Chapter 150: The Chaotic Wonderland – Love Without a Future

Nothing is absolute. When you think a path has reached its end, it might just become a starting point. Perhaps this is fate’s arrangement—flowers bloom and wither, karma cycles endlessly. Where exactly is the end?

Hearing the Wolf King mention a strange place, July shook her head and asked, “What is the ‘Chaotic Wonderland’?”

The Wolf King took a sip of tea and replied, “I’m not very familiar with this ‘Chaotic Wonderland’ either, but I can tell you that if you and Liu Yi go in, there’s a 50% chance you’ll live there until your death, and a 50% chance it will help him regain his memories.”

July wiped the tears from her face, her hope flaring anew. After all, even a 50% chance was a chance. As long as they weren’t disturbed by outsiders and could truly live in a paradise like that, she would give it a try.

July pressed on, “Sir, please tell me everything you know.”

The Wolf King nodded and said, “I’m not very familiar with this ‘Chaotic Wonderland’ either. I only heard about it when Pangu created the world.”

“The ‘Chaotic Wonderland’ originally didn’t belong to this world; it was a reflection of another world. At the same time Pangu created the world, the Great Sage also created the ‘Chaotic Wonderland.’ Since there were many evil beings, demons, monsters, and beasts alongside Pangu, those creatures weren’t created by Pangu or Nüwa but emerged naturally at the beginning of time.”

“That’s why the Great Sage created the ‘Chaotic Wonderland.’ Though called a paradise, it’s actually just another small world. There, there are no ambitions or desires, and no one knows anyone else. But it’s a world of survival of the fittest. All those who once resisted the divine realm were sent to that ‘Chaotic Wonderland’.”

July asked in surprise, “If that’s the case, isn’t it just a paradise for demons and monsters?”

The Wolf King shook his head. “Although it’s dangerous, it is indeed a real paradise. In our three realms, as time passes, places with dense chaotic energy are becoming increasingly rare…”

“But in that ‘Chaotic Wonderland,’ one year there equals just one day outside. The chaotic energy there is far denser than in the three realms. If you and Liu Yi go in, the dense chaotic energy might help him regain his memories, though it’s unclear how long it will take.”

July grew even more puzzled. “I don’t quite understand, sir. If that ‘Chaotic Wonderland’ can give Liu Yi a chance to regain his memories, why do you say there’s a 50% chance we can be together?”

The Wolf King looked at July and said, “That’s also one of the secrets of the ‘Chaotic Wonderland.’ Anyone—be it a demon, a devil, or a god—who is sent there or enters on their own will be sealed there forever and never be able to leave.”

Shock appeared on July’s face. “Sir, if that’s the case… what if one day Liu Yi regains his memories, but we can’t get out? What then?”

The Wolf King merely smiled bitterly and shook his head. “Nothing is absolute. In my memory, I know of someone who entered the ‘Chaos Immortal Realm’ and came out unharmed.”
July asked, “Can anyone really escape from the world created by the gods?”
The Wolf King nodded and said, “You must have heard of Leng Jian from the Human Realm. That legendary figure entered the ‘Chaos Immortal Realm’ five years ago. It took him two months—equivalent to sixty years in that realm—to split heaven and earth, step out of the realm, and return to the three realms. This is also why Pangu was replaced by an envoy sent by the Great Sage.”
July asked, “How do you know all this?”
The Wolf King smiled and said, “I am Pangu’s guardian beast. Though separated from him for a thousand years, I can still predict everything that happens to him now.”
July suddenly asked again, “But if Liu Yi regains his memory yet doesn’t regain his martial skills, will we never be able to get out?”
The Wolf King nodded with a bitter smile. “I, an old wolf, have known no love in my life. But seeing you suffer so much from love, I can only offer my solution. If you truly can’t get out, then… stay there for life! As for the Demon Realm and the Eternal City outside, I will take care of them temporarily. If that’s fate, then the True Demon Realm will gradually disappear too.”
July looked at the Wolf King with tears in her eyes and rose to kneel…
The Wolf King quickly stood up to stop her, saying, “Silly girl, don’t push yourself too hard. Don’t think I’m helping you. Maybe it will hurt even more if you stay by his side without his love.”
Wiping away her tears, July said, “No… Even if it’s more painful, as long as I can see him smile and hear him speak to me every day, I’ll be satisfied. Even if we’re sealed away for a century, I’m willing.”
The Wolf King also nodded with a smile. “I’m relieved that the Demon Lord has a beauty like you by his side…”
July gave a sad smile. Though it was a smile, how much pain and sorrow lay within it? Hearing the Wolf King’s words, she replied, “A beauty isn’t necessarily a confidant. The path I can walk with him might just be that period without memories. I don’t know why fate is so unfair to me, making me fall in love with someone I shouldn’t. But… I don’t hate fate, because I feel like everything is my own choice.”
Hearing July’s sorrowful words, as an outsider, the Wolf King couldn’t tell whether Liu Yi should forget someone who was already dead or love someone who deeply loved him.
Regarding love, the Wolf King felt a hint of regret. After traversing a thousand years of dust, he hadn’t experienced the world’s most beautiful yet painful love. Behind his lonely figure lay indescribable desolation…
July smiled at the Wolf King and said, “Thank you for giving me this chance.”

The Wolf King shook his head and said, “It’s not me who gave you this opportunity; you earned it on your own. I have to admit your love is somewhat selfish, but it deeply touches me. That’s all I can do. Perhaps it is only in a world free from the pursuit of fame and fortune that you can truly be happy. Or maybe losing one’s memory is a form of liberation. All I can do is bless you…”

July listened to the Wolf King’s words and said, “Sir, could you be my brother? Although this request might be too much to ask, I’ve only known loneliness and solitude since I was young. For the first time, someone has given me encouragement and help, and I’ve also received your blessing. I really want to have a brother like you.”

The Wolf King smiled bitterly. “I’m thousands of years older than you. How can I be your brother?”

July put aside her sadness and smiled. “Then it’s settled. You may be older, but you’re not old. Just be my brother…”

The Wolf King smiled helplessly. In his heart, he truly lacked familial affection, for he had never experienced it before…

What will the future hold? How rough will the path of life be? What mystery lies behind the “Chaos Wonderland”? Will July and Liu Yi’s story change there? I don’t have the ability to imagine, let alone predict in advance. But I know that the sorrow of this third-life romance has already begun, and the souls of the characters have been almost fully depicted. All I can do… is keep typing, pushing the story forward to the next chapter.
