The Divine Path was beyond the Heavenly Dao and was as glorious as the heavens and earth. It was not bound by the cycle of reincarnation and had an endless lifespan. It was a supreme realm that all the Emperors of the continent dreamed of.
Who did not desire to have an endless lifespan?
And in order to block the passage between the continent and other planes, the fourteen great gods of the Primordial Spirit sacrificed their divine power and gave up their eternal lifespan to help the dragon seal the continent. The Seven Thrones of the Demon World and all the creatures of the world died in battle. From then on, there were no more Divine Steps in the world, and it was reduced to the Divine Wilderness Continent that was abandoned by the gods.
This was the view of the world. In fact, the gods and demon kings that protected the Divine Wilderness all died for the sake of the common people. This was such a broad mind and spirit. The peace of the continent was not easy to come by.
Qin Hao felt deep admiration after hearing this. He remembered that in the Divine Palace, Tian Quan had said that if one day, would he be willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the common people?
At that time, Qin Hao's first thought was no.
He cared about the people around him. What did the common people have to do with him?
However, the ancient gods did it. Even the Seven Great Demon Gods of the Demon World were willing to give up immortality for the sake of the common people.
When one reached the end of cultivation, would there be no more desires?
So, was cultivation for immortality or for the common people?
Qin Hao formed a knot in his heart. However, he was still far from the Divine Path and did not need to think about it at the moment. But after listening to the story of the Demon God and the foreign experts, the sadness in his heart became heavier.
There was no action in the world without a reason. The people from the outer realms had crossed planes to come here, and the strongest among them also had the power of the Divine Path. With such terrifying power, why didn't they fight the gods of Yuan Ling to the death?
Did they come here purely to invade?
Perhaps, not necessarily.
Purely for the sake of invading, the price was too heavy.
Qin Hao felt that it might be related to other matters.
"I, the Six Great Demon Gods, and the fourteen great gods of the human race have fought for more than thirteen thousand years of peace for the continent. But the peace will eventually be broken. The Divine Path will reappear on the continent and the seal will be dissolved. At that time, we might once again face the foreign experts. Are you ready to accept your mission?"
The Demon Shadow's tone became solemn.
"Mission?
I don't understand. "
Qin Hao muttered in his heart. It couldn't be that the fiendgod wanted to pass down the Divine Dao profundity to him, right?
Wait a minute, Qin Hao possessed a type of Divine Dao. He did not come to the Dark Abyss to inherit the position of Demon God, but only to retrieve the Stalk of No Return.
"There's not much time left. My remnant consciousness is very weak. Since I've been awakened by you, and your cultivation is too weak, your foundation is the best among all of us. You are the most suitable to inherit my great power. Come, take on the mission. For the Divine Wilderness, for all living beings, for the future …" The Demon God's body shone with a terrifying demonic light. A powerful demonic power enveloped Qin Hao's body.
Qin Hao was shocked and said, "Demonic God, don't be anxious. I'm not ready yet. Your successor has been chosen."
"Someone else? You mean him?"
The devil god didn't force Qin Hao. With a wave of his hand, devil light flashed and Zhou Wudao appeared from the chaos. His eyes were closed and he seemed to have fallen into a deep slumber.
"Yes, yes, yes, he is the successor that you have been waiting for for ten thousand years. The perfect successor."
Qin Hao said and wiped the sweat off his forehead. For all living beings?
Forget it, such a great mission should be taken on by Zhou Wudao.
"Nonsense, this person's foundation is too weak. His cultivation is not even as good as yours."
The Demon God said angrily, obviously looking down on Zhou Wudao's Sovereign spirit.
"Senior Demon God, my brother's foundation may be a little weak, but he has a good character and cares for the world. He will not let you down.
As for me, you see, I have divine power. "
In order not to be forced by the other party, Qin Hao could only summon the Great Void Cauldron. At this time, the demonic power that the Demon God had shrouded him with had been removed. The Art of Endless Samsara could operate freely. As he communicated with the implement spirit, the Divine Path's power of law spread out. Everywhere it passed, the chaos was torn apart.
When the demonic shadow saw this scene, he was stunned. It really was the power of law, but it was a pseudo law. After all, Qin Hao's realm had not broken through the Emperor realm. Even so, the demonic shadow was still shocked. His scarlet eyes stared straight at the Great Void Cauldron. The divine weapon resonated with Qin Hao and released the power of law that he was familiar with.
"No wonder you look down on my power. It turns out that you have inherited one of his Dragon God's powers."
The demonic shadow said.
"Who is this' he 'that senior is talking about?"
Qin Hao asked.
"The First Generation Human Dragon, a tyrannical fellow who single-handedly fought against the three Overgods of the outer realm. The continent was also sealed by him. As for the cauldron in your hand, it was a divine item created by the Human Dragon to control his killing nature while studying the Dao of Pills. Speaking of which, it's the worst treasure he had."
The demonic shadow said. This sentence made Qin Hao panic. It was actually the worst treasure?
With this cauldron, he had almost swept away thousands of monsters of his generation in this life, but it turned out to be the worst divine item in the demonic shadow's possession.
His heart ached.
"I have another divine item. Senior, please take a look at it."
Qin Hao stretched out his left hand. As the light of flames appeared, an ordinary fiery red maple leaf appeared. Suddenly, in the chaotic space, a strange power spread, and endless maple leaves began to fall.
At this moment, the demonic shadow's imposing body trembled obviously, as if he was affected by the power of the Divine Path contained in the maple leaf. But soon, he calmed down and said, "For more than ten thousand years, my consciousness is too weak. I can't believe it can even affect this trash level divine item."
"Trash level?"
Qin Hao's expression was extremely ugly.
"This item has just been born, and its weapon spirit is too weak. When I was alive, I could destroy it with a single thought," the demonic shadow said proudly.
He was the strongest of the seven Sovereigns of the Demon World. He didn't care about the other six at all.
"Senior, do you know who this item belongs to?"
Qin Hao asked.
"Chi Meng of the Divine Weapon Sect," the demonic shadow replied.
He was one of the fourteen deities of the human race, but his combat power was the weakest.
However, master craftsmen were not good at battling. Their forte lay in their magic treasures. Although they said that Qin Hao's maple leaf was trash, the Dao of the maple leaf was actually very special. It was different from all the divine treasures that Chi Meng had made before. Perhaps, the true power of the maple leaf could only be seen after the item spirit grew up.
"Chi Meng."
Qin Hao muttered the name silently. He would remember this favor.
"You have two divine items, and your nomological aura contains the power of the human dragon. According to the rules, I can't give you the power of the Demonic Dao."
The demonic shadow seemed to be in a difficult position as he looked at Zhou Wudao. Could it be that he, the number one Sovereign of the Demon World, was really going to choose this trash as his successor?
Could he support the Demon World, withstand the future changes of the continent, and resist the invaders?
The demonic shadow's heart was filled with worry. If he knew this would happen, he would have directly transferred the girl who entered the Demon Eye Throne to this place and let that girl inherit his power. In comparison, apart from Qin Hao, Qingzhi Han's bloodline and talent were the most outstanding.
However, it was too late now. It seemed like the demonic eye's will had already been merged with her.
"Senior, there's a good saying. It's better to have something than nothing. Moreover, the Taotie monarch soul isn't that weak, right?"
Qin Hao chuckled.
"What do you know?"
The demonic shadow replied unhappily. He took in a deep breath and sighed, "Forget it, let's choose him. It's better to have something than nothing. However, I'm really worried about leaving the Demon World in his hands."
