The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

Wenfu continued to reflect, "How could this be? There was nothing unusual found in the main body there..."

He began to recall that his original body, Wen Fu, had once entered the source of demonic energy and demonized Hong Liu's body. From then on, he survived by absorbing demonic energy, lived in Fanqian City, and encountered other people who had escaped from Lanju Realm.

Those ghosts in the realm of orchids are striving to escape the predicament of the willow demon's body craving flesh and blood but unable to advance and ascend, wanting to walk in the sunlight again.

Wen Fu went with the flow, pretending to be the city lord and recognizing them, becoming the mastermind behind everything. At that time, the evil demon Qianyu suddenly appeared and challenged many powerful figures in the demon realm.

At this moment, Wenfu's gaze fell on Qianyu.

The power of the people in the Guanglanju Realm is not enough. The Heavenly Dao is constantly weakening. In order to preserve the Spirit Realm and quickly gain control of all forces, they need to choose a target, someone who is completely opposed to spiritual cultivation and can be pushed out at any time, the "real culprit".

After that, Wenfu and Qianyu formed an alliance and offered up fragments of the Heavenly Dao to help him secure his position as Demon Lord, and he became the city lord of Fanqian City.

The ever-increasing flow of demonic energy confirmed that the Heavenly Dao of this realm was about to collapse. In order to relieve the pressure on the Heavenly Dao of the Dongming Realm, Wen Fu made a decision based on the unprecedented number of spiritual cultivators.

When the demons massacred the village, Wenfu took the corpses back and experimented on them. At first, they were the dead, but the dead could not avoid reincarnation, so Wenfu decided to use the living to modify them.

Evil people deserve to die, so he followed the divine way's perception of evil deeds and found many sinful places.

The gradually distorted subject descended into paranoid madness, thinking, "Evil people don't deserve to be human. Their survival is a waste of spiritual power and will only accelerate the collapse of the world. So let's become demons and escape the cycle of reincarnation."

Meanwhile, the remaining clones, who were still relatively clear-headed, realized that the main body was out of control and gradually discovered that something was wrong.

The clones are consciously suffering, painfully committing evil, yet they also hope that "their sins are in this generation, but their merits will last for generations."

Since he had already done it, he could only see it through to the end, going all the way down a dark path. At least he had indeed slowed down the decline of the Heavenly Dao and was cleaning up the way for the future.

The fewer spiritual cultivators there are, the more the Insightful Realm can survive; the fewer fellow disciples possess innate spiritual objects, the less likely the Supreme Sect will sacrifice all of them to the heavens.

"Impossible, how could this be? If it's from the external laws of heaven, if it came from the source of demonic energy..."

The spirit is in grave danger, just like the physical body, its worldview shattered.

"Then this fragment of the Heavenly Dao has been lurking in the Insightful Realm for six thousand years," Wen Fu murmured softly.

Even though he had realized that his body was out of control, there was still not much he could do. The spirit itself could not go against the true will and affect the main body.

and……

"Junior Sister, that monk... that monk... once told me that the water in Fusifang is very deep. All I see are trees that are exposed above the ground, but someone will dig up the soil and see a huge root system that stretches for thousands of miles."

"He said that person would solve my deadly predicament. She has no special talents or magical artifacts, yet she can overpower a group of geniuses with her own strength. That person... is my fellow disciple, the one who will end me and end everything."

Lin Du was taken aback. "A monk? Wei Zhi?"

"What did Wei Zhi say? When did he say it?"

Hasn't Wei Zhi always... stayed out of it?

What does he actually know?

"He... was searching for information about you when you became number one on the Qingyun Ranking."

Lin Du frowned and read it again, "Danger, stop."

"I have suffered repeated setbacks at your hands, so I chose to believe that monk and gave you and the sect the first warning. When you discovered the spirit, I was willing to give you a second reason to investigate Fusifang, but you have not come."

Wenfu said softly, "Junior Sister, if only you... had come earlier."

Upon hearing this, Lin Du closed his eyes briefly. "Is it because I was late?"

"Senior brother, I call you senior brother because you truly taught me something."

"You've traveled a long way to meet me."

In the previous life, everything had already ended. The Supreme Sect had completely withered and died out. Except for Jiang Liang and Lin Du, all the ninety-ninth generation members died in battle. In the hundredth generation, Jin Xuan's whereabouts were unknown, Mo Lin had died long before that, Xia Tian was devoid of any interest in life, Yuan Ye died in battle, and Yan Qing was seriously injured.

Wen Fu also began to realize that things were not going in the direction he had expected. The only ones who truly benefited were the increasingly powerful fragments of the Heavenly Dao, and Qian Yu was also becoming strange, as if he was being completely transformed by the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

It was only then that Wen Fu realized something was wrong with the fragments of the Heavenly Dao. He lured the "dead man" Lin Du to appear, and Lin Du voluntarily went to his death, offering up the notebook that recorded his entire mental journey and secret techniques.

"But senior brother, it really took me a very, very long time and a very long distance to get here."

"Senior brother, I regret not coming sooner than you do."

Lin Du closed his eyes, stood on the ravaged land, and before the completely silent stone tablet, and said softly, "I guess the fragments of the Heavenly Dao want to devour the innate spiritual objects of this world, grow stronger, and then devour the Heavenly Dao of this world. Using demons to weaken the Spirit World is probably also part of its plan and manipulation."

"I will indeed end all of this. Without you, we wouldn't have discovered the real enemy so soon—this enemy that has been lurking for six thousand years. But senior brother, have you ever heard the desperate cries and thoughts of someone who can neither live nor die?"

"You've heard of one, but what about tens of thousands together?"

She considered herself to be of strong character, but even she could not bear such despair, and was even afraid of it.

"I will kill you all with my own hands; this is my promise to you."

Lin Du put away the Soul-Nourishing Wood and turned to look at Feng Chao and Lin Tuan, who had arrived at some unknown time. She blinked and suddenly felt a little aggrieved.

"He's the one in the wrong, not you. You've done a great job, you couldn't have done better."

She held back, bit her lower lip, and forced a smile, calling out indistinctly, "Senior Uncle, Senior Sister."

Lin Tuan waved and gently patted her head. "It's okay, it will all be over. You've already gotten ahead of the world in the shortest time and at the fastest speed."

"Exactly," Feng Yi said coldly, arms crossed, "A man several hundred years old blaming a child for stopping him from committing a crime too late—isn't that just being unreasonable?"

Lin Du chuckled indistinctly, then was pulled into Lin Tuan's arms. He buried his face completely in her loose clothes and murmured, "Mmm."

On the other side, the five who had just finished clearing out Fusifang jumped out, and Yuan Ye shouted, "Hey! Junior Uncle! Guess what!"

Ni Jinxuan quickly chimed in, "Junior Uncle! Yan Qing has found the autobiography of the former newspaper owner of Fusifang! It turns out that the Qingyun Ranking and Chongxiao Ranking were indeed created by them."

Yan Qing held up a thick leather-bound book. "Hey, Junior Uncle! Guess what! No matter how this person ranked the strength, there were always people who disagreed. He'd get criticized wherever he went, saying it was unfair, that he'd taken money, that it wasn't up to standard, and that the ranking was wrong!"

"This guy's ideal is to create the most fair and credible list, but he's never succeeded. He's constantly being criticized, and his life is in danger. People who disagree with him keep coming to beat him up," Yan Qing said, shaking his head and sighing.

"As a result, he encountered a Tree of Origin, a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, and a secret method to glimpse the specific secrets of heaven. He also carved two stone tablets himself, which became the Azure Cloud Ranking and the Chongxiao Ranking, one for talent and the other for strength."

"You know what, the owner of this newspaper is quite idealistic. His original intention was not to make a profit from it, but to create a list that would be the least controversial."

The five members of the Paw Patrol exclaimed in unison, "Such pure people, such dirty fragments of the Way of Heaven."

"Hey, where's Junior Uncle?" Yan Qing finally realized something was wrong after saying that. "Junior Uncle is...?"

Lin Du silently stepped out of Lin Tuan's arms, cleared his throat, and put on a cool, aloof expression, as if nothing had happened. "I heard you, I heard you. Did you find any other treasures? I've been spending a bit too much on spirit crystals and array stones lately."

"As expected, the poor rely on mutations, while the rich rely on technology. You can't become a savior just by carrying a shovel; you have to burn money. I'm almost penniless." Lin Du rubbed the storage ring on his index finger and sighed deeply.

She said she really needed to find a treasury to empty her pockets.
