Chapter 15 He Isn't Afraid

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

Even if they were killed, those Demon Subduers could just create new accounts.

This little price would serve as a wake-up call to those Demon Subduers!

"You agree with me?" The black-clothed youth looked at Xu Jingming. "Or are you deliberately trying to deceive me? I know, you Demon Subduers can talk the dead back to life with your silver tongues in order to refine a demon's obsession."

"Silver tongues can't shake a Heavenly Demon's obsession," Xu Jingming said.

The black-clothed youth looked at Xu Jingming with a sneer. "It's good that you know."

His obsession was frighteningly firm. He would see what means this Demon Subduer had.

"Those Demon Subduers who deliberately involve countless ordinary people deserve to die," Xu Jingming said. "But you should also know that the entire Demon Subduer group is to maintain order and the stability of the entire world. Without Demon Subduers… countless demons will completely overturn this world."

"It's not much better now," the black-clothed youth said coldly.

"In the villages outside the city, without Demon Subduers, you probably know how miserable those villages are," Xu Jingming said. "If there were no Demon Subduers, the cities of the world would become like those villages outside the city, and demons would run rampant!"

The black-clothed youth said calmly, "Those demons who do evil deserve to die, and 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 not dare 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 days," Xu Jingming said. "I ask you, was he afraid? Did he regret it?"

The black-clothed youth was stunned.

"Wasn't he fearless? Did he laugh at 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, without affecting real life, they could 'go offline' at any time. That's why there was an 'intelligent auto-pilot' function.

To completely disappear offline required no aboriginals to be watching.

But 'intelligent auto-pilot' could be done at any time. Even with many people around, one could activate intelligent auto-pilot at any time.

"With intelligent auto-pilot, the AI is enduring your torture. The Demon Subduers haven't suffered at all," Xu Jingming sighed inwardly. "Moreover, when they're captured and tortured, they're prepared to create new accounts. How could they be afraid? They'll even verbally attack these Heavenly Demons."

The black-clothed youth sighed. "You Demon Subduers are all mentally strong. Even if you slaughter all living beings, you still won't repent. No wonder the leader said… only by creating a new world and a new system can people live a good life."

"Create a new world?" Xu Jingming was surprised. Did the Heavenly Demon leader have such ideas?

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

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

"We only need to kill a Heavenly Demon and devour its obsession. When obsessions collide… we can know its true obsession. If it's a Heavenly Demon on the same path, we can release its obsession and revive it," the black-clothed youth said. "Demon Subduers lie, but Heavenly Demon obsessions don't."

"In our nation, 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 from 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 was to allow top cosmic lifeforms to 'refine their minds against demons,' and another purpose was to force ordinary people to practice martial arts. The harsh environment forced them to work hard and improve.

A sufficiently harsh environment could give birth to more demons.

A sufficiently harsh environment would make people more insane and more motivated, so that they could hope to enter the martial Dao in just a few decades.

If they didn't even work hard in the virtual world and wanted a comfortable life, when would they become cosmic lifeforms from planetary lifeforms?

The suffering in the Demon Subduing world was a fortune in reality.

Like the black-clothed youth 'Yu Xin,' his life was suffering, but he had already entered the martial Dao! And he had become a Heavenly Demon! Once he awakened in reality, these would be enormous fortunes, and he would soar to the sky in a single bound.

Xu Jingming knew that he couldn't say these things! These things couldn't be revealed to the natives.

"Haha, Demon Subduers are trying their best to find Heavenly Demons, and you're actually thinking of gathering together? That will only cause a large group of high-realm Demon Subduers to rush over and capture you all like fishing!"

"It's hard to say who would win if Heavenly Demons united to fight the Demon Subduers," the black-clothed youth said.

"In the entire world, in the nine great nations, many high-realm Demon Subduers 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."

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 you will lose if you gather," Xu Jingming said.

There were too many high-realm Demon Subduers.

In the cosmic human race, too many eighth-order limit cosmic lifeforms were seeking opportunities on other paths. Many had temporarily given up on the Demon Subduing world because Heavenly Demons were too difficult to find.

Once they gathered, a large number of high-realm Demon Subduers would rush over.

At the same time…

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

Once a Heavenly Demon died, it was gone.

High-realm Demon Subduers could create accounts and come in waves. Therefore, it was destined that Heavenly Demons could not 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 am 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 every sinful Demon Subduer know their sins, 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 and burning everything."

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

Xu Jingming felt the other party's burning, crazy obsession.

"Next time, let's meet again," Xu Jingming's mental strength forcefully rejected the black-clothed youth's obsession.

At the instant the obsession was rejected from his body, Demon Subduing magic power wrapped that wisp of natal demonic aura 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 aura twisted and turned 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 the Demon Subduers. He also knows that the dream of establishing a Heavenly Demon nation has a very low chance of success. But he doesn't care; he enjoys the process of fighting and enjoys the process of killing sinful Demon Subduers even more."

Xu Jingming sighed.

Tell the other party that his path was wrong? That his method was wrong?

It was useless!

The other party had long known that the path was wrong, but he was unwilling to turn back. He only wanted to burn himself and kill more sinful Demon Subduers.

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

"I heard that in order to refine Heavenly Demon obsessions, some high-realm Demon Subduers seal the Heavenly Demon's obsession and try again and again, spending ten or twenty years to refine a Heavenly Demon," Xu Jingming said with emotion. "Some people spend a long time and still fail."

Heavenly Demons had a lifespan.

Once the contract period in reality expired, it would be the end in the Demon Subduing world, and the Heavenly Demon would also dissipate.

"However, I also feel the special nature of the Heavenly Demon's obsession," Xu Jingming thought. "That is, the purity, the burning heat, and the firmness of the belief."

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

"Every eighth-order cosmic lifeform has a broad mind and thought."

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

"Why? It is because their obsessions are too pure and too firm. They integrate everything, including their lives, into their obsessions. Therefore, their obsessions are indestructible!"

"When three walk together, one of them is bound to be my teacher."

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

"What about me? Although I am also working hard on the evolutionary path, for the sake of my hometown civilization and for the sake of my family, I am also working hard. But… I have too many distracting thoughts. I will often consider the threat of the Black Moon civilization's infiltration of my hometown."

"I will consider my daughter's growth, and I will consider my relatives' life evolution."

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

"I also think that I am a genius recruited by the Primordial Research Institute, a destined Origin lifeform. I can become an Origin lifeform in about 200 years, and I don't think it's necessary to overexert myself," 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 a Heavenly Demon's obsession?"

"Can I face the evolutionary path with unparalleled sincerity?"

Xu Jingming asked himself again and again.

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

He had to invest more!

Be more sincere!

Burn himself and do everything in his power!

Become an Origin lifeform in about 200 years? Don't limit yourself! Why can't you pursue a higher limit? Two hundred years, one hundred years, fifty years… Some people in history have done it; why can't you?

Refining a Heavenly Demon! It doesn't necessarily have to be successful.

Perhaps there will be gains from the collision of minds.

Even failure may be a gain.

Changes in mindset will have a huge impact on one's evolutionary path.

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

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

Streams of light were being imitated and formed.

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

But he focused on every ray of light, ignoring the oppressive force. When Xu Jingming imitated a new ray of light, he only felt full of joy. "I've taken another step forward; continue!" Ray after ray of light appeared.

The Primordial Star in his mind bloomed with an even more dazzling light, scorching Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness, and also making Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness purer and stronger.

Visualize and imitate, mental strength grows, visualize and imitate more meticulously, mental strength grows even more…

This was a cycle!

Xu Jingming was completely immersed in this taste. He forgot the time, forgot everything, and visualized and imitated the Primordial Star with all his heart.

*Boom!*

When he imitated another ray of light.

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

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

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

According to the description in the inheritance, one had to reach the seventh level to hope to become an Origin lifeform.

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

"The state I was in before, immersed and invested, is something I have never had in all these years of visualizing the Primordial Star." Only then did Xu Jingming get up and leave 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. Seeing Xu Jingming, he said with pleasant surprise, "Young Master, you've finally come out."

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

"It's been twelve days," Wu Qi said. "For twelve days, Young Master hasn't eaten or drank, and hasn't taken a step out of the room."

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

To visualize the Primordial Star continuously 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 were Demon Subduers and demons fighting, and the commotion was very loud," Wu Qi said. "Young Master, you haven't been out, and I haven't left the inn, so I'm not too clear about it."

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

"Young Master is cultivating, and I was worried that someone would disturb you," 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 for dinner quickly."

"Okay," Xu Jingming nodded.
