A Journey Against the World
Chapter 161

Many humans stood in front of a magnificent seven-story building, which they called the 'Seven Twin Pagodas'. The humans in droves wanted to enter the pagoda in order to get out of the Eternal Land which they thought was the world of hell. But, they all did not enter because they were blocked by a transparent protector. Already many of them tried to break into the protector, still no one could destroy it.

As long as they kept trying to damage the transparent protector, there were only two people who were casually observing all of them who kept trying to break the protector instead of helping out. Their super relaxed attitude makes them upset, because they have no intention of helping or just encouraging.

"Do you two not want to get out of this cursed world?!"

"Of course I will."

"Then why don't you guys help us break that damn barrier."

"Because I don't want to."

"You! Goddamnit!" The man growled at last to throw his punch at a beautiful girl in front of him. But his punch was blocked for a moment suddenly appeared a man in black clothes caught his fist.

The man was startled and immediately walked away then ran away from having to deal with the black-clothed man who had just blocked his blow. Since he knew the man he would not be able to defeat, enough he saw from the look of the man in the suit was quite keenly intimidating him.

The girl chuckled, seeing that the man who was about to hit her had already run away in fear, "Tsakuya, it seems like you need to change your face? Because not infrequently of those who see you must end in fear," said the girl as she cupped her chin to look at a man named Tsakuya.

Tsakuya turned around, looking at the girl who was looking at him mischievously. Tsakuya sighed softly, "Sorry, right now you better avoid a pointless fight," Tsakuya explained making the girl grunt softly.

"Yet the same reason. Aren't you tired of warning me for the same reason?" The girl rolled her eyes, tired of hearing Tsakuya forbid her to fight. Though he is the type of man who really likes to fight from before he came to this world.

Tsakuya walked up to the girl and leaned against the tree that the girl was also leaning against, "You should remember, your strength can provoke a lot of trouble." Again for the same reason again, making the girl sneer without a sound.

"You're more of an arrangement than your brother, Tsakuya. I miss your narcissistic sister." The girl chuckled, remembering the times that made her happy. But in an instant, those times were replaced with things he never expected. Tsakuya comes to be his bodyguard. No, it might be more like an older brother watching over his sister from problems that should never have happened.

"Then why don't you"

"Because I want her to take care of someone for me," the girl interrupted quickly, she was still staring to the side, unaware that Tsakuya was looking at her intently.

Tsakuya sighed softly, she had already heard that reason for the second time. And it felt like she was quite jealous because the girl trusted her brother more than she had saved him from the brink of death.

"You make me jealous," Tsakuya said honestly, even she also let out a sad expression, not lying with her words.

The girl turned around, looking at Tsakuya in disbelief. According to him, a Tsakuya whom he had known all along suddenly revealed his heart to him. Unlike usual, he was always calm and relaxed.

"Did I not hear wrong? A Tsakuya jealous of her own sister? Bhahahaha .. You make me want to vomit to hear it." The girl let out a laugh, holding her stomach that was amused by Tsakuya's words. As for Tsakuya, she was getting annoyed at the attitude of the girl, even though she was not joking, she was indeed really jealous of her Brother.

Just as the girl continued to laugh, came a horde of young men who instantly became the center of everyone's attention. Especially for the men who are interested in the beauty of one of the girls in the entourage, while the women are intrigued by a handsome man who is also a group with the beautiful girl.

Tsakuya also immediately looked at the newly arrived entourage, her eyes fixed on the beautiful girl who was in the spotlight of all the men's eyes. Tsakuya is not interested because of the beauty of the girl, but because her master is interested in the beautiful girl.

"Look, he's come" Tsakuya said. Just wanted to tell him that the girl they were waiting for had arrived.

The girl stopped laughing, her gaze was also instantly fixed on the swarm that was the center of everyone's attention. The girl snorted softly accompanied by a thin smile that began to expand. He propped up his chin, looking at the black-clothed handsome man who was in the spotlight of all the women.

"Let's see what they're gonna do."

***

Zusami and the others instantly became the spotlight of everyone when they arrived at the area the Seven Twin Pagodas were in. Despite being in the spotlight of many people they continued walking towards the Seven Twin Pagodas, not caring about the gazes that people threw.

"So it's the Seven Twin Pagodas?" Xiu An was stunned to see a magnificent seven-story building. A pagoda building made of pure white jade without the slightest dirt, was, he also felt that the pagoda was a sacred and sacred place because the pagoda gave off an aura that warmed up enough to anyone who saw it.

Not only was Xiu An stunned, the others felt the same way, except for Zusami and Shua Xie, they both still looked as calm as ever. Qixuan was intending to approach the pagoda, but she had just walked a few steps, suddenly her body bounced around like something was pushing from the front.

All were shocked to see Qixuan suddenly bounce off. Xiu An and Yue Jian directly helped Qixuan get back on her feet.

"Chairman, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Qixuan replied weakly, her gaze immediately fixed on the majestic Pagoda, "It seems like there is a transparent protector protecting the pagoda," she explained which instantly made them all stare at the pagoda.

Shua Xie approached the place that had previously made Qixuan bounce, she raised her hand to reach out to something in front of her. And sure enough, something like an electric shock immediately stung his hand, Shua Xie suddenly pulled back his hand while moving away.

"Yes, I can feel there is a protective spell protecting this pagoda. Pretty strong spell." Shua Xie also expressed his opinion, 'Even I was surprised because of the power of that protective spell.' And again in his heart.

Yue Jian closed his mouth, starting to panic knowing their only way home was sheltered by a great force. Even Shua Xie who was the most powerful figure among them praised the power of that protective spell. Then it's likely that Shua Xie will have a hard time breaking that protective spell.

"Are we not going home?"

"No way! There's no way they'd intentionally get us into this world if they knew the way home was so hard to get through. There must be another way to break that barrier."

"But how?"

"I don't know, but I wish Shua Xie more."

"Yes, Shua Xie can definitely destroy it."

"Of course, Shua Xie is really strong."

All of them looked at Shua Xie, hoping that big on the girl could help them return home to their world. Shua Xie felt burdened with their gazes, after all he felt no obligation to look after all of them. But looking at the gazes of all of them, it slightly opened its heart to help them.

"Why do you expect me? What if I can't break that barrier?" Shua Xie grumbled, slightly displeased that he should be charged with this kind of task.

"Because you're the strongest among us. We believe you can break that barrier," Yue Jian said with hope.

"Yes, I must admit, even though I'm upset with you, I have high hopes for your strength." Kiseki added, without looking at Shua Xie because he was still upset by the attitude of Shua Xie who lately acted so arrogant. In addition, Shua Xie was also the one who amputated his hand even though his intentions helped him survive death.

"Yes, I hope for you too." Xiu An smiled at Shua Xie.

"I am too."

"Hem! I'm also."

"Actually I don't want to say this, but since they all hope for you, inevitably I must do the same. I hope for you too." Juan Yu looked at the other side, his own prestige with his pleading words to Shua Xie.

Instead of feeling touched by the words of all those who wished for her more, Shua Xie felt burdened. He was just worried, what if he couldn't grant their expectations? Shua Xie already felt that the protective spell was extremely powerful, not even he was sure that it could destroy it.

"I, too, hope as they do." Fang Xin also added. All eyes were instantly fixed on him, perhaps they just did not believe a Prince would also wish on someone like Shua Xie. All that is natural, in a situation like this it would be better to think of life than prestige. In situations like this prestige, treasures and thrones were no longer needed, only strong people were needed.

Shua Xie walked in looking for a better position so that his attack on the protector could work better. After finding a good position, Shua Xie instantly unleashed his strength, a spell attack technique that used a difficult formation.

"The Matra-Fire Technique of the Sun!"

A huge fire attack of heat instantly shot out against the protector. Immediately there was a vibration that made everyone panic and fear. Those who were standing quite far away from Shua Xie instantly approached, wanting to see if Shua Xie could break that protector or not. But surely they were hoping Shua Xie could crack it.

Duars!!

The sound of an explosion echoed loudly accompanied by a puff of smoke that began to cover the view. But the instant that puff of smoke disappeared was swept away by the gales of wind that came out from Qixuan's sword. And they saw that the protector was still standing firm without getting the slightest damage.

Shua Xie did not remain silent even though his first attack failed. He re-launched a powerful spell attack that gave rise to hundreds of purple-colored spirit weapons with a dense aura. Hundreds of spirit weapons were immediately launched hitting the protector. The shaking and the sound of explosions happened again.

Duars!!

Bam!!

The bomb!!

The srahs!!

Everyone nearby was panicking, the reason the ground they were on was shaking quite strongly, even knocking out most of them. They stared at Shua Xie with all sorts of glances, deeply stunned to learn that a girl like Shua Xie had such great power.

But unfortunately the attack was still not enough to damage or even scuff the protector.

Shua Xie became furious because the protector was not scuffed in the slightest even though he had attacked with powerful moves. Shua Xie again launched various forms of moves and attacks to destroy the protector. It did not matter that the humans around him could do almost nothing but fear seeing his superhuman strength.

But even though Shua Xie had already attacked the protector with all sorts of his strongest attacks, it was still not able to damage or even scuff the protector. Until finally Shua Xie became exhausted from constantly attacking. He fell to his knees on the ground with disordered breathing.

'I thought I wouldn't be able to destroy that protector! Shit!' Shua Xie hit the ground, annoyed and angry that he was unable to break the protector.

Everyone calmed back down after Shua Xie stopped his attack. All were surprised to see the protector still standing firm without getting the slightest scuff. Though Shua Xie had launched a massive attack that even made the land around him fall apart. But still can't afford to damage that protector.

"Shua Xie, can't destroy it? How'this? Is it possible that we won't be able to return home from this world?" Yue Jian returned in panic, his mind gradually deteriorating after seeing that Shua Xie was unable to destroy the protector.

"No way! Even Shua Xie had taken out the entire nurse, but why was that protector still indestructible?" Qixuan was stunned, not knowing what else to do if Shua Xie alone was unable to destroy that protector, let alone him and the others?

"Aren't you strong, Shua Xie?! But why can't you destroy that fucking protector!?" Juan Yu shouted, panicking and not accepting that Shua Xie could not destroy the protector, "However you should be able to open it! You are the strongest among us all! I want to go home! I don't want to stay here forever!" Juan Yu approached Shua Xie, intending to order the girl to again destroy the protector in any way as long as the protector could be destroyed. He did not want to be confined in this damned world. But Zusami appeared and directly blocked him.

"Don't be selfish, you think you're the only one who doesn't want to be locked up in this world? They all want to go home. But you can't force someone who can't do it."

"Surge you fucking! I don't want him to stop, I want him to keep trying to destroy that protector." Juan Yu intends to fight Zusami so that the man does not get in his way. But Genji and the others stopped him immediately.

"Are you out of your mind, Juan Yu? You can't force Shua Xie!  He's been trying so hard, if he can't we can't force him!" tegur Genji advises Juan Yu. But if man has been possessed by his selfishness, advice alone will not be enough to stop him.

"Then do you want to keep this world? Don't you want to go out? Was it wrong for me to act selfishly to preserve my life? Genji, be aware, in this world there are no unselfish humans! They are all selfish and only attach importance to their own desires. They will do everything to achieve what they want!" Juan Yu looked at everyone around him, "I asked you! Don't you want to get out of this damned world?!"

Juan Yu's question made a sudden atmosphere of silence.

"I want out!" One of the many people that Juan Yu asked replied.

"I want to get out too!"

"Yes! Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"I'm the same!"

"Me too!"

One by one they began to answer in agreement with Juan Yu. I'm sorry if they acted selfishly this time, but all this is to save their lives. If you have to inflame someone, why not do it as long as their lives continue?

Selfish? Yes, because that's basically human nature. There will come a time when they will act selfishly for their own sake.

"But does it have to sacrifice someone?" Genji was still siding with Shua Xie, he just couldn't bear it if the poor girl became the sacrifice of their selfishness.

"Sorry, Genji, I think what Juan Yu said is true. I'm sorry if I was selfish this time." Xiu An lowered his head, not daring to show his face as he was not siding with Shua Xie. Yue Jian covered his mouth in surprise, not expecting Xiu An to stand in Juan Yu's position.

"Xiu An .. are you?"

"Sorry, Yue Jian. I just want to go home. The world is cruel, and there are no good men in this world."

Besides Xiu An siding with Juan Yu, Yurui also sided with him. While Juan Yu, Genji and Qixuan were on Shua Xie's side. Likewise with Zusami, even though he was actually quite upset with Shua Xie. But because quite a number of people were on Juan Yu's side, they lost votes to those who kept urging Shua Xie to keep trying to destroy the protector.

"Shua Xie, you must still destroy it until the protector is destroyed!!"

"Yes, you're our only hope right now!"

"Don't stop, Shua Xie!! You must keep trying to destroy it!"

"We hope for you!!"
