At the same time, Death Demon Cavern bottom layer.
In the deep and secluded valley, the storm completely ended, and deathly silence enveloped the earth again.
Shiheng is completely unaware of this.
He never imagined that his attempt to save the Human Race brothers and sisters by casually killing a Highgod would be accurately captured by the supreme chief engineer of Demonic Grotto.
What's more, I didn't expect that I had been firmly targeted by this powerful man who had survived for countless years, and was quietly included in his ultimate plan to escape from Demonic Grotto, which had been dormant for thousands of years.
His expression was indifferent, and his sleeves and robes were flicked, sweeping away the remaining power of the rules around him.
Then he turned around and looked at the brother and sister Ryder and Linor who were looking listless and in extremely poor condition.
After experiencing this vicious plan, the path of lifelong hard work of the two brothers and sisters was abolished, Divine Foundation collapsed, and their cultivation was completely shattered.
Now only Saint Domain True Body remains, with no fighting power left, exhausted mentally and physically, and his condition has dropped to rock bottom.
Shiheng said nothing, turned around silently, and took the two of them into the sky, crossing the desolate Demonic Grotto land.
Not long after, the three of them arrived at a secret cave hidden deep in the crevices of the cliffs.
This is the place where Shiheng has been dormant for Demonic Grotto for ten years, polished, transformed and sealed with his own hands.
There are multiple hidden restrictions outside the cave, perfectly blocking the erosion of external evil spirits and the exploration of outsiders.
The cave is quiet and peaceful, without the dangers that can be seen everywhere Demonic Grotto. It is a rare pure land in this dark cage.
Step into the cave and completely isolate yourself from the noise and murderous intentions of the outside world.
Shiheng stopped and turned around, looking calmly at the haggard Human Race brother and sister in front of them, clearly laying out two cruel and real roads in front of them.
"You are now Divine Foundation broken, your path is incomplete, and your lifelong practice is ruined."
"Now before you, there are only two paths to choose from."
Shiheng spoke calmly, unhurriedly, and explained the pros and cons of the two paths without any concealment.
"The first one, Refine Divine Spark, uses external force to directly cross the shackles and board Highgod Realm."
"The advantages of this path are extremely obvious, extremely safe, and extremely fast. There is no need to go through long and hard training, and there is no need to face the endless dangers of Demonic Grotto. You can steadily step into the God-level realm and completely break away from the Saint ant level."
"But the drawbacks are equally fatal."
"Relying on the foreign Divine Core to become a god, your Dao Foundation will be completely solidified, its origin will be finalized, and you can only become the weakest Highgod throughout your life. In the next billions of years, there will be no possibility of improvement in your cultivation, your path will be completely capped, and there will never be a day of great success."
After talking about the first road, Shiheng changed the subject and talked about the second, more difficult road.
"Second, give up Refine Divine Spark, use your remaining Saint Domain True Body as the foundation, completely overthrow the past path, start from scratch, re-understand other Laws, rebuild Divine Foundation, and rebuild the divine path."
"This road has a smooth road ahead and an unlimited future."
Shiheng's eyes held a trace of recognition and expectation.
"You two, brother and sister, are in desperate situations but always stick to your heart. Your character is far beyond ordinary people's tenacity, and your spiritual talents are unparalleled at the same level. As long as you are given enough stable time to concentrate on cultivation, your future achievements will be absolutely limitless."
After the words fell, Shiheng's eyes suddenly became solemn, and his tone became a little heavier.
"But this road is extremely dangerous with a narrow escape from death."
"Within Demonic Grotto, Lowgod God-level strong men are everywhere, and Midgod is everywhere, not to mention Highgod. Saint, who are as humble as ants and dust in this world."
"Any God Domain outburst from a prisoner, a God-level friction from a strong person, or even an out-of-control death energy riot are enough to kill you."
"Even I can't guard you all the time, and I can't guarantee your absolute safety 100%."
Inside the cave, the atmosphere instantly became depressing and heavy.
Shiheng looked at the brother and sister in front of him, and scenes from his past life flashed in his mind involuntarily.
Among Gorba Prison, Emperor Star is alone, guarding the five weak Saint children.
He exerted all his strength, endured endless dangers, defended the road with blood, suffered many hardships, and was covered with scars.
But even so, the cage in troubled times is ruthless after all, and two Saint children unfortunately died in the end.
The torment and pain of trying your best but still being unable to save yourself is suffocating.
He knows too well that in desperate and troubled times, the survival of the weak has always been a gamble with their lives.
But deep down in his heart, Shiheng really hopes that the two of them will choose to rebuild other Laws and become gods.
The unyielding and unstained spirituality and resilience of Ryder and Linor are very similar to the rising protagonist Lin Feng in the original work.
Back then, Yulan Continent was the supreme being Beirut. What initially set his sights on Lin Feng was his unique and pure original spirituality.
Only those who have the original intention, perseverance, and spiritual talent can overcome all difficulties and finally reach the top.
But he can't be selfish, and he can't bet on two fresh lives and an uncertain future based on his own expectations.
The right to make a decision must ultimately be left in their own hands.
"Just think about it and make your own decision."
Shiheng's eyes were gentle but firm, and he solemnly made a promise.
"No matter which path you choose in the end, I will do my best to protect you to the end."
Ryder and Linor looked at each other. When their eyes met, all the struggle, unwillingness and hesitation in their eyes faded away.
Only clear understanding and deep guilt remain.
Having been together for decades, they witnessed Shiheng dormant and Demonic Grotto struggling every step of the way.
I witnessed with my own eyes that in order to protect the Human Race compatriots who were living in Demonic Grotto, he repeatedly took risks, faced powerful enemies, and endured countless life and death crises.
They know better than anyone else the cruelty of Death Demon Cavern, and they know better than anyone else the drag of their own weakness.
Rebuilding Great Way will take a long time to stay at the Saint stage.
But the demonic energy of the Demon Cave corrodes the bones, and ordinary monks in the holy realm will have their souls withered, their origins rotten, and they will fall completely within ten years.
In addition, there are hard labor tasks that must be completed every day, and intrigues can be seen everywhere. Although God-level cannot do anything, God Domain who is strong can break out at will.
Staying in Saint for rebuilding will only become Shiheng's biggest weakness and biggest drag.
They would never be willing to do so, and they would never allow this strong man who had fought for Human Race to prevent disasters from getting into danger again because of the two of them.
Ryder took a step forward, bowed deeply and saluted, his tone was calm and determined.
"Master Shiheng, we choose Refine Divine Spark to become a god."
Linor followed closely, nodding lightly, his brows and eyes full of sincerity and guilt.
"Over the years, we have dragged you down too much. The road to reconstruction is too dangerous and long. We don't want to be your weakness anymore. We just want to be stable and become gods, and not cause you any more trouble."
Shiheng looked at the two people who were sensible, patient and caring about the overall situation, and sighed quietly in his heart.
After a long moment, he nodded slowly and softened his tone.
"That's fine."
"I will give you three days to think quietly and make a complete decision."
As soon as his words changed, his tone revealed absolute confidence and protection.
"As for Demonic Grotto's compulsory hard labor mission, you don't need to have anything to worry about."
"I have been dormant for Demonic Grotto for decades and have accumulated Other Shore Flower of sealed tasks. The quantity is extremely large, enough for the three of us to live safely for thousands of years without having to participate in any hard labor."
"From now on, you can just stay in my cave and concentrate on your cultivation."
"I am here to protect you and shield you from the evil spirit. Tens of millions of years of evil energy erosion will not be able to harm you even half of your Divine Soul origin."
His eyes were firm and he solemnly made his promise word by word.
"I will protect you from now on."
