"Although I am a Demon Subduer, I can understand you, and I also think some Demon Subduers deserve to die," Xu Jingming said, looking at Yu Xin.

Even if they are killed, those Demon Subduers can simply create new accounts.

This small price will serve as a wake-up call for those Demon Subduers!

"You agree with me?" the black-clothed youth looked at Xu Jingming. "Or are you deliberately deceiving me with your rhetoric? I know that you Demon Subduers can talk the dead back to life with your tongues in order to refine the obsessions of demons."

"Rhetoric cannot shake the obsession of a Heavenly Demon," Xu Jingming said.

The black-clothed youth sneered as he looked at Xu Jingming. "It's good that you know."

His obsession was frighteningly firm. He wanted to see what methods this Demon Subduer had.

"Those Demon Subduers who deliberately harm countless ordinary people deserve to die," Xu Jingming said. "But you should also know that the entire group of Demon Subduers exists to maintain order, to maintain the stability of the entire world. Without Demon Subduers... countless demons would completely overturn the entire world."

"Things aren't much better now," the black-clothed youth said coldly.

"In the rural villages outside the city, without Demon Subduers, the misery of those villages, I believe you know," Xu Jingming said. "Without Demon Subduers, the entire world's cities would become like the villages outside the city. Demons would run rampant!"

The black-clothed youth said calmly, "Those demons who do evil deserve to die, but the Demon Subduers who deliberately create these demons deserve to die even more."

"Demon Subduers and demons are all over the world. I know we can't completely solve the problem," the black-clothed youth said. "What we need is deterrence! To make more Demon Subduers afraid to do such things."

"You can't deter them," Xu Jingming said.

"We can deter them by killing more," the black-clothed youth said.

"You once captured your enemy and tortured him for three whole days," Xu Jingming said. "I ask you, was he afraid? Did he regret it?"

The black-clothed youth was stunned.

"Wasn't he completely fearless? And even mocked you?" Xu Jingming said.

"Why?" the black-clothed youth asked. "Why aren't you Demon Subduers afraid? I've killed so many Demon Subduers, even tortured them, why aren't they afraid?"

Xu Jingming was silent.

Of course, they weren't afraid!

For the sake of life in the virtual world, and to avoid affecting real life. In critical moments, they can 'log off' at any time. That's why there's the 'intelligent auto-pilot' function.

Completely disappearing offline requires no natives to be watching.

But 'intelligent auto-pilot' can be activated at any time. Even with many people around, it can be activated at any time.

"With intelligent auto-pilot, the AI is enduring your torture. Demon Subduers don't suffer at all," Xu Jingming sighed inwardly. "And when they're captured and tortured, they're prepared to create a new account. How could they be afraid? They might even verbally strike back at these Heavenly Demons."

The black-clothed youth sighed. "You Demon Subduers are all mentally strong. Even if you slaughter all living beings, you still don't repent. No wonder the leader said... only by creating a new world, a new system, can people's lives be better."

"Create a new world?" Xu Jingming asked in surprise. Does the Heavenly Demon leader have such thoughts?

"A kingdom ruled by Heavenly Demons," the black-clothed youth said coldly. "The leader will set the rules, and the Heavenly Demons must follow them."

"Heavenly Demons all have obsessions. Will they all follow?" Xu Jingming asked curiously.

"Just kill a Heavenly Demon, devour its obsession, and when the obsessions collide... you can know its true obsession. If it's a Heavenly Demon on the same path, you can release its obsession and let it be reborn," the black-clothed youth said. "Demon Subduers lie, but Heavenly Demon obsessions don't lie."

"In our kingdom, the top Heavenly Demons will all follow the leader's rules," the black-clothed youth said. "That will be paradise."

The black-clothed youth's eyes were filled with anticipation.

Having suffered endless hardships since childhood, working diligently all his life, being cautious all his life, being ruthless and cowardly, yet still having his life ruined. He wanted a place where ordinary people could live happily, that was the paradise of his dreams.

Xu Jingming looked at him.

Paradise?

The purpose of creating this Demon Subduing world is to allow the top cosmic lifeforms to 'refine their demons' in their hearts, and another purpose is to force ordinary people to practice martial arts. The harsh environment forces them to strive for progress.

A sufficiently harsh environment can give rise to more demons.

A sufficiently harsh environment can make people more crazy, more motivated, and make it possible to enter the realm of martial arts in just a few decades.

If you don't even strive in the virtual world, if you only want a comfortable life, when will you be able to transform from a planetary lifeform to a cosmic lifeform?

The suffering in the Demon Subduing world is a wealth in reality.

Like the black-clothed youth 'Yu Xin', life is suffering, but he has already entered the realm of martial arts! And he has become a Heavenly Demon! Once he awakens in reality, all of this will be an immense wealth, and he will soar to the sky in a single bound.

Xu Jingming knew that he couldn't say any of this! It's forbidden to reveal these things to the natives.

"Ha, Demon Subduers are racking their brains to find Heavenly Demons, and you're thinking of gathering together? That will only attract a large group of high-realm Demon Subduers to kill you all like they're fishing!"

"It's still debatable who would win if Heavenly Demons joined forces to fight Demon Subduers," the black-clothed youth said.

"Throughout the nine great nations of the world, numerous high-realm Demon Subduers in each nation are searching for traces of Heavenly Demons," Xu Jingming said. "High-realm Demon Subduers have an absolute advantage. As long as you dare to gather openly, you will be wiped out in one fell swoop."

The black-clothed youth also felt that the leader's idea had a low probability of success.

"I can tell you with absolute certainty that if you gather, you will definitely lose," Xu Jingming said.

There are too many high-realm Demon Subduers.

The human race of the universe has too many eighth-order limit cosmic lifeforms seeking opportunities on other paths. Many have temporarily given up on the Demon Subduing world because Heavenly Demons are too difficult to find.

Once they gather, a large number of high-realm Demon Subduers will come to kill them.

At the same time...

Even if high-realm Demon Subduers die in battle, they can create new accounts and quickly make a comeback.

But when a Heavenly Demon dies, it's gone for good.

High-realm Demon Subduers can create accounts and come in waves. So it's destined that Heavenly Demons cannot defeat high-realm Demon Subduers.

"Haha..." the black-clothed youth laughed. "Actually, I also think that the leader's pursuit is too difficult, it's simply a dream. But I'm willing to give everything for this dream."

"As long as I can kill Demon Subduers to my heart's content in the process! And let each and every sinful Demon Subduer know their sin, I will feel happy," the black-clothed youth looked at Xu Jingming. "Sometimes, the result doesn't matter, what matters is... giving everything on this path, burning everything I have."

"The moment my junior sister died, the moment I became a demon, my existence has had only one purpose," the black-clothed youth grinned, "To slaughter those sinful Demon Subduers!"

Xu Jingming felt the burning madness of the other party's obsession.

"Next time, let's meet again," Xu Jingming's mental power forcibly repelled the black-clothed youth's obsession.

At the instant the obsession was forced out of his body, the Demon Subduing power wrapped around that wisp of natal demonic energy and collected it into the jade bottle.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at the jade bottle in front of him.

Inside the jade bottle, the natal demonic energy twisted and transformed into the appearance of the black-clothed youth, staring at Xu Jingming and mocking him.

"This Heavenly Demon Yu Xin knows that he can't scare Demon Subduers. He also knows that the dream of establishing a Heavenly Demon kingdom has a very low chance of success. But he doesn't care, he enjoys the process of struggle, enjoys the process of killing sinful Demon Subduers even more."

Xu Jingming sighed.

Tell him that his path is wrong? That his method is wrong?

It's useless!

The other party already knows that his path is wrong, but he's unwilling to turn back. He only seeks to burn himself, to kill more sinful Demon Subduers.

After putting away the jade bottle, Xu Jingming walked to the window, sat down at the table, and poured himself a glass of wine.

"I heard that in order to refine the obsessions of Heavenly Demons, some high-realm Demon Subduers seal away the obsessions of Heavenly Demons and try again and again, spending ten or twenty years to refine a single Heavenly Demon," Xu Jingming sighed. "Some people spend a long time, but still fail."

Heavenly Demons have a lifespan.

Once the contract in reality expires, the limit has been reached in the Demon Subduing world, and the Heavenly Demon will dissipate as well.

"However, I also feel the special nature of Heavenly Demon obsessions," Xu Jingming thought. "That is the purity, the burning intensity, and the firmness of their belief."

Eighth-order cosmic lifeforms learn a large amount of knowledge in the humanities and sciences. It would be an understatement to say that they 'know astronomy above and geography below'. They know a vast amount of technological knowledge in the vast universe, and know a large amount of the crystallization of wisdom in the humanities.

"Every eighth-order cosmic lifeform has a vast mind and thoughts."

"But what about Heavenly Demons? They are almost all ordinary people who have signed contracts with the virtual world, and their memories have been erased, like a blank sheet of paper. Their knowledge is very rudimentary, but even an eighth-order limit can't shake their obsessions."

"Why? It's because their obsessions are too pure, too firm. They integrate everything, including their lives, into their obsessions. So their obsessions are indestructible!"

"Of three men walking together, I am sure to find teachers."

"Heavenly Demons may have all kinds of shortcomings, but one of them is stronger than me. That is the purity and firmness of their belief."

"What about me? Although I am also working hard on the path of evolution, for the sake of my home civilization, for the sake of my family, I am also working very hard. But... I have too many distractions. I will often consider the threat of the Black Moon civilization's infiltration of my home."

"I will consider my daughter's growth, I will consider the evolution of my relatives' lives."

"I will pay attention to my master Liu Hai and the others."

"I will also think that I am a genius recruited by the Primordial Research Institute, a destined Source Lifeform. I can become a Source Lifeform in about two hundred years, and I feel that there is no need to squeeze myself too much," Xu Jingming said silently. "Eighth-order cosmic lifeforms come into contact with an incredibly vast amount of information, but they can also be affected by this information."

"Can I be as sincere as the obsessions of a Heavenly Demon?"

"Can I face the path of evolution with absolute sincerity?"

Xu Jingming asked himself again and again.

"Not enough effort!" Xu Jingming gave the answer in his heart.

He must be more involved!

More sincere!

Burn himself, do everything in his power!

Become a Source Lifeform in about two hundred years? Don't set limits for himself! Why can't he pursue a higher limit? Two hundred years, one hundred years, fifty years... Someone in history has been able to do it, why can't he?

Refining Heavenly Demons! It doesn't necessarily have to succeed.

The collision of the minds of both sides may bring gains.

Even if it fails, it may be a gain.

Changes in mentality will have a huge impact on a person's path of evolution.

Xu Jingming sat cross-legged on the bed, contemplating the Primordial Star.

"Burn myself, constantly pursue higher limits." Xu Jingming visualized and imitated the Primordial Star in his mind. His *Light Ray Visualization Method* focused on the light rays of the Primordial Star. At this moment, the Primordial Star in his mind became clearer and clearer.

One light ray after another was formed through imitation.

As the Primordial Star became more vast, its power also scorched Xu Jingming's mind.

But he focused on each light ray, ignoring the sense of oppression. When Xu Jingming imitated a new light ray, he only felt joy in his heart. "I have taken another step forward, continue!" One light ray after another appeared.

The Primordial Star in his mind bloomed with an increasingly dazzling light. It scorched Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness, and also made Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness more pure and stronger.

Visualize and imitate, mental strength grows, visualize and imitate in more detail, mental strength grows even more...

This is a cycle!

Xu Jingming was completely immersed in this feeling. He forgot the time, forgot everything, and wholeheartedly visualized and imitated the Primordial Star.

*Boom.*

When he imitated another light ray.

The light of the entire Primordial Star underwent a qualitative change.

Xu Jingming suddenly woke up. Only then did he feel that his mental power had become much stronger, and he also felt a sense of fatigue.

"I, has my *Light Ray Visualization Method* broken through to the sixth level?" Xu Jingming was surprised. Although he had reached the eighth-order limit, his *Light Ray Visualization Method* had only reached the fifth level before.

According to the description in the inheritance, he must reach the seventh level to have hope of becoming a Source Lifeform.

Today's breakthrough to the sixth level, although there is still an essential difference from the seventh level, the improvement is already very large.

"The state of immersion and dedication I was in before is something I haven't experienced in all these years of visualizing the Primordial Star," Xu Jingming got up and left the room.

Outside the house, Wu Qi was sleeping on the stone table.

Hearing the sound of the wooden door opening, Wu Qi woke up with a start. When he saw Xu Jingming, he said with joy, "Young Master, you've finally come out."

"How long have I been cultivating this time?" Xu Jingming asked. He was too absorbed, and he had no sense of the passage of time.

"It's been twelve days," Wu Qi said. "Twelve days, Young Master hasn't eaten or drunk, and hasn't stepped out of the room."

"It's been so long?" Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

Visualizing the Primordial Star, continuing for twelve days at a time? He had never done that before.

"Has anything happened in the city recently?" Xu Jingming asked.

"I heard the waiter at the inn say that there have been Demon Subduers and demons fighting, and the commotion was very big," Wu Qi said. "Young Master, you haven't been out, and I haven't left the inn, so I'm not too clear."

Xu Jingming said, "Uncle Qi, have you been guarding here for these twelve days?"

"I was worried that someone would disturb Young Master's cultivation," Wu Qi said with a smile. "Young Master, you haven't eaten anything for twelve days, you must be very hungry. Let's go out to eat quickly."

"Okay," Xu Jingming nodded.
