The first fish to come ashore

Yunmeng Marsh, near the pool at the foot of Flying Peak.

"Huh? Someone actually figured out the Heart Demon so quickly?"

Looking at the discussions on the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra" with a surprised expression, Li Boyang made no attempt to hide his astonishment.

Following closely behind Li Boyang, Chiru, dressed in magnificent robes, simply smiled and calmly expressed his opinion.

"This is what you meant when you said, Arbiter of Fate: no matter how profound an individual's wisdom may be, it cannot surpass the wisdom of the group."

"Like those great shamans of the Great Xia, what good is their profound wisdom, even if it encompasses the heavens and the earth?"

"After all, only a very small number of people can ultimately become Great Shamans."

"Without considering the popularization of education and the enlightenment of the people, the knowledge and power of a small group of great shamans are simply insufficient to usher in a new era."

Listening to Chiru's eloquent speech, Wangshu's usually stern face showed a rare hint of resentment.

If it weren't for the Chiru vying for his favor, he should be the one in charge of this "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra".

"I don't think this is because someone has thoroughly figured out the Heart Demon..."

"Judging from his words and perspective, I'm more inclined to suspect that he's suffering from his own Heart Demon."

As she slowly passed the Chiru, Wangshu offered a different perspective.

So what if he's Heart Demon?

Clearly sensing the hostility from Wangshu, Chiru smiled rather elegantly.

"The Arbiter of Fate has the world in his heart and spreads the teachings to all living beings; the Heart Demon are naturally one of them."

"If one can truly reform their Heart Demon and control their desires, then they will no longer be Heart Demon."

The open and covert struggle between Wangshu and Chiru.

Li Boyang simply rubbed his temples, looking slightly troubled, and pretended not to see it.

Heaven knows why Wangshu harbored such hostility towards the Chiru.

And then there's Chiru, who, knowing full well that Wangshu was still immature, still enjoyed teasing her again and again.

"Chiru is right, whether he has Heart Demon or not is actually not important."

"Among these individuals currently communicating through the Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra, are there no other Heart Demon among them?"

Li Boyang's words caused both of the men present to show expressions of astonishment.

Those who know Li Boyang know that he is never the kind of person who speaks without reason.

In other words, since Li Boyang has said so...

That means that among the individuals currently possessing the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra," there must be some who have already been possessed by Heart Demon.

However, those Heart Demon were extremely adept at disguise, and no one noticed their abnormality at all.

"Are we just going to leave them like this?"

Tilting her head in confusion, Wangshu asked somewhat blankly.

Why should we care?

Turning his head to glance at Wangshu Shu, Li Boyang asked in a half-smile.

"For example, you are now Moon Demon, but have you ever thought about corrupting all living beings with your demonic power?"

Wangshu shook her head decisively. Of course, she wouldn't demonize the masses; she was more than just the Moon Demon.

"Then that makes sense, doesn't it?"

"Just like the first fish to leave the ocean, it gradually adapted to the terrestrial environment and evolved into an amphibian."

"Once those demon kings left the Great Sovereign Heaven and began to explore the meaning and value of their own existence, they could no longer be considered pure Heart Demon."

"Those Heart Demon are the embodiment of desire, but they are more than just desire."

"Especially when they shed the influence of instinct and begin to learn to think, they will naturally integrate into this era."

Yunmeng Marsh, Hundred Lands University, Spirit Gathering Island.

"Another one of their kind has arrived?"

Looking at the fleeting words on the "Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra," a petite male Butterfly People sneered.

As a possessing Heart Demon, this was the first time the male Butterfly People had ever seen such a foolish fellow human who couldn't even disguise himself.

As for whether the other party is perhaps not Heart Demon?

The male Butterfly People never even considered this possibility.

Such a deep understanding of Heart Demon can only be explained by being one of their own.

"It seems that this demon king had already left the Great Sovereign Heaven before the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon was born."

The male Butterfly People fled the Great Sovereign Heaven Demon King in a panic when Li Boyang transformed into the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon, fearing that he would be affected by it.

However, after the Primordial Beginning Heavenly Demon redefined the rules of the Great Sovereign Heaven.

These escaped demon kings could never return to the Great Sovereign Heaven.

At the very least, before Boshun Heavenly Demon's resurgence, these demon kings will find it difficult to re-establish contact with Great Sovereign Heaven.

It is precisely for this reason that male Butterfly People stay on this Spirit Gathering Island, obediently learning the Way of the Celestial Person taught by that Dao Ancestor.

To be honest, male Butterfly People don't care about anything else right now.

His only worry was whether the Dao Ancestor had seen through his identity.

But upon further reflection, the male Butterfly People put aside his worries.

After all, he was different from ordinary Heart Demon. He was not one of the first demon kings created by Demon King Boxun, but one of the vanished gods of the North Sea.

Since Boshun Heavenly Demon, fell into seclusion, the Great Sovereign Heaven Freedom has become the exclusive domain of the demon kings.

Perhaps it's the operating rule of the Great Sovereign Heaven...

Or perhaps it's just the wild imagination of some demon lords...

A more likely explanation is some kind of power struggle among those Dao Proving One...

In short, regardless of their original intentions, a group of unfortunate gods were captured by the power of Boshun Heavenly Demon and became one of the many demon kings in the Great Sovereign Heaven.

Compared to traditional demon kings, these gods who were forcibly transformed into demons inherited the memories and power of their original forms.

Even in the Great Sovereign Heaven, these gods who have transformed into demons can still sense their followers and clans in the real world.

The male Butterfly People are able to achieve such perfect camouflage thanks to this.

Of course, simply disguising oneself as Butterfly People is not enough.

The reason why the male Butterfly People were able to enter the Spirit Gathering Island for cultivation ahead of time is because of the outstanding talent they have shown since childhood.

He understood better than those demon kings that no matter how well one disguises themselves, there will always be flaws.

Therefore, it's better to pretend to be a completely unfamiliar entity.

It would have been better to be born as Butterfly People from the beginning and show exceptional talent from a young age.

In this way, he would have a complete growth experience, and there would be no need for anyone to doubt that he was the demon king of the Great Sovereign Heaven.

The facts have proven that the male Butterfly People was indeed very prescient.

Using this pre-cultivated body, he escaped the Great Sovereign Heaven almost unscathed and then perfectly integrated into the present-day Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"Zixiu?"

"You're reading the Demon-Subduing Heart Sutra again?"

Just as the male Butterfly People... or rather, Zixiu, was pondering, an excited voice reached his ears.

When he looked up, he saw Yun Xiu flapping its wings and flying towards him.

If Zixiu was allowed to come to Spirit Gathering Island to cultivate because of his extraordinary talent...

So, because Yun Xiu was born with a deficiency, Jialuo asked Jinjiao for a favor, hoping to make up for her congenital defect here.

"Hmm, have you finished your homework for today?"
