The Heaven's Reliance peak stood alone on the shore of the ocean. It was like a supreme divine sword, pointing straight at the sky and deterring the "Demon Continent" on the other side of the ocean. It made all evil flee and demons tremble in fear. The master of the Sword Collection palace, Yu Zijian, was the sword soul of this divine sword.
On the top of the lonely peak, she had asked the mysterious will of heaven why a continent like this had been created, bringing with it so much slaughter and evil.
The will of heaven had always been difficult to ask! But at this moment, he was standing right beside her. She had grabbed him firmly in her hand.
"Over there … I see … I actually never sensed it …"
Li Qingshan gazed past the vast ocean, gazing at the "Demon Continent" that he had personally created. He immediately understood all of its history and sank into his thoughts.
Yu Zijian held her breath and focused. She stared at him with her violet eyes, silently waiting for his answer. Suddenly, she felt a tremble in her hand. She was surprised and could not help but ask, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Li Qingshan smiled. In that moment, an idea flashed through his head. It was like he had seen a "Demon domain" that he had personally created.
If he wanted to purify the land of other continents so that everyone could live in peace and have their own needs, he had to remove the land polluted by the Demon domain and the Hungry Ghost realm.
And, in the past events of the Demon domain, did the huge, golden hand that had taken away the sun have the same kind intentions?
Yes, if he wanted a pure land of bliss, he had to create a Demon domain and filthy land first.
He had purposefully tossed this continent into the bitter cold of the north. He had never planned on allowing any life to thrive on this continent in the first place.
The pure land of bliss drained all of the Demon domain's life force, turning the entire Demon domain into a wasteland. Perhaps that was a form of mercy.
However, far, far too much time had passed, so much time had passed that everything deviated from its original intentions.
In the end, many life forms still gathered here, taking root tenaciously with their admirable life force, but they became even more brutal and evil under the harsh environment.
This "Continent of Demons" became the headquarters of the demonic cultivators of the world. All the mortals born on this continent possessed certain characteristics of demonfolk and ghouls. They were numb and powerful, known as "yimo". They invaded all the other continents, just like how demonfolk conquered the three thousand worlds and six realms of saṃsāra.
Li Qingshan looked up at the sky and recalled the Buddha's light that summoned him to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss. Was it just a coincidence that he was summoned to be an insignificant Divine General of Sangharama?
It was completely capable of destroying him, the future "Demon God King," but it still wanted him to see clearly, to see all right and wrong, good and evil. The time when he was an "egg" was the happiest and most peaceful time in his life. Everyone was living happily, and "bliss" was not an illusion.
When he fell into the Domain of Demons and hugged the human child that Jiu Ying had given birth to, all the happiness and happiness had turned into mockery. There was only sorrow and anger in his heart.
At this moment, it was as if he could see the baby growing into an adult and growing older with each passing day. His face was covered with age spots, and he gradually emitted a rotten smell. Saliva flowed out of his mouth. It was disgusting.
Even the great vow to deliver all from suffering was no match for the flow of time?
"The qilin is dead, and the phoenix is old … The qilin is dead, and the phoenix is old …"
He suddenly understood all of the meaning behind it, but at the same time, he lost the ability to express it with words.
Success, residence, destruction, emptiness, birth, old age, sickness, and death. Everything in the world was no exception. Just how much meaning do my actions have?
He could not help but sink into his thoughts with a frown. The silver-grey sea rose and fell as the north wind blew snowflakes into his face. His expression was as cold as a statue of a god, towering above the sky and unreachable.
Yu Zijian could not help but unclench her fist. She did not receive the answer she wanted, but she seemed to see the will of heaven itself. It was profound, distant, and indescribable.
If it were anyone else, they would have lost the courage to ask questions forever, but she gritted her teeth and called out resolutely, "Li Qingshan, don't play dumb. I'm going to demand justice for the people of the world today!"
Li Qingshan suddenly returned to his senses. As he looked at her shining eyes, he could not help but smile. "I'm just a mortal. Why are you demanding justice from me?"
Yu Zijian let out a great sigh of relief. Just Now, that moment was a hundred times more terrifying than when she faced the most dangerous of enemies. Her willpower had basically been swallowed up, but she also felt a strange sense of familiarity. She could understand his current state.
However, she still preferred this "Niu Juxia" before her.
She scolded, "Nonsense! You're clearly the god of the world, and you're the 'Hero King'. You distributed all the cultivation methods to everyone, regardless of whether they were good or bad, so of course you have to take responsibility. "
The grand ambition of "everyone having cultivation methods" was not as glorious and correct as it sounded. Although it changed the situation of the world and changed the fates of countless people, it also led to endless chaos and conflict.
Demonic cultivation methods were often unorthodox and eager for quick success. Although it was easy for them to suffer from qi deviation, it was not a huge price compared to the allure of immortality. Their cultivation speed would also be far greater than the orthodox cultivation methods, and the techniques they used would be vicious, vicious, and extraordinarily powerful. Orthodox cultivators of the same level of cultivation would often not be the opponent of demonic cultivators.
As a result, many cultivators embarked on an unorthodox path, specially choosing cultivation methods like this from the heavens so that they could emerge victorious in battle. As a result, in the early years of the five continents, the decline of the orthodox path and the growth of the demonic path had greatly eclipsed the rise of the orthodox path. Only when the Sword Collection palace rose up and Yu Zijian slaughtered viciously did they gradually recover from their decline.
Li Qingshan rubbed his chin and sighed. "There are bad people among the masses!"
"Only now do you know!"
Yu Zijian had seen many of these powerful demonic cultivators. None of them were mortals in the first place. None of them seemed like bad people. Once they grasped extraordinary powers, they would immediately become vicious and evil.
"I almost forgot. I'm not a good person to begin with, hehe!" Li Qingshan began to laugh unconsciously. He patted Yu Zijian's shoulder in delight. "Fortunately, you're here. You just have to kill off all of these bastard demonic cultivators."
"You big bastard!"
"What did you say?" Li Qingshan basically doubted his ears. Sigh, back when I was taking care of you, I called him 'Niu Juxia'. Now that I've grown up, I call him 'big bastard'.
"You big bastard!"
Yu Zijian frowned, which added a sense of malice to her. It was a testament to what she had gone through in the past few years. Let alone the unorthodox path, even her fellow disciples trembled in fear when they saw her like this. They were afraid to say anything.
The Sword Collection palace had maintained the orthodox path for the past few years. They had killed countless demonic cultivators, but they had also paid countless sacrifices. Even cultivators were like that, let alone mortals.
With her current cultivation, she could suppress all the demonic cultivators in the world with her sword alone. However, this advantage could not last for too long. Human emperors would emerge among demonic cultivators sooner or later, and they would make a comeback. By then, there would be another war between the orthodox and the evil, endless slaughter. Who knew how many innocent lives would be lost, yet he could still smile.
"Alright. What do you want me to do?"
Yu Zijian did not hesitate at all. "Kill all the demonic cultivators in the world first!"
"Heh, what a heavy sense of malice!"
"Trust me. There might be many hypocrites among the orthodox path, but there really aren't any good people among the demonic cultivators. I'd rather kill a thousand innocents than spare a single one. If I spare one, who knows how many tens of thousands of people will die. It'll also make everyone in the world believe that they can get away with doing evil. It'll be a vicious cycle. "
The sense of malice on Yu Zijian's face grew heavier. This was the determination she had forged after countless bitter experiences. Sometimes, they were even worse than pretending to be benevolent and righteous.
Li Qingshan did not doubt her at all. He never believed a bunch of bullshit like how people of the orthodox path were all hypocrites and people of the demonic path were all true men. Hypocrites still had to consider public opinion when they did things. These true men did not hold back at all when they massacred people in cities.
"And then?"
"And then I'll destroy all the demonic cultivation methods and sever the foundations of these demonic cultivators. Then I'll announce it to the world under the name of the Knight King so that everyone can learn from it. Even if a few slip through the net in the future, it'll be easier to 'deal with' them. "Every single word she said was filled with heavy malice and unquestionable determination.
"Actually, cultivation methods don't matter."
"Yeah. The key is to kill all the demonic cultivators and use the name of the Knight King to awe the entire cultivation community so that all cultivators will be afraid to take a single step forward."
"But even if I kill all the demonic cultivators in the world, I won't be able to eliminate all the evil in everyone's hearts. It'll only make them even more hypocritical and despicable. They'll refer to all their enemies as demonic cultivators and all resistance as demonic cultivators."
"That's still better than doing nothing."
"Actually, there's an even simpler method."
"What method?"
"Killing is better than destroying the heart." Li Qingshan pointed at his head. "I don't even need to do anything directly. As long as I have the determination, I can directly turn into the will of the world and influence the minds of everyone, making them abandon evil and do good, returning to the righteous path. What do you think?"
Yu Zijian clapped her hands and smiled. "That's fantastic! Hold on, since you have that ability, why didn't you do anything earlier? "
"Then are you willing to be influenced by me?"
"Of course. Haven't I always been influenced by you?" Yu Zijian grinned. "I believe you."
Li Qingshan was speechless. He then asked, "What if it's not me?"
Yu Zijian thought about it before shaking her head. "I'm not willing …"
Li Qingshan was touched and comforted. Just when he was about to say something, he heard her continue, "... But I can die."
Her expression was normal. There was nothing hot-blooded or compassionate about it, as if she was talking about something that was only natural.
