The Quest for Immortality

Shangguan Wang, this old creature, is consumed by greed and thirst for power, and has a deep fear of death, yearning deeply for immortality.

Among those present, aside from Mr. Tu, he is the Feathered Immortal Cultivator whose heart can be most easily read by Mo Hua.

Shangguan Wang doesn’t care at all about the Shangguan Family, the Evil God, or the Righteous Dao versus the Demon Path; he only cares about whether he can achieve eternal life.

Upon hearing Mo Hua’s whispers, Shangguan Wang’s heart trembled as he suddenly turned to Mo Hua.

He saw the determination in Mo Hua’s clear eyes.

Mo Hua also saw the yearning and concern in Shangguan Wang’s eyes.

Mo Hua softened his voice:

”You took the Divine Fetus from his mother’s womb, separating mother and son, which is a grave sin.”

”Now the Divine Fetus is about to completely merge with the Divine Lord, mother and child are connected in heart, and this pain will remain in the Divine Lord’s heart, making you equivalent to separating mother and son, thus the Divine Lord will surely punish your Divine Soul.”

”Mr. Tu didn’t tell you this.”

”He is harming you; he wants you dead. That’s why he let you do things related to causality, opposing the Divine Lord... and you know nothing...”

Shangguan Wang turned pale upon hearing this, with a chill rising in his heart.

He didn’t know whether it was true or false, but even a slight possibility of truth meant he was guilty beyond redemption.

Mo Hua noticed Shangguan Wang’s fear and softly continued: ”But everything has both disadvantages and advantages...”

”Though you committed a sin, without you, Yu Er could not become the Divine Lord.”

”If you now abandon all selfish thoughts and fully dedicate yourself, showing loyalty to Yu Er and the Divine Lord, I can speak favorably for you, naturally erasing your sins and granting you the greatest grace...”

Mo Hua’s voice was sacred and solemn, yet simultaneously like seductive Ghosts and Specters.

He used the fear of the Evil God to nurture Shangguan Wang’s fear, then offered him hope within the fear.

Shangguan Wang’s mood fluctuated erratically with Mo Hua’s words, going from fear to joy.

At that moment, he truly wanted to follow his instincts and obey Mo Hua’s commands.

However, he was highly suspicious and couldn’t help but weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

Mo Hua’s gaze was icy, ”I said, abandon all selfish thoughts and fully dedicate yourself; only then can the Divine Lord feel your sincerity.”

”Your selfishness indicates weak faith.”

”With weak faith, your sins are not worth forgiving, and the Divine Lord has no reason to keep you...”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wang felt a chill throughout his body and immediately did as Mo Hua said, abandoning all distractions, body and mind, becoming a peculiar devotee of the Divine Lord.

Indeed, once he developed faith, his heart no longer hesitated, feared, or was timid.

A strong force of conviction spread through his entire body.

Shangguan Wang’s gaze became steady:

”The Divine Lord is my master.”

”Yu Er is also my master.”

”I will wholeheartedly serve my master and follow my master’s commands.”

Mo Hua nodded, ”Your master now commands you to escort us out of here.”

Leave?

Shangguan Wang instinctively wanted to entertain some thoughts, but as he raised his head and met Mo Hua’s dignified, profound gaze, seemingly capable of seeing through people’s hearts, he became resolute and dared not harbor selfish intentions or disloyalty towards the Divine Lord.

”Yes...”

All commands from the Divine Lord must be obeyed.

The Divine Lord resides in Yu Er’s body, so all commands from Yu Er must also be obeyed.

And Mo Hua is Yu Er’s ”representative,” thus all commands from Mo Hua must naturally be obeyed.

Shangguan Wang understood all of this and immediately bowed and said:

”I obey the Divine Lord’s command.”

Nearby, there were three or four Demon Cultivators from Yin Corpse Valley and the Demon Sword Sect, who had previously entered the hall together with the Old Demon Heads of the two sects. At this moment, seeing Shangguan Wang’s inexplicably devout and peculiar behavior, bowing to Mo Hua, they frowned and tried to hinder him, saying:

”Elder Shangguan, you mustn’t...”

Shangguan Wang immediately used a blood-red Longsword to decapitate these Demon Cultivators, ending their lives, and sneered:

”You dare to obstruct my devotion to the Divine Lord? You deserve to die.”

Mo Hua’s gaze was gratified and immediately acknowledged: ”Elder Shangguan, the Divine Lord senses your devotion.”

After saying this, he gently patted Yu Er’s shoulder.

Yu Er’s eyes were vacant, but she nodded gently at Shangguan Wang.

Shangguan Wang was thrilled, receiving affirmation from the Divine Lord. His devotion became fervent, and he no longer harbored dissent as he bowed and led the way for Mo Hua and Yu Er.

This scene also caught the attention of Mr. Tu, the Feathered Immortal Cultivators from Yin Corpse Valley, and the Old Demons from the Demon Sword Sect who were engaged in slaughter.

Seeing fellow Demon Cultivators being killed, the Feathered Immortal Cultivators from Yin Corpse Valley and the Old Demons from the Demon Sword Sect became furious.

Even more enraged was Mr. Tu.

He was the Divine Lord’s only servant, serving him with utter dedication.

But now, this Shangguan Wang dared to try replacing him.

Even more outrageous, Mo Hua, this treacherous vessel of the Fierce God, had already taken his place, seizing the opportunity while the Divine Lord was merging and his consciousness still not awakened, becoming the one closest to the Divine Lord.

Truly outrageous!

Mr. Tu let out a long roar, his flesh contorting into a four-clawed Demon Monster, intending to charge at Mo Hua and Yu Er.

But the next moment, a Golden Corpse suddenly blocked his path.

The turbulent Demon Eye Sword Qi continued to firmly seal his aura.

Mr. Tu’s heart filled with fury, his gaze crimson, then he coldly laughed: ”You... want to let the Divine Lord out?”

The Golden Corpse Feather Transformation in Yin Corpse Valley coldly laughed, ”My Yin Corpse Valley has long prepared the throne of ten thousand corpses to welcome the Divine Lord.”

The Old Demon from the Demon Sword Sect said devoutly, ”My Demon Sword Sect’s ancient true demon sword craves a true master.”

Not only Mr. Tu, but these Demon Sects also coveted the Evil God.

They longed for the slaughter and sins brought by the Evil God, as well as the almost invincible Divine Power possessed by the Evil God on the level of Divine Thought.
