qing Wanglai did not speak. He turned to speak quietly with Zhao Shuangdian beside him.

Observing Qing Wanglai's behavior and then seeing the expressions of the others, Li Huowang finally realized that something was off.

When he looked down at his own body, he felt a thunderous shock hit him.

"Why are you tying me up? Let me go! What do you think you're doing tying me up?"

He was bound just as he had been in the mental hospital before, firmly restrained without a finger able to move.

Given his current plight, he could no longer care about Zuo Qiuyong's death.

"Calm down!" a slap landed on the back of Li Huowang's head, delivered by Ba Nanxu.

"Spouting madness, running into the street, rummaging through kids' homework—how could we not bind you? Took great efforts to get you out, are you intending to send yourself back in?"

"What?!" Li Huowang was incredulous, connecting the previous clumsiness, a terrifying thought crossed his mind. "Am I regressing to the previous state again? Am I indistinguishable again?"

Bound tightly, Li Huowang lay on the bed thinking for a long time but had to accept the reality.

Everything returned to before, his actions on the other side would also be repeated in this world, all stemming from that button.

"Could it be that I'm too clear-headed now?" Li Huowang muttered incredulously to himself.

He remembered Yi Donglai's treatment and his two distinct memories belonging to both sides in his mind, and the more he thought, the more his head ached.

"This can't be—this absolutely can't be! Both sides must be separated, otherwise, there will be no cooperation between the two."

He hadn't expected Fusheng Heaven's techniques to be so cunning and bizarre, that the button's effect was akin to poisoning, making actions extremely difficult.

He was Ji Zai, in charge of the misled Heavenly Dao, needing to maintain it constantly, but now the other side broke that balance.

With a battle looming, he must return to his previous state; otherwise, facing off against Fusheng Heaven would be like self-amputation.

"What happened exactly during that time over there?" Zhao Shuangdian stepped forward to ask. Her serious expression made it clear she did not regard Li Huowang's actions as mere outbursts.

"It's Fusheng Heaven Fate Commander's attack! That old beggar's button—even though he's already dead, his attack still affects me!!"

"Back when we clashed, this situation already occurred; I just didn't expect the influence would be continuous."

Li Huowang explained his thinking about Zuo Qiuyong's death and his current passive situation to Zhao Shuangdian.

After understanding Li Huowang's full story, Zhao Shuangdian started typing on the keyboard, as if calculating something.

Once aware that Li Huowang was entirely lucid, others stepped forward to release his bindings.

However, Li Huowang showed no joy despite being freed, feeling instead gradually aligned with his past self.

"Zhijian, find a rope to bind me like before."

Now he could see Gao Zhijian, though his presence appeared blurry and continued to fade.

Upon seeing Gao Zhijian find the vines and securely tie him up, Li Huowang finally sighed with relief and asked Zhao Shuangdian, "What did you figure out in your view of the world?"

Zhao Shuangdian stopped typing, neither nodding nor shaking her head. "I've calculated some things about the Zuo Qiuyong you mentioned; leave it to me."

In reality, Li Huowang had already prioritized Zuo Qiuyong's matters behind, given his own pressing issues.

After all, Zuo Qiuyong was dead but he was still alive; regardless of Zhao Shuangdian's Fate Commander status, as she said she'd handle it, he could focus on solving his own problems.

"Alright, you handle Zuo Qiuyong, but what about my issue? Have you calculated a solution?"

Facing Li Huowang's question, Zhao Shuangdian responded with a question. "How did you deal with the situation last time?"

"Last time? Last time I received treatment from Yi Donglai," Li Huowang answered.

"Then use the same parameters and experiment again; if he cured you before, he can cure you now—go find him."

The words brought an uneasy expression to Li Huowang's face, "I know Doctor Yi can heal me, but given the current situation, do you think he will help?" he said, waving his severed arm.

Though wrapped up well, the hand was completely gone.

Li Huowang could fully envisage Doctor Yi's reaction upon seeing his severe injury; he'd absolutely think Li Huowang was entirely insane, utterly beyond help.

"Having someone assist you isn't a big deal; we can help think of a way together," Wu Qi spoke up, to which Ba Nanxu added, "Does he have family? Kidnap someone to threaten him?"

"What is all this! Are we kidnappers? Do you really want to draw attention?"

Li Huowang seemed slightly agitated, given that Doctor Yi heartily aided him; yet, the group approached him as they would a foe.

After seriously contemplating for a moment, Li Huowang devised a plan. "I could attempt to bring him over to meet all of you."

"As long as he understands us and sees what we've gone through, I believe his upright nature will compel him to help me."

Previously, Yi Donglai always considered Li Huowang's visions as Huan Jue delusions, believing everything perceived was false. But if irrefutable evidence were shown to him, Yi Donglai's thoughts might shift.
