The Demon Lord of the Outside World

Gu Realm, Southern Xinjiang, Senhailin.

The dense giant trees formed a natural wall in this dense forest. Together with the strange beasts in the dense forest, it was like a maze full of dangers. But there was a family settled here.

The Xu family, a family of Gu masters with a legacy. The night was deep. Even in the Xu family, most of the lights had been extinguished. Only a few watchtowers responsible for night alert still had a few faint lights.

In an inconspicuous wooden house in the family's residence, a gloomy-faced boy was quietly reading a book with the three words "Human Ancestor Biography" on the cover in his hand by the faint candlelight on the wooden table.

The boy's name was Xu Wang. He was originally an ordinary person in the 21st century of Blue Star. However, he encountered an accident while riding an elevator. The elevator climbed rapidly. Before Xu Wang could react, he came to this world the next moment and traveled to an orphan of the Xu family. A world of a novel he had read before.

This is an extremely dangerous world. Some people can practice with some strange objects that look like Gu worms and master extraordinary powers. These people are called Gu Masters. Civilians who cannot practice immortality can only serve as the cheapest basic labor force and do ordinary production work in exchange for the protection of Gu Masters.

Gu Masters are divided into nine levels. One to five levels are ordinary, six to nine levels are immortals, and the ninth level of Gu Immortals is called Immortal Lords. Only ten Immortal Lords have been born in the history of the Gu world. The strength of each Gu Master is very different, and the difference between immortals and mortals after the fifth level is even greater. Such a huge difference in strength also lays the foundation for the basic law that this world is the law of the jungle.

In this novel, the whole world can be said to be the chessboard of ten Immortal Lords. They use the world as a chessboard and all things as chess pieces to play against the will of heaven and fate. In such a world, Xu Wang can be said to be as small as a speck of dust.

When Xu Wang just learned this reality, he almost collapsed. Compared with the Gu world, the earth is simply a gentle greenhouse. What will happen if a sapling in a greenhouse is thrown into a desert full of yellow sand? The hope of survival is slim.

In the Gu world, ordinary people have to be cautious and respectful at first and arrogant later. Transmigraters like Xu Wang are directly defined as [Devils from the Outside World] by the Gu world. In a sense, transmigraters like Xu Wang are food caught by the Gu world. When necessary, they will devour the [Devils from the Outside World] in the body of [Devils from the Outside World] to strengthen the Gu world itself. It can be said that Xu Wang traveled to a world full of malice.

How to survive?

Although the parents of this body are the Gu masters of the Xu family, and he is qualified to participate in the family's awakening ceremony, how can he ensure that he has the talent for cultivation?

Even if he has the talent for cultivation, how can he grow up safely in the intrigue?

In the Gu world, if you don't become a Gu fairy, you will end up as dust. The road to becoming a Gu fairy is slim and the possibility is one in ten thousand. Even if you become a Gu fairy, what does it matter?

As an extraterritorial demon, can I protect myself in the era of the Gu world?

The ten great venerables and fate are like a sword hanging over my head, ready to be chopped down at any time, devouring all my values. How can I survive? How can I live?

Then... why not seek death?

After accepting the fact that he had traveled through time, Xu Wang looked at the only simple wooden table in his wooden house, on which were placed some books, some sundries, and a short knife left by his original parents.

Seeking death, how simple it is, just pick up the short knife on the table, cut your neck, and everything will be over. There is no need to think about the intrigues of the Xu family, no need to fear the dangerous encounters of cultivation, no need to worry about the layout and planning of the venerables, and no need to fear the lives of the Gu world.

So, why not die?

Xu Wang stretched out his hand and froze in mid-air. He didn't know how long he kept this posture until the sun set and the orange sunset shone on him.

In the end, Xu Wang did not pick up the short knife, but picked up one of the books on the side.

The book "The Biography of Renzu" is a mythical story in the Gu world, telling the story of the earliest human, Renzu, who constantly strived for survival in the Gu world. In the book, Renzu was troubled by difficulties, Renzu had gained and lost strength and wisdom, Renzu was so lonely that he dug out his eyes, and Renzu was played by fate again and again... Renzu experienced too much suffering in his life.

As night fell, Xu Wang lit a candle and continued to read the Biography of Renzu by the light of the fire.

Renzu had ten children, but they all died one by one because of carelessness, obsession, and fate. In the Biography of Renzu, the human species seemed to be suffering forever, even if there was a short period of enjoyment, it would be doubly painful afterwards.

In the end, Renzu's ten children died, and he and his ten children's bodies turned into the "human" race, and then disappeared from the world.

Died, all died in the end.

If that's the case, why didn't you just ask for death at the beginning? When reading the Biography of Renzu, Xu Wang thought so, and the more he read, the heavier this thought became. It was not until he had finished reading the entire ancestor's biography and the life of the ancestor that he was stunned.

In his confusion, Xu Wang thought of a story, which was the story of the ten daughters of the ancestor and the universe in the ancestor's biography.

…………

It is said that among the myriad poisons in the world, there is a poison called the sleep poison, which can make people fall into a long dream.

One day, the Sleeping Gu suddenly wanted to know, if a person falls into a dream of eternal life, how long will it take for that person to want to give up living, so the Sleeping Gu found the tenth daughter of Ren Zu, Yuzhou Dayan, and quietly let her fall into a dream of eternal life, and told her that we will meet every hundred years, and if you don’t want to live anymore, you can die.

In the first hundred years, Yuzhou Dayan experienced all kinds of interesting things in the world with surprise. Because she would not die, she was no longer afraid of any danger she had encountered before.

A hundred years later, the Sleeping Gu asked him: "Do you want to die?"

Yuzhou Dayan said: "Why do you want to die? I can experience everything in the world at will without danger."

In the second hundred years, Yuzhou Dayan found her lost brothers and sisters, and she felt the warmth of home.

A hundred years later, the Sleeping Gu asked him: "Do you want to die?"

Yuzhou Dayan said: "Why do you want to die? I have my family as a shelter, and I have the happiness of home!"

In the third hundred years, Yuzhou Dayan found that although she would not age, her family would. Ren Zu and his other children continued to age in front of Yuzhou Dayan until they passed away.

A hundred years later, Sleeping Gu asked him: "Do you want to die?"

Yuzhou Dayan said: "Why do you want to die... Although my family has aged and passed away, I may still find a way to revive them!"

In the fourth hundred years, the ten sons of Ren Zu died one after another due to various accidents, and only Yuzhou Dayan was left. She had no way to revive her family. Only she, not others, could live forever.

A hundred years later, Sleeping Gu asked him: "Do you want to die?"

Yuzhou Dayan said "No... Even if I am the only one left, I still want to live..."

In the fifth hundred years, Yuzhou Dayan wanted to cross the long river of time and bring the past Ren Zu and the ten sons to the present world, but she failed again and again, and she could not find any way.

Another hundred years have passed, and the sleepy Gu came to him and said: "Man, look at yourself, you have lost your family, family affection, love, and a place to stay, and in this world, you have no way to remedy it... You have nothing... Do you want to die?"

The tired Universe Dayan looked at the sleepy Gu, and after a long silence, he said: "Why... Why do you think people want to die? I want to live!"

"Why? You live so painfully." The sleepy Gu asked.

"I don't know..." Universe Dayan replied.

"But I think... there will always be changes when you are alive..."

………………

Xu Wang slowly closed the last page of the human ancestor's biography in his hand. In this page, the human ancestor used the evolution Gu to transform himself and his ten children into the human race. Even in the end, the human ancestor hoped that "humans" could survive.

At this time, the sky was no longer dark, and the day and night alternated. It was already a new round of sunrise.

Xu Wang slowly walked to the window and watched the morning sun slowly rise. His originally blocked mind was unblocked at this moment, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes at this moment.

Yes...alive...alive, there will always be changes, right?

The morning light shone on Xu Wang's body, he felt the warmth brought by the light, took a deep breath, and then slowly spoke.

I was confused when I traveled through the world outside the domain, and I was alone without any relatives.

It is difficult to recognize the road in the strange mountains and rivers, and the customs and people are all different.

I don't know where to go, and the way back is thousands of mountains away.

Even if I am confused and at a loss, I will still seek a way to survive.

Yes, I have come to this world, no matter how dangerous and difficult it is, I still want to live.

Why not die? If you want a reason, this is enough!
