The primordial chaos has arrived, and you have to choose the crow at the start.

The three demons saw through it all and heard Chen Geng's voice, so they knew why the Seventh Prince was doing this.

This is a blatant challenge to Buddhism, a way for the demon race to make a living.

If things go wrong, the Seventh Prince will perish. There's nothing they can do but silently burn incense and pray for him.

"Humans, if you are so inclined, please come and offer some incense."

The Clefthoof Demon held incense sticks in its hands, and two memorial tablets stood at the entrance of the cave, clearly reading:

The positions of the Seven Princes and the Sun God are not present, but the position of Nuwa, who should be here, is missing.

Wisps of incense smoke, passing through the altar, carried Chen Geng towards the heavens.

The incense offerings from all the major and minor demon clans of Xiniu Hezhou enveloped Chen Geng, bringing with them the fortune of the demon clans.

Incense offerings spread not only to Western Niuhe Continent, Eastern Sheng Shen Continent, Northern Julu Continent, and Southern Zhanbu Continent.

Those were the demons who were barely clinging to life, finally seeing that there were demons in their race willing to stand up and protect them.

With the blessing of good fortune, Chen Geng discovered that his comprehension and cultivation strength were growing extremely fast, and he was rapidly comprehending supernatural abilities that had not shown much promise before.

Like yin and yang reversed, what he had always seen in Li Bairen was now a thread that he couldn't quite untangle, but now he found the thread at a glance.

The blessing of good fortune in spiritual practice is a legitimate method of cultivation, helping people to attain enlightenment.

He hadn't received the blessing of the demon race's fortune before, so his growth was slow, but now it's different; his supernatural powers are increasing at a visible rate.

With this power to reverse Yin and Yang, although the Great Dao of Yin and Yang has already appeared, the Great Dao of Reversal has not yet appeared. Chen Geng could completely establish a connection with the Ancestor of Reversal during the Longhan period.

When the ancestor attains enlightenment, he will owe Chen Geng a share of the merit.

And this is only the second Heavenly Divine Power. If the Bodhi Patriarch in Fangcun Mountain can help him, then Chen Geng will be completely confident that he can learn all the divine powers this time.

The demon race's luck has endless uses; he has protected himself well, so perhaps he should have done this long ago.

As Chen Geng was reflecting on this, he suddenly sensed a trace of human incense spreading towards him.

Unlike the luck of the demon race, the incense offerings of humanity contain more. Although the amount is small, Chen Geng clearly sensed that less karma was being transferred to him.

Is Heaven favoring me?

No, it's not about favoritism, but rather that the human spirit and destiny contain the teachings of sages, who in turn represent the Way of Heaven.

He quickly discerned the truth, but where did this incense offering and good fortune come from?

Chen Geng looked down at the earth to investigate the cause and saw the three demons—the Cracked Hoof Demon, the White Cat Demon, and the Old Corpse Demon—leading more than two hundred humans, including Wang Chuanxian, to offer incense.

Immediately afterwards, a second stream of incense from another cave spread out and reached him.

At this moment, Chen Geng's expression was complex, a mixture of relief and emotion.

The demon race is not inherently evil. Before the human race was even educated, the emperor had already been educating and teaching the demon race.

During the era of the Lich Kings, the order of heaven and earth was established by the Demon Court. At that time, any intelligent being could be called a demon.

They are kinder, more honest, and more loyal.

On the contrary, humans, being born uneducated, are cunning, treacherous, greedy, and vile.

It was only later, due to conflicting interests, that the Lich Kings were defeated, making the Human Race easier to control. Furthermore, because the newborns had fewer karmic connections, they were bet on by various religious leaders, which is why they became the protagonists of the world.

It was entirely expected that the demon race would once again demonstrate its superior qualities.

Unbeknownst to Chen Geng, the incense offerings of humanity gradually spread to him, saving him from a major crisis.

In the Heavenly Court, on the Thirty-Three Heavens, inside the Southern Red Emperor's Great Hall.

The Crimson Emperor's gaze remained fixed on Xiniu Hezhou. Only when he noticed the appearance of that trace of human destiny did he slowly relax his grip on the armrest.

If the humanitarian spirit and good fortune emanating from Chen Geng are but a thread, then what he possesses is boundless, like an endless ocean.

He was the Red Emperor of the South, and also the Fire Emperor of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors—Shun!

All the safety and dangers of the human race occur under His watchful eye, and Chen Geng's actions have crossed His bottom line.

He knew, of course, that it was a contest between the Western Buddhist sect and the demon race, and that the Heavenly Court also had a share involved, so he couldn't act rashly.

This could even involve wars across three eras, which the human race cannot afford to sustain.

But if things go too far and cross the threshold, the human race is not without its backers.

"Someone come here."

Emperor Shun issued an order: "Go to the underworld and ask King Yama to be lenient and temporarily settle those souls in Fengdu City."

"I think that demon prince of Xiniu Hezhou will reset cause and effect sooner or later."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not a good idea. Fengdu City is already full."

The priest said cautiously, "I heard that the underworld is already overwhelmed with work."

"How could they be too busy? They just want some benefits."

The Crimson Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Go to Pingyang Mountain and fetch a stick of incense from Emperor Cheng to send down to him. Let the Ghost King of Fengdu give me some face."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After the God of Virtue left, Emperor Shun rose and looked once more at Xiniu Hezhou.

"You are indeed better at strategic maneuvering, but in the end, it still comes down to strength."

Emperor Shun murmured, "If I could defeat the Western Religion, how could I allow them to use humanity as a bargaining chip? Your calamity has only just begun."

"How will this demon race end up?"

He could barely see clearly anymore.

In the Western Buddhist temple, the chanting of sutras at the Great Thunder Temple was much quieter.

After witnessing the scenes in Xiniu Hezhou, Guanyin Bodhisattva relaxed somewhat.

"This demon race seems to have a way to survive even in the face of death."

The angry Buddha stopped chanting and said to those around him, "Today, under the great sun, too many people who believed in our Buddhist kingdom have died, and the remaining humans have actually colluded with demons."

"In this way, the flourishing of Buddhism will face greater obstacles and may lead to unforeseen changes."

What was once a fixed number has become variable.

The Buddhas could not help but feel uneasy.

"This seventh prince of the demon race has some tricks up his sleeve."

Manjushri Bodhisattva sighed, "In that case, it seems we must get rid of him as soon as possible."

"Indeed, this child has already aroused public outrage among humans. We cannot allow the reputation of the demon race to be further damaged. I wonder which high-ranking Buddha is willing to take this child's life?"

The Southern Buddha's gaze swept around: "The flourishing of Buddhism is another meritorious deed."

"This child is not easy to kill."

Just then, the Ancient Buddha Dipankara slowly spoke: "The Supreme Sage has decreed that those above the Golden Immortal level must not directly harm him."

"Furthermore, this boy can command the true fire of the sun. Ordinary people cannot defeat him, and even extraordinary people would find it difficult to last more than a few rounds."

He took a lamp from his side and said, "I cannot act, but this precious lamp can block the true fire of the sun and break his supernatural powers. Who is willing to give it a try?"

This lamp... is a primordial spiritual treasure!

The lamp of the Dipankara Buddha is no ordinary lamp; how could He be willing to take it out?

"Wow!"

The Sleeping Arhat opened his eyes and cried out, "I beg the Ancient Buddha to give me a chance to witness the true power of the Spiritual Treasure."

"Can."

Dipankara Buddha nodded, and the Sleeping Arhat took the precious lamp and flew into the sky.

"With this precious lamp, the Seventh Prince is doomed."

The Arhat Subduing Tiger's eyes flashed with anger: "The sins of slaughtering countless lives are grave, and this calamity is to befall us."

"Hard to say."

But then Maitreya, the Buddha of Joy, smiled and said, "That Seventh Prince has an extraordinary background and is no ordinary person. The Sleeping Arhat has little chance of winning."
