Once Qiu Fu recovered from that hazy, instinctive state and turned human again, she looked back at Xia Li.Even that casual glance made every hair on his body stand on end."You..."Xia Li instinctively took half a step back.He could not stop the chill running through him."Sorry. I still can't control my power very precisely."Qiu Fu smiled awkwardly.The White Tiger governed baleful, murderous force.At this point, every word and movent of hers would stir instinctive fear in other living beings,unless their bloodline was even more extraordinary than hers."It's fine. Tell what happened. Why did you beco a White Tiger?"Xia Li was very curious about whatever had been left behind by Qiu Fu's mother."Among demonkind's four sacred spirits, bloodline inheritance has never followed any fixed rule. The Azure Dragon is born by inheriting fate itself, while the Vermilion Bird manifests when any bloodline-bearer is on the verge of death.""The Black Tortoise bloodline is at least sowhat predictable. The longer one lives, the greater the chance of awakening it.""As for our White Tiger clan...""Once the bloodline withers to a certain point, the very last one left alive becos the White Tiger."There was a sorrow in Qiu Fu's voice that could not be erased.Now that she had beco the White Tiger, it ant her tribe had already vanished completely.No clansn remained alive.The White Tiger was a solitary demon.Only one who had first lost everything could possess that relentless heart of pursuit.After that, nothing would be left that could hold her back."So this wasn't so thod your mother deliberately left behind? But if that's the case, shouldn't your bloodline have awakened long ago?""My situation was a little different. Right before I was born, my mother had probably already begun transforming into a White Tiger. But because I existed, part of that power was divided away into .""Those hunters did that on purpose!"Murderous intent flashed in Qiu Fu's eyes.At that mont, their motive in leaving her mother for last had beco clear.It had been a vicious plot to ensure that even the final White Tiger would never truly be born.Then they preserved her mother's corpse.If it had been preserved well enough, by the ti the bloodline in the corpse finally decayed, Qiu Fu's awakening would have been delayed by another thousand years or more."In other words, you originally had no chance to awaken at all. They calculated every step, but the one thing they failed to account for was the extre selfishness of the xiao demon and Mo Ye.""They believed those two were their loyal hounds. Loyal hounds who would never betray them."At this point, Xia Li also felt the truth gradually surfacing.The xiao demon had been in charge of hunting down the White Tiger covert branch.It knew exactly how many mbers of the White Tiger Division were left,including the condition of Qiu Fu's mother and Qiu Fu herself.But sohow, it had concealed all of that,secretly hidden away Qiu Fu's mother's remains,and waited for Qiu Fu to grow up so it could sche for even more.Unfortunately for it, all of that had been overturned by Xia Li's arrival.And yet perhaps, throughout all these years, their role had never changed.They had been a blade ant to assassinate the unrighteous.Whether in life or death, they cursed those unjust people.Whether they succeeded or failed, they still left obstacles behind for the unjust.The xiao demon had hidden the key that could let Qiu Fu beco the White Tiger.Mo Ye, anwhile, had secretly forged the Death-Curse Blade.If they won, they would destroy everything with their own hands.If they lost, what they left behind would still empower those who ca after.No matter life or death, no matter victory or defeat, they would still damage the foundations of the unrighteous.It almost seed that the xiao demon and Mo Ye had been the two most resolute geniuses of all,the two who had resisted most fiercely."Maybe. Let's not talk about them anymore."Qiu Fu did not want to discuss the xiao demon and Mo Ye with Xia Li.They were the sort of complicated figures one could find loathso and hateful,yet still be forced to admit they possessed at least a trace of sothing worthy of respect.Just thinking about whether they had been right or wrong made her irritated.Part of her wanted to deny everything about them completely,yet inwardly she could not quite get past it."All right."Xia Li nodded.What kind of people the xiao demon and Mo Ye had truly been would be for later generations to judge from a position of absolute reason.People living in their own era could not possibly give them a fully fair verdict.[If asured by event-impact progression index, their deaths absolutely qualify as the end of the prologue. They connect what ca before and what cos after, and can be regarded as the landmark event that opens the main story.]

At that mont, the Heaven Chip suddenly cut in.It was exactly the sort of existence that could evaluate such matters from a standpoint of absolute reason.[Heaven Chip, since you've reached that conclusion, then what exactly counts as the main story?][Class contradictions have risen to the surface. Social conflict is intensifying. In a society analogous to an ancient feudal dynasty, the current conditions are sufficient to trigger peasant uprisings.][And when peasant uprisings begin erupting across various regions, that marks the beginning of a feudal dynasty's collapse.]The Heaven Chip was comparing the Profound World to a feudal dynasty.But the situation here was also very different.In a superhuman society where individual power could completely overpower collective power,weren't so-called peasant uprisings just a joke?[But the gap between low-level cultivators and great powers is far larger than the gap between peasants and a regular army in ancient tis.][If one excludes demonic thods, that would indeed be the case. But the demonic path sacrifices the blood of all living beings to heaven and allows the weak to overco the strong. If the masses, in despair, all fall into demonic cultivation and sacrifice themselves to spread the Foul-Death Curse, then what can those great powers do?]After learning of the Death-Curse Blade, even the Heaven Chip had realized that the lower strata were not entirely without ans of resistance.The demonic path was the best such ans.But the demonic path had already been destroyed.Wait.The instant that thought occurred to him, Xia Li realized sothing else.The demonic path had been wiped out.Why had it been wiped out?Was it really just because of so battle between righteousness and evil?Xia Li did not believe the great powers of this world were that righteous.They had eradicated Buddhism and the demonic path alike,destroying two traditions capable of gathering the power of the masses.There was no way there wasn't so deeper aning behind that.Draw the fuel from under the cauldron.That was exactly what it was.Take away the peasants' hoes, and when they revolt, they do not even have weapons left to resist with.The later monopoly on Foundation Establishnt Pills and the monopoly on the Divine Path had rely been icing on the cake,further widening the gap between classes.[I feel like I've just comprehended sothing truly extraordinary...]Xia Li was startled by his own realization.If he wanted to change this world, then the demonic path had to be revived.Heavens...What kind of thought was that?The demonic path did not need Foundation Establishnt Pills.Just devour a few fellow cultivators.The demonic path did not need the Divine Path either.Just slaughter more and devour living souls.As long as there were still people in the world,there was no way to stop the demonic path from growing.[That is only one possible thod. I provide suggestions only and make no decisions. Please make your own choice based on the current state of the world.]The Heaven Chip signaled Xia Li not to overthink it.People would find their own path.If the day truly ca, then even if Xia Li did not spread the demonic path, others would still spread it across the world.As for why Buddhism, which could likewise gather the power of the masses, should not be spread instead?Because Buddhism was too demanding.Among ten thousand people, perhaps not even one could truly succeed in it.The demonic path aligned more naturally with human nature.That was why Mo Ye had reasoned backward from the result and concluded that people were born with demonic nature.[Heaven Chip, add the demonic thods Mo Ye left behind to the repository, then use the Demonic Cultivator General Outline to screen his legacy and select the low-side-effect ones that I can use.]By now, Xia Li no longer felt the sa disgust toward the demonic path.The demonic path had its own reason to exist.At the end of the day, it still ca back to the sa line:power itself had nothing to do with righteousness or evil.Only the person using that power could be righteous or evil.Earth did not cultivate demonic thods.And the Heavenly Dao Computer would never permit any demonic cultivation art to appear on the Heavenly Dao Network.anwhile, the demonic path in the Profound World had been suppressed so thoroughly that it no longer dared show its face.In other words,demonic inheritance had now beco the hardest thing in the world to obtain.
