Chapter 582: Is the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon Actually Me?

Ye Lin was shocked to the bottom of his heart.

Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon!

This title sounded hair-raising just by hearing it; it must be an incomparably terrifying existence.

"Did this Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon fight with the local cultivators of Changsheng Continent?"

Ye Lin immediately thought of the previous Human-Demon War.

"That's not it."

Kuai Yan shook his head.

"Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon is just a name given to that thing by the cultivators on Changsheng Continent; in reality, no one knows what that ghost thing is!"

"Only that a thousand years ago, outside Changsheng Continent, a ball of distorted things suddenly arrived. That thing was indescribable, impossible to describe, and it just got stuck there!"

"During this period, the old monsters and top powerhouses on Changsheng Continent also tried to solve that Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon, but unfortunately, no matter how strong the powerhouses were, they all returned without success."

"That Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon seemed to have no life, ignoring any attacks."

"Gradually, everyone gave up the idea of dealing with that Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon, because that Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon didn't seem to have any intention of destroying Changsheng Continent, and everyone got used to its existence."

"But... the real disaster, that was when it started!"

"A world like Changsheng Continent, which possesses complete domain rules, will have a layer of protective power guarding the entire world. Apart from being born here, one can only enter Changsheng Continent by ascending."

"But under the erosion of that Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon, that layer of protective power weakened bit by bit, and in the end, a huge gap appeared directly!"

"Once that gap appeared, the original Immortal Qi on Changsheng Continent began to leak out bit by bit, just like a hole in the sky."

"In just a hundred years, Changsheng Continent became no longer suitable for the survival of cultivators, directly entering the Age of Dharma Decline."

"Cultivators can only use Immortal Source Stones to maintain their own realm and to cultivate and become stronger. The matter of cultivation also changed from being accessible to the general public—as long as one had spiritual roots, one could cultivate—to only those with strong backgrounds being able to cultivate."

Speaking to the point of excitement, Kuai Yan punched the wall beside him.

"This damned Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon!"

Ye Lin didn't dare to make a sound.

From Kuai Yan's description.

He vaguely felt.

The Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon in Kuai Yan's mouth.

Might probably maybe should roughly be Ye Lin himself.

But the time didn't quite match up.

A thousand years ago.

It couldn't be that a thousand years had passed since Fan Xiu's self-explosion, right?

"......"

Ye Lin thought deeply and felt terrified; it was really possible.

When he drove the Undying and Unextinguishable Divine Realm to the extreme, even his consciousness fell into silence; if it were said that this sleep lasted a thousand years, it was not impossible.

Ye Lin's scalp tingled; he finally discovered one disadvantage of immortality: sleeping for a thousand years was like yesterday to him.

But for others, it wasn't; for others, this was a solid one thousand years.

Zhuge Yi, Shen Jingbin, Ji Lingyu... those people he was familiar with, were they still in the world?

If they were still there, with a thousand years of time passing, would they still remember him?

Time is the most terrifying thing; brothers who called each other brothers and sisters and had a relationship as strong as iron while studying might have their relationship fade after working in society for a few years.

Ye Lin took a deep breath; these questions, he was afraid he would only know the answer after seeing them in person.

"Brother Kuai Yan, since you are an ascender, are we digging mines now also because of the influence of that Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon?"

"Of course it is!"

Kuai Yan nodded heavily.

"If we had successfully ascended a thousand years ago, we would still have a bright future."

"As long as the ascension is successful, the original Immortal Qi on Changsheng Continent will automatically reshape our bodies, making our rules complete. In that case, we would be no different from the native cultivators of Changsheng Continent!"

"Even because we have already understood the power of laws in advance, we would cultivate even faster than them!"

"But now, because of that dog thing, the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon, Changsheng Continent has entered the Age of Doomsday, and there is simply no sufficient original Immortal Qi to provide us with reshaping our bodies."

"Ascenders who want to reshape their bodies can only rely on a large amount of Immortal Source Stones to pile it up."

"Apart from a portion of ascenders with extremely monstrous talent who can be favored by sects, holy lands, and aristocratic families to obtain this sum of Immortal Source Stones, the rest of the ascenders can only become free labor!"

Ye Lin frowned.

"Is it impossible to rely on robbing?"

"Robbing? What are you going to rob with? The more complete the domain rules of a world, the more powerful the living beings born within it."

Kuai Yan sneered.

"Do you know? When I was born, there were strange signs in the sky, Chaos planted green lotuses, bright moons grew on the sea, and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky chanted scriptures for me."

"My father told everyone that his son had the appearance of becoming an immortal!"

"He held me high above his head, and I didn't disappoint him!"

"I, Kuai Yan, entered the Qi Refining stage at three years old, understood the laws of cultivation without a teacher."

"At five years old, a auspicious Qilin stepped through the air and voluntarily became my mount."

"At ten years old, I achieved the Foundation Establishment stage—that is a realm that many cultivators seek all their lives but cannot obtain."

"At fifteen, the Golden Core was formed! At twenty-five, the Nascent Soul emerged!"

"From then on, my path of cultivation was invincible, and it was hard to meet an opponent; people of the same generation couldn't even see my back."

"In less than a hundred years, I walked through the four realms of Spirit Transformation, Asking the Peak, Tribulation Crossing, and Mahayana, becoming the fastest person to ascend and become an immortal in the history of our world!"

"I have seen many geniuses, but they all called me a genius!"

"When I first arrived at Changsheng Continent, I was self-important, thinking that I would definitely be able to break out a piece of heaven."

"I was the same as you, unwilling to be a miner, so I took action!"

"And then... I was slapped back to reality, and I have been digging mines here for three hundred years."

Kuai Yan revealed a bitter smile, a hint of unwillingness flowing in the depths of his eyes.

"Our understanding of the power of laws is incomplete, and we can't use it at all on Changsheng Continent. You should have tried it just now, so we have no chance to resist."

"Besides, even if we escape the mining vein and go to the outside world, without Immortal Source Stones to provide Immortal Qi, we are no different from ordinary people, and it won't be long before we die an unnatural death."

"If you don't do it, you have to die; if you do it, you can't see any future."

Kuai Yan's words made Ye Lin silent.

Kuai Yan didn't do anything wrong; he was a well-deserved genius, but his only mistake was that he was born in the wrong place—he wasn't born on Changsheng Continent, but in a small place.

People who walked out of small places, even if they tried their best, would most likely not be as good as ordinary people born on Changsheng Continent.

When Kuai Yan's father held him above his head, he didn't expect that his child would be so bitter after growing up, right?

Ye Lin reached out his hand, wanting to comfort Kuai Yan.

But he suddenly remembered that the Outer-Realm Heavenly Demon that Kuai Yan kept cursing was himself; in the end, Ye Lin had to take at least half the responsibility for Kuai Yan's current plight.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin silently retracted his hand.

He was just this low-key; he never left his name when doing good deeds. ===== CHAPTER 583 =====
