"You say that, so what's the point of playing? Shouldn't we just pack up and wait for death? It's much simpler," Wen Yu said, making perfect sense.
What is heaven? What is a god?
Those who can be resisted, those who can be killed, can only be false gods! False heavens!
Talking about going against the heavens sounds nice, but the heavy killing intent hidden beneath those words makes one shudder.
Is the great sage equal to heaven really that impressive? Didn't he still get slapped down by the Tathagata Buddha for 500 years?
Moreover, can the Tathagata Buddha even stand shoulder to shoulder with the heavens?
Wen Yu believed he didn't possess that kind of style or courage.
"Then you can just go die! If you don't want to die, then live freely! Live comfortably! Don't you realize how contradictory you are?"
"No! I am not contradictory at all!"
Wen Yu responded decisively.
"I'm only here to understand the truth and take a look at the elegance of your former master."
"Let me tell you honestly, if your former master really has any conspiracy or means to force me to confront the sovereign, heh..."
Wen Yu gently shook his neck.
"If it really comes to that, I'll immediately kill you to express my admiration for the sovereign!"
"Heh."
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine chuckled twice.
"That's only because the sovereign's slaughtering knife hasn't struck your neck."
Upon hearing this, both the person and the vine fell silent.
Some things can't be said outside.
But here, the words of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine seemed to be clearer.
How did the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor die?
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine had already made it very clear, so clear that Wen Yu didn't even care to delve into the topic further.
However, this raised more questions!
The sovereign used the method of raising poison insects to turn Earth into his pigsty. Originally, Wen Yu thought the sovereign's goal was to cultivate an ultimate expert!
But after talking with Tang Haofei, Tang Haofei conjectured that the sovereign aimed to enhance his own power by harvesting human magic crystals.
Considering the outcome of the Heaven-Piercing Immortal Emperor, the latter possibility seemed more likely.
Raising pigs, when they get fat, naturally, they will be slaughtered and eaten. But for Wen Yu, this situation might be the worst— in the former case, Wen Yu could still try to fight for a chance to become the ultimate expert favored by the sovereign!
However, in the latter case, it means the stronger he becomes, the faster he dies!
Yet, the threat of the demonic disaster forces everyone to grow stronger— this is a vicious cycle.
The sovereign, using these means, has trapped all humanity in a dead loop, and in this loop, there is only one outcome— death!
Only death can break away from the rules of the game set by the sovereign— this forces Wen Yu to strive, to resist.
And to be enemies with the sovereign...
At least in this moment, Wen Yu suddenly felt a chill.
This is an unsolvable cycle of death; the sovereign has given no profession a glimmer of hope!
Perhaps from the very beginning, the sovereign firmly positioned himself as the final boss, and any creature wanting to survive cannot escape a direct confrontation with the sovereign!
“Do you understand now?”
The spiritual fluctuations of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine transmitted into Wen Yu's mind.
"What am I supposed to understand?"
Wen Yu feigned ignorance and asked.
"Confronting the sovereign is inevitable. You need to understand that pigs can only end up being slaughtered for meat. I will take you to see the entire journey of the Xianxia World fighting against the demonic disaster, and show you the legendary past of my former master. Then, they will dispel any of your wishful thinking and let you know a fact."
"In the hands of the sovereign, your simple desire to survive will be extremely difficult!"
"Yeah, your idea is not wrong. I'm willing to go see."
"But you might have overlooked something; I'm only at level five..."
Hearing Wen Yu's complaint, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine slowly transmitted a spiritual wave back.
