From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

"The other thing is the immortal artifact you're looking for, Father... The demons who escaped Hell have all gone into hiding, concealing their existence, but they've activated the demonic energy left behind on the immortal artifact, wanting the little demon dragon to collect them, and then use the Monkey King as a vessel to create the ninth demon—"

At this point, Jiang Liu withdrew his insightful gaze, "It seems to be used against me."

"oops!"

The old man shouted, "We absolutely cannot let the ninth demon appear, or the world will be thrown into chaos!"

"Dad, now that the demonic energy has been activated, it will be much easier for you to search, right?" Chen Long was unaware that his father's collection of books had been stolen and hoped that his father could create a magic to search for the demonic energy in advance.

Snapped!

However, the first to respond to Chen Long was his father's finger, which tapped him on the forehead, and he shouted, "Dad's magic book has been stolen, so we can't study the formulas anymore!"

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Chen Long looked worried, but he didn't know what to do.

"I can try to cook up the recipe."

Jiang Liu volunteered, "I've seen my father try magic before, so I understand the general principles. I might as well try out the potion-making techniques of this world."

"Alright, you can use Dad's lab directly."

The old man trusted Jiang Liu, and then gave instructions, "Tru, you will go to Japan with me tomorrow to investigate information about the Ghost Mask."

Chen Long, you and Xiao Yu stay in the shop and wait for Jiang Liu to find the location of the demonic energy. Then, go with him to collect the demonic energy.

We must collect all those masks shrouded in black mist and the demonic energy of the eight great demons; we cannot allow them to fall into the hands of evil!

As one of the representatives of righteousness, from the perspective of world evolution, the old man should be constantly fighting against the black qi and its representatives, which accelerates the evolution of the Earth's weekly weather pattern.

But as a human being, Dad clearly understood that if this approach were followed, then humanity would truly be nothing more than a series of numbers in the process of world evolution.

therefore.

He, along with all the great sorcerers and Saints throughout history, would not destroy the dark energy, but rather seal it away, so that while the dark energy existed, it could not cause trouble, thus allowing humanity to continue to develop and progress.

But Jiang Liu knew that as long as the law of yin and yang balance remained unchanged, the black energy would eventually erupt, leading to the emergence of an extremely powerful black energy demon.

Then, the righteous forces also created an entity capable of rivaling it. The contest between the two sides... may not destroy the Earth, but the existing ecological species, including humans, will likely undergo a major reshuffle.

"Lu Jin, Duanmu Ying, tomorrow you will go with your father and Tru to find those flower cards."

Jiang Liu also instructed the two, "If you can't solve the problem, contact me directly."

That night.

Xiaoyu got up, went to the toilet, and was about to go back to her room to sleep when she passed by Jiang Liu's room and heard a discussion inside. She couldn't help but listen closely.

"Brother Jiang, with your current abilities, dealing with those demons shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Lu Jin, with her keen senses, noticed that the audience outside the door had taken their places and immediately spoke, revealing a tone of doubt as she had done in previous rehearsals.

"Although the eight demons are special cases, and can be considered as a kind of 'innate deity', in the final analysis they are just a matter of energy. As long as one understands Yin and Yang, comprehends the Eight Trigrams, and understands the principles of the Nine Apertures and Eight Meridians, it is not difficult to truly kill them."

But the problem is that the laws of this world are incomprehensible.

Destroying one demon only leads to the birth of an even more powerful one. This may be the fundamental reason why the Eight Immortals chose to seal away the eight great demons instead of destroying them.

Jiang Liu replied, "I haven't personally seen the Eight Immortals of this world, but they must have been similar to us, understanding the principles of cultivating one's own life and destiny; otherwise, they could never have been called 'immortal'..."

# Chapter 814 "Planning" (Part 2)

"Then what are you going to do?"

Duanmu Ying lay back on Jiang Liu's soft bed, legs crossed, "Where we are, war rages, and we're traveling through time—"

I hope to find a future time and space, to find more advanced equipment, to accelerate my research, and thus improve my own methods so that I can cure all diseases in the world;

Lu Jin simply wanted to find a gift from another world because his grandfather's birthday was approaching.

you···

"By the way, what brings you here?"

"Didn't I use the Hetu and Luoshu to help you achieve your goals?"

Jiang Liu was slightly speechless. "But the reason we've been transported to this world is most likely because the demon dragon cast a spell on the Panku Box, causing the seven sealed demons to be released—"

The Yin-Yang balance principle cannot directly create one or more mages on the righteous side who can directly fight against the eight great demons.

The spacetime fluctuations caused by our time travel were captured by this world...

Although it was an accident, out of a sense of helping others, we couldn't just leave like that.

"so?"

Lu Jin asked.

"Therefore, we should learn from Zhuanxu and find a way to 'sever the connection between heaven and earth' in this world. We must not only eliminate the demons, but also completely shatter the balance between righteousness and darkness."

Jiang Liu chuckled and said, "In this world, the roles of justice and evil are played out time and time again. In ancient times, the two sides fought each other, and each side had its winners and losers."

Until the Eight Immortals appeared out of nowhere and sealed the eight great demons, the balance of Yin and Yang was restored. However, they, as well as later Lope, all encountered a bug: instead of eliminating the demons, they chose to seal them away.

Thus, the dark energy still exists, while the righteous energy, in order to balance it, will continue to expand—that is, increase the human population.

Human vitality is Qi, and the Qi of those who follow order and have kind hearts can be judged as righteousness in this world.

However, due to the chaos of humanity, righteousness can also turn into black energy due to human depravity, but since most people abide by the order, this share is extremely small.

It can be said that since the demon was sealed away, the Eight Immortals disappeared without a trace, and the Holy Lord returned to the mortal world, the yin and yang of this world have been out of balance.

Do you know why the Holy Lord has been resurrected in this particular era?

Because there are so many law-abiding and kind-hearted people, the amount of righteousness represented by one person is very small, but when considered as a whole, the quantity is enormous.

Xiaoyu, who was outside the door, heard about the influence of the Yin-Yang balance law on humans and demons again, and couldn't help but gasp.

On reading and learning —

She found it boring and was completely uninterested in what the teacher was teaching in class, only one step away from the "level" of letting things go in one ear and out the other.

But when it comes to interest in magic, demons, and related topics—

Even the most obscure and difficult-to-understand texts can be grasped to some extent.

Not to mention that Jiang Liu deliberately dissected the content in order to make the "protagonist" understand.

"Think about it, humanity will definitely continue to develop in the future, but the overall growth of righteousness will inevitably lead to the growth of dark energy, thus giving birth to even more powerful demons."

When Xiaoyu pressed her ear to the door again, Lu Jin finally asked, "What should we do? Should we keep the human population at a certain level?"

"Don't be ridiculous. If we really did that, then there would be no difference between humans and demons." Even though they had rehearsed it beforehand, Duanmu Ying was still unimpressed.

"Simply put, the weekly weather pattern of this world has existed since its inception. The black energy and the righteous energy counterbalance each other and reach a balance. Humanity's development is based on the premise that the black energy is sealed and suppressed."

Jiang Liu concluded, "If that were all, it would be fine. But this world is in a balance of Yin and Yang. When the human race grows to a certain size, that is, when the amount of righteous energy exceeds that of black energy, then the black energy will rebound. Those black energy representatives that have been sealed and suppressed, that is, the demons, will break through the seal in unexpected ways—"

Then, righteous wizards will emerge from among humanity and defeat them once again.

And so it goes.

Duanmu Ying asked, "Isn't this better?"

Xiaoyu, who was outside the door, also had the same idea.

"Justice triumphs over evil, and heroes are praised. It seems good, but don't you think this war is going to never end?"

Jiang Liu countered, "The resurgence of demons could lead to heavy casualties among ordinary people!"

The mere resurrection of the puppet monkey king caused destruction to an entire street. This was because the monkey king had been imbued with extra magic by the world's wizards at its creation, ensuring that no matter how much mischief it caused, various unforeseen events would prevent it from truly harming human lives…

Demons don't have a 'setting' like the Monkey King.

Previously, Xiaoyu, Chenlong, Old Man, and Tru successfully sealed away the demon, but what about the future?

As long as the struggle between righteousness and evil continues, they and their descendants will never be able to make the choices they truly desire!

Just like his father, who runs an antique shop because he loves the business, but his tireless efforts to combat demons, seemingly making him a mage chosen by righteousness, are in reality nothing more than a victim of manipulation...

I suddenly have a better understanding of why those eight immortal gods abandoned their duties, sealed the demons in hell, and then left this world.

Cultivation is merely a long and seemingly endless struggle between righteous and dark energies. If this struggle had meaning, it would be fine, but the struggle itself is meaningless; it is merely guided by the yin-yang balance law under the cyclical nature of the universe. It has little inherent significance for humanity, and even its positive effects on humanity only occurred after Lopec exploited a bug in the interaction between righteous and dark energies.

Lu Jin feigned sudden realization and asked, "But, after the connection between heaven and earth is severed, won't the magic disappear?"

"No, it's not that easy. It's just that it's not easy to cast magic as easily as Dad does. It requires a person's mind, realm, and cultivation to reach an extremely high level."

Jiang Liu replied, "Just like us, only by persevering can we attain enlightenment."

[Jiang Liu and his friends want to destroy magic?!]

Xiaoyu summarized, feeling alarmed, but then thought, "No, it's not about eliminating magic, but about solving all the problems with demons and dark energy!"

magic···

It can still be achieved through training, but the difficulty will likely increase several levels.

Should I tell Dad?

Xiaoyu pondered.

Lu Jin then asked the same question: "Why didn't you discuss it with your father?"

"We need to observe for a while longer."

Jiang Liu sensed Xiao Yu's unease outside the door and said calmly, "Through understanding his previous handling of demons, I can feel that his ideals are the same as ours. We all hope to end the struggle between righteousness and darkness forever. However, he is ultimately one of the mages judged by the righteousness of this world, and we must consider the possibility that his will may be influenced by righteousness."

We are visitors from other dimensions. Although we have been chosen by the righteous energy of this world, we cultivate ourselves, control our destiny, and our thoughts and will will not be affected by the righteous energy.

Dark energy can corrupt, and conversely, righteous energy can also influence the human spirit… Therefore, one must be cautious.

# Chapter 815 Taking the Initiative!

"Dark energy tempts people to depravity with its power, while righteous energy can also influence people's hearts..."

Xiaoyu murmured outside the door.

"who?"
