AZI: Burial of a Selfish Lunatic

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

AZI Volume 6 Chapter 1

"What, you quitting the fight?"

Swapping out of his current attire for a black dress shirt and a pair of dark trousers, Long Hua approaches Yun You, and places a hand to his shoulder, while saying—

"Consider that half of the ruby a meeting gift. I'll be expecting you to return it in some other form later."

"Uh?"

Having said that, Long Hua walks right pass Yun You—much to the latter's confusion. 

Approaching Wu Xiao, Long Hua asks—

"Surnamed Mo, the hell you are doing here?"

"To spectate?"

"…? …Ah."

Turning around and watching the two's interaction, Yun You's confusion only increases, but momentarily, he widens his eyes at the realization of something. 

Lifting her hood backwards, Wu Xiao asks—

"So? Any noteworthy loot?"

"22 bottles of Spirit Extracts."

"Ah… Those things. Un, not interested."

"What exactly are they?"

Sipping her drink, Wu Xiao answers—

"Highly concentrated spirit Qi mixed with tribulation lightning energy—that is purified by the golden flames."

"Golden flames?"

Towards Long Hua's show of confusion, Wu Xiao shrugs her shoulders before raising her right hand towards him, causing the former to ask—

"What?"

"Shouldn't you be helping your dear wife up?"

With his guess confirmed, Yun You drops his tension-filled shoulders, and mutters—

"Ai… No wonder he expects that ruby back."

Tossing his shredded upper body wears aside, Yun You takes out a set of the same clothes, and swaps them on. 

Towards Wu Xiao's question, Long Hua replies—

"You got legs, do it yourself."

"How unfun."

Getting off the beach chair, and storing it away, Wu Xiao turns in the direction of the second mountain, and remarks—

"I heard everything is kept in that mountain?"

"You really think they would have left anything?"

"Worth a try, isn't it?"

Moving as a group, the three walk over to the cave that is to the side of the second mountain. 

...…

Entering the second mountain's chamber—

"…"

Wu Xiao slumps her shoulders with disappointment. 

For the most part, everything has been picked clean. As for the items that were still present, none of them had much value. 

Turning to Long Hua with a frown, Wu Xiao says—

"As proprietor of the restaurant, shouldn't you have done your best to plunder this place?"

"Too busy dealing with other stuff. …Hey, what would happen if I drank an extract?"

"They're not concocted with practitioners in mind. I doubt they'll do anything for you. Plus, the golden flames that purified them… Hmm, if you're not afraid of being reduced to ashes, feel free to take a sip."

Hearing this, Long Hua frowns, while thinking—

(Well, spirit Qi right now isn't of much use to me, since without the power of the five elements, I can't make a breakthrough anyways.)

Recalling this issue, Long Hua's frown deepens, as he asks—

"Help me sell them off later then?"

"I want a cut."

"Fine."

"…"

Seeing the business-like interaction between the two, Yun You can't help but tilt his head with a frown, while thinking—

(I guess elder sister's marriage really was just a way to keep an eye on him?)

"So? What exactly is your little brother doing here?"

As Long Hua turns the conversation's topic towards him, Yun You raises his head, and answers—

"That 500,000-year-old weapon spirit."

"Ah, that thing. Well, I didn't exactly see you do anything about it."

"…"

Clenching his fists, Yun You felt the urge to continue their unfinished fight. However, he cannot deny that he was completely useless against that weapon spirit. 

(Ai, the fragility of this world makes it impossible for us to use our full strength—not to mention how our current selves are only clones of our originals.)

Thinking of this, while recalling something, Yun You asks—

"There were three Ling Yuan family practitioners here before, were you the one who beat them up?"

"What about it?"

"From what I've heard of you, I figured that you would have killed them instead."

Towards Yun You's remark, Long Hua replies—

"You know the saying that a sheep's fur must be sheared a bit at a time? Letting them live, while inflicting them with a curse, which prevents them from talking about me, and having them report the abnormalities of this world back to their elders—in time, they'll send in more practitioners to investigate. And once they do, I can pick them off one at a time, and plunder their filled pouches."

Smiling in a venomous manner that is akin to a poisonous snake, Long Hua goes on to ask—

"Why temporarily settle for only three, when I can eventually settle for much more?"

"…"

Hearing this, Yun You twitches an eye. 

(This bastard is definitely the vicious sort.)

Thinking of this, Yun You asks—

"Aren't you afraid of me reporting about you then?"

"…"

Immediately, tension fills the air, as Long Hua and Yun You glare at each other. 

Widening his venomous smile, Long Hua remarks—

"If you really dare to do so, I don't mind letting you experience what it's like to fight me at my full strength."

As much as Long Hua hates to rely on that unpleasant individual's blessed strength, he will use it if the situation calls for it. 

(If I lose myself, and turn into a monster, I should be able to easily rip this world apart.)

"…"

Seeing the unsettling smile and gleam that is emanating from Long Hua's eyes, Yun You feels a bit disturbed. 

This smile is reminiscent of Bai Wen—the smile of someone who doesn't care about the world around them; and would happily drag the entirety of the world down to hell with them during death.
