Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere? Chapter 142 106, Asking the Heart and the Blue Silver Overlo

"An ancient covenant? But you are not of the royal bloodline,"

The Giant Demon gazed at him with icy focus, "Considering there is sothing familiar about your aura, hand over your storage bag and leave."

"Who said I ca here as a mber of the royal family?"

Xu Yuan looked at him, "You haven't noticed the blood on the Divine Lamp?"

"The blood on the Divine Lamp?"

The Giant Demon focused, "So you've co as a challenger?"

"Exactly."

Xu Yuan stated calmly.

"Indeed, the ancient covenant does ntion this, but only under the circumstances where the human race is in danger of annihilation, Dawn City is without a rightful ruler, and in tis of leaderless chaos, do others get the opportunity to undertake the trials to qualify for controlling the Four Divine Beasts Formation."

The Giant Demon narrowed his eyes slightly, and the blinding light he was emitting diminished considerably.

"Exactly. Now that the Divine Emperor has suddenly died, his nine children are fighting for the throne, the eight major Sects are entering the city to support the emperor's descendants in an attempt to turn them into puppets, and ceaseless strife ensues. Does this not et the circumstances set by the covenant? If the imperial power fell into the hands of any Sect, it would bring calamity to all living beings."

Xu Yuan declared openly.

This Giant Demon could only see the layout of Dawn City, he was not afraid that it could see through his lies.

Moreover, at that ti, to prevent the Giant Demon from exploiting any loopholes, all possibilities were considered including restrictions from the Divine Lamp, so he wasn't afraid that it would act rashly without hearing him out.

As long as he dropped blood onto the Divine Lamp or ntioned the ancient covenant while it was awakening, the Giant Demon was bound to let him partake in the trial.

The Giant Demon's expression grew complex.

It rembered the initial situation with the Demon Clan, which was sowhat similar to the current scenario.

When they had driven the human and demon races to the brink of extinction and were about to split their resources, an unprecedented internal conflict broke out among the factions within the Demon Clan, which greatly weakened their force, eventually giving the human and demon races a chance to counterattack.

"What you've described does conform to the stipulations of the ancient covenant."

"Then, young man of the human race, have you prepared yourself to undertake the trial and bear the weight of the world?"

The Divine Lamp at the back of the Giant Demon's neck seed to sense sothing, and after a swell of radiant light passed over it, the Giant Demon lifted its head, nobly declared.

In this mont, it no longer resembled a ferocious mber of the Demon Clan, but rather a scholar with a belly full of poems and elegance.

"Please."

Xu Yuan said calmly.

"The first question is about the heart."

The Giant Demon slowly spoke.

As its voice faded, Xu Yuan's vision blurred, and suddenly, he found himself standing on a cliff, with Liu Ruoxue nowhere to be seen.

White clouds drifted leisurely under an azure sky.

At the end of the cliff stood a noble, frigidly pure figure.

She was clad in a blue gown, resembling a partially opened, pristine lotus, her back turned to all living beings, gazing alone into eternity.

"You, what purpose drives your cultivation?"

Xu Yuan did not wait long; a voice as light as cloud mist floated over from ahead.

The voice was soft and lingering, capable of intoxicating staunch warriors in its gentle land of warmth. Hearing just one sentence made one dizzy with desire to rip out their heart and offer it to her."

"For the great love of the world."

Having experienced Lin Qingque's hypnotizing murmurs over the past days, Xu Yuan naturally did not regard this voice highly, and said sternly.

"Lies!"

The figure seed surprised that he hadn't succumbed to her charm, and after a slight gasp, she waved her water sleeves. The generated wind scattered nurous clouds, instantly clearing the azure sky.

"This is the trial of the ancient covenant—Asking the Heart. The questions asked, and the words spoken, all directly probe into one's true heart. You cannot deceive ."

"I give you another chance. Tell , for what do you cultivate?"

The woman's voice carried a trace of icy sternness.

Xu Yuan's expression was unchanged, his deanor still frosty.

But inside, he felt a peculiar sensation.

This goddess-like woman before him seed intentionally making it tough for him.

"I still say the sa, for the great love of the world."

Xu Yuan spoke quietly.

"Yet, I do not see you doing so; you don't even love those who love you."

The slim figure did not turn around, yet it seed as though she saw right through him, speaking indifferently.

"Ridiculous, what I pursue is the love for the world, and yet they wish to monopolize my love, naturally, I cannot let them succeed."

Xu Yuan waved his sleeve, saying coldly.

The woman was slightly taken aback by his response, then continued, "What about others? I see that when you act against them, you show no rcy. Even if they were wrong and attacked you first, if you aspire to love the world, shouldn't you show so compassion?"

"To love others, one must first love oneself. If one cannot even manage self-love, how can they love others, let alone the whole world?"

Xu Yuan scoffed again.

"So-called 'world' refers to 'under the heaven'; the aning of loving the world is to love everything under the heaven, and now, standing under this sky, among those I love, I naturally include myself."

"..."

The woman pondered for a mont, as if checking sothing.

After a while, she seed to accept his answer and spoke again.

"So then, this great love for the world, how far have you realized it?"

"The first step."

Xu Yuan's eyes twinkled, his lips slightly curled, then he pridefully declared.

"Oh?"
