She didn't expect to be able to reason with these demons. She couldn't communicate with them. Trying to reason with a group of demons was just wishful thinking.
However, it was a pity that she couldn't see her beloved one last time before she died.
She regretted it very much. She regretted running out back then. She was childish. It seemed that there was a huge gap between her and the person in his heart.
At this moment, the Horn Demon said, "It's up to you whether you want to fight or not. We won't kill you!"
"What do you mean?"
Liu Xiaoli was confused. Could it be that these demons would be so kind?
She didn't expect these Horn Demons to explain to her, but she heard one of them say, "Since you're already here, we only want to save our partner. We only want you to become our partner and our clansman."
"Partner?
Clansman? "
Liu Xiaoli was puzzled and asked, "Can you be more clear?"
One of the Horn Demons seemed to be happy and said, "It's been a long time since someone came. Today, there's one more clansman, and it's a woman. We're in a good mood, so we'll tell you. Do you know where we came from?"
Liu Xiaoli nodded and said, "You're demons born from the demonic aura and baleful aura here."
"Haha …"
The four Horn Demons laughed wildly at the same time. This made Liu Xiaoli a little confused. She frowned and asked, "Aren't we?"
A Horn Demon pointed at the surrounding Black Hair Demons and Red Hair Demons and said, "They are, but we aren't. They're just condensed from the demonic aura and the baleful aura here by our lord to give birth to some clansmen. You came from the outside, so you should know what this place is.
Being trapped in this place, we can't get out, and we can't communicate with the Heavenly Demon Realm. There aren't many people here, so it's very boring. Our lord wanted to use the demonic aura to nourish some clansmen, but unfortunately, he failed.
As for using the baleful aura, there's no harm in telling you. Anyway, you'll be one of us soon. He used the baleful aura because he wanted to see the baleful aura give birth to some clansmen. He might be able to use the baleful aura to walk out of here and return to the Heavenly Demon Realm. But he also failed. "
"So that's how it is!"
Liu Xiaoli finally understood. These Red-Haired Demons and Black-Haired Demons were test subjects, and failed test subjects. However, this was only Black-Haired Demons and Red-Haired Demons.
"What about you guys? You said that you guys weren't born from the Heavenly Demonic Qi and Baleful Qi here, so where did you guys come from?"
Since the other party wasn't in a hurry to make a move, Zhang Xuan might as well chat with them. Since things had already come to this, he might as well learn as much as he could. If time dragged on, there might still be a chance for him to survive.
If one could live, no one would choose to die.
"Actually, we're also considered to be part of the human race. Did you know?
As a human, you should know better than anyone that there's a demon living in everyone's heart. It's what you call a heart demon.
Some people have a firm dao heart and can suppress their inner demons. Some people can't. But no matter which one it is, do you know what will happen to your inner demons after you die? "
Liu Xiaoli didn't even think about it before blurting out, "When a person dies, his Dao disappears. Everything becomes nothing!"
"Do you believe it?" a Horned Demon asked.
Do you believe it?
Liu Xiaoli didn't know how to answer. When a person dies, everything becomes nothing. For ordinary people, this saying was absolutely believable.
But for cultivators, it seemed to be very difficult to believe. Cultivators knew much more than ordinary people. As long as one's soul didn't disperse, there was a possibility of reincarnation.
Moreover, cultivators paid attention to karma. The cause of this life and the effect of the next life. This meant that it was impossible for everything to become nothing after a person died, unless their soul was dispersed.
When the Horned Demon saw Liu Xiaoli's hesitation, he said with a smile, "Look, even you don't believe it!"
Liu Xiaoli nodded and said, "Alright, continue!"
He had to admit that sometimes, when a person died, it wasn't as if nothing had happened. A person didn't die into nothing.
"I just said that there's a demon living in everyone's heart. Regardless of whether a person can suppress the demon in their heart when they're alive, do you know what will happen to this demon after a person dies?"
The Horned Demon didn't expect Liu Xiaoli to answer. He paused for a moment and continued, "You don't know, but I'm in a good mood today, so I can tell you. Before that, you have to understand what the demon in a person's heart is.
I just said that the demon in a person's heart is the heart demon. The heart demon is the condensation of the sin, desire, lust, and all the negative dark forces in a person's heart.
After some people die, the demon in their heart will also disappear. Most people are like this.
However, some people with deep obsessions will combine their obsessions with the heart demon, making the heart demon indestructible. After such a heart demon leaves the body, it will enter the Heavenly Demon World, transform into a Heavenly Demon, and obtain the Heavenly Demon Body.
However, there's an exception to this. They won't obtain the Heavenly Demon Body, and that's the Faceless Heavenly Demon. It's also the most terrifying existence in the Heavenly Demon World, and it's extremely rare. "
"So that's how the Heavenly Demon came about. In that case, it's not wrong for you to be considered a human in the past. Are you also born like this?"
Liu Xiaoli was a little surprised. This was the first time she heard of the origin of the Heavenly Demon. Even in her previous life, she didn't know about it.
"Heavenly Demons don't have the ability to reproduce themselves, but all living things in this world have heart demons. As long as their obsessions are strong and their sins are deep, they can provide an endless stream of fresh troops for the Heavenly Demon World. However, we're different from what's mentioned above.
We didn't enter the Heavenly Demon World, so we can't obtain the Heavenly Demon Body. Our current bodies are our original bodies. It was Lord who released us from the bottom of the human heart and then occupied this body. After Lord's Heavenly Demon power transformed us, we became this Heavenly Demon Body.
Lord said that our bodies can't be compared to the real Heavenly Demon Body. Even the fake Heavenly Demon Body is quite different from the real Heavenly Demon Body.
However, fake Heavenly Demon Bodies like us have an ability that a real Heavenly Demon Body doesn't have, and that is reproduction. We can also reproduce, but our fertility is much lower. It can't be compared to the human race, and it's even more difficult than the dragon race. "
The Horned Demon didn't hold back at all and told everything to Liu Xiaoli. Perhaps this was because victory was in his hands and he didn't have any scruples.
"Who is your Lord?"
Liu Xiaoli's heart moved and she asked. It wasn't the first time she heard the Horned Demon mention this so-called 'Lord'.
This question made the Horned Demon hesitate. In the end, he shook his head and said, "I can't tell you for the time being. When you become one of us, you'll be able to see Lord. However, I can tell you that Lord is a real Heavenly Demon from the Heavenly Demon World."
"How strong is your Lord?"
"I can't say that either. As long as it's related to Lord, you don't have the right to know now." The Horned Demon shook his head firmly.
Liu Xiaoli didn't give up and asked, "Then let's change the question. Are you the most powerful existence here other than your Lord?"
"No, our strength is only average, and our life forms are low-level. Of course, the Black Demons and Red Demons born from demonic Qi and baleful aura don't count!" The Horned Demon did not hide this.
It understood what Liu Xiaoli was thinking. It was nothing more than investigating the situation here.
However, it was confident that this woman would definitely become one of them.
Victory was in their hands, and they were confident. None of the living beings here could escape. There was no need to worry about that. What would Liu Xiaoli do after knowing their strength?
"So, putting aside strength, you have a division of life forms?" Liu Xiaoli took advantage of the opportunity.
"Of course. In the Heavenly Demon Clan, the life form determines one's status, not strength. High-level beings have absolute suppression over low-level beings. We have some transformed Heavenly Demons like us here!"
The Horned Demon pointed at the two horns above its forehead and continued, "The newly transformed clansmen don't have horns, so they have the lowest status. Then, there are Black Horns like us. Above us, there are Silver Horns, Gold Horns, and Red Horns with the highest status. Of course, Lord is an exception."
Liu Xiaoli finally understood. In this place, strength did not represent status. Only one's life form determined status. The higher the life form, the stronger one's strength would be. However, one's intelligence would definitely be higher than the lower life forms.
However, after understanding this, she was also shocked. This was only the Black Spring and not the Heavenly Demon World. There were actually so many divisions here. This meant that these Heavenly Demons had given birth to their own civilization here.
This also reflected a problem. There were a lot of demons here. Only when there were a lot of them would they have their own civilization.
"In that case, you still want to kill me. Only by killing me can you release my inner demon. However, although my obsession is very strong, the power of my inner demon is not strong. It might not succeed."
The Horned Demon shook its head and said, "No. First of all, releasing your inner demon here will definitely succeed. Second, we really don't plan to kill you. We only want to release your inner demon.
In a sense, your inner demon is also you. It's just that it's your dark side. After releasing your inner demon, it will fuse with the current you and become a new you. "
Liu Xiaoli was shocked. Devouring was devouring, and what fusion was it? It sounded so dignified. If her will and soul were to be devoured by the heart devil, it would be impossible for her to reincarnate. This was too cruel.
"According to what you said, even if my inner demon comes out, it will still be the lowest life form after transforming into a Heavenly Demon. How arrogant is my inner demon? How can it be willing to become your clansmen? Don't be delusional."
Liu Xiaoli's words were not only for the Horned Demon, but also for herself and her inner demon.
She was not afraid of death, nor was she afraid of what kind of existence her inner demon would become. It had nothing to do with her.
However, after the inner demon came out, it would devour her soul and will. This way, she would not be able to reincarnate. This was what she was afraid of.
If she could not reincarnate, she would never be able to see her beloved again. This was what she was afraid of.
"Whether you're willing or not, you'll become our clansmen sooner or later here. You can't leave. It's already very good that I can say so much to you today. I just want you to accept your other self with peace of mind."
The Horned Demon was a little cowardly. Demonic Qi surged on his body, and the longsword in his hand trembled slightly. He looked like he was going to attack if there was any disagreement.
