Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Dai Yuntian continued forward.

The scene changes again.

This time, he felt as if he were in a giant arena of soul fighting.

Countless powerful soul masters and ferocious soul beasts prostrated themselves before him, calling him "Your Majesty."

The throne, symbolizing supreme power, was right before him. It seemed that as long as he sat on it, he could control the entire Douluo Continent, wielding the power of life and death, and becoming the sole ruler.

"Power... authority... is readily available."

A seductive whisper filled with allure rang in his ear.

Turning around, I saw Xu Jiujiu walking towards me, naked, holding the crown that symbolized the king.

As Dai Yuntian gazed at the crown that symbolized absolute power, a flicker of emotion flashed in his eyes—the yearning for power and control that lay with him, the son of the White Tiger Duke, both in his past and present lives.

But he chuckled and shook his head: "False power is like a mirage. What I want is power earned with my own hands, not the charity of this illusion."

He ignored the alluring Xu Jiujiu and walked straight through the Soul Arena.

The scenes are constantly changing.

Endless wealth, a lost super martial spirit, even... the illusion of resurrecting the deceased. Although he has no close relatives in this world whom he truly wants to resurrect, the secret realm seems to be simulated based on some concept of "regret"...

Various temptations, directly targeting human desires, surged towards him like a tide.

However, Dai Yuntian remained calm and composed, his eyes clear, as he continued to walk forward.

Dai Yuntian shattered once again an illusion that was trying to evoke his impulse to "destroy everything".

The secret realm seemed to have sensed his domineering and destructive tendencies and was trying to amplify them.

But Dai Yuntian was not tired at all; on the contrary, he was even more excited: "Not enough, not enough! Let me see what I'm hiding deep inside!"

He seemed to... regard this test of "depraved desires" as an "extreme stress test" and "deep exploration" of his own heart!
He deliberately relaxed his mental defenses, allowing the power of the secret realm to seep into the deepest, most hidden corners of his soul.

This time, the secret realm seems to have finally touched something.

The scene before Dai Yuntian suddenly became incredibly real, incredibly...familiar.

That was no longer the scene of Douluo Continent, but... a modern metropolis with skyscrapers, bustling traffic, and flashing neon lights.

In the scene, a middle-aged couple with harsh faces, their hypocrisy barely concealed, slowly walk towards him, tears streaming down their faces.
"Yun Tian, ​​come back... Back then, we didn't mean to leave you at the orphanage gate... We had our reasons!"

"Yes, Yuntian, your parents know they were wrong. Come home with us, all the family property is yours..."

Dai Yuntian's mind trembled violently.

This final test unexpectedly targeted the deepest, most painful wound in his heart that he least wanted to touch.

The unforgettable pain of being abandoned at the gate of an orphanage by one's own parents in a past life.

An anger and resentment, stemming from the very essence of his soul, nearly erupted like a volcano.

However, it was only for a moment.

Dai Yuntian took a deep breath, readjusted his emotions, and spoke in an icy tone:
"Can not go back!"

"To give birth and not raise a child is a debt that can be repaid even with a severed finger! To give birth and raise a child is a debt that can be repaid even with a severed head! To not give birth and yet raise a child is a debt that can never be repaid even after a hundred generations!"

"You are not fit to be my parents!"

"My only parents in this life are Zhu Yun'er and Dai Hao!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the couple's figures twisted and swelled, their faces becoming ferocious, and their feigned tears transformed into vicious curses:
"You ungrateful wretch! I should have thrown you into the ditch and drowned you back then!"

"You heartless wretch! We are already doing you a tremendous favor by giving birth to you!"

"You deserve to be an orphan your whole life! You lowly bastard!"

As Dai Yuntian listened to these harsh and vicious words, his eyes grew increasingly calm, as if he were watching a clumsy farce.

These words could no longer harm him in the slightest.

Just then, a flash of light appeared beside him, and two familiar and warm figures slowly coalesced.

Zhu Yun'er appeared beside him, looking at him tenderly: "Well said, Yun Tian! No matter what happened in the past life, you will always be your mother's best treasure!"

Dai Hao's figure became clearer, his tiger-like eyes filled with power, and he said with satisfaction, "Yes, Yun Tian, ​​your father is proud of you for being able to sever your inner demons and stay true to yourself."

The two extended their hands at the same time, their eyes filled with affection: "Yuntian, come home with us?" Faced with this sudden "warm family" scene conjured by the secret realm based on his positive emotions, a flicker of emotion flashed in Dai Yuntian's eyes, but it quickly turned into a more thorough clarity.

"It's all an illusion, don't even think about doing anything to me!"

He slowly closed his eyes, no longer looking at any illusions, and completely immersed himself in introspection.

After undergoing this series of "baptisms of desire"—from primal desires to familial bonds, and finally to the deepest inner demons—his understanding of his own heart has become crystal clear.

He completely severed and let go of the shadow of being abandoned in his past life with absolute will.

The anger and resentment that were stirred up were transformed into a greater appreciation for his parents in this life and for the bonds he had with them.

Desire is a driving force, not a shackle.

The inner demons have been severed, and the obsessions have been let go.

I am the master of desire!
"Desire is a driving force, not a shackle, and I am the master of desire."

He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light. An even more powerful and majestic evil aura emanated from him.

This is not evil born of depravity, but rather... evil born of control!

[Rating: Perfect!]

【Rewards have been issued.】

Looking at the divinely bestowed soul ring that had appeared in his palm, Dai Yuntian sat cross-legged and began to absorb it without hesitation.

……

at the same time.

Spirit world.

Deep within the temple of the God of Evil, a massive mirror of light, formed from the very essence of pure evil, is slowly dimming.

The final image captured in the mirror is the moment when Dai Yuntian, in the "Degenerate Desire" secret realm, severed his inner demons from his past life and transformed his will into an evil holy soul.

Beside her, the God of Kindness's beautiful face was filled with undisguised emotion.

She sighed softly, her voice gentle yet tinged with a hint of amazement: "Evil, now I finally understand why you chose him."

They had witnessed every moment of Dai Yuntian's performance in the secret realm, from confronting the temptations of beauty and power to severing his deepest attachment to family.

That clear understanding of desire, and the almost ruthless determination he showed when finally severing his inner demons, all deeply moved the God of Kindness.

It's important to understand that these desires are the hardest for ordinary people to give up.

Dai Yuntian is by no means an ordinary person who would be enslaved by desires. He is a true powerhouse who is born to control "evil"!
The God of Evil chuckled with satisfaction: "Otherwise, how could he be worthy of being my successor to evil? My position as the God of Evil is not one that just anyone can sit on."

The God of Kindness trembled slightly, a knowing glint in her beautiful eyes: "It seems... you've made up your mind."

She had always believed that the God of Evil had merely chosen a temporary successor.

After all, the two had planned to choose a temporary successor and then reincarnate together to experience the joys and sorrows of the mortal world.

But now it seems the god of evil is serious!

He truly intended to groom Dai Yuntian as his sole and true successor!

The god of evil remained silent, but his gaze was fixed on her, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Under that ardent and familiar gaze, the God of Kindness blushed slightly and looked away reproachfully: "Why are you staring at me like that all of a sudden? We've known each other for so many years, do you think I wouldn't understand what you mean?"

"I will hurry up and find a successor."

The evil god chuckled, "Why search? Isn't there one right here?"

The God of Kindness asked in surprise, "Who?"

The God of Evil: "Yun Tian, ​​if that brat Shura can create two gods, why can't we?"

God of Kindness: "But he only has one martial soul, and he also has Xiao Wu as the vessel for the Asura Sword Sheath."

The God of Evil: "Isn't it enough for the gods to grant me a martial soul? You and I, evil and good, are inherently inseparable!"

"As for the vessel, with so many soul beasts inside that kid, he can just pick one at random, right?" (End of Chapter)
