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

[I never thought that they not only used the Fountain of Life to process the spirit stones, but also used it to reproduce a large number of demon descendants. ]

Qingtian sent a message to Bai Jingyan with a heavy heart.

Bai Jingyan knew more about the demons than Qingtian, and he was also very impressed. [Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for demons and humans to have offspring, and the descendants of high-level intelligent demons are also extremely rare.]

[They use the Fountain of Life to break the laws of nature and reproduce the mixed-blood demon race in large numbers. ]

[This type of demon has higher potential than lower-level monsters, and is relatively gentle in temperament. They can often fully transform into human form in infancy and can quickly integrate into the human world.]

[Objectively speaking, this is an excellent way for the demons to expand their population and coexist with the human race. ]

Qingtian looked at the young demons soaking in the spiritual spring water and said coldly: [For Lan Ze, this is a disaster. ]

Bai Jingyan fell silent. As a demon, he was also very conflicted at the moment.

He should be happy that the demon race has produced so many outstanding members, but the actions of the Canyon Clan violated the laws of nature and the wishes of the human race...

In fact, in the territory he controls, he also encourages humans and demons to interact and marry.

But if Lan Ze is really judged to be a part of the Demon Realm and connected to the main continent of the Demon Realm, the consequence may very well be that it will become the next God's Realm.

As Qingtian said, too many demons are indeed a disaster.

The Canyon Clan tried every possible means to revive the Demon Clan and pushed Lan Ze into an uncontrollable abyss.

The two men walked with heavy steps from the main hall to the two side halls.

Each side hall has young demons being cultivated in spiritual springs, but they are classified according to their potential and temperament.

[With so many young, I wonder how many mothers are needed.] After leaving the hall, Qingtian felt like a huge rock was pressing down on his heart.

Bai Jingyan replied awkwardly: [Demons are different from humans. It is difficult for them to conceive, but they can have two to five babies at a time. The higher their rank, the fewer offspring they have.]

[In the long run, the number is also terrifying.] Qingtian frowned, [That's why Emile and his men kept selling slaves, and even dared to abduct and sell cultivators. In the early days, the human-demon hybrids survived and multiplied for generations, and now I'm afraid it's hard to tell whether they are human or demon.]

Talking about this, Qingtian felt that his breathing was too heavy to bear.

Lan Ze, maybe it is no longer the Lan Ze she thought it was, but a demonic realm hidden beneath the surface of human society.

Beneath the apparent kindness of the world, is there a core of evil thoughts flowing in everyone's heart?

At this moment, Qingtian felt a little confused.

What is she guarding...

Is it the happiness of relatives and friends? The peace of Lanze? Or the tranquility of the human race?

But the human race of Ruolan Ze had already fallen and become corrupted, and was doomed to destruction.

Is there still meaning in her protection?

In confusion and chaos, she and Bai Jingyan came to the second temple.

If the first temple brought them shock, the second temple was extremely depressing.

The originally sacred temple was transformed into a huge prison.

Every cage and every chain showed the immoral plunder of life and the crimes committed over the years...

Qingtian's face turned gray.

This was the temple where she once read divine history, but now it had become a hatchery for demons and a living purgatory.

There were all kinds of unpleasant smells mixed together in the temple, and wailing and crying could be heard from time to time. Most people were resting, and a few were staring blankly with empty eyes...

Looking at the prisoner's skinny and disfigured faces, and his bulging bellies of varying sizes surging with demonic energy, Qingtian felt his eyes go dark and his stomach churn.

Bai Jingyan also stood there in a daze.

He was mentally prepared after seeing so many hybrid baby creatures before, but it was still hard for him to accept such an inhuman scene with his own eyes.

Even though one has seen the chaos and bloodshed of the Demon Realm in the past, one cannot ignore the cold and cruelty here.

These people seemed to be just lifeless containers, just to carry the future set by the demons...

The cool night breeze blew, and the damp and bloody smell in the hall made people feel sick. Qingtian and Bai Jingyan walked quickly through the main hall with cold faces and came to the corridor connecting to the side hall.

The faint light of the psychic lamp was like a ghostly fire in the dim corridor, unable to illuminate the two men's livid faces.

The tacit silence is the only understanding at this moment.

Curses and hatred cannot accuse the crimes that are so vivid in our eyes.

Bai Jingyan saw Qingtian lowering her head and crossing her arms in front of her. Under the light, her figure looked so thin and lonely...

"Feel sorry."

He didn't know what to say to comfort Qingtian.

Given his position as a high-ranking demon, it seems difficult for people to believe his attitude.

Qingtian raised his head, his eyes cold, "This is not your fault."

Bai Jingyan's expression darkened, "If I didn't have those obsessions in the past, none of this would be happening now..."

Qingtian shook his head and looked up at the gray and foggy sky of the divine realm, his eyes deep and gloomy.

"You and I are just a ripple in the intertwined cycle of time and space, neither the beginning nor the end. Maybe we will leave echoes along the way, but we will eventually fade away."

"Let's leave the self-blame in the past. We still have to move forward."

Having said that, Qingtian looked at Bai Jingyan seriously.

"Now that I think about it, the demons were once normal creatures. If they were not controlled by demonic desires, they might not have caused demonic disasters."

"If we can't stop Lan Ze from becoming the Demon Realm, then we'll try to pull the Demon Realm back to normal time and space."

"Like you said before, if you have tried your best, you will have no regrets."

Bai Jingyan smiled faintly, "You are stronger than I thought."

Qingtian sighed helplessly, "This kind of strength is not what I want."

The atmosphere eased and the two continued to move forward, seeing the side hall in front of them.

Many tall shapeshifting demons were coming in and out of the half-open door. Inside the door, shouts, laughter, crying, and cursing were mixed together...

"Let's not go over there." Bai Jingyan frowned and advised.

The discordant movement in the side hall made him feel so embarrassed that he could hardly contain himself. He didn't want Qingtian to see such a mess...

Qingtian's breathing quickened and she clenched her fists. A terrifying demonic pressure rose from her body. At this moment, she just wanted to overturn the entire hall!

Bai Jingyan frowned, took a step forward and pressed her into his arms forcefully, "Calm down."

Qingtian's chest heaved, and it took him a while to suppress his anger and impulse.

Bai Jingyan sighed and pulled her out of the passage.

The last temple was guarded by many high-level demons, and inside were spiritual stones that had been cleaned and sorted by the Fountain of Life.

The spiritual stones of varying shades of blue and purple have not yet been cut, and are neatly stacked together in large chunks.

Qingtian and Bai Jingyan discovered a huge space teleportation array in the temple's garden, and their doubts were resolved.

The demons must have used this teleportation array to connect the Broken Canyon and this place.

Most demons should be unable to leave the area surrounded by the demon vines, let alone see the dilapidated God's Domain Continent outside the area...

"Let's go to the Fountain of Life."

One of Qingtian’s goals is to use the Fountain of Life to remove the gray blood in the spiritual space.

After leaving the three temples, the two entered the steamy spiritual spring area deep in the dense forest.

Qingtian went straight to the spiritual spring in the center that could convey oracles.
