Under the dispersion of the black venom, even Lu Qingchen’s flames were corrupted and stained, like the flames in the mist.
“You are… Li Yao’s mental devil!”
Lu Qingchen was greatly shocked.
In the battle where the Black Wind Fleet a.s.saulted the Star Glory Federation, he had stolen ‘Black Swirl’, the flags.h.i.+p of the Black Wind Fleet, and fought against Li Yao and the mental devil until the sky was dark and the earth was dim.
Then, he was blown to pieces. A lot of his soul fragments were swallowed by the mental devil and turned into nourishment for its evolution.
Therefore, he was no stranger to the scent of the mental devil, if not unforgettable!
Lu Qingchen had thought that the mental devil, like Li Yao, was on the verge of death in the battle against the f.u.xis and had vanished into thin air.
He did not expect that the mental devil would be so evil, so strong, and so terrifying!
“Hehe. Li Yao’s mental devil? That was just a t.i.tle in the past. In the past, the brightness inside his body eclipsed the darkness. I could only live in the position of the ‘second personality’. For now, I can be considered a mental devil.
The mental devil spat out almost a hundred venomous snakes and thorns through the gaps of its teeth and grinned hideously. “But right now, thanks to you, you have raised the darkest corner of Li Yao’s heart and made me suppress the timid, soft-hearted, hot-blooded high school student.
“From this moment on, I am the real Li Yao, and that guy has become a small mental devil that has been completely suppressed by me. There will be no turning back. Haha. Hahahaha. Hahahaha!”
The mental devil burst into laughter. It was a hundred times more arrogant and brutal than Lu Qingchen.
“Qingchen, Qingchen…”
An extremely painful and feeble voice came from the tongue of the mental devil. Lu Qingchen observed carefully and realized that it was none other than Li Yao’s earthworm.
He saw that Li Yao was tied up by dozens of long tongues that were full of thorns and thorns. As if he had fallen into a viper’s h.e.l.l, he could not free himself and could only scream miserably, “Qingchen, you should believe it now. I’m not lying to you. I—I’m the same kind of person as you. I’ve experienced
everything that you’ve experienced. I’ve experienced the tiniest psychological anomaly that you experienced. I’ve struggled and suffered!
“When I was faced with the invasion of the dark universe, countless negative emotions that were b.l.o.o.d.y, brutal, and cruel were born uncontrollably. I had a strong desire to kill more than once. I wanted to kill, kill, kill, Kill, kill. I wanted to achieve my purpose by killing all my enemies. I had ambitions to
be the real supreme of the universe, the Star Ocean Emperor, the greatest hero in history. I wanted to carry out my will on every grain of sand on every planet so that everyone would listen to my command. I wanted to create a so-called ‘perfect world’ with my own wisdom and strength.
“Allin all, I’ve thought about all your plans and schemes for eight hundred years. I’ve thought carefully about every detail.
“Tcouldntt help but implement the arrogant and evil plans countless times. But in the end, I suppressed all the evil thoughts and compressed them into the so-called ‘Dark Personality’, which was the monster named ‘b.l.o.o.d.y Demon’. It was the only reason why the main personality was pure and flawless. It
was friendly, open, approachable, tall, handsome, and elegant.
“But—but I can’t completely destroy my dark personality. It is still corrupting and corrupting me all the time. Also, as my level increases and my ident.i.ty becomes more and more special, I am more and more stimulated and tempted by the outside world. It is getting stronger and stronger and more and
more uncontrollable!
“Te tried a lot of ways to control the monster in my heart so that I wouldn’t turn from a ‘dragon slayer’ into an evil dragon and become a great man like Xiao Xuance, Lu Zui, and Wu Yinggi.
“In the most extreme method, I even deliberately guided the spiritual flames of thousands of degrees to fiercely strike and burn my own brain, reducing my own wisdom and forcefully lowering myself to the level of a high school student, a middle school student, and even a primary school student. It was
all for the purpose of ‘mutual destruction. Both sides will suffer’. At the same time, I wanted to stifle the ability of myself and the mental devil so that the monster would not rush out of its body to harm the world.
“But now, now… I can’t hold it any longer.
“Ever since I defeated ‘Wu Yinggi 3.0′ and became the ‘Owner of the Gold Crystal Tower’ with the ability to broadcast to the entire universe through the stars, I really felt that I couldn’t hold on any longer. Every second, I was marching toward the abyss of total collapse and watching the monster devour me
one mouthful after another. But I just couldn’t get rid of it. I couldn’t get rid of the seemingly simple and tempting ‘final solutions’!
“Te been holding it in for a long time. It’s been hard for me. At this moment, the f.u.xis dealt me a heavy blow. Then, you said those words to provoke me and stimulate the dark desire deep inside my heart. Right now, I can’t control it anymore.
“Hurry up and run, Qingchen. You are definitely no match for it. Your darkness is nothing compared to it. There is only one solution. Run, run, and—Ahhh!”
The mental devil twisted almost a hundred tongues that looked like vipers, only to twist Li Yao into a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. He was in so much pain that he was screaming like a pig being butchered.
Even Lu Qingchen, who had gone through two rebirths and two soul explosions in order to be reborn as a demon king, was dumbfounded.
Xiao Ming and Wen Wen were so shocked that they almost cried.
“Don’t pay any attention to this noisy fellow. Let me get close to Nephew Lu. I feel that we have a lot in common. I can’t wait to tear open your chest and listen to your thoughts. Hehehehe.”
The mental devil chuckled. “Rest a.s.sured. I’m completely different from the timid, merciful, and naive guy. In fact, I like your plan very much, and I appreciate your ‘my life is up to me and not the heavens’ att.i.tude even more.
“Yes. I agree with you very much. There are no ‘innocent civilians’ in the capital city, the worlds around the capital city, or the Greater Thousand Worlds in the center of the sea of stars. There are only ‘enemy civilians’. As for the people of the Sanctuary Alliance, they are not human beings at all. They are
just puppets made of flesh and blood whose brains are empty.
“Whether it is the civilians of the hostile nation or the flesh puppets, as long as it can help us unite the sea of stars and carry out our will, it doesn’t matter how many people die!
“And as long as we control the f.u.xi Fleet, the federal expedition army through Ding Lingdang, the imperial guards of the Star Ocean Imperium, and the rebels through Li Jialing, hehehehe, we will be able to unite all the stars.h.i.+ps with the most powerful primeval crystal processors. Then, we will be able to
use the most loyal members of the Star Glory Federation as commanders at various levels, and we will immediately have an invincible super fleet. We will be the sole ruler of the universe. Who will dare to compete with us in the entire universe?
“At that time, whatever we are going to do—whether it is to spread the Great Dao of Cultivation to the entire sea of stars, to gather the strength of mankind to study the Divine Edict and the Tomb of the Supreme Emperor, to break out of the darkness and march into the multiverse, or even to explore the
ultimate mystery of the depths of the flood, ‘Earth’, we will not encounter any obstacles and can bring out 100% of the potential of the human civilization. As long as we cough, billions of people will be willing to sacrifice everything for our will, right?”
That was exactly what Lu Qingchen thought.
But for some reason, hearing the mental devil’s words that were full of killing intent and malice, he suddenly felt that something was not right.
As he expected, derisive grunts were echoing deep inside the b.l.o.o.d.y mouth of the mental devil, as if a swamp was corroding the dead body. “However, the plan is indeed marvelous. But I still have a small question. Why is it ‘we’ and not ‘me? Why do I have to work with you to realize everything instead of
swallowing you and absorbing all the data left by you and the f.u.xi just like you did? Why do I have to finish everything by myself?
“After all, be it the supreme of the universe, the dominators of the universe, or the guardians of the civilization known as the f.u.xi, there is no need for two of them to exist, is there?
“Twill be the sole dominator of the human civilization and the universe. As for you… Give me a reason. What do I need you for?
The logic of the mental devil stunned Lu Qingchen for a long time.
It was true that he was trying to persuade Li Yao to change his bad habit of being merciful and soft-hearted so that he could be more decisive.
But the changes were too drastic and decisive. It was a 180-degree turn from one extreme to another!
Right now, Lu Qingchen did not have the unparalleled computational ability of the f.u.xis.
But even if there were, they would not be able to tell what kind of guy Li Yao was exactly!
“What’s wrong, Nephew Lu? You seem to be surprised, but isn’t the me in front of you exactly what you want to see? Cold, selfish, bloodthirsty, dark, and resolute.”
‘The mental devil licked its teeth and yawned. Then it said lazily, “Since you want a dark version of Li Yao, you must accept everything about this ‘Dark Li Yao’. There’s no reason why I would regard human lives as gra.s.s, treat the stars as dust, and ignore the apocalyptic flames that are burning hundreds of
planets, right?
“Therefore, I’m going to give you another chance. Thirty seconds. Give me an undeniable reason. Why can’t I swallow you directly? Why do I have to go through all the trouble to cooperate with you?

It was New Year’s Eve again. Time sure flies!
Counting the time, this was the third New Year’s Eve that Old Cow and “Cultivation IV” had spent with everyone. Naturally, it was also the third New Year’s Eve that everyone had spent with Old Cow.
For an entire three years, for over a thousand days and nights, there were at least two chapters per day. No matter rain or s.h.i.+ne, there was never a break. If it weren’t for everyone’s encouragement and support along the way, Old Cow would have never dared to dream of creating such a “miracle”. I also
hope that in the new year, everyone will be able to live a happy and prosperous life. Everything will be smooth sailing, and my studies, career, and love will reap great harvests. Old Cow will also be able to continue writing at this pace. I will be able to wrap things up perfectly and play the most powerful
note in.
Thank you, everyone. Thank you, brothers and sisters. There will be many opportunities for us to reunite in the future… At this moment, enjoy the feeling of spending the new year with your family!
