“Trash” had no value of existence. It has always been a true derogatory term since its invention.

There were many people in history who received this evaluation. For example, Zhao Kuo, who made theoretical discussion on paper, Second Qin Emperor Hu Hai, or Ah Dou of the Shu Kingdom were given the title of “Trash” by countless people.

However, not a lot of people had complex feelings towards the word “Trash” like Du Peng.

Once upon a time, this term was a counter-scale in Du Peng’s life. He got angry whenever someone described him with that word, because there was one man who kept calling him this term day after day.

Du Peng wanted to kill the guy who always called him “Trash”, which was Du Peng’s older brother who had a certain blood relationship with him but never wanted to admit it.

The truth was unveiled little by little as time went by, and Du Peng was once again eager to hear the cold, arrogant, full of overlooking title, “Trash” when another picture that he would have imagined was revealed! Even if it was only once.

Du Peng looked up at the sky and prayed countless times when he was alone: I am willing to die immediately just to hear it again once more!

“Trash? Go die?”

Du Peng’s fingers twitched a little and the simple words echoed in his mind. The voice seemed as if it had traveled across the great desolate era to the immemorial and transmitted faintly into his ears.

This tone is so familiar. I’ve heard this voice in my dreams countless times, one that is incomparably cold without any tender feelings… but I can feel the gentle care in the coldness after knowing the truth.

“What is this? Am I dreaming? Is this the voice of that bastard, Du Zhanpeng?”

The cold and determined voice passed through the cerebral cortex that was seriously injured and close to being gone. It activated the brain and nerves that had stopped temporarily operating.

The life-or-death pill slid down Du Peng’s throat into his stomach. Du Peng’s fingers twitched again and the cerebral cortex, which had almost stopped thinking, showed signs of activity again. Was the voice just now really that jerk Du Zhanpeng? I actually had such an illusion… what went into my stomach? Why is it so painful? My whole body is hurting. Right! I just got hit by God of Night… I’m really useless!

“Trash, are you dead yet? Open your eyes and let me see if you are not dead yet.”

Is it that bastard Du Zhanpeng’s voice again? Du Peng’s finger twitched for the third time. Is it Qin Fen? Did he imitate that bastard’s voice to stimulate me and wake me up?

“I haven’t seen you for a few years and you’ve become even more of a waste! How do you still have the guts to be alive when you couldn’t even win against the God of Night?”

Motherf*cker! What does me being alive have to do with you!? Du Peng’s fingers twitched again, his body trembled and shook. Why is it so painful? My stomach hurts! It is even more painful than God of Night’s attack! It feels as if a volcano is going to erupt! Is it… the life-or-death pill? My injuries are so severe that I needed to eat the life-or-death pill… so… does this mean that it failed?

So tired… I want to sleep, I am too tired. Qin Fen, thank you. Thank you for letting me hear my brother’s voice again at this time. Brother… I want to say sorry to you, I want to call you ‘brother’ in front of you so badly. Don’t you want to listen to me shouting? I really want to shout in front of you.

However, your younger brother is too useless. I took your strength, inherited everything of yours, and was still trash in the end. You are right, I am really trash. I couldn’t even stop God of Night.

Sorry, brother… I really wish I can hear you call me brother for once… Sorry brother, I wasted your strength… I hope to see you after I go down and apologize to you face to face…

One second…two seconds…three seconds…four seconds…five seconds…

Du Zhanpeng’s initial coldness was gone, the tremor in his right hand gradually spread throughout his entire body. His beautiful lips began to twitch. His cold eyes looked at Du Peng, who was in coma, slightly opening his lips and then closing them again. It was the word ‘brother’ could be read on his lips.

The outcome of the life-or-death pill, to live or die, would be seen after three seconds! Qin Fen stood in the same place blankly. His hands, which never trembled even when fighting the six masters, twitched violently.

Five seconds… it’s been five seconds! Du Peng didn’t return back alive, his body muscles were completely relaxed and the rosy lips were quickly becoming pale.

Life-or-death pill…life or death…

Qin Fen stared at Du Peng’s body, seeing its body temperature gradually began to decrease…

The ruins of the battlefield were dead silent; screams from far away could not pierce the silence here. A kind of desolate mood shrouded this small heaven and earth alone.

There was no wind and there was direct sunlight here; the air was ice cold.

Brothers reunited like this… Du Zhanpeng never thought about it. He had fantasized many times about what to say when he sees his brother standing in front of him with a surprised expression, seeing his death and resurrection when they met again.

“Kid, not bad! Your star strength is much stronger than I thought! Now, you might really have the opportunity to complete your previous thoughts. Oh! Which is to ruthlessly punch my face! Are you interested in giving it a try?”

“Why? Are you surprised that I am alive? Who am I? Du Zhanpeng! Your brother! How could I die without hearing you call me brother personally? Even the Inferno King won’t accept me.”

“I am now mingling with Qin Zhan. Oh! It is Qin Fen’s brother. The two of us are interesting, pairing up with the other two brothers.”

Thousands of fantasies, but he never thought that they would meet like this! Du Zhanpeng was alive, but Du Peng was dead. He couldn’t even look at his older brother who he yearned for day and night. Du Peng did not even have the chance to open his eyes and see, when this man was right in front of him.

Life-or-death pill, life or death! Looked like Lu Dongbin had exhausted all the good fortune of the life-or-death pill.

Death always arrives when people are at their most careless moment. No one ever thought that Du Peng’s outcome of taking the life-or-death pill was death.

Du Zhanpeng hugged Du Peng in his arms and his arms kept on trembling. His mouth started talking subconsciously, “Trash, it’s time for you to wake up… I said, you need to wake up. Do you hear me?”

“Du Peng… I am Du Zhanpeng… do you hear me calling you? You should’ve woken up by now. You ate the life-or-death pill. You should’ve woken up now.”
