I Really Am Not The Lord of Demon Chapter 596 - Comprehension

Chapter 596: Comprehension

Ling Ping’an opened his eyes and was still leaning against the chair at the counter.

The news was still playing on the television.

“The Grand Secretariat of the cabinet-designate, Yan An, entered the palace at 6p.m. today and received His Majesty’s conferment and the Grand Secretariat’s seal…”

“Other than the new cabinet minister, there are also the new members of the Blackguard’s Joint Security Council…”

Ling Ping’an lowered his eyes slightly. “The Blackguard have also stepped forward!?”

“That’s true!” He immediately laughed. “It’s time they faced the world outright!”

It was impossible to hide the existence of transcendent beings.

The Kunlun Mountains continued to expand.

The fall of the sacred Mount Dongting was also dubbed the revival of the Dreamcloud Lake.

The Earth’s ma.s.s would more than double in the future!

This was to accomodate him.

He was growing every day.

This fragile world had to adapt to his growth.

Until he chose to leave this world.

As the Earth’s ma.s.s increased, it would gradually enter an abstract state.

In this state, most of the laws of physics in the current universe were still valid.

But at the same time, the Earth itself would gradually develop extraordinarily.

The hemispherical dome cosmology was about to begin.

This was the knowledge that Ling Ping’an naturally knew.

He narrowed his eyes and recalled his earlier meeting with the Supreme Moral Celestial Venerable.

A ball of light flashed in his palm.

This ball of light contained the enlightenment of that Venerable.

He looked at the ball and absorbed the knowledge within.

He blinked his eyes.

“As expected of an important figure who has already occupied the source of time and glimpsed the end of time. He’s only one step away from being on par with the ‘Me’ from the past!” He muttered to himself.

The path that the Supreme Moral Celestial Venerable took was completely different from the one ‘he’ had taken as a monster.

After absorbing the insights within the ball of light, Ling Ping’an tossed it and threw it onto the gla.s.s door at the entrance of the bookstore.

An evil eye quietly appeared and caught the light ball.

It was the one who had rushed back from the cage of a s.p.a.ce-time fragment.

“You and Little Black should go through this together!”

“Maybe it will be beneficial to the both of you too!”

Tentacles at the edge of the evil eye caught the light ball and dragged it into the depths of his body.

It once again added a bit more color to the radiance of all living things!

The evil eye gradually faded away while Ling Pingan’s eyes turned in their sockets.

“Comprehending the Great Dao of the Grand Supreme is equivalent to opening a new door for me!”

The Great Dao of the Grand Supreme was the Righteous Great Dao of all worlds.

The projection to all worlds imperceptibly influenced s.p.a.ce-time.

As for the the monster part of ‘him’, it was very simple and crude.

Projection? No need for that.

Once he came to a certain world, s.p.a.ce or time, even if only a drop of flesh and blood fell into it…

It would also gradually follow the river of time, going against the flow.

It would first occupy the source, then his slaves and soldiers would swarm in.

Under his gaze, the one who occupied the source of time…

Once any world or universe was infected by him, it would be difficult to escape the end of the world.

Chaos, distortion, madness, death, despair would be everywhere.

Eventually, the world or universe would inevitably reach its final level of decay and collapse.

When that day arrived, he would wake up.

And digest everything.

Then, he would fall into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, the digested world would become one idea after another, free to evolve again.

However, at this time, everything in this world would have already been tampered with and distorted.

The source and destination would be determined by him.

In his dream, his behavior would be similar to a cow’s rumination.

He would spit out what he had eaten and consume it again, so that he could completely digest it.

Thus, this world in his dream would be a world of despair, pain, and distortion from the very beginning.

Strange things would be rampant, and terror would be everywhere. Ill-omens would fill all of time.

And just like that, it would repeat itself.

One universe after another would fall, and one world after another would be digested.

Finally, it would engulf these universes and worlds.

‘He’ would arrive at the other side of time and s.p.a.ce, occupying the starting and ending points of countless timelines. In the end, he would rely on this strength to transcend time and s.p.a.ce.

However, when all of these were happening, he would be muddleheaded and feel nothing most of the time.

Only after he transcended would he have a certain ‘sense of self’ when he woke up.

But, the Supreme Moral Celestial Venerable was different.

His path was to have ‘Kindness akin to water, for water benefits all but does not compete’.

It was symbiosis, but also common development.

His light and shadow illuminated the myriad worlds.

He pa.s.sed down morality in s.p.a.ce-time after s.p.a.ce-time, and left his shadow in world after world.

He’d sit and watch them grow from ignorance to civilization, from civilization to prosperity.

And then all the weapons would rise and calamities would spread.

Or they would gain prosperity and flourish.

Or they would become quiet and survive alone.

He didn’t care.

He would just be experiencing the understanding of those s.p.a.ce-time and worlds…

Refining the mysteries of s.p.a.ce-time and the true meaning of all things in the universe.

Finally, the wisdom of myriad worlds and the powers of countless generations would be added to his body.

The route he took was like the moon on Earth.

The people today have never see the ancient moon, but this moon once shone on the ancient people!

Thinking about this, Ling Ping’an felt that he had benefited greatly.

“This path might be more suitable than the ‘practice’ that my va.s.sals had prepared for me!” He thought.

The va.s.sals and servants around him had prepared many practice items for him all these while.

However, they had forgotten.

That this was the practice for a ‘monster’.

It was designed with ‘monsters’ in mind.

It wasn’t suitable for the him now.

Because if he continued to go on like this, he would eventually become the same old him.

The chaos that fed on all worlds.

“Of course!” Ling Ping’an thought at the same time, “The path of the Grand Supreme isn’t suitable for me either!”

The path of the Grand Supreme had its own course.

Just like what the Supreme himself had said, the path of others was ultimately their own.

One could refer to it, but he could not copy it.

Those who learn from me will live, and those like me will die.

That’s all!

Therefore, he had to forge a new path.

A path that was suitable for a half-human, half-monster like him.

A path that could reconcile his humanity and the monster part of him.

Moreover…

He could not lose his strength and drop his realm because of this. This was very important.

Just by looking at the current situation, he had only become what he was now…

And there were already people who had betrayed him.

If he dropped his realm and lost his powers…

The traitors would most likely be like carps crossing the river!

After all…

Those monsters were naturally chaotic lunatics.

It wouldn’t be surprising for lunatics to do anything.

Now, the reason why these lunatics were obedient was simply because life and death all hinged on one’s thoughts.

The so-called Outer G.o.ds…

Apart from those that were born on their own.

Everything created by him as a monster was, to a certain extent, food sc.r.a.ps that he as the monster spat out!

“I still need more references!” Ling Ping’an said in a low voice.

He already understood that the Journey to the West was an excellent place to start.

Through the immortal behind the Journey to the West…

He could get more references and answers!

Footsteps came from upstairs.

Ling Ping’an didn’t need to look to know that it was his aunt and Chu Weiwei who had come downstairs.

He smiled and put down the pet in his arms.

Then, he turned his head to look at the stairs.

And so, he saw his aunt’s almost perfectly-proportioned body walking down.

A pair of jade-like legs gently stepped on the stairs.

The stairs made a slight creaking sound as she stepped on them in her high heels.

“Aunt’s digesting powress has increased by one point!” Ling Ping’an sighed. “It seems that other than looking for me, the Supreme has definitely sent someone to contact Aunt in secret!”

He was not surprised.

The Grand Supreme was like this.

Have kindness akin to water, for water benefits all but does not compete

Therefore, this immortal would always think of ways to leave behind good karma, hidden hands of fate, and p.a.w.n pieces.

“Luckily…” Ling Ping’an thought, “I’m not bad either!”

In the Southern Song era, Xu Xuan, whom he had appeared as, had simply let go of such restrictions and started to build fervently after understanding the att.i.tude of the immortals in that world.

The modern knowledge from Earth would be constantly s.h.i.+fted over the next few years.

At the same time, he also moved some knowledge from other worlds over.

This was his good karma.

It was also his hidden hand of fate.

Infusing s.p.a.ce-time!

This was his old profession.

Even now, the past was trapped in chaos and the future was unknown.

Even though he was just a newborn baby…

But, the ability to infuse s.p.a.ce-time was an innate skill he possessed.

The original core of chaos did not require any change in thought.

His existence was infecting s.p.a.ce and time.

The only difference was that the current him was human.

He would not bring any malice.

But…

He always kept his trump card to flip the table…

Because life and death all hinged on one’s thoughts.

Apart from that, the s.p.a.ce and time world that he had opened to the Supreme was also extremely interesting!

“The Grand Supreme should be satisfied!” He said.

At this moment, his aunt had already walked down the stairs.

“Ping’an!” She said in a good mood, “It’s almost the new year. How about we go and buy some New Year Goods?”

Ling Ping’an smiled, “Sure!”

His comprehension of the Grand Supreme Dao had also allowed him to understand a key point.

‘That ‘his’ perseverance held more weight than anything else, and was more important than other any thing.

The Supreme Dao had always adhered to the principle of the ‘self’ in the projection of the myriad worlds.

Although the projections of the heavens were all different…

They retained the basic characteristics of the Supreme Dao and followed the Supreme Dao’s principles.

Therefore, Ling Ping’an knew.

He was the same!

Human nature must be adhered to!

He could not forget the past him.

That bookstore owner, that friendly and kind Ling Ping’an.

Therefore, anyone or anything that could deepen these connections and ties was of the utmost importance.

It even surpa.s.sed everything!

…

In the infinite s.p.a.ce-time.

The old Daoist riding on the green bull walked slowly through the cracks created by the birth and death of the universe.

The Tai Chi diagram above his head separated the obscurity of chaos and illuminated the fog in front of him.

And the guidepost in his hand was his position in this endless, unknown world.

It allowed him to always know his direction and the way back.

He did not know how long he had walked and how much time had pa.s.sed.

But for an immortal like the Grand Supreme…

Ten thousand years would pa.s.s like the snap of his fingers, and ten thousand years would pa.s.s with a snap of his fingers.

As long as it was the time and s.p.a.ce where he had existed, he was everywhere and everywhere.

Therefore, time was no longer important to such an existence.

Even though another being would have walked on a certain path for a million years…

To other existences, it might just be a snap of the fingers.

Finally…

He arrived in front of the magnificent and wonderful universe.

“Almighty Heavenly Supreme!” Gazing at the chaotic, distorted, and desperate universe, the Grand Supreme cupped his fists and said, “All living beings in this world are immersed in death and despair, not knowing how to be at peace, not knowing the true meaning of morality!”

“It’s my turn to preach the Great Dao here!”

With that, the Grand Supreme cupped his fists and was about to ride the green bull to cross the universe barrier and enter it.

Just as he was about to step into this world…

In the depths of the gray chaos, four long swords surrounded by endless light and harboring auras of destruction and slaughter flew over.

A formation map fell down and kept all directions fixed in place.

A daoist figure appeared from among the sword’s light.

“Almighty Heavenly Supreme!” The daoist cupped his fists and said, “I was wondering why Junior brother borrowed the Pangu Flag from Senior Yuans.h.i.+ to confuse the heavenly secrets and hide their tracks!”

“So there was actually such a good thing!”

“Junior brother, please give me a share of the coordinates of this world!”

The Grand Supreme watched and laughed.

He took out a share of the coordinates and threw it at the sword light.

The daoist received the coordinates and cupped his fists. “Thank you, Junior brother!”

“Junior brother, you go first. I’ll be there in a moment!”

The Grand Supreme nodded. He knew that his senior was only relying on his innate karmic connection with him to use the four celestial eradication swords to pursue karma and follow the flow.

What had appeared here was only a strand of the Sage’s sword intent.

However…

This was part of the Grand Supreme’s plan.

Karma was a matter of cause and effect.

Although the Chaos Distortion Saint had reached perfection and transcended the other sh.o.r.e, he still placed great importance on this path.

The Immortal of the South Pole had given him a peach as a gift, so he had to guide karma and time and help them reach the other sh.o.r.e.

Now, his senior had taken over that person’s coordinates.

Once karma was done, there would be ties.

Perhaps in the future, this would be a weakness!

The Grand Supreme rode his green bull with a smile and pa.s.sed through the barrier of the universe.

His entire figure was like water, soaking in it.

A moment later, there was a little more light in the universe.

This light was obscure and hard to detect.

However, it illuminated the galaxy and also lit up the dim planets.
