From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"You're from another Earth?"

Xiaoyu's eyes widened. "Cool~ Uncle Long, can I visit another Earth sometime in the future?"

"no!"

Chen Long refused sternly.

Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying don't look very old, less than twenty years old, or even underage, yet they all wield power beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

He couldn't even imagine what the average combat strength of people on another Earth would be, so how could he let Xiaoyu go there with peace of mind?

"It's my father's honor!"

Even after learning that Jiang Liu and the others came from another Earth, the old man still stubbornly regarded Jiang Liu as an immortal god, a savior summoned from another world by righteousness!

For some time afterward, Jiang Liu, Lu Jin, and Duanmu Ying learned the names, abilities, corresponding gossip, and which immortal god had sealed them into hell: Holy Lord, Zhou Lan, Bo Gang, Xi Mu, Ba Sha, Zhong Su, Di Kui, and Xiao Feng.

They also learned a crucial piece of information.

The principle of Yin-Yang balance.

In other words, the dark energy and righteous energy in this world are always in a state of balance! If the entity occupying the position of dark energy disappears or dies, then an even more powerful demon will appear!

Similarly, if the representative of the righteous side dies, then an even more powerful righteous mage or warrior will appear.

"Yin-Yang balance?"

Lu Jin was surprised, not expecting that there would be such outrageous rules in this time and space. "In our understanding, the definition of Yin-Yang balance cannot be considered correct."

It should be about the harmony of Yin and Yang, the balance of Yin and Yang, so that there is Yang within Yin and Yin within Yang, thus forming Taiji.

If we consider the world itself as a practitioner, with its opposing forces of righteous and malevolent energies locked in a relentless struggle, this spiraling ascent could easily lead the world astray.

"this--"

The old man had never considered such a question before, and for a moment he was at a loss. Finally, he sighed and asked, "Doesn't your Earth have the law of yin and yang balance?"

"Although there is a group of wicked people, they basically can't cause any trouble."

Take our Shenzhou as an example. There's a group called Quanxing who abuse their abilities, but overall they can't compete with the major righteous forces. The reason they exist is probably because they can balance the conflicts of interest between the major righteous forces... right?

In her spare time, Duanmu Ying didn't just spend all her time in the library basement. She would also attend classes in other colleges, such as Sociology, at Jiang Liu's suggestion.

Therefore, I have a superficial understanding of why the major righteous forces in China did not unite to wipe out the Quanxing Sect.

Upon hearing this, the old man felt both envious and sorrowful.

What is enviable is that the world Jiang Liu and his companions live in has no demons; what is lamentable is that, in any world, conflict between people is the norm.

"Speaking of which, since the eight great demons have been sealed away, shouldn't one or more even more powerful demons have emerged? Humanity should have always been in a struggle against demons, and shouldn't have developed into the modern society we have now?" Jiang Liu steered the conversation back on track and asked the question that concerned him most.

"Perhaps it's because of the Holy Lord."

The old man pushed up his small glasses on the bridge of his nose. "He somehow tore open the seal of hell and returned to the human world, resuming his rule. He also used the demonic energy sealed in the Pure Yang Sword to create a brand new demon, namely his son: Demon Little Dragon."

One more thing:

The Holy Lord was subjected to an extraction spell by Lope, which divided the magic within him into twelve talismans, each representing one of the twelve zodiac animals, while he himself became a moving statue.

But he's still alive, so he still occupies the largest share of the dark energy, only he's unable to move...

in short.

Nine hundred years ago, a Saint named Lope exploited a bug that caused the endless spiraling struggle between the dark and righteous energies, thus providing ample time for humanity to reproduce and for civilization to develop.

"So, Father, what are your plans for all seven demons that have been born?"

Jiang Liu inquired, "Seal them all and send them back to Hell? Or, like the Holy Lord, turn them into statues?"

"Dad was thinking of the latter."

The old man laughed and said, "Perfect timing. I obtained a lot of ancient spells from another mage who occupies a share of the dark energy. Among them is an extraction spell that can turn demons into statues similar to the Holy Lord's in the past, trapping their souls inside."

Disadvantages: It requires people to constantly guard the demon statue and the talismans extracted from it to prevent anyone from abusing the talismans or resurrecting the demon.

Benefits: In addition to being able to use the talismans extracted from the demon's body when necessary (without side effects), it can also generate more righteous people on the side of justice, and even has a high probability of greatly improving the science and technology, magic cultivation, etc. of the human side in a short period of time.

The statue of the Holy Lord alone has brought prosperity to humanity for nine hundred years. If all eight demons were to become statues, Old Man could only dream of how prosperous and flourishing humanity would be in the future!

The old man talked about the balance of yin and yang, but in reality, he firmly stood on the side of humanity.

Without him.

He is a human being.

Not a demon.

Therefore, as the disciple of the Grand Mage, Father would do anything that benefited the entire human race.

After realizing he couldn't seal the other seven demons (excluding the Holy Lord) back to Hell in a short time, he began to think about how to hang those seven demons on the wall!

# Chapter 796 "Conspiracy" (Part 1)

Brother Jiang, what do you think?

Lu Jin entered the group chat.

Jiang Liudao: "The Zhouqi (vital energy) system of this world has always existed. In the path of cultivation, there are deficiencies in internal self-cultivation. Considering the balance of Yin and Yang, I suspect that after sealing the eight great demons, the Eight Immortals deliberately erased this aspect of cultivation, because the stronger the righteous energy, the more the dark energy will increase..."

For the sake of human reproduction and survival, they are unlikely to be willing to treat humans as resources for the sake of the world's improvement.

If it were me, before I could resolve the principle of Yin-Yang balance, I might have done the same thing as the Eight Immortals, severing the cultivation of inner strength and life force.

Duanmu Ying: [It seems we can't instruct them on the path of self-cultivation. Otherwise, if it spreads, the balance between righteous and dark energy will be disrupted, and the world will likely descend into chaos, with only innocent ordinary people suffering.]

Did our world once have a weekly weather bureau that covered the entire globe?

Lu Jin spoke of the Zhou Tian system, saying, "If it weren't for myths and historical events like Gonggong's wrath at Buzhou Mountain, Nuwa patching up the sky, and Zhuanxu severing the connection between heaven and earth, our world might also have a disgusting law like 'yin-yang balance,' leading to a flawed path of cultivation..."

It seems that mages in this world can only use spells and potions to cast spells, or rather, magic may be for this reason.

I even suspect that some mages in this world possess self-cultivation techniques, but they understand the principle of balancing good and evil, and therefore do not practice them.

That's roughly it.

However, this development of "yin-yang balance" itself is problematic. It is likely that the ancient sages made mistakes when constructing the celestial sphere based on natural planets, which led to the difficulty in harmonizing yin and yang, resulting in the reality of the constant struggle between good and evil...

Jiang Liu seemed thoughtful, then changed the subject, "However, the weekly weather patterns of this world are worth studying."

Duanmu Ying asked in surprise: "Are you planning to create a global atmospheric system in our world someday?"

Jiang Liu said: "I don't have that kind of ability..."

You may not know that a planet itself is also an evolving "organism" with a more complex system than our human body.

In other words, from a macro perspective, our ancestors already understood the significance of the existence of humanity as a whole, which is also the ultimate goal of our spiritual practice—the unity of heaven and humanity.

This is absolutely to accelerate the process of Earth's evolution and create a suitable evolutionary process... The "Four Continents" energy pattern that once appeared in our area, and the "Yin-Yang balance" energy pattern of this Earth, both largely violate the principle of "harmony between man and nature".

However, understanding this process is also beneficial to our own spiritual practice.

After all, the human body itself is a world unto itself. Mutual verification yields results; choosing the good and following it, correcting the bad—perhaps this is the greatest gain that can be obtained across time and space.

Duanmu Ying also felt relieved and added, "[And those eight demons are definitely good material. If they really have gained intelligence, taken form, and become spirits, then they are truly worth studying, especially since each of them occupies one of the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Chaos.]"

Jiang Liu agreed, but also had some doubts: "It's the fact that they are filled with Yin Qi that makes me suspicious."

Even if yin and yang are in balance, a complete living being should not only have the yin aspect.

The relationship between the eight immortal deities, namely the Eight Immortals, and the eight great demons is definitely not as simple as the former sealing the latter into hell; they must have a much deeper connection...

At the same time.

The demon dragon arrived at the Holy Lord's palace, where it inscribed runes and chanted incantations in the arena, drawing magma from the ground. A vine resembling thorns meandered and grew from it, forming a transparent dragon egg at its top, nurturing a young evil dragon.

"Fire gives birth to dragons! Fire gives birth to dragons!"

The demon dragon chanted a spell, simple yet eerie, drawing upon the energy of heaven and earth and pouring it into the magma.

Afterwards, he mobilized the power of the dragon-shaped fire demonic energy within his body, spewing out a burst of intense flames that swirled around the dragon egg, continuously accelerating the gestation of the Holy Lord's new physical body.

"Roar!"

Inside the dragon egg, the young dragon grew rapidly, completing its growth in just three minutes.

With a swift movement of his arms, the Holy Lord burst through the eggshell, roared to the heavens, and cried out, "Chen Long! I'm resurrected!"

The demon Xiaolong, having extinguished the fire, felt his eyelids twitch. He thought to himself that this cheap father really "loved" Chen Long deeply, but he still stepped forward to congratulate him, saying, "Welcome back, my dear father!"

"Well done, my son!"

The Holy Lord praised him, then said, "However, the talismans formed from my divine power are still in District Thirteen; we must retrieve them!"

"Holy Lord!"

Just then, a man dressed in a red robe, resembling an emperor's subject, with four arms, a long face, blue skin, and long hair hanging down his back, descended from the sky.

Moon Demon - Cursed Blue.

"Congratulations, you have regained your physical body."

The moment Zhou Lan landed, an invisible gravitational force spread from his body, causing the surrounding dust to rise without wind and swirl around him, giving him a somewhat dignified appearance like the moon goddess.

"So it was the Demon Elder!"

Even without the talisman, the Holy Lord, now possessing a physical body, spoke with complete confidence when facing this demon leader.

Without him.

As a noble dragon and a demon wizard, even without the power of the twelve talismans, Shendu's physical strength is still among the best of the eight demons.

Aside from Bo Gang and Di Kui, the Holy Lord fears no one!

Although Zhou Lan possesses the power of gravity and is familiar with many ancient spells, he can only unleash his full combat potential in space.

On Earth, even now, with only half of its demonic energy remaining and most of its wisdom and memories worn away by Hell, a strong Earthling wielding a chicken talisman could easily contend with Zhou Lan.

Furthermore.

Lost memories cannot be restored, and wisdom can only be slowly restored over time by re-establishing dominance, relearning forgotten magic, or creating entirely new magic.
