Destiny is ashes

Chapter 763: The Devil of Fallen and Depravity (56)

In front of An Jing, a strangely swollen human figure with black tarry slime flowing out was smiling with a mouth as deep as the abyss. And beside it, a beautiful woman with skin as white as snow, scales, and almost no clothes, with a pair of wings covering her body, had a blank expression on her face, and only a pair of light golden eyes were watching curiously.

In the arms of the cold and lonely woman, an ice-blue little dragon was looking at An Jing indifferently. To be more precise, it was looking at the Broken Sword Fuxie that appeared in An Jing's hand.

Decayed Life, Questioning Heart, Bitter Silence. The three great demons that were most entangled with An Jing, their fundamental manifestations appeared in this demon space and confronted An Jing.

【Lord of the Mandate of Heaven】

As a rare demon among the demons, his thoughts are very similar to those of humans, and he often devours and merges with humans. He smiled and revealed An Jing's destiny. From his abyssal mouth came a hearty and harmonious voice that could not be distinguished between men and women: [Originally, we wanted to contact you at Mingguang Peak, but who knew that you eliminated so many demons and did not give us a chance to see you]

[And now, we are not here to fight you - if you want to fight, we are willing to do so - we just want to ask you a question]

[How would you feel if you knew that we wanted to help you this time? ]

"help?"

Hearing this, both An Jing and Fu Xie were stunned for a moment. They simply could not believe such a thing. However, if Tian Mo wanted to lie, he would definitely not tell such a clumsy lie. He frowned and said, "You mean that you are eroding the ghosts and gods, eroding the Jade Wheel, and Master Yan Gui wants to help us?"

[At that time, our goal was consistent with that of the Taiming Sect]

Xiu Ming smiled and said: [The purpose of Tai Ming Sect is very simple, that is to suppress the entire sect, destroy all the sect forces in Chen Li, kill all living beings, recreate reincarnation, completely revive the Three Lives Mirror, complete the great feat of rebuilding reincarnation, and produce a Ling Xiao Tianzun and the pinnacle 'Three Lives Reincarnation Divine Mirror', return to the pinnacle realm, and compete for the ticket to the battle of the Great World Tianzong]

[Our goal is also to slaughter all living beings and completely overturn the boundaries of life, death and the netherworld. We have already begun to infiltrate the ghosts and gods. With the help of the Taiming Sect's grand plan, all living beings will return to reincarnation. We can also take advantage of the situation to infiltrate reincarnation and make some newborns born as demons, and some ghosts and gods born as our celestial demons.]

[In this way, the entire Netherworld will become a demonic land]

"Isn't this plan going smoothly?" An Jing raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you continue? Instead, you help us?"

[This is an ancient mission. The Demonic Land is not our real goal.]

At this moment, the demon Ji Xin spoke, his voice was extremely elegant. If people did not know that the other party was the demon, everyone would think that it was a goddess who descended from the sky.

At this moment, the demon calmly expressed his thoughts: [Back then, in order to exist, the demon land was necessary, but now that the situation is not so serious, we naturally have other ideas.]

[Although Taiming has been eroded by us, as long as there is a Lingxiao in the world, He will have enough time and power to wipe us out. By then, all the erosion will be meaningless. Otherwise, do you really think that Taiming Sect doesn't know that we are also using them? Don't underestimate the Supreme Sect Tianzun, we are all using each other]

"I see."

While An Jing was communicating with Fu Xie about how to break through this demonic space and return to the outside world, he was also communicating with the demons. He was thoughtful: "Do you think that if Chen Liruo is the only one in power, you will not be able to achieve your goal, so you want to help our Mingjing Sect and continue to fight against Taiming Sect?"

[It’s like this] Ji Xin nodded expressionlessly: [Of course, it doesn’t matter whether you help or not, we will do this, we just want to get an answer from you]

[Lord of the Destiny, if you knew that we, the Heavenly Demons, are not willing to be your 'enemies', what would you think? 】

"Ha, that's a good question."

At this moment, An Jing felt vaguely enlightened, as if a question that had troubled him for a long time had a vague answer.

This question is very simple. [What is the purpose of the demon? ]

In the past, An Jing always felt that the purpose of the devil was to destroy the world, to expand himself, and to bring an absolute disaster that destroyed all civilizations and minds.

But... that doesn't seem to be the case.

Whether it was Daoting, Fuxie's memories, or what An Jing had witnessed along the way, there seemed to be a vague feeling like this.

That is, the purpose of the devil is not destruction.

On the contrary, the number of people killed by the devil is probably far greater than that killed by humans.

Since the very beginning of the Supreme Inner Demon, the Heavenly Demons have always been trying to stir up conflicts, murder each other, and stir up struggles between creatures and civilizations - they do destroy some worlds and caves, but if you have to say that their goal is to destroy everything, that is definitely not the case.

An Jing had seen many corrupt and decadent worlds from Fu Xie's memories. Although those worlds shrouded by the devil were extremely dark and desperate, and extremely decadent and corrupt, there was no doubt that those creatures were all alive.

They are not destruction.

So, what is the purpose of the devil?
Comparing the struggle between Mingjing Sect and Taiming Sect, the answer vaguely emerges.

That is... [Degeneration].

The demons are not a group of doomsday creatures that are bloodthirsty, destructive, and destroy everything.

On the contrary, they just enjoy it, enjoying the feeling of being like crabs in a barrel tearing each other apart, having hope of leaving but never being able to truly escape, the feeling of being depraved and never being able to escape from the "abyss".

Yeah, yeah. That's it.

"you……"

An Jing murmured to himself: "Just want to see degeneration and fall?"

[Yes, just like all living things in this world]

Hearing An Jing's enlightenment, the demons laughed. They laughed heartily: [The Imperial Court was about to open up a new path, but was interrupted by the five deities; the Ancestral Dragon was about to be resurrected, but was sealed by the Great Chen Dynasty]

[The immortal path had a brand new future, but was blocked by the Shangxuan Sect. The ancient Tianzong wanted to open up a brand new Taixu Star Road, but was defeated by other sects]

[This world is already filled with endless sinking and countless degradations... Every time the Seven Evil Tribulations appear, it is the beginning of sinking and degradation. Every time the Natural Master appears, countless corrupt humans will be enraged. The Creator of Nothingness and the Lord of Heaven and Earth are sealed by countless desires. Even our existence is the desire of the ancient immortals and gods, and the wish of all living beings.]

[If not, we would have been wiped out long ago. How could we have survived until now? ]

[But you are different, An Jing. You are a destiny we have never seen before. Your heart contains endless devastation and anger, and your ideas are extremely novel. We want to know, to know you, your destiny, and the attitude of the heaven behind you. We want to know, so we ask, just like humans are curious.]
