In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 502 Work is work, and life is life!
"So that's how it is. So these two guys are old acquaintances."

Su Yuan nodded in realization, then couldn't help but speculate with a dark thought:
"That selfish and stingy old bastard, Wuliang Jiezun, actually allowed Wan Chenxin to cultivate the Primordial Dao. I think those two scoundrels might be having an affair!"

“Su Yuan…it’s wrong to spread rumors.”

Qi Hanyue gave a serious reminder.

The Purple-Gold Dragon Lord smiled and said:

"In fact, what Su Yuan said is not entirely impossible... but I believe more that these two are like-minded fellow Daoists."

"Although they are competitors in mastering the Primordial Dao, they are completely aligned in certain philosophies."

Su Yuan asked curiously:

"What specific philosophies brought them together?"

The Purple-Gold Dragon Lord didn't keep them in suspense and said directly:
"On the matter of periodically launching the Immortal Tribulation, Wan Chenxin highly approves of Wuliang Jiezun and is willing to give his full support."

Everyone present was shocked.

They had anticipated this possibility, but when the words actually came from the mouth of the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, everyone still felt a chill run down their spines.

A powerful being above the Nascent Soul stage, a demon mother who could easily nurture a powerful immortal cultivation civilization like the Yuxuan World, was actually willing to jointly push forward the Immortal Tribulation.

Do they completely lose their humanity once they reach that level?

Chu Chu, who had once been a devout follower of the Demon Mother, was more shocked than anyone else present. Ignoring her own status, she asked incredulously:
"Does the Demon Mother want to destroy us? Then what about the three hundred years she raised and taught us? Was it all just a charade?"

After glancing at Chu Chu, whose Dao heart was on the verge of collapse, the Purple-Gold Dragon Venerable sighed softly and said:

"Based on my understanding of Wan Chenxin, she is not a truly heartless person; she just... keeps her life and work very separate."

"For her, nurturing the younger generation of the demon race and watching the children she personally taught grow up is her life, while helping the Boundless Tribulation Venerable to launch the Immortal Tribulation and restart the cultivation civilization is her job."

"To make life as perfect as possible when you are living, and to completely abandon life when you are working, and to coldly and ruthlessly destroy civilization—this is the whole picture of Wan Chenxin."

After listening, Chu Chu fell into a long silence.

The good news is that the Demon Mother, whom the Yu Xuan Demon Clan worships, loves them.

The bad news is that the Demon Mother's love for them has come to an end, and what follows is an indiscriminate purge.

"Senior Dragon Lord, thank you for telling us so much important information."

Su Yuan pulled the dejected Chu Chu aside and spoke earnestly to the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord.

"Now that we've confirmed that the Demon Mother is our enemy, we must find a way to defeat her. Senior Dragon Lord, have you investigated the Demon Mother's weaknesses?"

After a pause, Su Yuan seemed to remember something and quickly added:

"By the way, I remember the Yu Xuan Demon Clan wasn't corrupted by the Shadow of the Abyss, right? If they migrated as a whole clan, far away from the Demon Mother, could that significantly weaken the enemy's strength?"

After pondering for a while, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord said:

"Su Yuan, I'm sorry, I haven't found the Demon Mother's weakness, and my current situation is also quite special, so I can't reveal the truth to the higher-ups of the Yu Xuan Demon Clan and let them evacuate in time."

Su Yuan was taken aback.

He could understand not being able to find the Demon Mother's weakness, but what was the reason for not being able to establish contact with the Yu Xuan Demon Clan?

Isn't the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord right here in the Imperial Mystic World?

Seemingly sensing the confusion of Su Yuan and everyone present, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord calmly said:

"Didn't I tell you before that my condition is a bit bad?"

"To be honest, I am being devoured by Wan Chenxin. She has already eaten the latter half of my dragon body."

"In less than half a month, I'll probably be completely consumed. It's a good thing you contacted me early enough, otherwise I might not have been able to reply." Su Yuan, Chen Nuoyi: "..."

No wonder the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord knew so much about Wan Chenxin; it turns out he had already merged with that old monster.

Su Yuan could imagine a scene where, within a towering tree whose roots covered the entire main world, a purple-gold dragon was tightly bound by its branches, its noble body being gradually devoured by the towering tree, yet its head remained held high.

This left him feeling dejected.

They had promised to save the Purple Gold Dragon Lord, but before they could do anything, the Dragon Lord, who had helped them so much, was about to perish.

This made Su Yuan feel very uncomfortable.

Not to mention Chen Nuoyi, who inherited the mantle of the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord, and Long Bai, who was still unaware of it.

"Senior Dragon Lord, we want to save you. Please tell us how."

Su Yuan gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

The Yu Xuan World was far away from him, but with his cultivation level, it wasn't that far if he traveled at full speed.

Since we'll have to face the Demon Mother Wan Chenxin sooner or later, we might as well take the initiative. At least that way we'll still have a chance to rescue our powerful ally, the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord.

The Purple-Gold Dragon Lord didn't mince words and said with a smile:

"If you want to do it, then give it a try. As for the specific method to save me... of course, it's not about rushing into the Yuxuan World to snatch me, but about making good use of your power."

"The key to victory or defeat still lies in the Primordial Dao. As long as you can surpass Wan Chenxin in this Dao, you may not be unable to forcibly take away her control over the Yu Xuan World."

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan immediately recalled the scene he had experienced before, when he was fighting with the fake Chu Jiang for the Primordial Dao in the Void World.

Among cultivators walking together on the Primordial Path, there is a chance to compete for the power of the Great Dao.

He was able to snatch the fake Chu Jiang back then, and he might be able to snatch the Demon Mother Wan Chenxin now.

Su Yuan then thought of the demon generals and soldiers he had drained. Although they had lost all their cultivation, the turbid world power within them remained.

It seems he has to catch the toad and squeeze out the last bit of value from the five million demon soldiers.

He wanted to try to use his Primordial Chaos Dao to invade the bodies of the demon generals and demon soldiers and steal the turbid world power within them.

Thinking of this, Su Yuanchao, the Purple-Gold Dragon Venerable, solemnly said:
"I will try my best. Please hold on a little longer. As long as there is a glimmer of hope to save you, we will not give up."

The Purple-Gold Dragon King nodded with satisfaction:

"I'm looking forward to your performance. So, do you have any questions for me? If we drag this out any longer, Wan Chenxin will probably start to notice."

Su Yuan looked at Xinghe Tianjun and the others, and seeing that they all shook their heads, he ended the communication with Zijin Longzun.

"Oh dear, it seems the situation is even more serious than we imagined."

An Xingran spread her hands dejectedly and said:
"It's so hard that I have to bear such a heavy responsibility even though I'm just a high school girl."

Wu Luo Zhenjun ignored the sighing and groaning Qianmian Tianjun and looked directly at Su Yuan:
"Are you confident you can defeat the Demon Mother Wan Chenxin on the Primordial Dao?"

Su Yuan said without hesitation:
"No."

Wuluo Zhenjun: "..."

How self-righteous you are! So what about all those grand ambitions you made in front of the Purple-Gold Dragon Lord?
But soon, Su Yuan added:
"Of course, it's not possible right now, but I have a chance of doing it if certain necessary conditions are met."

"Oh?"

The red-haired mature woman revealed an expectant look.

Su Yuan said with a serious face:
"Our top priority right now is to earn 100 billion!"
