Versatile Mage: Summon eight demons at the beginning

Chapter 5 Devil Teacher
……

"But the respect you mentioned is just an illusory promise." said the Holy Lord.

"So?" Lu Cheng shrugged.

"Holy Lord, the so-called respect is mutual. If you respect me, then I will naturally respect you."

"I am not a saint who hates evil. You know this very well. Otherwise, I would not agree to release dangerous demons like you just to gain the power of the demons."

"Besides, restraining demons is not something that can be accomplished with just a few words. You can pay in installments, or even give me incomplete means so that I have to rely on you to restrain those demons."

"As long as I need you, I have to respect you."

"It's not difficult for you to do this, right?"

"..."

The Holy Lord narrowed his eyes slightly.

It’s such a strange feeling, why does this guy look so much like a devil that tempts humans?

No! He is the devil!
"You want more than that, right?" said the Holy Lord.

"Of course." Lu Cheng admitted.

"I need your wisdom, great demon wizard."

The Holy Lord is not only a demon, but also a powerful wizard!

He possesses countless powerful magics!
Although it has not been shown too much in the plot, that is because there is no need. Compared with the power of the Holy Lord himself, he has no need to use magic that requires preparation before it can be activated.

In battle, it is natural to use the simplest and most direct means. A wave of the hand can produce explosive flames, as well as various divine powers. The Holy Lord naturally does not need to use those things.

But he is interested!

"You want to learn magic from me?" the Holy Lord asked doubtfully.

"Compared to the power of demons, those magics are nothing."

"Then you were defeated again and again by the magic that you called insignificant." Lu Cheng complained.

The Holy Lord's face darkened, "That was an accident!"

"You may know a lot about my past, but judging from your attitude, you don't know how powerful I was originally!"

"If I hadn't been sealed into hell by those immortal gods, my wisdom and strength would have been worn away by those endless years. Those humans! Including the Saints who sealed me, they couldn't be my opponents!"

"I believe this." Lu Cheng nodded.

In the world view of Jackie Chan Adventures, eight demons have ruled the world for thousands of years, and the only ones who can defeat them head-on are the Eight Immortals.

As for how powerful the Holy Lord is, the ending is very clear. The demon dragon that has obtained all the demonic energy can easily launch the end of the world.

However, after the Holy Lord regained all his power, he easily staged a father-beat-son showdown.

The powers of demons are very buggy. If humans were not brainless most of the time, it would be impossible for them to defeat demons.

Even the so-called encyclopedia of spells are all magics once used by the eight demons.

However, after experiencing the wear and tear of hell, the other eight demons, except for the Holy Lord, not only forgot those things, but even their wisdom almost disappeared, and they basically had no brains left.

"So, are you willing to cooperate with me?" Lu Cheng asked.

"The great demon wizard?"

"..."

The Holy Lord fell silent.

He didn't know how much this human knew about him, and besides, this guy had a good brain, while his brothers and sisters had lost too much wisdom over the years and most of the time had no brains. If he refused to cooperate, this guy would most likely find a way to get other demons to do something with him.

Demons are selfish!
If this guy gives enough temptations, other demons will betray...

"I promise to cooperate with you." The Holy Lord raised his head.

Rather than waiting for other demons to betray him, it is better to strike first!
He couldn't do anything to this human being, so he had no choice but to fight for sufficient dignity and freedom.

At least he has no other choice now.

"Very good." Lu Cheng stood up, walked solemnly to the Holy Lord, and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, I'm Lu Cheng, sincere Cheng. From today on, we are friends."

The Holy Lord also stood up, "If you want to gain my wisdom, then you should call me teacher."

"No problem, my respected devil teacher." Lu Cheng said with a smile.

"So, happy working together?"

The Holy Lord paused, then reached out and held Lu Cheng's right hand. "Happy cooperation, my lovely disciple."

The descendant of the immortal god voluntarily became his apprentice!
So interesting! This time the descendants of the immortal gods are so interesting!

……

"So, back to my original question, the balance of yin and yang. Now I am yang, but what if one day I become yin?" Lu Cheng asked.

"If this were my original world, you would be abandoned by the immortal gods and become a member of the devil," said the Holy Lord.

"Then, a new Yang will be born, and this new Yang will correspond to the Yin, including you."

"But this world is different. The power of the Eight Immortals does not exist here, and there is no law of yin and yang balance here. If you become the yin part, then the yin and yang balance contract we made before will automatically become invalid."

"You can no longer gain power from demons."

"Zhu Lan's plan is to lead you into darkness and become a member of the devil. In this way, except for me, they will all gain true freedom in this world!"

The token from God in Lu Cheng's hand is only useful to him!

Even if this guy falls to the side of the devil and the contract is broken, Lu Cheng still has the ability to expel him back to hell!
But other demons do not have corresponding tokens of gods. In this world without the Eight Immortals, they are invincible!

So he was reluctant to accept this plan at first!

Demons are selfish!
And he is the inevitable victim of this plan!

"Is it more than that?" Lu Cheng asked doubtfully.

"Just because of this, they were so worried at that time?"

He saw clearly that when Zhu Lan and the others were discussing the plan, the other demons all showed obvious fear!
The Holy Lord picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Of course, this plan has a huge risk."

"Your fall, and the demon's freedom, will most likely lead to the return of the immortal gods to the human world."

After the demon was sealed, the power of Yin declined. In order to avoid the birth of new, more powerful demons, the Eight Immortals chose to leave the human world and went to an unknown place.

However, if all the demons returned to the human world and regained their former wisdom and power, the Eight Immortals would most likely reappear and fill Qi Yang's vacancy.

"Well... since you know the principle of yin and yang balance, why do you insist on being on the yin side? If you stand on the yang side, maybe you can break free from the shackles of hell?" Lu Cheng asked doubtfully.

The Holy Lord looked at him like a fool and asked, "Why do you think a demon is called a demon?"

"The devil is Yin itself, and the Eight Immortals are Yang itself. This is our essence and it is impossible to change."

"As for the outcome, your short life span is no more than a hundred years, and you are destined to die. Why do you still want to live?"

Lu Cheng nodded, "What about me?"

"Didn't you say that I am a descendant of the immortal gods? Then how can I become Yin?"

"Because you are human." said the Holy Lord.

"The power of the Undead Gods will only guide you towards them, but it is not mandatory. You can choose to give up, or even choose the opposite path."

"Then what's the use of me, the descendant of the immortal god?" Lu Cheng asked puzzledly.

"Except for being special against demons, it is of no use in the human world..." said the Holy Lord.

Lu Cheng's eyes twitched slightly, "It's useless at all?"

The Holy Lord paused, "It's not completely useless."

"After all, gods love tests, so you will experience more suffering and trials than ordinary people. If you successfully pass the test, you will gain the power of the immortal gods. Of course, you can only use it to fight against demons."

"In the human world, you will always be just an ordinary person. Once you think of using divine power for your own benefit, divine power will leave you, and righteous magic will no longer protect you."

"In your human terms, the descendants of the immortal gods are those who possess great power but always think of the glorious and righteous. They are true saints."

"..."

"Sucker?" Lu Cheng looked strange.

He thought he was so awesome, but turns out he was just a sucker?

The Holy Lord nodded, "I think so too, but those true saints don't care whether they are being taken advantage of or not."

"Even if they are betrayed and abandoned by the humans they trust and protect, they will still choose to protect humans."

"A bunch of paranoid lunatics."

"So I said, you don't look like the descendant of the immortal god."

"You're smarter than them."

"..."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."
