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

The group searched for the iron coffin in the sea with great difficulty, only to encounter the notorious street urchin, the Orchid Whale.

It chirped a few times at the group, and everyone looked on in confusion before turning to look at the only demon in the group.

Yue Han looked innocent. "Why are you all staring at me like that?"

"You don't understand?" Ni Jinxuan asked, her words carrying a profound question. "You're all demons."

Yue Han looked even more innocent. "Guess why our demon race isn't united? When different races argue, we have to use your human language!"

Lin Du realized that the reason why human cultivators were so united and their economy was so developed was because they could communicate in the same language.

"And let's not even talk about us land creatures. The bird race has a unified official language, but each species in the sea has its own language. When they meet, they rely entirely on physical performances. Who can understand that?" Yue Han revealed a mask of pain.

Everyone was speechless. The Reverse Halberd Whale grew anxious and used its spiritual power to create a bubble for the group of people. Then, it carried the bubble forward on its forehead.

Members of the Supreme Sect: ...

They don't seem to be here to cause trouble, so let's leave.

After being pushed a distance, everyone realized why this huge thing was carrying them.

It turned out that their iron coffins had been surrounded by a group of fish watching the spectacle.

If I had to describe the current situation, it would be, "What is this thing? I took a peck at it, something's not right, I'm leaving."

Next, "What is this thing? I took a bite, but something's not right. I'm leaving."

This process was repeated until all the fish began to turn belly up.

Yue Han's eyes widened like saucers. "...Oh my god, it's poisonous!!!"

Everyone rushed forward to provide first aid, lifted the coffin up, and thanked the Reverse-Halberd Whale in a friendly manner.

Yue Han even gave him a bag of premium dried insects, which wasn't even enough to fill a tooth gap, but the Reverse-Gallopian Whale was still very happy.

Don't let their small size fool you, these spiritual practitioners are actually quite adorable.

When everyone carried the coffin to the sea, they discovered that the island had already collapsed and no longer existed.

Yue Han was dumbfounded. "The island is gone?! Where are we going to carry it? It's so heavy."

They stood there bewildered for a moment on the sea. Lin Du quickly pulled out the spirit boat. "Hurry up, get on."

There are more important things to do.

After thoroughly sorting out the contents of the coffin, Yan Qing and Yuan Ye placed the iron coffin separately in a small storage ring for future research. The group then went out to watch the sunrise together at sea.

The moment the sun broke through the horizon, Ni Jinxuan suddenly asked, "Then what exactly is a god?"

"How can one become a god? The way of gods and incense is based on helping and saving people and fulfilling their wishes. But why is it that after fulfilling their wishes and reaching the end of their cultivation, so many people compete for a chance to have their wishes fulfilled, yet they are still dissatisfied and overthrow the gods?"

"I thought the fallen gods did bad things, but was it just because people's faith collapsed?"

Lin Du patted her head, "Don't believe everything you see."

"Fear, anger, and greed are the easiest emotions to exploit and spread within groups. Groups are easily manipulated and guided, eventually falling into a state of low-intelligence madness. But these groups can also collapse in an instant."

"This only proves that this incense-burning religion is wrong. They project all their desires onto the gods, and when they gradually discover that the gods cannot fully satisfy their desires, the backlash will be extremely severe."

"It relies on faith to become a god, but there are three thousand other great paths in the world, where one can become an immortal or even a god by relying on one's own efforts."

Lin Du also helps people, but she doesn't need faith; what she needs is the growth of her own Daoist heart.

"You say the gods are innocent?" Lin Du paused. "Indeed, their initial intentions and actions were good, but they forgot one thing."

"The beads formed from the power of wishes were scattered across the world, attracting countless people to fight over them."

"How can believers gain divine mercy? How can they snatch that bead? How do you think such a pile of white bones and a glass bead that is only enough to cover the top layer can be divided fairly?" Lin Du looked at Ni Jinxuan.

Ni Jinxuan tried to think about it, "Does it mean we have to compete on how much vow power we give, how devout we are, and how much we sacrifice?"

"Gods are supposed to be fair and just in helping people, but when they are not fair enough, a lot of chaos will arise."

"Therefore, the moment Liuli emerged, the altar was destined to collapse."

"Before becoming a god, saving one person or ten thousand people is still saving. After becoming a god, saving all living beings is acceptable, but saving only one person among all living beings is wrong." Lin Du patted Ni Jinxuan's head as she pondered. "She has gone down the wrong path."

Ni Jinxuan thought about it seriously, "I probably can't become a god. I just want to save everyone I encounter."

"Master always tells us to be down-to-earth and that cultivation is about making ourselves stronger so we can protect more people. But if we become gods, we can't save everyone. It's better if we don't become gods."

"Don't be a god, be yourself." Lin Du looked at the waves carved out by the stern of the ship on the sea. "You can't change your original intention, but the higher you go, the heavier the responsibility becomes, and the methods and rules have to change."

Can only benevolent gods truly last forever?

Having learned their lesson, the fallen gods, tainted by the three poisons, abandoned mercy and resorted to endless conspiracies and tricks.

First, he sought to reshape his divine status. After failing, he began to seek to become the Heavenly Dao of this world. He schemed to use others, constantly lured and captured the talented spiritual beings of this world, and devoured everything. When the Heavenly Dao was out of balance, he would take its place, high above and above all, looking down on all living beings.

"Hey! Lin Du!" Yue Han pointed to the gray, pointed fins emerging from the sea, "That big guy just came up and chased us again. Do you think it's going to blow bubbles at us again?"

Lin Du stared intently, then leaped into the air, maneuvering the spirit boat to take off from its spot. "They're probably not here to spit bubbles, they're here to spit bones."

Yue Han looked bewildered. "Huh?"

"That's a greyback shark, it eats people!" Yan Qing squinted, "It also eats birds."

"Run! Run! They've burst out of the sea!!" Yue Han screamed.

Ni Jinxuan lashed out with her whip, knocking the huge monster that was about to bite the side of the boat down with it.

The monstrous beast with its sharp teeth was struck by the whip, its skin and bones shattered, and it plunged into the sea with a splash, creating a bloody wave.

Ni Jinxuan turned to look at Yue Han.

Yue Han silently closed her mouth. "Don't look at me like that. It makes me feel useless."

"It's alright, we're heading to the Demon Realm soon," Ni Jinxuan comforted her. "You're still useful."

Yan Qing nodded. "By the way, Yue Han, where are we going first? Can you show us the way?"

Yue Han was confused, Yue Han was short-circuited, Yue Han pulled out a huge blueprint, "Wait a minute, let me take a look."

Yan Qing: ...

"How about we have Junior Uncle do it?" He automatically gave up on relying on Yue Han.

With tears in her eyes, Yue Han shook the map so loudly it rattled, and declared in a resounding voice, "I can do it!!!"

Unexpectedly, the moment they landed in the demon realm, they encountered a massive earthquake, and all the birds and beasts fled in all directions.

"The Heavenly Dao of the Insightful Realm... why is it still declining?" Lin Du immediately realized that this was not a natural collapse, but caused by the disorder of the rules. She turned back with concern and looked at Hou Cang.

Logically speaking, the conspiracies of the previous life should have been almost fully exposed, including Hou Cang's sacrificial ceremony, which was also a conspiracy. But looking at the current situation...

Hou Cang was bewildered by the look he was being given. "Why are you looking at me like that? I may be capable, but I didn't do it. I didn't intend to retaliate against the demon realm."
