Gold Core Is A Star, You Call This Cultivating Immortality?

Chapter 136: Talk to me about human nature? Talk about the bigger picture? I'll chop you to death!

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Wherever the eyes could see, the soldiers' blades pointed.

Under the formation specially improved by Qi Yuan, the Supreme surged like an iron tide, rushing towards the vast plain.

One hundred thousand Supreme, like heavenly soldiers, crushed everything in their path, invincible.

After all, the current formation was created by all the great Supreme of the Drifting Wind World, and then Qi Yuan identified the loopholes and made improvements.

The strength of this formation far surpassed the formations used by the Supreme who besieged Ning Tao back then.

Mighty and unstoppable, they pushed forward directly.

Qi Yuan stood in the void, wearing a red robe even brighter than blood.

A lazy expression appeared on his face. "This is what... playing a game feels like."

Now, he finally experienced the pleasure of being a big spender.

His subordinates kept pushing forward, and he didn't need to lift a finger.

Compared to the fierce battles in the Earth's End, this was extremely relaxed.

Now, he was like a major villain, constantly bombarding the righteous side, suppressing them with great force.

The Supreme of the Ten Thousand Beast World, facing ten times the enemy, dared not engage in real battles and had long fled in all directions.

Unfortunately, they were surrounded by the blood-robed Supreme from all sides.

Hundreds of Supreme camps continuously closed the distance, continuously using Origin Divine Abilities to launch long-range attacks.

They only needed to cast Origin Divine Abilities in specific areas, without specifically targeting any particular Supreme.

Using endless Divine Abilities, they forcefully killed those Monster Race Supreme.

The situation was completely one-sided. The Ten Thousand Beast World Supreme, who were considered the true enemies by the Drifting Wind World, had no room to fight back under Qi Yuan's explosive attacks.

"No!"

"How is this possible!"

"Why is it like this?"

Once lofty and full of spirit, the Supreme of the Ten Thousand Beast World felt weak, helpless, confused for the first time.

Their cries were drowned out by the Origin Divine Abilities.

These Supreme had no idea how to break through the defense or which Origin Divine Ability to resist.

There were too many.

Too many.

Truly too many.

On this day, one hundred thousand Supreme pushed forward and killed countless Ten Thousand Beast World Supreme.

The vast plain was blasted into an abyss.

Here, the aura of the origin was extremely rich.

Ordinary Supreme would have a high chance of perishing just by entering.

It was like a battlefield after a nuclear weapon leaked, where living beings couldn't enter at all.

Qi Yuan stood in the void, wearing a long robe.

Chen Huan's face was filled with self-blame. "Blood Lord, Her Majesty... has disappeared."

At this moment, he didn't call Qi Yuan "Big Brother," but Blood Lord.

Now that almost all the major enemies had been pushed back and killed, only Her Majesty's whereabouts were unknown.

Under the push and encirclement of one hundred thousand Supreme, it was extremely strange for Her Majesty to disappear without a trace.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan was not surprised and smiled. "It seems that the reason why the big boss became the big boss is because she has some skills."

As for her... she should be... there!"

He already had a rough idea of Shang Yanran's identity.

Indeed... she was a very troublesome boss.

But that was only for others.

Qi Yuan's gaze pierced through the long distance, seemingly traversing time, and landed on the last stronghold of the Drifting Wind World.

"Let's go!"

The one hundred thousand blood-robed Supreme army rushed towards the final stronghold.

This scene was extremely spectacular, even terrifying.

The Supreme in the stronghold had lived for half their lives and had seen all kinds of situations.

But they had never seen such a scene!

Originally, they thought that the final battle would be the most terrifying one.

They were likely to fight to the last drop of blood for the Drifting Wind World.

But who knew that they had nothing to do with the final battle.

One hundred thousand Supreme rushed to the Ten Thousand Demon Gate and directly killed the Supreme of the Ten Thousand Beast World.

It was truly... unimaginable.

And at this moment, the army in blood-colored robes, like a cloud of blood, was approaching.

Their hearts couldn't help but tremble.

In an instant, the mighty and orderly army had already arrived at the city gates.

The army split apart, and a figure dressed in blood-red emerged from the middle. All the Supremes looked at that figure with deep awe in their eyes.

Qi Yuan's gaze fell on the girl in the black dress in the distance.

His gaze softened. "I'm here."

This time, there were no unexpected occurrences like in the first world.

It seemed like he was speaking to the girl, but also to the others in the stronghold.

The girl, Ning Tao, looked at Qi Yuan. Her footsteps hesitated for the first time, and a thousand words filled her heart, eventually turning into one sentence: "I'll be waiting for you."

Today, she wore light makeup and deliberately changed into black stockings.

Under the black silk robe, the girl's figure appeared exceptionally petite, like a small one. The jade bowl hanging upside down on her chest was neither big nor small, delicate and exquisite. Her slender, fair legs were wrapped in black stockings, like a sickly girl who had stepped out of an anime.

Her skin was very fair, a cold white, which seemed to match her personality.

But she seemed out of place in this world.

In her, Qi Yuan saw the figure of a canary.

At this moment, a charming voice came from within the stronghold.

"Great Demon truly lives up to its name, actually causing me to lose a life."

The speaker was none other than the Supreme who had disappeared before.

She appeared within the stronghold!

"Supreme!"

"How did she get here?"

The hundreds of Supremes in the stronghold were all moved, and they were also extremely wary of the Supreme.

The Supreme hid within the stronghold, using them as a shield.

The Supreme's strength was incredibly powerful, even slightly surpassing the White Emperor.

However, facing the siege of a hundred thousand Supremes, she naturally couldn't hold on alone.

Now, she was mingling among the Supremes, making the Blood Lord wary.

Qi Yuan looked at Shang Yanran. "Actually, I really want you to die now, but... I'm also a little reluctant."

If Shang Yanran died, the game would end.

Every time the game ended, Qi Yuan felt a bit melancholic.

It was like finishing a manga or a TV show.

Having stayed in the Drifting Wind World for so many years, longer than in the Ash Water World, he had already become accustomed to it.

Shang Yanran didn't understand Qi Yuan's words, but she also said, "I have the same thoughts about my mentor. I hope my mentor can pass away, but I also hope... my mentor can stay in this world."

As she spoke, she seemed particularly melancholic.

Ling Yayi heard this and anger flashed in her eyes. "Shang Yanran, how shameless can you be? Now that the situation is settled, what else do you have to say?"

Shang Yanran remained calm as she looked at Qi Yuan. "I have always believed that justice will triumph over evil!"

"Heh, you call yourself justice, but you're nothing more than a hypocrite!" Ling Yayi cursed.

Although the Northern Demon Thirteen Demons were called demons, they had also killed many pursuers, but they were not completely evil villains.

"Everything I have done is for the Drifting Wind World. I have no regrets!" Shang Yanran said with a calm expression. "Ask Baize, every single thing I have done is for the Drifting Wind World, for the people of this world!"

Her voice became impassioned.

In Qi Yuan's eyes, there was a hint of a mocking smile. "The big boss wants to wash away their sins before dying, to perfect their image, right?"

Shang Yanran ignored Qi Yuan's words and looked at Baize, questioning, "The battle between the North and the South, is it not to eliminate the evil? Bringing in the Supremes from the Ten Thousand Beast World, is it not to suppress the evil?"

Baize remained silent for a while before saying, "Yanran, your methods are too extreme."

"If I'm not extreme, if I don't do these evil deeds, the Drifting Wind World would have been finished long ago! Thousands of years ago, I sacrificed my life to send nearly three thousand elderly Supremes away! And now, I willingly become the scapegoat, making you, Baize, famous!" Shang Yanran's voice became hysterical.

"Once the number of demons in this world reaches a certain limit, the Drifting Wind World... will truly collapse, and even the Heavenly Dao will be contaminated! This world will become a true paradise for demons."

Baize remained silent, not saying a word.

Shang Yanran's face showed a pained expression. "You, Baize, don't want to kill, don't want to kill the Supremes, so I'll do it. And what's the result... Baize, take a look, who is the real sinner in this world? A hundred thousand Supremes... such a grand scale, such a huge scale! Do you think these hundred thousand Supremes will peacefully pass away? Once one-tenth of these hundred thousand Supremes... refuse to pass away peacefully. This world, which was originally abandoned by the gods, will be instantly contaminated by the Heavenly Dao. Everyone, every Supreme, including you and me, will turn into demons."

Shang Yanran looked at everyone, her expression filled with excitement.

"So, who is the Great Demon, who is the great evildoer causing harm to the world!"

As she spoke, she stared straight at Qi Yuan.

As if saying that he was the true sinner.

And she, on the other hand, was pitiful and misunderstood, a kind little flower that the world did not understand.

The Supremes present were all shaken upon hearing her words.

Could it be that everything the Lord said was true?

Everything she did was only to eliminate the evil and prevent Drifting Wind World from truly... perishing.

Everyone looked at White Emperor, seemingly hoping to get answers from his mouth.

In White Emperor's eyes, a complex expression flashed: "Once the number of evil beings in this realm reaches a certain amount... Drifting Wind World will indeed sink into true destruction. This is a warning from Heavenly Dao, the information I received when I was bestowed with the Heartless Lotus."

All the Supremes present fell silent.

Even the Supreme among the Thirteen Demons of the North, who had objections towards Shang Yanran, was now conflicted and hesitant.

"Why didn't you speak up and make it known to everyone?" a Supreme couldn't help but ask.

Shang Yanran's face turned cold: "Human nature... is selfish. Is it useful to make it known to everyone? Who doesn't want to live a long and peaceful life? Are all people selfless, sacrificing themselves for the world? Perhaps some people, knowing this, would intentionally create a large number of evil beings. As long as there are selfish people, this world... will eventually be destroyed."

As Shang Yanran spoke, she looked at Qi Yuan: "Master, are the hundred thousand people behind you... selfless individuals willing to sacrifice themselves?"

Bai Ze also looked at the hundred thousand Supremes in the sky, his expression confused.

The evil beings spawned by the hundred thousand Supremes behind Qi Yuan were enough to truly destroy Drifting Wind World.

Upon hearing Shang Yanran's words, the hundred thousand Supremes behind Qi Yuan also became confused and moved.

Shang Yanran's face showed endless hesitation and sadness: "Fortunately, the reincarnations of the Great Demon and the Demoness have been found. The evil beings in Drifting Wind World originated from the Great Demon and the Demoness, and they should also end with the Great Demon and the Demoness."

She looked at Qi Yuan and Ning Tao.

As if saying that these two were the reincarnations of the Great Demon and the Demoness.

Only when these two perish can Drifting Wind World be at peace.

Indeed, with Shang Yanran's words, the gazes of everyone present towards Qi Yuan changed.

After all, if Qi Yuan was truly the Great Demon, then the calamity of this realm was born because of him.

Only with his death can this world be at peace.

The Supremes no longer need to worry about whether they will die peacefully.

Shang Yanran's words stirred people's hearts.

In addition, her words contained a hint of temptation.

It seemed that many people were influenced by her.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan smiled: "Playing with people's hearts, how interesting. You talk to me about human nature, about depth, trying to morally manipulate me?"

Qi Yuan's blood surged within him.

"Today, I will let you see that so-called human nature is nothing more than this. The most powerful thing in the world is... power!"

Qi Yuan said, facing the hundred thousand Supremes behind him, "Am I the Great Demon?"

A moment of confusion flashed in the eyes of the hundred thousand Supremes.

Yang Hun and Chen Huan hurriedly shouted, "The Blood Lord is not the Great Demon!"

The hundred thousand Supremes behind them, recalling the terror of the Blood Lord, his powerful Origin Divine Ability that slaughtered Supremes like chickens, no longer hesitated and shouted in unison.

"The Blood Lord is not the Great Demon!"

The sound rolled and echoed within the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons.

Qi Yuan stood in the void and said, "See, this is what true human hearts are like! What nonsense about the greater picture, about the world's people! I am the greater picture!"

His eyes carried a disdainful expression.

"The many Supremes of the Blood Palace feared me, were afraid of me, and even wanted to kill me. So what? Now, aren't they obediently serving me?"

At this moment, Qi Yuan resembled an arrogant and domineering villain.

In the end, no one could do anything to him.

"Calling a deer a horse, how interesting." Qi Yuan raised his palm, "Shang Yanran is the Great Demon."

Chen Huan and Yang Hun understood Qi Yuan's meaning and quickly shouted, "Shang Yanran is the Great Demon!"

The hundred thousand Supremes behind them also shouted in unison, "Shang Yanran is the Great Demon!"

The sound roared and reverberated through the heavens and earth.

This scene appeared both ridiculous and awe-inspiring.

"See?" Qi Yuan pointed at the Supremes all around, "This is what human hearts are like!"

For the first time, a sense of urgency appeared in Shang Yanran's heart.

She had played with people's hearts, causing the downfall of various realms, but she had never seen someone like Qi Yuan before.

However, she remained undaunted: "Master, when you were the Great Demon, you killed your most beloved Demoness for the sake of the world's people."

At the ends of the earth, in order to seal the evil, you entered the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons alone, offering yourself as a sacrifice to the demons.

Today, can you also sacrifice yourself for this world, for the billions of lives in the Drifting Wind World...?"

Shang Yanran's voice was filled with righteousness and was stirring, spreading in all directions.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan's smile on his face grew even wider. "You're even more disgusting than Clear Light Palace, trying to morally manipulate me?"

"I know that this may be too selfish, but for the sake of the world, for the greater good, I am willing to be a villain and say such things!" Shang Yanran continued.

Disgust filled Qi Yuan's face, and this was the first time he cursed since coming to this realm.

"Damn it, still blabbering on, I'll kill you!"

"I have no manners, I am a university student, I don't care about the bigger picture!"

Qi Yuan's hand trembled, and the blood-colored long sword in Ning Tao's hand returned to his own hand.

He held the sword and swung it towards Shang Yanran.

Qi Yuan had long surpassed the limits of this world.

With a single swing of the sword, endless desires erupted at this moment.

Even in Shang Yanran's eyes, there was a hint of astonishment.

Because her body originated from this realm, it could also be influenced by inner demons.

With a swing of the sword, Qi Yuan's unstoppable Origin Divine Ability was not as smooth as before.

The sword only injured Shang Yanran and did not draw out her inner demon.

Shang Yanran's face turned pale. She had to sever her own arm to resolve this Origin Divine Ability. She couldn't help but shout, "Baize, why aren't you taking action? Only by killing the Great Demon can this world truly be at peace!"

In the stronghold, Baize's eyes were filled with endless hesitation and conflict.

Shang Yanran's voice came again.

"The Buddha once killed the most beloved demon woman for the sake of the world. Now, if you kill the Great Demon, your mentor won't blame you. What stands before you now is not your mentor, but the Great Demon!"

"Killing the Great Demon is also your mentor's dying wish!"

Baize stood in the stronghold, motionless. His heart was filled with countless emotions, struggling. The aura of the Heartless Lotus emitted a terrifying presence.

Even Qi Yuan sensed a hint of danger.

Qi Yuan's gaze also fell on the Heartless Lotus, his eyes showing a trace of surprise.

[The Dust-covered Great Sun Golden Lotus, the relic formed after the Parinirvana of the Great Sun Luminous Buddha, capable of molding an immaculate golden body of glass. It possesses boundless power and once truly manifests, it can incinerate everything in the world.]

At this moment, when Qi Yuan saw the Great Sun Golden Lotus, he suddenly understood.

His Origin Divine Ability was called "Forget," the Great Forgetting Heart Sutra.

It required him to remember everything from the past, then forget, and remember again.

The plot of this world's game had been replayed countless times in his mind.

There were many unresolved questions and loopholes.

Back then, on Jiupan Mountain, he ordered Baize and Shang Yanran to investigate the Gate of Myriad Differences and report back to him.

At that time, he glanced at Baize and the information conveyed by his eyes was that Baize was a monk.

He couldn't help but smile at Baize and Shang Yanran.

Later, through the Fate Stone Tablet, he finally confirmed that Shang Yanran was the spirit of the Fate Stone Tablet.

And there was once a great Buddha who transformed the Fate Stone Tablet, also known as the Deceptive Stone Tablet.

He was certain in his heart that Shang Yanran was a demon woman and also the Deceptive Stone Tablet.

And his disciple Baize was once a Buddha, once a demon.

The source of all evil.

However, there was still one thing Qi Yuan didn't understand.

What was Shang Yanran doing all this for?

Could it be that she just wanted to make the Buddha fall and become the Great Demon?

If that's the case, she only needed to spread the news that Baize was the Great Demon.

Then, wouldn't Baize fall?

Now, at this moment when he saw the Great Sun Golden Lotus, he completely understood.

Shang Yanran's goal had always been the Great Sun Golden Lotus.

But she didn't dare to push too hard, didn't dare to directly confront Baize.

Once she awakened Baize's memories of being the Great Demon, he would probably become the Great Demon again.

At that time, the Dust-covered Great Sun Golden Lotus would incinerate everything in the world.

The corrupted Baize would, like the previous Great Demon, kill the demon woman once again.

The Drifting Wind World would be completely destroyed, and even she, as the Fate Stone Tablet, would not be spared.

So, she changed her approach.

She accused Ning Tao of being the demon woman and accused Blood Lord of being the Great Demon.

She forced Baize to take action against Blood Lord and Ning Tao.
