Hell's Handbook

Su Jin quickly located that planet. When he arrived, he discovered that the power of time that the Handbook had over it had disappeared. Perhaps it had disappeared soon after he cut its connection with the Handbook off. As a result, time passed normally now.

Even so, this planet might have been spinning for a few thousand years before that power had completely disappeared. His two disciples might have already turned to dry bones and no longer existed. Time was cruel, after all. Unless one could rise above their mortal bodies and become a god, they were definitely dead.

The power to control the flow of time was something that not even the will of the universe possessed. That was how powerful the Handbook was. The Beginning was able to make incredible calculations, but it might not defeat the Handbook hands down. After all, the Handbook was created by the entire race of primordial deities.

Su Jin felt a feeling of familiarity when he set foot on the planet. He had lived here for quite a while after all, so it was like a second home to him.

But immediately after he arrived, he sensed two frightening auras coming straight for him from the peak of a high mountain. That was the snowy mountain where he had spent years in isolation.

“These two…” Su Jin was shocked because he recognized these two auras without any doubt. It was Yun Shan and Yun Shui, the two disciples he had left behind.

“Who is this powerful being who dares to enter my world!” A handsome man holding a sword and a beautiful woman flew through the sky and appeared in front of Su Jin. They stared at Su Jin and their gaze flickered slightly.

“Yun Shan! Yun Shui!” Su Jin was really excited. Possibly thousands of years had already passed on this planet, yet these two little ones were still alive. But of course, they were both grown up now.

But Yun Shan and Yun Shui were clearly not as excited. Yun Shan frowned and said, “So, it’s you! I didn’t think you would come back since it’s already been a good 3,700 years.”

Su Jin blinked, then said apologetically, “I’m sorry, I’ve been very busy during these years, so…”

“Shut up!” bellowed Yun Shan furiously with a look of rage in his eyes. Yun Shui, however, looked very conflicted. She was staring at Su Jin with a pleading look in her eyes.

“Su Jin… who do you think you are? You think you’re our savior because you gave us new lives? You did give us a new lease on life, but what about after that? You left and this planet ended up being locked up for more than 3,000 years. My sister and I have already reached the limits of our martial arts skills, but we can’t move on from here and we can’t get to somewhere new either. All of this is YOUR fault!” shouted Yun Shan angrily. He raised his sword and it was actually able to cut through space. That showed that he was almost as powerful as a god now.

Su Jin dodged and Yun Shui wailed, “Shi… Shifu, I’ll call you that one last time… why did you come back?”

“I…” Su Jin’s lips trembled slightly but couldn’t find it in himself to tell them why he was here. Yun Shan was right. When he left, he had abandoned everything here. The two children had been abandoned by the only person they trusted, so he wasn’t surprised that their disappointment in him had turned to hatred.

Su Jin finally shook his head and said, “Never mind. I’m sorry, Yun Shan and Yun Shui.”

He then turned to leave. He had left them back when they were helpless and needed to be protected, so what right did he have to ask them to protect him?

He flew off and disappeared immediately. But after he disappeared, tears started flowing from Yun Shan and Yun Shui’s eyes. Yun Shan turned back to look at his world and growled angrily, “You can come out now! This world belongs to me, Su Yunshan! Did you think you could really barge in here without us knowing?” Yun Shui wiped her tears and stood behind her elder brother with an equally icy look on her face.

“Very impressive! I didn’t expect a creature living in such a small place to be able to become so powerful just by training in martial arts. I really can’t help but compliment you for that!” A clown flew up and gave the two siblings a creepy smile.

Yun Shan scanned the clown and said frostily, “This world had been isolated for 3,500 years when suddenly a crack appeared in spacetime. I went around and did some investigations, so… you must be Hell’s Handbook, right?”

“Heh heh! I didn’t expect you to realize who I am so quickly. It seems like you were really excited to look around outside after my powers around this planet disappeared!” The clown snickered before his expression suddenly turned nasty. He said in a low voice, “But I have to say that you are truly quite impressive. Immediately after you sensed my presence, you ascertained how wide my trap was and managed to chase your shifu away before he could set foot within the boundary of the trap. I must say… you are extremely bold!”

“Haha! Both of us are the disciples of the incredibly bold insurgent, Su Jin! Of course we’d be just as bold!” Yun Shan let out a maniacal laugh as though he didn’t care that the clown could smite them in an instant.

“Alright then! Since your shifu has left, then both of you can die on his behalf!” The clown grabbed the air with one hand and the two siblings felt the air around them weigh their bodies down. They tried to use all their might to fight back, but it was useless.

Just when they were about to collapse under the pressure, a colorful beam appeared from nowhere and headed straight for the clown. The clown’s hands were surrounded by the colorful beam and instantly turned to ash. And to prevent it from getting to the rest of his body, the clown immediately chopped the rest of his two arms off.

“Shifu!” Yun Shan and Yun Shui’s eyes widened as Su Jin appeared before them.

There was no time to stand around and talk. Su Jin grabbed them both and they disappeared immediately. The clown roared furiously, not because he was venting his frustrations, but because he was calling the others. The will of the universe arrived almost instantly, but that tiny delay was enough for Su Jin to make his getaway.

“What happened here?” asked the will of the universe icily as he glared at the clown with a displeased look in his eyes.

The clown responded, “The trap I laid was discovered by Su Jin’s two disciples and they drove him away with hurtful words. But Su Jin suddenly decided to turn back and took them away with him!”

The will of the universe frowned and gave orders, “Find him! Mobilize every universe and get every sentient being to start searching! I don’t care if it’s Su Jin or the temple, I’ll take it!”

“Yes, O Great One!” The clown would never question the will of the universe’s orders. He would only loyally carry each order out properly.

Meanwhile, Yun Shan and Yun Shui couldn’t believe what just happened. Su Jin smiled faintly and explained, “I know my disciples the best and nothing has changed even though a few thousand years have passed. I sensed something amiss, so I decided to turn back. I… I really have to thank the both of you!”

Both siblings burst into tears. While it was true that they had been upset by Su Jin’s departure before, their love for him surpassed any unhappiness they felt. The only emotion they would feel if Su Jin returned was happiness. They wouldn’t have tried to chase him away like that.

Su Jin was relieved that he had returned. He had left with some guilt in his heart, but shortly after he left, he sensed something amiss. The two had given him pleading looks, as though they were begging him not to come in.

He scolded himself for being an idiot as he started thinking about the situation from the will of the universe’s perspective. If he were the will of the universe, what would he watch out for when chasing after Su Jin? Of course, he would go for the places where he could not check on immediately. He would just keep a close eye on all such places.

Once he had thought of it this way, he was very sure that Yun Shan and Yun Shui had tried to chase him away like this for a good reason. That’s why he went back. Thankfully, he had returned quickly enough and managed to save them.

Su Jin had lost too much in this short period of time. His parents had been killed and the Demon Lord had killed herself. If he lost these two disciples too, he would go insane.

He dared not stop at all. Since finding a world that had no connection to the Handbook was not a viable option anymore, he had to use speed to beat them. He would just keep moving and see if the will of the universe would be able to catch up.

Half a month later, Su Jin managed to get rid of the trace that the will of the universe had left on him. Even though the will of the universe had mobilized every world and race to hunt down Su Jin and his temple, it wasn’t going to be easy to find them in this vast universe. It was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Besides, both himself and his temple were constantly moving through different worlds.
