Is this my future?

In the world of Gods and Devils and demons, the Demon King was watching everything happening in the video with a thoughtful expression, but his expression remained unchanged, appearing somewhat indifferent.

"I am still too weak," the Demon King muttered to himself, seemingly sighing.

Despite his seemingly carefree nature, the Demon Lord is actually quite strict with himself, especially when it comes to matters concerning the entire realm of Gods and Devils, and immortals; he has no intention of letting anything slip by.

Therefore, the Demon King was willing to risk offending other cultivators to seal them along with the Heavenly Dao consciousness in the Third World.

The Demon Lord is like this; even when he sees himself in the video ruthlessly killing his own loved ones, even when he sees himself resolutely facing death in the video, his expression doesn't change in the slightest.

He doesn't regret it, just sighs.

My strength is still not enough!

If he possessed immense power, like the Primordial Emperor, how could he have fallen to such a state?

Perhaps before witnessing the power of the Primordial Emperor, the Demon King was quite satisfied with his solution, but after encountering a stronger being, he would never be satisfied with himself again.

But the Heavenly Dao consciousness, still sealed, seemed to see hope and spoke to the Demon King in a voice that sounded like a demon's whisper.

"Demon King, do you see this? This is the consequence of defying the will of Heavenly Dao!"

"If you turn back now, there's still hope. But if you continue to be stubborn and refuse to see the light, you'll only end up like the character in the video!"

The Demon King remained unmoved upon hearing this, but sneered and said, "Shut up. Now that you've been captured by me, the Wind Shadow, what are you anyway?"

"It's laughable. In the video, I was willing to suffer damage myself to severely injure you in this way, and yet you dare to come to me begging for mercy at this time."

"No need to rush. I will find a way to send you on your way as soon as possible. No one knows what will happen then."

"You... Lord of the Demon King, you will regret this!" The Heavenly Dao consciousness was furious, but it was sealed tightly and had no way to deal with the Lord of the Demon King.

"This person has a good character, it's just a pity that his strength is lacking."

"However, with his temperament, if he cultivates himself properly, he might not be inferior to you or me in time."

Within the forbidden land of life, a supreme expert slowly spoke, his words clearly indicating his acknowledgment of the Demon King's actions.

The Demon Lord's actions might seem ruthless and cruel to outsiders, but to the cultivators in the Forbidden Land of Life, they were nothing special.

After all, most of the cultivators gathered in the forbidden land of life are those who will stop at nothing to pursue the path to immortality. If they could gain immortality by sacrificing their relatives, they would surely do so without hesitation.

This ruthless nature, of course, is not just directed at themselves.

When they see themselves as vessels of immortality, they will no longer regard others as anything special.

"However, the system of the world of Gods and Devils seems a bit strange; it appears that there is no constraint on lifespan at all."

"Indeed, I also noticed that world is somewhat similar to the world brought by the little moth that was on the list before. Although one still dies, it seems that one can be reborn through reincarnation."

"If this cycle of reincarnation has no conditions or costs, wouldn't that be the immortality we all seek?"

"This forbidden land of life," an aged voice slowly drifted out. It was the voice of the Longevity Emperor, his tone carrying an undisguised envy.

"Perhaps that's why the Heavenly Dao consciousness of that world developed an evil nature, wanting to destroy the entire world." The Stone Emperor spoke slowly, his gaze calm and unwavering.

After watching several videos on the Daqianwandao video website, they had already discovered that although the rules of various fantasy worlds are not entirely the same, some of the most basic settings have similarities.

Take immortality, which they all care about most, for example. Even if some worlds can be reborn in an infinite cycle of reincarnation due to special rules, such rebirth is limited in number and has various side effects.

In the world where the little moth lives, after being reborn too many times, it will completely lose its previous memories.

This is the fundamental reason why the reborn cultivator only realized, after receiving the rewards for being on the list, that his previous life was actually that of a little moth.

"Hehe, that's true. But if you want to achieve immortality, you really have to find a way in other worlds; just staying in the forbidden zone isn't going to work."

"I've seen several interesting worlds on the Daqianwandao video website, and I really want to go and check them out..."

The cultivators in the forbidden area could no longer contain themselves. If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the powerful figures stationed outside the forbidden area, they would probably have already rushed out by now.

"I wonder who will be the next person on the list, don't you think, Stone Emperor?" The Qilin Emperor slowly spoke, asking the Stone Emperor with a meaningful tone.

Long ago, the Stone Emperor confidently declared that he would definitely be on the list, but now that the review video has reached the eighth cultivator, the Stone Emperor is still not on it.

Countless cultivators were waiting to see the Stone Emperor make a fool of himself, but the Qilin Emperor was clearly the one who showed it the most.

How could the Stone Emperor not understand the meaning the Qilin Emperor was trying to convey? His face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He spoke with such certainty before, but now he's failed to make the list again and again. Even the Stone Emperor couldn't bear it anymore. But words spoken are like water spilled; there's no going back.

"Hmph, how would I know? If you want to know, just ask the creator of the compilation video, wouldn't you?" The Stone Emperor spoke coldly.

"Hehe, it was just a casual remark, why are you getting angry?" the Qilin Emperor continued with a smile.

The Stone Emperor refused to acknowledge him any longer and completely ignored his words.

The Qilin Emperor essentially encountered a cold shoulder, but he didn't seem to mind.

In fact, after watching the review videos for so long, not a single strong individual from the Forbidden Zone of Life made it onto the list, which is truly embarrassing for them.

According to reliable sources, making it onto the list comes with unknown benefits.

Although the possibility is extremely slim, some powerful individuals still harbor a sliver of hope: could this so-called benefit be some kind of promising path to immortality?
