Chapter 194

This news was simply too explosive.

They never imagined that Gu Yue Fang Yuan was actually a demon lord.

His methods were utterly cruel!

At last, he had broken free from all constraints, finally shed the rigid image of the chosen one of fate…

Exactly!

Who says the chosen one of fate must be righteous?

Who says the chosen one of fate must be noble and glorious?

Why can't a demon lord be the chosen one of fate?

Gu Yue Fang Yuan?

At this moment, countless beings across The Myriad Heavens and Worlds grew interested.

They wanted to see just how monstrous this Gu Yue Fang Yuan was, how beastly, and what heinous acts he had committed.

Hm?

What? Killed millions to forge the Spring-Autumn Cicada?

Ha, if anyone truly knew how to forge the Spring-Autumn Cicada, even billions would be willing to try!

Not just the demonic sects—even the righteous cultivators couldn't resist such temptation!

The Spring-Autumn Cicada is too outrageous!

Just listen to how those people demanded Gu Yue Fang Yuan hand over the Spring-Autumn Cicada.

Under the guise of exterminating evil and defending the Dao, weren't they just after the Spring-Autumn Cicada?

At this moment, the scene showed…

Inside the demonic lair of the Savage Mountains.

Gu Yue Fang Yuan wore a tattered green robe, his hair wild, his body drenched in blood—a true demonic patriarch!

Around him, countless cultivators stared at Gu Yue Fang Yuan with cold eyes!

Clearly, they had all come to exterminate Gu Yue Fang Yuan.

This demon lord deserved death at the hands of all.

From Gu Yue Fang Yuan's current state, it was obvious he couldn't hold out much longer.

Too many people had gathered.

The so-called righteous sects, the so-called virtuous ones, all came to slay Gu Yue Fang Yuan.

Of course, whether they came to kill him for justice's sake—or merely for the Spring-Autumn Cicada—no one knew…

But to others, it didn't matter.

All that mattered was exterminating this demon lord!

Just from the scene, it was clear: the outcome was sealed—Gu Yue Fang Yuan would not escape this encirclement.

To this, Gu Yue Fang Yuan felt only a trace of regret.

In the end, he had failed.

At this moment, The Myriad Heavens and Worlds also learned Gu Yue Fang Yuan's true identity.

It was strange, but Gu Yue Fang Yuan was originally from another world—a man from a place called Earth, who had accidentally crossed over into this world.

He had endured three hundred years of turmoil, roamed the world for two hundred.

Five hundred years had swiftly passed…

Now, he still faced death.

Yet, this death, Fang Yuan had long foreseen.

Because, as a transmigrator, he walked a different path.

Others walked the righteous path, draping themselves in the cloak of justice, no matter their deeds, always proclaiming themselves righteous.

But Gu Yue Fang Yuan was different.

The demonic path means cultivating no virtue, killing and burning.

The heavens and earth reject him, the whole world stands as his enemy, yet he still roams freely.

Yes!

Gu Yue Fang Yuan walked the demonic path!

He, from start to finish, walked the demonic path.

One's heart and nature are the foundation.

This was his true nature.

So what if he walked the demonic path?

So what if he walked the righteous path?

It was merely a choice…

Others chose—some walked the righteous path, some the demonic path.

But Gu Yue Fang Yuan chose nothing at all. What choice? All that nonsense was garbage!

He simply wanted to do it, so he did it.

He wanted to forge the Spring-Autumn Cicada, so he forged it.

As for the fact that forging the Spring-Autumn Cicada required killing countless innocent lives—so what?

What did that have to do with him?

Thus, in others' eyes, he was a demon lord, a vile, irredeemable beast.

"Heh. Hahaha…"

At this moment, Gu Yue Fang Yuan suddenly laughed; if the newly cultivated Spring and Autumn Cicada were effective, in his next life, he would still be a demonic fiend!

At this moment, a thread of hope surged in his heart...

The hope to never give up, no matter when!

So...

"Boom!"

At this moment, Gu Yue Fang Yuan ruthlessly detonated himself.

That terrifying shockwave spread a thousand li, sweeping away everything in an instant.

And likewise, before the self-detonation, Gu Yue Fang Yuan directly used the Spring and Autumn Cicada!

"Buzz!"

At this moment, in the void, upon the River of Time that no one could see...

A cicada, carrying a streak of light and shadow, swam upstream against the current.

Everything in this world was reversing; everything was retreating.

Just as if someone had pressed the rewind button, time began to flow backward!

The Spring and Autumn Cicada unleashed all its power, carrying that point of light, rapidly returning to...

Five hundred years ago!

And at this time, Gu Yue Fang Yuan was still young, not even having begun the awakening ceremony.

The him of now was only fifteen years old!

Gu Yue Fang Yuan, reborn, returned to his youth!

At this time, countless people across The Myriad Heavens and Worlds saw this scene and each one gasped in astonishment!

"Is this the first time we've seen a proper rebirth back to so many years ago?"

"This Gu Yue Fang Yuan, tsk tsk, is actually a demonic fiend? That's interesting..."

"A demonic fiend in the future, and then reborn back five hundred years... This humble Daoist feels that this world is about to suffer a great calamity!"

"Indeed, a demonic fiend reborn back five hundred years, carrying five hundred years of knowledge accumulation, carrying five hundred years of foundation; one can only say this world is in danger! By then, perhaps the entire world will be played into collapse by Fang Laomo!"

"Hiss, although such a world is not as bizarre as imagined, this Gu Yue Fang Yuan is a proper demonic fiend; if possible, I truly wish to enter this world, slay this Fang Laomo, and restore a bright and clear universe to the world!"

"Pah! Your old bastards' schemes have completely shattered right in my face! What you are thinking, do you really think others don't know? Isn't it just envy of that Spring and Autumn Cicada? Wanting to kill and seize treasure, yet still finding excuses? Still branding yourselves as sages of justice? Pah, disgusting!"

"Heh, this is the Righteous Path!? Laughable!"

"Tsk, do you know why you are not children of fortune? Children of fortune, killing to seize treasure, that is directly carved on their faces; their purpose is killing to seize treasure, yet they never brand themselves as sages... Oh, Tang San doesn't count... Such trash being a child of fortune is purely the world being blind!"

"So, you old immortals, wanting to get good things yet unable to save face, tsk, I look down on you old bastards!"

"Hmph, people of the Demonic Gate, again trying to bewitch the hearts of men!"
