"To achieve this effect using only the outer shell of the experimental field, it would require the true form to descend," He Lingchuan said gravely. He sincerely hoped he wasn't right. "If that's the case, this world is in deep trouble!"
Tianmo has been conducting this kind of experiment, and Dong Rui has also said that there is indeed a possibility of success.
This was something Sun Hongye observed by chance.
What stage has the Heavenly Demon's secret experiment reached, outside the eyes of the world?
"Didn't we plant spies in the Heavenly Palace?" the mirror asked him. "Why haven't we received any news about it?"
“The Demon Puppet Experiment is one of the deepest secrets of the Heavenly Palace, and it is managed by a special person. It is not something that can be easily accessed,” He Lingchuan said slowly. “Furthermore, Chief Du Yun has been critically ill several times recently, and the entire Heavenly Palace is under high alert. I have ordered them to stop gathering information and passing on messages to prevent exposure. Two months ago, the Heavenly Palace caught two traitors and executed them by slow slicing. They were told that the traitors were sent by Mount Ling.”
"Actually?"
He Lingchuan shrugged: "How would I know? Anyway, it's not Cang Yan's."
Fang Canran also mentioned in the secret letter that as long as the last hundred Xinglong Pillars are sent out, his mission will be basically completed and he can go home!
In a few years, his twin sons had grown into young teenagers. He planned to make a detour to the island first, and then return to Cangyan.
Fang Canran's letter revealed a rare joy and optimism—after years of wandering, he must have been eager to return home when he wrote it.
He Lingchuan slowly closed the secret letter and sighed silently:
"Brother Fang, rest assured. I assure you, your child will live a peaceful and healthy life!"
This is the guarantee of the Nine Nether Emperor.
……
A quarter of an hour later.
He Lingchuan closed the doors and windows, set up the protective barrier, took out a small clay statue from his pocket, placed it on the low table near the east window, and then lit an incense stick for it.
The smoke rose straight and solitary, and there wasn't a breath of wind in the room.
He Lingchuan sat by the low table, resting his chin on his hand.
“God of Puyin, come out,” he said calmly. “I know you have arrived.”
A wisp of smoke gathered but did not disperse, forming a blurry human face. Then a shrill voice rang out:
"Oh, it was actually the Nine Nether Emperor who summoned me. How rare."
This time, He Lingchuan summoned not Narakuten, but Puyin, the first demon he encountered when he set foot on the Gold Plains many years ago.
When Shizhoutou City was in danger, the garrison commander Yang Meng went to the Puyin Temple behind the city for help and ran into He Lingchuan.
Back then, the Gold Plains were dotted with small temples. Even the smallest temple gate was still the face of a god. No matter which one He Lingchuan went to, he had to wear a mask, for fear of revealing his identity.
Now he sits casually in his study, and the "gods" who were once high and mighty are summoned to him with ease.
“I have a few questions for you.” He Lingchuan took out seven Dragon-Slaying Pillars and gently placed them on the table. “If the information is useful, I’ll add seven more; if I discover any lies mixed in, I’ll have your temple in the Western Islands demolished as well.”
"..." It had finally managed to develop a new group of believers in the Western Islands and built a temple just half a year ago. How did this guy know about it?
Building a new temple and attracting believers is now ten times more difficult than it used to be.
As the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revived, the physical condition and lifespan of humans changed. Those who had the means went on to cultivate immortality, and the worship of gods greatly decreased. Secondly, the vast Shanjin Plain was originally a place of faith for minor gods, but after the rise of the Nine Nether Emperor, the Cangyan Empire destroyed all the temples and forbade the people from making offerings to the gods in private.
Thirdly, there is the change in the attitude of many people towards gods. They used to respectfully call them "gods," but now they call them "demons." This one-word difference represents the distinction between faith and hatred.
Therefore, minor deities like Puyin can only develop their followers in remote and underdeveloped areas. Where people are isolated, backward, and conservative, and resist new ideas, they still have an audience.
Among the minor gods, it's doing quite well; some minor gods don't even have temples left in the human world.
Without a temple, there is no name, and humans will not recognize it.
Influence on earth is also one of the important criteria for judging the power of gods in the divine realm.
Puyin's misty human face moved slightly: "Ask away."
Although the person in front of it destroyed its temple, it was still beneficial to be able to deal with the most outstanding people in the world, which is why it answered the call and came.
"The Emperor's blood has not flowed for three months, and I hear that the heavens are much more peaceful. Do you have any information for me?"
Puyin almost rolled his eyes: "Even chaos has an end. The Heavenly Realm has been in chaos for so many years, do you think the chaos will never stop?"
This guy probably wishes all the gods were dead, right?
"The Gold Plains have been in chaos for a thousand years, while the Celestial Realm has only been in turmoil for a few years. In terms of time, it's still far from the end, isn't it?" He Lingchuan laughed. "If you're going to say that the gods understand order, peace, and morality better than humans, I don't believe it. So what's the real reason? Tell me."
People with discernment in the human world used to view others through a filter, hating that the immortals and sects were useless, only knowing how to fight and kill all day long, unlike the harmonious, friendly and united demon realm. No wonder the nightmare energy kept running towards the demon realm... until the appearance of the Xinglong Pillar!
With the appearance of the Xinglong Pillar, demons began scrambling to acquire it. Over the years, the illusions that the human world held about the demon realm have shattered, and no one dares to utter the phrase "they are better than us" anymore.
“I’m telling the truth!” Puyin God chuckled coldly. “Today, there are only seventeen true gods left in the heavenly realm, and only sixty thousand of the original one hundred thousand gods remain. The battles that needed to be fought have been basically over, and this calamity should be over.”
It has only been twelve years since Miao Zhantian fell, and the Demon Realm has already lost one-third of its population!
The birth of new Heavenly Demons is rare and difficult, even requiring the use of Nightmare Qi stored in the Punishment Dragon Pillar. As a result, so many adult Heavenly Demons have died in recent years, no wonder the Emperor's Dew in the human world is becoming less and less valuable.
He Lingchuan already knew these numbers, so he remained completely unmoved.
From ancient times to the present, the human population has decreased by more than 30%. Their flesh and blood have all been transformed into nightmare energy, allowing the demon realm to enjoy three thousand years of peace.
“I am well aware of all of this, and the cause of the series of wars in the Demon Realm is not just Xinglongzhu, but hatred.” He Lingchuan said slowly, “Only hatred has the power to transcend time and space, so the war in the Demon Realm has been temporarily suspended, there must be other fundamental reasons that have temporarily suppressed the power of hatred.”
Mi Tian truly lived up to his reputation as an ancient god of death and one of the creators of Tianluo Star, possessing a profound understanding of the Demon Realm. The Punishment Dragon Pillar he concocted fundamentally destroyed the Demon Realm's system, which had been effective for thousands of years, using humanity—no, demonic nature—to fight against and disrupt the order.
When order breaks down, things that were forcibly covered up will come to the fore.
