Yun Shou was deposed.
Everyone thought he was crippled.
He was firmly confined to the second realm by that Demonic Egg, never to step into a higher realm, otherwise he would instantly fall into demonic ways!
Once a prodigy with six perfect fighting bodies and a future nuclear weapons reserve for humanity, he was destroyed in an instant by an ancient demon king.
The Fifth Realm Demon King from thousands of years ago was an ancient being who had survived from the era of the previous three races, a period of time far longer than that of almost all known living beings in the entire Azure Domain.
(Yun Shou was unaware of Xuanwu's existence.)
Such a terrifying being, a living fossil, should not appear in the world except in places like holy wars, yet it made a move because of a human warrior who had not yet reached the third realm.
This is absolutely ridiculous!
King Realm, True King, King of the Century... that is the most powerful existence in the Azure Domain, and no one below the Fifth Realm can resist or stop it.
Yun Shou was trapped deep in the Demon Land for more than a year. Even after being rescued by Bei Chenguang, there were still many rumors and gossips surrounding him.
Some say he betrayed humanity, others say he was merely enduring humiliation, but almost without exception, everyone knows he was ruined.
Yun Shou, once a rising star and the leader of the Three Heroes of Yun Yang, is now merely a powerful second-realm cultivator with a promising future, nothing more.
He may be invincible in the world in the second realm, but he is no match for the third realm. The gap between these two major realms is as high as dozens of times!
Without entering the fourth realm, one cannot change the situation of a race; without entering the third realm, one has no right to interfere in even a mid-to-high-level battle or conflict. Yun Shou was once infinitely glorious, and many overlords greeted him with smiles.
Even though he can't be said to be completely ignored now, most of his "friends" only come to visit once or twice, express their regret and pity, and then never see him again.
Simply having his aptitude crippled wouldn't be enough; the most fatal flaw lies in the irreversible demonization within him... This not only makes him a fallen genius but also burdens him with extremely sensitive hidden dangers.
What if he has secretly defected to the demons?
What if you maintain a friendly relationship with him, chatting and laughing, and inadvertently reveal information about the human race, which he then relays to others?
Especially considering that Bei Chenguang is just a newly ascended overlord, a kid whose combat strength isn't even at the mid-stage of the third realm... how could he possibly rescue Yun Shou from the depths of the Demon Land, right under the noses of one pseudo-king after another!?
Even if Yun Shou has passed the Heart-Testing Formation and confirmed that he is still loyal to the human race, who can guarantee that there is no seed planted in him that will forcefully brainwash and tamper with his thoughts, thus leading to betrayal?
They were very wary. Yun Shou was a rising star among the human race, and the people he knew were all quite talented, capable of becoming influential figures in their own right. If they formed some kind of network of relationships...
Better safe than sorry!
Therefore, very few people truly maintain the relationship and are still willing to continue communicating with Yun Shou as before.
Only a dozen or so former teammates, the martial artists whose lives he had saved before, Chu Heshang who had received his kindness, and his adopted son Xiaoguang remained the same as before.
"I was just kidding, I wasn't actually crippled at all."
Yun Shou lay on the bed and slowly created a clone. This clone was connected to his consciousness and had the same physical details. The only difference was that it did not have the Demon Seed.
The cheat code that the main body just gave him.
In the previous conversation, Yun Shou was very curious about how the main body came to rescue people. Did it rescue people based on the difficult time points of each simulation, or did it choose the time when they died unexpectedly in battle, or when they reached the end of their lifespan?
The original body: "Unless it's an accident like Lao Liu's, I almost always choose the death node, which is you at the moment the simulation ends."
"Then why did they come looking for me so quickly this time? Wait, could it be that someone from the human race will secretly kill me soon, or that I've been successfully possessed by that Demon Egg?"
"No, the first person I found was actually you, who was about to die a thousand years later."
The original body slowly said, "You were in a terrible state back then. The entire Azure Domain was completely overturned by a Devouring Beast... and so on and so forth... In the end, you could only be locked alone in a lower realm, with chains piercing your bones, and you died when your lifespan ended."
“I appeared in front of him and asked him if he was willing to use the cheat to turn the tables and take back everything that once belonged to him.”
He refused.
"At that time, he was too old and too tired. He had completely lost his spirit and just wanted to quietly wait for death and have a long sleep."
"So he told me to come back to you, to find the man who was still full of vigor, the man who still had the will to fight against heaven and earth, whose passion had not yet cooled down."
The main body shrugs: "So I simply dragged the progress bar to the very beginning and found you, who had just been rescued by Haki Light."
"...However, I didn't give up on him. I created a separate timeline for him and added settings like the underworld, so that after he was corrupted by demons, he could have a happy reunion with Wu Hu Hu, Xi Xi Qi, and the others in the underworld."
"If he gets tired of staying in the underworld one day, he can still choose to return to the human world to fight his way back—but only for him."
Yun Shou suddenly realized: "Oh, I see."
But then he hesitated for a moment: "But... if you bring it up too early, won't there be some situations where I won't be able to act?"
