The way of the immortals is different.

The immortals and gods all have their own causes of enlightenment and attachment to cultivation.

In the millions of years of the Gods and Demons, the three generations of Immortal Heavenly Emperors have different paths, but no matter whether that path is sublime or self-sufficient, they have indeed reached the highest realm with them.

Naturally, the rest of the Immortal Star Monarchs under the Emperor of Heaven also have their own paths and obsessions.

In this way, they can achieve their current karmic position.

- Maybe it's for longevity, maybe it's for strength, maybe it's for proving one's worth, maybe it's for changing something that you can't get used to, or maybe it's really good talent and good luck......

But whatever the reason, when they became immortals, it proved one thing.

Then, they must be in order to create a 'certain order', so they identify with the identity of 'immortals', rather than becoming beings with other names.

For example, 'Heavenly Demons'.

Nine Demon Gods, Desire Sea and Sky Demons.

Holding this title are the many existences opposite to the Heavenly Immortal Gods of the Immortal God Realm.

At first, they just didn't agree with the immortals who the immortals wanted to shape the order, and the many powerful people who were independent of the heavenly court.

They have their own camps, paths, and positions, and their relationship with each other may be even worse than that with the immortals.

The only thing they have in common is that they are all opponents, debaters, and resisters of the Immortal God Realm.

Or to put it bluntly.

They are all the 'bar spirits' of the fairy gods.

This is the original meaning of 'demon'.

And before the appearance of the first generation of demon lords, these bar spirits had never even been unified.

No, that's not right...... No, it's not the Demon Lord.

Because at that time, in the distant Underworld, the Tianyuan Realm did not yet have the name of Demon God.

And the first generation of demon lords, in essence, are not 'demon lords'.

It's the 'Lord of Hades'.

- Immortal Ancient, at the beginning of the Age of Gods and Demons, the Emperor of the Primordial Heaven promoted the stars, established the Immortal Heaven, opened the Heavenly Court, sealed the gods, and became the ruler of the high heavens.

Most of the powerful divine birds, as well as all kinds of innate spirits, are the first generation of immortal gods.

They are responsible for leading sentient beings to develop civilization, shape faith, build temples, and establish order, with the intention of building a prosperous earthly kingdom of God.

Most.

Not all the innate spirits and divine birds were willing to join the camp of the immortals, and among them, there was a whole camp, or the category of innate spirits, that refused the invitation of the primordial.

Those are the many mountain gods derived from the leylines.

When the light of heaven and earth is still full, the earth's leylines are naturally calm and very vibrant, and the lofty mountains can naturally give birth to spiritual wisdom and become innate spirits.

And the many mountain gods based on the earth, naturally and the sky gods soaring in the sky are not together, even if it is located in the Tianyuan East Continent, the most towering divine mountain 'Hongying', it is only 40,000 miles high, and it is still far from the real high dome of the Tianyuan Realm.

He was only occasionally able to talk to the birds, but he always ended up parting unhappily.

At that time, the Heavenly Yuan beings were multiplying, cultivating, and expanding throughout the world. And such an action, naturally, is accompanied by a lot of hardship, failure and death.

The path of cultivation and exploration is really primitive and difficult, and the gods of the immortals are so high that they can only see the people who follow them and walk on the same path, but they can't see the bones that have not followed them and finally fall on the side of the road.

Just like in the records of historical classics, in the stories of the books, everyone can only see the victories, defeats and glory of the emperors and generals, and can only see the adventures and explorations of the strong, but they can't see the civilians who are not recorded, the losers who are not narrated, and the majority who are always forgotten and ignored.

But Hong Ming can see it.

He could see mortals who wanted to climb themselves to the sky, but ended up leaving their souls and bones behind them.

Therefore, he collected the corpses of all beings, gathered ten thousand souls into nine shadows, cast the underworld with his own body, and accepted the souls of billions of sentient beings on the five continents of Tianyuan.

It's for the 'Nine Nether Lords'.

At that time, the Nine Shades of the Immortal Heaven did not interfere with each other, did not care about each other, and there was no war.

Although it is true that there are many people who intend to rebel against the existence of Xiantian and come to seek refuge in Jiuyou, there is no atmosphere where they have to fight to the death.

The two old friends, the Primal Heavenly Emperor and the Nine Nether Lords, often discuss, but neither side has ever convinced the other - in the end, both sides also have their own paths to open up and walk, so naturally they don't have time to always find fault with others.

And such a peaceful day until that day comes.

The great ominous came, and the Tianyuan leyline changed drastically.

The leylines of the Western Continent changed, and countless miasma forces Xiantian to break away from the Tianyuan Realm; The quiet Beida Prefecture was frozen and turned into a desperate situation.

The Southern Continent, the Eastern Continent Lu Shen disappeared, and after the Primal Heavenly Emperor fell in the Southern Hell Sea, the Nine Netherworld Lords of the Ontological Divine Mountain located in the Eastern Continent also disappeared, or also fell in the Lu Shen.

However, I don't know when the Nine Netherworld Soil has also broken away from the same place as the Immortal Heaven God Realm, and has lodged on top of the Heavenly Yuan Realm. In the case of the disappearance of the Underworld, its inner law is still working, and it can still accept the endless ghosts of heaven and earth.

But during that time, there were simply too many dead beings.

Too much, too much.

Even if we get rid of those souls that have turned into resentful spirits and wandered in the world that never detached, the number of souls of all beings is too large, and it is too painful.

Their arrival instantly changed the original calm and secluded pattern of the Nine Shadows, where there would no longer be any positive emotions, just like dark clouds covering the sky, and all that remained on the ground was shadows.

Countless pains, despairs, unwillingness, and wails coalesced together to form a sea of pain.

That is, the source of the 'devil' in the future.

Without the Lord of the Underworld, there is no longer a mind that can guide the souls of all beings, even other gods and demons who live in the underworld cannot do such a thing, and even they are vaguely eroded by this despair.

And after Taihao achieved the position of the emperor of heaven and ruled the heavens and the earth, the same is true.

Like the Primal Emperor, there is no place for the dead ghosts or even the Netherworld in Taihao's path - he even goes to the Netherworld as a 'punishment', as exile, punishment, and tribulation torture.

Time passed, and there were often immortals who were dissatisfied with the constraints of Taihao's luck order and were thrown into the Nine Shadows, like a trash can for storing waste products.

And here, the painful minds of billions of sentient beings are still struggling.

Sentient beings in the human world are also often at a loss here, and when they are bound by fate, they also have to guard against all kinds of oppression and punishment of heavenly calamity and punishment.

Too direct and coercive oppression and guidance is like putting a person's head into a pool of water to make him drink - perhaps with good intentions, after all, people do need to drink water, but no one will feel 'right' because of it.

- If it is said that everything in this heaven and earth is the path of Emperor Taihao.

- Then, even if you break the heavens and tread the earth, you must overthrow Him!

So, at that time, there were many immortals inside and outside Tianyuan, gods and demons of the underworld, all the living and dead in the world.

They are all rebelling against fate and longing for 'freedom'.

Therefore, in the deepest part of the abyss of the underworld, there was the 'Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord' who was born.

In the name of demons, the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord and the Taihao Heavenly Emperor both died in the ruins, ending the era when both gods and demons and sentient beings were oppressed by fate.

And then, now.

That is, it is the era of the third generation of the Immortal Heaven God Emperor, and the third generation of the Demon Lord of the Nine Shadows.

- Only, no one ever thought about it.

——Why was it that the Nine Netherlands, which was supposed to be a mass of scattered sand and only the painful wails of many faint souls, could give birth to such an existence as the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord, which had a firm path, a clear goal, and strength and skill enough to compete with the Heavenly Emperor.

【Rahu!! 】

The Age of Gods and Demons is eighty-three thousand and eight hundred and eighty thousand years.

Void Sea.

In the Immortal Heaven Divine Realm, the Ten Thousand Spirit Divine Bird let out a long cry of pain.

Just now, Tai Hao was attacked without warning and unexpectedly—just as he turned his attention to the Nine Shadows, a crimson star that was originally surrounding him quietly changed its trajectory, and then condensed into a long black-red cone with his body, directly piercing into the wings behind the Ten Thousand Souls Divine Bird!

Bang! The incomparably strong Divine Body True Body emitted a shattering hum, and the long cone sank into the body, and immediately differentiated into an infinite and gloomy demonic thought, and it rushed happily, straight into the depths of the Divine Emperor's body.

In an instant, you can see the darkness spreading, and there is darkness spreading in the hind wings of the Ten Thousand Souls Bird, which was originally blooming with brilliant gold and dazzling like the sun.

This deep and secluded darkness obscured the light on the divine bird's body, like a solar eclipse.

[Rahu, what are you doing?!] 】

At the first moment, the voice of the Taihao God Emperor, who suppressed the injury with supreme divine power and stopped the many surging demonic thoughts in his body, roared angrily, and he quickly turned his head and looked at the fierce star behind him, his eyes full of astonishment and anger.

[I didn't do anything, Your Majesty the God Emperor, I just did what 'Rahu' should do. 】

And the red fierce star flew up and down in the surging spiritual tide in the Immortal Heaven Divine Realm, even if Tai Hao stirred the entire Immortal Heaven with the incredible Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, he still couldn't capture that star, as if he couldn't catch a shadow.

You betrayed me! 】

The God Emperor didn't even care about the terrifying aura rising from the Jiuyou side at the moment, and still stared at Rahu tightly with his eyes glowing with red brilliance: "I have long known that you are extraordinary, and I have even treated you with courtesy—I even said that after I go further, you will be the Emperor of Heaven - you know that I am not lying. 】

[But you still betrayed me...... Could it be that your purpose is also to advance to the realm of 'Tao One'? 】

Tai Hao's tone gradually calmed down, even if he was backstabbed by an unexpected existence, after all, he had practiced for a long time, witnessed countless conspiracies and ups and downs, and he would not lose his cool because of this.

However, in this regard, it was not powerful, but it could see the attack of the God Emperor as nothing, and it seemed that there was an ethereal red star, but a rather calm laughter sounded: [Your Majesty, you are thinking too much. 】

[Not all immortals want to become the Emperor of Heaven, or achieve a higher realm. 】

[Since we and the immortals are immortal and have infinite time to pursue, the meaning of power is naturally to achieve our own path, not any other trivial matters. 】

Taihao didn't continue to ask.

At this moment, he was mobilizing his incomparable spiritual power, directly suppressing the dividing demonic thoughts that were spreading in his body - that demonic thoughts were strange to say, and there was no trace of any curses and curses, and it could even be said to be incomparably magnificent, not demonic at all, but full of vitality.

It is just activating, activating Taihao's own power and even the body components of each divine bird, letting them 'come to life' on their own, and then fighting Taihao himself.

【Lust and Demon Thoughts......】

Temporarily suppressed the 'Demonic Thoughts' of the desire to continue to spread and carry out differentiation and activation in the body, the Ten Thousand Spirits Divine Bird narrowed its eyes slightly,

Then, staring at the 'Luo Yu Xingjun' in front of him, he whispered to himself: [This is the technique of the Great Desire Heavenly Demon King, that guy from Menmoro. 】

[No, this technique is older and more quintessential than Him...... Rahu, it seems that I have never known you. 】

Rahu Xingjun.

The oldest immortal god, one of the first generation of immortal gods.

Before and after the Age of Gods and Demons, for nearly a million years, there were three generations of Heavenly Emperors and God Emperors in the Tianyuan Realm, and three generations of Demon Lords and Demon Kings.

And apart from the Primal and the Underworld, I am afraid that there is no Heavenly Emperor Demon Lord and other immortal gods who can be older than Him.

Although during such a long period of time, Rahu Xingjun often changed his position, and his strength often fluctuated, but he has always served the immortals, is the patriarch of the elders, and knows countless secrets.

How could such an existence take refuge in the Heavenly Demons? Tai Hao couldn't understand this kind of thing at all, and theoretically, even the possibility of him taking refuge in the Nine Shadows was greater than that of Rahu.

[When did you take refuge in the Nine Shadows? 】

Therefore, He directly asked, "Those Heavenly Demons, what did they use to tempt you?" 】

[Defect to the Heavenly Devil? 】

In this regard, Rahu's answer is quite intriguing: [Your Majesty, you probably made a mistake. 】

[From the beginning...... No, it should be said that since the 'Taihao' guy became the Emperor of Heaven, I have been his 'demon'. 】

A chuckle came from the red stars, as if shaking his head: [In the past, under the command of His Majesty Taichu, I was the 'Tianluo Heavenly Monarch' who held the body of the Heavenly Astrolabe and held the sword for His Majesty. 】

[And when Tai Hao was in charge of the authority of the 'Stars Heavenly Dao' and was the 'Brilliant Ming Yuyi Sun Emperor' at that time, I was in charge of the 'Pure Bright Suyao Taiyin Lord' on the side of the 'Stars Heavenly Dao', assisting in the operation of the Heavenly Court. 】

[Then, it was the 'Tai Sui Divine Monarch' who was responsible for fighting against the 'Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord' of the Nine Shadows. 】

At this point, the Rahu Xingjun of this life, an ancient immortal god who had experienced nearly a million years of time in the past, said lightly at this moment: [But what Taihao didn't expect was that the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord was a good apprentice I taught with one hand. 】

[In that case, how can He be undefeated?] 】

The void shook.

Easily uttered some shocking words, the light of the Star Monarch was small, but bright.

Hearing this, the Divine Emperor suddenly understood many things that he had not understood in the past.

【…… No wonder, no wonder that Emperor Taihao would fight the demon lord alone at that time, until in the end, there was not even half a reinforcement - I thought it was Jiuyou who was dragging the reinforcements, but now that I look at it, it turned out to be your plan......]

The Ten Thousand Spirits Divine Bird took a deep breath at this time, but now, it was not the time to sigh about these things.

He turned his head to look across the void far away.

There, where the Nine Demon Soil was located, endless black and red aura was constantly floating out of the tumor-like world, and finally slowly condensed in the void.

Seven emotions and six desires, many sufferings and fears, countless irritating and disgusting breaths converged from all directions, and finally condensed into a cluster of incomparably condensed deep shadows—they stacked and assembled each other, and finally formed a monstrous and terrifying colossal image that made people cringe and uneasy just by existing.

Airplanes! The infinite shadows merged, turning into a black core, and when he landed, the behemoth image of the shadow began to take shape—he had four arms and six eyes, two horns and nine curves, and his whole body was covered by layers of carapaces, and the lower half of his body seemed to be a giant tail of the Styx, leading to the deepest part of the Nine Shadows.

Faintly audible, countless dream-like voices of desire were whispering out of thin air, shaking the void.

That is the true body of this generation of the Lord of the Nine Shadows Demon Land, the third generation of the Demon King, the 'Great Desire Heavenly Demon King' Menmoro!

However, the light in the six eyes of this demon king made his old opponent Tai Hao feel extremely familiar.

Because that's exactly what Rahu looked at when he talked to Him before!

Although the breath of Him and Rahu is independent of each other, and the gap is like heaven and earth.

But the gaze was exactly the same.

But what shocked Taihao even more was Rahu's calm self-talk.

[Menmoro used to be my incarnation, and after the death of the Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord, I was divided into the Nine Shadows, intending to cultivate an independent spirit of the Demon Lord. 】

As soon as he opened his mouth, he once again caused Taihao's eyes to be stunned, and Xingjun even sighed: [Who knows, this generation of Heavenly Demons is really too unbearable, and there is no existence worth cultivating at all. 】

[So my incarnation is lurking and lurking, and I have become independent of myself and become a contemporary demon king, which is really beyond my expectations. 】
