629: Chapter 618 Lord Tian Shi’s Accusation 629: Chapter 618 Lord Tian Shi’s Accusation The Hateful Demon Monster fell silent for a mont before revealing a poisonous hate-filled expression to Wen Wen, “You might as well just kill because even if I die, those people will be trapped in this illusionary realm forever.
I am but the knife used for revenge, the hand that wields the knife is still…”
Wen Wen didn’t let him finish but instead directly dragged it into the Sanctuary, as continuing the interrogation was pointless.
The Hateful Demon Monster was the embodint of the hate from ‘Heaven Stone’, and under such intense hatred, it was impossible for it to reveal the thod to save the townspeople.
Continuing to question it would have been in vain, so by capturing it in the Sanctuary, half of the incident was resolved.
According to Wen Wen and Moyadi’s speculation, Heaven Stone itself was incapable of exacting revenge on the townspeople, which is why it needed the Hateful Demon Monster as its enforcer.
Although the illusion had not been lifted, the townspeople were montarily safe.
Wen Wen now had the opportunity to address the root of the problem, and he already had an idea on how to solve it.
In the images provided by the Surveillance Point, apart from the Hateful Demon Monster, there was another entity above the Disaster Level in the town, which must be the ‘it’ the Hateful Demon Monster ntioned, the true Heaven Stone.
…
Wen Wen instructed Tao Qingqing to watch over the comatose townspeople, while he himself arrived at the church that housed the Endless Stairs.
The old Demon Hunter was sitting on the ground at the door.
His expression was peaceful, as though he was thinking of sothing pleasant, perhaps even happy about earning two thousand Demon Hunting Coins from Wen Wen, but he was no longer breathing.
Wen Wen sighed.
Before coming, he had considered that the old Demon Hunter might have fallen on hard tis, but actually seeing it, he couldn’t help but feel regret.
The old Demon Hunter was also a resident of Tian Family Town, and he was the closest to the church.
After the Hateful Demon Monster began its retaliation, he was very likely the first target.
To a common Demon Hunter, the Hateful Demon Monster was simply too strong.
On the original chair sat another person, a young man whose body emitted a faint white glow.
That was the target Wen Wen was looking for, the second Disaster Level existence within the Illusionary Town.
“I thought you would hide and seek with first, and I would have to beat you up before you would be willing to communicate properly.
I didn’t expect you to be sitting right here in front of ,” Wen Wen said to him in a deep voice as he approached.
The young man laughed and responded, “Since the Hateful fellow has already been killed, there’s no point in hiding anymore.
Please, have a seat.”
With a gentle sweep of his hand, a chair appeared out of thin air across from him.
This chair was constructed from Illusion Technique, but for Wen Wen, who was wearing the Illusory Desire Heavenly Garnt, the chair was as real as any other.
“How can I be sure that this chair isn’t a trap?” Wen Wen asked with narrowed eyes.
The young man shook his head and said, “If I wanted to harm you, I wouldn’t use such a thod.
You were able to co back here because of that garnt, which also ans that now all illusion techniques are real damage to you.
As the master of this Illusionary Realm, taking care of you would be very simple unless you’re willing to take off that garnt and leave.”
Wen Wen felt his reasoning was sound, so he sat down in the chair, prepared to listen to what the young man had to say.
To enter this Illusionary Realm, Wen Wen had made himself vulnerable to ‘Illusion Technique’, almost like a weak point.
His resistance to illusions had effectively beco negative, and the young man opposite him could be considered an Illusion Master, holding a great advantage over Wen Wen.
Thus, if a peaceful conversation could be had, Wen Wen wished to avoid conflict.
The young man smiled and asked Wen Wen, “How may I address you?”
“Wen Li,” Wen Wen replied without hesitation.
“You’re not an honest person; you clearly go by Wen Wen,” the young man said, shaking his head.
The Hateful Demon Monster had impersonated Wen Wen, so it was normal for the young man to know Wen Wen’s na.
Wen Wen said slightly annoyed, “Then why do you ask, are you trying to pick a fight?”
The young man smiled again and said, “However, ‘Wen Li’ suits you very well.
From your fight with the ‘Abomination,’ it’s clear you’re full of resentnt.
If you don’t mind, you can call ‘Lord Tian Shi,’ as that’s what people here used to call .”
“I’m not interested in whatever na you go by,” Wen Wen said coldly to him.
Lord Tian Shi wasn’t bothered by Wen Wen’s attitude, instead he said to Wen Wen, “I suppose you must be very curious about the existence of and the Abomination.
Let tell you a story, and then you’ll understand everything.”
Wen Wen glared with dead fish eyes and said, “I’m not curious, just hurry up and dissolve the Illusionary Realm.”
Lord Tian Shi paused, then after a mont of silence he said, “I will solve this Illusionary Realm and release everyone after I’ve finished my tale.”
Wen Wen nodded in response and said, “Alright then, make it brief.”
Lord Tian Shi shifted his posture and said, “Actually, I don’t clearly rember my own origins; I only vaguely recall being a part of sothing else.
The first ti I attained independent consciousness, I saw those simple people worshipping , hoping I would provide them with shelter.”
“At that ti, I was grateful to them, because without them, perhaps I would have never awakened.
So, I decided to provide them with protection.
From then on, all the strength within my body transford to sustain and improve this town.”
“Under my protection, this town always enjoyed good weather and harvests, becoming one of the wealthiest around.
They often had all sorts of requests for , so of which I couldn’t fulfill, but I did my best to try.”
As he said this, a smile of genuine happiness unconsciously spread across Lord Tian Shi’s face, clearly enjoying reminiscing about that ti.
“Until one day, a Calamity struck.
I exhausted all my strength just to keep this town alive through the disaster and thus used up all my power, falling in the last aftershock of the Calamity.”
Lord Tian Shi’s face beca twisted, and a Qi similar to that of the Hateful Demon Monster emanated from him.
He glared angrily at Wen Wen as he said:
“When I woke up, my body was shattered to pieces!”
“The townspeople who once worshipped and sacrificed to now saw as the source of the Calamity.”
“They buried my body in countless corners of this town to ensure I could never be whole again!”
“They relentlessly slandered ; no one rembered the good I did, and they even used pieces of my body to construct churches to worship other deities!”
Watching Lord Tian Shi’s accusation, Wen Wen couldn’t help but pick up the chair and scoot back a bit to avoid being splashed by his spittle.
“From that ti on, for the first ti, I felt the emotion of hatred.
But all my power was for protecting them; I couldn’t harm them.
So, I spent two hundred years separating all my hate, while at the sa ti absorbing the malice from the humans nearby, I nurtured the Hateful Demon Monster, a twisted creation, wanting it to accomplish my revenge.”
With a long sigh, Lord Tian Shi gazed at the sky with a lancholic expression and scoffed, “The irony is, after I released all my hatred, I no longer wanted revenge…”
