The death of the Deception Rabbit

Born from candlelight, and then perished in candlelight.

The fire serpent's lifespan is only a few minutes, but the Deception Rabbit clearly sensed that it was a truly sentient being. After it perished in the candlelight, new life was born from the embers.

This time, dozens of fire serpents emerged from the embers.

They were seen tearing at each other and devouring one another, revealing the ferocious and tyrannical nature of the fire serpents.

However, it was precisely in this brutal competition that the strongest fire serpent emerged victorious, becoming the sole individual to possess the candlelight. The Principle of "survival of the fittest" was vividly demonstrated in the fire serpents.

"Life is as fleeting as a candle flame..."

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have found it hard to believe that you created this life."

Watching the newly born fire serpent flap its wings, Deception Rabbit became unusually serious.

"See, this is another one of your stereotypes, isn't it?"

Li Boyang shrugged slightly and chuckled calmly.

"I have never said that I am a compassionate and benevolent saint; that is just how outsiders perceive me."

"Besides, this fire serpent isn't limited to existing only within this candle flame."

In the midst of their conversation, the most powerful fire serpent also reached the end of its life, and a new cycle of life began once more. Only this time, Li Boyang's fingertip brushed against the candle flame.

The newly conceived fire serpents, before they could even begin to fight, were sent to other nearby candle flames.

"Uh, is this the correct way for these fire serpents to reproduce?"

She was clearly stunned for a moment, and the seriousness on Deception Rabbit's face vanished instantly.

"But this kind of species, which requires human intervention to reproduce, seems to have no value in existing?"

Deception Rabbit never believed that Li Boyang would do such meaningless things.

They also did not believe that the other party would create a new life form like fire serpents for no reason.

"In its natural environment, such a creature would have no value whatsoever."

"But it's different for you. Your students, while practicing the art of transformation, also have to learn to find the 'meaning of life.' For example, taking care of these Red Serpent, and understanding the preciousness of life from them."

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Deception Rabbit instinctively asked.

"Did you calculate something again?"

This time, Li Boyang did not deny it, but rather sighed frankly.

"Have you ever considered that the courses you teach are actually the easiest ways to make people disregard life?"

"We might not see it now, but what about the future?"

"How likely is it that a group of individuals who can skillfully dissect various creatures and can also change themselves at will will not go Evil Dao?" Upon hearing this, E'tu immediately Deception Rabbit.

He knew that Li Boyang's sudden appearance here must have been for a reason.

"Hmm, of the students I'll teach in the future, how many will actually master the ' Thousand Transformations Divine Ability?"

To Li Boyang's surprise, Deception Rabbit paid no attention to the students who might go astray; instead, he was curious about how many students had successfully graduated. Of course, this wasn't due to Deception Rabbit's habitual carelessness.

Rather, he knew that since Li Boyang had already taken this issue to heart, the students in the future would most likely not go astray. As for the very few possible exceptions?

As an old-fashioned person who came from the age of gods, Deception Rabbit never believed that there was only one path to take in life.

Whether it's their nature or there are other reasons.

As long as these students are willing to pay the price and bear the consequences, isn't going down Outer Dao just another way of life?

"You... you're still as heartless as ever."

With a hint of helplessness in his voice, Li Boyang continued to explain.

"Among the students you have taught, there will indeed be one who fully inherits your mantle and even surpasses you in the future."

"But it was also because of her existence that most of your students fell into Demon Path and became one of the many Heavenly Demon in the realm of the Desire Realm."

"As a result, the Heavenly Realm even gained a new branch of Heavenly Demon skilled in transformation—the Myriad Transformations Demon!"

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Deception Rabbit never expected that his future disciple would be so powerful.

You can tell from the name "The Myriad Transformations Demon".

This should belong to a branch of the Gandharva, specifically the Heavenly Demon who have taken their transformative abilities to the extreme.

"Unfortunately, Evil Dao is still Evil Dao..."

"He forsakes the path to heaven and insists on turning himself into Heavenly Demon. No wonder my future self didn't stop him."

Upon hearing what Deception Rabbit said, Li Boyang blinked with a strange expression.

"Actually... it's not that you didn't stop him, it's that you died trying to stop her."

"Or to be more precise, the reason she became completely possessed by demons was because of your death."

Upon hearing Li Boyang's words, Deception Rabbit's expression immediately froze.

"My student... could she be a woman?"

After receiving Li Boyang's affirmative nod, Deception Rabbit's expression became even stranger.

"And then your next sentence won't be, 'She likes me,' will it?"

Li Boyang shrugged slightly and smiled noncommittally.

"I don't know about that, but I do know that Xuansu Shi and Yinglong are quite unhappy."

Unable to resist slapping his forehead, Deception Rabbit suddenly regretted his loose tongue.

"Then let me ask you one more question... Is she my student now?"

With his arms crossed over his chest, Li Boyang simply asked in a teasing tone.

"You guess?"

Seeing this, Deception Rabbit immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems she's not my student yet, that's good."

Having spent so many years with Li Boyang, Deception Rabbit had a fairly good understanding of his personality.

Since the other party has not given a clear answer to my question, it's highly likely that the matter hasn't happened yet.

"Tsk tsk tsk, how boring! I wanted to see you jumping up and down in frustration!"

Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Deception Rabbit retorted defiantly.

"Then I'd like to see you jump up and down in frustration!"

"Next time Big Girl cause trouble, I'll definitely sit here and watch you freak out!"

After a round of mutual teasing, the two suddenly looked at each other and burst into laughter, rediscovering that long-lost feeling from before.

"Thanks!"

After a brief burst of laughter, Deception Rabbit gradually composed himself and thanked him softly.

If Deception Rabbit still doesn't understand why Li Boyang is here now, then he has truly wasted all these years.

The other party's purpose in coming here is to rewrite their inevitable fate of death.

The thought that I might fall in love with my students in the future...

The thought of Xuansu Shi and Yinglong weeping before his corpse in the future...

Deception Rabbit's heart was filled with excitement, as well as a sense of bewilderment and helplessness that he couldn't quite explain.
