It's Over...

What are you looking at?

Xu Qingyi looked behind her, but there was nothing there.

But in Lu Cun's eyes, a demon was standing behind Xu Qingyi.

The demon grinned, revealing a massive, blood-red maw. It first pointed at Xu Qingyi, then at its own mouth.

Lu Cun gritted his teeth, "You shouldn't have come looking for me, Senior Sister Qingyi."

I am now powerless to control my own destiny, barely able to protect myself. Your appearance has once again stirred up the deal between that devil and me.

You shouldn't have come to see me.

Xu Qingyi frowned. "You're the only one who makes me feel clear-headed. Everyone in this world is being kept in the dark, and it was you who reminded me of that..."

The demon's voice came again.

'Say yes.'

Reject her.

'Say yes.'

Reject her.

Lu Cun clutched his head with both hands and shouted angrily, "I'm going crazy!"

"I really want to be a mortal who knows nothing, even if I'm parasitized by insects..."

Lu Cun's voice abruptly stopped.

Xu Qingyi suddenly stepped forward, "Insects? What insects?"

Ah...

Destroy it, I'm tired.

Lu Cun let his arms fall limply, but at that moment, the demon's voice came again.

'You're strange.'

"I've been thinking about what's influencing your thinking, making you risk your life to reject me time and time again."

'Then it suddenly occurred to me that it's not just me who can do this; there are others who can do it too?'

'I can't sense its presence, but it knows I'm here, right?'

Upon hearing this, before Lu Cun could say anything, rows of red subtitles flashed before his eyes.

Do not answer.

Do not answer.

Do not answer.

Lu Cun suddenly laughed, "You might as well just erase me, system."

"I've had enough."

Oh no...

'System?'

'079.'

'I see.'

So, Chen Ye is here too?

As soon as the demon finished speaking, a crack suddenly appeared in the space in front of them!

Click!

A jet-black claw extended from the crack, and then a powerful, suffocating aura instantly surged into Lu Cun's cave!

The devil has arrived.

The level of a Sixth Tier Fifth Realm Peak Great Sanctuary, in the terms of this world...

That's the Great Principle Golden Immortal, the Quasi-Saint realm!

The demon's figure descended, leaving Xu Qingyi and Lu Cun dumbfounded.

"Our deal is over, kid."

Upon seeing this, 079 didn't hesitate and immediately activated his ability from the Future Chapter to begin his escape!

However, the demon's hand suddenly pierced through dimensions, reaching the higher-dimensional space where 079 was, and grabbed 079's body!

"As expected, the Future Chapter belongs to you."

"My theory holds true."

In a flash of thought, 079 activated Absolute Sever, severing the demon's arm and instantly disappearing from the world.

However, the demon laughed, "079, you are a special individual. The marks on you will not be erased by time."

"Then, conversely, what I left on you will also be preserved as you rewind time."

"The mark has been made. No matter which point in time you escape to, I will be able to sense your presence."

However, 079 was destined never to hear these words from the demon, because the moment he broke free from the demon's restraints, he activated his future abilities and escaped.

Knowing that things were going badly, 079 wanted to mend the past, so he returned to the point when Lu Cun met the demon.

However, when he tried to get Lu Cun to refuse the demon, the demon crushed Lu Cun to death.

Then no matter how he tries to rewind time, history seems to be predetermined.

Even if he didn't choose Lu Cun, but chose another host, the demon would still be able to find him.

This appears to be a historical correction, or perhaps an inevitability of time.

When 079 realized that he couldn't change the future with only half of the Future Chapter, he hesitated.

Is it really inevitable that we can't escape this fate?

Then we have no choice but to take a gamble...

Episode 079 returns to the point in time when Lu Cun and Xu Qingyi meet again, which is ten minutes before the demon descends.

Tell her the truth

Tell her the truth.

What?

Lu Cun was stunned for a moment, because the two voices that had been arguing in his mind had actually reached a consensus at this moment.

How is that possible?

Am I really not dreaming?

"If you really want to know the truth, please be prepared first."

"Because once people know the truth, they can no longer live in lies."

Because they were of one mind, Lu Cun revealed all the secrets he had kept buried deep in his heart, including the truth about the Golden Elixir.

Xu Qingyi only said one sentence after hearing these words.

"Let's go to Sword Abyss."

[Promise her]

'Promise her'

The two voices gave the same answer almost simultaneously.

"Then what?"

Xu Qingyi: "Then tell the truth to everyone, and combine everyone's strength to expose the lie of becoming an immortal."

That's impossible.

Lu Cun knew that this was impossible, not to mention whether they could defeat those monsters even if they combined everyone's strength.

How many of those people will accept this truth?

Even if the facts are right in front of them, once their dream of becoming immortal is shattered, they will most likely give up and even deliberately numb and hypnotize themselves.

Even if the truth were right in front of them, they wouldn't believe it.

But with the help of the devil, it's not entirely impossible.

It's rare that the system and the demon have reached an agreement; this might be the only chance.

"Go do it."

One of the six peaks of the Xuan Dao Sect.

At the summit of Sword Peak, where the original True Person Hongyun once resided, Shen Xiuyai was holding a sword and seemingly testing something.

"Stop trying. Do you really think your hands can still unleash sword techniques?"

Shen Xiuyai did not stop what he was doing when he heard this. "Instead of talking about me, why don't you talk about yourself? It's been ten years. How long are you going to keep up this act of deep father-daughter affection?"

A blue-haired man sat on a huge rock behind them.

Meng Xuan smiled faintly, "Perhaps it will happen soon, but to be honest, I don't want things to develop so quickly."

"After all, the master also finds this quite interesting, don't you think?"

Shen Xiuyai continued to brandish his sword, "We killed her father and destroyed her sect, and you adopted her and made her dream about that day every day."

"Having someone around who's ready to kill you at any moment, I don't understand what's so interesting about that?"

Meng Xuan smiled and shook his head. "Life and death, separation and reunion, love and hate, people's happiness is often inseparable from what they care about."

"Some people care about money, making money, saving money, and having more money than they can spend, which makes them feel happy."

"But you know, we don't need those things, and naturally we can't derive pleasure from them."

"In fact, there are very few things that we care about, and even fewer things that bring us pleasure; boredom is inevitable."

"So, to be a monster, you need to have eyes that are good at finding pleasure."
