I Might Be A Fake Cultivator Chapter 1245

Chapter 1245 - The Secret of the Sinister Devil

“I calculated everything. I also know that you’re collecting the Dark Beads so that you can obtain the Sky Sealing Dark King’s inheritance…”

The black figure seemed to be smiling as he spoke in a warm, gentle voice.

Why did he “seem to be” smiling?

That was because An Lin could only see a black, humanoid silhouette. He was unable to see the Night Monarch’s features.

He did possess a pair of rather beautiful eyes, which appeared to be a pair of sapphires embedded onto his black, murky body. Not only were they not horrifying or unsettling to look at, but they also struck the onlookers with a sense of serenity and entrancement.

Little Xie pouted with an aggrieved expression as she glanced at the Night Monarch.

An Lin had obtained the Dark Bead, so his mission was completed, but her prey had been ripped out of her hands! And this was very likely to be the most delectable prey this entire Abyss of Evil had to offer!

An Lin looked down at Dong Yang, who appeared to be on the brink of death, and he spoke with feigned nonchalance, “May I ask what you’re planning to do with this research subject?”

Experimenting with sinister devils sounded a little… well, sinister, no matter how you looked at it…

In An Lin’s heart, he was already seeing the Night Monarch as a huge antagonist who was planning something unspeakably insidious…

He wasn’t really expecting the Night Monarch to give him a reply either.

However, to his surprise, the Night Monarch gave him a reply without any fuss. “The experiment I’m conducting concerns a huge secret. There’s no harm in telling you… however. For starters, do you know how the sinister devils of the Abyss of Evil came to be?”

An Lin’s brows furrowed slightly.

He hadn’t actually ever planned on thinking too deeply about something like this.

However, the story of Ji Yanling and Wang Lu had already engraved itself into his mind.

He knew very well how Wang Lu had fallen to become a sinister devil.

“All sinister devils were once humans, right?” An Lin asked.

An expression of surprise appeared on the Night Monarch’s face. “You know about that?”

He was trying to build some suspense, but An Lin had foiled his plans to do so…

An Lin nodded lightly. “I’m somewhat aware of that…”

The Night Monarch continued in a mysterious voice, “Then do you know how humans first became sinister devils?”

An Lin thought about this carefully. Sinister devils did not have a long history. Hence, the event that created the first sinister devils should be something significant and recent.

“Could it be… something triggered by the Purple Star incident?” An Lin speculated.

Night Monarch: “… How do you know about that?!”

How was he supposed to build any suspense like this?!

“I’m somewhat aware,” An Lin repeated with a modest expression.

His expression remained calm, but waves of shock were surging through his heart.

The fact that sinister devils were related to the Purple Star incident was no insignificant matter. After all, the Purple Star Civilization had stabbed a hole into the sky!

The Night Monarch abandoned any efforts to try and build suspense. “The Purple Star Civilization once suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao, and the entire civilization was instantly destroyed. However, things went much deeper than that.

“The consequences of the backlash from the Heavenly Dao aren’t something that would draw to a conclusion after the fall of the Purple Star Civilization. The sinister devils are actually a residual product of those consequences.

“Sinister devils were indeed transformed from humans. You could say that their origins lie in the punishment delivered by the Heavenly Dao, but you could also say that they were the manifestation of the resentment of the countless living beings that had perished in the aftermath of the Purple Star incident.

“They manifested themselves onto humans from the Kingdom of the Nine States and the Buddhist Kingdom through a very unique way before making humans fall into depravity. No one could stand up to the contamination of the boundless negative emotions, and all of them became sinister devils, upon which the condition slowly spread…”

“This power is much more terrifying than plagues or curse techniques. It is almost as if it is trying to reduce the entire human race into a race of sinister devils!”

The Night Monarch spoke in an indifferent voice, but the darkness behind him was surging violently.

An Lin was a little perplexed. “Why have I never heard of something like this?”

Such a massive event should have extensive historical records and be known to the general public.

The Night Monarch spoke in a slow voice, “You don’t know how massive a price we had to pay in order to save the human race from that cataclysmic disaster. During that period of time, over five billion humans were transformed into sinister devils…”

An Lin was astonished by this number.

That was the equivalent of an entire state’s population!

“Nuwa, the Daoist Trinity, and Daolord Lu Ya combined with sixteen Dao Integration Stage super mighty figures unleashed an almighty spell formation to transfer all of the sinister devils out of the Tai Chu Continent. They isolated the contamination source in order to put an end to this monumental disaster.

“For safety purposes, we also unleashed a divine technique to wipe away everyone’s memories regarding the sinister devils. That’s right, the only way to put an end to this disaster was to wipe away everyone’s memories! The more they forgot, the smaller the aftermath of this event.”

An Lin was enlightened upon hearing this.

No wonder he had no idea about a historic event like this. He had known nothing about the sinister devils aside from the fact that they were extremely terrifying demonic creatures…

It was because everyone had been struck by an amnesia technique!

A thought then suddenly occurred to An Lin. “If the sinister devils have all been transferred away, then the sinister devils of the Abyss of Evil…”

The Night Monarch looked into An Lin’s eyes. “They’re here because I want to save them…”

An Lin faltered upon hearing this, and he could see the sincerity and determination in the Night Monarch’s eyes.

“Over five billion people… All of them were innocent, but they’d been forced out of their homeland and could only be tormented by boundless negative emotions for all of eternity without any way to relieve their sufferings…

“I want to transform them back into humans! I strove for a long time before receiving an agreement from the Gods of Creation to allow me to set up a sinister devil research facility within the Abyss of Evil.

“You should know that the sinister devils from the Abyss of Evil have never escaped to harm people outside of the abyss. That is because I’ve been governing their activities this entire time.”

An Lin nodded. That was indeed the case.

They had initially thought that it was because sinister devils were afraid of light, but high-level sinister devils were completely immune to the effects of sunlight.

“Look at Dong Yang. Look at how much he resembles a human!” The Night Monarch pointed down at Dong Yang.

Dong Yang lay with a pair of glazed eyes and a body riddled with wounds as he muttered to himself, “Experience despair… Experience horror… You will all perish to horror and despair…”

Night Monarch: “…”

An Lin nodded to try and save some face for the Night Monarch. “Aside from the fact that he’s speaking a little incoherently, he really is no different from humans. And he’s only speaking incoherently because we beat him silly.”

A smile appeared on the Night Monarch’s face. “As their cultivation bases progress, they will become more and more like humans. They’ll be capable of cultivation, of speech, of experiencing emotions. They will no longer be insane, unruly, chaotic…

“Humans can turn into sinister devils, but sinister devils can also turn into humans! I’ve been doing this one thing for the past ten thousand years. Through experimenting with Dong Yang, I’ve already managed to find many ways to alleviate their negative emotions. This is not just a temporary cure or a spell technique to seal away their negative emotions. I’m changing them from the inside so that they can recover their human emotions!”

The Night Monarch squatted down and caressed Dong Yang’s face as he spoke in a gentle voice, “There is only one step left. Just one final step…”

This was a slightly touching scene.

“There’s one problem here,” An Lin suddenly said.

“What problem?” The Night Monarch blinked with incomprehension.

An Lin pointed at himself. “This information must be very important, so why did you decide to disclose so much of it to me?”
