The Holy Path of the Primordial World Shines Brightly

Chapter 100 The Hidden Secrets of the Demonic Path, The God of Licking!

"Black Sun was robbed a while ago and stabbed in the back, so it's normal for him to become withdrawn."

The Great Free Heaven Demon Lord said quietly, "But don't worry, with his ability to adjust his mindset, he will surely recover one day."

"Sigh." The Demon Lord sighed as he spoke, "This era, without that guy jumping around and making big news every now and then, is as calm as a stagnant pool. It's really hard to get used to."

"Weren't there clashes between liches and demons, and battles between celestials and humans?" Primal chuckled. "How come everything's calm now? It's still quite lively, isn't it?"

"It's lively as it is, but the execution isn't flashy enough." Da Zizai Tian shook his head. "Although the average strength of this era surpasses that of the previous one, and the battles are more brutal, in terms of strategic maneuvering, it's ultimately not as exciting as the Dragon-Phoenix Tribulation or the Dao-Demon Tribulation—you never know how the situation will reverse in the next moment!"

"Now, the actors are still the same actors, but they can't find the feeling they used to have."

"That's because we used up all the crazy tricks we could think of back then..." Yuan Shi said calmly. "If this era were to repeat itself, people would naturally get tired of it."

"No, no, no... I don't think these are the key issues," Da Zizaitian denied. "The real key issue is that some of the main actors are slacking off too much. Some of the main actors are just going through the motions, playing minor roles. They're not professional or focused."

"Just getting by—like that dark, sunless day, how long has it been since it last blew a bubble?"

"Ugh!"

"I miss him while he's been gone."

The Demon Lord looked up at the sky, his face showing sorrow and grief.

"You really miss him?" Yuanshi's expression was strange. "If you truly consider him a friend, then why did you accept the merits from the Creation Demon Lord?"

"You know perfectly well who's behind the Creation Demon Lord... This blatant malicious targeting is pushing Hei Ritian into a fire pit."

"And they call this friendship?!"

"Hehe." The Great Freedom Demon Lord laughed, showing no shame or remorse despite being rebuked by the Primordial One. "I need to eat too!"

"My backer is struggling to make ends meet these days, so I have no choice but to fend for myself... Besides, isn't betraying friends and turning on each other exactly what we, the demonic cultivators, are supposed to do?"

The Great Free Heavenly Demon Lord spoke with righteous indignation and conviction.

He's involved in the demonic path!

These days, how many successful practitioners of the demonic path don't clamor for the destruction of the world?

He's just betraying a teammate, what's the big deal?

Besides...

"Didn't you also take money from the Demon Lord of Creation? Doesn't your conscience hurt?" He glanced sideways at Yuanshi. "Everyone knows what happened, so let's not try to hide it."

"Besides, there's more to this than meets the eye..."

The two demon lords looked at each other for a moment, then burst into laughter, appearing extremely joyful.

"Hehe... Haha!"

Then, they moved on from the topic and changed the subject.

What is tacit understanding?

This is!

However, just as they were chatting happily, suddenly—

"boom!"

A terrifying pressure surged from the void, shaking the great order of this world, causing the sky to collapse, the earth to crack, and the world to shatter!

"Um?"

The two demon lords frowned, but without making a move, all the destruction was reversed, returning everything to its previous state of perfection.

But this is not the end.

"what!"

In a daze, it seemed as if the most ancient demon god was roaring and howling, his voice filled with boundless hatred, threatening to shatter the past, present, and future!

An unparalleled powerhouse!

"Clang!"

Along with the roars, there was also the extremely grating sound of chains clanging.

The combination of the two vividly conjures up such a scene in the mind of any living being who hears it—

An ancient and terrifying demon god was imprisoned, bound, and suppressed for eternity, never to see the light of day again!

"here we go again."

The Great Free Heaven Demon Lord remained calm. "He seems to have been quite active lately?"

"After all, he saw an opportunity." Primal smiled. "With humanity leaderless, it's the perfect time to stir up trouble—who knows, he might just run away?"

"We'll have to be careful then," said the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord. "Otherwise, if something goes wrong, we'll have a real headache."

"If things go wrong, we'll be the ones taking the blame... That won't do!"

"Rest assured," Yuan Shi said calmly. "The Supreme Heavenly Demon Lord is currently residing there, so nothing will go wrong."

This seems to be an affirmation of his statement.

Soon, a supreme and ancient aura of vicissitudes flowed, soothing all the strange phenomena, extinguishing the restlessness, and restoring peace and tranquility to this world.

—The prisoner, plotting and acting on his escape, is suppressed by the guards, continuing the trajectory of the past.

"Very good, very good." The Great Free Heaven Demon Lord nodded, looking very satisfied. "It is best that the Demon Ancestor has returned to his position."

After the initial satisfaction came a sense of melancholy. "Sigh... why can't the Demon Ancestor ever understand our good intentions?"

"We're doing this for his own good!"

"Those who cultivate should abandon the Tao and see nothing else... All things in the primordial world are like dreams and illusions."

"How can you just think about going out and becoming a king or a tyrant?"

"The Demon Ancestor certainly possesses great talent and unparalleled wisdom... but he has strayed from the right path and gone astray!"

"As the Demon Ancestor of Destruction, one must act like a master of the Great Dao of Destruction."

"In order to help the Demon Ancestor get back on the right track, for his own good, and to assist and urge him to cultivate, we Demon Lords have really gone to great lengths and exhausted all our efforts."

"Sigh...we're having such a tough time!"

The Great Free Heaven Demon Lord sighed, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and wiped the corner of his eye as if to wipe away non-existent tears.

"Yes, it's been so tough for us!" The Primordial Demon Lord sniffed and feigned sadness. "To help the Demon Ancestor improve his cultivation and to realize his grand ambition—that the higher the righteous path, the higher the demonic path, and one day possess the power to destroy the primordial world—we've really racked our brains and come up with countless feasible and impractical methods."

"Finally, we have the perfect plan we have now: to create the ultimate destroyer of the primordial world."

"Full of passion, unwavering loyalty... but who can know? Who can understand?"

Yuanshi cried out, his voice filled with the grievance of not being understood.

"We risked everything to rescue the Demon Ancestor from Hongjun, and with the Black Sun Demon Lord's strategy, we forcibly seized key authority from the Heavenly Dao. This not only continues the Demonic Path's fortune, but also enhances the Demon Ancestor's cultivation and promotes the development of the Primordial World... a triple win!"

"Alas, the Demon Ancestor does not understand us... He treats his subjects like dirt and enemies!"

"But it doesn't matter... Our loyalty is as clear as the heavens and the sun and moon. After countless ages, the Demon Ancestor will understand."

"That's right!" The Great Free Heaven Demon Lord wholeheartedly agreed. "Although what we are doing to help the Demon Ancestor now is somewhat dirty and difficult... after countless years, he will recognize our merits."

"Knowing that bearing the work of a scavenger is so beneficial, both to him and to the primordial world."

"To be a useful demon, to realize one's own value in demonic life, is happiness, is beauty!"

The two demon lords spoke in unison, seemingly addressing each other, yet also seemingly speaking to a specific person.

"Drink!"

The strange phenomena that had been suppressed were reappearing with great difficulty, and the faint roars were filled with hatred and bitterness.

The Primal Demon Lord ignored him and said to the Great Freedom Heaven Demon Lord, "Exactly!"

"The Great Evolution reaches fifty, the Heavenly Dao reaches forty-nine, leaving a sliver of hope and uncertainty."

"The existence of variables means that anything is possible, the world has room for improvement, and all living beings have the possibility of transcendence."

"But even though this variable is described as a sign of life... it doesn't mean it will only have a positive effect."

"The Way has no good or evil, no right or wrong; it is only the human heart that can discern it."

"If used well, it will be good; if used badly, it will be bad."

"This applies to living beings, and it applies to the world as well... No matter what happens, there is always the possibility of unpredictable changes that can go beyond the norm and lead to sudden changes."

"When Pangu separated heaven and earth, he established the principle of 49 and 1. His original intention was good, to place his hopes on the world and all living beings so that they could undergo positive changes, turn the impossible into the possible, and embark on the path of eternity and transcendence." The Primordial One lamented, "Unfortunately, most of the time, positive changes are few and far between, and most changes are in a bad direction."

"Like some beings who failed to attain immortality, yet still hoped for eternal life... and they actually achieved it, but became zombies, detached from reincarnation and wandering outside the three realms... Heh!"

"Some worlds have been destroyed and should have been reduced to ruins... but they have managed to find a chance to survive in the impossible and have revived in the most bizarre way, which has resulted in a kind of malignant tumor of time."

"These are all distortions!"

"This needs to be corrected!"

"Yes." The Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord nodded. "The suicidal instincts of those beings, the errors that occur during the operation of the laws... to the Supreme Dao, these are actually insignificant."

"The birth and death of the universe is a manifestation of the Tao, so why should we care?"

"When the primordial world is destroyed, it is destroyed; when all living beings die, they die... Life and death are all evolutions of the Dao."

"However, humanity, representing the collective will of all sentient beings, is unwilling to accept this... It is taking action for self-preservation and for the eternal existence of the world!"

"But this is not easy..." the Demon Lord sighed. "Even with the Heavenly Dao grasping the general direction, and with the Heavenly Will and Authority of the Three Thousand Great Luo Immortals, at the cost of exhausting Hongjun to death, to maintain a stable and balanced development within a certain framework, minor errors in the process and 'viruses' in the world still emerge one after another."

"My demonic path thus came into being, becoming the most direct and violent tool for eliminating viruses... Destroying Demon Ancestor Rahu and slaughtering Demon Ancestor Styx were its greatest pillars."

"The Styx River governs karma, with a crimson lotus of karmic fire and two killing swords, busy punishing those who have a strong desire to die and put it into action... It is active in every calamity."

"Lord Rahu controls destruction, which is of paramount importance."

"Constantly clean up and delete redundant data and even viruses from each piece of software in the entire system, completely destroying them... so that the system can run smoothly."

"If the system encounters a virus that's difficult to eliminate, it can be formatted, or even forcibly disassembled into parts, starting all over again, reassembled, restarted, and the system software reprogrammed!"

"This is unparalleled merit!" exclaimed the Great Freedom Demon Lord, moved. "However, obtaining this merit is somewhat troublesome... well, the universe created by Pangu is so vast!"

"Boundless universe, endless elements, infinite years... Even though the Great Luo possesses the ability to be eternally free in endless time and space, it is not easy to bear this burden; it is almost eternal suppression."

"But how much would destroying these mutated viruses contribute to the ascension of the Great Dao of Destruction?"

"Although it sounds a bit unpleasant to say, like a garbage can or garbage disposal... the most important thing is that it's affordable."

The Demon Lord clasped his hands together, his expression one of utmost piety. "Such an enhancement to one's cultivation will be of immense help to the Demon Ancestor, and our demonic path will thus be blessed with profound fortune and an immortal legacy..."

"Lord Rahu has only been resurrected for a short time, and he cannot yet appreciate our loyalty or understand the benefits it brings to him... But it doesn't matter, there are many days to come."

"His father will understand one day..."

"roar!"

The roar from the void seemed even louder.

In the end, however, it all fell into silence.

……

The secrets of the demonic path are unknown to the world.

Although this faction often does evil and commits countless killings, during the Dragon and Phoenix Era, their demonic flames shrouded the sky, making them invincible.

However, the deepest secrets are beyond the imagination of most people.

This was beyond Feng Xi's imagination.

Now, looking at the almost dried-up river of time, at the ruins of the battlefield where the Great Luo clashed, he felt lingering fear, and had too many emotions and relief.

The reason for this lament is that a great immortal fell from grace so easily, which shows how difficult it is to survive in this era... So what if he was a great immortal? So what if it's the will of Heaven?

Those who don't take sides will face a tragic end!

Having just reached the pinnacle of the world, finally able to play chess, he was crushed to death by someone picking up the chessboard, falling from the peak to the dust, sinking into immeasurable calamities... In a word—tragic!

Fortunately, he had already chosen a side and was a member of the Witch Clan, and was entrusted with important responsibilities, so he didn't have to worry about such an embarrassing situation.

Feng Xi's gaze deepened, his lips tightening under his silence. "It seems I'll have to praise Lady Houtu more often in the future, make her happy, and get her approval to grant me the Great Luo Dao certification..."

"No, it can't be called flattery...wouldn't that make me a sycophantic and treacherous villain?"

"It should be said that they have deeply understood the thoughts of Lady Houtu, are proactive and enterprising, and their loyal hearts shine brightly, giving full play to their initiative..."

This isn't called sycophancy; this is called thinking of the leader's needs and sharing the leader's concerns.

Thinking this, Feng Xi sealed his insights from observing and proving the Dao into his heart, then immediately sat down, took out paper and pen, and began to write attentively.

A letter of self-criticism!

With all my wisdom and in the most eloquent words, I express my most sincere remorse at this moment. There should be no doubt that the higher-ups have engaged in any despicable acts. Empress Houtu will forever be a paragon of virtue and noble character, a model for all living beings in the world…

During this process, Feng Xi removed the cloth strip from his forehead, causing Mini Houtu to shine and become aware of his actions.

These days, being a "loyal minister" isn't so easy—only loyalty that is known to others has meaning!
