Chapter 1797: Chapter 487: Reverence, Drunken Life and Dream Death (5k)
The birth of a new generation of Heavenly Devil King, or to be precise, from today, the words "Heavenly Devil King" have become a historical term.
Freedom Heaven understood very well that what he wanted was just this identity, this rank.
He had followed Yu Ziqing for too long, so long that he understood too well what he would encounter if he remained the Heavenly Devil King.
Perhaps in another few thousand years, he would also become a mere dish, achieving a state of non-Freedom Heaven.
Therefore, having gained the qualification to inherit the rank of Heavenly Devil King, at the moment he began to fully inherit, he actively exercised the only ability to alter this rank.
He completely fixed his own positioning.
Or rather, he bound himself completely at the rank level.
From now on, no matter what ideas he might have, this unchangeable core would firmly restrict him.
Time can change a person’s thoughts, and as a Heavenly Demon, Freedom Heaven understood the Heavenly Demons too well.
He was genuinely somewhat afraid that if Yu Ziqing were no longer around, he might give birth to other ideas.
Better to block all the windows first and be done with it.
He understood too well that among all living beings, the vast majority were ordinary people, but each era would give birth to some extraordinary individuals.
Better call it quits and see what the Heavenly Devil King had turned into.
In the endless darkness, being suppressed and beaten for countless years, even the water in his brain was wrung dry.
After coming out, he hid everywhere like a Seven Yin King, only to be tricked by All Gods, sending himself to doom.
Freedom Heaven attained great enlightenment, finding the path to eternal existence.
As the great oath was completed, Freedom Heaven’s form began to transform completely.
His figure turned into a wisp of black qi, the fluctuations of power slowly dissipating, seen in form but not heard in sound.
Following closely, the demonic qi also began to change.
The demonic qi belonging to the Devil turned into a new demonic qi, resembling yet not resembling the Devil Dao cultivators of the human race.
Within that demonic qi, there was an inherent divine aura of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.
A wisp of black qi split off, soaring nine thousand li up, directly merging into the present world.
In the sky, a thunderclap resounded, dark clouds emerged, lightning dragons danced wildly within, the Heavenly Fire Gang Wind howled, yet nothing fell.
When the dark clouds dispersed, a rainbow bridge appeared in the sky, the day was bright and sunny, a scene of light.
The form of Freedom Heaven recomposed itself, transforming into a human form.
At first glance, there was no difference from before, but he no longer had the scent of a Devil.
He was now the Freedom Heaven Devil King; the correct parsing of this title is Freedom Heaven... Devil King, not Freedom... Heavenly Devil King.
There was no longer a Heavenly Devil King.
Once Freedom Heaven stood firmly again, he immediately paid respects to Yu Ziqing and voluntarily stood behind him.
Yu Ziqing glanced at Freedom Heaven, sniffed, slightly regretful.
Freedom Heaven had also turned into sawdust.
Not at all like a Heavenly Devil King, capable of turning a devil into a feast.
"Any changes?"
Freedom Heaven glanced at the bunch of seemingly well-behaved quails in the Devil Sect’s territory.
In Freedom Heaven’s eyes, it was as if he could directly glimpse into those people’s heart fields, seeing things that only Freedom Heaven could see manifested from them.
Freedom Heaven met the gaze of an old cultivator, and in that instant, time seemed to pause, his spirit directly entering the old cultivator’s heart field.
He constructed an Illusion Realm for the old cultivator’s own memories to fill.
He saw this elder, whose lifespan was nearing its end, a hundred years ago, when he was a young Sixth Tier cultivator, the most prosperous period of his life.
Then, he failed to advance, lost in the sect’s grand competition, completely losing his advancement qualifications, and was utilized as breeding stock by the sect.
A person who, in such intense competition within this sect, managed to advance to the Sixth Tier is a rare resource indeed.
The probability of producing Devil Dao disciples from his offspring would be quite high.
With some special methods, like aging a Sixth Tier devil cultivator a hundred years as a price, that probability would increase greatly.
At the very least, there would definitely be cultivation potential, and a very small chance possibly producing a Devil Dao genius.
But even if the probability is tiny, it is better than the sect trying its luck randomly across the world.
Moreover, growing up within the sect ensures much higher controllability.
Producing gifted offspring renders a contribution to the sect, and if a genius indeed emerges, the sect would spare no cost in restoring the elder’s damaged foundation, assisting in breakthrough, following a standard procedure.
This is what a devil sect is — cruelty laid bare.
If you have value, you are a disciple.
If you have immense value, you can even negotiate for the position of Sect Master.
If you’re worthless, you’re just kitchen waste, at most a fertilizer for nurturing the next generation.
After observing one, Freedom Heaven spoke out.
"Raise your head, look at me."
As he spoke with divine aura, the people of the Devil Sect involuntarily lifted their heads to look at Freedom Heaven.
In that moment, Freedom Heaven rapidly peered into everyone’s heart fields.
These Devil Cultivators, to Freedom Heaven, were practically defenseless.
In just three breaths, he had peered into all their heart fields, all while extending a hand, dispersing a wisp of demonic qi into Yu Ziqing’s palm.
"My lord, you may take a look; this is my ability."
Yu Ziqing wiped the demonic qi over his eyes, sharing Freedom Heaven’s perspective.
