Terrifying Heavens: I Slay Demons by Painting Faces

Chapter 58 The Baby's Obsession

The seal on the Demon God was intact during the Qing Dynasty. Occasionally, a little demon would escape, but it never caused any trouble.

Until... the appearance of foreign enemies, that was a dark period, and the continent of China began to experience turmoil. During this time, things involving fortune and feng shui were involved, and in short, it was a very complicated matter.

The seal on the Demon God was broken during that period, and every ten years or so, the Demon God would emerge to cause trouble, which Tiger Lord had always managed to send away.

Master Along sighed, "When Jun Kai was still young, the Demon God appeared once. A Cheng, who is Jun Kai's father and my son, died on the mountain."

"Now it's Jun Kai's turn."

Chen Hengyi turned his head and saw Lin Junkai standing next to a pillar in the main hall of Fude Palace, his gaze unwavering.

Chen Hengyi met his gaze, and the latter nodded solemnly.

"Master Alon, is there any way to kill the Demon God?"

"It cannot be killed. As long as the Demon God Child exists, the Demon God will not die, so it can only be sealed."

The existence of the Demon God is quite special. It is the mother of the Demon Child and can command and control many Demon Children, but in reality, the two are interdependent.

Without the Demon Child, the Demon God is like a rootless duckweed; conversely, the Demon Child, having lost the Demon God, will also become a scattered mess.

This reminded Chen Hengyi of a beehive, but it wasn't quite accurate.

"What about the Demon Child? Is there any way to stop it from appearing again?"

Master Along frowned even more each day: "Demon child, as long as there are still people having abortions and innocent children dying, their obsessions may run up the mountain and turn into demon children."

"Do you think you can stop all women in Taiwan from having abortions?"

May I?

Chen Hengyi didn't know that even a god couldn't monitor every pregnant woman who wanted an abortion, right?

After listening to Master A Long's words, Chen Hengyi remained silent for a long time. Looking at the sunlight outside the Fude Palace, he suddenly felt that it was a bit dazzling.

"So, does that mean the Demon God can't be killed, and the Demon Child can't be completely eliminated?" Chen Hengyi asked.

Master Along nodded: "Yes, as long as the Demon God Child exists, the Demon God will always exist."

Chen Hengyi was in a bad mood; the mechanisms of the Demon Child and the Evil Demon God seemed a bit difficult to understand.

He rubbed his temples, stood up, and said, "I'll go back and think about it, and see if I can find a solution."

Master Along opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

Their Fude Palace lineage has been fighting the Demon God for so long, but they haven't found a way to defeat him... However, Master Along did not dampen Chen Hengyi's enthusiasm.

"Go, go."

Chen Hengyi bid farewell to Master Along and entered the main hall of Fude Palace. He looked at Lin Junkai and said softly, "Li Yating is in the hospital, but unfortunately, the baby couldn't be saved."

Upon hearing this, Lin Junkai's expression changed, but then a bitter smile appeared on his face: "It's okay, as long as everyone is alright."

Chen Hengyi patted the other person on the shoulder: "Go to the hospital to see her. Oh, and your mother-in-law is there too. She said she won't interfere with you two, but remember to be on your guard."

Chen Hengyi took out some money and handed it to Lin Junkai, whose eyes widened and he swallowed hard: "Mr. Chen, this... isn't quite right."

"Take it to buy some gifts, be a little smooth-talking, don't talk back when your mother-in-law scolds you, give her some emotional support, anyway... whether you can handle it or not depends on yourself."

Chen Hengyi forcefully handed the item over and then went into his room.

Lying in bed, Chen Hengyi pondered what he possessed that could help him deal with the Demon God.

"Money?" Chen Hengyi took out a wallet-shaped golden toad treasure bag. The little golden toad on it had a round, bulging belly and was lying down sleeping.

As soon as Chen Hengyi took out the wallet, the little golden toad suddenly jumped up, its mouth puffed out in silent protest.

It's as if it's saying that it hasn't made any money in a long time!

Chen Hengyi flicked his finger, sending the little golden toad staggering: "What are you doing? It's only been two days!"

The little golden toad got angry and punched Chen Hengyi on the surface of the wallet, but unfortunately, the little golden toad could only stay on the wallet except when it went to pick up money.

Chen Hengyi was able to touch the other party slightly, but once he moved his hand away, the little golden toad was unable to do anything.

Eventually, it fell into depression, turning its back to Chen Hengyi and ceasing to move unless Chen Hengyi took it to pick up money.

The little golden toad squatted down, clutching its head: "I'm so angry~"

Chen Hengyi was amused by the little golden toad, but he didn't continue playing with it. Instead, he opened his wallet to take a look.

He scanned the mountain of banknotes and gold and silver inside.

"If I spend money to create a foundation and take over all abortion cases on the island... no, no, how long would it take to make that much money?"

Chen Hengyi took out his phone to search.

Why do people have abortions?

He thought that if he could change this trend and reduce the number of demon children, even though the hope was slim, he would still try to understand and give it a shot.

How do you know it's a wall if you don't hit it?

He thought that if this trend could be reversed and the number of demon children reduced, although it could not be completely eradicated, it would at least weaken the power of the evil demon god.

Chen Hengyi thought about it more and more and felt that this was a feasible direction. He opened his mobile browser and entered keywords such as "Taiwan abortion rate statistics" and "the popularization of sex education for teenagers" into the search bar.

The numbers that popped up on the screen made him frown—the number of women who choose abortion each year due to unplanned pregnancy far exceeded his imagination, and many of them were minors.

There are even many news reports of people being abandoned after birth because they don't want to raise them.

"Damn, no wonder those mountains and fields are teeming with demon kids!"

Do those babies have a strong desire to become demon children? Of course not. Who doesn't want to grow up properly and live a good life?

He looked at it for a while, then exited the browser.

To end the Demon Child and the Evil Demon God, we must sever the obsessions of those infants and ascend the mountain.

"It would be best if we could solve it with money, but perhaps we could prepare for the worst..."

Chen Hengyi wondered if there was any way to directly sever the baby's obsession.

"If only there were a magical artifact that could directly absorb the obsessions of infants and then send them to be reincarnated..."

However, Chen Hengyi also knew that these infants' obsessions could not be directly reincarnated.

If a child is aborted or dies young during the reincarnation process, their resentment will gradually increase with the number of reincarnations, and then they will become a spirit infant.

These infant spirits then need to be released through rituals to dispel their resentment before they can re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

The obsessions of infants who can remain in the human world are mostly due to this situation; otherwise, they wouldn't even have time to run up the mountain and become demon children before they are reincarnated again.

Chen Hengyi scanned the room, looking at the things left behind by the Great Black Buddha Mother.

"Is there any way to make use of this thing?"
