"So, back to my initial question, the balance of Yin and Yang. I am Yang now, but what if one day I become Yin?" Lu Cheng asked.

“If this were my original world, you would have been abandoned by the immortal gods and become one of the demons,” the Holy Lord said.

"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 obtain power from demons."

"Zhou Lan's plan is to lead you into darkness and make you one of the demons, so that everyone except me will gain true freedom in this world!"

The divine artifact in Lü Cheng's possession is only useful to him!

Even if this guy falls to the side of the devil and the contract breaks, Lü Cheng still has the ability to banish him back to hell!

But the other demons, lacking corresponding divine tokens, are invincible in this world without the Eight Immortals!

That's why he was initially unwilling to accept the plan!

Demons are all selfish!

He was an unavoidable victim of this plan!

"More than that, right?" Lu Cheng asked doubtfully.

"Would they have been so worried about that alone?"

He saw it clearly: when Zhou Lan and the others were discussing their plan, the other demons all showed obvious fear!

The Holy Lord picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, “Of course, this plan carries a huge risk.”

"Your fall and the freedom of the devil could very well lead to the return of the immortal gods to the mortal realm."

After sealing the demon, the power of Yin declined. To prevent the birth of a new and more powerful demon, the Eight Immortals chose to leave the human world and disappeared to who-knows-where.

However, if all the demons return to the human world and regain their former wisdom and power, the Eight Immortals are very likely to reappear and fill the vacancy of Yang.

"Hmm... Since you understand 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 escape the shackles of hell?" Lu Cheng asked doubtfully.

The Holy Lord looked at him like he was an idiot. "You think... a demon? Why is it called a demon?"

"The devil is Yin itself, and the Eight Immortals are Yang itself. This is our essence, and it cannot be changed."

"As for the outcome, your human life is only a hundred years long, and you are destined to die, so why do you live?"

Lü Cheng nodded. "And what about me?"

"Didn't you say I'm a descendant of an immortal god? Then how can I become Yin?"

“Because you are human,” the Holy Lord said.

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

"Then what use am I, a descendant of an immortal god?" Lu Cheng asked in confusion.

"Aside from being somewhat special to demons, it's not very useful in the human world," the Holy Lord said.

Lu Cheng's eye twitched slightly. "Completely useless?"

The Holy Lord paused for a moment, then said, "It's not entirely useless."

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

"In the human world, you will always be just an ordinary person. Once you have the idea of ​​using divine power for your own selfish purposes, divine power will stay away from you, and righteous magic will no longer protect you."

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

"..."

"A sucker?" Lu Cheng looked puzzled.

He thought his status was so impressive, but it turns out he was just a sucker.

The Holy Lord nodded. "I think so too. However, those true saints wouldn't care if they were some kind of sucker."

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

"A bunch of paranoid lunatics."

"That's why I said you don't seem to be a descendant of an immortal god."

"You are smarter than them."

"..."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Chapter 6 Honesty

……

Tianlan Magic High School.

Lu Cheng came to school with dark circles under his eyes.

"Holy crap? What did you do last night?"

Mu Bai stared blankly at Lü Cheng, who looked incredibly haggard and as if he had been completely drained.

"To explore the mysteries of magic." Lü Cheng sat down and immediately slumped onto the table.

The Yin-Yang balance pact constructed by the demons granted him half of the Holy Lord's fire demonic energy.

However, Shendu's power was left in Hell by the Yin-Yang Balance Contract. After leaving Hell, in the words of this world, Shendu is now a demon in his infancy, which corresponds to his current state.

Of course, their strength is unknown.

After all, the world before the Holy Lord was bound by the balance of Yin and Yang, which limited the power of demons in the human world. Moreover, the righteous magic left by the Eight Immortals enveloped the entire world, and all life was protected by the righteous energy. When attacked by demons, this righteous energy would reduce most of the damage, which can be regarded as a protective mechanism of the balance of Yin and Yang.

However, this world lacks the righteous magic of the Eight Immortals.

Even the Holy Lord himself doesn't know how powerful he is now, so he needs to test it.

The best way to test this, of course, is through combat!

So, under the guise of teaching, the Holy Lord beat him up in the basement all night!

Ok!

What he received from the Holy Lord was not just the demonic energy of fire, but a genuine "half" of it.

He possesses all the powers that the Holy Lord has, including the power of the twelve talismans!

Of course, it is not complete yet, and it is very faint.

After all, the Holy Lord is currently an infant demon, and his various abilities are in their infancy. He cannot yet use most of his talismanic powers.

However, the immortal dog and the healing horse, these two basic demonic abilities, still exist, albeit in a weakened form. Moreover, since this power was taken from Shendu, it can only affect him.

The immortal dog gave him an extremely terrifying vitality; he wouldn't die even if his heart was pierced!

A healed horse will repair all damage caused by external forces!

Then, in order to test the maximum effect of these two talisman powers being distributed to him, the Holy Lord beat him to death!

Although the horse could heal his injuries, he was too weak at the moment, so at most he would only recover faster, and the pain would still be there!

Moreover, it's one thing to beat him up, but this shameless old man even calls it "combat training"!

One-sided beatings, is this what you call combat training?

"Okay... how many stars do you have now?" Mu Bai asked.

"What? Trying to spy on military intelligence?" Lü Cheng looked up.

His parents were high-level mages, which was already considered top-tier in a small place like Bo City where mid-level mages could dominate. As the local power in Bo City, the Mu family naturally fawned over him, so his relationship with the Mu family was quite good.

Because of his influence, Mu Bai also came into Mu Zhuoyun's sight earlier, though only as a messenger.

Because he was intelligent from a young age and seemed so gifted, Mu Zhuoyun's attitude towards him never changed, even though his parents disappeared in a demon attack in Bocheng ten years ago.

Even if they are descendants of high-level mages, their talent wouldn't be that low.

Moreover, his parents seemed to have extraordinary backgrounds, and they knew Ye Xinxia's mother. In fact, Ye Xinxia's mother and his parents disappeared one after the other.

"What spying?" Mu Bai sat down with a sour look on his face.

"It's our Mu family patriarch, Master Mu. He knows you're a summoner, and that's the most expensive skill to cultivate. So, he asked me to inquire about your progress so he can buy you some support items."

Lu Cheng's parents came to Bocheng temporarily. It is said that they were injured in the battle on the front line and were pregnant with Lu Cheng at the time, so the couple came to Bocheng to recuperate without bringing much with them.

Summoning magic is the most resource-intensive type of magic in the early game!

The auxiliary items that Guang Guang bought when he was summoning cost hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of yuan!

The Mu family patriarch had wanted Lü Cheng to be his son-in-law, but he hesitated because he didn't know how talented Lü Cheng was.

"Oh, I see..." Lü Cheng rubbed his eyes.

"I don't need any auxiliary items; my parents left me some good stuff."

"As for how many stars I have now..."
