Chapter 1780.2: None of Them Are Anything Good

He’d just been poignant with emotion that, out of consideration for the future of humans on Earth and everyone else, he’d tacitly agreed to wars taking place on the planet. He was considering things from the vantage point of an entire race’s benefit!

Only now did he realize that his vision was far limited compared to those of people like Hongjun and the others. He wouldn’t be able to commit to their course of action, even if he knew that the corpse demon would appear in the future with the power to destroy everything. The death of all of the connate demon gods was likely due to Hongjun’s group as well. Suppressing the corpse demon and crafting a great tomb most likely lay behind Fuxi’s desire to eliminate every one of this powerful and illustrious group.

Despite the newfound knowledge, Lu Yun could find no fault with them. In the past thirty-three loops, they’d all died by his side. One by one they’d fallen, all for him. Hongjun was about to do the same thing again—corralling the corpse demon with his life meant that he would fly apart into the ether as soon as Lu Yun sealed the demon into the battle flag. All traces of his existence would be erased, making it impossible for even the Resurrection death art to revive him.

The dot of retribution he held in his hand was sufficient to destroy everything about him. If they could sacrifice even themselves, then they could naturally sacrifice other living beings around them.

“If we didn’t go about it that way, the Corpse Refiners would become involved, as would the reincarnation guardian and inspector. Even the powerhouses of the chief worlds would make their moves to release the corpse demon, allowing it to ravage this land as it would,” Hongjun continued. “The world of sequence, seed of nothing, and other hidden treasures of this land—including yours—are all objects of their desire.”

He referred to the Tome of Life and Death. While Hongjun didn’t know what the book was, he was certain that many coveted it. Those powerhouses were the reason behind the death of the owner of the Land of Reincarnation.

“And you guys??” Lu Yun set his jaw and resolutely asked his question. “What is your goal? You’re not natives of this land, you’re just as august and lofty as the rest! Why do you sacrifice yourself here?!”

His chest heaved from emotion—it wasn’t that Lu Yun didn’t trust them, but that he felt all of this was hardly worth their sacrifice.

“Do you have friends?” Hongjun asked in return.

Lu Yun blinked; a certain possibility came to mind.

“These were once the worlds of the god of Mount Tai. He cultivated the five paths of hell dao and created the five hells, but didn’t turn the worlds into hell itself.” Hongjun could tell from the confusion in Lu Yun’s eyes that the young man had an inkling of the answer. “The first world of sequence in the chief worlds was one of hell dao sequence—the world of sequence that your seed of nothing was before. The tree god was the first spirit root in the world of hell dao sequence.

“All of us received great favor from the god of Mount Tai and every living thing in the Land of Reincarnation is his bloodline. After his death, the three of us remained here to safeguard his legacy and descendants. We brought our legacies and descendants here too, putting down roots and supporting one another.

“And so we safeguarded each other until his arrival. He broke the world of hell dao sequence and used it as the basis to construct the Land of Reincarnation.” Hongjun murmured to himself, “The laughable thing is that none of us were a match for him. We could only watch as he did what he wanted and couldn’t offer any resistance in response.”

Lu Yun listened silently. He thought of Tianqi—Tianqi wasn’t the god of Mount Tai, but a new, independent being. In the war of immortals a hundred thousand years ago, the mountain god had returned. A part of his lingering obsession had yet to fade away and reformed into the god of Mount Tai.

There were traces of the god to be found in the fourth realm after the new era began. The hells that came later all appeared during that time, proof that the mountain god wasn’t fully dead in the first place.

When the Hadal Hell connected to the great wilderness, the mountain god was nearly reborn at their intersection. However, it seemed highly likely that the reincarnation guardian and inspector had been waiting, ambushing and almost killing him inside Mount Tai. Thus, he became the Tianqi that they now knew.

“So do you understand now?” Hongjun asked meaningfully. “Although we are not native to this land, we are here because the mountain god’s legacies, our legacies, children, and descendants are all here.”

“Yes,” Lu Yun nodded and thought for a moment. “Give me five hundred years. There is no other end for you but death if you go, so give me five hundred years. I can figure out a way to take care of the corpse demon.”

“What, are you unwilling to let me die?” Hongjun shook his head. “I am a vile creature who has committed the most heinous crimes. I have caused countless wars and made innumerable lives suffer and perish. The will of heaven will not suffer my existence if I don’t die.”

Lu Yun shook.

“The will of heaven? Is there truly a will of heaven?” His laugh was a ghastly sound. “If there was, would there be this Land of Reincarnation? If there really is an existence that it does not tolerate, it would be the corpse demon beneath our feet!”

Hongjun had no response to that.

“Five hundred years! I’ll be back with an answer for you after five hundred years!” Lu Yun tossed the star diagram and battle flag into the Tome of Life and Death. Leize had long since left, there was only the Imperial Seal and the demon of immortal dao that lived inside.

Hongjun sighed and waved his hand. “That’s one heck of a plan. Five hundred years from now is also a crucial point for the corpse demon. Once it passes, it will fully be one with corpse dao. Not only will it take my life to seal him away then, but it will also take Pangu and God’s life.”

“I’ll leave this big monkey here to keep you company. He has a hot temper and is easily distracted. If he can settle down, he’ll grow much stronger.” Lu Yun changed the subject and left Mount Buzhou.

Hongjun took a look at Goldenlight before undoing his seal.

……

“Do you need the god of Mount Tai to return?” the demon of immortal dao suddenly asked.

“Nope, he’s nothing good himself,” Lu Yun snorted. “Tianqi is Tianqi. He won’t exist anymore if the mountain god comes back. I’m not about to trade my precious disciple for an unknown mountain god.”

“True, he’s nothing good either,” the demon nodded. “I think master killed him back in the day because he was about to do something that completely violated his conscience.”

“Neither is your master anything good.” Lu Yun ignored the demon as he’d arrived at the intersection of the world of immortals and underworld.
