I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

My heart was inevitably touched... In fact, even now, the existence of the first sect master of the Heavenly Demon Sect remains a mystery. All the terrifying things about him are like taboos, buried along with countless inheritances along with that broken era.

Later generations could only deduce from the information left behind that the other party was exceptionally talented. As the leader of the righteous path, he was forced to the brink of demonic possession in order to save the demoness, which shocked an entire era.

After the first sect leader disappeared, the Heavenly Demon Sect experienced ups and downs over time, eventually becoming unremarkable.

Therefore... seeing the mysterious presence on Huang Quan's body inevitably shocked the Devouring Emperor, especially the other party's aura... which was too ancient, making him think of these things.

"Whether it's yes or no, what does the answer to this question matter?" the voice said leisurely.

"If you lived through that era, you should understand... the impact of that demonic calamity," the Devouring Emperor said earnestly.

"Does the benefactor wish to see a similar calamity occur again in this life?" "A demonic calamity?"

The voice laughed, "That's not some kind of demonic tribulation."

"It's just that someone couldn't stand seeing someone important to them being bullied, so they took the opportunity to end an era."

"He's just a fool who talks about the world and all living beings all the time, only to find in the end that his eyes are filled with her."

"As for those broken traditions and those who perished, weren't they just asking for trouble?"

"Just because of the so-called 'fate of turmoil,' one can arbitrarily end the life and death of an innocent person? And all this while claiming it's for the sake of the world and all living beings."

"In the end, even that idiot couldn't stand it anymore."

"Their courage to risk their lives one after another is truly admirable."

"It's laughable, but the 'dark turmoil' predicted has actually begun."

"That fool fought his way out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​bones; the blood beneath his sword stained the sky crimson."

"So the question is: was the prophecy wrong?"

"The Dark Turmoil has indeed come, but without this prophecy, the 'righteous men' of the world would not have taken action against that woman, and naturally there would have been no Dark Turmoil."

"So, is this a prophecy, or a fabricated charge?"

The voice spoke calmly, but the words it uttered caused the Devouring Emperor's pupils to shrink little by little.

"But... what I saw was indeed quite remarkable. Her existence did cause a great deal of turmoil, I cannot deny that."

Given these facts, do you still insist on your own ideas?

Then the voice added a sentence, and as it said this, a faint killing intent appeared in the voice.

The Devouring Emperor remained silent for a long time before suddenly speaking: "Since that's the case, you should understand that handing her over to me would actually be the best choice. Hiding her under the guise of Buddhism can help her avoid many calamities and let time prove everything. This is also a kind of mercy to the world."

"But for her, staying by his side is a better choice," the voice said.

"You are doing this for the benefit of the world, but... what does it have to do with the world and her?"

"There is only one person in this world who truly loves her," the voice said leisurely.

“Such reasoning is naturally beyond the comprehension of a monk like you. However… while you worry that calamity will befall the world, others worry that this calamity will harm her. So, in a sense, there is no conflict between these two objectives.”

“Before that calamity comes, there will always be a way. Someone has been working hard for this, and he has given everything to get this opportunity.”

The Devouring Emperor thought for a moment and said, "But Your Excellency should also understand that the majority of people are worried about this calamity coming to the world."

"Moreover... not everyone is willing to use this gentle method like I have."

“I can see the strangeness about her, and naturally many others can see it too. People around her may even be ‘accidentally killed’ because they are tainted by her aura.”

"She's been hiding, she's been avoiding us."

"But what if one day we can no longer hide?" the Devouring Emperor asked.

But the voice did not reply; it simply gazed at him silently.

The Devouring Emperor also fell silent, because he understood that the other party's lack of response was itself a reply.

Because he had already answered that question before.

Some calamities, because they are unknown, may not necessarily kill people, but some calamities will definitely kill people.

The Devouring Emperor gave a bitter smile, then suddenly sighed, "If one day you really can't hide any longer, before you take action, you can take my relic to 'Golden Mountain Temple,' where you may find some protection."

"Why?" the voice asked.

He wasn't asking why they should go to Jinshan Temple, but rather he was somewhat surprised that the Devouring Emperor had suddenly changed his mind and said these things.

"Compared to the unknown calamities, this humble monk is more worried about the known calamities. If you were to draw your sword, the common people would face another ten years of calamity."

"In the end, I have been concerned for all living beings. Since I cannot resolve your obsessions, all I can do is try my best to postpone this murderous intent. If immortality is involved, all living beings will suffer."

The Devouring Emperor said calmly, "Since I have lost, I should pay the price."

The voice muttered something again, as if it had thought of something.

"You monk, your nature isn't so bad after all."

Then add one more sentence.

The Devouring Emperor said lightly, "A monk does not lie, even though I have been expelled from Buddhism for a long time."

"But, it's never too late to turn back."

After he finished speaking, his body burst into flames and vanished like ashes, leaving only a golden relic floating in mid-air.

"All things are impermanent, all is suffering. All phenomena are without self, and Nirvana is bliss."

The last thought of Zen also vanished with the wind.

Chapter 126, yes, yes, yes.

Huang Quan remained silent throughout the entire conversation between the voice and the Devouring Emperor.

He listened to what the two were saying in a daze, but it was as if something had been added to his mind. The fragmented pieces were pieced together, making him understand a lot, but in the end, there was still one last complete line connecting everything.

The voice remained silent for a while, sensing the passing of the Devouring Emperor, before speaking again: "This guy is done. Now it's our turn. There's not much I can tell you. You've probably guessed some things. I can tell you definitively that this isn't the first time you've existed in this world."

"So what exactly did I go through before, and what did I do in the end?"

Huang Quan was not surprised at all, and calmly asked.

The voice and the conversation with the Devouring Emperor were not only meant for the Devouring Emperor, but also for him.

For example, the first demonic tribulation, and him and her many years ago.

By this point, the boy could certainly understand why that scene felt both familiar and strange to him.

That wasn't a scene he imagined out of thin air, but a real memory he had experienced.

Moreover, with this information, the boy's many chaotic thoughts suddenly calmed down.

He had always felt uneasy because he thought he had smuggled himself in, but now that he thinks about it... was it all a scheme set up by his past self?

It's just that I've confined my current self within that framework.

For some reason, although he was reborn into this life, some of his memories were sealed. At the critical moment of life and death, he encountered certain stimuli, and that's when he truly "woke up".

However, it was also because of this that he began to gain new power, enabling him to break through the encirclement and control of those subsequent situations.

As for why he woke up in this life, Huang Quan knew very well... it was for the goal that the voice spoke of.

"I can't explain these things because of certain limitations. You'll have to find out for yourself. After all, my abilities are not what they used to be, enough to break those limitations."

"Your abilities don't seem like what I used to have? Aren't you 'my lingering obsession'?"

The voice said helplessly, "Of course not, or rather, you are not him either, but a 'person' with a completely new self, seemingly the same as the past."

"However, this is not something you should worry about right now, because as long as you keep getting stronger, you will eventually be able to uncover those secrets. You are not strong enough right now, so even if you know them, it won't be of much use."

Huang Quan was silent for a moment, then asked, "An Ran, what is that?"

He had always thought that his time travel was related to this 'Anran', but now it seems... Anran's existence has another meaning.

"I can't give a specific answer to that either, but I can say that you paid a high price to leave yourself with this 'peace,' and it can also help you regain some things from the past."

"Finding things from the past?"

"This involves some taboos, which I can't explain explicitly, but it's quite useful in a way, isn't it? Just consider it a cheat code you've left for yourself for now?"

"...Since it's a cheat code I left for myself, why are there so many troublesome settings and limitations?" Huang Quan couldn't help but ask.

"After all, you shouldn't have appeared in this world in the first place, and there is some kind of being that doesn't want you to regain your power so easily."

"And you've used it for so long, you should have realized that part of the key to using this power is luck. Those connections of luck are also the key to stabilizing your existence. You will understand the specific explanation later."

"As for those things... that we want to make things convenient for you, it's not that simple, so we can only find loopholes for you to exploit."

"And you actually tried your best to leave yourself some benefits, such as the Crimson Peak Sword and the Immortal Shield..."

"You shouldn't have gotten it so early."

"Because it carries a part of the power of your past."

The voice said, "Is this only a portion of the power?"

Huang Quan asked. When he used this power just now, Huang Quan could certainly feel its formidable strength.

"Ah."

"However, even with all our strength... we still couldn't solve that girl's problem back then?" Huang Quan suddenly said.

Even in her prime, she couldn't completely resolve the tribulations she was bound to, which made Huang Quan even more curious about what she had experienced in the past.

"Are you scared? Even though you didn't solve it, you didn't lose last time. And if we do it again, do you really think you can't win?" The voice just chuckled.

Huang Quan said calmly, "Of course not. I just don't understand why I failed to win last time."

"Hmm, this way of speaking, where you even use yourself as a stepping stone to show off, is truly worthy of you..." the voice said.

Huang Quan ignored the teasing, but the boy's gaze suddenly turned somewhat complicated as he looked at the girl who was standing there dumbfounded.

The petite girl outside seemed to be overlapping with the image of the girl in my memory.

Actually, even now, there are still many things he doesn't understand, and the secrets surrounding this girl are one of them.

But it seems that I won't be able to find out the specific secret for the time being.

Otherwise, as the most important thing, even if he didn't ask, the voice would probably bring it up on its own.

Thinking of this, Huang Quan continued to ask, "Because of her special characteristics?"

As the information gradually became clearer, Huang Quan was soon able to figure it out...
