Chapter 1485: Half a Beat
Lu Yun cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
The young man smiled, stood up and returned the greeting, while making a gesture of invitation.
Lu Yun lifted up his skirt and walked into the pavilion.
The two sat opposite each other.
"I wonder why the Demon King has come here?" the young man asked in a low voice.
"The great catastrophe of ten thousand years has begun. I didn't expect that you are so elegant at such a young age." Lu Yun said.
The young man smiled and said, "This catastrophe that will last for ten thousand years cannot be controlled by human power. Instead of thinking about how to avoid it all day, it is better to let nature take its course."
Lu Yun clapped his hands and said loudly, "What a great way to let nature take its course. Haha, but as the Demon King, I can't be as carefree as you."
"That depends on how the Demon King views the words life and death." The young man still had a smile on his face and said, "People often think that those of us who practice cultivation can live forever, but they don't know how much influence external factors have on us."
The young man stood up, put his hands behind his back, and paced slowly in the pavilion.
"If you are a cultivator without any respect for nature, you will be eliminated by nature. This is a fact that no one can change."
"Having said that, however, when billions of lives are waiting for you to save them, you will feel that you have a great responsibility, but you can't do anything about it. This is a tragedy," Lu Yun sighed.
“My Lord Demon King, you are just too persistent and take matters outside of yourself too seriously.” The young man advised.
"Yes, perhaps, in the eyes of those in power, we are all ants. Don't we have the same mentality when we look at ordinary people? But I can't just ignore it. There are so many creatures, all of them are living flesh and blood!" Lu Yun said seriously.
"Master Demon King, please look."
The young man stretched out his right hand. In his palm, a small seedling was growing up and then sprouting leaves, one, two...
Then it blooms, falls, and bears fruit...
withered.
The wind and snow passed, and everything disappeared like smoke.
"Dust returns to dust, ashes returns to ashes. Immortals will die, and gods are no exception." The young man looked at the heavy snow outside the pavilion and said, "Even the way of heaven will change one day."
"Your words seem to have enlightened me, but it also seems like you said nothing." Lu Yun spread his hands.
"Master Demon King, take this heavy snow, it comes from the sky and goes away from the ground, over and over again, day after day, year after year. It seems endless, but in fact it brings life and death in an instant."
"I don't understand what you said. I just know that people live for only a short time, and plants and trees wither in autumn. Once they are gone, they are gone forever. Even if they reappear, they will not be the same as before, and the taste will also be different."
"Yes, Lord Demon King's words are very insightful, but so what? Can you change the snow? Or can you change the grass and trees, or the fate of those living beings?"
"As a human being, you will live a life of mediocrity."
"Those who work for things should make the best use of them in their lifetime."
"To be an immortal, one must strive for immortality in this lifetime."
"Those who are gods covet the way of heaven all their lives."
"And those who follow the Way of Heaven should bring blessings to all living beings in the heavens and the worlds in their lifetime."
After Lu Yun finished speaking, he stood up and left.
"Lord Demon King, won't you sit for a while?" The young man tried to persuade him to stay.
"Different road non-phase plan!"
Outside the pavilion, the snow was still heavy, but the sound of the piano was no longer heard. More than ten feet away, it passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Yun bought the Water Ripple Portal and never looked back.
"Humph, why are you pretending to be noble? Why are you pretending to be profound? You are just a cowardly villain who only thinks about yourself and doesn't care about others!"
After leaving the territory of Tiandao Sect, Lu Yun started cursing.
No wonder, Lu Yun is a man who values friendship and loyalty. He is asked to give up the safety of those around him in exchange for the continuation of his own life.
He can't do this.
Tailor Wu returns.
Standing respectfully in front of Lu Yun.
"Master Demon King, the demons haven't made any unusual moves. Why do you want to kill them all? You should know that doing so will bring punishment from the gods."
"Don't kill them over there. Bring the Dawn Army back and garrison the demon tribe."
There was disappointment in Lu Yun's eyes. He just wanted to be alone and not care about these troubles anymore.
But he couldn't do that either.
The sisters need him, the demon clan needs him, and the entire spirit world needs him.
Suddenly, he came to his senses.
"Good boy, I was almost fooled by you!"
Lu Yun hurriedly sacrificed twelve golden beads, which appeared in front of him in an indescribable formation.
He pointed his finger casually, and one of the golden beads suddenly shone brightly.
He released traces of royal energy, which wrapped the golden bead.
"Damn it, I didn't expect that I would be taught a lesson by a young boy. It's really infuriating."
I wanted to go back and argue with that young man, but then I thought better of it.
"How can it be easy for me to break free of the shackles by myself?"
The more Lu Yun thought about it, the more he regretted it, to the point that he was too embarrassed to admit that he was a cultivator.
"Hey, it seems that my cultivation is still not enough. Even if I go to the upper realm, I will just be cannon fodder." Lu Yun shook his head repeatedly: "Why is my reaction so slow?"
Xiaoha suddenly appeared in front of Lu Yun, still looking fat.
Lu Yun was not surprised or expectant about his arrival. Instead, he greeted him quietly.
"How did you come?"
"Because it's time for me to show up." Xiao He smiled and said, "I said before that everything I did was guided by the Heavenly Book, and the person who wrote the Heavenly Book should be you."
"Me? Why do you think so?"
"Don't you have the Heavenly Questioning Pen in your hand? That is the pen used to write the Heavenly Book. No one else can leave their calligraphy on the Heavenly Book, even if they have the Heavenly Questioning Pen."
"Okay, I admit that your words scared me." Lu Yun smiled.
The little clam also laughed.
"I don't have much time, so I'll make it short." Xiaoha said calmly, "It won't be long before Xuanyuan Wuming will launch a massive attack on the Eastern Spirit Realm. You must be prepared. This is only the beginning of a great catastrophe that will last for ten thousand years."
"Yes, I understand this." Lu Yun nodded.
"In the second step, half of your demon race will disappear. You must be mentally prepared."
"So many? How is this possible?"
The little clam shook his head.
"These are the words that just appeared in the Heavenly Book. Or, in other words, these are all written by you, and I am just reading them out to you."
"According to what you said, I wrote these things, so is it necessary for you to make a special trip and tell me these things in person?" Lu Yun asked back.
Xiaoha scratched his head awkwardly, and then his body gradually faded and finally disappeared.
Lu Yun was in a heavy mood because Xiao He had just said that half of the demon tribe would disappear in the second stage of the catastrophe.
This will be the heaviest blow to the demon race.
But this result was something he could not accept.
The demon race, after going through so much, now finally has a chance to catch their breath and recuperate.
But the situation that had just been created was about to be destroyed.
"My fate is determined by myself, not by God. Bullshit!"
