All Realms and Worlds: The Lost Home

"Buzz—!!!"

The intense spatial distortion felt like thousands of steel needles piercing Shen Jianxin's limbs and bones.

He was covered in blood, his tattered robes torn apart by Li Sinan's power of rules, revealing crisscrossing wounds beneath.

Each wound was deep enough to expose bone, and the dark power of the rules still lingered deep within the wounds, constantly eroding his soul and disintegrating his cultivation.

Consciousness had long since faded, and all that remained in my ears was the howling sound of turbulent space and the cracking sound of my bones breaking.

This was an emergency teleportation technique set up for him by Chen Su and Xiaoyaozi.

There are no fixed coordinates, no precise destination.

The sole purpose was to forcibly remove him from the battlefield between Li Sinan and Jiang Wuchen, preserving his last remaining trace of soul.

Shen Jianxin felt like a rootless fallen leaf, being torn apart and tossed about by the raging spatial turbulence.

His internal energy was completely disrupted, and his cultivation at the Shattered Realm was almost shattered, leaving only a faint trace of energy to barely sustain his life.

Li Sinan's attack was terrifying.

That was the power of rules at the peak of the seventh level of the Shattered Realm, showing no mercy whatsoever. If Chen Su hadn't intervened in time, he would have already been annihilated, without even the chance to be reincarnated.

Even so, he was now completely exhausted and on the verge of death.

Even more terrifying, a strange and cold power was quietly growing and spreading deep within his soul.

That's an inner demon.

It was the product of his long-suppressed obsession, grief, and resentment, which was completely detonated when he was seriously injured and his spirit was weak.

"Cough...cough cough..."

Shen Jianxin coughed up a mouthful of black blood, the blood droplets falling into the distorted spatial turbulence and being instantly swallowed up.

He struggled to open his heavy eyelids, his vision blurred, with only endless darkness and flashes of light.

Deep within his soul, a tearing pain surged forth.

He could clearly feel something slowly gnawing at his soul, devouring his memories.

Is it the power of the rules of the Li Sinan?

Or... an inner demon?

Shen Jianxin could not tell, nor was she able to tell.

All he knew was that the feeling was a thousand times more painful than the wounds on his body.

The memories in my mind began to become chaotic and disordered.

The fragments before the transmigration, the struggles after the transmigration, the days of fighting alongside Jiang Wuchen, and... the tragic death of Lin Nannan.

Those images flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern, only to shatter instantly.

Sometimes clear, sometimes blurry, sometimes upside down and disordered.

"My dear... I'm sorry..."

Shen Jianxin's lips moved with difficulty, emitting a weak and hoarse sound.

The image of Lin Nannan's tragic death kept replaying in his mind.

That innocent and carefree little girl, barely a teenager.

He was cruelly tortured and killed by Lieyangzi, and he was powerless to do anything about it.

He could only watch helplessly as Lin Nannan's smile gradually disappeared before his eyes.

Watching her life slip away bit by bit, finally turning into a pool of blood and disappearing into the ruins of the Blazing Sun Realm.

Endless regret and anger, like a tidal wave, madly overwhelmed his soul.

"Why...why am I so weak..."

"Why couldn't I protect her... Why couldn't I even protect a little girl!"

In his heart, a frantic scream raged, a mixture of grief and indignation, and a growing obsession.

There is also the obsession with returning home.

Having traveled to these myriad worlds and wandered for so long, he constantly longed for his homeland.

Missing her family and loved ones in her hometown, longing for everything about her hometown, she yearns to find a way back home.

But he didn't know where his hometown was, or where the road home led.

He could only struggle and fight hard in these myriad realms, falling into desperate situations time and time again, and escaping death time and time again.

The longing to return home, the regret and anger over Lin Nannan's death, and the humiliation of being seriously injured by Li Sinan.

All the negative emotions intertwined and, in his moment of spiritual vulnerability, completely coalesced into a demon within him.

The inner demons grew stronger and more active, frantically gnawing at his soul and devouring his memories.

He could feel his memories fading away little by little.

Those precious memories, those unforgettable moments, those beliefs that sustained him all the way.

It is being devoured little by little by its inner demons.

"No...I can't..."

A strong will to survive and a strong obsession arose in Shen Jianxin's heart.

He can't lose his memory!

If he loses his memory, he will never remember Lin Nannan again, never remember his obsession, and never remember his longing to return home.

If he loses his memory, he will no longer be Shen Jianxin, but just a soulless, mindless walking corpse.

"I can't forget... I absolutely can't forget!"

Shen Jianxin used the last bit of his remaining spiritual power to forcefully stabilize his chaotic consciousness.

He gritted his teeth, more black blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his whole body trembling violently.

Deep within his soul, he mobilized all his power, frantically suppressing his inner demons and sealing his memories.

This is a silent war.

It is a war between his id and his inner demons.

The inner demons launched a frenzied counterattack, repeatedly assaulting his soul's defenses, attempting to completely devour his memories and take over his body.

Shen Jianxin, however, relied on his last remaining obsession, his guilt towards Lin Nannan, and his longing to return home.

He tenaciously guarded his spiritual defenses, sealing his memories little by little deep within his soul.

"Seal it... Seal it for me!"

A mournful cry echoed within Shen Jianxin's soul.

He used the last bit of his divine soul power to set up a solid seal deep within his soul.

He sealed away all those precious memories, all those moments that caused him pain and obsession.

At the same time, it also temporarily sealed some of the inner demons deep in the depths of memory.

After doing all this, Shen Jianxin's last bit of strength was completely exhausted.

A wave of intense fatigue washed over him, as if his soul had been completely drained.

Consciousness was completely plunged into darkness.

In the last second before he lost consciousness, the image that flashed through his mind was still Lin Nannan's innocent and carefree smile.

"My dear girl... wait for me... I will definitely avenge you..."

This was his final obsession, and also the last sentence he left for his true self.

Then, his body, like a kite with a broken string, lost all support in the turbulent spatial currents.

"Thump—!"

With a dull thud, Shen Jianxin's body crashed heavily into a desolate mountain range.

Dust flew everywhere, and gravel flew in all directions.

He lay motionless on the ground, covered in blood, his breath so faint that he seemed about to vanish completely at any moment.

This mountain range is no ordinary place.

This is the world of evil gods where Yao Guang resides.

A place that exiles all unstable elements from all the heavens and myriad worlds, a world controlled by countless evil gods and madmen, a world without order, without mercy, only slaughter and destruction.

The mountain range where Shen Jianxin fell is one of the most bizarre and dangerous places in the entire world of evil gods.

The mountains are filled with all sorts of restrictions.

Some of those restrictions emanated a dark, malevolent aura, some flickered with an eerie red light, and some contained a violent, destructive power.

Dense and crisscrossing, the entire mountain range is shrouded in an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.

Ordinary cultivators, even those at the Breaking Realm level, would be instantly torn apart by these restrictions and their souls would be destroyed if they entered this mountain range.

Shen Jianxin was able to survive by chance, partly because of this relatively weak point in the protective barrier.

On the other hand, it was also because the residual power of Li Sinan's rules on his body unintentionally suppressed some of the low-level restrictions.

Even so, the evil energy permeating the mountains continued to relentlessly erode his body.

It seeped into his body little by little through his wounds, nourishing the inner demons deep within his soul that had not been completely sealed away.

Time slips away, little by little.

Shen Jianxin remained motionless on the ground, as if he were dead.

But a tremendous change is taking place inside his body.

Deep within his soul, the seal he had laid down was gradually loosening.

The part of the inner demon sealed within is gradually awakening and growing stronger under the nourishment of the evil energy of the mountains.

That inner demon was formed from Shen Jianxin's obsession with returning home and his hatred for Lin Nannan's death.

However, when Shen Jianxin sealed his memories, he also sealed his obsession with returning home deep within his soul.

Therefore, the awakened inner demons lost their obsession with returning home.

He didn't know what his hometown was, where the road home was, or even why he longed to return.

Only one emotion remained in his mind.

That is, endless hatred.

Hatred for Lin Nannan's death, hatred for those from all realms who tortured and killed Lin Nannan.

There is also hatred for Li Sinan, hatred for his own weakness, and hatred for all the myriad realms.

Hatred, like a poisonous vine, grew and spread wildly within his soul.

He grew stronger and more active, and began to frantically challenge the seal set up by Shen Jianxin.

He wanted to break free of the seal, to possess Shen Jianxin's body, and to vent the endless hatred in his heart.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Deep within his soul, muffled impacts echoed continuously.

That was an inner demon, frantically pounding against Shen Jianxin's seal.

Shen Jianxin's ego had long since fallen into a deep sleep and was no longer able to resist.

Although the seal he set up was sturdy, it began to crack under the impact of the ever-growing inner demons.

The cracks grew larger and more numerous.

Finally, with a loud crash, the seal shattered completely!

"roar--!!!"

A fierce and violent roar erupted from the depths of Shen Jianxin's soul.

The inner demon finally broke through the seal and completely took over Shen Jianxin's body!

Shen Jianxin's body, lying on the ground, trembled violently.

His eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.

But at this moment, his eyes had completely changed.

It was no longer the weariness, regret, and pain of before.

Instead, there was only darkness, coldness, and an intense, unyielding hatred and madness.

His pupils turned pitch black, devoid of any light, as if they could devour everything.

The aura emanating from him also became violent and eerie.

The originally faint aura is rapidly increasing, and the damaged body is being gradually repaired under the nourishment of the evil energy.

However, the aura emanating from him was no longer the demonic energy that Shen Jianxin originally possessed.

Instead, it was filled with evil, destructive power, and endless hatred.

The inner demon possessed Shen Jianxin's body, feeling the power of this body and the endless hatred in his heart.

Only one thought occupied his mind—killing!

Kill everyone who angers him, kill all the weak creatures, kill everything in all the myriad realms!

But he didn't know who he was going to kill.

All he knew was that he harbored an endless hatred in his heart, which needed to be vented through killing and quelled with bloodshed.

He even began to confuse his own identity.

He didn't know he was a demon in his heart; all he knew was that this body belonged to him.

All he knew was that the hatred in his heart was his own.

He gradually realized that he was Shen Jianxin.

Shen Jianxin, that's him.

He forgot that he was a manifestation of his inner demons, and forgot that Shen Jianxin's true self was still dormant deep within his soul.

All he remembered was the endless hatred in his heart, and the desire to kill and destroy.

Without realizing it, he had completely changed.

It was no longer just a simple inner demon, but had become Shen Jianxin's second personality.

A personality filled with hatred, madness, and destructive desire!
