Damn, I turned into a monster

Chapter 233, Section 231: Don't you work?
“Have you ever thought about a question?”

"what is the problem?"

"You're going to die."

In the dark basement, the withered-looking monk looked at the man who appeared before him. The tone of their conversation was very calm, but it gave people a sense of absurd horror.

However, there was no one else in this place, only these two: a human and a demon.

Or perhaps it's a heretic, a demon.

"who are you?"

The cultivator looked at Wang Wu quietly and asked.

“I don’t think you need to know my name,” Wang Wu said, “because you’re going to die.”

"I know, but I want to ask, who are you?"

"I am Wang Wu."

"Ah, I've heard of you." The man's face showed a look of understanding. "Since it's you, then it's not surprising."

"I'm just curious, why did you come here?"

"Because I just happened to be here, there's no other reason, and I just happened to see you guys having an illegal assembly here, it's that simple."

Wang Wu shrugged. "The only reason you can still talk to me now is because that person outside hasn't found you yet. But all your other fellow disciples should have been killed. Now you're the only one left."

"So you're here to come after me?"

"More or less." Wang Wu nodded. "If you confess honestly, I might let you die a little less painfully, although I never intended to torture you. I'm just saying that."

“I think even if I don’t answer, you should know what kind of reply I will give,” the withered monk said.

"Yes, I know." Wang Wu raised his hand and slammed his palm forward.

“I also know the location of other evil forces in this city. You may think you are well hidden, but to me, such hiding is meaningless.”

Before his death, the withered cultivator still heard Wang Wu's words; these were the last sounds he heard. Wang Wu did this on purpose, because it would make him appear more sophisticated.

Make him hear, understand, and realize this. Then let him watch his hand strike, and then slap him so hard that he's reduced to ashes and his soul is scattered.

"Haha, now you're powerless, now it's all over."

Wang Wu looked at the remains on the ground with a chuckle. Although the bodies were still there, the thing inside had completely vanished.

Annihilation doesn't necessarily mean annihilating the body as well; it can also directly strike the soul through the body.

Of course, even the strongest expert cannot completely annihilate the soul of a life. At most, he can only reduce it to its most primitive state, which is nothing but the concept of 'I'.

This concept is the underlying logic of all universes, or rather, the multiverse, and at least those powerful beings on Earth cannot erase this underlying logic.

Therefore, from another perspective, all people and all life, especially life with a soul, can actually be considered immortal.

A robot's soul is, of course, also a soul. The concept of 'I' can be born, but it will not die, and the infinite birth of 'I' also means an infinite multiverse.

Of course, some robot souls are simply reincarnations. The so-called 'reincarnation' refers to the most primitive kind of reincarnation, without any human intervention, and the probability of this is quite high.

That's right, the chances of reincarnation in the primordial world are extremely high; one can basically be reborn immediately after death. Or rather, for a person who has already died, the transition from death to resurrection is merely a matter of a moment.

The world you live in is the same as the world you live in after death. The most primal soul, the most primal 'id', has no concept of time. When they awaken in a body capable of supporting self-awareness, that is the beginning.

Therefore, life, or rather the soul, only exists in the 'present'. Of course, in certain universes with special rules, they can also exist in parallel.

Past, present, and future coexist. For example, in some universes where timelines can be reversed, time can be reversed and past events can be changed.

That belongs to a relatively high-level, high-grade universe, and ordinary people generally cannot come into contact with such a universe.

In this kind of universe, being reborn there depends entirely on luck, and the most primitive mechanism of reincarnation is also highly dependent on luck.

There is no pattern to it; it is pure randomness and probability. You may be a human in this life, but in the next life you may become an insect, and an insect's brain is not even enough to support the existence of self-awareness.

But insects still possess that most primal, original 'self'.

Mayflies have little capacity for thought, but their lifespan is also very short.

After experiencing the brilliant life of a highly intelligent being, if a person could retain memories of their past life, and it just so happens that they were an insect in their past life, then they would absolutely be terrified of such a life.

Even though insects have incredibly short lifespans, such a short life is still a torment, a kind of torture.

Fortunately, not everyone can retain memories of their past life, and the souls of most lives are extremely fragile, so fragile that after the death of the vessel, they quickly perish and completely dissipate over time.

Only the purest essence remains, then melts into the world, and awakens from its long slumber to begin a new life.

For some, this is the most terrifying thing about death. Forgetting everything, abandoning everything, all that existed in the previous life no longer exists, leaving only nothingness.

This uncontrollable reincarnation is also what they fear most. In this life, they are human, but in the next, they will be animals, and in the life after that, insects.

Even if the number of tiny creatures in the world is enormous, this naturally lowers the chances of them being reborn as highly intelligent beings.

But for the people of this world, this is not a problem, because all living beings have the opportunity to awaken higher intelligence, which is commonly known as 'transformation into a demon'.

After all, the monsters in this world are the creatures closest to the humans in Wang Wu's hometown, while the humans in this world... Wang Wu doesn't know their origins or their history.

However, considering that almost all intelligent life on planets is human, and the remnants of civilizations that can be seen everywhere in the universe, there should also be a primitive civilization in this universe.

Or rather, a pioneering civilization.

Just like Earth in their world, people have conquered the entire universe, leaving their mark in every corner of it.

Then they perished for unknown reasons, leaving only the seeds they sowed on these planets.

Judging from the current situation, the pioneering civilization in this universe is probably even more obsessed than the human empire in their master's hometown, because at least there are real aliens there, just fewer.

But here...

Well, Wang Wu hasn't explored this part of the universe either, so he shouldn't be too dogmatic in his statements; that wouldn't be good.

His wandering thoughts returned to the cultivator before him. Looking at the man's body lying on the ground, rapidly cracking and turning to ash, Wang Wu said:

"Now it's all over, and you should re-enter the cycle of reincarnation and go to where you belong."

"It seems you have already eliminated the evil spirits and heretics from this place?"

At this moment, a voice came from behind Wang Wu. Although the conversation between Wang Wu and the cultivator seemed to take a while, it actually only took a few seconds.

"Yes, it's been resolved."

Wang Wu nodded, "You're a little late, but that's not your fault. If it weren't for me, none of you would have found this place."

"Then we really have to thank Immortal Wang." The man with the feathered crown said to Wang Wu with a smile, "Thanks to Immortal Wang, we were able to..." "No, it's not over yet." Wang Wu interrupted him directly, "There are quite a few evil and heretical people in your area. I'm curious, is someone cooperating with them again?"

The moment these words were spoken, the man in the feathered crown's face also darkened. "Please, Immortal Lord..."

“Of course.” Wang Wu interrupted again, “Just follow me, I’ll take you there.”

After saying that, he walked towards the man with the feathered crown, but walked straight past him without intending to say anything more to him.

He didn't have a good impression of this person, so he didn't plan to have much interaction with him.

The man with the feathered crown, ignoring Wang Wu's disregard, clearly dared not voice any objections and hurriedly followed.

Without waiting for the other party, Wang Wu disappeared from the sight of the man with the feathered crown in the blink of an eye.

However, this did not affect anything, because immediately afterward, auras soared into the sky from the city.

It was an incredibly familiar aura, yet also an incredibly evil and eerie one.

This is evil and heretical.

Just as Wang Wu said, there are a large number of heretical cultivators in this city.

Among tens of millions of people, the number of these heretical followers of evil religions has reached an astonishing nearly ten thousand. Clearly, this is no small matter.

Fortunately, Wang Wu was there, so it didn't take long for all the evil spirits and heretics in the city to be found.

As they were discovered, Wang Wu disposed of them as well.

After completing a series of tasks, Wang Wu had accumulated several thousand more lives on his hands.

He kills based on his mood, and he doesn't care whether the other person is really bad or not; he kills entirely on his gut feeling.

Those you like, don't kill; those you don't, kill. It's that simple.

"Many thanks to the Immortal Lord for ridding my Great Chu of a scourge. I, the Illustrious Lord, bow in gratitude to the Immortal Master!"

Faced with a powerhouse of Wang Wu's caliber, a great being from the Extreme Heaven Divine Palace, the King of Chu naturally behaved with great humility and deference.

In order to make a better impression on Wang Wu, he even brought his mother over to curry favor with Wang Wu.

The father of this King of Chu was not killed by the current King of Chu, which is quite unusual in the succession to the throne in Chu.

However, this does not mean that the King of Chu did not want to kill his father; it's just that someone beat him to it.

His mother's child with another man somehow bypassed the court's inspection and became the first in line to the throne.

Logically, he should have just waited patiently, but unfortunately, the King of Chu did not like his son, so he planned to depose him.

Then he was killed by this son who was not related to him by blood, and then the current King of Chu launched a fierce attack, sending his brother to his grave.

As for his brother's identity, he had known about it for a long time, so he had been accumulating power, planning to expose the truth after his brother ascended to the throne, kill his brother, and then take the throne.

Or he could kill his father, expose the affair, kill his half-brother, and then take over the position.

In short, his father was definitely going to die; otherwise, he couldn't succeed to the throne.

The older brother must die too, because he is a bastard, a mongrel.

There were no eunuchs in the palace, only palace maids, because there was no difference in physical ability between men and women in this world, and women could do many more things in the palace.

Anyway, for the monarch, it must be great.

The current King of Chu's mother is very beautiful and young, only in her fifties.

She married the King of Chu at the age of fifteen, gave birth to a son at sixteen, and is now less than sixty years old, having given birth to two sons and a daughter.

She is indeed very young.

And her charm, her figure... cough cough.

In short, this is not important, but the King of Chu was indeed quite good at currying favor.

This is called "reluctant to part with the kiss... but unable to get it..."

Well, it didn't work out, but that's not important.

This morning, Wang Wu opened his eyes, pushed the corpse off his body, and then went to the palace.

Then came the obsequious and flattering words from the King of Chu.

It can only be said that the King of Chu was indeed willing to spend money, but judging from the performance of those sugar-coated bullets, they seemed to be enjoying it.

That's normal; life in the palace in this world is quite decadent.

"How does the Queen Mother of Chu feel? It must be quite a unique experience, right?"

While accepting the flattery and ingratiation of the King of Chu, Wang Wu never expected that he would encounter Situ Jin again in this place.

"What are you doing here instead of working at the Great Zhou Demon Suppression Division?"

After listening to the King of Chu's flattering words, Wang Wu was about to exchange a few polite words with him, after all, he had killed the King of Chu's sister and mother, so he really had to be polite.

Before he could even speak, he heard a woman's voice.

The next moment, the woman appeared in front of him.

She was tall and had an exceptionally beautiful face, with a perpetually ambiguous smile on her face.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?" Situ Jin tilted her head and looked at Wang Wu, a smile playing on her lips.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm coming to find you."

"What are you looking for me for?"

"I missed you so much, so I came to see you."

"You don't work?"

"This is my job."

After a few words, Wang Wu simply stopped talking.

This woman easily aroused him; in this respect, she was truly a beast among beasts.

He's a complete bastard, an idiot.
