I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night

A presence at the Creation Peak, casting a spell with his life, cannot be underestimated!

The middle-aged man's face turned extremely grim.

"I do not understand."

"..."

The old man tore open his chest, trembling, and pulled out his heart.

His heart, at this moment, was already decayed beyond measure, turning to dust.

"The ancestors of this old man were all ordinary members of the Human Clan, deeply sheltered by predecessors, surviving and thriving, until my grandfather's generation, when he had the fortuitous chance to be enlightened by an Elder of the Diancang Sacred Land, and thus practiced martial arts."

"My grandfather, throughout his life, reached Inner Strength, never achieved merit, but he counted as part of the Human Clan's martial artists."

"By my father's generation, he reached the Peak of Qi Refining Realm, entered the Holy Land, took on important duties, wielded authority, truly serving the Human Clan."

"My ancestors have long been under the protection of the Human Clan's sages, and it wasn't until my generation that I could truly stand as part of the Human Clan's upper echelon, to protect all beings, repaying the world."

He slowly said, "I am old, no longer filled with youthful passion; rather, ambition and Evil Thought linger...I can't claim to be a truly good person. Over the years, my methods were ruthless. Even at the Peak of the Refining God Realm, I craved merit and sought personal gain to gather enough resources, creating the Inner Realm Divine Domain."

"Once, when I witnessed the Evil Spirit devouring the Human Clan, I envied Its method of advancement, my Evil Thought stirred."

"I also once resented those juniors I guided, who didn't exert themselves to repay the kindness."

"But the Saint Master said, pointing to all living things, creating all, if one starts seeking profit, then it's not a good connection, but a business."

"Good and evil are but a thought away."

"I have made mistakes, and I have had thoughts."

"Yet, my entire life, I fought for the Human Clan!"

He looked at the middle-aged man before him and said, "I was born to the Human Clan, served the Human Clan, and have seen countless companions die in battle for the Human Clan... I am not Marquis Wangxi!"

The old man died.

Life was entirely absent.

The middle-aged man's eyes grew complex.

Only after a long while did this middle-aged man look up to the Sky Dome and ask, "When did you awaken?"

"Good and evil have always been hard to distinguish."

A quiet voice came from above the Sky Dome: "When you awaken, so do I. It's just that during the era of Deceit Night, everyone sought survival, decorum shattered, and there were those most foul and evil. Therefore, your Great Evil Divine Artifact will recover faster, so I could only lie in wait."

"Is it that in the current era, there are more good people than evil?"

The middle-aged man sneered and said, "This avatar of mine watched him for twenty-three years, took much Evil Thought from him. I never thought, in the end, you would intervene and keep his last sliver of good thoughts alive, thwarting my plan, all was for naught! This grudge is immense..."

"You and I both seek to seize power, take the first move from the Divine King, already incompatible as fire and water, irreconcilable."

The voice from above the Sky Dome continued: "He cursed you with his life, so when you harvest the Saint Master in the future, you will be slightly weaker...I will have the first move!"

"So, the one who caused trouble in Kang City, provoking the Saint Master, was also you?"

The middle-aged man said, "You want to use the Human Clan's Great Luck to layout the world and restore the Great Kindness Divine Artifact early?"

The voice from above the Sky Dome said, "Aren't you also leaving marks on the Saint Master, wanting to utilize the Great Luck to cause chaos in the Mortal World, thereby creating countless evil deeds, to restore yourself to peak strength?"

"In the world, evil ones have always outnumbered the good."

The middle-aged man said, "Even good people have Evil Thoughts in their hearts! Even the current Saint Master is not a man of utmost good; he has selfish intentions, more so a desire to kill..."

Above the Sky Dome, the kind Divine Spirit quietly said, "But he doesn't actively do evil, nor is he most foul and evil. He wants to save the world; that is great good! From him, this Great Fate Teller, I can obtain extremely high 'good thoughts'..."

"In Deceit Night, the Mortal World is filled with evil."

"But with the Saint Master in the world, intent on punishing evil and promoting good."

"So, in our struggle for position, it remains to be seen who will prevail!"

With the fall of the kind Divine Spirit's voice.

This middle-aged man said in a deep voice, "We've both marked the Saint Master...who he will become prey to in the future is uncertain; it all depends on our abilities!"

As the voice concluded, he reached into his bosom, took out a black jar, and shattered it on the spot.

The Qi Mechanism fused into himself.

He sighed, then severed his heart meridian.

This body is dead, should return to its nature.

——

Kang City.

Lin Yan gently closed his eyes.

He knew little about the Great Kindness Divine Artifact.

However, the Great Evil Divine Artifacts seemed to be numerous, scattered throughout the world.

Every Master of a Great Evil Divine Artifact collects Evil Thoughts of the world.

If Evil Thoughts are insufficient, they will scheme to make people most foul and evil.

Evil Thoughts collected into the Evil Jar, and the Master becomes stronger!

But once the Evil Jar is full, it's as if a pig is fattened for slaughter, to be devoured by the evil god behind the scenes.

"We haven't yet encountered the kind Divine Spirit, but the Evil God has probably recovered to a level that fears no Master of the Holy Alliance..."

Lin Yan said, "Judging by this, the Evil God has countless avatars, seducing people to fall into corruption, Its influence within the Holy Alliance is frighteningly immense..."

Little White Ape grumbled, "So the current high-level disagreements within the Holy Alliance, each vying for power and gain, is all because of the Evil God?"

Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Do not overestimate people's hearts. The Evil God is a huge influence, but the source lies in each person's different inner self!"

With that said, Lin Yan pondered, "What worries me now is that evil deeds are spread across the world. The number of the Great Evil Divine Artifacts is unknown; It can be said to have myriad avatars..."

"When the great era arrives in the future, It will surely stir up great chaos."

"If at that time, I am still alive and possess abilities not inferior to the Divine Spirit!"

"What ways will there be to completely eliminate It?"

——

Slaying God!

Slayer does, beneath rules, an act of great rebellion!
