The Quest for Immortality

Having lost the Qiankun Clear Light Lamp, and with the Six Yang Red Gold Cup shattered, the power of Divine Thought was almost depleted, and under the suppression of the ”Divine Authority” Law, True Man Situ looked desolate, resigned to await death.

His fate was already sealed.

The Evil God True Embryo was just about to spew a cloud of black mist to finish off True Man Situ, when suddenly, with a sinister smile, it pounced in front of True Man Situ. It opened its mouth wide, revealing sharp fangs, and bit down on True Man Situ, severing his left arm which it then chewed and swallowed whole.

The Primordial Spirit is also one of a cultivator’s origins.

With his Primordial Spirit’s arm severed, True Man Situ was in intense pain, and soon drenched in cold sweat.

Even more terrifying to him was that, after devouring his left arm, the Evil God before him was nourished by his Divine Soul. Its wrinkled skin smoothed out bit by bit, its Divine Body grew taller and bigger, and its aura became even stronger.

At that moment, True Man Situ finally understood why all the Divine Thought Cultivators in this journey were merely ”polluted” and not utterly slaughtered.

It’s not just because their realms were high and their Divine Thoughts strong, so the demon monsters could only pollute them with Evil Spirit Laws rather than kill them with Evil Power.

The main reason was that these demon monsters were preparing ”food” for their Divine Lord.

The Evil God needed to feed.

The Evil God intended to use them as ”bait food,” to supplement and strengthen itself, compensating for the weakness after its birth and the deficiency in its innate origin.

The four Void Spirits and ten Feathered Transformation Primordial Spirits were an exceptionally powerful combat force, and also a bountiful ”sacrifice.”

Sufficient for this newborn Evil God to feed on for a long time, enough to support its rapid maturation, awakening of Divine Skills, and restoration of original True God strength.

Once the Great Wilderness Evil God matures and becomes a True God, descending upon the world, the Qianxue State Boundary would truly meet its demise...

True Man Situ felt deep pain and regret in his heart.

”We failed to slay the Evil God; instead, we’ve become food to nourish it, sinners to its world-ending will...”

The Evil God’s face was innocent yet sinister, its mouth wide open, fangs bared, ready to bite off True Man Situ’s head.

Now the situation was certain, no one could save him; True Man Situ’s face was pale and dejected.

The Evil God’s gaping maw drew ever closer.

Suddenly, Wenren Wan instinctively shouted, ”Stop!”

True Man Situ was taken aback, then looked astonished.

What astonished him was that upon hearing Wenren Wan’s words, the massive, gaping mouth before him actually stopped.

The Evil God indeed didn’t continue to bite down or devour his head.

It seemed instinctively, unwilling to defy the order, and refrained from killing him.

True Man Situ was dumbfounded for a moment, then his heart trembled, understanding dawned.

A connection between mother and child!

The Evil God True Embryo had been hatched with Yu Er as the Divine Fetus, sharing the same origin, coexisting together.

And Wenren Wan was Yu Er’s mother.

In other words, in a certain sense, Wenren Wan was also the ”mother” of this Evil God.

The laws of mother and child created by heaven and earth naturally also applied to this Evil God.

Thus, It dared not defy a command from its birth mother.

Realizing this, True Man Situ was shocked.

He had misjudged the situation!

From the start, all those myriad Evil Spirits in this nightmare dared not harm Wenren Wan, because Wenren Wan was the ”birth mother” of their Divine Lord.

At the same time, True Man Situ felt deep regret.

Cultivators knew very little about Evil Gods.

This lack of divine knowledge meant he never considered that there might be a mother-child law influencing the Evil God.

Otherwise, Wenren Wan would have been their greatest reliance!

They could navigate this Evil God Law, center a god-slaying plan around Wenren Wan, using the mother-child connection to counterbalance the Evil God.

Utilizing the innate ”mother-child” law of all things to counter the godly gift of ”Divine Authority” Law.

In doing so, their chances of success in this endeavor would be exponentially greater...

True Man Situ’s heart was filled with remorse.

And the Evil God True Embryo was even more enraged.

It did not regard Wenren Wan as its mother.

How could a mere mortal woman be fit to be the mother of a deity? Yet the mother-child connection law undeniably constrained this Evil God.

The Evil God roared, emitting a shrill screech, then tried to continue devouring True Man Situ.

But Wenren Wan’s order had been given, and no matter that it was an Evil God, it couldn’t defy it, nor could it strike True Man Situ.

The Evil God’s rage intensified, and moments later, its eyes gleamed with an eerie light, seemingly recalling something from its inherited memory, then turned its head and walked towards Yu Er.

Seeing the Evil God no longer targeting him, True Man Situ felt a slight relief.

But in the next instant, watching the Evil God move towards Yu Er, True Man Situ felt his briefly calmed heart leap once more.

In a flash of realization, True Man Situ understood what the Evil God intended to do:

It wanted to devour the child and the mother!

Wenren Wan had given birth to Yu Er.

The Evil God had used Yu Er as its fetus, hatching together.

The Evil God was thus bound by the mother-child law of heaven and earth, and the causal link of this law was Yu Er.

As long as it devoured Yu Er, it would sever the causal link, the Evil God would no longer be bound by the mother-child law.

Then it could devour Wenren Wan, thus completely severing this cause and effect.

Devouring both child and mother, severing human ties, the Evil God would create its own cycle of cause and effect, untethered by the mother-child law of creation.

It would truly be lawless, becoming the true... Great Wilderness Evil God.

True Man Situ was filled with indescribable terror: ”It cannot be allowed to devour them!”

Wenren Wan too realized this, her heart pierced with pain, and just as she was about to speak to stop the Evil God, the Human-faced Spider Demon let out a shriek.
