I was hiding from gods and demons at the beginning, but it turned out that I was the boss

Bai Jingyan looked at the orange peels floating on the river and sneered, "Food is not wasted. This dark river may have nurtured a demon soul that has turned into a monster."

The corner of Qingtian's mouth twitched, "So it ate my orange?"

"That should be the case." Bai Jingyan was a little worried. "Such a huge monster is not easy to deal with, and this is its home ground."

Qingtian rolled his eyes and said, "There's no need to waste time and energy. I'll carry you over."

"..."

Bai Jingyan took a deep breath, his face a little unnatural, "Are you... sure?"

"Don't be shy, come here." Qingtian spread out his hands and placed them flat in front of him. "With Emile's aura, it shouldn't be too much."

Bai Jingyan took a deep breath, paused for a few seconds, then lay down in the air awkwardly.

"Don't be so stiff. Your weight is nothing to me." After Qingtian said this, he took the initiative to give Bai Jingyan a princess hug and took him to the bridge.

Bai Jingyan's body was tense, and he looked at Qingtian's beautiful chin with a complicated expression, feeling very uncomfortable.

Once his eyes moved from the jawline to the slender white neck and full chest, his expression relaxed.

I can't hug her, but being hugged is also happiness...

After the two men stepped onto the bridge, the wooden bridge shook violently for a few seconds, and the Black River rolled up a few splashes of water, but finally it calmed down and tacitly allowed the two men to pass.

"Look, you made it here easily. Come down." Qingtian walked to the other side and looked at Bai Jingyan.

The dark environment concealed Bai Jingyan's flushed face. He stood up seriously and said, "You hold me very well and steadily..."

Ok?

Qingtian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you thanking me or praising me?" It sounds weird.

Bai Jingyan coughed and did not explain his nonsense, "Let's go, it's getting late."

After passing through the third magic barrier, they finally saw the scene they wanted to see!

If the previous section of the canyon road was a winding deep valley river, then this place was like a hole between heaven and earth.

At the bottom of the canyon, which was originally very low, a funnel-shaped hole of more than 100 square meters appeared, spiraling downward.

The cold and gloomy demonic barrier filled the blurred scene around. Looking up, there were towering canyon cliffs, and looking down, there was a bottomless pit.

"What should we do now? I feel a strong demonic energy below, mixed with the breath of life." Bai Jingyan said.

Qingtian nodded. "The time and space nodes of the Dark Abyss and the Fountain of Life should be down there. Now that we are here, let's go down and take a look."

After the two of them reached a consensus, they used their magic power, each flew into the air, and then swirled down along the tornado with a shrill sound in the hole.

"Hold my hand tight, the wind is a bit strong, let's not separate." During the descent, Bai Jingyan took the initiative to hold Qingtian's hand.

Qingtian hummed and did not avoid the question.

Soon, the two men reached the bottom of the hole following the rotating downward wind.

"Oh no! There is a space rift below, we have to get out!"

Qingtian said, pulling Bai Jingyan out of the tornado, and landed on the uneven, cracked dark purple hills below the hole...

Looking at the vast and strange dark hills without vegetation, Bai Jingyan sighed: "I didn't expect there would be such a desolate place below the Broken Canyon."

Qingtian frowned and looked around, finally focusing his gaze on the space crack where the tornado was pointing.

"This is the intersection of two time and space, otherwise there would be no such terrain inside the continental plate."

Bai Jingyan seemed to be thinking, "You mean, this place is the node where another time and space intersects with Lan Ze."

"Well, and besides, I always feel that this terrain... is somehow familiar." Qingtian walked on the dry dark purple sand with a serious expression.

Bai Jingyan followed behind her and wrinkled his nose slightly, "I seem to smell a lot of demons."

Qingtian paused, and his guess became clearer.

She took out her dagger and slashed a magical trench on the ground.

Under the broken sand and gravel, there were things that looked like remains. Some had turned dark purple and black, while others still glowed with a strange light. In addition, there were also broken spiritual weapon fragments and a small amount of weapon fragments that had lost their spiritual power...

In an instant, Qingtian and Bai Jingyan widened their eyes and understood something.

Holy area!

It turned out to be the divine realm that was destroyed two thousand years ago!

And this hill is one of the battlefields of gods and demons...

"I never thought that we would return to the Divine Realm two thousand years later." Bai Jingyan looked desolate, as many memories came flooding back.

Qingtian's eyes were dazed, his heartbeat accelerated, and his breathing became deeper and deeper.

Many questions flashed through her mind, and finally were strung together on a thread... a thread that tightened her throat, making her so painful that she couldn't believe it.

After a while, she asked faintly, "Bai Jingyan, the battlefield of gods and demons in the past has become like this. Do you think it is still the realm of gods?"

Bai Jingyan didn't quite understand what she meant, "What do you want to say?"

Qingtian's eyes darkened. "This hill was originally the edge of the Protoss' main continent, but now it is filled with demonic barriers, containing magic power and dark pollution. This place has long since become a standard demonic territory."

Bai Jingyan was slightly surprised, but he had to admit that this place was indeed more in line with the standards of the Demon Realm. After thinking about it again, he suddenly understood Qingtian's heaviness.

"So when an area is destroyed and collapsed, it will eventually become part of the Demon Realm?"

Qingtian slowly squatted down, grabbed a handful of gravel, and crushed it gently. "Yes. Even the most spiritual and vibrant continent will be like this once it collapses and becomes desolate."

"The bodies of dead demon gods will also release spiritual energy over a long period of time. If I'm not mistaken, the reason why the Broken Canyon is rich in spiritual stones is because it is related to these energies."

Bai Jingyan looked at her in surprise. "You mean the spiritual power of the spirit stone comes from the spiritual energy accumulated in the Broken Divine Realm? That is, the magic power contained in this area now?"

Qingtian nodded slightly, "Yes, that should be it."

"But the spirit stone stores attributeless spiritual power..." Bai Jingyan suddenly stopped talking halfway. He thought of the Emile clan's demon revival plan.

One of them is magic pollution, the hidden pollution attached to the spirit stone...

Qingtian looked at him with a slightly cold gaze, "Perhaps the spirit stone should have been called the magic stone originally, but it was purified by the energy of the Fountain of Life during production and became a spiritual power without attributes."

"But if the Canyon Demons who control the spirit stones want to revive their tribe, they will definitely do something."

"Lan Ze's spirit stones are divided into different grades. The lower the grade, the more dark pollution it may contain. However, these cheap low- and medium-grade spirit stones are used in every corner of the continent and are used by many ordinary practitioners for cultivation."

"Generation after generation of humans have relied on spirit stones. The trace amounts of pollution will eventually accumulate to a terrifying level, becoming a source of pollution that will completely transform the human race."

"Bai Jingyan, is what I said correct?"

"......"

Bai Jingyan stared at the clear sky in a daze, his eyes dim, "Sorry, I want to confirm the facts before telling you."

Qingtian lowered his eyelids, "Maybe you are looking forward to it too."

Bai Jingyan looked at her with a complicated expression, "Seeing the Canyon Clan's plan, I don't deny that I am shaken and selfish, but I am more worried."

"Ordinary humans who have been demonized by magic and darkness will only become low-level demons who have lost their humanity and no reason. And I don't want ordinary humans to become like that."

"So Qingtian, you don't have to test me like this. Even though I provoked the war between gods and demons two thousand years ago, I don't want the tragedy to happen again now."

"The Demon Realm I'm looking forward to is a place with the same civilization and development as humans. There's no point in having another chaotic Demon Realm."

"In this life, Bai Jingyan once talked with you about his ideals in the White Mist Forest, and promised you to trust and support each other."

"Although you have forgotten about it because you have removed the Demon Soul Seed."

"But I still hope you believe me."

Qingtian looked up at Bai Jingyan in surprise.

The Demon Emperor, who was obsessed with the growth and development of the demon clan in his previous life, finally changed.
