Guixu Sea Area.
The Demon King suddenly opened his eyes. A dazzling light burst forth from his eyes.
With a loud bang, all the surrounding ships began to shake instantly.
The other great demon kings exclaimed in surprise, "What on earth happened?"
"It came from the Demon Emperor. Could it be that the Demon Emperor has awakened?"
Almost half a year has passed. Originally, under the leadership of the Demon King, they set out together to conquer the human world. But after entering the Guixu Sea, the Demon King suddenly stopped moving, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.
This unexpected turn of events brought the entire army to a halt.
Unexpectedly, the aura of the Demon Emperor has finally reappeared, and they can conclude that the Demon Emperor has awakened.
The figures landed on the deck of the Demon Emperor's ship and said in unison, "We respectfully request Your Majesty's decree!"
The Demon King stepped out, his jet-black scales radiating an unusual light. He stood on the deck, gazing into the void, as if he could see through time and space, looking back to countless years past.
After a long pause, he muttered to himself, "Impossible... Wasn't he still attacking the Heavenly Dao Alliance just over half a year ago? How could he possibly appear more than two thousand years ago? Is it just my imagination?"
He shook his head as soon as he finished speaking: "Impossible. I saw it with my own eyes. That aura was his. It seems that he not only traveled back more than two thousand years in reverse time, but also defeated me. I don't know what method he used to acquire my causal power."
The Demon King slowly stretched his hand into the void. Others could not see it, but in his eyes, a thin thread of cause and effect from the void was already connected to his palm like an umbilical cord.
"Lin Che, is that you?"
These words, spoken as if traversing a vast expanse of time, reached Lin Che's ears in the Daqian region more than two thousand years ago in an instant.
Lin Che was stunned for a moment as he held the causal umbilical cord in his hand.
Because this was too incredible. Not only had he traversed two realms, but he had also traversed more than two thousand years of time. He was actually able to communicate with the Demon King.
This mysterious power is something Lin Che couldn't explain scientifically no matter how hard he racked his brains.
Lin Che said in a deep voice, "Demon King, it's time to settle our accounts."
The voice of the Demon King rang out: "What does the human world of more than two thousand years ago have to do with you?"
Lin Che responded, "Your past self is already dead. As long as I go back and kill you, you will be completely dead."
The Demon King was clearly frightened. The reason he had sent a clone back to the past to devour the power of the human world was to achieve immortality. Unexpectedly, he had provoked Lin Che, an incomprehensible god of death.
"Lin Che, you and I both possess the power of cause and effect. We should be of the same kind. But they have long since vanished into the river of history, so why must you fight me to the death?"
Lin Che didn't believe that the Demon King was truly cowardly; perhaps such words were a signal deliberately released by the Demon King.
Lin Che seemed to realize something, and holding the umbilical cord, he said, "You're right. To show your sincerity, you should withdraw your troops. I can't watch humanity be wiped out."
After Lin Che finished speaking, the Demon Emperor did not respond immediately.
Lin Che was also very patient. Now that he held the causal umbilical cord in his hand, he could vaguely see the appearance of the Demon King. The Demon King was standing there motionless, obviously thinking.
The Demon King suddenly said, "Very well. My Demon Clan will no longer attack the Human Clan. Since we are of the same kind, I also hope that you will no longer slaughter my Demon Clan's people."
Lin Che laughed heartily: "I am a great Confucian scholar, and I keep my word. Therefore, our two clans shall not invade each other!"
"We pledge our love to the mountains and the seas! It's our promise!"
"It's a deal!"
After a brief exchange, both parties voluntarily severed the causal umbilical cord.
The moment the umbilical cord is severed, the two parties can no longer sense each other.
Lin Che stood in the void, his mind racing: "The Demon Emperor's words are utter nonsense! He definitely won't abide by them, at least I won't. The Demon Emperor probably agreed to keep me calm first, and then he'll figure out a way to kill me. But for now, the human world should be safe for the time being. I still have some time. I need to find the first Great Gan Emperor and the cultivator of the 'Great Emperor's True Scripture'."
The key is to unravel the cause and effect surrounding Jiang Li.
Lin Che spread his arms, closed his eyes, and activated the power of cause and effect within his body, desperately trying to sense it. The lingering aura of the Demon Emperor still lingered in the world; in fact, if he wished, he could continue to converse with the Demon Emperor.
But this kind of "long-distance call" is meaningless; what is needed now is to sense other causal energies.
"In that direction!"
Lin Che suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the east direction. He then instantly disappeared from the spot.
Meanwhile.
More than two thousand years later, in the Guixu Sea.
The Demon Emperor had already devised a countermeasure. He quickly issued the order: "Send word! All cultivators, stand by where you are. Without my decree, no one is allowed to invade the human world. Next, I will personally go to the Western Heaven Spirit Mountain..."
The great demon kings under his command were all puzzled: "Your Majesty, what are you going to Mount Ling in the Western Paradise for?"
The Demon King's voice carried an indescribable solemnity:
"Find the Buddha!"
The Demon King gave a shout, and with only a hundred or so guards, he stepped onto a massive stone tablet. The tablet, like a flying machine, carried them soaring into the sky.
At this moment, the Demon King was thinking exactly what Lin Che had guessed.
The Demon King believed that Lin Che was absolutely untrustworthy. The fact that he could easily kill his past self meant that Lin Che's cultivation was terrifying enough that even the Demon King himself was not confident that he could defeat Lin Che.
In particular, Lin Che, despite his young age, has learned his unique power of cause and effect.
Why can a human interfere with other causes and effects?
Dealing with the human race and Lin Che is no longer just a matter for the Demon Clan; he believes the Buddha himself is also very interested. Moreover, he, the Demon Emperor, promised Lin Che that he would no longer invade the human world, but if it were the Demon Buddha's army that invaded, then as the Demon Emperor, he would be powerless to help.
Whew!
The enormous stone tablet pierced through the void and rushed towards an even more mysterious place.
That was a Buddhist kingdom within the world of the myriad demons, filled with beings like bodhisattvas. In fact, the Buddha himself had previously chanted scriptures and meditated in this very kingdom.
Of course, this is all on the surface. In reality, the Demon King knew that the teleportation array between the Demon Buddha World and this Buddhist Kingdom was located within this Buddhist Kingdom.
He wants to be transported to the world of demons and Buddhas, to personally visit Mount Ling, and to discuss important matters with the Buddha!
