Within the devil gate, in the black-and-red world, Grand Luo leaned against the devil gate. His expression gradually changed from confusion to self-mockery and bitterness.
"Mission?" He shook his head with a bitter smile.
Lin Feng had slain the top experts of the Youdu race, the Great Demon Void Yuan of the End of Cultivation. Shi Tianhao had almost killed Ning Fengyou outside the gate during the war between the two worlds.
However, Grand Luo couldn't feel any hatred towards them. When a person thought about it carefully, he would feel a sense of sorrow.
Even his current Youdu body, other than the remains of Youhuang Celestial Sea, there was also the flesh and blood essence and essence that Lin Feng had extracted from Void Yuan's corporeal body.
The feelings in Grand Luo's heart were already very clear.
Just like what he had said, the deepest influence on his current thoughts was still his present life. Looking back to the past, he, who had been sent into reincarnation by a secret art the moment he was born, and his feelings towards his parents, Youhuang and Youhou, originated from the brand in his demon soul, and not from daily interactions.
However, at this moment, Grand Luo still felt bitter in his heart.
If he wasn't Youdu, if he wasn't Youhuang's son, he wouldn't be where he was today.
Different from ordinary people, other than Lin Feng's teachings, he was born with unique conditions, which all stemmed from his bloodline inheritance.
If it wasn't for this special bloodline, would Lin Feng have saved him back then?
Grand Luo could faintly feel that Lin Feng, who had saved his life back then, didn't know about the matters of the spirit sea and the Youdu race returning to the great chiliocosm.
However, if he didn't have the Youdu bloodline, would Lin Feng have still saved him back then and taught him later on?
Back then, maybe it was just a casual move by Lin Feng, but it was precisely because it could have an unexpected effect that he had laid out the chess piece in advance, wasn't it?
Saving him might still have been done in passing, but taking him in as a disciple to teach him might not have been the case.
Grand Luo knew himself well. Back then, when he was a human, at least in this life. As a human, Luo Yao's talent in cultivation was at most above average. He probably wouldn't be favored by the master of the Profound Gate.
What exactly had made him who he was now?
And where should he go from here?
The Zenith Heavenly Immortal felt a wave of panic. The imprint that was engraved in his Daemon Soul and the pulsating bloodline all over his body caused his heart to tremble and he found it hard to maintain his composure.
On the other side of the door, Yun Sheng Youdu's cold voice came, "Living in seclusion, hiding from the world, is this your decision? It's just a cowardly escape and self-deception. "
"When my clan killed the people close to you in Xuanmen Tianzong, and they asked you to fight against your own clan, what did you do? You didn't care about Grand Uncle Kongyuan's death, but when the Xuanmen Tianzong people, who were close to you, and the humankind, whom you couldn't bear to hurt, slaughtered your own kind, did you still not care? "
"Before our race returned to the Boundless World, you were the only Youdu in the Boundless World. The reason you were able to keep your life was because of our existence, because our race was still strong, and because those humans wanted to find us who had entered the Blackboard Realm through you!"
"When you were the only Youdu left in the Great Heaven Primordial World, what would you do? When the other humans want to kill you, will the Celestial Sect of the Mysterious Gate become enemies with their own race in order to protect you, a Demon Clan? "
"We are of the same race, and we will protect every member of our race and fight every foreign enemy to the end. Xuanmen Tianzong may become enemies with the demon race for you, but will they become enemies with the other humans for you, a Youdu?"
Yun Sheng Youdu's tone was cold, "Have you ever thought about these questions?"
"When you were still weak, when you were still unable to pose too much of a threat, these might not have been problems. But are you willing to live a peaceful life, not moving forward? When you have enough power to threaten those humans, will they believe you just because you say you want to hide from the world? "
"And how many people will make you their target out of greed? When you have no other value, Xuanmen Tianzong may be the first to kill you and use your flesh and blood to forge treasures. "
Grand Luo was silent. Outside the Devil Gate, Ning Fengyou said impatiently, "Don't lie to yourself. You said you don't want to become enemies with our race, but now that you're stopping us from entering, you're already helping Xuanmen Tianzong and threatening our race!"
"Earlier, you said that your past life's memories haven't fully recovered. Fine, I'll believe you for now, but what about now? Because your actions will bring a huge threat to our race in the future. When something happens, do you still dare to say that it has nothing to do with you and that it wasn't your wish? "
Grand Luo closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he said softly, "I don't care if I'm selfish or cowardly, but today, I will not retreat."
If he retreated, both Wang Lin and Ning Wange would be in danger. Although the Wang Lin in this black-and-red world was only a clone of the Great Devil, he was at a crucial moment of comprehending the Dao. If anything happened, his original body would be implicated as well.
Ning Fengyou was enraged. "You refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. If it wasn't for the fact that you're Youhuang's son, we're of the same race. Who would have the patience to talk nonsense with you?"
Grand Luo said calmly, "Before this, I've always wanted to understand my origins, hoping to know the ins and outs of the matter. Recently, my wish has finally been fulfilled."
"Be it the Youdu race or the human race, I have no intention of becoming enemies with them. Before you guys return to the great chiliocosm, I could still muddle along with my conscience."
"But you guys still came back in the end, much earlier than I expected. However, this should be normal. Back then, the powerful race that ruled over Heaven Wasteland and shocked the entire Heaven Primordial World would naturally not be willing to be trapped in a dimensional world. No one could force you to stay there."
Grand Luo's gaze was complicated, and he sighed softly. "You guys have finally returned, and will once again enter a life-and-death struggle with the human race. It's indeed hard for me to stay out of it."
'It's because of the Youdu bloodline that I was able to enter Master Lin's tutelage. To be able to form an undying demon soul, the power of my innate bloodline also played a role that can't be ignored. I'm enjoying the legacy that father and mother left behind, yet I still have to betray father's expectations and trust. To me, perhaps only by abandoning this body can I be free.'
"Now that I've awakened and been reborn, if I die, I'll lose the chance to reincarnate. If I die, I'll truly be completely annihilated, and I'll no longer be a Youdu soul of Grand Luo." Grand Luo laughed self-mockingly. "Teacher Lin saved my life in the past, but to me, I still have to walk this path."
"Is this an escape? I don't know, but I'm not willing to choose any other path, so this is the only one I can choose. "
Grand Luo said calmly, "But at this moment, I can't retreat, so I'll have to offend you."
Outside the Devil Gate, Yun Sheng Youdu's expression calmed down as well. Silently, he said, "Since this is your decision, there's nothing more to say."
"Since you've decided to betray your race and the glory that should've belonged to you, stubbornly sticking to the human race and standing in our way, we won't be merciful to a rebel like you."
As Yun Sheng Youdu spoke, his figure gradually changed. Thick silver-white fur emerged from his body, and it was as if silver-white light was flashing non-stop. Purple light patterns filled the void, covering the silver-white fur on the surface of his body. On the three long horns on his head, rings of white light shone continuously.
"I'm not in the mood to say anything. I'll spare your life and let the future prove how childish and naive your thoughts are, to prove that I'm right and you're wrong." As he spoke, Yun Sheng Youdu directly revealed his true form. His huge claws reached into the void, wanting to grab the entire pitch-black Devil Gate in his palm.
As majestic demonic energy vibrated, cracks appeared on the pitch-black Devil Gate. Yun Sheng Youdu's voice was emotionless as he said indifferently, "Since you want to die, I'll grant you your wish. You can explain your rebellious actions to Her Majesty Youhuang yourself."
Within the crimson and black world, Grand Luo looked up and saw that the entire dimensional realm was quaking incessantly. Not only were the cracks on the Demon Gate behind them becoming increasingly clear, but even the void before them was beginning to warp and distort.
The Devil Gate's restrictions were connected to the entire world. Yun Sheng Youdu seemed to want to destroy the Devil Gate along with this dimensional world, as well as Grand Luo and the others in this world.
Ning Feng Youdu also calmed down at this moment. He turned his head and stared at Yunsheng Youdu. "That traitor deserved to die. But in this world, there might be some clues left behind by Her Majesty that can guide us to his other arrangements."
"There's a change in Her Majesty Youhuang's plan back then. If we don't remedy it, we won't have full confidence in the battle for the spirit sea," Yun Sheng Youdu said calmly.
"He said that he has the will to die, and I can see that although he's confused, it's not something he said in a moment of impulse. But now, he's not retreating, which means that other than him, there are other people in this world, and for some reason, they're under his protection."
"They might be activating the clues left behind by Her Majesty Youhuang or Empress Youhuang. In the battle for the spirit sea, other than Taixu Temple, Xuanmen Tianzong is our greatest opponent. If Her Majesty Youhuang's other arrangements fall into their hands, it'll be even more disadvantageous to our race."
Yun Sheng Youdu's voice was cold. "Other than here, we can still find other clues. At most, we'll just waste a little more time. Why don't we just bury Xuanmen Tianzong here as a blood sacrifice for Grand Uncle Kongyuan!"
As he spoke, the waves of Yun Sheng Youdu's demonic energy grew stronger. After a moment of silence, Ning Feng Youdu also infused his own demonic energy into the Devil Gate, causing the pitch-black Devil Gate to tremble even more.
In the black-and-red world within the Devil Gate, Grand Luo used his arcane energy to communicate with the Crocodile God. In the great hall, Wang Lin and Ning Wange were still in seclusion.
Grand Luo took a deep breath. The hesitation and pain in his eyes temporarily disappeared, replaced by determination. He abruptly retracted his demonic energy from the pitch-black Devil Gate.
With a loud rumble, the cracked Devil Gate that was on the verge of shattering reopened at this moment, Slowly pushed open.
