A Divine Land Teeming with Demons

Of course, for Rovi, the sensory experience brought by the progress of others is not as great as that of the Stone Monkey Girl Sun Wukong is right beside Rovi at this moment.

She is an extremely special being, and with Rovi's help during this period, she has quickly mastered the power manifested as part of the ' Spirit Stone Monkey '.

The seventy transformations of the Earthly Fiends are determined by one's own will.

Although they have only just set foot on the Divine Land.

But I have gradually learned it and can apply it in practice.

In the Great Qin and the Shandong and Qi-Lu region, the streets were bustling with people. After the unification of the world, the First Emperor's implementation of the standardization of writing, cart axles, and width of carts greatly promoted the flow of people in various places. In particular, the establishment of these rules greatly facilitated the travel of merchants and travelers.

As a result, merchants' enthusiasm for trade soared, and they brought all kinds of goods from different regions to various parts of China.

Rovi stood by the window of the inn, waiting for ' Sun Wukong ' to get up.

He traveled throughout the land with the girl who appeared as the stone monkey, seeing the local customs and people, and using his own eyes to imprint the traces of Human Order.

To understand Human Order.

Therefore, when traveling to a new place, one naturally needs to stay in an inn.

He gazed at the masses of people beneath his feet, slightly lost in thought. Seeing the Divine Land more prosperous than ever before, he felt a sense of wonder, but also a strange feeling inexplicably arose within him.

After First Emperor Six States the six kingdoms, in a very short time, although a new framework was established and promoted at the world-renowned speed of the Qin state, the new framework was established.

But this kind of development... is still too fast.

Rovi frowned, deep in thought, and decided to observe the journey further later...

"Hehehe, Master, what do you think of your disciple?"

The crisp, melodious sound behind him brought Rovi back to his senses, and he looked behind him.

The girl with long black hair wore a black robe, her delicate body barely covered, revealing her full and rounded figure and exquisite curves. Her red eyes were open beneath her long black hair, her face full of playfulness.

This is what ' Yu Ji ' looks like. At first glance, even Rovi couldn't tell the difference from her appearance or aura. The only difference was probably the difference in the strength she possessed.

But Yu Ji was currently in the Dong Hua Palace, devouring the ' Peach Tree of Immortality of Immortality' brought by Xu Fu, and striving to gain a position by Rovi's side. It was impossible for her to be here.

So Rovi went up and flicked her forehead, tapping ' Yu Ji ' on the head. "Stop being cheeky."

"Hmph, Master is really boring." Although she was crying from holding her hair, ' Yu Ji ' still seemed quite happy.

She shifted her body slightly, her black hair was gathered into short, orange-red hair, and her black robe was pulled back into a fitted red ancient robe, her youthful and beautiful body slightly revealed in the sunlight.

Sun Wukong said with a grin, "Master Heavenly Emperor, this woman seems to arouse you quite a bit, doesn't she? You were tempted just now, weren't you?"

"That's your teacher..." Rovi didn't deny it.

"I know, Shi Yi Zhi." Even though it was only the third day, Wukong acted as if he knew him all too well.

Looking at the smiling, playful Stone Monkey Girl in front of him, Rovi didn't hesitate and gave her another flick on the forehead.

Sun Wukong let out an uncontrollable cry of pain, rolling on the ground clutching his head. The girl's clear cries echoed in the inn's room, drawing the attention of those outside.

As a 'stone monkey,' Wukong's body should be as hard as iron, but under Rovi's slaps on the head, he would always suffer from uncontrollable headaches.

Of course, the pain comes and goes quickly.

Wukong quickly leaped up from the ground, his face full of excitement and anticipation. "Master, where are we going this time?"

"Just go with the flow, follow your heart, why do you need any purpose?" Rovi waved his hand, and the sword hanging behind him trembled slightly. "Just travel across the Divine Land."

Rovi turned his gaze to the west, to the heart of the Qin state, beyond the Great Wall.

Yu Ji and Ereshkigal are both in that direction.

By the time he traversed the former lands of the Six States of Shandong and arrived in Xianyang, they should have all largely completed their transformation.

When we meet again,

The scenery will inevitably be different as well.

Rovi pushed open the door and left with a flick of his sleeve. The Stone Monkey Girl looked at his back, tilted her head, and her face, with its red hair flowing down, revealed deep thought.

Should we leave it to fate?

"Then I guess I'm destined to be with my master..." Wukong revealed a rather contented smile.

Although she trusted Rovi before only because of his close relationship with the ' Goddess of Mount Li ', which allowed the Spirit Stone Monkey to trust him and follow Rovi to the Divine Land, it was also because Rovi could teach her what she wanted and let her find the freedom she desired.

But during this period of traveling all over the country, seeing different scenery and different people every day, Wukong felt particularly comfortable.

The master is the same as Sister of Mount Li.

They are all 'good people'.

Wukong quickly followed.

A tall, handsome man in a long robe carrying a sword was followed by a pretty young woman with red hair and red clothes. They walked out of the inn, and the combination immediately attracted the attention of many people.

But no one would think they were a couple, because along the way, Sun Wukong hopped and chattered incessantly, showing no signs of a loving couple.

Instead, they resemble toddlers going out with their elders for the first time.

"Master, what's so strange about humans that they can build such a huge city with such limited power? It's much bigger than the island I'm on now—"

"Speaking of which, do they also have a king? When I was on the island, the monkeys called me the Monkey King, but they didn't dare to come near me, saying that I was too beautiful compared to them."

"They even gave me a nickname: ' The Handsome Monkey King '..."

She kept rambling on and on, never stopping.

But Rovi has a habit.

So from beginning to end, he simply listened with a smile, showing neither impatience nor any particularly serious response.

After all, it's all stuff that can go in one ear and out the other, offering absolutely no information...

"Wait." He flicked his sleeve and stopped in his tracks.

Wukong lost his footing and crashed directly into Rovi, immediately silencing the petite girl's chattering.

She flashed a glimpse of her sharp teeth, then suddenly raised her head and looked ahead.

They are still in the city.

The rising sun shines down on a flowing river, its gentle flow reflecting the shimmering water and the arched bridge on its surface.

They stood on the bridge.

And wherever you look down, in the corners and alleys, countless people are gathered.

What are they doing?

Wukong was stunned for a moment. She opened her golden eyes and instantly displayed her "advantage of the terrain." The so-called "advantage of the terrain" means that one can instantly obtain the best "position" and a higher perspective. So her eyes pierced through the crowd and saw inside in an instant.

A vendor selling pears from street to street.

A sorcerer dressed in gray.

The merchant was furious, while the sorcerer laughed heartily. Others nearby kept urging them on.

Wukong asked, puzzled, "What are they doing?"

Rovi didn't answer; compared to Wukong, what he could see was far more meaningless.

He could see the whole scene unfold before him.

He learned the "comprehension of the world and its changes" from Wukong, which allowed him to trace the trajectory of events.

He saw the sorcerer begging the pear vendor for pears to quench his thirst, but the vendor refused.

He then saw the sorcerer shouting loudly, attracting the attention of the surrounding crowd, who all criticized the pear vendor for being stingy.

The vendor was furious but still refused to give it to him.

The crowd became even more critical.

The more the sorcerer laughed, the louder it became.

But Rovi just stood on the bridge and watched, neither moving away nor getting closer, and he did not answer Wukong's question. Wukong scratched his red hair, stared intently, and tried hard to see, but he still did not understand.

The sorcerer on the other side burst into laughter, saying, "Look, everyone supports me—"

"Exactly, it's just a pear, what's wrong with giving it to him?" a passerby pointed and commented.

"These are my pears, not yours. If you give one to him today, will you give it to someone else tomorrow?" the vendor said angrily.

Some people said, "Just give it to him. He's traveled a long way, what's wrong with giving it to him?"

"You're dressed so neatly, why don't you make your own clothes and buy them?" the vendor retorted.

People are still talking, still criticizing.

More and more people gathered, and the sounds grew louder and louder, eventually transforming into a vast and surging din.

The vendor looked around. He could refute one or two people, but how could he refute so many?

He gave in.

"Here you go, here you go!" The vendor threw the pears out of his hand.

The Daoist priest looked delighted and excited. The moment the pear slipped from his hand, the merchant felt a sense of emptiness, as if he had lost not just the pear, but something important in his heart.

Those around them were also momentarily stunned, as if something deep within them had been released from its restraint.

The sorcerer reached out and grabbed a pear.

His body trembled slightly, as if what was in front of him was not a pear, but a precious treasure.

However, he found that his outstretched hand had grasped nothing; the pear he had flung out was caught by a sleeve that suddenly appeared and tossed high into the air.

Her clothes hung loosely, and her long, dark hair flew in the wind.

The figures that appeared stood up.

Wukong on the bridge was stunned for a moment. She scratched her messy red short hair, turned her head, and found that there was no one around her. Rovi had instantly moved his body and appeared in the crowd, standing in front of everyone.

He shook the long sleeves that had just covered the pear, looked around at everyone, and said in a booming voice, "Greed."

Some people were stunned, their hearts skipped a beat, and their faces showed embarrassment.

"Arrogant."

Some people showed remorse on their faces.

"The desire for something for nothing, the arrogance that stands on the highest ground of morality." Rovi stammered, looking at the sorcerer, "The bustling world is indeed a good show."

The sorcerer's face turned fierce, and he asked, "Who are you?"

"I'd like to ask you, who are you?"

Rovi raised his hand and caught the 'pear' falling from the sky. He looked around at everyone and asked, "Do you know what you just lost?"

"What you have lost is not a pear, but the shackles of desire in the human heart."

"Human desires are a driving force, but if they have no bottom line, they will inevitably become a disaster."

"What do you think? A monster originating from the human heart—a demon that attaches itself to ' Human Order '."

The sorcerer's face had long since become quite ferocious.

He stared fiercely at Rovi in front of him, and at this moment, Rovi finally understood where the strange feeling he had felt about this land came from.

The sudden boom in commerce and the extraordinary prosperity of the Divine Land reveal not a thriving development, but rather a 'desire' to exploit resources to the point of exhaustion.

Merchants frantically transporting goods to various places, frantically seizing profits, people frantically collecting novel items... aren't they just like the group of people in front of us, with their greed and their arrogant, condescending attitude?

But this was not for themselves, but for the sorcerer in front of them—or rather, for the demon disguised as a sorcerer.

The so-called demons are 'fairies' and ' Inner Demon '.

Demons are conceived in nature.

The devil originates from the human heart.

This is a strange creature that only existed in the Mythic Age of the Divine Land; it is a kind of ' Phantasmal Species '.

However, now that the Divine Land and the land of gods have vanished, even if the Six Heavens Old Ghost return to the true gods and the Heavenly Court appears on the 'plate', many ancient mysteries that have retreated will reappear on the land based on 'thought'.

But that doesn't include these demons.

On the 'plate' that Rovi built, there was no place for them to live.

But they still appeared here.

And in that instant, the 'demon' in the hearts of all people Divine Land swelled.

"You are a demon of desire and pride. The pear you want is not a real pear, but the greed and pride of the human heart."

Rovi caught the pear falling from the sky and said, "If you get him, then this group of people will lose control of their desires."

"And you will reap the benefits from this, gaining the 'demon' in their hearts."

"Who exactly are you?" The sorcerer finally started to panic.

So eloquent and so clear and detailed.

The person before me... could it be an immortal?

"I know I was wrong, but you can't kill me. I am a demon of the human heart. If you kill me, you will be rejected by Human Order. I will return to the Sea of Stars and never come out again." The sorcerer hurriedly said.

What he said was the truth.

Demons are related to humans, and ordinary immortals are unwilling to completely destroy them; they usually only seal or expel them.

Therefore, although the alchemist was flustered, he did not appear to be in despair.

He believed he wouldn't die.

It will not completely disappear...

"Unfortunately, you guessed wrong." Rovi laughed, "I will not kill you, but I will make you a shackle in the hearts of the gods."

Rovi flicked his sleeve and planted the pear in the ground.

The demon was astonished.

The people around suddenly looked up and discovered that the pear, after falling to the ground, instantly sprouted roots, took root in the ground, and grew into a vast, ancient tree.

This tree connects the upper and lower parts, forming a bond in people's hearts.

These pears were made by Sūna, who disguised himself as a sorcerer or demon.

And so at this moment.

Its rapid growth and absorption also come from His power.

He wailed and screamed.

But it had no effect.

Rovi distrusts demons and these fairies who control human nature.

He has always believed that human nature should be a choice made by humanity itself.

"You and I are enemies."

"Human Order is not a threat to me."

Rovi climbed up the pear tree that had grown into a tree.

Clinging to the hearts of men, one sees the vast land of China, yet wisps of black smoke permeate it.

The vast land of China.

Vast and boundless land.

A myriad of flames suddenly rose up—those were countless demons, countless monsters and devils.

They are scattered across the vast earth.

Surrounding the place where the 'smoke of war' was thickest, strongest, and most intense, is also the place where they will reappear in the present world.

Outside Hangu Pass.

The former territory of the Qin state.

——Xianyang.

"Hahaha, I am the emperor whose virtue surpasses that of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors! This is the attitude I should have!"

The majestic Qin Palace, with its imposing steps leading upwards, echoes with shouts and cries.

The sound, as it rose and fell, was like the Dragon Breath.
