'Finally, it's time to push open the door.'
After organizing his gains, Lu Sheng calmed himself down. He focused and held his breath.
His consciousness slowly sank into a state where it seemed to exist and not exist.
Soon, he saw the boundary door again.
It was a black door with two bat-like monsters perched on the door frame.
The door was in the deepest part of his consciousness. The door was densely engraved with the essence of everything he had learned in his life.
All the essences of the Infinity Technique were transformed into simple symbols and carved on the door.
The lower bodies of the two bat-like monsters merged with the door. Their eyes did not have eyeballs. Instead, there were two balls of burning green Yin Flames.
They crouched on top of the door. Their lower bodies merged with the door. They seemed to be the guards of this place.
Lu Sheng walked closer slowly. He raised his hand and tried to touch the door.
"Hiss!"
The two black bat-like monsters immediately roared at him and bared their fangs.
'What do I have to do?' Lu Sheng hesitated.
There was no one to guide him on his path, so he didn't know what to do at this point.
At this moment, the bat on the left slowly said, "We're the obstacles in your heart."
"We're a part of you. It's meaningless to suppress us. You need to use your heart to convince us," the bat on the right continued.
"Convince you?" Lu Sheng was stunned. Was there such a requirement to advance to a Weapon Grandmaster? Could he not overcome it with pure strength?
"Then how do I convince you to let me pass?" Lu Sheng asked in return.
"I'm the beast side of you," the bat on the left said in a shrill voice.
"I'm the devil side of you," the bat on the right said in a similarly loud voice.
"When we combine, we're all of you!" the two bats said in unison.
Lu Sheng. "…"
"What about my human side …?" He was instantly amused. "Does it feel like I'm a Magical Beast when I combine all of me?"
"Do you think you still have humanity? Give up. You've been a Magical Beast for a long time, "the bat on the devil side mocked him.
"Impossible." Lu Sheng shook his head slightly. "I can feel its existence in the depths of my heart. I'm still a human. No matter how many forms I take, I'm still a member of the human race.
"Then in your heart, what is the definition of a human? Is it the human form, or the human heart? "The bestial bat shrieked. "If we only look at the heart, then what's the difference between humans and other intelligent creatures? You've eaten so many demons and other foreign races. In a sense, what's the difference between you and the human race? Are you sure you didn't eat a human? "
Faced with this question, Lu Sheng remained silent. In fact, he could feel that the two bats were not wrong. They were actually him, a part of him. Rather than saying that he was blocked here, it was better to say that he was blocking himself. He had not completely convinced himself and faced his own distracting thoughts.
"If you're just looking at your appearance, you're no longer a human. Are you really still a human?" the demonic bat chimed in.
"Isn't the essence of life desire? Go vent. There are countless humans and demons under your protection in the entire Nine Bright Province. You can play with anyone you like. You can even play with your cousins in the Lu Manor, Lu Qingqing and Lu Yiyi, your disciples, and all the members of the opposite sex in Autumn Moon County. When you're done playing with them, you can eat them. They can also replenish your body's nutrients.
"You're the master of this place. Do as you please, and nobody can stop you. Release the shackles in your heart and follow your body's most primal desires. "
The two bats' voices grew deeper and more enticing.
"Find the desire in the depths of your heart, vent it, and satisfy it … You'll realize that the world is like a delicacy in front of you. Without responsibility, rationality, and morality, everything is so beautiful …"
Lu Sheng took a deep breath. His eyes grew misty.
"Yes … I'm extremely powerful. What's wrong with satisfying myself a little? The weak should serve the strong … I'm the ruler of everything … "
"Yes … Go, go … It's meaningless for you to keep restraining yourself. Go find what you want the most …" the two bats whispered enticingly. "Go enjoy … Go wreak havoc …"
As their voices echoed, Lu Sheng's body began to change.
Six sharp, dark red horns with whorls on them grew out of his head. Sinister and strange flame patterns appeared on his skin one after another.
"Pchht!!"
A pair of black wings spread out from his arms. Following that, a thick black tail full of spikes sprouted from its back.
"Hahahaha!!" The bats laughed shrilly.
"See that? That's the real you! The real you … Ah! "
"Bam!"
The two bats were grabbed by two large hands and stuffed in their mouths.
"Hiss."
Both of them were torn off the door and stuffed into Lu Sheng's open mouth along with their skin and blood. He swallowed them in a few bites.
"So noisy …"
Lu Sheng sucked on his fingers and looked at the door in front of him again.
"I feel like I've eaten something incredible …" He felt as if something in the depths of his heart was being torn apart, and it hurt a little.
"Forget it. What's the point of thinking so much? Didn't you want me to follow my deepest desires? What I want the most now is to advance. How dare you stop me. You're courting death. "
He quickly walked to the door and pushed it. The door did not budge.
Soon, he saw a line of words in the Language of E appear on the door.
"Only with your heart can you push everything away."
"My heart …" Lu Sheng seemed to have realized something.
He stretched out his hands and looked at his ten fingers that were as sharp as knives. And those pitch-black, hard scales that reflected everything around them like a mirror.
"My heart …"
He slowly closed his eyes.
Ever since he transmigrated to this world, all the past events, all the experiences, all the struggles that had happened.
Hesitation, fear, hesitation, pain.
Struggle, contortion, madness, rage, and … destruction.
From Nine Links City to the current Autumn Moon County. Everything that had happened along the way replayed in his mind like a movie.
"So I … never forgot …" Unknowingly, his face was already covered in tears.
When he opened his eyes again, the door in front of him had been eaten until there were only two scraps left in his hands.
"I …" Lu Sheng could not help but hold the last two black scraps. His vision was blurred by tears. "I … When the f * ck did I eat this?!"
'I'm done for. How the f * ck am I supposed to advance?!' 'I've accidentally eaten the Boundary Gate!'
'It actually tastes pretty good?!'
"Bam!"
The last two biscuit-shaped scraps completely exploded and turned into nothingness.
'This seaweed-flavored door … Oh no! I followed my f * cking deepest desires, and now the door is gone. What the f * ck is going on?! ' Lu Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had been looking forward to advancing to a Weapon Grandmaster for so long, but he had accidentally ruined it just like that.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong with his surroundings.
'Shouldn't I have retreated from the depths of my spirit? The Boundary Gate has clearly disappeared. 'Coming back to his senses, Lu Sheng raised his head and glanced at his surroundings.
His surroundings were still pitch-black. However, there seemed to be something floating and dispersing in the darkness.
Lu Sheng took a deep breath and calmed his emotions. He began to slowly explore the space in his heart.
There seemed to be something supporting his feet in the darkness.
'Thud … Thud … Thud …'
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed continuously in this space.
He did not know how long he had walked.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng's eyes lit up.
It was as if he had just walked out of a pitch-black alley. Before him was a quiet street illuminated by street lamps.
Stopping, Lu Sheng turned around and looked behind him. The alley was pitch-black and deep. It led to where he had come from.
Before him was a street lamp that was more than three meters tall. The faint yellow light illuminated a quiet path with grass on both sides.
The path was grayish-white. There were some gravel and grass scattered on it.
'This is …' Lu Sheng's expression froze. His pupils suddenly widened and contracted.
'The road near my house …' He stood in the darkness and raised his eyes. His gaze passed through the street lamp and looked into the distance behind him.
He could vaguely make out a row of modern residential buildings with red roofs and white walls. The eight-story residential building was slightly dilapidated. The skin on the sides of the walls had fallen off in some places, revealing the gray cement underneath.
He was silent for a moment. He slowly walked out of the darkness. He passed through the street lamp and walked straight in the direction of the residential building where he lived.
'Building 17 … Number 503 …' A distant memory surged into his mind.
Lu Sheng followed the familiar path from deep within his memory. He walked into the residential area and followed the empty road to the building where he lived.
In the residential area, other than the street lamps, the rest of the houses were pitch-black. There was no light at all. There was no sound at all. Other than the sound of his empty footsteps, there was no other movement.
Lu Sheng quickly shrunk his body to the size of an ordinary human. He then walked into the pitch-black corridor and quickly went up to the fifth floor.
The pitch-black corridor was empty and cold. The stairs up and down seemed to go on forever.
Lu Sheng stood in front of the security door. He reached out his hand and gently placed it on the cold door.
All of this was too real. It was as if he had really returned to Earth, to the time before he crossed over. If it was not for the abnormality of the surrounding environment, Lu Sheng might have really thought that he had returned to Earth.
"Click."
The door opened. For the current Lu Sheng, it was just a light touch of Devil Qi to twist the door lock.
However, behind the door was not the empty home he had imagined. A tall, square-faced young man with a gentle smile was standing at the door and looking at him with a smile. At the same time, he blocked the entrance.
In the darkness, Lu Sheng quietly looked at this person. The familiar face of this person was the shape that he had seen day and night in the mirror for more than 30 years.
Other than being a little pale, it was really the same appearance that he remembered after work the day before he crossed over.
"What's the meaning of this?" Lu Sheng reached out and wanted to touch the man's face.
Soon, his fingertips touched the man's skin. However, what came back was a cold and hard touch.
He quickly placed his hand under the man's nostril.
