Chapter 688: I'd Rather Let a Dog Eat It Than Let You Eat It! (Second Update)
"Yes, rebirth against heavens!"
Emperor Jade nodded slightly.
"Little Fan Fan, you might not know, in this world, no one is immortal, not even Immortals and God Demons! Even the True Immortals of the Immortal World, their lifespan will eventually be exhausted, and they will enter the Underworld for reincarnation! Unless it's the one who sets the rules of the Heavenly Dao, there are no exceptions!" Emperor Jade answered solemnly.
"The lifespan of God Demons also has limits, it might be hundreds of thousands of years, tens of millions of years, or even measured in hundreds of millions of years!"
"It's just that these God Demons live longer, which makes others think they are immortal!"
"In fact, God Demons also die!"
After listening to Emperor Jade, Lin Fan nodded and continued to ask: "What does this have to do with the Demon Fruit? Can one be reborn by using the Demon Fruit?"
"Yes, but also no." Emperor Jade nodded and then shook his head.
"What do you mean? Stop talking in riddles." Lin Fan hastily telepathically communicated.
"God Demons irrigate the Demon Fruit with their own Essence Blood, the flesh and blood draw essence from the tree and finally condense into the fruit. Since the fruit contains the blood of God Demons, the Essence Blood carries memories from the ancient times of God Demons. Although it's not all the memories, to some extent, it can be said that the God Demons have been reborn against heavens!" Emperor Jade explained.
"Those Demon Fruits, once matured, will become a new God Demon! Although their cultivation is completely gone, because they carry ancient memories, their growth later will be extremely terrifying!"
"In that case, why isn't it called God Demon Fruit, but rather Demon Fruit?" Lin Fan found it strange; the name didn't seem quite right!
Emperor Jade paused for a second.
Then spoke quietly: "You've hit the nail on the head!"
"What do you mean?"
"God Demons are a species, there are good ones and bad ones. Most God Demons, although powerful, are also arrogant and disdain from bullying the weak human beings!" Emperor Jade said.
"Weak human beings? Are humans really weak?" Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.
Humans are incredibly defiant of the heavens!
"Don't use such a surprised tone! Among the myriad races of the universe, humans are really weak, even ranked at the back. You think the Human Clan is powerful, only because you live in the realm of the Human Clan. If you went to the realm of other species, you would find that humans are actually no different than ants." The image of Emperor Jade transformed into a little girl in the depths of Lin Fan's mind, shaking her head.
"Alright, let's continue talking about the Demon Fruit…" Lin Fan felt somewhat helpless.
He believed that what Emperor Jade said was true.
Humans were indeed very insignificant among the myriad races of the universe.
"Good! Those reborn from the Demon Fruit are no longer called God Demons, but Demons!" Emperor Jade spoke gravely.
"Why?"
"Because, no matter what God Demon, once reborn from the Demon Fruit, their nature will definitely change drastically, becoming more bloodthirsty, more cruel, more savage than before! In short, any negative emotions will surge exponentially! After all, the bloodline of God Demons inherently carries a combative nature, just think about it! These things, all condensed into a single fruit, when these elements suddenly come together, they will explode!" Emperor Jade said.
The conversation took a turn.
"However, you don't need to worry too much, the maturation of Demon Fruits takes too long, the weaker Demon Fruits mature in tens of millions of years!"
"While the powerful God Demons take hundreds of millions of years."
After listening to Emperor Jade's explanation, Lin Fan returned to the campfire and brought back more than a dozen delicious fish.
"Dawdling so much, it took you so long to come back, quickly grill these fish!" Qin Feiyu saw Lin Fan return and barked a command.
Lin Fa, as if bearing all quietly, placed the dozen fish on the fire to roast.
Soon.
All the fish were roasted, emitting a faint aroma of fish, tempting one's appetite!
There were sixteen fish in total, Zhuge Yang, Heng Xiu, She Fengyu, Qin Feiyu, Yuan Yao, Hao Qingyu, Sima Xuan, along with Lin Fan, exactly eight people, each person got two.
"What are you waiting for? Why not quickly distribute the fish to everyone?" Qin Feiyu glared at Lin Fan, "you waste, can't you be a bit more observant, do we have to come and get it ourselves?"
Lin Fan remained silent.
He distributed the roasted fish to everyone, two to each.
For cultivators, at their level of realm, they do not feel hunger whether they eat or drink.
But, eating something is harmless!
When the crowd received the grilled fish from Lin Fan's hands, their expressions were cold.
Only Sima Xuan gave Lin Fan a slight smile, saying, "Thank you!"
"No need to thank me."
Lin Fan shook his head.
When the last person had received their share and was about to taste their two pieces of fish.
"Slap!"
Qin Feiyu swiftly stepped forward, and violently threw the two grilled fish from Lin Fan's hands onto the ground.
"Damn it, who allowed you to eat? Even if a dog were to eat, you wouldn't be allowed!" Qin Feiyu said, looking at Lin Fan with a smirk.
For some reason!
Whenever Qin Feiyu saw Lin Fan, he felt extremely annoyed!
Especially Lin Fan's calm expression made Qin Feiyu feel even more irritable.
Therefore.
No matter what Lin Fan did, Qin Feiyu would always find trouble with him!
With Zhuge Yang present, Lin Fan wouldn't dare to hit him!
Lin Fan raised his head, and a hint of cold chill passed through his eyes, although it was just a fraction of a second, that coldness vanished without a trace.
But.
Qin Feiyu still shivered and instinctively took a half step back, looking at Lin Fan: "What... what are you going to do?"
"Hmm?"
Zhuge Yang's brow furrowed, and in that instant, he too felt the chill emanating from Lin Fan!
But, almost as soon as it appeared, the chilling sensation disappeared!
Was it his own illusion?
Lin Fan remained silent.
"Fuck! You trying to scare me? Damn it, you wanted to eat grilled fish right? Fine! Go ahead and eat! Eat it, I tell you!" Qin Feiyu lifted his foot and stomped hard on the grilled fish on the ground, squashing it into pieces.
"Eat! Eat it, I tell you!"
Qin Feiyu continued shouting, glaring fiercely at Lin Fan.
Suddenly.
A cool voice came:
"Enough! Qin Feiyu, you've gone too far!"
The crowd was somewhat surprised, all turning to look at Sima Xuan.
Lin Fan was also surprised. Sima Xuan actually spoke up for him? That's strange.
"Sister Sima, what's wrong?" Qin Feiyu was startled.
"Hmph!"
Sima Xuan snorted coldly, displeased: "Qin Feiyu, you are going too far. Lin Fan has no grievances or grudges with you. Along the way, he has been diligent and uncomplaining, collecting firewood, grilling fish, and finding places to rest; it's all been done by him. And you still treat him like this? Are you mentally disturbed?"
The tone of Sima Xuan was very impolite.
