Youyou finally understood why the world was the way it was. Hades was absolutely right; they brought this upon themselves. Whether it was those cultivators, the dragons, or other indifferent people, they were all accomplices in pushing the world to its doom.
"What about Xuanling?" You You couldn't help but ask, "Where did she go after she set up the seal?"
"How would I know?" Hades blurted out. "After we worked together to bring the world back to life, I haven't seen her since. I only heard that she fought with that Demon God kid, but I don't know how it went." He then glanced at her up and down and blurted out, "Shouldn't you know better?"
"Me?" You You was taken aback. What did that mean?
"Yeah, that Demon God kid always thrives on chaos, he's incredibly good at causing trouble, and he loves to stir up trouble for no reason." He continued to mutter, "He used to love picking fights with the Heavenly Dao, he felt uncomfortable if he didn't cause trouble for a day, like he had ADHD, I don't know what he was thinking."
"..." Is this the style of the highest leader of the Demon Realm?
"However, it has been much quieter over the years, as if it has disappeared?" He seemed to think of something, and looked him up and down, saying, "Although Xuanling's abilities are strange, even he himself can't explain them, and I can't find out his origins either, but it shouldn't be that even the Demon God lost, right? I want to ask you the same thing, what exactly happened back then?"
"Should I...know this?" She was even more confused.
"Oh, you've already forgotten..." Hades seemed to remember something at this moment, and continued, "Never mind, didn't you want to know your true identity? I'll just tell you."
Youyou was taken aback, and even Feng Rong and Yuan Qi next to her stood up.
"You're willing to tell me?!" Finally, she's willing to talk.
"Your power has already awakened more than half of itself, you'll find out sooner or later." Hades said indifferently.
"Wait a minute..." Youyou thought of something, her eyes widened. As a mortal, she had strange abilities that she couldn't explain herself. Why did this setting seem so familiar?
"You...you're not trying to say that I am Xuanling, are you?"
"Dream on!" Hades gave her a disdainful look. "How could you possibly be a Xuanling?"
“…Oh.” Youyou breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard him add another sentence.
"You are a demon!"
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Yuan Qi: "..."
The hall was silent for a long time...
Are you kidding me!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴
She's a demon goddess? Are you kidding me?
She's been working tirelessly for so long, risking her life to stop the demon realm's invasion and enhance the abilities of the three realms, all to achieve self-reliance and fearlessness. Now you're telling me, I'm a demon god!
You are the demon god, your whole family are demon gods!
————————
Youyou was devastated. This was the first time since she transmigrated that she had felt so absurd, and she couldn't accept Hades' revelations at all. Countless times, she told herself that Hades might be mistaken, that she was just an ordinary transmigrator and had absolutely no connection to demons or gods.
But the things she had always thought were happening, the details she had overlooked, began to surface one by one. They made her start to doubt herself. For example, when she encountered that demon named Mingye in the Immortal Realm, why did his full-force demonic attack have no effect on her and simply dissipate?
Why couldn't the seal of Tian Sheng Mountain stop her? She entered the Demon Realm as soon as she touched it.
Why is it that no matter how strong the heavenly might or how great the pressure, she feels nothing?
Why is the sword wall outside that demon temple exactly the same as her skill?
Why did the Demon King's Seal not choose the only demon, Gong Xi, but instead prefer to stick to her hand?
Why isn't she corrupted by demonic energy? As long as she has a thought, the demonic energy will recede.
Even more remarkably, she could use the Book of the Dead, which only Hades could wield…
All of this seems to suggest that she is a chief god like Hades, the chief god of all demons—a demon god!
She spent so much time and energy trying to stop the demons, only to find out in the end that she was the biggest demon herself!
Depend on!
I've become withdrawn...
I'm done playing, goodbye!
I don't care who it is!
“Xiao You…” Yuan Qi looked at the person who had never been so dejected, squatting in the corner trying to grow mushrooms, sighed, and gently comforted her, “Don’t overthink it, the words of Hades may not all be true.”
"What if it's true?" Youyou turned and glanced at him. "What if I really am a demon god?"
Yuan Qi's eyes darkened. He squatted down beside her, reached out and patted her head, saying, "I believe Xiao You is Xiao You. No matter how your identity changes, you will always be yourself."
“But Hades said…” Youyou felt even more conflicted, and even felt like crying, “My power has already awakened more than half of itself. When it is fully awakened, I will be able to remember everything and will become a true demon god.”
"Even so, so what?" Yuan Qi looked into her eyes and said seriously, "Xiao You, do you think that once you become powerful, you will remember your past as a demon god and then disown us? Or will you choose to forget all of this and kill me and Feng Rong, or these brothers in the sect?"
"Of course not!" Youyou immediately shook her head. She was just recalling memories; she wasn't crazy.
“So…” he chuckled softly, his expression softening further, “Xiao You is still Xiao You, what does it matter who she is?”
Youyou was stunned for a moment. Her mind, which had been in turmoil from being suddenly knocked unconscious by Hades, slowly began to clear. Right, it's just an identity, a memory, isn't it?
She was still herself. She remembered the first thing that happened, everyone in the faction, and even the events before she transmigrated—all of it remained in her mind. These were real memories, things that had actually happened.
Although she didn't know why Hades believed she was a demon, she knew very well where she came from. She remembered that world, the year she was born, her relatives and friends, the school she attended, and even the teacher in high school who picked his toes during class.
If the demon god is truly her, then she is still herself now. So why would becoming the demon god make her different?
In an instant, most of the pent-up frustration in my heart dissipated. Yes, who cares who it is? I am who I am!
To hell with demons and gods!
"Thank you, Mr. Yuan!" You You raised her head, took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her pace, sniffed, and said, "I'm fine now."
"Hmm." Yuan Qi's gaze softened even more as he gently wiped her eyes before whispering, "Those seriously injured disciples have woken up, and Feng Rong is helping them stabilize their souls. Would you like to go and see?"
"Okay!" She immediately stood up, turned around, and walked quickly outside.
But he didn't notice the person behind him, the gradually deepening look in their eyes, and the low, somber words they uttered.
"I will never let anyone hurt you again, not a single person!"
