"Your Majesty, you are unaware that Lord Demon Eye's power depends on the fear of his opponent."
"The more afraid the opponent is of him, the stronger his aura and strength become. However, when facing someone like Taotie who is fearless, Lord Demon Eye can only exert his original strength."
"However, Lord Demon Eye has one more thing: he can possess people."
"His possession is different from ordinary ghost possession. Instead, it is like a suit of armor, attaching itself to other people, or even acting in their place."
After hearing Shi Jiu's explanation, I finally understood how terrifying this Demon Eye was.
With his abilities, he could turn an ordinary person into a top expert, and make the strong even stronger.
I couldn't help but make up my mind.
"Demon Eye, I'm getting curious about your abilities."
"Could you show me?"
The demonic energy around the Demon Eye became dissipated, and the ethereal shadows became even more illusory.
Shi Jiu called out from the side, "Your Majesty, Lord Demon Eye may need to borrow Lord Wu Shi's body for a while. Don't worry, it won't affect Lord Wu Shi."
Wu Shi nodded, perhaps also wanting to see just how powerful Demon Eye really was.
The next moment, a chilling yet intensely hot demonic energy enveloped Wu Shi, as if he were wearing a large garment.
"Your Majesty, this is what is known as possession!"
I could clearly see the demonic energy surrounding Wu Shi, which was exactly the same as the aura on my body.
"Honey, how are you feeling?"
I'd like to confirm Wu Shi's current condition.
Wu Shi looked incredulous: "This is really amazing. I don't have much power in my body, but I feel that my aura is terrifying."
"Moreover, the vital energy within my body does not reject this power. So this is demonic energy?"
"It's not quite what I imagined. I thought the demonic energy would be extremely violent, but I didn't expect it to be so gentle."
Shi Jiu explained from the side, "Lord Wu Shi, the so-called demonic energy is not evil energy, but simply because this power comes from the demon realm."
"It's like another world, equivalent to the human world. You've probably heard of the Asura Realm, right? The Demon Realm is like that too."
"The difference between good and evil is merely a matter of a single thought."
"Some people are kind their whole lives, but in a fit of anger, they slaughter their enemies' entire families, not even sparing children. Who can say whether they are good or evil?"
I understand what Shi Jiu is saying. He's afraid that Wu Shi will think that demonic energy is heretical and evil, which will create a distance between us.
Actually, I'm not worried about these things because I trust Wu Shi.
"Demon Eye, when necessary, I hope you will protect Wu Shi. I don't want him to get hurt for me again."
I'm really afraid that what happened that day will happen again. Although I'm incredibly strong now, there are still times when I'm powerless.
Wu Shi walked to my side, reached out and stroked my hair gently.
"It's alright. The Heaven and Earth Church no longer exists, so we have a period of peace. You don't need to make yourself so tired."
I shook my head: "Although I know you want to comfort me, you should know better than I do that the balance of yin and yang in this world will last forever."
"The disappearance of one Heaven and Earth Church will only lead to the rise of another. We cannot eradicate evil from the world."
"So I want to be willful just this once..."
Wu Shi patted my head: "No matter what you do, I will support you unconditionally."
Demon Eyes' booming voice rang out: "Ah! How dare you! How dare a mere mortal touch our Queen's head!"
My face darkened immediately after hearing that: "Demon Eye, shut up!"
Mo Tong was startled by me and didn't dare to say anything more.
"I want to finish my studies and use these two years to build a team."
What do you think?
Wu Shi thought about it seriously for a moment, then stroked his chin and said:
"After all, that's your regret, and it's the result of your more than 20 years of hard work. You shouldn't let it all go to waste at the crucial moment."
"If you want to build a team, you need to consider the team's starting point and who you need to recruit?"
I've thought about these issues too. After all, my seniority in Taoism is too shallow, and it's impossible for me to recruit strong individuals.
To defeat the Taotie, the most important factors are strength and manpower; neither can be lacking.
Then we can only look for some unconventional people.
This matter will be temporarily put on hold...
Two years later...
Congratulations on your successful graduation!
Wu Shi was waiting in his car at the school gate, and I was stunned at that moment.
"Unbeknownst to me, two years have passed, and I have successfully graduated from Shanghai University."
During the two years, very few paranormal events occurred, which is most likely related to the disappearance of the Heaven and Earth Church.
However, for some reason, I always have a feeling of unease in my heart, and this feeling has become stronger and stronger recently.
We got into Wu Shi's car and returned to the Taoist temple. It had been renovated and we had been there a few times before, but because of school, we had less and less time to come here.
"Xiao Xi is here. I have something to tell you."
When my master saw me enter, he quickly beckoned me over.
I put down my backpack and sat down at the familiar stone table, but for some reason I felt a little empty.
Two years ago, I sat here, facing a mission at any moment, my life hanging in the balance.
Nowadays, paranormal events have decreased, and Taoist priests like us have returned to normal life.
This peace was built on the sacrifice of countless lives; Taoism suffered heavy losses in just a few major wars.
