Chapter 1362 Demons, Monsters, and Humans
The Vientiane Demon Lord looked around, his eyes flashing with a deep light, and then he said:
"Demons are the purest existences in the world." His voice was deep and powerful, "We are not bound by any form and are not bound by any rules.
Our strength comes from our inner desires and will, and we pursue freedom and ultimate power. In this vast universe, only the strong can survive, and the weak will be eliminated.
Therefore, the way of the devil is to constantly break through oneself, surpassing limits, until one reaches a state of true invincibility. Of course, our methods are often too extreme and are despised by the world."
At this point, the Myriad Demon Lord suddenly paused. Seeing that everyone seemed to be lost in thought, he continued, "Demons are spiritual creatures of nature, born between heaven and earth, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon to form.
They have strong vitality and unique wisdom, and can change their form at will and adapt to various environments.
However, demons are still wild by nature, their actions are often driven by instinct, lacking true mental and moral constraints. Therefore, in the eyes of the world, demons are always regarded as evil beings.
However, there are thousands of great ways. What is the great way and what is the small way? Existence is the great way. Existence is recognized by the way of heaven. Whether it is a demon or a devil, don’t they all follow the cycle of reincarnation and enjoy the consequences of karma? "
Having said that, the eyes of the Wanxiang Demon Lord suddenly became sharp, and he said in a cold tone:
“As for the human race… hmph… you claim yourselves to be the foremost among all living things, yet you don’t know that you are actually the most vulnerable.
You rely on spells and formations to protect yourself, and on practice to improve your cultivation, but these are just appearances. Human hearts are complex and changeable, filled with greed, jealousy, and hatred.
"For power and profit, you will do anything, even betray your own companions. This selfish behavior is the root cause of your ultimate failure."
His words made many monks feel shaken, and some even showed confused expressions.
Seeing this, the Demon Lord of All Things took the opportunity to further elaborate on his point of view, saying, "You think that the so-called righteous path is justice, but you don't know that this is just an excuse you use to cover up the ugliness in your hearts.
In this world, only power is the true truth. Whether demon, monster, or human, everyone must ultimately obey this law. Only the strongest can determine the rules of this world and decide what is good and what is evil.
Although the remarks of the Demon Lord of All Things were extreme, they triggered inner reflection among many cultivators.
Some people began to question whether the beliefs they had always believed in were really as bad as the Demon Lord said; others still firmly believed that justice and kindness were the qualities that practitioners should possess.
At this time, an old man at the level of Immortal Emperor circulated his immortal energy and said:
"Your Excellency, what you said may have some truth, but the reason why our human race can stand between heaven and earth and serve as the leader of all living things is...
It is precisely because we know how to restrain our desires and abide by moral standards. Because of these constraints, we will not fall into evil as you say. "
The All-Seeing Demon Lord smiled faintly and said contemptuously, "Restraining desires? Adhering to norms? These are all signs of weakness. Your so-called morality is nothing but shackles that restrict your own development."
If you are willing to let go of these constraints, follow me, and journey together to the outer demonic realm, then there will definitely be a place for you in the Nine Heavens in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, a commotion erupted in the crowd again. A hint of hesitation flashed across the eyes of some young monks, clearly moved by the Omnipresent Demon Lord's words. Meanwhile, the veteran monks, who had endured countless hardships, shook their heads, expressing their determination not to yield.
"Lord of the Ten Thousand Demons, stop spreading rumors and misleading the people here. It is impossible for our human cultivators to be deceived by you." Sage Yuqing scolded with an ugly look on his face.
"This Wanxiang Demon Lord can cultivate to this level. His thinking level is indeed extraordinary. You know what, what he said does make sense." Lu Chen came back to his senses and thought.
However, he was not shaken by the words of the Lord of All Things, because he knew very well that although the words of the Lord of All Things seemed reasonable, what was hidden behind them was the denial of human nature and the trampling of free will.
For a cultivator, the most important thing is not the strength of one's power, but the most basic cultivation of one's heart.
For example, no matter how powerful a person is, if he does evil and always achieves his own goals at the expense of others, someone will eventually stand up and eliminate him. It is only a matter of time.
Of course, it is undeniable that killing and plundering are happening all the time in the entire fairy world, or the world of cultivation, but this does not mean that these people are completely evil. Everything follows a relative principle.
As soon as he reached this point, within a breath, Lu Chen's thoughts were interrupted again by the voice of the Wanxiang Demon Lord:
"Everyone, do you know why the four saints, Zhan Chen, Qiu Tian, Xuan Jie, and Wu Xu, would cooperate with me? And why would they willingly open the seal leading to the outer demonic realm? Aren't you curious?"
Having said this, millions of human cultivators indeed burst into whispers again.
However, their voices were soon drowned out by the voice of the Omniscient Demon Lord:
"I might as well tell you that it's because I know that the so-called outer demon world is not actually a real demon world, but a world of the Nine Heavens where humans and demons coexist. What they cultivate is the Nine Heavens Mysterious Law, and what they achieve is the Supreme Dao."
His words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly plunging all the monks present into deep thought.
Some looked puzzled, while others were shocked. The Myriad Demon Lord continued, "This world is exactly the legendary divine realm spoken of by you humans. It is precisely because of this that Zhan Chen and others are willing to cooperate with me to open the seal of this passage."
There was a cunning glint in his eyes, as if he could see through everyone's heart.
He looked around, sneered, and asked, "So what? Do you still think the saints of your race are so noble?"
The words of the Lord of All Things were like a bombshell, sparking heated discussions among the crowd.
Some young monks began to waver, and their faith suffered an unprecedented impact.
After all, if everything the Lord of All Things said was true, then wouldn't those saints whom they have always respected and followed also be doing whatever it takes for their own benefit?
"Impossible, that's not the case!" An elderly monk stepped forward, his voice firm and powerful. "Our human saints have always been committed to protecting the common people and upholding justice. They would never betray humanity for personal gain."
However, when the old man finished speaking and looked towards the direction of the seal of the passage to the outer demon world, his eyes instantly became dejected...
