An Jing couldn’t help but widen his eyes: "To imbue Heavenly Demons with humanity and then breed them? Is there really a method in this world to completely domesticate humans? What foolishness are they up to?"
Chenyinzi said: "But at least humans have desires, making them easier to control. We may not be talking about complete domestication, but brainwashing and distorting minds through training is not a problem. Heavenly Demons themselves can only be controlled through coercion, but if they become human, it simplifies and eases control."
"Besides, they have the Three-Life Mirror, so they are not afraid of Heart Demon corruption."
An Jing nodded with a slight frown. He recalled the Endless Heavens’ evaluation of the Taiming Sect’s treasure, the Three-Life Mirror: ’Divine Sense reincarnates three lives, sees through countless mysteries, clarifies the mind, eliminates Heart Demons, the foremost in heart cultivation.’
This item can effectively suppress Heavenly Demon erosion, as well as various deviations. Their study on how to domesticate Heavenly Demons is indeed right on target.
"Yin Ze Heavenly Monarch is a person of deep cunning and great ambition. If he doesn’t unify Dust Li, even with the approaching great calamity and the rise of the great world, he will achieve nothing significant, making Lingxiao naturally hopeless."
Continuing, Chenyinzi also shook his head: "The world rises and falls. After long unity comes division; after long division comes unity. We, the sects within Dust Li, originally split off from the Divine Court. After a period of one epoch, we do indeed need to unify. I won’t deny that. But the idea that Yin Ze Heavenly Monarch thinks he’s the one destined is laughable. In my opinion, Guangchen and Jing’er have a better chance!"
[That is indeed a problem]
Mingguang Dust said: [I have also been pondering how to resolve the threat from the Taiming Sect, but it’s really too difficult. Yin Ze Heavenly Monarch will surely wait patiently for Cheng Guang Ancient Ancestor to die of old age before taking action. Even if we resolve the current crisis, once the old ancestor falls, with the power of a Heavenly Lord and the Three-Life Mirror, we won’t be able to withstand them.]
"That is indeed a problem."
An Jing fell into deep thought, his brows furrowed: "But it sounds like they won’t act first. They will wait for someone to make a move and exhaust Cheng Guang Ancient Ancestor’s last chance to take action before they strike."
"The Tianyi Demon Sect? Da Chen? No, these two don’t actually have that much hostility, so it must be..."
An Jing pondered: "Heavenly Demons? Are they counting on Heavenly Demons to act as the vanguard?"
"They are our greatest threat?"
At this point, even Ye Po True Lord laughed, shaking her head: "Heavenly Demons may indeed be a huge threat, but An Jing, to be honest, after the ancient Demon Calamity, when have they ever been a real threat?"
"Even during the Frost Calamity, we can confirm that there were mysterious forces behind it, definitely released by human hands...The so-called Heavenly Demons are just a bunch of defeated remnants, hunted down by all Martial Artists. So, they became an excuse."
"An excuse for humans to attack humans."
Ye Po True Lord’s gaze deepened as she looked north: "Just like when the West Sea Royal Court attacked, using the Northern Sea Royal Court’s collusion with Heavenly Demons as an excuse. They did have evidence, and indeed, many Dragon Snakes were corrupted by Heavenly Demons, but the real threat was never these corrupted people. It was the other beings planning to use this excuse to attack."
"The erosion of our sect by Heavenly Demons was with the tacit approval of all forces. You think when the time comes, what excuse will they use to invade our sect? Surely it will be that our sect has been corrupted by Heavenly Demons!"
"At that time, no matter who they kill, what they destroy, or what they plunder, it can all be blamed on Heavenly Demons—it’s all the Heavenly Demons’ fault, they killed, they persecuted."
"Aside from the Demon Calamity, Heavenly Demons are not a disaster but a primer for disaster. They are the best to use and least responsible, needing no thought but simply existing as the ’error’ of original sin!"
Chapter 166: The Most Useful Episode of the Endless Heavens (3/3)
Mingguang Dust nodded: [The purpose of Heavenly Demons is chaos and decline. They don’t care who uses them. If their actions can lead to the death of the old ancestor and chaos in Dust Li, they would not hesitate to die and be used as a weapon by other forces]
[If there are no surprises, the enemy’s plan is surely this: during the True Inheritance Competition, a Heavenly Demon creates chaos, a Great Heavenly Demon takes action, drawing the old ancestor to suppress it]
Bright Mirror Sect is Mingguang Dust’s home. Even in another world, holding the authority to establish a second Bright Mirror Sect, he is deeply worried: [Just then, the Shangxuan Sect and Taiming Sect will attack together. Shangxuan Sect will directly seize the Divine Mirror fragments, while Taiming Sect will kill our available forces and seize the Divine Mirror fragments]
[And Da Chen and the Tianyi Demon Sect will seize the opportunity, either taking advantage of the situation to loot or intercept Shangxuan Sect or Taiming Sect, simultaneously plundering our Bright Mirror Sect’s wealth, or appearing as saviors to subjugate us as lackeys]
"Can’t we just cancel the True Inheritance Competition and focus on defense?"
An Jing didn’t have this thought in his heart, but he still pointed out a possibility.
But Chenyinzi shook his head: "If we don’t hold the True Inheritance Competition, it means we’ve admitted defeat without a fight. Our momentum would weaken, our destiny would fade, and all who wait and trust us would be disappointed. This is worse than losing or even dying."
"This is an open scheme; we must respond."
"So, what does the sect plan to do in response?"
After listening, An Jing felt that the sect had indeed considered and prepared for everything.
Even the existence of traitors, it is merely uncertain who belongs to which side, but surely complete preparations have been made.
