Chapter 1749: What Are Demons and Monsters?

Demon!

The demon has really come!

"Xiao Cui is a demon!"

Countless chanting villagers screamed in terror, fleeing madly in all directions; the Tyrannosaurus took one bite after another, slaughtering wantonly—mortals before him were like paper.

Among the fleeing crowd, Tu Ying San Yi was the fastest runner; he had had this ability since childhood.

"You deserve to die!"

After swallowing several villagers, the Tyrannosaurus regained a sliver of reason.

He suddenly lunged into the bonfire, bit clean through the temple-keeper's neck, and with a violent swing slammed the temple-keeper into the fire, smashing countless bursting firewood apart, rescuing Zhou Xiao Cui and the others.

"Yong-ge!"

Zhou Xiao Cui burst into wailing.

In the Tyrannosaurus's enormous pupils more humanity returned; he stuck out his tongue and gently licked Xiao Cui once, then used his sharp teeth to cut the ropes binding Zhou Xiao Cui and her brothers, and afterward picked the few of them up in his mouth and flung them onto his own back.

Without a second thought, he fled madly out of the village.

"Roar!"

The Tyrannosaurus smashed through houses, broke through beams and pillars, fleeing outward without any regard!

In Tu Ying San Yi's panicked backward-glance, a quiet gaze was watching.

"The demon is a human cultivator."

"Human cultivators are demons."

Jiang Ding thought calmly.

At this moment, in his eyes, where was there any Tyrannosaurus demon?

It was entirely a thin, small youth!

This youth named Yu Yong had golden light flickering over his skin—a Qi Refining body cultivator's skin, hard as iron, immensely strong—possessing a terrifying power that completely surpassed mortals.

He had shattered the curse laid down by the gods, fully revealing the power of his divine soul as a Qi Refining Layer 8 cultivator!

"Is this the backlash of the Human Dao?"

Jiang Ding's heart surged.

It was the first time he had caught a glimpse of a single scale and half a claw of the Heavenly Dao of the dominant species of the endless starry sky.

The Human Dao—cold, cruel, sinister and cunning.

A war's intensity like that of Meteor Immortal Realm was, in the Human Dao's eyes, basically the same as a workout; there was simply no need to reveal it—the weak were meant to be bullied in the first place.

But here in the Gods-and-Buddhas Great Thousand Worlds, the Human Dao began to bare its fangs.

The gods set the world's order, influenced the world's sunlight, transformed scriptures into prayers and merged them into every mortal's divine soul, turning the mortal's divine soul into a single, seamless, blocked crystal, unable to mobilize any divine sense or magic power whatsoever—thoroughly and completely becoming a mortal.

While this world's humans produced high-quality incense power, they had completely lost any power.

Theoretically, mortals should never have been able to turn things around.

However—the Human Dao!

In this world, miracles exist, all kinds of

possibilities exist.

The gods' prayer scriptures blocked mortals' divine souls into crystals, seamless and whole—whether Qi Refining cultivators or Void Refining Soul Transformation cultivators were all the same; even if the divine soul was mighty, not the slightest power existed.

But when a miracle arrived, no matter how tightly sealed, it was useless.

Take this youth Yu Yong, for example.

In the course of his growth, one day he bumped his forehead, one day while swimming he ate a particularly tasty and unusual fish, one day he picked up a bright red fruit, one day he got a stitch while eating…

Coincidence after coincidence accumulated, kept accumulating, until one day an utterly ordinary mortal—a mortal whose divine soul had already completely become an irreversible crystal—suddenly recovered!

Suddenly recovered!

So utterly inconceivable.

The probability was extremely, extremely small; such people were extremely few, but the base number of human living beings was too large, and as time passed, such living beings kept appearing, kept appearing!

This was the Heavenly Dao of the human race!

To an individual, this was a miracle—an extremely tiny probability event that could be completely ignored.

But looking across the entire vast human region,

this kind of miracle was a certainty—an event that was bound to happen!

Ancient God Patriarch, Thunder Sun Patriarch, Great Sun Patriarch, Great Sun Sword Child, the first-generation Taiyin-Taiyang Sword Master… one after another peerless prodigies of the human race, heroes of the realms, were born within this Human Dao that was both miraculous and inevitable, holding up the human race's spine and sweeping across the world.

"However,"

"This isn't right!"

"The miracles of the human race's Heavenly Dao shouldn't be born like this."

Jiang Ding's heart surged as he quickly discovered the problem: "Yu Yong isn't a peerless prodigy on the level of Ancient God Patriarch; although his potential is very outstanding, it's only outstanding—he cannot affect the possibility of the supreme level. Such a person shouldn't be called a miracle of the human race's Heavenly Dao."

A miracle of the human race's Heavenly Dao was an existence that overturned the fate of an entire world, not something mass-produced.

But at this moment, Jiang Ding instantly discovered that such miracles and coincidences had been born many times; it seemed that in many worlds, long ago, many similar miracles had already appeared, continuously dispersing and diluting this miraculous power until it gradually faded into nothingness.

Why?

At this moment, the human race's Heavenly Dao favored Great Sun Sword Child, revealing more hidden secrets to him.

"Is it the gods' doing?"

"Worthy of being former servants—they have a sufficient understanding of the human race's Heavenly Dao."

Jiang Ding sighed in admiration: "They used fortune methods to forcibly scatter the miracles of the human race's Heavenly Dao, splitting them into countless portions, wearing down the enormous hidden danger until it was gone."

"A single drop of poison enough to kill a blue whale, diluted across the entire ocean—what can it affect?"

"Truly a brilliant method."

The entire system of gods in the Great Thousand World looked far too perfect, sealing off every loophole on every front—no wonder gods had been ruling this Great Thousand World all along, a rule that had continued for countless years.

"How wonderful…"

A blazing light shone in the eyes of the Great Sun Sword Child, his Great Sun instincts blooming, and he sensed something dimly in the beyond.

This was bound to be a worthy, powerful foe.

"Roar!"

In the eyes of all the villagers, the raging dragon was fleeing, roaring, running out of the village.

This was the illusion the web of incense faith had planted in their eyes—this was a demon, a demon in every respect, one destined never to be accepted by the vast masses of the human race.

The raging dragon was about to escape the village!

"Fiend!"

A sudden explosive shout cracked like thunder from a clear sky.

On the door panels of every household in Kaoshan Village, the two Divine Generals in Mystic Armor in the painted images suddenly blazed with boundless Jin Chong Guang, emerging amid the power of countless incense offerings—one was the Divine General of the Mystic-Armor Long Halberd, the other the Divine General of the Mystic-Armor Iron Mace.

"Fiend!"

"You dare to harm people—execution without mercy!"

The two great Divine Generals were majestic beyond compare. Their eyes bulged with fury as they strode straight to bar the raging dragon's path. Without a second thought, one swung his mace and slammed the raging dragon hard into the ground, blasting a great crater into the earth; the raging dragon vomited great mouthfuls of blood.

"It's Lord Guangcheng Xuange and Lord Quxie Tiejiang!"

"The gods have manifested their power!"

"We're saved!"

The villagers fleeing for their lives wept with joy, unable to stop themselves from falling to their knees in prayer. The devotion in their hearts surged up by a great measure all at once, so much so that they wished they could dedicate body and soul entirely to the gods. Every past doubt, every hidden grievance, vanished utterly in this moment—nothing remained.

With the appearance of Lord Guangcheng Xuange and Lord Quxie Tiejiang, the Kitchen God, the Well God, the Field Lord and Field Matron, and the Earth God all appeared as well, each displaying divine power to surround the raging dragon completely.
