A black sun illuminated the boundless demonic land. All of the mountains, rivers, vegetation, and vegetation were enveloped in a layer of darkness, as if they were looking through black glass.
It was condensed and manifested from the laws of the Demon domain, bestowing a demon heart upon all demonfolk. In essence, every single demon heart was a "Demon Heart of the Black Sun".
Legends would always come true.
But now, the black sun was embedded with a golden rim. Even though the golden light was weak, it still formed a halo, giving off a smear of ink-blue.
The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and the Demon domain's evil land originally belonged to the "Qilin Paradise" transformed from the primordial qilin. They had been split apart by the buddha tathagata's unbelievable powers.
However, as the man with the qilin's bloodline descended and brought back the pool of lotus flowers in the Great Lightning Temple, the two worlds began to approach one another. The laws wove together and merged.
The light from the distant Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss made countless demonfolk gaze up in infatuation, making them forget about everything around them. Every pair of black eyes was inlaid with a golden rim.
The Demon domain that had sunk into darkness for millions of years finally welcomed its first glimmer of light. Those who had never sunk into darkness would never understand the value of this light. It made every single demon heart shine with light.
In that moment, they trembled with joy. They cried tears of joy, unable to control themselves, as if they had ascended to bliss.
The demonic land had never experienced such hope, such peace. It was basically more intoxicating than any fine wine in the world.
The usual games that demonfolk loved the most — slaughter, torture, deception, and betrayal — all paled in comparison to this joy. It was meaningless.
However, the meaning of their existence had been denied at the same time. A bone-deep pain erupted hysterically. It was more unbearable than any torture.
It was filled with shame, regret, emptiness, and despair … It was as if they had sunk straight into hell!
"Those who have never seen light should have been able to endure the darkness relatively easily. If they've never held onto hope, they won't feel despair. " A woman murmured softly like the hiss of a snake, bestowing great curses and great blessings upon all life. "I hope you like this fate." She had already offered the most sumptuous offering to the Demonic Sky, a proud tiger.
Then she lowered her head and smiled gently. "I still have to thank you."
In her arms was a baby who was sleeping soundly, completely unaffected by the changes in the outside world. There was no demon heart in his body. His entire body was enveloped in a holy light, and even the surging demonic energy could not get close to him. He had an inconceivable sense of cleanliness.
He was the son of Jiu Ying, the son of the Evil God, and also the son of humanity. He was so weak that he could not survive on his own, but he did something that even the Demon God could not do: he made that proud and aloof tiger willingly walk up the altar.
He remembered who had shouted, "Save the children!"
A mysterious power protected him and all the newborn infants in the Demon domain, allowing them to sleep peacefully and escape the fate of being born as demonfolk.
The woman sighed and said, "What a lucky child … luckier than me."
At the same time, in the boundless Demon Realm, countless beings were suffering in hellish pain.
When the pain and despair reached the limit, their heartstrings snapped one by one, and their demon hearts shattered one by one. It seemed to come from the very depths of hell. Soundless rumbles shook up the entire Demon domain.
Hundreds of millions of demonfolk descended into madness, completely demonifying and turning into twisted, vicious demonic beasts. They let out hysterical roars at the black sun rimmed with gold in the sky, filled with loathing and curses. They were tempted to tear it to pieces and devour it.
That was the source of all pain.
At the top of the mountains, the fierce wind ruffled his scarlet hair. A man suddenly opened his eyes and listened attentively. Thousands of crystalline snowflakes cut into his face like blades. He felt a deep pain as well.
Why was he here? Why was he alone? No one knew. No one knew what he was searching for in such a high place.
The miniature world had ceased to exist a long time ago, having merged with the entire Demon domain. However, the battle between the gods and demons in his heart had never stopped for a single moment. Instead, it became even more intense. At that moment, it reached a whole new peak.
All the beings in the Demon domain were in his heart. The suffering of all beings was his suffering.
However, he was not the merciful and benevolent gods and buddhas of the nine heavens, but the king of demons. He did not bestow joy, hope, happiness, or peace, nor did he promise a world of ultimate bliss or a blissful afterlife. Instead, he bestow great pain and great despair. He only promised destruction and death.
He pursed his lips, and his expression immediately became as resolute as a rock. He stared at the empty space, opening his chest to the wind and snow.
He was always like this. The more pain he experienced, the more determined he became; the more he struggled, the more determined he became.
The frenzied demonic beasts did not attack all living beings in the surroundings madly like before. Instead, they all began to run madly, rushing towards the wilderness like they were on a great migration.
Rumble! The beasts surged, and the ground shook. They were like surging rivers, but their final destination was not the ocean, but the sky.
The beasts chased after the sun, day and night, without rest, until they died of exhaustion.
At the very least, they could still burn in the flames like moths flying into a flame, but the sun was beyond their reach. It was impossible to reach in the end. Burning was also an extravagant hope.
The man suddenly smiled bitterly before quickly becoming vicious again. His fangs protruded, and he roared at the sky like a demonic beast.
"Why, why are you so greedy for 'bliss' that you didn't hesitate to create such a demonic land!?"
This question passed through the demonic sky and shook the laws, directly reaching the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. It reverberated in the temples and halls, shaking the statues of gods and buddhas, but no one answered.
He didn't need to answer either. What he needed was war, the flames of war that burned everything until the demonic land and the pure land merged again. When that time came, there would be no more endless pain. Of course, there would be no more eternal joy.
Life in this world was supposed to be bittersweet, wasn't it?
But why? He didn't feel the slightest bit of joy. Didn't he already become a god? After experiencing so many hardships, he had never been so close to the Nine Heavens. The frog jumped out of the well and finally turned into a star.
As he refined his spirit to return to the void, he controlled the laws of heaven and earth, and his will simultaneously permeated the pure land and demonic land.
All the changes reached an unprecedented height. Be it the Ox Demon, Tiger Demon, Phoenix Demon, or Spirit Turtle, all of them had their own enlightenment. Needless to say, the Qilin Transformation was born for this world, and there was no longer any obstruction.
Only the Demonic Ape had fallen into a state of dispiritedness. It was filled with sorrow and depression.
This was originally the transformation he liked the most, the happiest when he cultivated. He was free and unrestrained.
Now that he had chosen to shoulder this fate, he could no longer be free and unrestrained. All he could do was sit on the top of the mountain alone, listening to the howls of the wind and snow, silently bearing the sorrow of the Demon domain and protecting all the children of humanity. He allowed the pain and resentment that had accumulated for millions of years to surge in his heart like an abyssal sea.
At this moment, he could not help but look back even though he had never been willing to look back.
Qiongzhi, Ru Xin, Yu Zijian … king Milliped, Hwa Seung-zan, Banyan Tree King …
The names and familiar figures that he had not heard in a long time immediately became vivid, never losing their colour.
He could not help but smile. It really was a very, very long path. He had gone from a remote mountain village to a foolish cowherd boy, following the winding, rugged mountain path, often having to cut his way through brambles and thorns, scale cliffs, and leap over abysses, all the way to the top of the mountain, the King of Demon Gods.
Along the way, even though there were many difficulties and dangers, he had also witnessed extremely magnificent sights. He had never regretted it.
Now, he might as well take a break and reminisce about the glorious past, letting his mind run wild.
Stars flickered in the sky. Every single star was a world, and one of them belonged to him.
With the unification of the Demon domain, the structure of the world rose further, and time flowed slower and slower.
Even though the world of the five continents had already expanded by who knew how many times, to the point where it could accommodate cultivators who had undergone the fifth heavenly tribulation. However, compared to the Demon domain, it was still incomparable.
As a result, when he looked at the world of the five continents from the Demon domain, it was like he had pressed the fast-forward button.
In a single moment, the sun rose and set, the clouds changed, and the stars changed.
"If I reach beyond the Nine Heavens, a mortal's life will probably only be a snap of a finger," he thought to himself.
He chanted in his heart and concentrated. Everything suddenly slowed down. The sunrise and sunset returned to normal speed, and the white clouds slowly changed shape. At the same time, thousands of thoughts flashed through his mind. Nothing was faster than the thoughts in his mind.
"Hah, it's better to not return to one's hometown when one is rich." Even if he was mocked as a "monkey wearing a crown".
The ape demon immediately perked up and scratched his ears and cheeks impatiently. Wasn't it just a big monkey?
Thoughts leapt out of the Demon domain one by one, returning to the world of the five continents. That was where he was born.
