My cultivation is too warm

The First Evil of All Heavens was stunned upon hearing Xu Mo's words.

Wait, what's going on? This kid is way too familiar! What elder? What's the big deal about me? Why is he acting like a grandson meeting his grandfather?

Xu Mo's words were half true and half false. This number one evil being in all the heavens was a powerful figure at the Great Dao Venerable realm. It was unknown how he survived when everyone else had disappeared.

If I remember correctly, Cang Gu and the Alliance of Otherworldly Realms once joined forces to act in unison. In that case, the other party should have disappeared along with everything that was erased from the previous era.

But since the number one evil being in all the heavens is still here, does that mean he tricked everyone at the last moment?
If that's the case, then what is the other party's purpose? Is it to establish a new era where one person holds absolute power and authority?

If that's really the purpose, then it's troublesome. Although the technological weapons of the new era are very powerful, they are definitely not enough to deal with the Great Dao Venerable, the number one evil being of all heavens.

However, it's not without a chance. No matter how you look at it, since that battle could erase everything, then the number one evil being in the heavens must be affected.

Xu Mo did not believe that the number one evil in the heavens was still at his peak. He believed that the opponent must be severely injured now, otherwise he would not have appeared only now.

Moreover, judging from his performance when the First Evil of All Heavens first appeared a hundred years ago, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person, barely reaching the "extraordinary" level.

Of course, it's also possible that the other party did it on purpose, hiding their true strength, or that it was their true strength at the time, but after a hundred years of recuperation, they felt they had recovered enough to face all the technological weapons of Canggu, so they decided to reveal themselves at this time.

The Great Dao Venerable realm once stood at the pinnacle of the endless spacetime of the myriad realms. Even if the opponent's strength was only restored to one ten-thousandth, or even one hundred-thousandth, or one millionth, it was still beyond the reach of the current technological weapons of the Canggu world. After all, the strongest technological weapon in the Canggu world at present could only use black hole weapons, and their power could only destroy a few star systems. They seemed strong, but in fact they were not weak at all. However, if the opponent was a former Great Dao Venerable powerhouse, then it would become meaningless.

This was Xu Mo's guess about the number one evil in the heavens. He said this to test the other party's attitude, not only the other party's attitude towards the new era, but also to judge how much strength the other party still had from his words.

After the initial bewilderment, the First Evil of All Heavens also realized that as a former Great Dao Venerable, Xu Mo's little tricks could not be hidden from him. In just a short moment, he guessed almost everything about Xu Mo's purpose.

So he shook his head and said bluntly, "You don't need to test me. I can tell you very clearly that I don't know how I survived that battle either."

"But one thing is certain: I have not betrayed the alliance."

Xu Mo was embarrassed when his little scheme was exposed. He didn't expect the other party to be so direct, but he didn't care. For someone who used to pretend to be an honest person all the time, his skin was already at the ceiling of all the heavens and myriad worlds. No matter what embarrassing things he faced, he wouldn't care.

So he cupped his hands in greeting to the First Evil of All Heavens and asked, "Senior, don't you know how you survived? If so, why have you only shown yourself now?"

The First Evil of All Heavens answered his second question, saying, "That's because I have only just regained my memories. Before that, I was in a daze and had no consciousness at all."

"As for why I was able to survive..." At this point, the First Evil of All Heavens frowned and pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I also have some guesses about this. It should be related to my Dao."

"Senior's Dao?" Xu Mo asked with some surprise and uncertainty.

The First Evil of All Heavens sighed deeply, nodded with a complicated expression, and then said, "Do you know what my Dao is?" "I don't know." Xu Mo shook his head. He had not heard Ye Laodao's clone or Xuanli Fairy mention this.

The First Evil of All Heavens nodded slightly, then calmly uttered two words, "The End of Dharma!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo's pupils contracted, and he said with some disbelief, "The end of Dharma? Is the end of Dharma you mentioned the one I understand?"

The First Evil Ruler of the Heavens glanced at the sky with a somewhat dazed expression. After a long while, he nodded slightly and explained, "My original dream was to erase all cultivation methods and paths in the endless space and time of the myriad worlds. I would be the only one with a single method and the only one who is supreme in the myriad worlds. I am the method, I am the path."

As he spoke, he lowered his head slightly, "I never imagined that I would pursue such a thing my whole life but could never achieve it. In the end, after I gave up, I succeeded in a muddle."

"Isn't this the era I've always been pursuing? But..."

The voice of the First Evil of All Heavens grew fainter and fainter until Xu Mo could no longer hear what he was saying.

What shocked Xu Mo was that his guess was actually true. The number one evil in the heavens was indeed pursuing a unique method and supreme supremacy. What surprised him even more was that the other party directly admitted it without any attempt to hide it.

Is this the confidence that comes with strength? It seems the other party thinks they are invincible. If that's the case, then we're in trouble.

Just as Xu Mo was pondering how to deal with the current crisis, the voice of the First Evil of All Heavens rang out again: "No fun at all, not fun at all."

"Hmm?" Xu Mo came back to his senses and looked at the First Evil of All Heavens with some confusion.

The First Evil of All Heavens curled his lip, as if speaking to him, yet also as if talking to himself, and said:

"The world of one person practicing alone is really meaningless. No one is chasing me, I don't have to hide, I don't feel any urgency, and I don't have to think about how to defeat those who are chasing me after I finish this hard-earned cultivation and see their incredulous expressions."

"Empty, boring, and utterly meaningless—do you understand that feeling?"

After he finished speaking, he stared intently at Xu Mo, waiting for his reply.

Xu Mo was heavy-hearted for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head. He really couldn't understand or imagine this feeling.

"Sigh." The First Evil of All Heavens sighed, then said with a hint of disappointment, "How could you not even understand this feeling? It's like... like... um, it's like... oh right, it's like in games from your era, where you just spend all your money and then sweep through everything. If that's the case, you can probably imagine it, right?"
