Chapter 161: Nine Corpses of the Great Demons, Gu Jiangming's Perilous Situation!

"Go and do what you must do..."

On this day, after Jiu Jiu and Gu Jiangming had been together, Jiu Jiu looked at Gu Jiangming before her for a long while. After a good half-moment, it was as if she had let out a sigh of relief, or perhaps as if she had finally come to terms with something, and she spoke slowly in this manner.

Gu Jiangming looked at Jiu Jiu before him and listened to her words, remaining silent for a long time at this moment.

The feelings between him and Jiu Jiu naturally went without saying, even though in this Reincarnation, Jiu Jiu had almost coerced him into doing that sort of thing.

Yet, how could Gu Jiangming have the heart to blame the Jiu Jiu before him?

After all, after all, what Jiu Jiu wanted was merely to give birth to the daughter who was supposed to be born.

"And what about you?"

After a while, Gu Jiangming looked at Jiu Jiu before him and asked in a soft, gentle voice.

"Me?"

"I will naturally raise our child well."

"Go and do what you must do; this time, just treat it as my willfulness..."

Jiu Jiu put on her palace robes of her own accord, no longer looking back at Gu Jiangming.

Jiu Jiu did not even dare to look back at Gu Jiangming again; she was worried, worried that if she looked at Gu Jiangming a few more times, she would be unable to suppress her own thoughts.

But having lived through a lifetime of Reincarnation on Mount Shu, Jiu Jiu understood Gu Jiangming far too well.

Even if the time and space had changed, Jiu Jiu knew very well that no one could stop Gu Jiangming from doing what he wanted to do.

In fact, what Jiu Jiu did not tell Gu Jiangming was that by trapping him here for over three months, she had also caused the Red Lotus Demon Venerable to disappear for three months.

Whether it was the matter of Niankong Villa or Gu Jiangming spreading the Starfire Technique, countless people in this world had already set their sights on Gu Jiangming.

Trapping Gu Jiangming here was, firstly, because the injuries on Gu Jiangming's body truly needed a period of recuperation, and secondly, it was naturally due to Jiu Jiu's own competitive spirit; she truly did not want to lose to Liu Moran just like that.

"Your injuries have recovered, and the seals on your body have been broken. Now, go and do whatever you wish to do!"

After Jiu Jiu's figure paused for a moment, she left behind only these words. In the next instant, Jiu Jiu transformed into a wisp of cloud and smoke, dissipating within this villa.

As for Gu Jiangming, he watched the back of Jiu Jiu as she departed, remaining silent for a long time.

Even though he had been a husband to Jiu Jiu several times in the Mount Shu world, Gu Jiangming was somewhat unable to fathom Jiu Jiu's thoughts this time.

It was as if, as if Jiu Jiu had come to find him this time truly just to ensure their daughter would be born?

"What is all this!"

Gu Jiangming felt that the injuries within his body had completely healed, and thinking back on these three months of darkness, he could not help but rub his lower back.

If his intuition was correct, had he been used as a tool this time?

Although he had been used as a tool, Gu Jiangming felt no awkward emotions in his heart; after all, after all, Jiu Jiu was his wife, and what was wrong with doing what was expected with his own wife?

It was just that Gu Jiangming made up his mind to keep a constant watch on Jiu Jiu's due date.

After all, he, Gu Jiangming, only had a few extra wives; he was not some scum of humanity. For his own offspring to be born and for him, the father, to not be present, would be truly unseemly.

"I still need to recuperate for a few more days before I can leave..."

Gu Jiangming tried to stand up, but after doing so, he could not help but lean against the wall beside him.

It was not because of anything else, but simply because Gu Jiangming's legs were a little weak at this moment...

Even though Gu Jiangming's cultivation had reached the Enlightenment Stage, cultivation was one thing, but if an Immortal were to be drained endlessly for three months, even an Immortal would have weak legs!

【During your three months of interaction with Gu Jiangming, you have successfully conceived an offspring.】

【Due to the influence of unknown reasons, you know that the offspring in your womb is a daughter. Although your daughter is currently only an embryo, she already displays many extraordinary and miraculous traits.】

【Please note: Your daughter being born in this era may not necessarily be a good thing.】

As for Jiu Jiu on the other side, after leaving the villa, she saw several lines of text on the Seek Immortality Interface.

If it were before, Jiu Jiu might have paid more attention to the words on the Seek Immortality Interface, but at this moment, Jiu Jiu only looked at the villa behind her, a look of melancholy in her eyes.

If she could, Jiu Jiu truly did not want to be separated from Gu Jiangming.

Yet Jiu Jiu knew in her heart that if she insisted on keeping Gu Jiangming, she would likely be able to do so.

But what would happen after keeping him?

Jiu Jiu knew that she had indeed been a bit willful this time, but willful or not, Jiu Jiu ultimately did not want to become a burden that would drag Gu Jiangming down.

Seven days later, Gu Jiangming also walked out of the villa.

During these three months, a large portion of Gu Jiangming's injuries had actually been healed with Jiu Jiu's help.

Just like Jiu Jiu, Gu Jiangming also looked at the villa before him, lost in thought. After another half-moment, Gu Jiangming left the villa and continued to rush toward the territory he had previously reached.

Living in such an era, watching with his own eyes as all the Human Race either became food for the Demon Race or became Slaves to those great sects, Gu Jiangming's heart understood more and more why Liu Moran's future self would inherit the Heavenly Dao Organization.

It was simply because, simply because the desire to end such an era was truly his own, Gu Jiangming's, own idea!

"Starfire Technique..."

"A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

"Being born in such an era is a desperate era for any member of the Human Race."

"Some things may not show results when done, but if one does not do them, then one will certainly gain nothing!"

Gu Jiangming looked deeply at the sky before him, his gaze seemingly crossing space and time, seeing the order that belonged uniquely to this era.

【After the battle at Niankong Villa, your demonic reputation has become even more fierce!】

【In every corner of the entire mortal world, everyone knows the name of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable.】

【To the common people of the world, you are a Demon Venerable, and also an Immortal Venerable.】

【Your Starfire Technique has changed the fate of countless people. Even if such a change in fate is not necessarily a good thing in this era, there is no doubt that you have given the world a chance to say no.】

【To another group of people, you are a true Demon Venerable.】

【Practitioners from sects believe that you are destroying the order of the world and are a top-tier demon of the world.】

【To the Demon Race, you are an out-and-out great demon. You are frantically slaughtering every evil demon within your sight, turning the Human Race, who were once merely food, into hedgehogs that occasionally prick their mouths.】

【The Starfire Technique was created by you, but the ordinary people who obtain the Starfire Technique do not only have the Starfire Technique.】

【In any era, where there is oppression, there is resistance. Amidst this resistance, those of the Human Race who have stepped onto the path of cultivation have, in the end, not forgotten their original intentions; some have remembered your philosophy, and they have begun to follow in your footsteps, spreading the Starfire Technique throughout the human world.】

【They are the pioneers of the era, and likewise, they are the rebels of the era. Some died in battle while resisting the Demon Race, while others grew stronger and stronger through repeated combat and slaughter.】

【In just one year, you have already stirred up the entire world!】

【More and more people are practicing the Starfire Technique. Among them are fallen prodigies and buried talents; they may have been born into humble circumstances, but once given a chance, they will hold onto it with a death grip.】

【Perhaps they are not yet strong enough, but sooner or later, they will forge a new era—an era that belongs to the Human Race!】

On the Seek Immortality Interface, lines of text were refreshing once again.

Yet Gu Jiangming no longer paid much attention to the text on the Seek Immortality Interface before him; he simply watched earnestly, watching that group of the Human Race beneath the clouds using their own feeble strength to begin a desperate counterattack against the Demon Race before them.

Those of the Human Race who once held low status and were viewed as rations had gained power; they were no longer content to be food, no longer content to be Slaves, and they began to resist the sharp sword hanging over their heads.

And such scenes were not happening in just one territory, but in countless territories.

In over a year, Gu Jiangming did not know how many places he had traveled, but Gu Jiangming remembered—he remembered that every place he passed, he would always impart the Starfire Technique to those of the Human Race with low status.

If one were to cast their gaze across an entire era, they would be shocked to see that the entire human world was currently filled with a sense of restlessness.

That was the restlessness incited by Gu Jiangming, and beneath that restlessness, there was an even greater chaos sweeping through the entire era!

And as the instigator, Gu Jiangming, the name Red Lotus Demon Venerable became even more renowned.

To put it bluntly, the name Red Lotus Demon Venerable alone was enough to make countless members of the Human Race and the Demon Race gnash their teeth in hatred, becoming a common enemy.

It was just like a rice ball placed before someone, ready to be eaten at any time; suddenly, one day, the rice ball began to pick up knives and forks, picking up weapons to resist those who would eat it. Perhaps most of the time it could not cause harm, but the trouble it brought was obvious.

What the Demon Race feared most was that these rations were constantly growing stronger.

In just a short year, the number of low-level Demon Race casualties could likely be counted in the millions or tens of millions.

"We must come up with a solution!"

"If we allow that Red Lotus Demon Venerable to continue spreading his technique, I fear it won't be long before the order of the era changes!"

On this day, several terrifyingly powerful Demon Kings gathered on a mountain forged from white bones. The aura of each of these Demon Kings was so deep and horrifying that just by gathering here, the black clouds in the sky were also constantly converging.

If Gu Jiangming were standing here at this moment, he would be able to see that these Demon Kings were gathering terrifying baleful energy upon themselves.

These baleful energies were all formed from the unwillingness of countless humans before their deaths and the despair they felt when becoming rations.

Born in such an era, the Demon Race took the consumption of humans as a matter of course.

Of these Demon Kings gathered here, every single one of them, to have reached such a level, had no idea how many humans they had consumed.

And the change in the era was the first thing to trigger the fear of people like them.

Most importantly, with the Red Lotus Demon Venerable's constant actions and the Demon Race's constant probing, they already knew the strength of the Red Lotus Demon Venerable.

The strength of the Enlightenment Stage is very strong, extremely strong; even within the entire Demon Race, he is a top-tier powerhouse.

But in this era, the right to speak is held by the Demon Race; they are the true masters of this era!

On this mountain of corpses alone, there were more than nine Demon Kings of the Enlightenment Stage gathered!

Even Gu Jiangming had to admit that in this era, for these Demon Race members, it truly was the best of times!

"At first, we only thought the Red Lotus Demon Venerable was using those humans as cauldrons, and that the so-called Starfire Technique was merely a means for some Old Monster of the Human Race to harvest humans."

"For us, if that were all it was, it would at most be one more guy competing with us for rations."

"But now it seems, this so-called Red Lotus Demon Venerable is simply trying to smash everyone's rice bowl."

"You all probably don't know yet, but in the world today, the Starfire Technique has already been iterated to the ninth version, and among those ordinary humans who were originally just rations, Golden Core Stage cultivators have already been born."

"And this is only after a little over a year has passed!"

"I'm sure you all are well aware of the reproductive capacity of the Human Race; if we continue to let the Starfire Technique spread and let the Human Race continue to grow, in less than a hundred years, the order of the entire world will change!"

A Demon King with a hideous pig's head displayed its ghastly fangs, staring fixedly at the other Demon Kings before it.

Especially after this pig demon finished speaking, all the Demon Kings on the mountain of corpses frowned deeply at this moment; some felt the pig demon was being alarmist, while others were in extreme agreement with the pig demon's words.

"With the nine of us acting together, this time, no matter what, we must kill that so-called Red Lotus Demon Venerable in one blow!"

"Not just the Red Lotus Demon Venerable, but those humans who have practiced the Starfire Technique must also be buried, leaving not a single one behind."

"This era is the era of our Demon Race."

"In this world, the order is the order established by our Demon Race!"

"To go against this era and to oppose the order of this era is to oppose our entire Demon Race!"

A Demon King looked at the other Demon Kings before it and slowly stated the theme and goal of this operation.

They did not need to deliberately track Gu Jiangming's trail; after all, after Gu Jiangming spread the Starfire Technique, he was basically unable to conceal his tracks.

And this group of Demon Kings gathering was to move out together, and subsequently, completely erase Gu Jiangming, this factor that did not conform to the era!

【After you continuously spread the Starfire Technique, your actions ultimately attracted the gaze of nine Demon Kings within the Demon Race.】

【After the nine Demon Kings gathered, they decided that in the near future, they would completely bury you!】

When looking at the text refreshing on the Seek Immortality Interface, a sense of vigilance suddenly arose in Gu Jiangming's heart.

Although Gu Jiangming had long understood that he would eventually face this situation, this day had come even faster than he had imagined!
