"Do you want to know? If you want to know, go and check. If you can..." The Demon Lord seemed to want to make some kind of promise to Zhang Hao based on his own life experience, but he finally took back his words.

Zhang Hao has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, so how could he give up easily?

"You said, if I can really do it, we don't have to fight to the death."

If the two of them really fought, most of the world would probably be destroyed.

The Demon Lord may not care, but Zhang Hao does. This is a promise engraved in his heart and he must fulfill it.

"You go and check it out." After a brief loss of composure, the Demon Lord returned to normal and directly drove Zhang Hao away.

Standing outside the door, Zhang Hao looked at this villa that looked like an ordinary house, and a long-lost clear emotion surged in his heart.

--absurd.

Yes, he thought it was all ridiculous.

Behind those high and mighty gods, there are their own stories and hardships, and no one is willing to bow their heads first. This fragile world has become the chessboard for their games, and ordinary people have become the chess pieces on the board.

Zhang Hao returned to the underworld and asked directly after meeting Lord Yan: "Do you know the past and present lives of the Demon Lord?"

Yan Jun didn't expect Zhang Hao to suddenly ask this question, and shook his head blankly.

"When I was training in the human world, I never thought about it, checked it, or had the opportunity to check it. When the accident happened, we separated directly, and we didn't even have time to say a word. So I don't know any details about her."

"Check quickly! The Demon Lord is not an ordinary person!" Zhang Hao urged.

"She is no longer a human being now..." Yan Jun lowered his head.

Zhang Hao didn't want to see Yan Jun still talking to himself at this time, so he grabbed his collar and forced him to look at him.

"I'm telling you, when you're with Yan Jun as a human, her identity is not simple. Check her past life! We might find other clues!"

Under Zhang Hao's urging, Yan Jun had to temporarily put down his work and accompany Zhang Hao to the study.

This place is different from the Forbidden Book Library, as all the books here are serious, including the Book of Life and Death.

As Zhang Hao expected, no information about the Demon Lord's past or present life could be found in the Book of Life and Death.

Her real name, her past life identity, and her fate could not be found out. All the information about her now started from when she proclaimed herself as the Demon Lord.

Even his name was changed to "Demon Lord".

She actually fabricated a book of life and death out of thin air!

This is like playing with the entire underworld in the palm of your hand!
"Investigate! We must investigate everything about her life. There must be clues left behind. We must find out!" Zhang Hao said firmly.

Lord Yan remained silent and directly blocked the door, preventing all interference from the outside world.

The collection of books in the study of the underworld is extremely rich. Although it looks like a small room from the outside, it is a different world inside. Even if you walk for two or three hours, you may not be able to reach the end.

Now that they knew nothing about the Demon Lord's background, they could only flip through the books page by page. But this would take an incalculable amount of time, and by the time they found the answer, it would probably be too late.

Suddenly, Zhang Hao thought of a detail.

"Who has an eye between his eyebrows?"

"Erlang Shen, he is in heaven just fine, what happened?" Yan Jun quickly browsed through the book, looking for any possible clues, and only took the time to reply with two sentences.

"No, besides Erlang Shen, are there any other characters with eyes between their eyebrows?"

"That's a lot. Some wild kids sometimes cultivate a third eye. It's hard to generalize."

Zhang Hao told Yan Jun everything he saw in his dream. Yan Jun was stunned for a moment and his eyes suddenly became blurred.

"Maybe... we can look for something else."

Lord Yan knew that the people above him must be hiding something. If he himself couldn't find out, then the answer could only be hidden in one place.

"Forbidden Library!"

The two spoke almost at the same time, speaking in unison.

After confirming the answer, they headed straight for the Forbidden Library without hesitation.

It so happened that the door of the library was open. Zhang Hao and his companions were prepared to spend ten days or half a month in there, so they directly blocked the door to avoid opening and closing it frequently before finding the answer.

Time passed by little by little, and it seemed like several days had passed... Zhang Hao gradually entered a state of trance, forgetting the passage of time. He only thought about searching carefully one book after another until he found the answer he wanted.

Suddenly, Lord Yan exclaimed.

"Come and see! I found her! I know who she is!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hao immediately ran over and saw Yan Jun holding a yellowed scroll in his hand.

The scroll depicts a figure with six hands and six eyes. The man sitting in the center of the scroll has long and narrow eyes on his forehead, face, arms, and throat, exactly the same as what Zhang Hao saw in the Demon Lord’s memory!
"That's it! That's the eye. What on earth is this?"

"Shanman Sect... This is the leader of the Shanman Sect, a great demon who almost destroyed the Emperor of Heaven and brought heavy losses to the heavens, killing many gods... The leader cannot be truly killed, so they joined forces to seal him permanently in the twelfth heaven. His disciples inherited the power he desperately spread before he was sealed, and these disciples also inherited his six eyes..."

Six eyes...

Zhang Hao only saw one eye on the Demon Lord, which means that this terrifying leader who was powerful enough to subvert all gods still had five eyes that had not yet appeared in the world! ?

Both of them realized this and felt a chill in their hearts.

Zhang Hao took the scroll and looked at it carefully.

He pointed at a woman in the scroll and said, "This is her only female disciple. Do you think this person could be the Demon Lord's previous life?"

Lord Yan took a look and actually saw a sense of familiarity in the man's eyes and brows.

"We may be close to the truth. Do you think if we use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Demon Lord, will she confess everything?"

Faced with Yan Jun's question, Zhang Hao shook his head.

"Have you noticed... With her brutal character, if she wants to destroy the world, there are countless ways, but so far, she has never attacked ordinary people. Instead, she has targeted people who practice Taoism and magic... These people who practice Taoism and magic generally have faith, either in their ancestors' masters or in the gods in heaven. Do you think her purpose is to force these so-called protective gods to come out and fight her?"

This is a deeper thought, but there is a more obvious answer before them.

She seemed to have wanted someone in heaven to give her an explanation from the very beginning.

Could it be that this so-called statement is not about the dispute between her and King Yan, but about her beliefs?
As a person with the same faith, perhaps this is really her purpose...

Yan Jun tried to hold back for a long time, but in the end he couldn't let it go. He suddenly threw the scroll down and pulled Zhang Hao out of the library.

It was also the first time that Zhang Hao knew that he could enter and exit freely before the warehouse door was opened.

The scene before his eyes changed rapidly, and Zhang Hao seemed to have arrived at...a paradise on earth.

Completely different from the dark style of the underworld, everything here is bright. It is not like the fairy palace in film and television works with clouds and mist, but is no different from the normal human world.

But Zhang Hao was very clear about where he was at the moment. He was at a height that no mortal could ever reach.

A man appeared out of nowhere and stopped the aggressive King Yan.

"You shouldn't be here. Your sins have not yet been…" "Let me ask you, what crime have I committed? What crime have he committed?!" Lord Yan pointed at Zhang Hao behind him and asked sternly, "Why should a mortal like him bear the consequences of the disaster twelve days later?! You arrogant gods, do you know what he has paid for those poor people?!"

The other party never expected that Yan Jun would bring up this matter so suddenly. For a moment, everyone was stunned and at a loss as to what to do.

When the atmosphere was so tense that it almost froze, the door behind them slowly opened and a deep and long voice came from inside the door.

"come in."

The voice seemed to come from the sky, and even the furious King Yan couldn't help but restrain his anger after hearing it.

"As ordered."

Zhang Hao's intuition told him that the person who was speaking was no ordinary person.

He followed him into the door, and the door behind him closed automatically. At that moment, Zhang Hao felt an unspeakable fear.

Yes, his body was sending out warnings of its own accord, and he felt fear.

To put it bluntly, once the door is closed, one becomes a lamb to be slaughtered, and even the gloomy King Yan is probably not much better.

"kill him."

The voice gave orders to Lord Yama.

And the person who is to be killed has no choice but to do it himself.

Zhang Hao didn't know how to react or what to do, so he could only look at Yan Jun subconsciously.

But Lord Yan shook his head.

"We were so wrong from the beginning, why won't we admit our mistakes?"

"Because we are the Way of Heaven!"

The invisible voice answered the question in a compassionate tone: "If the way of heaven is wrong, then this world will no longer exist."

"What nonsense!" Zhang Hao immediately retorted.

He felt that he might not be able to leave here alive anyway, so he might as well speak freely and say everything he wanted to say.

"The so-called Heavenly Dao is just a few words you casually said? Shouldn't Heavenly Dao be the law created by all living beings in this world? Can you represent all living beings in the world?"

"Zhang Hao!"

Yan Jun patted his shoulder gently, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

But after the fear he felt when he first entered the door, he seemed to have nothing to be afraid of.

"But we can overturn all living things in this world. As long as you die, no one will know what happened here."

The voice's answer was both cruel and irrefutable.

Yes...it's cruel, this is the cruel truth.

After a brief silence, the topic returned to the previous topic of silencing.

"Lord Yan, if you don't take action, then I will do it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Hao fell straight to the ground. At that moment, an indescribable feeling of powerlessness spread from his limbs.

He couldn't support his body, couldn't control his consciousness, and even thought that he would just die. What was even more terrifying was that he didn't know why he had such thoughts...

Is this the way of heaven that dominates everything?
However, many complicated emotions suddenly surged in his unyielding heart.

Anger, sadness, absurdity, unwillingness... these emotions were completely new experiences for him.

He didn't know why he still had such emotions after losing all his emotions, but he knew that he couldn't think too much now!
Must live!
We can’t let the world be destroyed!
Zhang Hao struggled hard and unleashed all his strength!

For a moment, even the house seemed to be shaking.

Yan Jun looked at Zhang Hao in disbelief, finding it hard to imagine that he possessed such powerful strength.

Although I know what method he used, this power is too strong... With his strength, if he fights against King Yan with all his heart, he is not without a chance of winning!

However, his resistance was suppressed in an instant.

The god on the high seat pressed his power back, and all the aura he released at this moment backfired on him. His pain at this moment also came from himself!
"Ahhh!"

"Don't you humans have a saying that goes 'use your own spear to attack your own shield'? If you can withstand your own power and survive under your own power, I will show mercy and erase all your memories, leaving you alive!"

Everything he had was easily counterattacked by the opponent, and Zhang Hao had no power to fight back.

He felt sad and upset...all the emotions that had been sacrificed seemed to have returned.

He felt sad for Han Shan, for Hao Xie, for Fatty, for Zhang Qilin... for everyone he knew.

He was also angry, angry at his own powerlessness.

A tear involuntarily fell from the corner of Zhang Hao's eye. He clenched his fists tightly, realizing that he still had the strength to resist.

If this resistance fails, I am afraid I will really die.

But even if he was going to die... he would never die in this way!

"Uhhhhh!"

Zhang Hao's veins bulged all over his body, his skin was oozing red, and even his black pupils were faintly golden under the influence of some force...

[Warning: The system detects that the host is in danger of life, injecting god-level adrenaline, potential increased by 200%! ]

It turned out to be the system that had disappeared eight hundred years ago!

Due to the surge of adrenaline in his system, Zhang Hao felt an unprecedented powerful force...as if all the restraints on him were completely broken free at this moment.

"Where did your damn system go? Why did it just show up now?"

[Warning…Due to the deviation of the current world line, the system has lost control and the protection mode has been automatically activated. ]

World line? Didn't they mention world line before? Although Zhang Hao had doubts in his heart, he had no time to think about it at this moment.

Zhang Hao's condition recovered quickly, and he regained both emotions and such powerful strength.

The deity on the throne seemed to notice the surge of Zhang Hao's power and quickly retracted his own power.

"I never thought that a mortal like you could possess such a powerful strength."

Zhang Hao was thrown to the ground, gasping for breath, like a fish that had survived a disaster.

"Haha...it seems like you gods also have unexpected things happening to you. How ridiculous."

"If you don't want to die, I can give you a way out. From now on, you will stay in the underworld and serve the Lord of Hell. Never return to the human world again. In this way, you can save your life." (End of this chapter)
