Gu Jinlai’s figure paused.
The Demon Spirit actually knows about the Evil God in the True Spirit Realm?
At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and stopped, his gaze... quickly scanning the surroundings of the Demon Realm.
This wasn’t his first time in the Demon Realm.
All along, he felt that the Demon Realm had a kind of...
as if it were a scene of ruins after a nuclear war.
More exaggerated than the scene of ruins after a nuclear war.
The sky was obscured by flames, the earth was full of cracks, and visible lava was spewing out from the ground, flowing across the land.
Thick smoke hovered in the sky, and raging fires burned wildly.
This scene matched entirely with people’s understanding of the "Demon Realm."
But right now, hearing Cangming suddenly mention the Evil God, he couldn’t help but think of something.
If one day all spiritual attributes of the Longevity World were completely devoured by that Evil God, what would the Longevity World become.
"Could it be that your world..."
Gu Jinlai’s gaze gradually turned serious.
"An already dead world."
Demon Lord Cangming said in a deep voice: "When a world reaches its late stage, its internal structure will be affected, earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes... will completely destroy all living beings of this world, until no life can survive in it anymore."
Speaking of this, the demon lord paused slightly: "At the very least, it won’t allow any material or energy life forms to survive."
Gu Jinlai looked at the scarlet sky at the far end of the horizon.
It was a phenomenon formed by the constant emission of special gases from the earth and their violent friction with the atmosphere.
He sensed this world carefully once more.
was filled with toxic gases; under such conditions, it was almost impossible for material life to survive.
As for energy life forms like Gu Jinlai...
This was a world entirely without Spirit Mechanisms.
Not the slightest bit.
Without Spirit Mechanisms, naturally there is no spiritual energy.
Unless new sources of energy are found, or one transforms oneself into an energy cultivation system that requires no external environment, or one cultivates into a Great Dao Golden Immortal to draw energy from the structure that forms the cosmic rules.
Otherwise, over time, any energy life form would dissipate along with energy exhaustion.
Demon Lord Cangming looked at Gu Jinlai: "Once that slumbering Evil God awakens, the fate of your world won’t be better off than ours in the Spirit Realm."
Gu Jinlai pondered slightly upon seeing this.
After quite a while, he said again: "Let’s talk! Talk about that Evil God, talk about the destruction of the Demon Realm."
"Talk? Would you allow us to enter the Longevity World to take the Spirit Mechanism and revive our world?"
Demon Lord Cangming asked.
Gu Jinlai surveyed the surrounding environment: "At least, we have a common enemy; don’t you want to eliminate that Evil God and revenge your past wrongs?"
Demon Lord Cangming shook his head: "You simply don’t understand the terror of that life form."
"Terror? How terrifying?"
Gu Jinlai said calmly: "Stronger than the Daoist Ancestor?"
Demon Lord Cangming did not respond.
"Even if it possesses power comparable to the Daoist Ancestor, so what? Even if there is no hope of winning, it’s not a reason for us to not struggle or resist. Just like in mortal realms, how insignificant is an individual compared to a nation? Yet it is precisely because of countless individuals persevering and dedicating themselves, even sacrificing, that the empire can be rebuilt and new days can arise!"
Demon Lord Cangming did not answer directly, but after a long while he spoke with a tone of "ignorance is fearless": "You all have great courage."
"Courage... I’ll take it as you are praising us."
Gu Jinlai said: "Without such courage, how could the Human Clan of the Longevity World have come this far, and how could Gu Jinlai have gone from an ordinary man unable to contend with a Great Demon, to reach today’s accomplishments."
Demon Lord Cangming’s gaze fell on Gu Jinlai.
From being able to call out Gu Jinlai’s name and the identity of the Lord of Lingxiao, it showed that he already had a thorough understanding of Gu Jinlai.
But evidently, this understanding did not include the specifics of his growth timeline, nor did it include the limit of the power he possessed.
At least, from the information he received...
Gu Jinlai is over eighty years old, his estimated combat power is at the same level as Immortal Country Master Zhao Xi.
"In a dozen years, I have crossed the Divinity Transformation, Primordial Spirit, Devas, Saint, Void Immortal, True Immortal, Heavenly Immortal stages of cultivation and entered the Profound Immortal Realm. Give me another dozen years, and there is no reason I cannot step further to become a Great Dao Golden Immortal, Immortal Golden Immortal, or even advance to the Daoist Ancestor at the source of the Great Dao!"
Gu Jinlai had an indescribable confidence in his demeanor: "At that time, would the threat from the Evil God even be considered a threat?"
"Great Dao Golden Immortal, Immortal Golden Immortal... even Daoist Ancestor..."
Demon Lord Cangming looked at Gu Jinlai, his spiritual fluctuations undulating.
However, considering the intelligence about Gu Jinlai he received...
This seemed incredible yet extremely possible.
"Perhaps the destruction of the Demon Realm is irreversible, but at least, I can help you seek revenge."
Demon Lord Cangming did not speak, instead he kept scrutinizing Gu Jinlai.
Maybe the Demon Realm could choose an extreme approach, awaken the Evil God, and destroy the Longevity World.
But once that Evil God awakens, it won’t just destroy the Longevity World; the connected worlds nearby won’t be spared either.
Though the Demon Realm is a dead world, a world without hope, yet...
They ultimately relied on sublimating the Will of All Living Beings and integrating this will with the core of the world, transforming into Demon Spirit form, barely surviving.
