Chapter 1241 - 812: All People Are Devils
The Sword Qi around Little Junior Uncle surged violently, with the vast Sword Intent seemingly about to tear the heavens apart. He spoke each word like the sound of clashing steel: "What use is it to win if we turn to the Demon Path? Don’t I know how useful its techniques are? Or do you not know? Human nature seeks profit, the heart leans towards the Immortal Dao. Once the Demon Path techniques are set in motion, there is no turning back! This is human nature; you can’t change it back!"
The Sect Leader said coldly, "We have no other choice. Persisting in futile resistance when defeat is certain is the same as conceding. I can be defeated, but the Righteous Path cannot lose."
"Even if we’re condemned in the future, even if it brings disaster to future generations and brings calamity upon the world, even if it leads to a backlash from the Taoist Inheritance, I must change to the end."
"This is my responsibility as the Sect Leader."
"This decision, when presented with no alternatives, must be made by me."
"Changing may lead to the sect’s destruction, but without changing... the world will surely perish."
Step by step, the Sect Leader approached Little Junior Uncle, eyes bright like two suns, sending an oppressive gaze like a tangible force.
Little Junior Uncle looked at him unflinchingly, opposing him fiercely: "Victory achieved by becoming demonic is meaningless; you’re merely accelerating the spread of the demon way."
"Once you take this step, you plunge into eternal damnation, and there’s no return for the world’s beings."
Feeling the other’s Will, sensing the other’s determination, the Sect Leader, though knowing it was impossible to persuade Little Junior Uncle, couldn’t help but feel a twinge of heartache as he had when he suppressed and obliterated one elite disciple after another of the Wanfa Sect.
But the words had reached this point, and he understood that all communication had lost its meaning.
At this moment, only absolute power, only the strongest violence, could determine victory and the outcome.
The Sect Leader: "Everyone, follow my command."
Little Junior Uncle: "Righteous and demonic cannot coexist, disciples follow me..."
The Sect Leader: "Kill!"
Little Junior Uncle: "Exterminate demons, uphold the Dao!"
...
"Little Junior Uncle..." Listening to Yingxin Heaven, Jun Xuanze murmured, "Why did things turn out this way? Clearly, everyone wanted to save the beings..."
Yingxin Heaven said lightly, "To govern the world requires the courage to assume its responsibilities. To uphold this, they are willing to wager their lives, engage in fierce battles with their kin and sectmates, and are even willing to face failure to bear the burden of changing the world."
Jun Xuanze: "But failure is not just their matter; it implicates the entire world."
Yingxin Heaven: "If fear of implicating the world stops us, there’ll never be the courage to change it. Although I harbor many regrets, even if given another choice, I’d still support the rightful use of the Demon Path."
"Because this is the only option left."
"Under the grand trend of the Immortal Dao, we have no choice."
"The Sect Leader and they couldn’t solve the problem, but at least they delayed it, buying us more time."
Seeing the determination in Yingxin Heaven’s eyes, Jun Xuanze was slightly taken aback, saying, "You... you don’t intend to..."
Yingxin Heaven looked at him, saying, "Back then, the demonic flames were overwhelming, and to survive, the Sect Leader and the others initiated the rightful use of the Demon Path."
"Much time has passed now; it should be corrected."
Jun Xuanze laughed bitterly, saying, "Can it really... be corrected?"
Yingxin Heaven said, "If this generation can’t change it, then the next will continue... Righteous and demonic cannot coexist, and even if the world’s beings harbor demonic thoughts, there will always be those with righteous minds."
"Our past understanding of the struggle between righteousness and demon was too superficial."
"The Great War of Righteous and Demonic never ended, and it will never end; it’s an endlessly long battle."
Jun Xuanze murmured, "If you intend to stir trouble, I’m afraid Kunxu will be tumultuous, and who knows how many will be implicated."
Yingxin Heaven said, "This is the choice I make for the world; regardless of the result, I will persist to the end."
...
Watching the dialogue in the writings, Fu Ji sighed, "Jun Xuanze in this dream is quite decisive; in reality, he hesitates and is indecisive."
Zhan Xian suddenly said, "He who bears the nation’s disgrace is called a sovereign body, while he who bears the nation’s misfortune is called a ruler of the world."
Zhang Yu was slightly taken aback, then said, "I still remember this? As expected of me, as expected of my incarnation."
Zhan Xian said, "To change the world, one must have the courage and recklessness to do so. Zhang Yu, as long as you want to change the world, you will inevitably encounter this problem one day."
As the writings and Jun Xuanze’s body both disappeared, a phantom appeared before Zhang Yu, none other than Jun Xuanze’s True Spirit.
He looked at the Grotto Heaven before him, gazed at Zhang Yu, and said, "Are you the one chosen by Senior Brother as the successor?"
"How is he now?"
Zhang Yu briefly recounted the changes with Yingxin Heaven and the Lower Realm.
Listening to Zhang Yu’s account, Jun Xuanze sighed, "Our generation, after all, failed."
"The future is in your hands now."
"I’m just a useless old thing; in the end, I’ll support you a bit further."
With that, Jun Xuanze’s True Spirit shattered with a boom, turning into flames that pierced the space before them, transforming into a bridge traversing the void, connecting Zhang Yu’s Grotto Heaven with a mysterious place across.
At the same time, Zhang Yu’s [Immortal Descendant] unexpectedly advanced to Level 4.
He looked at the newly manifested bridge before him, an insight emerging in his heart: "Level 4 [Immortal Descendant] can activate the Grotto Heaven Bridge to traverse the void, reaching predetermined locations..."
If explained using Zhang Yu’s usual terms, it’s that a Level 4 [Immortal Descendant] can activate fixed teleportation gates, transporting from within the Grotto Heaven to certain predetermined places.
And just as Zhang Yu’s [Immortal Descendant] upgraded and Jun Xuanze’s True Spirit transformed into a long bridge connecting the void, changes also occurred within the Maze Realm.
Amidst thunderous roars, the roads between the office area and the factory area were completely opened.
Witnessing this scene, Ling Chiyue was slightly surprised, looking at Ying Aikun, who was casting, and praised, "Elder Ying is indeed an Immortal Descendant; to break the Maze Realm’s barrier so quickly."
Ying Aikun was slightly taken aback, thinking, "I barely exerted any effort, and it broke? Was it sensing my lineage?
Did the old guy have a moment of clarity before dying, knowing to leave good things for his own people?"
Of course, regardless, Ying Aikun would never deny others’ praise or downplay his achievements.
He nodded slightly and said calmly, "Just some small tricks, let’s continue inside to see what else the old guy left behind."
