Fire Monster

Chapter 306 Fall

"Okay, let's talk about it. Since you don't think you are destiny, then what are you?"

Zhao Guanshan asked in a deep voice. He admitted that he did not have the courage to drag Linjiangfu Daogong to die with this thing.

But at the same time, he also wanted to understand the other party from the other party, because so far, he has obtained many versions of the understanding about this destiny.

There is a version of the story told by Cheng Muye and his senior brother, which is similar to the one told by Wang Xuan and Qin Wuyuan.

There is also the version told by the immortal Mei Xun.

The version told by the female immortal.

And a version he came up with based on his own judgment and analysis.

These four versions of cognition are intertwined, contradictory and contradictory. The complexity is like layers of fog, which makes him feel powerless. So at this moment, even though he knows that the other party is very likely playing a delaying tactic or trying to deceive him with eloquence, he still wants to ask clearly.

Because to him, the truth is important.

"What am I? I am nothing. There is no definition of us in this world. If we must define us, demon may be the most appropriate, but it is not the demon that is so common and has been defined in various ways."

"Believe it or not, we naturally like to coexist with sentient beings that live together, especially you humans, who can possess both the greatest good and the greatest evil at the same time. You are like chaos and deeply attract us. The fireworks created by the collision of your destinies and your complex and wide-ranging emotions can fill up an entire thick cookbook for us."

"So please believe us. We never like to slaughter the humans we coexist with. We just like to delve into our recipes. We like the more complex and magnificent flower of destiny, the individual, family, race, civilization, colorful and unpredictable. We are deeply intoxicated by it and cannot help but enjoy it."

"But gradually, some wise people among you humans began to vaguely realize our existence. Some people also began to discover the law of internal destruction and external rebirth through internal self-reform. Oh, you usually call them immortal cultivators, including your current Qi Refiners. They even began to observe us, discover us, capture us, and seal us."

"Really, we're innocent, we just like to delve into our recipes."

"In short, this is a very long story. It can be told continuously for tens of thousands of years and still not be finished."

"So now back to your original question, it doesn't matter who we are, what matters is that we and you humans restore the balance we once had, because if we don't, it will lead to something very, very terrible that I can't even describe."

"So, Zhao Guanshan, do you want peace or war?"

"Don't give me so much useless talk. I just want to ask you, is this destroyed Taoist palace Zhenhai or Qingcheng? Did you destroy it?"

Zhao Guanshan asked in a stern voice, but his heart was extremely calm. This was the fifth version of destiny he had heard. If you wanted him to believe it, you would have to wait. He needed to find the truth from these versions.

"It's the Qingcheng Taoist Palace. Wait, why do you know about Zhenhai and Qingcheng? Do you know about that plan?"

“Damn it, you were the one who placed the spiritual fire beacon burning in Linjiang Mansion. You participated in this plan? You want to destroy me! Ahhhh, I curse you. I will fight you to the death!”

The voice was furious, but it became quiet the next second because Zhao Guanshan took out the broadsword...

"We all need to stay calm and restrained. Zhao Guanshan, come on. You must still have a lot of doubts. Come on, let's talk. I will tell you everything I know."

"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, isn't that okay?"

"The Taoist palace that was destroyed was the Qingcheng Taoist Palace, but I swear, I swear with my recipe book, that it was not me who destroyed the Qingcheng Taoist Palace, but Duo who destroyed it."

"Fall? What the hell is fall?!"

"Fall is not a thing. Fall is the source of mutation, the shadow of disaster, and an individual derived from the very, very terrible thing I mentioned. In a sense, it is equivalent to the evil god in your mouth."

"I think you and your kind are more like evil gods." Zhao Guanshan sneered.

"If you say that, we can't continue the discussion. Even if half of the reason for the fallen world and the current situation is caused by us, you humans must also bear half of the consequences."

"Remember what I said before? You humans are complex. You have both the greatest good and the greatest evil. Your emotions and consciousness are chaotic and disordered. When you are holy, you are like a white lotus. When you are evil, even the evil gods are ashamed of themselves."

"For countless years, we have been devouring your emotions and your fate. Your complex and ever-changing emotions, weird and unpredictable behavior patterns, and all kinds of ways to commit suicide will definitely attract a very, very, very terrifying existence that cannot even be named to come and destroy everything."

"It was us who gave you the chance to survive."

"But how did you treat us? Tracking, sealing, stripping, splitting, and keeping us in captivity, we were really screwed!"

"And what was the result? We couldn't eat delicious food, and we couldn't research new recipes. Instead, the food piled up there and continued to ferment. Eventually, it attracted an unspeakable existence, which destroyed everything in one fell swoop."

"Your immortals simply couldn't resist, and were defeated step by step. In the end, they had nothing. The immortal world collapsed, the immortal cultivation world collapsed, the heaven and earth collapsed, and only a few corners of the world still had a few humans surviving." "At the very least, you wouldn't think that the collapse of your immortal cultivation world two thousand years ago was related to us, right? At that time, there were countless immortal cultivators, and we were all imprisoned in the deep mountains and old forests, and either our dragon heads were beheaded, or our dragon veins were cut off, or our dragon roots were cut off."

"In order to prevent us from reviving and awakening, those immortal cultivators even fooled ordinary mortals. They all lived like pigs and dogs, ignorant and utterly stupid. There is no need for me to provide evidence for such things."

"In short, you need to understand that the Fallen have the same abilities as us. They also like to study recipes, and they also like crazy, chaotic, complicated, and especially passionate emotions. The biggest difference between us and them is that we don't need sacrifices. We just like to guide ourselves, naturally, relax, and naturally bring out the best color, fragrance and taste of the recipes."

"But they are different. They need to be passionate and unrestrained, to burst out in enthusiasm, and to be hysterical. The more perverted, the happier they are. So you humans will be bewitched and do all kinds of things that break the bottom line in order to please them."

"If you had listened to me and set out three years ago and arrived at Qingcheng Dao Palace earlier, you would have discovered that the people there seem to be very intelligent, free, and wonderful, but in fact, secretly, they are no different from a group of beasts and a pile of maggots."

"Doing the worst, dirtiest, most shameless things just to please the fallen. Oh my god, the scene of thousands of men and women rolling around and reveling, and then the weird emotions that exploded, I think this is a defilement of my diet."

"If you still don't believe me, then let me ask you, if I can't even defeat you, how can I destroy a Taoist temple with an eighth-level spirit-supplying tower?"

"It's just that those people in Qingcheng Taoist Palace were having too much fun and blew up the Level 8 Spirit Offering Tower from the inside."

"I sent you there before because I hoped that you would show your talents in the Qingcheng Dao Palace and restore order. It would be best if you could perish together with that Fallen. You see, I always do things in an upright manner!"

Zhao Guanshan was silent. Human nature has both light and darkness. As a human being, he naturally knows how bright human nature can be and how dark it can be. Sometimes, the two can even overlap in one person.

However, he still believed that perhaps only one or two out of ten sentences this guy said were true, or most of them were true just to cover up those one or two lies.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Guanshan finally couldn't help but ask, "Humanity itself, if it weren't for you, would it really be impossible for the collective will of humanity to be born? That's what we call destiny."

"Haha! Regarding this, I only have one thing to say to you. There has never been a savior, but there are gods and demons. Human nature can be bright, but if you really believe that the essence of the world is beautiful, then that is the greatest stupidity! Don't you humans know what virtues you have?"

"I know what you mean by destiny. It is the perfect embodiment that the wise men among you humans are looking forward to. Unfortunately, there is no such destiny. Instead, there are many fallen people who pretend to be destiny and demons like us. Do you want one?"

"In fact, sometimes when we are full and have enough to drink, we are willing to help guide them. For example, after a few hundred years of chaos, there will be a few hundred years of stable and beautiful times. That is all because of our help. However, we must not bring about their downfall!"

"The Qingcheng Taoist Palace is a bloody example. If you don't believe it, go and interrogate the hundreds of survivors. Look at them, ask them. They all gave their souls to Du. I wanted to kill them. I didn't want to lead Du to Linjiang Prefecture. But you stupid humans insisted on merging the Zhenhai Taoist Palace, Qingcheng Taoist Palace, and Linjiang Taoist Palace together, thinking that this would be enough to deal with Du. No, no, no, you didn't even know of Du's existence."

"You think that we are awake, well fed and well watered, and that we can help you fight against the Fall? What are you thinking! This plan was unreliable from the beginning."

"If my guess is correct, the Zhenhai Dao Palace may also have the smell of corruption. If you don't believe me, just go and take a look. Practice makes perfect. Why bother me here?"

Hearing this, Zhao Guanshan suddenly sneered, "If you say so, I destroyed the statue of an evil god in Linjiang Prefecture before, that was also a fall, why didn't you show up?"

"It's unfair. What does that have to do with me? I just like to study my recipes. What can I say to make you believe it? The people here have become wiser and no longer numb. They have more joys, anger, sorrows, and happiness. They have more emotions and beliefs. That's why we are here. Then, we can provide you with a little help according to our mood, but it doesn't mean that I need to guard the Taoist Palace for you!"

"We don't have that responsibility! It's you humans who are wrong. Whether you oppose or support it, you are all wrong."

"Those who can communicate with us are arrogant! Those who cannot communicate with us are ignorant!"

"Take Linjiang Prefecture for example. Those guys are so stupid that they even abandoned their martial arts just to lure us here. They can knock down the five statues of immortals at will. They really have no defenses at all. What you humans need to rely on the most is immortal cultivators and the development of large-scale clustered heavy industries. Why do you rely on us who are illusory and unreliable?"

"The funniest thing is that you think you can please us by spreading more technology. That has nothing to do with us. It's just that you humans are too happy, so we join in the fun. It's really a coincidence!"

"Conservatives and radicals are actually meaningless."

"So, you have to understand that one of the main reasons why I came to Linjiang Dao Palace and planned to stay here is because you killed that Fallen."

Hearing this, Zhao Guanshan began to feel skeptical.

"Then what happened just now? If we didn't have some skills, we would have been killed by you by now!"

"Because the hundreds of people you rescued are all fanatics of Duo. Even though they have passed your tests, they can't hide it from me. I can't let them be taken to Linjiang Dao Palace. Duo will come with the sacrifices of its fanatics. I can't let Duo destroy my new home that I worked so hard to build."

"Of course, I'll tell you the truth, and I think it's appropriate to kill you all at the same time. You're so smart. You're still suspicious even after I've given you a hint. You deserve to die."

"That's all I have to say. You decide for yourself. You can't kill me. At most, I will fall asleep again. But I can't guarantee that the millions of people in Linjiang Prefecture will become idiots because of you."

"Also, even if you have a way to deal with me, like an immortal who pulls me out of the souls of millions of people, it's useless, because there are too many fallen nowadays, and it's hard to guard against them. You can guarantee that you won't be fooled, but what about the others? Those fallen will really show miracles, really send down oracles, really enthrone the title of national master, and really make your wishes come true, until you completely kill yourself in order to please the fallen."

"Also, I'll give you another piece of free information. In this broken world of immortal cultivation, Fall is only considered a relatively low-level one. At least I dare to call him by his name. Do you want to try a more powerful one?"

"Or, guess what's in that equally broken fairyland?"
