"Grim Demon, how did I treat you?" On the divine mountain, Zhou Wen got Demonic Neonate to summon Grim Demon. She stared at him with a smile and asked.
"Not … Not bad …" Grim Demon stammered as he cursed inwardly. You still have the f * cking cheek to ask me how you treated me? Don't you know how you treated me?
"Just not bad?" Zhou Wen said in a deep voice with a sullen expression.
Grim Demon was alarmed as he hurriedly forced a smile and said, "It's not just not bad. It's really good. It's so good that there's nothing to say. You're like a second parent."
Only then did Zhou Wen nod in satisfaction. "Since you know that I'm really good to you, it's time for you to perform."
"What do you want?" Grim Demon looked at Zhou Wen warily.
"Take a look at where you are first," Zhou Wen said.
"This is … the divine mountain of the Celestials …" Grim Demon carefully sized up his surroundings before his expression changed drastically. "Why did you bring Master to such a place … Don't you know …"
Halfway through his sentence, Grim Demon seemed to think of something and suddenly stopped.
"What don't I know?" Zhou Wen said slowly as he looked at Grim Demon.
"Nothing." Grim Demon remained silent. Clearly, he was unwilling to reveal more about Demonic Neonate.
"You can say nothing, but it's best you figure out what's going on." Zhou Wen placed the golden trident in front of Grim Demon and continued, "This is the only surviving Celestial on the divine mountain. And now, he has become my weapon. As for me, I've been left on this divine mountain by the Magic Cube. I can't return to Earth. I believe you know better than me what will happen next."
"What did you say? This is a weapon transformed from a Golden Celestial. The Golden Celestial chose to become your weapon? "Grim Demon wore a look of disbelief.
"Of course. It should be thanks to Little Yingying that he became my weapon," Zhou Wen said.
"What do you mean by thanks to Master? I think it's all thanks to Master," Grim Demon immediately corrected him.
"No matter whose credit it is, I'm now the wielder of this weapon. Furthermore, I can only stay in the dimension. Little Yingying naturally can only stay here too. Now, the entire dimension knows that I've become the owner of the divine mountain and that I have this golden weapon. "
"Idiot, didn't I tell you not to expose Master's existence? How can you bring her to participate in the Magic Cube battle … "Grim Demon cursed in exasperation.
"Other than that, don't you have anything else to say? If not, wait to die with your master, "Zhou Wen interrupted Grim Demon and said expressionlessly.
Grim Demon was immediately speechless. His expression changed for a while before he sighed and said, "You're really wrong. Even if I tell you everything about Master, it won't help your current situation at all. It might even be more dangerous. If you exposed Master because of this, then I can only say that you are really too stupid. "
"How do you know it won't help me if you don't tell me?" Zhou Wen wasn't in a hurry as he said casually.
"Alright, actually, what I know isn't bad. However, there's one thing I can tell you for sure. The reason why the divine mountain and the Celestials vanished overnight has a lot to do with Master," Grim Demon said helplessly.
"Continue." Zhou Wen couldn't help but be secretly delighted when he saw that Grim Demon had finally relented.
Zhou Wen became more and more curious about Demonic Neonate's origins. However, too few people knew about Demonic Neonate's origins. Grim Demon was definitely the one who knew the truth the best, but he was too tight-lipped. Even if Zhou Wen threatened him with his life, Grim Demon wouldn't say a word. It was rare for him to tell him about Demonic Neonate.
Grim Demon's expression was very complicated. After a while, he said, "Let me tell you a story."
"I'm all ears," Zhou Wen said indifferently.
"Once upon a time, there was a hunter who hunted for a living every day. One day, when he was hunting, he saw a wolf bite a rabbit. The rabbit was a mother who had just given birth. In its nest, there were a few cubs waiting to be fed. When the cubs saw their mothers by their nests, they crawled out of their nests and wanted to find their mothers to drink milk. However, they couldn't understand that not only was their mother in danger, but even they themselves would end up as food in the stomachs of hungry wolves. " When Grim Demon said that, he stared at Zhou Wen and asked, "If you were a hunter, what would you do now?"
"Kill the wolf and save the rabbit and its children," Zhou Wen answered.
"Alright, if the hunter saves the rabbit and its children, then the wolf will starve. Then the wolf would starve, and she could also be the mother of several pups. Without food, she and her pups would starve to death. If you knew this, would you still have saved that rabbit and those brats? "Grim Demon asked again.
"Yes," Zhou Wen answered without hesitation.
This was an unsolvable problem to begin with. From a different angle, regardless of whether Zhou Wen saved them or not, it was wrong. Therefore, he didn't need to think too much. All he needed to do was be himself.
"Very good. You saved the rabbit and its children. The wolf was destroyed by you, and the wolf cubs starved to death. After that, the rabbits lost their natural enemies and constantly reproduced, increasing their numbers. The original resources can no longer satisfy the rabbits' appetites and fill their stomachs. Therefore, the rabbits will form groups to eat the crops you planted, causing the crops you planted to be unharvested. You won't have any food to survive the winter. What should you choose? "Grim Demon continued asking Zhou Wen questions.
"In that case, I made the wrong choice from the beginning. I shouldn't have saved that rabbit." Zhou Wen wasn't usually a stubborn person. Although he could use some logic to refute Grim Demon, he didn't do so. Instead, he changed his train of thought.
"Alright, if you don't save the rabbit, there will be plenty of food after the wolf hunts the rabbits. The wolf cubs will grow up quickly and give birth to more wolves. When the time comes, there will be wolves everywhere. Not to mention hunting in the mountains, even living in the mountains will be very dangerous. Perhaps the wolf pack will rush into your home and tear you apart. Is this the outcome you want?" Grim Demon sneered.
If it were an ordinary person, they would only blame Grim Demon for the problem. It was an unsolvable problem, but Zhou Wen didn't think that way. After some thought, he said, "I can tame that wolf. At the same time, I can kill a certain number of rabbits with the wolf's help and maintain the number of rabbits within a certain range. This way, the rabbits won't be overrun and the wolves won't become a threat to me."
Only then did Grim Demon nod. He nodded in admiration and said, "I hope that when you encounter the same situation in the future, you will be able to make the same choice as you did now and not act on impulse."
"And then?" Zhou Wen didn't wish to discuss this with Grim Demon. He only wanted to know what Grim Demon's story had to do with Demonic Neonate.
