We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

"Obstinate!"

"I'd like to see how you'll find a place to live in Lin'an after today." Fahai stood on a small boat on West Lake, his third eye between his eyebrows open, quietly watching the scene in the reeds.

After witnessing Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen running towards each other, his expression not only showed no signs of softening, but instead became even colder.

Humans are humans, and demons are demons; there is simply no basis for the two to be together.

If the two are forced together, divine punishment will surely descend, because this love between a human and a demon violates the moral and ethical concepts of the mortal world and goes against the natural order and morality of this world.

In the distance, at the Shen residence, in a secret underground chamber.

"This Fahai is indeed a stubborn mule." Shen Bailian sat on the artificial massage chair that floated in the air, his hands clasped in front of his chest, his eyes focused on the hundreds of light screens in front of him.

It includes scenes of Xiaoqing fighting against the swarm of robots, scenes of Fahai, and scenes of the ill-fated couple Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.

The images displayed on the light screen were very clear, and even the changes in the expressions of the two humans and two demons could not escape Shen Bailian's scrutiny.

As for what happened at Li Gongfu's old residence, Shen Bailian had naturally seen it all. He had to admit that Fahai's will was truly unwavering when facing demons and evil spirits.

However, he did not agree with the perception of Fahai.

Because they live in different worlds and their secular systems are vastly different, they have completely different views on the love between humans and demons.

In Fahai's worldview, humans are humans and demons are demons. He doesn't care about the good or evil of humans, nor does he care about the good or evil of demons.

However, once he encounters a demon, regardless of whether it is good or evil, it must be captured and sealed in the Demon-Suppressing Tower. Only such a demon can be considered a "good demon".

However, in Shen Bailian's worldview, good is good and evil is evil, and sometimes the evil of man surpasses the evil in the dark forest.

Therefore, if someone harbors ill intentions towards him, just like the magistrate of Lin'an City, then death is their final fate.

The same applies to demons.

Furthermore, in the Zhenyuan universe, modern people have a wide range of interests, and there are quite a few anime fans. In the world of anime, characters that are half-human and half-demon, such as bunny girls and catgirls, often attract a lot of fans.

Shen Bailian was no exception.

However, apart from a few people with special fetishes, very few people like snake demons. After all, snakes are creatures that often evoke deep-seated fear in many people.

The love between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen is beyond doubt; it is as pure as gold that can withstand the test of fire.

This point was also made clear in the original storyline, and no matter which version of the story it is, the emotional tone between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen will never change.

Even at this point, Fahai remained unmoved, which truly makes him worthy of the nickname "heart of stone."

If Fahai were "righteous," he would surely have achieved great things.

Unfortunately, in this plot orchestrated by countless gods and Buddhas, Fahai is a villain destined to fail, a stepping stone for the incarnation of the God of Literature, Xu Shilin.

It's pathetic, lamentable, and laughable all at the same time!

"Absolutely not, absolutely not, we cannot let the Zhenyuan Universe fall into the hands of those gods again." Shen Bailian murmured softly as he watched everything unfolding before him.

The trajectory of one's life is not entirely in one's own control, but rather controlled by countless gods and Buddhas, even one's every word and action is within their purview.

Thinking hard!
High in the sky.

"Interesting, very interesting." Guanyin, radiating a hazy glow, though perched high in the heavens, could not escape the allure of everything that happened in the mortal world.

Shen Bailian's every move was naturally not beyond His watchful eye. After all, the title of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who saves people from suffering, is not just for show.

But it is true.

"This thing that resembles a puppet but is not a puppet at all must be the crystallization of human wisdom in the Dharma-ending Age, a robot." Although today is the first time Guanyin has seen the swarm robot, for a deity of her level, she knows the past, present, and future, and can know the past five hundred years and the future five hundred years.

With just a quick calculation, one can easily figure out the origins of those swarm robots.

After all, those swarm robots weren't like Shen Bailian; they didn't have the ability to conceal secrets with the [Primordial Chaos] skill.

Of course, this "five hundred years" is just a figurative number, and the specific number of years it refers to is, to a certain extent, equivalent to infinity.

As long as the person being calculated is weaker than Guanyin, it's fine.

At the same time, this world has experienced the Dharma-ending Age before, just like the ebb and flow of the sea, which is a natural phenomenon in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth.

The reason why the human race can become the darling of heaven and earth is not only because of the favor of the heavens, but also because one of the biggest reasons is that they possess a portion of the power of wisdom and are born with wisdom.

Unlike wild animals in the mountains and forests, which are born with only a vague consciousness, their biological instincts far outweigh their subjective initiative.

Only after cultivating to a certain level can one begin to grasp the power of wisdom.

"So that's how it is. He's not from this era, but from the distant future." Guanyin's eyes shimmered with a misty light.

Through the information carried by the swarm of robots, He roughly deduced some basic information and also saw skyscrapers hundreds of meters high, spaceships stretching across the sky, roaring planet-destroying cannons, and...

Before today, Guanyin never imagined that the wisdom of mortals could create mechanical creations with such terrifying power.

Although Guanyin only saw some scraps, she had already gained a relatively deep understanding of mechanical creations like robots, and also learned about the era in which Shen Bailian lived from the side.

However, Guanyin only expressed slight surprise, and nothing more.

Because He was a well-established god, His insight was naturally extremely keen, and He saw the weaknesses of those powerful weapons in just a short time.

Although it appears to exist independently of this world, it is intricately connected to the laws governing this world.

Once the surrounding environment changes, those spaceships and planet-destroying cannons will be rendered useless. For gods and Buddhas like them, it is very difficult to permanently change the medium of an environment.

However, making a temporary change is an easy thing to do.

Furthermore, each god and Buddha has their own domain, which, in Western or Norse mythology terms, means having a personal divine kingdom.

One thought arises, one thought dies.

As long as the essence of life is unequal, even a black hole weapon will be of no use in front of these gods and Buddhas, and can only be regarded as a work of art.

Of course, what Guanyin didn't know was that what she knew was not the era in which Shen Bailian lived, but the distant future of this world.

As for why Guanyin had this misunderstanding, it was entirely because after Shen Bailian advanced to the Embracing Moon Realm, although the level of his [Primordial Chaos] skill did not increase, the effect of concealing heavenly secrets indirectly improved along with his strength. Shen Bailian, of course, had no idea what Guanyin was seeing.

Even Shen Bailian, upon learning of this, could only breathe a sigh of relief.

"After this matter is over, we can consider taking that kid under our wing and asking him where he got his peculiar cultivation system from."

Although Guanyin observed the future era in which Shen Bailian lived through the swarm of robots, she had not yet seen the boy's cultivation system in that era.

Of course, this is perfectly reasonable.

After all, Guanyin only glimpsed a corner of the future by observing the river of time, and did not know the specific information about the distant future of this world.

He was naturally quite curious about Shen Bailian's unique cultivation system, but he didn't care about those high-tech weapons at all.

The path of science and technology is entirely dependent on external forces; it is impossible to possess unparalleled personal power by relying solely on this path.

Leading a civilization to godlike status and making everyone a dragon—it must be said that Su Yuan's ambition is indeed grand, but it has completely deviated from the basis of reality.

Even in the prehistoric world of this world, the Great Primordial World, which possessed such abundant natural resources, only a few saints were born over several eras.
It's still less than double digits.

Therefore, the path of technology is feasible, but it is completely incompatible with the path of gods and Buddhas, and most importantly, it is not conducive to governance.

No matter what world it is, the underlying foundation will always exist, and it is also the most important link in the food chain.

However, the cultivation system that allows one to possess personal power is different. Although He and Shen Bailian lived in different eras, the world is still the same world, and the essence of the rules will not change.

All roads lead to Rome, and any cultivation system can be considered a crystallization of an era.

Although the two paths are completely different, drawing parallels between them could make Him even stronger.

While Guanyin was deep in thought.

below.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded across the sky, and bright lightning illuminated the entire city of Lin'an, brightening the reed beds around West Lake.

An extremely dense demonic aura spread uncontrollably from the reeds, accompanied by extremely shrill roars amidst the thunder.

"What, what... what is going on?" Xu Xian, who was stumbling and searching for Bai Suzhen, was stunned when he heard the deafening thunder.

Moreover, a chill of unknown origin suddenly rose from the soles of his feet, making the hairs on his body stand on end, as if some ferocious beast lurked deep within the reeds.

Doubt, fear, unease... a whole host of negative emotions surged into his mind, causing him to stop in his tracks, frozen in place, unable to move forward.

Rumble~
A large patch of dark clouds rolled in.

Dark clouds churned in the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and a howling wind swept in, causing all the reeds around Xu Xian to sway and bend low.

Sudden.

"what--!!!"

"Xiaoqing... Xiaoqing, where are you..." From within the reeds came a mournful, almost inhuman scream.

Although the voice had been distorted to the extreme by pain.

However, after spending so much time together, Xu Xian immediately realized that the sound was undoubtedly Bai Suzhen's scream.

Although he didn't understand what had happened, at that moment, Bai Suzhen's shrill screams completely activated the courage hidden in his heart, allowing him to fight against his fear.

is love!

It was his love for Bai Suzhen!

Despite losing too much blood and being too weak, Xu Xian persevered. His adrenaline fueled his physical potential, and he limped wildly toward the source of the sound.

His blood-stained clothes dragged through the reeds, the soft reed leaves seeming to transform into sharp blades, mercilessly slicing Xu Xian's skin and leaving trails of blood.

However, all this suffering paled in comparison to his determination to reach Bai Suzhen's side.

And deep within the reeds.

Due to the intense pain emanating from her body and the expanding Buddhist light, Bai Suzhen's body began to change uncontrollably, her originally graceful human form gradually twisting and swelling.

Her head rapidly grew larger, her eyes bulging like copper bells, flashing with a cold and eerie light. Her mouth gaped open, revealing menacing fangs, and her forked tongue danced wildly in the air, like a demon ready to devour its prey.

Its body also grew to an enormous size, like a balloon being rapidly inflated. Its thick, snake-like body coiled and twisted, and its scales shimmered with a cold, white jade-like luster under the lightning. Each scale was the size of a shield, hard and terrifying.

Like several snakes as thick as buckets, it stretched out and extended into the depths of the reeds, showing no sign of stopping.

The enormous snake tail swung back and forth across the ground, sending sand and stones flying wherever it went. Even high mounds were instantly leveled, and willow trees by the lake were snapped in half with a crackling sound.

The rising dust filled the air, making the surrounding scenery even more blurry and chaotic.

Of course, on either side of the head of this white python, there are two barely perceptible protrusions that are almost impossible to notice without close inspection.

"snake!"

"Ah—!!! It's a snake..." This time, the shrill scream came from someone else, from Bai Suzhen to Xu Xian, who was dressed in a miserable state.

Xu Xian looked at the enormous creature before him, his legs went weak, and he involuntarily retreated, stumbling and falling to the ground.

His hands trembled as he braced himself behind him, trying to get away from the horrific scene before him, only to find that there was no way to escape.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, trickling down his cheeks and dripping onto his trembling lips. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't utter a sound due to extreme terror, only managing a few weak, incoherent sobs from deep in his throat.

Xu Xian's eyes were filled with despair and fear, as if he had seen the end of the world. He did not understand why there was a giant python in front of him.

Could it be that this giant python swallowed Bai Suzhen whole?

Suddenly, a terrifying thought flashed through Xu Xian's mind.

However, in Bai Suzhen's eyes, all of Xu Xian's actions had a completely different meaning. (End of Chapter)
