"Roar!"
The soul demon’s four claws dug into the ground, its eyes fierce, staring intently at the man before it.
From this man, it felt a sensation it had never experienced before. It didn't know what this feeling represented, but it made its limbs tremble uncontrollably.
Was this fear?
"Did the plan succeed?" The man, the true Changsheng, looked at the back of his hands. Two runes were emitting a soft, glowing light.
An unknown will was connected to his heart, and he could easily command this will, sending it here and there at will.
This was a new realm beyond longevity!
Controlling the will of a world!
Without exaggeration, Changsheng could now easily alter anything in the Changsheng Realm, including the past, present, and future! As long as it belonged to the Changsheng Realm, he could change it with ease!
Compared to the soul demon, which could only simply use the will of the soul realm to attack, Changsheng had already completely merged with the will of the Changsheng Realm!
"Submit to me, and I shall spare your life!"
Changsheng withdrew his hands and looked indifferently at the soul demon.
This fellow was also a product of the world's will, and could even drive the world's will in a simple manner. Changsheng did not wish to kill it like this, and a sense of appreciation arose in him.
But the soul demon did not buy Changsheng's act. It didn't even know what fear was. Even though its body trembled instinctively, its mind had no concept of fear.
"Roar!" The soul demon roared and opened its mouth to bite Changsheng. The surrounding world's will was mobilized, and countless invisible hands reached out to grasp Changsheng.
"Stubborn fool!"
Changsheng snorted, "Break!"
The surrounding space instantly solidified, and with continuous explosions, the soul realm's will driven by the soul demon was instantly crushed by the Changsheng Realm's will. Even the soul demon itself froze, and then glass-like cracks appeared all over its body.
"Boom, boom, boom..." The soul demon's body exploded repeatedly, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
"Aowww~" The soul demon cried out in pain, but its body was unable to move, firmly suppressed by the will of the Changsheng Realm.
Compared to a world, its size was too small! The two were not in the same weight class at all.
Of course, if it could completely control the soul realm, Changsheng might have to flee in disarray.
After all, the strength of the soul realm was far greater than that of the Changsheng Realm.
But there were no "ifs". The soul demon could not control the world's will, and thus had no ability to confront Changsheng! The two were no longer on the same level.
Changsheng's suppression of it was as easy as lifting a hand!
"Since you refuse to yield, I will beat you until you do," Changsheng said calmly, increasing the pressure on his hand. The soul demon's body began to creak, as if bearing immense pressure.
In fact, this was the case. Changsheng was currently pressing half the weight of the Changsheng Realm onto the soul demon in the form of world will. The fact that it hadn't been crushed instantly was a testament to its robust physique!
Time ticked by, and the soul demon could no longer maintain its giant wolf form, being forced back into its original amorphous state. However, even so, it was still being constantly crushed by the world will of the Changsheng Realm, its body shrinking smaller and smaller.
"Buzz~ Buzz~" The soul demon suddenly buzzed a few times.
"Oh? Have you decided to yield?" Changsheng smiled faintly and withdrew the Changsheng Realm's will that was pressing down on the soul demon.
How could he have devised this series of schemes and plans, and risked his life to split himself into two? One must know that once he split, the two "selves" that appeared would be two independent personalities, and it would be difficult to merge back together.
To make two personalities merge, the target must pose a threat to both of them, so that they would merge back into oneself. Thus, Changsheng set up this game.
Fang Ming became "human," while Changsheng guarded the Changsheng Realm. Ultimately, they would have to face the soul demon!
In this step, he even calculated himself!
"It seems I need to deal with these worlds," Changsheng mused, rubbing his chin and blinking his eyes.
With that said, Changsheng used the will of the Changsheng Realm to break through the barrier of a world and entered it.
This was the Sorrowful Realm, which also had a ruler at the longevity level – the Beast King of Sorrow.
Changsheng no longer paid attention to opponents at the longevity level. After subduing them in a similar manner, Changsheng propped up the opened rift in the barrier, connecting this world to the Changsheng Realm. Instantly, resentment and sorrow began to mingle, and their purity began to decline.
Changsheng carefully observed the fused energy and confirmed that this substance would not give birth to new monsters, before he confidently moved on to another world.
There were many subordinate worlds. Based on his experience with the Soul Realm and the Sorrowful Realm, Changsheng began to clear out these worlds one by one, then broke through the barriers between them, allowing the negative energies in different worlds to merge, making the originally pure energies impure and unable to give birth to new monsters.
During this period, Changsheng dispatched a Void Fiend back to the real world to capture all the Resentment Fiends that had taken the opportunity to escape the Changsheng Realm. At the same time, he had it deliver the two runes to the two little girls.
These two runes were to protect the lives of the little girls.
He would have no further interaction with the little girls in the future, but allowing them to live healthily was Fang Ming's wish before his fusion, and he naturally had to fulfill it.
...
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
The real world had experienced the disaster of the Resentment Fiends' descent. Countries began to research these monsters, but they found that these monsters, known as Resentment Fiends, were rapidly decreasing in number over the past few years. Even now, a single experimental sample of the Fiend Seed level was worth hundreds of millions!
"Professor Liu, how is Changsheng's plan progressing?"
Mayor Huang arrived at the underground laboratory of the municipal government. It was much larger and had more personnel than ten years ago! Experimental samples were confined in cultivation tanks.
Since the incident of the Resentment Fiends was exposed, Mayor Huang no longer concealed it and directly reported the research on "Soul Element" to his superiors. To his surprise, his superiors, upon hearing that it involved Changsheng, became even more concerned than Mayor Huang, and immediately arranged for experts from various fields to come to the laboratory to research the transformation of Resentment Fiends.
Of course, such things related to the essence of the world were not something that humans could research in a few years. Humans still couldn't solve the side effect of losing their sanity, and could only suppress it.
Liu Chen stopped his work, adjusted his glasses, and sighed, "I'm sorry, we still have no way to solve the issue of losing sanity. Furthermore, based on our research, our best experimental samples are only at the Half-Fiend level, with too low a strength and limited research content."
Mayor Huang naturally knew this situation, but he had no means to bring Fierce Fiends for Liu Chen to research.
Fierce Fiends were already the peak that humans could deal with. Facing a skilled one, even an army might not be able to take it down, let alone capture it for research.
"How is the situation at the Funeral Parlor?" Liu Chen asked cautiously.
Since the turmoil ten years ago, the higher-ups had known that Fang Ming's identity was not simple. However, to avoid any accidents, they had only sent people to monitor him all these years without taking any action.
After all, Fang Ming, whom they considered the "boss," had disappeared, and instead, a pair of twins had appeared. Moreover, according to Zheng Zhu Liu, the truly terrifying ones were these two little girls.
This was why the higher-ups had been patient all these years and dared not make a move against the Funeral Parlor. One must know that a crocodile with a severed tail there was a bona fide Fierce Fiend! Just this Fierce Fiend alone was now worth several billion!
"It's still the same." Mayor Huang spread his hands. The pair of twins and a young man had very regular routines every day. They would either take Eighth Master for a walk or watch over the shop and conduct business.
"Buzz~ Buzz~" Mayor Huang's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello? What is it?"
"Mayor, it's a big deal! That Fang Ming, he's back!"
