Immortality: Starting with a grave, I'm invincible when burying corpses.

"At first, I wasn't sure if this guess was correct, after all, it was indeed a very terrifying thing. But after a month of observation, I have made a preliminary discovery about what the Nine Nether Demon Abyss is all about."

The calm words were like a raging storm, crashing into Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's heart with overwhelming force, chilling him to the bone, and leaving him unable to think for a short period of time.

But Mu An's narration did not stop because of Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's terrible condition. No matter how desperate Xuan Yuan Wu Mu was, Mu An continued to tell the truth about the Demon Abyss with a blank expression.

"The so-called Demon Abyss Will is not the world will in the conventional sense, but the self-will of a powerful being called Demon Abyss."

The demons in the Demon Abyss are products born from his cultivation process.

This is a very special way of practicing, and it is almost impossible to replicate.

By spreading his will and body, Mo Yuan created avatars that appeared independent but were actually closely connected to his original self.

These incarnations themselves are unaware of their own identities, believing themselves to be independent beings. They live in the Abyss like normal beings, experiencing their own joys and sorrows.

They will pursue power, authority, and the ultimate dream of immortality, just like humans, possessing a complete social system. However, they are more greedy than humans and will demand everything regardless of the cost.

It is this greed that drives the demons in the Nine Nether Abyss to launch wars outwards, swallowing up other worlds one after another...

This is both because these demons desire greater power and because the will of the Abyss is subtly influencing them.

The higher the level of life, the more intense its influence on the surrounding environment, and the Abyss itself is undoubtedly a very advanced life form.

As the discussion about the Nine Nether Demon Abyss deepened, the color drained from Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's face, and as his body trembled uncontrollably, his face turned deathly pale.

But Mu An did not comfort him; instead, she continued to recount the cruel reality.

"The 'true name' that you know is actually the outward manifestation of this inheritance. The so-called 'true name' is essentially a mark left by the Demon Abyss when it differentiated the body and the will."

Because the True Name carries a small portion of the Demon Abyss's will, it possesses extraordinary power. The demons in the Demon Abyss become stronger because of the True Name, but they are also firmly locked down by the Demon Abyss's will because of the True Name.

Whether it's a true demon or a great demon, the Demon Abyss's will can reclaim everything they possess with a single thought.

All their efforts and the power they gained will eventually be transformed into resources as they pass away, merging into their true name and becoming part of the abyss of demons.

The more worlds conquered, the more true names the Demon Abyss's will will emanate, and the Demon Abyss will become increasingly powerful.

Perhaps millions of years ago, the Abyss had only one layer, but now it has expanded to nine layers, devouring dozens, even hundreds, of worlds, becoming an undisputed behemoth.

"And you, the Blooming Spirit Realm..."

Under Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's despairing gaze, Mu An uttered the coldest words.

"This world was swallowed up by the Abyss thousands of years ago. However, for some reason, the will of the Abyss did not completely transform you into demons. Instead, it allowed you to continue living in this world and perpetuate the past history."

Perhaps it's because there's something in your world that the Demon Abyss should pay attention to, perhaps it's to explore new power systems, or perhaps it's to preserve the creativity that belongs to the cultivation civilization.

I have no way of knowing why you have been able to survive to this day, but I do know.

Your world has long been corrupted by the Abyss of Demons. If the will of the Abyss were to move even a thought, the entire Spirit Blossom Realm would be utterly destroyed and become part of the Abyss of Demons…”

Despair spread through his heart; Xuan Yuan Wu Mu never imagined the truth would be like this.

Over the years, he had considered countless possibilities and imagined one terrible scenario after another, but he never imagined that the truth could be so cruel.

It was so cruel that no matter how much he struggled, it was all in vain.

"Has the Spirit Realm already perished...? It perished thousands of years ago..."

"Then what are we?"

"Undead? Ghosts?"

My icy hands hung limply at my sides, a bone-chilling cold sweeping over my entire body.

Xuanyuan Wumu collapsed to the ground, his body supported only by a bookshelf on one side.

My mind went blank, the whole world lost its color, and only a piercing buzzing sound filled my ears.

Amidst the dizzying spin, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu hugged his knees tightly, curling up in the corner of the bookshelf.

It seemed that only in this way could he find some solace.

Ah, what utter despair this is...

It's all over, nothing matters anymore...

Xuanyuan Wumu was nothing but a joke from beginning to end.

No, it wasn't just him; the Taiyuan Empire, the Four-Way Alliance, the Icefield Clan...

War after war against the demons, and countless heroes who died in those wars...

Generation after generation has followed one another, a great tradition that has never been interrupted for thousands of years...

Everything is meaningless.

They did nothing; they failed to protect anyone.

All the efforts over the past few thousand years, and the countless sacrifices made for it, have been nothing but a joke.

In Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's eyes, the whole world dimmed. He slumped against the bookshelf, his eyes losing their luster.

Above his head was the most magnificent dome of the Heavenly Book Academy, a masterpiece of architecture in the Spirit Realm, and also Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's favorite place when he was a child.

The dome of the Heavenly Book Academy is a vast starry sky, with countless golden characters flowing through it, combining civilization with the galaxy.

But at this moment, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu felt that all of this was utterly ridiculous.

The more vast the starry sky above, the more ridiculous these people appear.

This magnificent Heavenly Book Academy is the final resting place of Xuanyuan Wumu, where he will meet his end.

Oh no……

He almost forgot that his life, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's life, no longer belonged to him. Even if he wanted to end this ridiculous life here, he would have to get the senior's permission first.

Yes, just as the fate of their Spirit Realm depends on the will of the Demon Abyss, his fate, Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's fate, will also be decided by the Great Senior.

The world, and the people living in it, are all powerless and utterly ridiculous.

In a daze, Xuanyuan Wumu smiled.

The laughter was mournful, desperate, and manic.

Amidst the laughter, Mu An sought Xuan Yuan Wu Mu's opinion for the first time.

"Young man, just as I promised you at the beginning, I will bestow upon you a great fortune. Now, it is your turn to make the decision."
