Now that the great calamity that once covered the world has passed, the doomsday haze that once shrouded humanity seems to have vanished at this moment.
The final fate of humanity will no longer follow the terrifying path of the end times.
Above the heavens, celestial light shone brightly, and the passage to the mortal realm slowly opened, like a magnificent bridge connecting heaven and earth; within the sacred mountains, chanting Buddhist hymns resounded, and the gate to the mortal realm also slowly opened, as if a compassionate guidance from the Buddhist realm; beneath the underworld, ghostly energy permeated the air, and the path to the mortal realm once again lit up, as if the netherworld were showing a touch of favor to the human world.
As those powerful auras surged and crashed down like a raging storm, the demons clinging to life in the mortal realm scattered in panic, like frightened mice.
They either lurk in the dark corners of deep mountains and forests or hide in the depths of dark caves, trying to escape the unknown fate that is about to befall them.
Although Elder Chen and the other cultivators held a firm belief in eliminating demons and monsters, they did not choose to completely eradicate them.
They simply used magic to drive all the demons to a territory that belonged only to them.
Uncle Nine stood to the side, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.
Witnessing all this, a strong question arose in his mind: Why would someone who possesses the power to completely annihilate all these demons show mercy and leave them a way out?
Moreover, he could clearly see that some demons were filled with bloody aura, and the dense evil energy almost dyed the surrounding air blood-red. At the same time, they were also wrapped in heavy karma, as if countless wronged souls were demanding their lives.
Such heinous demons were easily released, while their own sect leader and the gods who descended to earth turned a blind eye, as if it were all perfectly normal.
This sudden turn of events threw Uncle Nine's long-held views on life, values, and the world into chaos, making it difficult for him to accept.
The head of Maoshan Sect also took notice of Uncle Nine, this chosen one.
Since the end of the great calamity, Uncle Nine received feedback from the fortune of heaven and earth, and his cultivation level rose rapidly like a rocket, reaching the Refining Void and Harmonizing Dao realm, which is the Tribulation Transcending stage.
Such a gifted and promising talent, how could the head of Maoshan Sect sit idly by and let him fall into that terrible state of inner demons?
“Feng Jiao,” the Maoshan sect leader asked slowly, a hint of concern flashing in his eyes, “Are you puzzled as to why we let all these ferocious demons go instead of completely annihilating them?”
Upon seeing this, Uncle Nine nodded in response without hesitation. He still clearly remembered the solemn scene when he first entered Maoshan. Maoshan's first commandment was deeply imprinted in his mind like a heavy hammer—good and evil are opposed and fight for life.
However, at this moment, the actions of their own patriarch and sect leader are completely contrary to this first commandment, which is simply incomprehensible.
The head of Maoshan Sect spoke again slowly, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Have you ever considered why the demons and monsters of this world exist?"
Uncle Nine frowned, pondered for a moment, and then answered, "Those creatures that lost their way and went astray became demons."
The head of Maoshan nodded slightly and continued, "Then do you know why demons have always existed in the world from ancient times to the present, and why they can never be completely eradicated?"
Uncle Nine fell silent. He had never thought about this question so deeply before: why could these demons never be completely eradicated?
At this moment, the head of Maoshan Sect finally began to explain further: "Because Heaven does not allow it."
Uncle Nine was shocked. A surge of intense emotions welled up in his heart, and his mind raced. His past experiences and knowledge flashed before his eyes like a movie.
He had pondered various possible answers alone in the dead of night countless times, his thoughts like ethereal clouds weaving and intertwining in his mind.
However, this answer at that moment was like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating the darkness in his heart and giving him an unprecedented shock.
Does Heaven forbid it?
This thought struck his soul like a hammer blow, plunging him into deep confusion.
Why would Heaven make such a decision?
Is there really some mysterious force manipulating everything behind the scenes?
A strong thirst for knowledge welled up in Uncle Nine's heart; he longed to find the answer and unravel the mystery that had lingered in his mind for so long.
The head of Maoshan Sect did not continue speaking, and his silence seemed to contain endless profound meaning.
Uncle Nine understood that some things must be thought out and comprehended by oneself, and only through one's own efforts can one truly understand the mysteries within.
He sat there quietly, his eyes deep and focused, his thoughts a jumbled mess, constantly being pulled and tangled.
He began to delve into the essence of the Way of Heaven, recalling the principles about the universe and all things that he had learned.
The way of Heaven is impartial, a belief he has always held firmly, but now, this belief is facing a severe test.
If Heaven is truly impartial, why would it turn a blind eye to these demons?
Uncle Nine couldn't help but think of the innocent lives harmed by demons, and a surge of grief and indignation welled up in his heart.
However, he quickly calmed down and realized that he could not judge right and wrong based on emotions alone.
He continued to ponder, trying to look at the problem from different angles.
Perhaps these demons are not entirely evil; their existence may have some special significance.
As Master once said, everything has its value. Even things that seem evil may play an unexpected role at some point.
As he pondered the matter more deeply, Uncle Nine's eyes grew brighter and brighter, as if a ray of light was shining in them.
He felt he was about to grasp the key, the crucial element that could unlock the age-old mystery.
He clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anticipation and excitement, as if he could see the truth waiting for him to uncover it.
Finally, he understood why Heaven did not allow demons to be completely eradicated.
Because demons need various negative emotions to cultivate, such as resentment, killing intent, malevolent energy, and bloodlust.
In the eyes of Heaven, they are like a garbage can, specifically designed to absorb the world's garbage, much like the world's cleaners.
Uncle Nine was shocked. So that's how it is. Now that you put it that way, everything makes sense.
Previously, he only looked at it from a human perspective, but from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, demons absolutely cannot be completely eliminated.
At this moment of enlightenment, dark clouds filled the sky. Uncle Nine had just realized his own state of mind and was about to transcend his tribulation and become an immortal.
