I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

"The Demon Realm has descended upon the Western Continent. Countless demons have slaughtered all living beings. They will eventually attack this region. You must take precautions."

Lin Yi was enjoying the killing spree when someone suddenly sent a message, and he quickly stopped.

Upon learning that the Demon Realm had descended, Lin Yi was not too worried.

He had anticipated this; it was just a matter of time.

Demons are immortal and can be resurrected after being killed, but the cultivation gained through the Demon-Slaying Manual will not be reduced.

Lin Yi, on the contrary, thought this was a good thing.

Doesn't this mean he has an extra way to gain experience?

Moreover, these monsters will respawn after they die.

If he had discovered this secret right after his rebirth, he might already be the Sword God of Shili Slope...

It's not too late now.

Lin Yi casually killed two immortals who were trying to escape, thus bringing today's massacre to a close.

Ji Fa ran fast, and Lin Yi didn't immediately give chase. The giant snake's sudden arrival meant things weren't as simple as he thought...

Chapter 708 The Power to Choose One's Fate

Xiqi is no longer a threat, so Lin Yi has not yet decided to exterminate them.

Keeping a Ji Fa alive is also for fishing purposes, and perhaps it will attract more celestial beings to descend to the mortal realm to provide support.

If Ji Fa is killed, the Immortal Realm will have no one to support them, which will put them in a very awkward position.

So Lin Yi let him go for the time being and allowed the remnants of the army to retreat before going to talk to the giant snake.

The Great Serpent was also very confused when she saw that Lin Yi had let Ji Fa go, but there were many things Lin Yi did that she couldn't understand, so she didn't ask. She just talked about the current tense situation.

"The Heavenly Dao has been severely damaged twice and is no longer able to protect you. Compared to the Immortal Realm, the Demon Realm is the greatest threat to the human world."

True demons of the demon race are immortal and indestructible; it is unknown how they can be killed, and they can reside in the bodies of mortals.

If we don't take care to control it, it won't be long before the entire human world becomes a hunting ground for demons.

Lin Yi, however, said optimistically, "Don't be nervous. Demons feed on human desires and won't exterminate people."

Just like in the celestial realm, they treat people like livestock. Normal farmers wouldn't slaughter their own pigs or cattle indiscriminately.

Orochi: "..."

What you said seems to make sense, but something still feels off.

She decided to stop playing mind games with Lin Yi and asked directly, "What do you plan to do?"

"What plans could we possibly have? We'd just have to deal with whatever comes our way, fight it out!"

Lin Yi is already quite powerful, so he is naturally not afraid of a battle.

The giant snake looked at him with pity.

Even now, despite having created numerous miracles, Lin Yi's fate remains unchanged.

She knew that Lin Yi must have put in a lot of effort to defeat the Immortal Realm.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't change his fate.

If the demon realm hadn't appeared, he might have miraculously defeated the immortal realm.

pity……

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"

The snake's eyes held a strange look, which alerted Lin Yi to something amiss.

I just won a great battle. He wiped out all the gods in the mortal realm, except for a few familiar ones.

Moreover, even if the Heavenly Court sends down immortals of the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors level to the mortal realm next time, he is confident he can still put up a fight.

Perhaps only the Great Celestial Venerable is a bit difficult to defeat.

Why is the giant snake not happy at all?

The great serpent couldn't answer that question either. She could only shake her head and say, "Before the Heavenly Dao went into slumber, it asked me to bring you a message."

"What news?"

"Your wish has been fulfilled; it's time to go and give thanks."

"wish?"

Lin Yi was completely bewildered. What wish? Where should he go to fulfill it?

Seeing Lin Yi's bewildered look, the giant snake knew he had completely forgotten and could only remind him further: "Nuwa Temple."

Lin Yi: "..."

I wished for a child, but where is the child?

Could it be that Yan Qingqiu is pregnant?

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat as he considered this possibility.

After all, Lin Yi himself had not left the palace in the past seven years, and his married life with Yan Qingqiu had been harmonious.

It's not surprising that she has children.

Lin Yi's mood suddenly became somewhat complicated.

Actually, he's not ready to be a father yet.

He made the wish to have a child only because Lingyi wanted a child, not because he himself wanted to raise a child.

Unexpectedly, Lingyi never conceived before her death, and now that Lingyi has disappeared without a trace, her wish has suddenly come true.

Thinking of Lingyi, Lin Yi felt quite sad.

Fortunately, he defeated the Immortal Realm and will soon be able to go and find Lingyi again.

Once everything is completely over, he will definitely find Lingyi!

However, the most urgent task at present is to go and restore the Nuwa Temple.

Even though the great serpent brought it up, it was still the will of Heaven that conveyed the message.

If he doesn't take it seriously, the Goddess Nuwa might get angry.

However, given the current circumstances, it is not appropriate to hold a grand ceremony to fulfill one's vow.

Lin Yi didn't want anyone with ulterior motives to discover that he had a child.

So he left a clone in the city to guard it, and went to the Nuwa Temple alone.

He traveled all the way to the Nuwa Temple, only to find that other people were also worshipping there.

Out of politeness, he did not go in, but he could hear conversations coming from inside.

One of the voices sounded very familiar; wasn't that Yan Qingqiu?

"The time for you to attain enlightenment has come. Kill him, and you will be freed from the tribulation of love, and complete the final step towards enlightenment."

Why have you hesitated for so long and still haven't made a decision?

This voice sounds a bit like the goddess Nuwa.

Lin Yi was startled. Wasn't Yan Qingqiu's love tribulation the same person as him?

Is Nuwa teaching Yan Qingqiu to kill her husband?

Lin Yi's initial joy at Yan Qingqiu's pregnancy vanished instantly, and his reverence for Nuwa diminished considerably.

Inside the temple, Yan Qingqiu's excuse came through: "The time is not right yet; he still has his own unfinished business."

Nuwa laughed upon hearing this: "There may be a million reasons, but you cannot deceive your own heart."

You don't want to kill him, and you're even willing to give up the opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Yan Qingqiu remained silent.

She was with Lin Yi initially to achieve enlightenment through love, but over the years as husband and wife, she unknowingly developed genuine feelings for him.

Nuwa laughed and said, "When you truly hesitate, that's when you've truly fallen into the tribulation of love. Your tribulation truly begins now."

Yan Qingqiu smiled bitterly. With her unparalleled wisdom, how could she not understand this principle?

Since it's a tribulation of love, it must be because one has fallen in love to be considered a tribulation.

She had been thinking too simply.

If she were to marry Lin Yi, even if she were to fall in love, she wouldn't feel any pain even if she killed him. How could that be called a love tribulation?

When she was truly moved, she couldn't bring herself to kill him.

Compared to him, everything else in the world seems insignificant.

"When love arises, calamity begins; when love ends, calamity ceases. You should think this through carefully."

"I understand, I will think about it carefully."

Yan Qingqiu took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind.

"Go, and come find me again on the day you attain enlightenment."

"As Your Majesty commands."

Yan Qingqiu bowed respectfully and then walked out of the Nuwa Temple.

Lin Yi did not hide, but Yan Qingqiu walked past him as if he hadn't seen him at all, and hurriedly left.

Then, Lin Yi heard Nuwa's voice again: "She can't see you, and she doesn't know you're here."

"Is Your Highness deliberately putting on this show for me, trying to drive a wedge between my husband and me?"

Lin Yi was very dissatisfied.

He entered the temple and looked at the statue of Nuwa, but he wasn't as fascinated as before.

If you harbor evil thoughts, even the most beautiful face will only disgust him.

Nuwa didn't take Lin Yi's rudeness to heart, and her voice remained gentle.
