Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

The origin of heaven and earth is used to create the world, while endless resentment is used to distort the world.

Normally, after the world was born, the world was filled with pure, innate spiritual energy. This had no effect on righteous cultivators; in fact, it could even accelerate their cultivation.

After all, the cultivation of righteous cultivators primarily involves gathering innate spiritual energy. Therefore, the more innate spiritual energy there is, and the purer it is, the greater the benefit to them.

But for demonic cultivators, it's a different story.

Their cultivation primarily involves gathering harmful energies such as malevolent and impure energy. Therefore, the more innate spiritual energy they possess, the more unfavorable the environment becomes for them.

In this situation, to create a suitable environment for their cultivation, it is necessary to transform the newly born world.

The effect of endless resentment is manifested here: when resentment merges with the origin of heaven and earth, the entire world will be distorted.

The resulting primordial energy was no longer pure, innate spiritual energy, but demonic energy capable of corroding all things. The spiritual veins that were nurtured were no longer spiritual veins, but demonic veins.

Resentment, originating from the hatred of all living beings, is the most evil force in the world, bar none. Even the Way of Heaven is affected by resentment.

Therefore, the world whose origin is polluted by resentment is inherently harmful and is the realm of demons.

The primordial energy generated within this realm is demonic energy, the source of a series of harmful substances such as malevolent energy, foul energy, and turbid energy; it is the most evil of all.

Demonic energy can erode life force, and righteous cultivators cannot absorb it at all; they can only try to eradicate it. Only demonic cultivators, through the secret method passed down from the Chaos Demon God, can refine demonic energy.

Even so, it doesn't come without a price. Demonic energy can distort the mind, which is why many demonic cultivators are driven to madness.

Regardless of what they looked like before they started cultivating, after they started cultivating, their minds would be affected to some extent due to the constant absorption of demonic energy, becoming increasingly distorted and their actions tending towards madness.

This is also why the demonic path is disliked. After all, it is a supreme path on par with the immortal path. Logically speaking, even if the demonic path is not popular, it should not have fallen to the point where everyone hates it.

The reason for this is all related to this. Those who cultivate the demonic path become increasingly insane as they progress, eventually turning themselves into madmen. There are no normal people among the higher-ups in the entire demonic path; who wouldn't be afraid of that?
It's only natural that they're universally condemned.

From this perspective, the demonic path shouldn't exist. What's the point of a cultivation system that turns perfectly normal people into madmen, no matter how powerful? The disadvantages outweigh the advantages!
Ao Bing thought this way, Dao Zu thought this way, or rather, all the powerful figures of the Xuanmen sect thought this way.

But their thinking is useless, because the Heavenly Dao doesn't think that way. In the Heavenly Dao's view, the existence of the Demonic Path is extremely valuable, with the benefits far outweighing the drawbacks.

It's still a matter of stance. The stances of the Immortal Path and the Heavenly Path are not the same, so their perspectives on the issue are different, and the answers they get are naturally different as well.

There are two reasons why Heaven supports the Demonic Path. First, the existence of the Demonic Path can reduce the evil energy in the world and play a role in maintaining the primordial environment.

Secondly, the demonic path turns a perfectly good person into a madman, which seems like a big problem to Ao Bing and others, but to the Heavenly Dao, it's not a problem at all, and is even a good thing.

There are too many cultivators in the world, and the Heavenly Dao has long wanted to eliminate a large number of them. However, the Heavenly Dao is impartial and would not attack cultivators without a reason.

In this situation, the demonic path, capable of turning normal people into madmen, becomes very useful. Madmen, huh? Indiscriminately slaughtering cultivators, huh?

This is excellent; it can become a sharp blade in the hands of Heaven, helping Him to eliminate cultivators.

The demonic path can both maintain the environment of the primordial world and help eliminate cultivators. In the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, it is extremely useful and therefore cannot be destroyed.

This is precisely why the Xuanmen (mystical sect) has been unable to eradicate the demonic path for so long. But the existence of the demonic path is truly disgusting. Putting aside everything else, the fact that it can turn normal people into madmen is hard to accept.

In addition, the idea that demonic cultivation, in its final stage, will result in becoming a vessel for a chaotic demon god is also difficult for people to accept.

Or rather, this is the most important point. The demonic path can exist, but only if it is controlled by the Heavenly Dao, and not reduced to a tool of the chaotic demon gods.

The method Ao Bing came up with to improve his luck was related to this.

Without eradicating the demonic path, he wanted to solve both problems simultaneously: keeping ordinary people away from the demonic path while bringing it back under the control of the Heavenly Dao.

"The best way to solve these two problems is to destroy the demonic path. However, the demonic path cannot be destroyed. In that case, we have to find another way."

Before the origin of the demon realm, Ao Bing reached out and grabbed a large ball of demonic energy. Then, he used his creation magic to prepare to create living beings based on this demonic energy.

Creatures created from demonic energy are naturally demons. Ao Bing's solution was to replace demonic cultivators with demons.

From now on, only demons will be allowed to cultivate the demonic path. Since outsiders cannot cultivate the demonic path, they naturally don't need to worry about their minds being warped by it and turning them into madmen.

At the same time, because the Demon Realm is under the supervision of the Heavenly Dao, the demons born from the Demon Realm are recorded by the Heavenly Dao from birth.

Since everything is recorded in the Heavenly Dao's records, there's no need to worry about the Demonic Path escaping its control. If the Heavenly Dao can even allow the Demonic Path to break free of its control, then it might as well abdicate and let Ao Bing take over.

In addition, the demons created by Ao Bing are quite special. They have no physical form and are purely spiritual life forms, existing as a thought or a idea.

Since there is no physical form, there is naturally no distinction between male and female. Without a distinction between male and female, how does one reproduce? The answer is through division.

The demons created by Ao Bing can absorb demonic energy to become stronger, but there is a limit to how they can grow stronger in this way. At most, they can only cultivate to the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation realm. If they become stronger, they will split into two.

In addition, when a powerful demon dies, its scattered thoughts will split into a large number of weaker demons.

The powerful demon race!
There are also strong individuals among the demon race. The so-called second realm is the limit, which refers to becoming stronger by absorbing demonic energy. The second realm is the limit.

Besides these, the demon race has other methods of cultivation. For example, they can sense the evil thoughts in a cultivator's heart, and then, following an unseen connection, suddenly appear in that cultivator's heart, transform into a demon, devour them, and take their place.

He transformed into a demon!

The demon race's cultivation method involves seizing the fruits of others' cultivation and making them their own resources. The process of seizing the fruits of others' cultivation is called "other-transformation."

He transforms into all things, he transforms into freedom!
The more Dao Fruits are converted, the stronger the demon race becomes, and naturally, powerful demon races will be born.

It should be understood that while many things in this world may be lacking, there will never be a shortage of those with malicious intentions. They are the targets of the demon race.

First, one senses evil thoughts, then these thoughts transform into inner demons that relentlessly pursue and replace them.

This is also one of Ao Bing's methods of purifying cultivators. There is good and evil in the world, and this is unavoidable.

According to Ao Bing, rather than inciting conflict between good and evil, it would be better to use evil to control evil and evil to fight evil.

There are many cultivators harboring evil intentions, and not all of them are necessarily harmful. However, if someone's evil intentions are strong enough to incite the demon race, they must be extremely wicked, and keeping them alive would be a great calamity. In that case, it would be better to use the Heavenly Demons to eliminate them. This way, the bad apples in the cultivator community would be removed, it would align with the Heavenly Dao's principle of reducing the number of cultivators, and it would leave no room for argument.

At the same time, once the demons have grown strong enough, they can organize a force to attack the demon realm. This will weaken the demons, allow them to accumulate merit, and allow them to obtain spiritual crystals.

As the saying goes, things will turn into their opposites when they reach their extremes. Although demonic energy is harmful, after being absorbed by the demon race, it will become pure spiritual power, which is the so-called spiritual crystallization, or the relic of the celestial demon.

In short, this highly condensed product of spiritual power can strengthen the soul of a cultivator after refining it.

This is what it means to kill several birds with one stone. Simply creating a demon race solved countless problems and also opened up new sources of knowledge.

As for the issue of demonic cultivation ultimately leading to becoming a vessel for chaotic demon gods, that issue has also been resolved.

The demon race follows the path of transformation, and is most adept at plundering the fruits of others' cultivation. Let the Chaos Demon God try possessing someone and see who ultimately takes whose fruits of cultivation.

Besides that, it is also the most important.

Because demons are born under the supervision of the Heavenly Dao, all powerful demons, especially those who are capable of becoming vessels for the Chaos Demon God and are qualified to be possessed by it, are constantly under the supervision of the Heavenly Dao.

In this situation, let alone the demon race's powerful beings having the power to resist, even if they didn't, and were willingly offered to the Chaos Demon God, the Chaos Demon God wouldn't dare to seize their bodies, fearing that they might inadvertently fall into the trap of the Heavenly Dao and be devoured by it.

"The demon race, he has transformed into the demon race!"

"These are demons who belong entirely to the Heavenly Dao, and are subject to its supervision from birth. This also means that they are protected by the Heavenly Dao from birth, and no one can destroy them."

“Even the demon realm where they reside cannot be taken by outsiders.”

"The Demon Realm is their birthplace and their base of operations. It will always belong to them, and no one can take it away."

"Whoever dares to seize the Demon Realm, whoever dares to destroy them, is going against the Heavenly Dao and will face dire consequences."

Looking at the demon being nurtured in his hand, Ao Bing sneered. So you're secretly dividing up the demon realm, huh? Well then, don't blame me for flipping the table and smashing the cake, leaving no one with a piece.

He would rather destroy what he cannot have than let an outsider have it.

Now that the Demon Race has appeared, Heaven, in order to support them, will certainly not allow outsiders to seize their Demon Realm and cut off their path of development.

Therefore, their previous agreement is naturally invalid. The premise for dividing the spoils of the Demon Realm was that the Demon Realm was in their hands. But now that the Demon Realm has nothing to do with them, what's the point of them dividing it up?

"not enough!"

"That's not enough. We need to continue to increase the Demon Realm's bargaining power to prevent anyone from resorting to desperate measures and destroying the Demon Realm."

After thinking it over, Ao Bing felt that the Demon Realm still needed strengthening. After all, he wasn't the only one with this "if I can't have it, I'll destroy it" mentality.

To prevent someone from destroying the Demon Realm in a fit of anger, Ao Bing needs to strengthen it to increase its importance.

The more important the demon realm is, the greater the cost of its destruction, and the less people dare to act.

Thinking this through, Ao Bing suddenly had an idea. If you were to ask what the most important duty of the Demon Realm is, isn't it obvious? To devour resentment and strengthen itself!

While some secretly contributed to the birth of the Demon Realm, the greater reason was the chaos of the Endless World, which gave rise to endless resentment, thus providing the conditions for its creation.

In other words, the birth of the demon realm is based on a large amount of resentment.

Resentment is a great scourge in the primordial world. If there is enough resentment, it will give birth to all kinds of powerful ferocious beasts, which will cause great destruction to the world.

It can be said that resentment is the greatest destabilizing factor in the world. Even after the Chaos God died, he was still able to stir up trouble, largely because he utilized resentment.

The Chaos God merged his remaining power and resentment, which gave rise to the endless ferocious beasts in the primordial world.

The harm caused by ferocious beasts has shaken the very foundation of the primordial world on several occasions, which gives us a glimpse into this.

In this situation, how to reduce resentment and decrease the birth of ferocious beasts became the primary problem facing the gods of the primordial world.

But clearly, achieving this is incredibly difficult, even more so than creating a sage. Simply achieving universal harmony, where everyone is like a dragon, would eliminate all resentment in the world.

But this is easier said than done; it's not just difficult, it's utterly impossible. Even saints have desires, let alone ordinary people.

The idea that everyone can be like a dragon, and that everyone is wholeheartedly devoted to the public good, exists only in ideals and can never become a reality.

Therefore, it is impossible to prevent resentment from arising in the first place. What the gods of the primordial world could do was to refine resentment after it was born.

If you can't solve the root cause of resentment, then you can only solve as much resentment as you generate.

Many highly skilled individuals have tried this, but the efficiency is, to say the least, negligible.

Now, looking at the Demon Realm before him, Ao Bing suddenly had an idea.

The demon realm absorbs resentment to create demonic energy. When this demonic energy is highly condensed, it can give birth to the demon race. The demon race is born with spiritual crystals, which cultivators can obtain to strengthen their divine souls.

When cultivators become stronger, they affect the stability of heaven and earth, which in turn generates more resentment.

The more resentment there is, the stronger the demon realm will become, and thus give birth to even more demons. With so many demons, cultivators will need to organize forces to attack them, to prevent a demonic outbreak.

Tsk tsk, this has become a positive cycle, with both becoming stronger and stronger in the cycle.

"The Demon Realm can resolve the problem of resentment. In fact, it can be said that the Demon Realm is a transit station that transforms resentment that is harmful to heaven and earth into spiritual crystals that can be absorbed by cultivators."

Ao Bing understood: resentment, to put it bluntly, is also a form of spiritual power. It's just that there are too many negative emotions, which is why cultivators cannot absorb it.

Through the transformation of the demon realm, negative emotions can be transformed into demons, and pure spiritual power can be transformed into the core of the demon race.

In this way, one can eliminate negative emotions and obtain pure spiritual essence by hunting down demons.

"The Demon Realm is of great use. It not only solves the problem of excessive resentment but also replenishes the source of life for the world." Ao Bing knew what to do next. (End of Chapter)
