"I see..."

Han Xuanji pondered silently.

This Chaos Devil God abandoned its physical body and merged its original divine soul into Su Ming's body, so it was no different from a reincarnation.

Su Ming has not fully awakened yet because the power of the Chaos Devil God is too strong, which has caused some side effects. Only by increasing the strength of his physical body can he bear this power.

If fully awakened, Su Ming would essentially become the juvenile form of Chaos Devil God, whose foundation would surpass that of countless other beings.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Han Xuanji immersed himself in the simulation.

[With guidance from your senior brother, you devoted yourself to seclusion. Your physique and Cultivation Method resonated subtly, causing your cultivation speed to surge. Your physical body underwent a transformation, triggering extraordinary phenomena. You successfully broke through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal. You discovered that your physical body was far stronger than Lin Potian's, a body cultivator. Even Xiao Hong was astonished by your talent. You were somewhat worried about your changes, but your senior brother told you not to worry and to continue your cultivation.]

[You quickly mastered the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art Profound Technique, becoming virtually invincible among those of the same realm. The outside world hailed you as a peerless expert from the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace. At the sect's request, you established a new lineage and became its head. However, you still frequently visit the Myriad Phenomena Garden to receive guidance from your senior brothers.]

"Oh?"

Han Xuanji was initially somewhat surprised, but upon further reflection, she realized there was nothing wrong with it.

Su Ming still has some affection for the sect, and as long as the sect's demands are not excessive, he is willing to do his part.

[A century later, one day while traveling, you unexpectedly absorb a large amount of accumulated Sha Qi and battlefield killing power in the ruins of an High Antiquity battlefield. This causes an unknown mutation, causing your physical strength to surge once again, but your temperament is also affected, making you more ruthless and decisive.]

[You gradually notice changes in your body, and strange voices constantly echo from the depths of your soul, tormenting your mind. At this time, someone comes to your door, claiming to be the Nether Lord. He tells you about your origins, saying that everything you have is a gift from him, and considers himself your father. You are greatly shocked and uneasy, because you don't know what this Nether Lord's intentions are. He doesn't harm you, letting you ponder for yourself, and then teaches you a powerful Cultivation Method and bestows upon you a priceless treasure.]

" The Nether Lord?"

Han Xuanji had never heard of this name before, and he couldn't possibly deduce the other party's identity out of thin air, so he could only wait and see.

[That year, Lu Fan returned to the Myriad Phenomena Garden and asked you for help. After thinking about it, you agreed and went to the Myriad Phenomena Divine Dynasty.]

[During your conquests, you unintentionally refined a large amount of Sha Qi once again. Your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds through this almost predatory training. Ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortal are no match for you, and your strength is even comparable to that of a Daluo Golden Immortal. Many prodigies have challenged you, but none have been able to withstand a single blow. You are known as the number one prodigy after Yun Wuji.]

[However, the price of this surge in power is becoming increasingly apparent. The whisper deep within you grows clearer; it yearns for slaughter and destruction. After each battle, gazing upon the devastation and vanished life, a sliver of unease settles in your heart, but more than anything, you experience a morbid pleasure of destruction and a profound sense of satisfaction from the overwhelming power. Your gaze can become cold and cruel without you even realizing it, making those who know you feel a sense of estrangement and unease.]

That day, after finishing his business with the Divine Dynasty, Lu Fan approached you with a worried expression. "Senior Brother Su, the aura around you... seems a bit off. Have you encountered some difficulties in your cultivation?"

You forcibly suppressed the surging violence within you and forced a smile to reassure him, "It's alright, it's just a slight symptom of a breakthrough in your Cultivation Method. You'll get used to it soon."

After Lu Fan left, you pondered repeatedly and concluded that it was the influence of the Cultivation Method and treasure left behind by the Nether Lord that led you to decide to no longer touch that power.

[You try to suppress this desire, but find it more difficult than ever before. The Devil Seed seems to have taken deep root in your foundation, inextricably linked to your cultivation. Forcibly suppressing it will not only stagnate your cultivation but also risk backlash.]

[On this day, Lu Fan asked you to return to Myriad Phenomena Garden, and you agreed.]

[Upon returning to the Myriad Phenomena Garden and seeing that still detached figure, your tense mind finally relaxed somewhat. It was as if, with your senior brother present, any storm could be calmed.]

[That night, you found your senior brother and told him everything. He listened quietly, showing little surprise. Under his guidance, you gradually learned to master this power.]

[A thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. Under your senior brother's guidance, you gradually mastered this power, even if only a small amount. Your cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and you successfully entered the realm of the Daluo Golden Immortal.]

[On this day, the Immortal Realm Spirit Void Immortal Domain was thrown into turmoil. Devil Race activities became increasingly frequent, conflicts escalated, and the borders of the Lingxu Immortal Domain were in grave danger. Multiple regions were attacked by elite Devil Race, resulting in heavy casualties. The nine border cities teetered on the brink of collapse. As the pillar of the Spirit Void Immortal Domain, the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace naturally could not stand idly by. The summons was issued to all peaks, and you, as the head of the newly established lineage, had no choice but to take on the responsibility.]

[You led your disciples to the border to provide aid, witnessing firsthand the devastation caused by the Devil Race ' rampage. A thick aura of slaughter permeated the void, and that long-dormant whisper resonated once more deep within your soul, but it did not affect you.]

[ Lu Fan has already attained the position of Human Emperor. With his help, you commanded with composure, relying on your formidable strength and ruthless methods to repel the Devil Race offensive and stabilize the defenses. Your reputation soared, and you became the object of worship for countless people.]

[On this day, the Devil Race dispatched five Grand Daluo to lay an ambush. You fought against all five alone, no longer suppressing your true power, and ruthlessly killed three of the Daluo Immortals, shocking the Immortal Realm.]

"That's amazing?"

Han Xuanji nodded secretly.

As expected of Chaos Devil God, he is virtually invincible among those of the same realm.

Moreover, unlike the previous simulation of Lu Fan, the Devil Race Clan placed even greater emphasis on the Spirit Void Immortal Domain, directly deploying five Daluo experts to besiege Su Ming.

Could it be his influence?

Han Xuanji continued reading and realized that things weren't so simple.

Although you won this battle, you have fallen into a deeper predicament. The powerful force makes you clearly feel your own insignificance, and the consciousness called " Su Ming " was almost devoured by the primal will of the Chaos Devil God.

After the war, you stood alone amidst mountains of corpses and seas of blood, looking at your own hands. A chill rose from the depths of your heart. You realized that you were far from being able to master that power. You met the Nether Lord again; he extended an invitation to you, but you didn't give him a warm welcome and refused once more.

[You returned to the Spirit Void Heavenly Palace and went to the Myriad Phenomena Garden again to seek help from your senior brother. With his assistance, you successfully suppressed the power, but this was only a temporary fix. Your senior brother told you that it was your own power, and he was powerless to change it; it was up to your own will.]

[Upon hearing this, you roused yourself and told your senior brother that you would never completely succumb to depravity, but would instead maintain your will.]

Upon seeing this, Han Xuanji seemed to be deep in thought.

To be precise, this power of the Chaos Devil God originally belonged to Su Ming himself, but because his body was too weak to withstand it, he hid it away on his own.

As his cultivation level increased, this suppressing force began to be released.

Even Han Xuanji couldn't do anything about it; forcibly separating this power would actually cause significant side effects on Su Ming.

"If the primordial consciousness of the Chaos Devil God gains the upper hand, Su Ming will still be Su Ming, but his temperament will likely change drastically..."

Han Xuanji seemed to be deep in thought.
