Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

Loran took down Grell's Sword, which had shrunk to the size of an ordinary short sword, and simply swung it once.

The terrifying sword energy pierced through the void, accurately striking every visitor from another world. Whether it was Susanoo combined with Wood Release or the invincible Black Lightning Armor, they were all reduced to nothingness under the sword energy.

With a single step, Loran traversed an endless distance, arriving at Rain Village from the surface of the moon.

Looking at Loran, who was like a god, all the Rain Ninjas bowed their heads.

"Congratulations on your success, Lord Loran."

Loran clapped his hands, and a vast amount of life force was released, restoring all the wounded to health and even reviving the dead.

With a gentle flick of his wrist, the entire planet's magnetic field began to rotate, smoothing out the abnormal geomagnetism of the Rain Kingdom. From then on, the weather in the Rain Kingdom began to return to normal, and the accumulated abundant water vapor would flow into the Wind Kingdom in a natural cycle, allowing the climates of the two places to be balanced.

A colossal phantom of a golden tree stood atop the planet, transforming the cold, dark void of space surrounding it into a golden kingdom.

Loran's cyan-gold eyes of reincarnation gazed towards a higher dimension of the universe, where numerous strange spirits were expressing their will to him—some joyful, some curious, and some filled with fighting spirit.

Among them, Loran saw a somewhat familiar figure—the Otsutsuki—there was no mistake.

Loran chuckled. It seemed that this was the Otsutsuki god, Otsutsuki Shibai.

My path to enlightenment in this universe is closely related to the Otsutsuki clan. I wonder what this legend of the Otsutsuki clan thinks of me?

Is the other party no longer concerned about the Otsutsuki clan because they have ascended to a higher dimension, or do they want to fight me because of my karma with the Otsutsuki clan?

Loran is fearless! The Heavenly Demon fears no challenge.

Chapter 132 Ancient Chen Realm: Teaching Fox under the Moon

"Where shall I begin?" A magnetic voice rang out under the moonlight.

"Legend has it that in ancient times, all things were in a state of chaos and ambiguity. Civilization had not yet begun, and mankind was in a state of ignorance. It was not until the Suiren tribe, Youchao tribe, and Shennong tribe solved the three major problems of fire, shelter, and food that the light of civilization began to spread."

In ancient times, the earliest elves were born—the Ni.

People believe that everything has a spirit, which is the soul.

Ni was born from the naive desires of ancient humans.

Ni is an intangible being, the most primordial spirit.

Under this concept, humanity gave birth to the most primitive form of witchcraft—the art of communication with all things, that is, the art of communicating with Ni.

Humans worshipped nuns, and with this worship, nuns began to differentiate, giving rise to the first gods and demons.

The earliest demons were beings on par with gods, possessing magical powers and physical forms, and even having creation myths.

Ghosts and gods, ghosts and gods are on equal footing.

The only difference is that ghosts are more vicious and harm people more often, while gods both harm and save people.

In ancient times, humans existed using surnames from various tribes. Tribes practiced a system of walking marriage, and people only knew their mothers, not their fathers. In the more ancient era, large tribal alliances began to emerge, and these alliances elected a more powerful leader, known as the sovereign.

The sovereigns led their subordinates in conquest and expansion.

Humanity experienced its first population explosion, and vast new lands were opened up.

As the number of people increased, the ghosts and spirits became more powerful.

As the greed of the spirits grew ever greater, in order to prevent the spirits from bringing disaster to the tribal alliance, the tribal alliance had a group of shamans, and the supreme ruler was often the most powerful shaman.

These shamans communicated with spirits and even controlled them.

Until the first great conflict erupted between the spirits and humans, the spirits began to crave massive blood sacrifices. The spirits instigated war and craved offerings.

The spirits even attempted to establish their own world, a divine realm constructed from pure spiritual power.

Until the birth of the most powerful shaman among mankind, Tianfeng, the paramount leader of the Feathered People Tribe Alliance, he banished a group of the most mischievous ghosts and gods, sealing them along with their divine realm. He called the banished ghosts and the unbanned gods, thus creating the lowest level of the underworld prison.

The Middle Ages saw the birth of the first dynasty in human history to be ruled by a family—the Xia Dynasty.

The Xia dynasty was founded by Yao, the ruler of a large tribal alliance. Yao unified numerous tribal alliances and established the Xia dynasty.

At the same time, the Earthly Sovereign standardized sacrifices, stipulating that those who performed sacrifices were gods, and those who failed to perform sacrifices were ghosts. The Earthly Sovereign created the first celestial realm, which later generations called Earthly Sovereign Heaven.

The gods reside in the heavens and enjoy offerings, while the demons are banished to the wilderness, lose their power, and become the original nuns.

The Dihuang clan began to worship their ancestors as gods, and the ancestors' souls began to become part of the gods, just like nuns. Those whose families declined and lost their sacrifices also became ghosts.

At this time, heaven and earth communicated, humans and gods mingled, and the heavenly gods and the earthly emperor jointly ruled the world.

Later, the rulers of the Xia Dynasty plotted to become living gods. They did not want to enter the heavenly realm as souls after death to enjoy offerings, but rather to become living deities, immortal.

In their quest to become gods, they set their sights on Ni, which led to the gods and spirits joining forces to overthrow the Xia Dynasty, an event known as the first chaotic era of gods and spirits.

The Xia Dynasty of the Earthly Sovereign clan collapsed, and the Xuan Dynasty of the Northern Yan clan of the Yun surname began. In order to end the chaos caused by ghosts and gods, the Northern Yan clan first frantically slaughtered the rebellious ghosts and gods, and then continuously elevated the status of the ancestral spirits, replacing the ghosts and gods transformed from Ni with the ancestral spirits.

The Northern Yan clan inherited the Heavenly Realm of the Earthly Emperor clan, but they built a Heavenly Palace system on the foundation of the Earthly Emperor's Heaven.

The ancestral spirits and the original celestial gods are separated, with the ancestral spirits residing in the left celestial palace and the celestial gods residing in the right celestial palace.

During its middle period, the Northern Yan clan worshipped a Heavenly Emperor, namely the Emperor of the Heavenly Realm and the Emperor of the Heavenly Palace. This was the most ancient and powerful ancestral spirit worshipped by the Northern Yan clan.

The Heavenly Emperor, leading the ancestral spirits, subdued the primordial gods and established a complete divine rule, causing the primordial gods to begin their demise.

The gods, unwilling to perish, attempted to instigate another rebellion. Although they failed, it led to the unsealing of the Ghost Prison and the escape of the ghosts.

This rebellion severely weakened the Northern Yan clan, which was eventually replaced by the Winged Star clan of the Wa surname three hundred years later.

The Winged Star Clan did not establish a celestial palace, but instead established a yin realm.

After death, ancestors establish royal courts or burial sites in the underworld, which are closely connected to the living world.

Humans and gods began to be completely separated, and they only communicated through sacrifices in ordinary times.

After ruling for nearly a thousand years, the Wing Star Clan perished due to internal conflicts among warlords and regional governors.

Another chaotic era has begun, with warlords engaging in bloody struggles for power and territory, causing many spirits to lose their worship and become ghosts.

In order to gain power, the warlords vigorously promoted licentious and evil rituals, which revived the power of ghosts and gods.

This is also known as the Second Chaos of Ghosts and Gods.

During this barbaric and ignorant period, numerous religious sects began to emerge and grow.

These sects cooperated with warlords who coveted unification of the chaotic world. They joined forces and quickly grew powerful. Through mutual annexation, they formed the final six great states: Qin, Tang, Shi, Yu, Wei, and Shu.

Although the chaos caused by ghosts and gods was quelled, its pernicious influence lingered.

In this chaotic world, a group of people emerged who sought immortality and ascension to godhood, claiming to have inherited the legacy of the Earthly Sovereign. They were known as the Fangxian Dao, the precursor to the Daoist sect.

Because of the cheapness of human life and the suffering of the chaotic world, the people of Fangxiandao became obsessed with immortality and freedom. They did not care about politics or power; immortality and becoming a celestial being were their ultimate pursuits.

Later, a pair of cousins ​​named Zhang Pei and Zhang Ze were born in Shiguo. They became monks and studied under the famous immortal Bailong Laoren of Fangxian Dao.

After achieving mastery of the Dao, they did not, like the Fangxian Dao, make the pursuit of immortality their sole goal in life. Instead, their aim was to quell the chaos of the world and establish a stable divine order like that of the Dihuang Clan and the Beiyan Clan.

However, the two men had different ideas. Zhang Pei advocated for the establishment of an independent and autonomous Taiping Dao state, which became known as Taiping Dao.

Zhang Ze inherited more of the gentle philosophy of Fangxiandao and established Tianxindao. He advocated cooperating with these rulers and warlords to govern the country according to the philosophy of Tianxindao, while also advocating avoiding excessive involvement in the secular world and taking transcendence and immortality as the highest pursuit.

Later, Zhang Pei came to some chaotic areas in the gaps between the six kingdoms. These areas had not yet been incorporated into the rule of the six kingdoms and were still divided by warlords of all sizes. Zhang Pei preached in these chaotic places, raised followers, trained Taoist soldiers, and after thirty years of hard work, he swept away the various warlords and established the theocratic Taiping Dao Kingdom.

Zhang Ze arrived in the State of Yu and had a very pleasant conversation with the King of Yu. The King of Yu greatly admired Zhang Ze's ideas, so he appointed Zhang Ze as his national teacher, established the Tianxin Dao as the state religion, and spread the Tianxin Dao belief throughout the State of Yu.

Tianxin Dao also destroyed mountains and temples within Yu, severing the worship of ghosts and gods, thus purifying the domestic environment and restoring order. Yu was able to leap from the bottom of the six states to become a great power that could stand on equal footing with Qin and Tang, and suppress the three old brothers Shi, Shu, and Wei, which had split from Zhao.

The Heavenly Heart Way and the Way of Great Peace established rules, and from then on...

Spirits are those who are virtuous and whose spirits are praised by people, thus becoming gods.

The wicked obtain the sorrow and despair of people and become demons.

"The souls of men who receive sacrifices become gods, while those who do not become ghosts."

"From now on! You little things within the territory of Yu Kingdom will either join the Heavenly Heart Path and get a formal position, or at the very least, become a wandering cultivator or a heretic, picking up the scraps left by the Heavenly Heart Path, or at worst be branded as demons and heretics, and if you're not careful, someone will exorcise your demons!" The voice carried a terrifyingly wicked sense of humor.

"Sir, you're trying to scare us again!"

"Yes, yes, the gentleman is so mean, he always scares the children."

"I am so hungry!"

A group of little foxes sat chattering in a simple thatched school, while the teacher was a human dressed in strange robes.

In a corner of the school, an old fox, who was originally the teacher, was firmly bound to the ground by magic. Looking at the few silly little foxes who hadn't realized the problem yet, he sighed.

The old fox was the leader of the fox demons in this area. Fox demons are very intelligent, and the old fox believed that the reason why humans were powerful was because they knew how to teach their cubs. Therefore, the old fox imitated humans and established the Fox Hall to teach these young fox demons.

The old fox knew nothing of profound human knowledge; he hadn't read many serious books, but he'd devoured countless storybooks. One day, after reading a tale of a fox spirit who transformed into a beautiful woman and a scholar, eventually finding happiness together, he suddenly had a brilliant idea: "Why don't I find a human scholar to teach these little foxes?"

I will not harm him, but instead treat him with courtesy and give him money. Surely he will not refuse!

The old fox's so-called "finding" was actually "kidnapping". One night, he saw a handsome young man dressed strangely, carrying a Tai Chi bag on his back and holding a cane while traveling at night. The man did not seem to have any magical power. So the old fox had a plan to bewitch him and kidnap him to be his fox master.

As it turned out, he was blind to the true nature of the deity. The man not only escaped his spell, but was also easily trapped with a wave of his hand. The old fox knew then that he had encountered a master.

The man not only didn't kill him, but instead took him back to the Fox Hall to teach the little foxes. In the little foxes' eyes, the man seemed to be him, while he himself was invisible to them.

Half a month passed in this state of fear and trepidation. After giving the little foxes a pop quiz and discovering that none of these academically challenged creatures had passed, the man seemed to lose interest in teaching. He then gave each of the little foxes a good rub before drifting away.

The old fox recorded this incident in his book, "Strange Tales of the Fox Hall".

"Once upon a time, there was an old fox who wished to find a master to teach his children. One night, he saw a man walking on the road. The old fox was delighted to see that the man was handsome and refined, and wanted to invite him. This man was actually an extraordinary person. With a single finger, the old fox was captured. The extraordinary person transformed into the old fox and taught the foxes history, astronomy, and geography. The foxes were unruly and could not learn well. After testing their knowledge, the extraordinary person left in anger. The old fox sighed, 'This is a true immortal. It is a great regret for my clan not to receive his teachings!' After sighing, he turned around and angrily whipped his children."

Chapter 133 Ancient Chen Realm: Anti-Strange Warrior

The one who taught the foxes to read was Loran. This world is called the Ancient Chen Realm, a place where humans, gods, ghosts, and demons live together. Strange tales such as an old ox talking, zombies surrounding a village, female ghosts seducing people, and demons harming the people are endless.

However, in states like Yu, which had established a stable divine order, such situations were rare. In places like Shi, Shu, and Wei, where there was no stable divine order and the state was not particularly powerful, such events were more common.

Loran has joined a sect called the Five Dragons Secret Sect, which is located within the territory of Yu Kingdom. The sect is considered an evil cult that should be exterminated by the Heavenly Heart Sect, so he can be considered one of the protagonists of the strange tales.

Previously, having nothing to do, he traveled around. One night, while walking, he was attacked by an old fox. The old fox's meager abilities were no match for Loran. However, after learning the old fox's purpose through mind reading, Loran became interested and started teaching the little fox to read, which was quite interesting.

And so, Loran, disguised as an old fox, taught the group of little foxes for half a month. The little foxes were indeed quite cute, but each one of them was a terrible student. They were very enthusiastic when listening to stories, but when it came to learning actual knowledge, they would lose focus and doze off.

Loran gave a short quiz, and he had made the questions very simple. As a result, none of the group of academically challenged foxes passed, and two of them even got zero.

Loran gave up on the idea, but still felt uneasy.

Am I inferior to Hong Yi? No, it must be that the students are too bad, it has nothing to do with me as the teacher!

If you really ask, I have something to say. What kind of students does Hong Yi teach? Foxes from scholarly families, with a demon immortal like Yuan Fei backing them up. What do I teach? Wild foxes who can't even read properly.

And so, Loran left behind the academically challenged foxes and embarked on his travels once more. He didn't know where he was going; he simply followed the calamity energy. The cultivation technique he practiced was a self-created classic, named "The Primordial Chaos Five Calamity Insect Dragon Scripture."

This scripture aims to cultivate the way of insects and dragons, undergo five tribulations, shed the acquired body, and return to the primordial chaos.

The so-called Five Tribulations refers to the Five Elements Tribulations proposed by Loran. He believed that all things acquired after birth are within the Five Elements, and in order to return to the innate state, one must undergo the Five Elements Tribulations to transcend the Five Elements and return to the innate state.

Now, he has overcome the decaying tribulation representing the wood element, the yin fire tribulation representing the fire element, the corpse tribulation representing the earth element, and the drowning tribulation representing the water element. Only the metal element tribulation remains to be overcome.

But the so-called calamity began at the very end of a spring breeze, and the aura of calamity was also faint and hard to discern. Therefore, Loran also wandered around in pursuit of that sliver of possibility.

As Loran wandered the avenue again at night, his keen senses detected a small, faintly visible object by the roadside ahead. Loran smiled; the fun was about to begin again.

It was another ordinary day for the conferment of titles. Huang Wulang huddled in the bushes and grass by the roadside, waiting for the arrival of the destined person.

Huang Wulang is a weasel, known in folklore as Huang Daxian or Huangpizi. According to ancient legend, when someone was walking on a country path, they encountered a weasel. Upon seeing the person, the weasel would suddenly stand upright, and it might be wearing a straw hat on its head. If the person was highly intelligent, they would hear the weasel ask, "Do I look like a human to you?"

If you say it doesn't look like it, or if you curse and grumble, the weasel will lose its spiritual power and have to start its cultivation all over again. As a result, the weasel will harbor resentment and try to take revenge.

But if it were said to resemble someone, the weasel would naturally leave satisfied. However, things don't always go that way; true cultivation and spiritual attainment are never easily gained with just a few words. The weasel was satisfied because it had used its evil magic and that phrase as a medium to swindle a large amount of intangible things like good fortune and merit from people.

The weasel was cured, but the person who was asked to be granted a title suffered.

Therefore, the Yellow Weasel Clan was always regarded as an evil sect in the Yu Kingdom. The Heavenly Heart Sect did not exterminate the Yellow Weasel Clan back then. Instead, they allowed them to exist as household deities, but they were subject to the supervision of the Heavenly Heart Sect. They were considered to be unorthodox sects that had been granted official titles.

But there are always weasels who want to take shortcuts, like Huang Wulang. His father, Huang Tianfang, recently passed away, and his entire estate was inherited by his domineering, selfish, and scheming older brother, Huang Silang. Huang Wulang was left penniless and driven out of his home, unable to even secure a position as a household deity.

Forced by various practical factors, Huang Wulang embarked on the evil path of seeking official recognition.

However, it was also quite surprised. During this period, it had enfeoffed several people and its cultivation had greatly increased, but surprisingly, no cultivators from the Heavenly Heart Path or other sects jumped out to slay demons and protect the righteous path.

"This is really strange! When did this place become so eerie?" Huang Wulang chewed on a blade of grass, his sly eyes darting around, but he couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried.

"Who cares? These days, where you can gain over ten years' worth of cultivation in a single night, let's enjoy them as long as we can."

"Once I've mastered my cultivation, I'll definitely march back home and show that damned Huang Silang what it means to have fortunes change every thirty years, and never underestimate a young wolf's potential!"

Huang Wulang made a vow in his heart and waited patiently for the arrival of the treacherous fat sheep tonight.

Suddenly, a faint sound reached its ears.
