Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

286 - 《Profound Book of Poisons》

The Divine Devil race was naturally fond of killing and could absorb corpses’ cultivation levels. What’s more, they could also increase their own cultivation by absorbing the three souls and seven spirits of the human body. Such ferocity and malice were things the Dao of Heaven couldn’t tolerate. Therefore, whenever the Divine Devil clan was at its peak, there would always be a son of heaven who would personally slaughter demons, suppressing the Divine Devil clan to a state just like when the race first emerged.

Divine Devils lie dormant, waiting for an opportunity to make a comeback, then suffer defeat. In the long run, it was like a cycle that had been set by the Dao of Heaven since time immemorial, without exception.

Yan Tianhen kept thinking about the prophet family’s predictions every day. He was a Divine Devil and the Star of Destruction. Lin Xuanzhi was the Star of Salvation. He suddenly understood certain matters the day he realized that he was indeed a Divine Devil.

First, his identity was irreversible; a Divine Devil was a Divine Devil. He wouldn’t lose the powerful racial identity of a Divine Devil just because he had half human blood flowing through his veins.

Secondly, the “Divine Devil who would bring chaos to the world” in the prophets’ prophecy meant that he must first plunge the world into chaos before the prophecy could come true. If he didn’t cultivate the demonic path and didn’t bring chaos to the world, then the prophets’ words could no longer be counted on. His Dage was the Star of Salvation, but if there was no chaos in this world and Divine Devil didn’t appear, then Lin Xuanzhi would have no need to save the world.

And lastly, he was a coward.

He couldn’t imagine — if he continued to cultivate those demonic arts and he thought about things according to the Divine Devils’ habits and perspective one day, becoming a true harbinger of chaos who could produce clouds with one turn of his hand and rain with another, then would his Dage, the one selected by the Dao of Heaven exclusively to be his natural enemy; would his Dage still treat him like he did in the past?

Yan Tianhen thought that he could firmly and confidently answer “Yes”, but in reality, how could he have such confidence?

If his affection for Lin Xuanzhi was a mixture of familial affection, admiration, and other complex feelings blended together to finally form a “love”, then how did Lin Xuanzhi fall for him?

To begin with, Lin Xuanzhi’s so-called “love” for him was sudden and inexplicable. It seemed that the day before, Lin Xuanzhi still regarded him as an enemy, his eyes cold and full of abhorrence, but the day after, without any warning, Lin Xuanzhi began to treat him warmly. Even those unfathomable eyes became full of love and indulgence for him.

Even now, Yan Tianhen still couldn’t think of the reason because, no matter what, he could never expect that Lin Xuanzhi’s great emotional changes and abnormal behavior were because he was a person who had been reborn with his past life’s memories.

Yan Tianhen couldn’t figure out the reason; thus, he trembled with fear and trepidation. He didn’t know whether this sudden fondness would suddenly disappear again in the near future.

He did not dare to gamble, nor could he afford to gamble.

He only had Lin Xuanzhi now. Let alone leveling swords at each other; even if Lin Xuanzhi merely treated him with cold indifference, completely ignoring him — just thinking about it made Yan Tianhen feel as though his heart was being cut apart, and his entire person wouldn’t feel good anymore!

Just then, while he was still thinking about that, Esteemed Huai Yu turned back angrily. He stood in front of Yan Tianhen and looked at him coldly. “Don’t want to cultivate the demonic path?”
