Li Qingshan remained silent for quite a while. He waved his hand and turned around.
The corner of Qian Rongzhi's lips curled up slightly. Her scarlet eyes were dazzling as she bowed deeply again. "I will spread the gospel. My king's benevolence and grace will definitely spread across the Demon domain, allowing everyone in the Demon domain to know about it. They will be your most loyal and fanatical warriors. "
Afterwards, she stood up in satisfaction and made her way down the mountain.
Li Qingshan raised his head and stared deeply, deeply at the black sun rimmed with gold, overlapping with his pitch-black eyes.
Finally, he was the only one left here.
Like an ascetic monk, he sat down on the rock at the top of the mountain and sank into his eternal thoughts.
In that moment, the wind and clouds changed, and the clouds changed.
The vast, endless spiritual qi of the world gathered towards this highland, this lone mountain, and this man.
As soon as Qian Rongzhi made her way down from the highland, she suddenly looked back and saw a visible river of light in the sky. It fluctuated like an aurora, flowing with a myriad of colours. She sighed in admiration from the bottom of her heart. "What a magnificent sight!"
All the demonfolk in a range of several tens of thousand kilometers could see it clearly. They were enchanted by this beautiful scenery they had never seen before.
The river rose and fell. That was his fluctuating emotions. From time to time, it would kick up a series of vortices. That was his surging thoughts.
"Is it worth it?"
As he comprehended the laws of the Demon domain, he could clearly see the future. He saw how his statue would break out of the rock, be plastered with gold, and be delivered into a glorious hall. He also saw people prostrating at the feet of the statue devoutly and passionately, filled with pain and hope.
"Yet, all I can give them is destruction!"
From the very beginning, he only wanted to walk his own path, so he was unwilling to establish too deep of a connection with others.
Hatred and hostility were a form of restraint, but these terrifying enemies would instead rouse his fighting spirit, allowing him to break free from his comfort and pleasure. He would advance valiantly, killing decisively and cruelly destroying all obstacles. He would step on the corpses of his enemies and laugh in delight.
The most difficult to deal with were instead those gentle and affectionate people. Those who wholeheartedly care for him, those who are willing to do anything for him.
Therefore, he did not want to consider himself a savior. Whether it was swallowing the Devilish Heart of the Black Sun or being killed by the Thunder God General of the Ninth Heaven millions of times, those were the paths he had chosen. He did not need anyone to thank him or repay him.
If this was really a sacrificial ceremony, then he didn't mind becoming a proud and aloof sacrifice.
"If the cold stars don't notice, I will sacrifice my blood to the Emperor."
However, if they did not rouse all the demonfolk, it was impossible for them to win this war. Instead, it would fall into great chaos due to the continuous fusion of the two worlds.
From the moment he took this step, it was no longer about him alone. He was the leader of all sins, the source of all evil — I am a group of demons!
He sank his mind deep into the depths of the Demon domain. The pain and resentment accumulated by the trillions of demonfolk for billions of years surged like the abyssal sea. They did not desire redemption, only revenge. He didn't even care who he was going to take revenge on. He just wanted to drink blood and souls.
"Burning to death is better than sinking to live an ignoble existence!"
Li Qingshan's voice rang out, cold and resolute, echoing through the mountains.
Qian Rongzhi bowed. "You are my will, my fate."
… …
Only the Tree for the Garden of Solitude
A gentle breeze blew past the bodhi tree, and the thousands of branches and leaves echoed together. With a metallic tint, it formed a wondrous melody.
However, today's tone was different from usual. There was less Zen and more Daoist in it.
The buddha was currently resting with his eyes closed. He opened his eyes when he heard the voice, brought his palms together, and bowed in greeting. He smiled. "Teacher, long time no see. How have you been? Aren't you going to lecture on alchemy today? "
If someone else heard that, they would definitely be astounded. Just who could be referred to as teacher by the buddha?
The newcomer was a daoist priest. He had white hair, but he had a ruddy, youthful face. His crane cloak fluttered in the wind, giving him the smell of smoke and fire. At first glance, he seemed no different from regular old daoists.
However, this old daoist priest was the ancestor of Taoism, the teacher of all immortals — Taishang Laojun.
Contrary to the buddha who spread the dharma and delivered all living beings from suffering, he spent most of his time in the Tushita Heavenly Palace comprehending the Primordial Dao Fruit. Other than occasionally refining a few cauldrons of pills for the Celestial Thearch and explaining the Primordial Dao Fruit to the immortals, he never participated in the affairs of the world. The last time he met the buddha was tens of thousands of years ago.
He knew that even if he rejected the title of teacher, the other party would still insist, so he accepted it calmly. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He put his palms together and bowed.
He said, "The Celestial Thearch saw the birth of the demon star and the beginning of the calamity. He is holding a banquet to discuss the matter of the demons, so he specially ordered me to visit the venerable one."
The buddha nodded slightly and accepted the title of venerable one. He smiled. "His Majesty is probably very happy!"
"I'm so happy. I took out the bear skin and walked around the palace wearing it, but I can't see the sword on my waist." Old Lord Taishang shook his head and smiled bitterly. As for the whereabouts of the sword, he naturally knew.
The buddha said in surprise, "Don't tell me it's still the one Zhuolu wore back then!"
Taishang Laojun nodded with a straight face, "I specially made a divination, and it really is that one."
The two of them laughed together, their laughter stirring the bodhi leaves on the tree.
"That's really bothering me."
"His Majesty has always felt that the previous two calamities were unfair, and he blamed you for ruining his plans. So he specially ordered me to pass a message to you: Heaven's will cannot be defied. You can do it twice, but not thrice. "
"It was clearly Teacher's idea."
"If you don't do it, I won't do it either."
"That's also something that can't be helped. I have also deeply let him down. But please rest assured, this time, I will not cause any unnecessary trouble. "
With their realm, any trace of memory would not become indifferent with time. Every time they thought about it, it was no different from being there. The emotions they felt from it were a million times that of ordinary people. They could understand and sympathize with the ignorance and despicableness of the world, but the world could not understand their wisdom and compassion.
Of course, be it the Celestial Thearch or the Buddha, they were also limited by their abilities and could not do anything about it. The pride of 'using the world as a chessboard, and all living beings as chess pieces' was just the delusion of mortals.
"The Celestial Thearch is the descendant of the Fuxi Clan after all! The proud dragon has no regrets. "
Taishang Laojun stood with his hands behind his back. It was unknown what he was thinking about, but in a trance, his body seemed to have become extremely tall, connecting with the sky, standing above the Great Dao, looking down at everything from an unreachable height. In the blink of an eye, at the same time, he was indeed only seven feet tall, an old Daoist covered in smoke and fire.
Extremely ordinary but extremely great, extremely weak but extremely strong, doing nothing but everything. The two completely opposite realms and feelings were perfectly unified in his body.
Buddha praised, "Teacher has improved a step further! If Teacher did not come to see me, I would have gone to see Teacher and receive another lesson. "
"The Dao is endless, mysterious and profound, and indescribable. Unfortunately, you are only interested in the living beings of the world, and cannot see what I see. In the end, wisdom is just a means to you. If you can move your gaze away from the living beings and observe the world with me, the wisdom you will obtain will be far greater than this, "Taishang Laojun said regretfully.
"With Teacher's wisdom, he is naturally not willing to be restricted to the mortal world. However, we are also one of the living beings. The lotus is born from the mud. The appearance is born from the heart, and the realm is created from the heart. Without living beings, the world is meaningless. As long as you and I can understand the suffering of the living beings, we cannot transcend. "
"I have never been able to argue against you."
"Those who are kind do not argue, and those who argue are not good. Words of faith are not beautiful, and good words are not believed. Neither good nor beautiful, just like me. "
Under the tacit understanding was a disagreement that could not be resolved even after millions of years.
