The red light in Jasmine’s hand disappeared during her long period of shock. However, in the absolute darkness of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, Jasmine’s pupils still clearly captured the outline of a pitch-black wheel.
Its body is pitch black, but perhaps its existence has transcended "darkness". Even in absolute darkness, it can still be seen clearly. It is like an open devil's eye at the bottom of an endless abyss.
Jasmine had never thought that one day she would see the most terrifying and impossible image in her memory. Almost all the fear in the memory she carried was concentrated on this image and its name.
Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations!
It was born at the beginning of the universe from the most extreme negative force in the chaos. It possesses extremely dark and evil power. It is a terrifying existence that even gods and demons would be terrified when mentioned.
Although it is listed as one of the "Xuantian Supreme Treasures", it is not a treasure, but the most terrifying existence in this Hongmeng space. Although it ranks second among the "Xuantian Supreme Treasures", it and the Zhutian Ancestral Sword are born from two polar powers at the same time. In terms of destructive power, it is no less than the Zhutian Ancestral Sword, but the power attribute of the Zhutian Ancestral Sword is the most holy, while the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations is the most evil, so it can only be ranked after the Zhutian Ancestral Sword.
The last time it appeared in the world, its power ran wild, and it released the most terrifying poison in the Hongmeng world - Eternal Tribulation, which destroyed all gods and demons and brought about the extinction and end of the era of gods and demons.
Its power and terror are simply beyond the comprehension and imagination of any living being in the world today.
After the end of the God and Demon Era, it, like the Ancestral Sword of Heaven-Slaying, never appeared again. However, in these millions of years, people have never given up on searching for the Ancestral Sword of Heaven-Slaying, in order to possess the invincible power to "slay the heavens". But no one has ever tried to find the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, because it would only bring the most terrible disaster in the world.
At this moment, this terrifying thing that had disappeared for a million years appeared clearly in front of Jasmine... No one could have imagined that in the vast chaos, it would be hidden in such a place.
Even a true god would feel extreme fear when seeing it, let alone Jasmine who only inherited a little bit of the power of a true god... And in the true god's memory that she inherited, apart from the appearance and aura characteristics of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, the rest was all cold fear.
It was as if seeing it was like seeing the lowest level of hell.
Jasmine had never been stunned for such a long time before. But after a long time, her willpower finally suppressed the huge fear that was surging wildly - because although it was the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, its aura was too weak.
It was so weak that it was far inferior to her current incomplete power aura.
Otherwise, it would not have stayed in this Moon-Slaying Demon Cave all this time.
After suppressing her fear, Jasmine’s eyes gradually regained their calm and coldness. She took one step forward… two steps… and gradually approached the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations.
As she got closer, the pressure from the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations was rapidly weakening.
“Hmph,” Jasmine raised the corners of her lips and spoke in a cold voice, as if she was mocking him: “The heaven-defying weapon that originated in the beginning of the universe and brought an end to the era of gods and demons has now fallen to such a miserable state that even a human like me can easily escape your intimidation!”
From the initial extreme shock to calmness, combined with everything that happened in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, she suddenly understood why the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord had survived from the era when gods and demons were extinct to the present day, and all the many doubts about the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord were also cleared up.
No matter how powerful the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations is, it is, after all, a weapon, not a spirit. To release its full power, it must use living beings as carriers. And ordinary weapons, even if they have extremely strong spirituality and power, are basically controlled by living beings. But the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations is too powerful in terms of level and power, and can control living beings...even demons!
The Moon-Slaughter Devil Lord was the carrier chosen by the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations—or, perhaps, the host!
Millions of years ago, the demons who were forced into a desperate situation, in a frenzy, lifted the seal of the Evil Infant's Myriad Tribulations Wheel, allowing it to reappear in the world. The Evil Infant's Myriad Tribulations Wheel, which had been sealed for too long, had accumulated endless negative energy. After being freed from the shackles, its power immediately went wild. It hijacked the Moon-Slaying Devil Lord as a carrier, releasing the power to destroy the world and the "Myriad Tribulations" that could exterminate gods and demons. However, the only sword that could contend with it, the Ancestral Sword of the Heaven-Slaying Slayer, was still missing, which eventually led to the extinction of all gods and demons.
And because the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord was the carrier controlled by the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, he naturally survived.
This is also why the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord said that he killed him personally in order to save his son, and sealed his demon soul into the Eternal Night Devil Sword - because the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord's sword was born with him, and under the destructive power of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, this was the only way to save his son's demon soul!
After slaughtering all the gods and demons, the power of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations greatly declined... and was even on the verge of exhaustion. But among the gods and demons, in addition to the Moon-Slaying Devil Lord, there was another god alive - that was the evil god who had been poisoned by the "Myriad Tribulations" poison but had not yet perished immediately.
Although the power of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations had greatly weakened, the Heretic God still could not destroy it. There was nothing in this world that could destroy the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations. As the host of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, the Heretic God also could not kill the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord. Therefore, all the Heretic God could do was to use all his remaining strength to seal the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations together with the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, hoping to annihilate the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord's existence during the long-term seal.
This is why the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord was sealed by the Heretic God for a million years, but was not killed directly by him back then. It's not that the Heretic God didn't want to, but that he couldn't!
The sealed location is the Tianxuan Continent in the Blue Pole Star, which is inconspicuous in the vast chaos!
The seal set by the evil god was not just a simple blockade, it also carried a very strong devouring force. During the million years of the seal, the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations had been suffering from the devouring of the evil god's power, further depleting its already depleted power, and even causing it to lose control of the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, making the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord no longer its host, but an independent existence.
This is why the Moon-Slaughtering Devil Lord suddenly said, "The seal of the evil god destroyed my demonic body and soul, but it also allowed me to regain my freedom."
The Moon-Slaughter Devil Lord, who was no longer the host of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, naturally lost the protection of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations and also suffered the residual devouring power of the Heretic God's seal, which eventually left his life source and soul source severely damaged, and his contract with the Moon-Slaughter Devil Sword was also broken, causing the Moon-Slaughter Devil Sword, which contained his son's demon soul, to become an independent existence.
Finally, ten thousand years ago, the power of the Heretic God's seal was exhausted, freeing the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord, and the Moon Slaughter Devil Sword. However, after enduring the erosion of the Evil God's seal for a full million years, the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord's soul was already weak and should have been completely destroyed soon. Fortunately, he was discovered by the founder of the Supreme Ocean Palace and sealed in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave. He then survived in the Supreme Ocean Palace's blockade with the help of the dark aura released by the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations and the Netherworld Udumbara Flower that it gave birth to, until he was killed by Yun Che.
The Moon-Slaying Devil Sword drifted to the Profound Sky Continent and gave rise to the Eternal Night Royal Family. Even the weak seal that remained on it was lifted at today's Devil Sword Conference. Although the devil spirit within it had not dissipated completely, it had become so weak that it was pitiful.
The Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations has been here ever since the seal was lifted, slowly releasing a very high level, yet extremely weak aura of darkness.
He once destroyed all the gods and slew the demons, but now he has become so weak that he can only stay silent in this dark and desolate place, never seeing the light of day again.
Previously, the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord’s matter was the biggest surprise and confusion in Jasmine’s heart. Now that she had seen the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, all her doubts were solved without any other factors.
Because these are the only reasons, the only explanations!
However, the reason for all of this was far more terrifying than all the possibilities that Jasmine had previously guessed... because it involved the most terrifying thing in this chaotic world.
Jasmine stopped and stood in front of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations. Her pupils reflected the dark light of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, which was as dark as the abyss. She murmured slowly, "Since the end of the Age of Gods, countless people have speculated on the whereabouts of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations. Countless people have tried to find out what the Heretic God did before he perished. I never expected that I would become the first person in this world to know the answer."
Jasmine slowly raised her hands, and a deep red light silently condensed between her palms. “The Golden Crow Spirit said that this was the first star created by the Heretic God, and it was also the place where he eventually fell. I had previously wondered why the Heretic God created this planet with his own hands, and obviously valued it so much, but the elements were so thin, and the profound energy level was so low. It turns out that the root of everything is here!”
"It is to make sure that even if you escape the seal one day, you will never have the chance to quickly recover your power in this world with low power density. The evil god really has good intentions."
"The evil god cannot destroy you, and I certainly cannot do that either. But... with my current strength, it is easy for me to seal you as you are now!"
Jasmine's face was gloomy, and the red light between her hands was as deep as thick blood: "I will release all my power, and I can seal you for at least three to four thousand years!"
“Hmm…”
The black light on the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations was swaying. Suddenly, a sharp, yet soft voice came from Jasmine's soul. The voice seemed to carry grievance, sadness, and pleading, like a baby crying helplessly.
"Please...save me..."
A childish voice, with a heart-breaking sadness, pleaded softly... Just five short words, but they were quite awkward, and combined with the overly young tone, it sounded like the sound of a baby who was just learning to speak.
Jasmine’s brows knitted together, her whole body stiffened slightly, and she immediately said with a cold face, “I never thought that the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, which is feared by gods and demons, would actually beg a weak human like me!”
"Please...save me...take me...away from here..."
The baby's voice had a deeper tone of begging and a faint cry.
“Save you?” Jasmine sneered, “Unless I’m crazy. You are the most terrifying, the most evil, the most intolerable existence in this world! Even the powerful gods and demons were slaughtered by you back then. If I took you away and let you find a chance to recover your strength, the world today would be doomed because of you! Not to mention me, even if it’s the most evil person in the world, if they knew you were the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, they would definitely spare no effort to seal you away and would never choose to bring you back to the light of day!”
“No…” The baby’s voice was filled with even deeper sorrow and tears: “I’m not that evil… I’m not… a bad kid… I just… want to leave here… It’s so dark and cold here, and it’s always so quiet…”
The sound of the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations would naturally bring to mind an image of a young baby. Its helpless and sad pleading was enough to make even the most hardened of hearts feel deep compassion. But Jasmine was not moved at all: "You don't have to try to seduce me anymore. The Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations was created at the beginning of the universe. It was derived from the most extreme negative power in the center of chaos. It symbolizes the ultimate evil power. Millions of years ago, as soon as you broke free from your shackles, you exterminated all the gods and demons and destroyed an entire era! Now you tell me that you are not a 'bad boy'? Ha, how ridiculous."
"...That's just my power attribute. Power attributes can be positive or negative, but not holy or sinful. The reason I killed them back then... was because... they locked me up... for so many years... What I fear most... is darkness and loneliness... So, I hate them... If I kill them... then no one will be able to bring me into the world of darkness and loneliness..."
Jasmine’s face showed a slight emotion… Her will had been warning herself the whole time that the sound of the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations must have hidden sin and evil temptations, but this time, the sound caused a strong stir deep in her heart.
Because the anger, fear, and grievance contained in it were so real that she couldn't sense any falsehood, and only the most genuine emotions could truly touch people's hearts. When it talked about killing all the gods and demons, it made Jasmine feel like a bullied child, angrily and willfully taking revenge on those who hurt him, made him hate and fear...
Just as these thoughts came to her mind, she was startled and quickly rejected all these thoughts from her heart and soul. She sneered and said, "You are called 'Evil Infant', so you really think I am stupid enough to think that your soul is just a baby? You are the most evil thing in the world, don't waste your efforts! I will seal you again immediately, and from now on, every thousand years, I will come here to reinforce the seal. Even if I die, before I die, I will choose someone to inherit the mission of sealing you, so that you, a sinful existence, will never see the light of day again!!"
“Hmm…”
The baby began to cry, and its cry was particularly sad and heartbreaking. It whimpered, "Why...you don't want to believe me...then...I..."
A strange black mist rose up in front of Jasmine. In the black mist, the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations turned into a strange black light and suddenly drilled into the center of Jasmine's eyebrows.
Jasmine raised her left hand, and a small, shallow black wheel mark slowly appeared on the back of her hand.
Staring at the black wheel mark on the back of her hand, Jasmine sneered disdainfully: “Do you think you are the Evil Infant’s Myriad Tribulations Wheel that slaughtered gods and devils back then? With your current strength, you dare to make me your host? If you do this, it will make it easier for me to seal you!”
With a cold smile, Jasmine was about to gather her strength and forcefully expel the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations.
"I... I didn't..." The baby responded anxiously and hurriedly: "As long as... as long as you are willing to take me away... let me leave the darkness and loneliness... I am willing... to submit to you..."
“Submit… to me?” Jasmine was slightly startled, then she said coldly, “What a joke! You are the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, and together with the Ancestral Sword of the Heaven Slaying, you are the highest level existence in the entire Chaos World! Even the gods cannot control it, so how can you possibly submit to a human!”
"As long as... you can take me to the outside world... there will be no more darkness and loneliness... from now on... you will be my master... If you are afraid of my power... then... after you become my master... you will never... need to worry... that my power will hurt you..."
“Humph, that’s just your wishful thinking. Didn’t I say I promised you?” Jasmine held her hand horizontally, and the red light that had been condensed earlier slowly floated in front of her: “You should continue and stay in the eternal darkness honestly…”
Jasmine turned her palm downwards, intending to force out the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations and then seal it forcefully. However, she suddenly stopped halfway through turning her palm, and her expression changed slightly.
After a long silence, she slowly withdrew her hand, and the red light that had been condensed for a long time and contained terrifying power dissipated. She raised her left hand and said coldly: "If you recognize me as your master, everything about you will be controlled by me from now on. I can bring you here, but I will never summon you out. Even so, are you willing?"
Jasmine's words made the baby's voice excited and joyful: "As long as...as long as I am no longer locked up in darkness and loneliness...I will definitely...listen to you..."
No one would believe that such a voice came from the most terrifying and evil Evil Infant Wheel of Myriad Tribulations in the world, but was just the most humble and pitiful begging of an infant.
Jasmine’s expression and movements froze. After a long period of difficult hesitation, she nodded very slowly and heavily, “Okay… If that’s the case, then let’s make the most cruel master-servant contract. I will be the master, and you will be the servant. Unless I take the initiative to cancel it, you will be controlled by me for eternity and you will never rebel! This is the only way! Either you accept it, or I will seal you back in!”
As the cold and merciless voice fell, a red light flashed between Jasmine’s eyebrows, and the power of the contract enveloped the Evil Infant’s Myriad Tribulations Wheel. Moreover, it was the most cruel master-servant contract in the Star God Realm.
What surprised Jasmine was that the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations did not show any hesitation or resistance, and even accepted the contract with great joy... She was as happy as a bird that had flown out of a cage.
Jasmine's pupils suddenly flashed with black light, and then the black wheel on the back of her left hand became extremely deep. After flashing several times in succession, it slowly disappeared.
“From now on, you will no longer be the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations that can slay gods and demons. Instead, you will be a weapon that belongs to me alone and is centered around me!”
Jasmine spoke these words in an extremely solemn and stern manner, but her eyes were vague.
She had never imagined that a cruel contract that even the humblest mortals could not accept could "enslave" the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations without any hindrance - a terrifying existence that even gods feared.
Seeing the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations here, and actually becoming its master... everything was like the most absurd dream.
What was even more strange was that, apart from the fearful memories and impressions from the Star God that she had when she first saw the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, what she felt was not gloom, fear, or sin, but more of pity, helplessness, and sadness...
Is all this just an illusion, or is... the Evil Infant Wheel of Myriad Tribulations really just a naive baby?
The childish ones killed all the gods and demons because they were angry, and the childish ones were willing to do anything to stay away from darkness and loneliness, even if it meant transcending the existence of gods and demons and becoming a slave of mankind.
"Yes, master." The baby responded respectfully, without any humiliation or unwillingness, only the joy of leaving darkness and loneliness.
Jasmine suddenly changed her mind because she thought: the Evil Infant Wheel of Myriad Tribulations was willing to pay such a price for freedom. If it was like this for her, it would definitely be the same for others. So, if it fell into the hands of others, it would be impossible to predict what kind of consequences it would cause. And that was the Evil Infant Wheel of Myriad Tribulations. Once its power was awakened, it would be a huge disaster that was unimaginable and uncontrollable.
And if it really wants to submit, then, if it submits to her and is controlled by her, then there is no need to worry about it falling into the hands of a foolish or ill-intentioned person one day. It can also make it never appear in the world again.
Jasmine took a deep breath and calmed herself down: “Remember what I said before. You can follow me to see the outside world and you will never be alone again. But I will never summon you out! You must know that if one day the world knows that I am the master of the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, then I will immediately become the enemy of the entire Primal Chaos World!”
"Yes, I will always listen to my master." The voice was tender and sharp, like a well-behaved child.
"Okay, then tell me now, what or what method can allow your power to reawaken?" Jasmine asked coldly. She asked this not because she wanted to try to restore the power of the Evil Infant's Myriad Tribulations Wheel. On the contrary, she wanted to avoid all possibilities!
"I only belong to the master now, as long as the master can influence my power. The master's anger, resentment, murderous intent, blood, hatred, jealousy, guilt... these negative emotions will make me grow. In particular, if the master's negative emotions suddenly become strong to a certain critical point, it is possible to reawaken my power."
The Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations answered without reservation.
Jasmine felt relieved, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "That's a pity, your power will never be awakened again."
"Now, I will take you away from here as you wish. From now on, if you disobey me, I will immediately seal you back into darkness and loneliness!" Jasmine said sternly. But she also knew that with the cruelest master-servant contract in place, the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations could not disobey even if it wanted to.
