Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

“The stars are burning...”

The teenager held his breath and looked up.

But you see nothing but a dark heavenly dome, and you do not see half a star.

This is a world without stars.

But the teenager still thinks there are hundreds of millions of stars gleaming in the dreams of the devil weaving - a world of federation, empire and alliance warfare.

Those stars were endlessly brilliant and deeply engraved in the young man's soul, causing him to see the dark dome above his head and feel suffocated.

“The devil… why fight?” Gus muttered.

“And why do mortals fight? ”

Lu shrugged, “Love hatred, interest entanglement, survival and destruction, that's all there is to it, after all, what's the difference between the gods and demons in your eyes, that is, mortals, human beings and gods, gods and demons in higher dimensions? ”

Gus doesn't understand.

He can only ask more specifically: "So you have an affair with the Fist God? ”

“I have no direct vendetta with the champion, except that in the Great Wars, the champion stood by my mentor, and I stood opposite him, and we had to live forever. ”

Though it is said to be "immortal", when referring to his mentor, Lu Du's ugly face still revealed a smile.

“Your mentor? ”

Gus was surprised.

He never thought that demons had mentors.

The devil's mentor, what should it look like, a blue-faced fang, a giant devil with teeth and claws?

Gus asked carefully: "Is your mentor… a bad guy? ”

“No, my mentor, Li Yao, is a wonderful man of Tianzi No. 1. I have never seen him so full of courage, blood and justice. He was centuries old and full of red hearts, never forgetting his mind, pure and clear. ”

Mentioning the name "Li Yao”, Lu Qingdu's smile is more intense, even with a hint of drowning, “I have learned from the myriad strong and unparalleled presence in the sea of stars, even devoured the power of many of the most powerful, but the only mentor who can be recognized, respected and loved by me, will always be Li Yao alone, I love my master, there is no question. ”

“ …… ”

Gus doesn't understand, "Well, if you love your mentor so much, why are you fighting him and the champion?" ”

Gus wanted to say, "Did you get expelled because you were naturally evil and your mind wanted to fall into the devil?" But he didn't dare to be so aggressive in front of the devil.

Moreover, seeing Lu Qingdust so sincerely love Li Yao, it doesn't seem like “depravity” or “betrayal” can be explained.

“Because 99% of the problems in this universe cannot be solved by ‘bloodthirsty', ‘courage' or ‘justice' alone, the faster we die in a vast, crisis-ridden universe, the more bloodthirsty, courageous and righteous we adhere to, so the more glorious my dear mentor Li Yao is, the more dragging me and his beloved Federation and even the entire civilization into the dead - is that hard to understand? ”

Lu Xiangdu thought about it and explained with a gesture, “For example, you are a child of six or seven years old, living in a village surrounded by a venomous snake, one day you encounter a venomous snake on the road, you have a sense of justice in your heart, you muster a hundred times more courage, wave a branch of tree and rush up, you actually beat the venomous snake to death, but you are not harmed, what do you think is the reason? ”

Gus stunned, "A child of six or seven years of age, unless he is a gifted boxing genius, can hardly kill a venomous snake, let alone a twig, or my luck is particularly good, or this venomous snake is already dead, at least just hibernating and awake, half-dead. ”

“Yes, a 6-7 year-old can kill a viper, either by luck, or the snake is already dying, and for whatever reason, it has nothing to do with his warmth, courage and sense of justice. ”

Lu said, “But if you kill a snake, you mistakenly think that the reason for victory is blood, courage and justice, and even that if you have blood, courage and justice, you can kill more snakes.

“Then you pick this snake's body with pride, go back to the village, show it to your little buddies, and call on all your little buddies to summon their blood, courage, and justice, and go with you to the mountains to fight the snake and clear the way out of the mountain - do you think your behavior, ‘justice’ or 'evil’, is it 'god’ or 'demon’? ”

Gus was right.

“Or, ‘The Devil of Justice’? ”

Lu Xiangdu smiled and said the answer, “My mentor Li Yao, is such a ‘righteous demon', and even more terrible, he is a very lucky 'righteous demon’.

“Again, in general, even if you can incite two or three little buddies to fight snakes with you in the mountains, very soon you will encounter more poisonous, more fierce snakes, bite you or two or three little buddies, then all the losses, that is, you two or three kids, more kids staying in the village honestly, will save their lives.

“But your luck is so good that you encounter two, three, and four half-dead snakes, all easily killed by you.

“Even if a snake bites you because of your bad luck, it's a non-toxic cauliflower snake.

“Even, because you have a rare physique, the vast majority of snake venoms are ineffective against you, or when the snake venom is about to erupt, you accidentally hit it and ate some kind of neutralizing toxin herb, but you accidentally absorb the power of the snake venom.

“Now that you're more powerful, you and your little buddies are brilliantly carrying dozens of dead snakes back to the village to show off your results - now, let alone your children, even all grown-ups believe that with ‘warm blood, courage and justice', you can be inviolable, killing a blood path out of thousands of snakes, even if bitten by them, and with justice, toxins can escalate you and have more power.

“Well, now the whole village is inspired by you, even tearing the village apart, turning everything into a weapon, preparing to wreck the cauldron, and fighting hundreds of millions of poisonous snakes in the mountains outside, Gus, what do you think the end of this village will be? ”

“This…”

Gus was silent for a long time and sighed, "We can't be so lucky all the time. If we walk too many mountains, we'll be damned, and we'll meet more deadly snakes. In the end, the whole village will die. ”
