Black Sky Heart Venerable, Great Darkness, Lord of the Future, stood at the head of the thirty-six Heart Venerables of the Heavenly Demon Hall. He corresponded to the Devil Master's darkness.
Guang Tian Heart Venerable, Great Brightness, Lord of the Past, ranked second among the thirty-six Heart Venerables of the Heavenly Demon Hall. He corresponded to the Devil Master's light.
The two Heart Venerables left the other Outer-Realm Sky Demons far behind. There was no possibility of comparing them on equal terms. All along, they had been the Devil Master's right- and left-hand men.
Great Darkness in particular was Lord of the Future. If the Devil Master fell, he would take over everything in the Demon Realm and become the new Devil Master.
As for Great Brightness, there was nothing here for him. It was true that he could fight, but his bad luck lay in being Lord of the Past. The present and future of the Demon Realm had nothing to do with him.
Wasn't that bullying an honest devil?
The Demon Realm and Immortality Cultivation World were in the middle of a great war, beating each other bloody. Great Brightness decided to go all the way and switched sides to follow the Great Heavenly Venerate. He had only become a Buddha a few days earlier and had yet to enjoy the good life when the Great Heavenly Venerate tricked him into becoming the Past Buddha. He still had no present or future.
Wasn't that bullying an honest Buddha?
The lives of devils and Buddhas were filled with frustration. How miserable could it get?
Lu Bei knew nothing of these secrets of the Demon Realm. Gu Zongchen did not know much either. He had come to the Great Good Temple under Guang Tian Heart Venerable's guidance.
