Chisha is feeling a little sad now.
All the demons died, which was a disaster for the demons, but Tang Xiaobao didn't kill him alone. Of course it wasn't because he was unkillable, nor was it because Tang Xiaobao had a change of heart and showed mercy. He was definitely not a merciful person, at least not towards the demons.
But he saved Chisha's life.
Obviously, he had something to ask.
What Chisha least wants to do now is to answer Tang Xiaobao's question.
He also knew that no matter whether he answered or not, he would die in the end.
So, he decided to fight to the end and say nothing.
But sometimes he has no choice whether to say it or not.
Tang Xiaobao looked at him and said, "I know that the Demon Lord has given you great fear, but you don't know me. Perhaps the fear I gave you is many times greater than his. Putting that aside, whether it's the demon clan, the immortal clan, the monster clan, or the Buddhist world, what do you think is most important to us?"
He did not threaten Chisha, but appeared extremely calm, as if he was having a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Chisha was already prepared to be tortured, but now he was stunned.
There was a magic in Tang Xiaobao's tone that made him think involuntarily.
Yes, what is the most important thing?
Soon, he had the answer.
"You mean to say that being alive is the most important thing?"
Chisha said: "But, you know, sometimes living is more painful than dying."
"But being alive means hope. For you demons, life is inherently long. As long as you want to live, you can live a very long time. Time is fair. Perhaps, in the future, the Three Realms will undergo some changes. In my opinion, the demons and immortals can coexist. Why must you fight to the death?"
Chisha frowned and thought for a while before answering: "I finally know who you are. You are Tang Xiaobao."
Tang Xiaobao agreed and didn't say anything.
Chisha smiled bitterly and said, "The Demon Lord regards you as his greatest enemy and says that you are the one most likely to unify the three realms. I didn't believe it at first, but now I really do. However, our greatest goal is to break the seal and allow our ancestors to be reborn from the distant ancient battlefield. That is the hope of our demon clan."
"You're wrong. Even if they come out, what can they do? At most, they'll fight a war with the Immortal Realm and the Buddhist Realm, just like countless thousands of years ago. You should know that even if the demons are immortal, they will never be a match for the alliance of the Immortal Realm and the Buddhist Realm. In the end, they will still be sealed away, and many innocent people will die. So, I can't let them out. It's not because I'm afraid of what they might do, but because I don't want more people to die."
"What you said is similar to what the Buddhist world said."
Chisha sneered.
Tang Xiaobao frowned, as if displeased: "Are you talking about that old bald donkey of the Buddha?"
"How dare you call him that?"
Chisha was ashamed.
"Why not?" Tang Xiaobao curled his lips. "In my opinion, he and the Jade Emperor are the same kind of people. They're treacherous, that's all, but they like to put on a sanctimonious front. One day, I'll go to the Buddhist world and turn it upside down. The same goes for the Immortal world. I don't like them, not at all. If I really had to choose, I'd rather like you demons. You're cruel and murderous, but at least you're not hypocritical. You've never made any excuses for yourselves."
Chisha stared into Tang Xiaobao's eyes for a long time before finally saying, "Are you worthy of my trust?"
"What do you think?"
"I have no idea."
Tang Xiaobao laughed again.
He still didn't speak.
Whether to believe this kind of thing or not is up to Chisha himself to decide.
After a while, Chisha sighed: "Okay, I believe you."
Where is the future of the demon clan?
He fell into deep thought again.
Before today, he had never thought about this question.
But now, he began to think.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Xiaobao asked, "Have you thought it through?"
"No."
Chisha said, "I want to know where the future of us demons lies. Are we destined to live forever underground, trapped in the dark underworld? Why?"
"That's a good question."
Tang Xiaobao nodded and said, "Yes, why? So, I want to create a world of great harmony, unifying all worlds. No one can be treated as special, and everyone lives in a fair and just environment."
"Can you really do that?"
Chisha didn't believe it.
Tang Xiaobao said, "You know, I'm Pangu's descendant, and he personally chose me as his successor. Maybe I really can't do this, but among all the heavens and the worlds, I'm the one who has the greatest hope of achieving this, don't you think?"
Chisha was speechless.
He didn't know how to refute, and he subconsciously began to imagine the scene of that day.
Born enemies, the demons and immortals, the Buddhists, and the demons all live together without discrimination or prejudice...
The scene was really weird and made people feel very strange, but it was undeniable that if that day really came, it would be very beautiful and people could not help but yearn for it.
"Do you want to see that day?"
Tang Xiaobao continued, "You don't have to answer. I know you want to, but there's a prerequisite: you must be alive. If you don't cooperate, you will die today. They say the demons are immortal, but you're clearly not at that level. Moreover, even if all your ancestors came out, I can kill them. You know, I control the energy of chaos, the highest level of energy in the universe, considered the power of origin."
This is his trump card.
Finally, Chisha's expression changed.
He became extremely conflicted.
It would be fine if Tang Xiaobao didn't give him hope, but just now, he was ready to die.
But now, he didn't want to die anymore.
He wanted to see that day in the future.
Although I know that this hope is very slim, it is still hope after all.
After a while, Tang Xiaobao finally became a little impatient.
"My patience is limited. You have ten breaths left. Life or death? Please make your choice."
Without waiting for ten breaths, Chisha made his choice.
"I want to live."
"You're very clever."
Tang Xiaobao smiled: "I just like dealing with smart people. Now, I have a few questions for you."
"Speaking."
When Chisha really made the decision, he was very calm.
Tang Xiaobao withdrew the sword intent hidden between heaven and earth.
Thus, Chisha gained true freedom.
He did not rush to escape because he knew he could not escape.
Tang Xiaobao only needs a thought to kill him.
Besides, he really didn't plan to escape.
How can you go back on your word after we've already agreed on something?
That's not the demon style.
"What on earth did the Demon Lord do with so many experts?"
This is Tang Xiaobao’s first question.
