Chapter 181 A Life of Misery



Among the emperors, there are many stages and realms, and the abilities of each realm will be different.

For example, demon cultivators will be stronger than other emperors after they become emperors, not because they have mastered many forbidden techniques and secret methods, but because demons themselves exist for destruction and killing.

If it were some compassionate Buddhists and Taoists, who became emperors through enlightenment, it would be impossible for them to possess the same destructive power as the demons.

As for the state of selflessness and transcendence, it refers to a state where the mind is free of thoughts and stands above all living beings. They either benefit the heavens and all worlds forever, or live in endless chaos and control the balance of the universe.

Or you can ignore worldly affairs and become a true god-like existence, revered and worshipped by thousands of living beings.

Tiansha felt that Tongyin was not as good as Jiang Zhige, and he did not agree with this realm.

Without form and self, without life and without longevity, can it still be considered a demon? What is the point of existing in the world? Tiansha has existed for countless tens of thousands of years, and has almost entered the state of selflessness and transcendence more than once, but he felt that it would be better to die than to live like this.

Jiang Zhige suddenly felt relieved. As long as he was not surrounded and killed by the three Demon Emperors for the time being, he still had hope of saving the heaven.

"Boy, looking at your appearance, are you really ready?"

"What else? Just sit back and watch them destroy the heavens and the world?"

Jiang Zhige suddenly sighed, feeling helpless.

Tiansha still didn't understand, and asked: "If you become enemies with three demon emperors for some irrelevant people and unfortunately lose your life, how can you protect the people you want to protect?"

He knew very well that Jiang Zhige had long lost his cynicism and that he had embarked on the path of evil only to protect the people he loved.

However, when he met the three Demon Emperors, he felt resistance at first, and chose to become the enemy of the three Demon Emperors without any hesitation, and decided to save the heavens and all worlds from disaster.

"Tiansha, you are right. If I were just Jiang Zhige, why would I care about the survival of the heaven? Protecting Rou'er and the others is my responsibility."

"Unfortunately, I am not only Jiang Zhige, but also the Emperor of Heaven."

"Since I am already in the center of the storm, if I stand aside and just think about keeping myself safe, that is the worst of all evils, and it is definitely not my way."

After saying this, Jiang Zhige did not feel any compassion for the world, but only felt certain that it should be like this.

Tiansha was quite stunned and could not understand Jiang Zhige's obsession for a moment.

He is neither good nor evil, and it is difficult to describe him as both good and evil.

"Boy, you really are the material."

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. You are a demon who claimed to be the emperor. Even if you pretend to calm down Tong Yin and the other two, it will definitely attract countless rumors. What's more, you promised to give Liu Qi 30,000 lives every seven days."

There was a hint of joking in Tiansha's words. If he remembered correctly, Jiang Zhige could not bear the feeling of grievance the most back then.

Jiang Zhige was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said with a smile: "Tiansha, after thousands of years of ups and downs, I am no longer the same as I used to be."

"Since I started practicing Taoism, I have never asked for peace and happiness. As long as Rou'er and the others can live well, from now on, I will be the only one to bear the infamy for generations to come."

At this moment, countless cultivators in the heavens were shocked and could not recover for a long time.

Inside the Zhengyang Temple, hundreds of monks felt the same way, their hearts filled with shame and admiration.

The truth is clear. The so-called evil Demon Emperor has lived a miserable life with only an obsession for the common people of heaven and earth.

As a child, he begged for a living and experienced the fickleness of human nature, but he always believed that no one will ever experience lows in their lifetime.

When he was young, he had poor talent but was extremely sentimental. He practiced hard day and night just to protect his sister Nangong Rou.

During his hundred years, he made contributions to the people of Dawn, and completely fell into the devil's way for his apprentice Mo Ziyan, but was defined as a possessed devil and should be killed, and he was nearly killed several times.

Thousands of years passed, and he rose from a beggar to an emperor, willing to bear the eternal infamy just to protect the peace of heaven.

If it weren't for his protection, the world would have long since become a demonic land.

However, until his death, he was still misunderstood by the world.

Looking back on the past, Jiang Zhige lived a life without regrets. He almost always lived for others. Instead, it was this vast world that felt sorry for him.

"The greatest immortals guard the gates of heaven, suppress demons, and pacify the chaotic world."

"Establish a mind for heaven and earth, establish the people for the people, inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the world for all eternity"

“The Demon Emperor is called the Demon Emperor, but he is not the devil among demons, but the immortal among immortals.”

In the past, Jiang Zhige's words only made everyone in the hall sigh, but now they have been confirmed one by one.

He single-handedly redefined the way of magic, and also personally explained what it means to be the emperor among immortals.

"The Gan family of the Qi clan pays homage to the Emperor Xuan Cang!"

"Qitian Sect, pays homage to Emperor Xuancang!"

"Quanxiang Shenzong, greets Emperor Xuancang!"

Hundreds of powerful men who were vying for the top of the heaven in the hall knelt down and saluted Jiang Zhige.

This kneeling was to the great Emperor Xuan Cang, but it was also to express the shame in their hearts.

Not far away, Su Qingqiu looked stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.

Qu Yun had a complicated look in his eyes as he looked at all the powerful men in the hall in silence.

Bai Wuji's expression was uncertain. He lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Nangong Rou and Mo Ziyan had already burst into tears, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they felt as if their hearts were being cut by a knife.

They did not hate the world for letting Jiang Zhige bear the infamy, they only hated that when Jiang Zhige was despised by the world, they failed to firmly accompany Jiang Zhige, and even misunderstood him together.

Over the years, Jiang Zhige has been alone outside, with no one to confide in. How much pain must he be feeling inside?

"Sister Qingqiu! Do you want to wait any longer?!"

"Master has lived a miserable life and has never had a single day of peace and happiness!"

Mo Ziyan and Nangong Rou looked at Su Qingqiu together, and tearfully asked her to untie the Sky-binding Chain.

If Jiang Zhige died for protecting the heaven, and they would never be able to meet them again, the heaven would no longer be heaven to them.

Su Qingqiu came back to his senses after hearing the voice, raised his head to look at Mo Ziyan and Nangong Rou, then turned his head to look at Jiang Zhige who was half-kneeling in the hall.

"Xiao Rou, Zi Yan, can you wait a little longer?"

"The memories of Jiang Zhige after he became emperor are very precious. Now there is still some time, and I want to know some more things."

"Don't worry, no matter what the truth is, I won't let him die."

The scene of Jiang Zhige's arrival in the Spirit Realm some time ago was still vivid in Su Qingqiu's mind. Even though Su Qingqiu believed that he was a good person, he still wanted to know the truth behind those things.

The most important thing is, if Jiang Zhige was a good person, Su Qingqiu really didn’t understand why Jiang Zhige killed her at the last moment in the Shenhuang world.

After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall became slightly quieter.
