Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Staring at the future Demon Emperor, whose face was gloomy and who remained silent, seemingly lost in thought, He Li narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then spoke again…

"You shouldn't have done this!"

Hmm? Upon hearing He Li's words, the future Demon Emperor looked at He Li with a gaze that was half hostile and half suspicious: "Shouldn't it be like this? Then what do you think I should do?"

He sneered, "Since you haven't had anything handled by others, you naturally feel comfortable saying whatever you want."

"You don't need to be so smug."

Even if I cannot succeed in this era.

"But in the future... the world is still uncertain, and I may not necessarily have no chance to find a new way to survive."

He spoke with obvious dissatisfaction.

He Li didn't care about this. He simply said, "You are, after all, a Heavenly Emperor who has lived for countless years. Compared to Zhulong and the others, you seem to be far inferior."

"However, as the Heavenly Emperor..."

Even if I hadn't seen you, I imagine you weren't always in such a wretched state.

Hearing He Li's words, the gloomy expression of the future Demon Emperor softened slightly, and his eyes became complicated; he certainly knew what his original self was like...

He is the Golden Crow of the Great Sun.

It is also the "sun" that illuminates the world!

In the past, he was the embodiment of light, passion, and life, and the object of worship for all beings.

At that time, he acted on behalf of Heaven, bringing warmth and sunshine to the world. He was also full of passion and had an absolute desire to protect this world.

But as time went on...

He himself didn't know when the passion in his heart had been extinguished.

His feelings towards all living beings, towards heaven and earth...

And I stopped caring as much.

He became the supreme "Heavenly Emperor," looking down upon the world like an observer...

Recalling his past self, even the future Demon Emperor couldn't help but feel some emotional turmoil, but he quickly suppressed it and just stared coldly at He Li and Yu Ji.

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

He asked, and before He Li could answer, he continued, "If you're trying to persuade me to turn back..."

"They wanted to persuade me to stop doing reckless things..."

"Or should I be advised to give up targeting the lower realms?"

"Then you don't need to waste your breath. You have your reasons for acting, and I have mine. Even if the odds of winning are extremely low, I will never give up."

He shook his head upon hearing his words.

He had no intention of persuading the other person to give up his messy ideas.

He Li knew very well that even if the Demon Emperor of the future truly regretted and abandoned those bad ideas, they would not be forgiven by the Heavenly Dao and would have no way to survive.

Besides, he couldn't possibly give up...

Therefore, He Li never intended to persuade him to give up.

He said those things simply because he felt that the fate of beings in the middle and upper realms was not necessarily death...

Or rather, there are other paths to take.

He Li responded, "I'm not so foolish as to think I can actually persuade you to turn back."

"I just feel that... it's a pity that the dignified Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court ended up like this in later generations. Or perhaps there is no right or wrong in the struggle between all living beings and the Heavenly Dao."

"It's all just for survival..."

"You ended up in that state simply because you went down the wrong path."

"However... given the circumstances of later generations, it hasn't reached the point where both sides are fighting to the death. If you don't get stuck on this one point, you might find other ways to survive."

"Of course, you insist on fighting to the death..."

"Then we won't hold back either."

After he finished speaking, the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court of later generations frowned and did not respond to He Li for a long time.

He was clearly pondering He Li's words, because he also knew that even if they returned to the future and continued his plan to fight in the lower realm, the outcome would still be very disadvantageous for them.

If there really is another way to go...

He was willing to try, because ultimately all their actions were for a better survival.

Living beings cultivate themselves and pursue the desire for immortality...

It was also for survival.

In order to no longer be threatened by birth, aging, sickness and death.

However... although the later Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court vaguely felt that He Li's words made sense, they should indeed think carefully about whether there were other ways out.

However, the problem is that the situation in the future and the war in the lower realms are already imminent...

Especially after He Li and the others returned.

He knew without even thinking that once they returned, He Li and the others would become the three Great Emperors of the Lower Realm, possessing incomparably powerful Heavenly Forces enough to directly confront them...

The beings of the upper and lower realms simply didn't have much time to ponder other paths.

And even if you think of it...

Time was too tight, and they could hardly guarantee that they could successfully implement the methods they had come up with.

So, after pondering for a moment...

The Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court looked at He Li again.

Since He Li brought up the matter, he felt that He Li must have thought of something, which was why he said that, and his purpose must be to avoid conflict.

After all, even if the lower realm wins, as long as war breaks out, the lower realm will inevitably be stained with blood...

He Li would not want to see that scene.

Thus, the future Demon Emperor, filled with anticipation, finally spoke after a slight hesitation...

"What...did you think of?"

He asked, and it was clear that it was very difficult for the future Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court to ask He Li. Normally, He Li should have been very willing to reveal his thoughts.

Unfortunately...

He Li simply shrugged.

"Asking me is useless; you all have to figure out your own way out."

"Ask me? Don't count on me!"

After he finished speaking, it was clear that the veins on the forehead of the future Demon Emperor were bulging, and he was about to go berserk. However, he eventually suppressed his anger and did not lash out.

He glared fiercely at He Li: "Whatever, if we can't think of anything else, we'll just have to fight to the death."

"We're not having a good time..."

"Your situation in the lower realm won't be any better... huh?"

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

He Li's gaze shifted from the future Demon Emperor to the evil entity in front of him, which was now under the control of the future Demon Emperor and had stopped attacking Yu Fu...

The fused mass of evil thoughts suddenly sprang into action again, fiercely attacking the fish-like creature.

It's too fast.

Moreover, the attack was too bizarre, as if it were passing through the void and trying to tear the fish-like creature to pieces.

This happened so suddenly that even the Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court in later generations was caught off guard and stunned. Even when he finally reacted and tried to stop the aggregate of evil thoughts...

But it seems he has lost control of the collective evil and is completely unable to stop it.

Fortunately, apart from him...

There's also He Lizai, who harbors a burning passion within him.

boom!!!

Just as the aggregate of evil thoughts was about to harm King Yu Fu of Shu, He Li's inner fire erupted. The soaring golden-red inner fire was more dazzling than the sun and hotter than any flame...

That unexpected collection of evil thoughts was instantly illuminated by the light of the inner fire and burned all over.

Twisted, resentful whispers and roars erupted from within that aggregate of evil thoughts.

But its roar did not last long.

He Li's inner fire was too powerful; the aggregate of evil thoughts was burned away in an instant.

Along with other aggregates of evil thoughts in the surrounding area, they were all dispersed by the inner fire, so that the area within a radius of dozens of miles temporarily entered a state of absolute safety with no more aggregates of evil thoughts.

As the incident subsided...

The later Heavenly Emperor of the Demon Court stared intently at He Li with a gloomy face before disappearing without a trace.

King Yu Fu of Shu also reacted at this moment, looking at He Li with a gaze that was both shocked and awe-inspiring: "You..." He was about to perform a bow when He Li stopped him.

Yu Fu was an ancient sage.

He, as a person of later generations, cannot bear this.

Of course, he also understood why Yu Fu was suddenly so respectful to him and even bowed to him...

Ultimately, it was because of his performance just now, his conversation with the future Demon Emperor, and the eruption of his inner fire that Yu Fu thought He Li was also a god.

Having seen through all this, He Li immediately spoke up...

"Your Majesty need not do this; I am not a god!"

"It's just that the specifics are hard to explain."

He Li gave a simple explanation, and Yu Fu, whose face was pale, nodded without asking any further questions, but his face still showed reverence. The guards and wizards around him also looked the same way.

However, after regaining her senses, Yu Fu looked at He Li tentatively and spoke as if she had thought of something...

"Are you... the Dream God?"

Upon hearing this, He Li instinctively shook his head.

But he quickly realized that Yu Fu wouldn't ask such a question without reason, so he countered, "What do you mean? Is there some similarity between me and that dream-entering deity?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Fu nodded slightly...
