Tomb Robber: Oops, I think I met a tomb robber.

No, no, no, that thing isn't even a complete Three Thousand Demon Gods. The Three Thousand Demon Gods correspond to the Three Thousand Great Daos, each mastering a single law of power. But that thing isn't like that. It possesses many different kinds, and the reason is simple: it's a mixture of the flesh of many deceased demon gods, not just any one demon god. This is also why it can easily split into three parts and go to three different worlds. Because it's made up of multiple corpses, it's easy to separate.

Yunyun shook her head and gave the real answer. Everyone was stunned, while Qiuyue suddenly understood.

"Ah, no wonder its two eyeballs didn't move in the same direction when I fought that guy. I guess it's because they don't belong to the same demon."

It's possible that it's made of minced corpses. The more pieces of a demon god it has, the more consciousness it will generate. Based on the laws it controls, it must have fused the pieces of at least dozens of demon gods, yet ultimately only has one consciousness. Presumably, the other consciousnesses that emerged were erased, or perhaps none were born at all.

Yunyun confirmed Qiuyue's statement, but Qiuyue was puzzled after hearing it: "A consciousness that was born? Isn't it the consciousness of the demon god itself?"

The others also frowned slightly, but Yunyun immediately waved her hand.

"That's not it, absolutely not. If it were truly the consciousness of the Demon God himself, we would have already failed in the first world. Sister, while the three thousand Demon Gods may not be considered terrifying beings, they were all powerful figures in the prehistoric era. Not only do they each represent a law, but they also possess high intelligence. That creature, on the other hand, is different. Although it possesses many laws, it uses them crudely and clumsily, and its intelligence isn't very high. If it were the Demon God himself, then both worlds would have been destroyed by him long before my arrival, both Heavenly Paths."

After these words were spoken, everyone fell into silence for a moment, and Qiuyue nodded in understanding again.

This is indeed the truth. After all, that guy always gives people the impression that he is not smart.

If she had been smarter, she would have sent someone or cloned herself to kill her as soon as she arrived in the second world, instead of being so cruel as to fall into deep sleep.

"If that's the case, then the pollution in this world is also caused by the corpse of the demon god. Even if Yue'er burns it clean with the golden fire now, it will still come out after a while, right?"

Xie Yuchen asked with a frown, and his question was not unreasonable.

Now that the world's spiritual energy has revived, the entire earth has begun to expand exponentially, and all kinds of forbidden areas have appeared out of thin air in various places, as if the previously compressed areas have finally expanded with the help of spiritual energy. At that time, they asked Yunyun curiously, and the answer given by Yunyun was very simple: these forbidden areas are all compressed in a space, and spiritual energy is like a key. After activating and opening this space, the forbidden areas hidden inside will come out.

In other words, even if Qiuyue had just burned the entire planet with golden fire, as long as there were forbidden areas that had not been released, there would still be other pollution hidden inside that had not been resolved - unless Qiuyue had always been in this world and released golden fire every time a new forbidden area appeared, so as to prevent the emergence and spread of pollution.

[Yes, as of now, at least 80% of the folded forbidden land is still open. You all know the number of the 3,000 demon gods. Their bodies are large, and the corpses they produce are numerous. Almost every forbidden land is contaminated. As long as there are still forbidden areas that have not been released, it cannot be said that the pollution has been completely cleared.]

Yunyun said with a headache, and Wu Xie and others frowned even more tightly.

Another 80%? There have been at least 200 forbidden areas in the past two years, but only about 20% have appeared now?

Is it true that this was once a top-tier world? With such a strong foundation?

"Yunyun, Heaven said that its natural enemy will appear after a while. What kind of natural enemy is it?"

When everyone was silent, Qiuyue remembered what Yunyun had repeated at the beginning. Yunyun was stunned for a moment, then showed an expression of sudden realization.

[Oh yeah, there’s this one too, how could I have forgotten! ]

Yunyun patted her head, and the sadness on her face disappeared. Instead, she looked relaxed.

The natural enemies that Heaven is referring to are naturally those dormant immortals and gods. I just mentioned this to you, sister. Once someone in this world transcends their tribulation and becomes an immortal, forbidden areas like Heaven and Hell will appear, and the dormant immortals and gods within will awaken. Then, they can deal with them.

Logically speaking, when hearing that there really are natural enemies that can deal with these pollutions, normal people will feel relieved and happy. However, everyone present is smart. Even Qiuyue is still in the mint candy stage at this moment. They noticed something was wrong in an instant.

"It will take at least dozens or even hundreds of years for someone to truly transcend the tribulation and become an immortal. The spiritual energy has only been revived for a little over two years, and over two hundred forbidden areas have already appeared. By the time someone transcends the tribulation and becomes an immortal, I'm afraid all the forbidden areas will have already appeared. How can we even wait for those immortals to wake up?"

"Yes, if we really leave it alone and wait for those gods to wake up, I'm afraid many people would have died long ago."

"Pollution existed even before the gods fell asleep. If they truly had a solution, why is there still so much pollution left in the forbidden areas?"

"The Heavenly Dao's concept of time is different from ours. In its eyes, decades or hundreds of years are but the blink of an eye. So, for it, the natural enemies of pollution, the group of immortals, will indeed wake up very quickly. However, it does not matter how many people are killed by the pollution during this period. Because the souls of the dead are always in the world, they will be reborn into the world again, so it does not count as a loss for the Heavenly Dao."

"Instead of waiting for those immortals to wake up, why don't we think of a way to solve it ourselves?"

They talked one after another, and Qiuyue nodded repeatedly, feeling that each one made more sense than the last.

Yunyun was also reminded by these words, and fell into distress again.

[Oh, it's true. This period of time will take many years. If we really wait for those gods to wake up, I'm afraid everyone in society will die.]

Listening to Yunyun's melancholy again, Qiuyue gently stroked its cloud body and asked with some doubt, "Yunyun, I actually have another question. How did those pollutions appear when the immortals and gods were still around? Was it a huge entity made up of corpses like those two worlds? Or were they just corpses of all sizes scattered around the world, without consciousness?"

Qiuyue asked this question purely on a whim, because she was really curious why the immortals and gods did not completely solve the pollution back then, but instead allowed it to remain until now.

If it is the same as what she encountered, with a real body and consciousness, then it should be easy for the immortals and gods to deal with it. After all, there are so many immortals and gods, and they can definitely solve it with their combined efforts. But if it is scattered, with countless minced meat, then it will be really troublesome to completely eliminate it, which is much more troublesome than a whole piece of conscious real body.

And the fact was just as Qiuyue guessed, Yunyun gave the answer.

"It's the second type, sister. The corpses of the three thousand demon gods are too numerous to be completely cleared. Furthermore, some demon gods' bodies even reproduce automatically, continuing to grow even without consciousness. This is why the immortal gods have yet to completely eliminate these things. There are simply too many of them, just like cockroaches in a house, you can never get rid of them all."

After saying this, Yunyun paused and added an even more shocking piece of news.

You all know about demons, right? The demons that go astray and become possessed. Actually, those are living beings infected by pollution. Whether they're human, demon, immortal, or something else, as long as they're infected by this pollution, they'll go astray and become possessed. That's how demons come about. Ultimately, they're caused by the pollution of demons. As long as a constant stream of living beings are polluted, the pollution and demonic energy won't disappear, but will only persist. In fact, the more living beings are polluted, the more demonic energy there will be.

This news was nothing short of shocking. No one had expected that the demons in myths and legends came from this way. However, after Yunyun finished speaking, everyone connected everything at once.

No wonder the gods failed to completely eliminate the pollution. It was not only because the amount of minced meat was large and would continue to grow, but also because the demons infected by the pollution were numerous and the gods could not eliminate them all - there were constantly growing enemies and countless sources. Who could completely eliminate it?

This is an ancient problem.

"So what should we do now? Should we just leave it alone? The Heavenly Dao doesn't bother to intervene because He knows that the gods will awaken and deal with it in a few hundred years. But those polluted are living people. If we leave it alone, countless people will die in the next few hundred years. And if those children of destiny are not capable enough, it may take thousands or even tens of thousands of years for them to overcome the tribulation and become immortals, awakening the gods."

Wu Xie spoke in a very serious tone, and the others nodded slightly, agreeing with him. However, before they could say anything else, Yun Yun's next words made them very unbelievable.

[!! I just received a message from the main system telling me that I can intervene to remove the pollution, but I can't remove it all. I need to keep a certain amount of pollution in this world.]
