Chapter 209

"What Great Love Immortal Venerable? This is the Heavenly Demon Venerable of Refinement! The Heavenly Demon Venerable of Refinement is awesome!"

"For now, I dwell on a blade of grass; one day, I shall sing wildly and trample the mountains and rivers!"

"Today, I temporarily spread my wings to depart; tomorrow, I shall ascend to immortality and ride a phoenix!"

"Attitude is the mask of the heart!"

"Damn it, are you all possessed? How do these lewd lines just roll off the tongue?"

"It's over, it's over! The Myriad Heavens and Worlds are truly about to descend into chaos!"

"Heh, how could mere mortals understand me? I will not rest until I reach the end of the road!"

"Wu Yong, ah, what a pity for Wu Yong as a person!"

"What a pity for a hammer! From now on, this Wu Yong has left his name in The Myriad Heavens and Worlds! Though not a child of fortune, he can still become a legend!"

"Winding paths end, heaven and earth narrow; layer upon layer of calamities make life and death trivial; the body is like willow catkins blown by the wind, yet the intent remains one whether in clouds or mud!"

"On the River of Upstream Flow, immortals retreat; love cannot defeat tears of persistence; fate is born, destined to fail; the Immortal Venerable regrets, but I do not!"

"This is me, a small person's persistence. Spoken so well! Damn it, someone is speaking for us small people!"

"'The Small Person' redefines the small person! Damn it, is Fang Laomo still a small person?"

"If a man does not unfold his lofty aspirations, he vainly wastes his eight-foot body born of heaven!"

"It is merely some wind and frost!"

"Heh, I really don't know what you dogs are barking about? A being who extinguishes humanity, erases family bonds, abandons everything, slaughters his own clan, and refines children into Gu worms—such a pure-born bastard is still being praised? Are you all demons of the Demonic Path?!"

"Yes, Fang Yuan is indeed a born bastard, so what? Being a bastard is being a bastard, but it doesn't hinder the charm of the Great Love Immortal Venerable!"

"From now on, I am willing to call Fang Yuan the number one demon in The Myriad Heavens and Worlds!"

"Good lord, the number one demon in The Myriad Heavens and Worlds? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"How could it be an exaggeration? Damn it, Fang Yuan is a pure-born bastard; compared to Tang San, I think Tang San is just so-so!"

"Tsk, comparing Fang Laomo to Tang San? Is Tang San even worthy? Tang San is just a hypocritical dog. Hmm, the Tenth-Refinement Dead Wife Gu! The Dead Wife Heavenly Venerable, is it?"

"In short, this Fang Yuan is a stone-cold bastard, a pure egoist, shameless, ignoring honor, with no moral bottom line! I have only one feeling now: learn to persist!"

"Damn it, Fang Yuan truly carried persistence to the end, bringing persistence to its fullest expression. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he fought to the very last. If he failed, at worst he would start over. This is the true character destined to achieve great things!"

"Fang Yuan started with small matters, never aiming high but failing to act low. Troublesome tasks were always done first: raising Gu, refining Gu, researching killing moves, studying Gu formulas, managing the Immortal Cave, maintaining resources, doing business in the Precious Yellow Heaven, managing interpersonal relationships, building a foundation..."

"Every second was wasted except for basic rest time! I can only say this is completely different from Chen Beixuan, Li Li Qiye, and others. It's too real, damn it too real. Sometimes I even wonder if Fang Yuan is really a child of fortune..."

"Fang Yuan is a scheming beast! Seeing that sea of people, I was completely dumbfounded!"

"A sea of people... Good lord! If you hadn't said it, I would have completely forgotten... This title of 'Number One Demon in The Myriad Heavens and Worlds' is truly well-deserved!"

"A sea of people? Huh? What is this thing? I just saw the ending and vaguely feel like I skipped it. Is there any Daoist friend who can explain?"

"A sea of people! Hmm, this is a Secret Realm created by Fang Yuan. It can consume human popularity to resurrect people, but while the Sea of People is complete, the Mountain of People is indefinitely far away, causing the Secret Realm to be incomplete and needing more human popularity... And Fang Yuan's method of supplementing human popularity is killing! Killing until rivers flow with blood, killing until heads roll! Thousands upon thousands are not enough to describe it... This 'sea of people' is not a metaphor, but a real sea of people..."

"A bastard! This is a stone-cold bastard! A demon, a true demon! Why do you still revere him so? Do you not fear becoming one of the souls under his hand?"

"Heh, you dare say that? One seat in the front row of the Sea of People! (Funny. jpg)"

"Fang Yuan is indeed a bastard; no one claimed he was a good person. Fang Yuan is revered for two reasons: first, because he can use any means necessary to achieve his goals, advancing unswervingly, with everything done solely for that result."

"Second, because among so many children of fortune, Fang Yuan is undoubtedly a pure egoist."

"All the past is merely wind and frost on the road to immortality to him. An extreme egoism that leaves nothing but himself has forged an extreme attitude that leaves no retreat. Before such a person, what 'sacrificing a wife to prove the Dao,' what 'sacrificing relatives,' what 'refining the heart in the mortal world' are all only fit to hold his shoes."

"Third, Fang Yuan is less a child of fortune and more a standard villain who remained unswerving under the trials of a great age, and moreover, a successful villain!"

"He calls himself a small person yet possesses all the qualities of a successful villain: that near-religious belief that all beings must carry his sedan chair and even immortals must close their eyes, which pervades Fang Yuan's path to immortality."

"I suggest not applying the morals of our world to the Gu Worm World. Although Fang Yuan can be considered a bastard in the Gu Worm World, ninety-nine percent of Gu Masters in the Gu World are bastards by our standards!"

"Indeed! Even a First-Refinement Gu Master can easily oppress mortals, and most prioritize profit above all, already planning how to renege on their vows the moment they make them! Damn it, in the Gu Worm World, the righteous and the demonic are the same; even the Righteous Path of the Eastern Sea refines people to create the Sea of People. It's just that Fang Yuan's lower limit is even lower than theirs, and he is more pure than them."

"Fang Yuan is more pure, more extreme evil. If the whole world is full of bastards, why not be even more of a bastard oneself?"

"Spoken well! At the summit of Soul-Cleansing Peak, you are the peak; in the Sea of People, you fill the void!"

"Sigh, you can't say that! Not everyone is a bastard. Immortal Venerable Happy Land can be counted as a truly good person, right?"

"Happy Land counts as a good person, then what about Long Gong? Does Long Gong not count as a good person?"

"No, Long Gong can only be counted as a good person for the Human Race. For the Dragon People clan, even though Long Gong is the existence that created them, he is a bastard!"

"What is most admirable about Fang Yuan is that persistence! A small person, not a genius, a lowly one in the Gu World, persisting toward immortality. He truly embodied the four words 'Demon of the Demonic Path': taking a sharp, unconventional path, with a heart as hard as stone, using any means necessary."

"Fang Yuan, this extreme demon, is far superior to those psychologically twisted demons in The Myriad Heavens and Worlds. Although he kills, he understands why he kills. He does not kill out of temper. From beginning to end, he never fell into demonic madness; rather, he mastered the demon! He merely uses any means necessary to achieve immortality! In the eyes of the world, he is a demon, but that is only the world's perspective. His heart remains forever clear!"

At this moment, The Myriad Heavens and Worlds discussed...

Everyone was truly boiling over!

This Fang Yuan was constantly refreshing their worldviews again and again.

The Great Dao Gold List was entirely filled with discussions about Gu Yue Fang Yuan. This heat was unknown how many times higher than before.

And at this time, within the Snowy Sword World...

"Hiss, what a demon!" Xu Fengnian looked at the Great Dao Gold List with a face full of shock. After reading it, he was dumbfounded, unable to return to his senses for a long time.

"A true demon, a true beast! Ten thousand times more beastly than you!" The White Fox Face glanced at Xu Fengnian.

"Hey, hey, what kind of person are you, how do you speak? Can you even speak properly!" Xu Fengnian glared at the White Fox Face.

"A demon, a true demon!" Old Huang also sighed.

"A demon? No, rather than saying he is a demon possessing demonic nature, it is better to say he possesses divine nature!" Li Chungang suddenly spoke.

"Divine nature?" Upon hearing these words, the White Fox Face, Old Huang, and Xu Fengnian all looked at Li Chungang.

"Yes, divine nature, it is divine nature!"

Li Chungang spoke: "A god is like this: indifferent to everything, indifferent to nothing, all beings are equal!"

Within the Perfect World…

"This Gu Yue Fang Yuan… damn…" Even Shi Hao sucked in a sharp breath.

This Gu Yue Fang Yuan made him see ultimate evil, see annihilation, see… divinity!

Yes, Shi Hao also saw divinity!

Isn't that just what a god is?

"Kid, see that? I told you—this Gu Yue Fang Yuan would succeed. With such qualities, how could he possibly fail?" The little tower's voice rang out.

Shi Hao fell silent.

…

Within the Shrouding the Heavens World…

At this moment, after reading the Golden List of the Dao, Ye Fan and Pang Bo drew a deep breath, then let out a bitter laugh…

"What the hell—how the hell did this Gu Yue Fang Yuan pull this off? We're both transmigrants—why can he do this?" Pang Bo didn't understand. Damn it, they were both from Earth, both transmigrants—why could this Gu Yue Fang Yuan annihilate humanity, erase everything?

"It's still all that five hundred years that forged the Gu Yue Fang Yuan of today. Without that five-hundred-year rebirth, how could he have become this? From his memories, I can see—he once wanted to be a passionate male lead. But after being betrayed too many times, crushed too badly, he ended up like this!" Ye Fan spoke.

"Just a little wind and frost… ha…" Pang Bo was dazed.

"Today, my sword points to piled clouds—cultivating worms, cultivating men, cultivating heaven!"

Ye Fan murmured softly, his scalp prickling…

This Gu Yue Fang Yuan, when it comes to showing off, is damn good at it too!

…

At this moment, across The Myriad Heavens and Worlds, countless people were discussing it.

And at this very moment, the Golden List of the Dao shifted its image—new divine runes appeared…

【Seventh Place? Jian? Wei?】

【Third Representative Figure: Gu Worm World? Shen?】

【With a mere mortal body and ordinary, common talent, he gradually climbed the path to ascendancy!】

【He used the Spring-Autumn Cicada to return five hundred years into the past—everything began with the Spring-Autumn Cicada, and succeeded because of it!】

【Some say he annihilated humanity; some call him a beast; some call him a demon lord!】

【But he said: Just a little wind and frost!】

【He is not dark; he is not heartless or emotionless—only then could he reach his current height. At any moment, he could have died outright!】

【His goal is clear: he strives relentlessly for immortality, climbs step by step upward. We are all small people—he, in his past and present lives, has struggled to climb the path up the mountain!】

【He is the Immortal Lord of Great Love—and the Demon Lord of Cultivating Heaven!】

【Whether demonic path or orthodox path, his perseverance, his effort—none can ignore!】

【He understands better than anyone what perseverance truly means!】
