The demon boy said calmly: "The above mentioned are just the relatively simple and easy-to-see characteristics of Mr. Yuanshi. Perhaps he has deeper obsessions and purposes, which are not something that we can easily spy on."
"But these obsessions alone are enough to judge some of the behaviors and motives of Mr. Yuanshi."
"There is a saying in the Book of Prophecy that the Chosen One will save the world. Since Mr. Yuanshi wants to verify the Book of Prophecy, he will naturally not harm you, the Chosen One. On the contrary, he should always guide you in the right direction.
Just like me back then." The demon boy said calmly.
Shen Lang's face was solemn. Although he didn't want to admit it, Yuanshi Tianzun had indeed been guiding him a long time ago.
For example, Zhang Daoling and Master Taiyi in the human world and the ancient spiritual world have pointed out many directions for themselves.
Even in the true immortal world, Yuanshi Tianzun seems to have paved the way for himself.
Thinking back carefully, the key areas I visited in the True Immortal Realm more or less had the shadow of Zhang Daoling's advance layout.
Even the treasure lotus lantern, treasure mirror of heaven and earth, and even blood nerves that he obtained are not necessarily coincidences.
The more Shen Lang thought about it, the more his scalp became numb. That Yuanshi Tianzun was indeed deliberately paving the way for himself.
Is everything he did really just to verify the authenticity of the book of prophecy?
Shen Lang fell into deep doubts. If Yuanshi Tianzun's motive was just to verify the authenticity of the book of prophecy, his and Yuanshi Tianzun's purposes were different from each other, and there seemed to be no need for them to be enemies.
The demon boy said indifferently: "Boy, I know what you are thinking, but don't think too much about old Yuanshi, and don't forget how we died!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang was shocked.
The demon boy continued: "The Chosen One may indeed succeed in saving the True Immortal Realm as predicted in the Book of Prophecy, but this does not mean that the Chosen One will survive."
"On the contrary, the energy of heaven and earth condensed in you has a high probability to be returned to this world. Only in this way can the world be reborn, which is also a necessary condition for the rebirth of the fairy world."
"So, you are very likely to die. Even if you can survive, Mr. Yuanshi will probably try his best to return your own heaven and earth energy to the world."
"The final chapter of the book of prophecy points to the destruction and rebirth of the fairy world. If Mr. Yuanshi wants to completely verify the book of prophecy, he must live until the moment of the rebirth of the fairy world. He will definitely try his best to survive."
"And the fairyland where you are reborn after your death will definitely be taken over by Mr. Yuanshi! The end result is that Mr. Yuanshi sacrificed everyone and only achieved his own success."
"This ending is no less than that of Old Man Yuanshi who killed everyone in the world, leaving only himself. From this we can see that the only difference between Old Man Yuanshi and the extremely evil head who kills all living beings is that
It’s just that he didn’t do it himself.”
Having said this, the devil boy's childish face showed a hint of disdain, his eyes immediately turned to Shen Lang, and he said in a deep voice: "So, you kid, you have to understand that your existence is still just a chess piece used by the old man Yuan Shi, and that's all.
That’s all.”
Shen Lang frowned: "I see..."
Asura's words finally made Shen Lang see the reality clearly. Yuanshi Tianzun probably still wanted to use him to achieve the purpose of saving the world.
And after achieving his goal, Yuanshi Tianzun may find ways to liberate the energy of heaven and earth in his body and return it to the world of heaven and earth.
Thinking of this, Shen Lang felt extremely heavy and gritted his teeth and asked: "Senior Asura, if I return the energy of heaven and earth, will I definitely die?"
The demon boy was silent for a while. He did not answer Shen Lang directly, but asked: "Boy, do you know why I wanted to kill all the lives that were born from the Nine Colors of Chaos Sky-Mending Stone?"
"this……"
Shen Lang was shocked, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Please give me some advice, Senior Asura!"
The demon boy said solemnly: "In fact, the life born from the Qi of Heaven and Earth should not exist in the world. Only when there are some threats in the world, the Qi of Heaven and Earth will turn into life to deal with these threats."
"According to a certain rule, only life born from the Qi of heaven and earth can resolve these threats."
"In the final battle of the World-Destroying War, the entire space of the Demon Buried Sea was defeated. The negative impact may have caused the entire Immortal World to collapse and perish. If I had not been able to seal the Demon Buried Sea at that time, the Immortal World might have perished as a result."
"And it was Mr. Yuanshi who anticipated this and asked me to devour all the other lives born from the Nine-Colored Chaos Sky-Mending Stone before the final battle. This gave me the power to seal the Demonic Burial Sea."
"I used up all my heaven and earth energy to barely seal the Demon Burial Sea. In the end, my body disappeared and turned into dust, leaving only a trace of the will of my soul that will not affect the balance of heaven."
"This...is my fate. Even if I know that I am Yuanshi's pawn, I have to do this for the sake of morality and atonement."
The demon boy sighed.
Shen Lang fell into silence, and he understood the implication of Asura's words.
However, any life that is transformed into the energy of heaven and earth cannot escape the fate of returning to heaven and earth in the end, whether it is the Nine Colors of Chaos Sky-Mending Stone or the Chosen One.
"So, this junior is going to die eventually..."
Shen Lang's face became very ugly, and strong unwillingness welled up in his heart.
He hates this kind of fatalism extremely. Why should he accept this unfair fate?
The demon boy shook his head and said: "No, if you were an ordinary chosen one like me, you might not be able to escape your fate."
"But you are different from me, and you are different from other chosen ones. You are not an ordinary chosen one!" the demon boy said with serious eyes.
Shen Lang was confused after hearing this, and couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "May I ask Senior Asura, what is the difference between this junior and senior?"
The devil boy said with a complex expression: "We can't say for sure, but I have an intuition that there is a will hidden in your body that is beyond the constraints of heaven, and it is so powerful that it is impossible to guess..."
"It is precisely because of your special nature that Yuanshi Tianzun cannot control you like he controls me."
Thinking of the golden phantom that split out of Shen Lang's soul just now, the demon boy still has lingering fears.
Shen Lang's mind was shaken. He probably understood what the devil boy meant by "the will beyond the constraints of heaven". Perhaps it was the mysterious man wearing a sheep skull mask that appeared many times in his spiritual world.
Shen Lang has no way of knowing who that person is, but one thing that can be determined is that that person is indeed very powerful, so powerful that even Blood Demon Ding Ying would be proud to sacrifice him.
In the past, Shen Lang was very afraid of the mysterious man wearing a sheep skull mask in his spiritual world, but now he has become the only being who can protect him, which is ridiculous.
