The Scum Is A ***

Well, not exactly in the Bailong Kingdom, but technically in his and Cheng Sheng's world. The Feng Hua Palace was said to be the house of the Earth God, or the God of People. There's also the Light God, or commonly known as the God of Hope who lived in the heaven. And then the Dark God, or the God of Destruction who was wreaking havoc in the land. 

The Earth God was said to be a human who ascended and became a deity. The Earth God is perceived to be a woman because she is compassionate. The Feng Hua Palace was created by the people for her, and is filled with thousands of flowers which were raining down on the people every time the wind blows. The flowers raining down was interpreted as the Earth God blessing them.

But, for some unknown reason, the Feng Hua Palace was destroyed. He met Cheng Sheng there and he taught him how to be a mercenary. He didn't expect for Cheng Sheng to be the prince he failed to protect after he1 was removed as a knight and became a vagabond when Cheng Sheng's uncle – Cheng Shu, took over the throne after Cheng Sheng's father died.

He only found it was Cheng Sheng when they accidentally fell into the river and all the dirt in Cheng Sheng's body, especially his face, were washed clean. Then, he urged him to reclaim the throne.

They gathered their own people to fight the oppression of Cheng Shu. However, one day and Cheng Sheng suddenly disappeared. The next thing they know and Cheng Sheng was caught by Cheng Shu! Yu Sheng and their people immediately ran towards the kingdom, only for them to be intercepted and he fell in this world. He wanted to come back to save Cheng Sheng, but he was surprised to feel Cheng Sheng's presence in this world. When he found him and knew he lost his memories, he was mad at first since their efforts are wasted if Cheng Sheng wouldn't continue their goal. Thus, he beaten him up. However, he thought about it. Since they can't go back, then this life of theirs is better than before. But, he still didn't forget the fact that if they can go to this world, then Cheng Shu definitely can, too.

Cheng Shu… Yu Sheng balled his fists as he felt extreme loathing. Is he also here?! He thought as he vigilantly looked around. So the reason why I didn't see the portal to our world again is because it disappeared, only to reappear ten years after? He thought and bitterly smiled as he looked at the Feng Hua Palace.

When they gathered in the Feng Hua Palace, they didn't dare explore it since they felt they'd desecrate Hui Shen. Thus, they didn't know there's a Cleansing Stone inside.

However, the people of this world found it? He thought as he looked at Zheng Fu Gong. Wait. Could it be –

Zuo Zhe is as shocked as Yu Sheng. He thought it was only the spaces that collided. He didn't know time has also become erratic between the worlds. If the people in this world has been going to the Feng Hua Palace, they should have met Cheng Sheng and Yu Sheng who made the Feng Hua Palace as their base.

Paradox. This is the only conclusion to everything.

"You are really right." Cheng Shu told the beggar priest with him. It was the beggar priest who told him there'll be a portal in the Feng Hua Palace for him to follow Yu Sheng and Cheng Sheng. However, since time is erratic, they don't know when will he appear in the world they went to. They found out earlier when he arrived that ten years have already passed in this world since Yu Sheng and Cheng Sheng arrived.

"Since you've just left your world, you cannot go back immediately in there." The beggar priest told him.

"Why?" Cheng Shu asked.

"The space you left still recognize you as its inhabitant." The beggar priest answered.

"Shouldn't I can easily go back?" Cheng Shu asked.

"It's the opposite." The beggar priest answered. "Because you left it, it won't permit you to enter it again." He explained.

"What about Cheng Sheng and Yu Sheng?"

"They were recognized by this world as its inhabitant while your world forgotten them. One can only exist in one world." The beggar priest explained. "Thus, you have to wait for this world to recognize you and for your world to forget you." He told him.

"So, I can't kill them there?" Cheng Shu said when they saw the contestants have disappeared and flew towards the Feng Hua Palace with the help of the Cleansing Stone.

The beggar priest fell silent. "Wait for them to be alone, then you can kill them." He told him. "You can't make a ruckus here, or you'll be expelled by this world. Also – " he said as he looked at the Righteous Alliance's elders together with the sect leaders. " – you shouldn't underestimate these people. They might be stronger than you." He warned him.

Cheng Shu frowned but he didn't answer. He wore his mask before he left the beggar priest. The beggar priest emotionlessly watched the people until someone appeared beside him. "You're following me again." He told Bai Shen.

Bai Shen laughed and his golden hair fluttered. "I am interested with this big game you're playing." He told him.

The beggar priest frowned. "I am the game master. There's no place for you to play." He told Bai Shen. "Why did you leave your world?" he asked him.

"I thought you're omnipotent like me." Bai Shen said as he amusingly looked at the beggar priest. Seeing the beggar priest didn't answer, he laughed again. "When I finally had a place for your game, then, I'll tell you the reason." He told him and then disappeared.

The beggar priest's head ached. Why does Bai Shen have to leave his world? He thought. However, he trusts Bai Shen wouldn't mess around in this world. Bai Shen may look like an idle god, but he has principles.

"There they go…" You Rou said as everyone watched the 21 lights went inside the secret realm floating above them.

Zuo Zhe immediately checked Yu Sheng, Cheng Sheng, Fei Yin and the others' situation inside, but was shocked to find he was denied by the system. His eyes widened in surprise. What the – he thought. Could it be, because it was another world, thus he can't access it?! But, he's the one who wrote that world… he tried requesting for an access from the system.

System: Access denied.

Why?! Zuo Zhe yelled in his mind. I am that world's author!

System: Access denied.

Zuo Zhe's face darkened. System, have you finally broken? He thought as he cynically laughed in his mind. Meanwhile, Xiao Le, Lei Qing, Lei Ling and You Rou saw Zuo Zhe was creepily smiling with a dark face.

"… has he become broken?" Lei Ling asked. "He actually doesn't want for Yu Sheng to go, right?" he said.

"That must be it." The three nodded in agreement before they continued to watch from the Righteous Alliance's Cleansing Stone of what is happening inside the maze.

Secret realm, Feng Hua Palace.

The Feng Hua Palace is divided into two parts – above ground and underground. Both are labyrinths, and the labyrinths became more apparent after the palace was ruined.

Yu Sheng, even though he came from this world, but he isn't that confident he could find Cheng Sheng and the other and bring them to the Cleansing Stone where it's a safe place. Not to mention it's been a decade he last has been here, he didn't even know the Cleansing Stone exists in the Feng Hua Palace.

"Your Highness…" he muttered in the wind as he looked at the familiar yet also unfamiliar place. He looked around and saw the endless rubbles of what remained of the Feng Hua Palace. He sighed as he started to jump around them, looking for Cheng Sheng and the others.

"Yu Sheng!" he heard someone called from behind. He didn't turn. "Yu Sheng, did you hear me?!" they asked again.

Back to the Righteous Alliance, everyone was puzzled. "Why is Yu Sheng ignoring Jing Hei?" they asked when they saw in the Cleansing Stone Jing Hei was running after Yu Sheng and repeatedly called him.

Suddenly, they saw Yu Sheng finally turned, only for Jing Hei's head fall from his neck! Jing Rui abruptly rose from his chair and his chair toppled over.

That's not all. They watched with horrified expression as Yu Sheng chopped Jing Hei off to pieces! "Oh, my god!" the audience exclaimed while the contestants' fellow disciples were stunned.

"NO!" You Rou cried as she covered her eyes.

"What the hell is Yu Sheng doing?!" they all asked in puzzlement and shock.

"Could it be – " someone said when they saw Jing Rui's pale expression. However, he wasn't alarmed. "It was Jing Hei's impostor Yu Sheng killed?!"
