"Can't wait?" Wang Lu was curious about Ouyang Shang's speculation.
"It's very simple. With the potential of the golden generation, it will be meaningless even if he makes a comeback after a few hundred years."
"Haha, what a confident statement."
"Not just confident, but the other party also believes in it … Do you still remember the conversation with him in the demon spirit dream?"
"I remember every sentence. Which sentence are you asking about?"
Ouyang Shang said, "The sentence about being blessed with great luck. At that time, I fled desperately with the Earth Escape Technique. He repeatedly chased after me without any results, so he sighed that I had luck and was blessed by the earth, so I was particularly slippery. "
Wang Lu said, "And then?"
"At that time, his attention was always locked on me."
"… Of course, the main force of the escape at that time was you. The entire demon spirit dream was basically a stage for you to fight alone. Of course, he had to focus on you."
"Not just that … You didn't face his attention at that time, so you didn't feel some subtle things. Of course, I only found it strange after thinking about it. When he spoke at that time, the focus was actually on luck. "
"Luck on my body?" Wang Lu frowned and began to think about the possible meaning of this sentence. "First of all, do you really believe in luck?"
"I'm skeptical." Ouyang Shang said, "I believe in luck. Some people are born with good luck, and some people have bad luck. This is objectively visible, and people can't help but believe it. But luck is something … unpredictable. So far, there is no perfect theory that can explain it well, so it's difficult to win people's trust. I've seen many so-called people with great luck rise to the top, but they died in the hands of others. The so-called luck is often the opposite of karma — the winner is king, and the loser is in the wrong. Those who succeed have luck, and those who don't succeed have little luck. This obviously doesn't make sense. "
Ouyang Shang even laughed at himself. "For example, I, who has luck, didn't I also die tragically in the Blacktide in your history line?"
"But at that moment, I was sure that at least the Demon King himself was serious about luck. When he said those words, his killing intent was much stronger than usual. He seems to be particularly sensitive to the matter of luck, and in the golden generation … I'm not the only one who has luck. "
Hearing this, Wang Lu also felt that it was strange. "So you think that after he tore apart his soul to escape, he continued to pester us because we have the so-called luck that he hates so much? That's strange. What exactly is this Karmic Luck that he cares so much about? "
"I don't know either, but after thinking about what the Demon King said, I have a guess." Ouyang Shang said, "His original words were: 'It turns out that you are blessed by destiny, the whole earth is protecting you, no wonder you are so slippery.'"
Wang Lu asked, "The blessing of providence and the blessing of the earth have a causal relationship, or at least a parallel relationship?"
Ouyang Shang said, "In fact, I have always been very strange. Whether it is my Spirit Root attribute or my cultivation method, there is no special skill to communicate with the earth, but the effect of my Earth element spell is particularly good. Even the elders can't come up with a reasonable explanation."
"… Because Mother Earth is sticking to you?"
"I think it's because of the so-called Karmic Luck." Ouyang Shang said and stretched out his palm in a trance. The pure King Pill true qi gently trembled in his palm. Suddenly, a rock thorn appeared out of thin air and pointed upward.
"See, actually, I just used Sand Gathering, not Rock Awl, but the effect …" Ouyang Shang shook his head and stretched out his hand to shake the rock awl away. "If it weren't for the fact that I can still accurately control the effect of the spell when I have the intention to control it, this would simply be the perfect example of spell out of control. When I first learned the five elements spell, I once thought that one of the elders was joking with me, so that I have full confidence in my cultivation. But later, when I saw that they all expressed their disbelief, I knew that it was not their doing. "
Wang Lu asked with interest, "Do you think it's because of the Karmic Luck?"
Ouyang Shang said, "Yes, and I think this is the truth of the Karmic Luck. Suppose we regard the Nine Regions as a huge creature with its own consciousness, then the so-called Karmic Luck is the reward she gives to some people who have the same appetite as her. "
Wang Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Regard the entire Nine Regions as an independent creature? That's an interesting idea, but … "
"But people often say that the world is heartless and treats all living things as straw dogs, right? I think perhaps it's not that the world is really cold-blooded and heartless, but rather, for the world, any creature is too small to attract her attention, just like how mortals don't pay attention to the ants under their feet when they walk on the road. But if there's a reason for her to start to care about these ants … the so-called Great Karmic Luck comes into being. "
Wang Lu thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense. So far, the two people with the strongest Karmic Luck in history, Immortal Qin and Great Ancestor Desheng, both came into being at the right time and saved the crisis that endangered the entire continent. The rapid rise of Immortal Qin and the unification of Nine Regions was based on the many years of war in Nine Regions. The Feng Shui Nodes were frequently used as strategic weapons to detonate, which shocked Nine Regions. At that time, if Immortal Qin didn't end the war, Nine Regions would probably be fragmented by the cultivators. Needless to say, Great Ancestor Desheng was the leader of the great war of immortals and demons. If he didn't drive the invaders of the demon world back to their hometown, Nine Regions wouldn't be called Nine Regions. "
Ouyang Shang said, "From the historical records, the rise of those two seniors is simply unimaginable, and it's not just the effect of Void Spirit Root."
Wang Lu thought so too. "Void Spirit Root is indeed trash."
"Huh?"
"It's okay, I'm just acting cute. Big Brother, please continue."
"So I thought, since every time Nine Regions is in danger, there will always be such a person with great luck, it seems to confirm my guess. And it's not difficult to explain those who died prematurely in the middle of their rise: the so-called Karmic Luck is just an investment in a person by Nine Regions, and the investment is risky. "
Wang Lu nodded and said, "That's right, your conjecture can indeed explain a lot of things … including that guy's hostility to us. If the golden generation is favored by Nine Regions, then it's natural for him, as a demon, to regard the golden generation as a thorn in his side. But this brings me to my second question. Who exactly is he? Is he really a demon? "
"Huh? Do you doubt his identity as a demon? "
"Yes, the biggest doubt is that the demon jade has no effect on him. Moreover, his behavior is also very controversial among the demon race. His style of doing things is not the style of the demon race."
As Wang Lu said that, he could not help but think of the dying cry of a certain howling demon on the mountain of corpses in the demon world.
Ouyang Shang asked, "… Not the demon king of the demon race? Don't you think this setting is too strange? "
"Not bad, I also know that there is a proletarian party under the leadership of the bourgeoisie."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. When you said that just now, I seem to have seen your death omen."
"… Then let me put it another way. I also know that there is a Western Continent regime under the leadership of the Kunlun slaves."
"If that's the case, it seems to be a lot more lofty. It's indeed an interesting inference. So, in your opinion, if he's not a demon, what kind of person is he? To be able to deceive the whole demon world, it's impossible for him to be as simple as a lucky speculator, right? "
"Of course not. If he's just an ordinary speculator, after stealing the demon king's position, he would enjoy glory, splendor, wealth and rank. Instead of continuing to be the king of the new demon world, he directly led the demons to a dead end. Then, he turned around and led some of the survivors to Nine Regions through some unknown method. He was also not at ease in Nine Regions, so he deliberately went to the Western Continent to catch a world-destroying demon wolf … And then he was suppressed by it for two thousand years without losing his motivation. His behavior is completely unpredictable. In my opinion, there's some involuntary meaning to it. "
Ouyang Shang nodded. "It's indeed not like a normal person's behavior, because I can't find his interest in doing things at all. After swindling the demon race, he turned around and swindled the Nine Regions. What is his position? What are his benefits? It's indeed more like being forced by something to do something to meet the requirements of the other party. But he's already the king of the demon world, so who else in the world has the qualification to force him? What's the benefit of forcing him to do these things? "
Wang Lu sneered. "Perhaps it's the legendary demon god?"
Ouyang Shang shook his head. "Demon god? It's as far-fetched as the True Immortals in Nine Regions. At least in the history, I've never heard of a demon god directly coming down to the lower realm to interfere. In Nine Regions, the descent of True Immortals only exists in legends — legend has it that Immortal Qin and Great Ancestor Desheng were passed down by the True Immortals, that's all. Whether it's the Immortal World or the Demon God World, it seems more like a road of no return. "
"That's strange." Wang Lu said, "If it's not the demon god, then who is it? Could it be … "
Speaking to this, Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang looked at each other in dismay and could not help but think of an unimaginable answer.
However, before the two of them could say this answer, a cold voice suddenly came in.
"You guys know too much … Sure enough, you guys have to die!"
This voice was not strange to the two of them. In the demon spirit dream, they had heard him speak more than once … It was just that, in any case, it was unexpected that he would actually appear here, in the underwater fortress that had been carefully reinforced by the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect!
"Since you're here, don't leave!"
Ouyang Shang immediately launched the protective array of the dragon palace. The huge palace issued a muffled rumbling sound. The palace, which was built at the bottom of the water, slowly sank under the effect of the array. The silt that had been immersed in the Blessed Fountain for thousands of years surged and covered the palace.
The flood dragon of Blessed Fountain had operated its own palace for thousands of years, and one of the important assets that it had accumulated was the silt at the bottom of the river, each of which had been purified by its demonic energy. And now, under the transformation of the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect, it had an incredible mysterious effect. Once it was activated, even a Daoist Master of Deity Stage would not be able to break its defense.
However, just as the silt at the bottom of the river was about to completely cover the palace, Ouyang Shang suddenly felt that the King Pill in his Jade Mansion jumped uncontrollably.
"Oh no!"
To control the array of the dragon palace with the power of one person, this put forward an extremely high requirement for Ouyang Shang's magical power. With his King Pill Stage, it was a kind of leapfrogging challenge, during which it could be said that even the slightest mistake was not allowed.
Right now, the jump of the King Pill in his Jade Mansion seemed small, but at the critical moment of the activation of the array, it actually affected the whole body.
Boom! At the top of the dragon palace, a huge force suddenly stagnated and then burst out with a loud bang, and the ten thousand tons of river water poured in.
The great array that the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect relied on to defend themselves was instantly broken!
