Chapter 690 Eternal Greed

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Within the huge palace of the Immortal Palace, the statue-like corpses of the Demigod Gods stood on both sides, as silent as they had been for tens of thousands of years.

The white-robed "Xu Han" smiled as he looked at Xu Han who was standing on the high platform. He seemed to enjoy looking at Xu Han's disappointed appearance.

"Then who am I?" Xu Han asked with a deep brow after a long silence.

The white-robed "Xu Han" stretched out his middle and ring fingers and said, "You see, one is a hero who saved the world, and the other is a devil who destroyed the heavens and the earth. Isn't this a very simple question? Since you aren't that hero, then aren't the rest of the answers ready to come out?"

As the white-robed "Xu Han" said this, the smile on his face grew stronger with each breath.

Under his smile, Xu Han's heart sank. He tightened his grip on his hand, and his joints and bones pulled together, causing a burst of crackling sounds of bones exploding.

"Before you came here, you had already expected this answer. Everything you saw and experienced has already made you understand this. You know that this is the only answer. You just don't want to believe it." The white-robed "Xu Han" shook his head and said, not panicking at all at Xu Han's killing intent, which grew heavier and heavier with each breath between his eyebrows.

The killing intent around Xu Han almost reached its peak at that moment, but in the blink of an eye, he suppressed the unhappiness in his heart. He asked again, "Then where did he go?"

"Aren't you going to give up?" The white-robed "Xu Han" seemed to fully understand Xu Han's thoughts, so he naturally knew who Xu Han was referring to. However, this time, he seemed to be somewhat disappointed with Xu Han's further questioning.

"Then let me finish this story." After a few breaths of silence, he spoke again, and then his tone became deeper.

"This world is for the sake of imprisoning us. Well, if you don't like us, then count us as me for now." The white-robed Xu Han frowned halfway through his words. He chuckled, changed his words, and said again, "This world is a cage built by the Ghost Rice Men to imprison me, but they suddenly changed their minds after doing so."

"Just like the pair of apprentices in the story, and like the hundreds of millions of people in this world, they always want more."

"Since this world is a cage, there must be something special about it. The person outside the cage held the key. If he didn't open the door, no one would be able to get out. "But they also know that the creatures will always want more than they have. Moreover, I am sealed in the depths of this world, so this world is destined to have more spiritual energy than anywhere else."

"In the end, creatures will continue to search for ways to give themselves more power, such as longevity, power that surpasses anyone else, and boundless power. Driven by these desires, coupled with the abundant spiritual energy between heaven and earth, more and more creatures would be able to jump out of this world. "It doesn't matter if it's one or two of them, but those creatures are destined to have a long life. They can easily accumulate a huge amount of energy. If that energy is not channeled, sooner or later, this cage will be broken by them."

"This may seem like a difficult problem, but the Ghost Rice are very smart, or they think they are very smart."

"So this question wasn't a problem in their eyes. It was the most appropriate opportunity, so they started their plan."

"At that time, the world was still in chaos. Because of my arrival, all living beings had absorbed enough spiritual energy to possess their own intelligence. They had evolved into the human and demon races and ruled over the world. Of course, they also fought in chaotic battles all year round. Gui Guzi observed the world. The humans were born mediocre, but they were extremely plastic. They could absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth in a short period of time and reach a powerful realm. The demons had a long lifespan. Although they could absorb spiritual energy at a much slower rate than humans, they could be nurtured slowly. For example, those demon lords were the best among them. "Of course, the spiritual energy in this world originally came from me, and it naturally contains some of my strength."

'"Look, isn't this much easier? My strength is too strong. They can't and dare not devour it all in one breath, but the creatures of this world can help them slowly accumulate this strength." The white-robed Xu Han winked at Xu Han and smiled, "Do you feel like something?"

"People want to eat meat, so they raise cattle and sheep. They eat grass, but they can convert the grass into meat they want to eat."

Having said that, Xu Han naturally came to his senses. At that time, his face suddenly turned deathly pale. He finally understood why the immortal palace in Kunlun had been sealed for ten thousand years, but the rumors about the immortal palace had been circulating in the mortal world.

That was clearly a big lie that had deceived the world!

The white-robed "Xu Han" narrowed his eyes. He was extremely understanding and paused for a few breaths, giving Xu Han some time to digest the story.

"But like cattle and sheep, the shepherds only raise the sheep that eat the least grass but grow the most meat," he said. "The Ghost Corn also thinks so, so they look at people and demons and want to pick out sheep that can help them grow more meat."

"It's a very complicated process, but as I said at the beginning, creatures have their greatest evil greed. In fact, as long as they were given enough time, cattle and sheep would eventually finish eating the grass on the grass and grow enough meat. "But they don't want to wait so long. They want a kind of cow and sheep that can take into account all the advantages of the two races and help them finish eating the grass in the shortest time possible."

When the white-robed "Xu Han" said this, he stopped again and appreciated the expression on Xu Han's face.

That was naturally an extremely beautiful scene. Xu Han's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. He also looked at the white-robed "Xu Han" with a flash of light in his eyes and said in a somewhat dazed tone, "You mean …"

"I think you've already guessed that it's a half-demon." The white-robed Xu Han narrowed his eyes and said what Xu Han wanted to say.

"A half-demon can provide meat for the Ghost Millet, almost equal to the Demon Lord, and their growth is wrinkled than the human race's True Immortal, you see, there is no better thing than this? "I reckon that the ghost valleys that have opened up the Myriad Domains of the Universe at that time will definitely be complacent. As long as they devour my strength, the monitors will probably not be their opponents. At that time, they will truly be able to rule the world."

"Now that the story has come to this point, the first turning point has begun." As the white-robed Xu Han spoke, a strange smile appeared on his face.

"People eat cattle and sheep on a plate, but when the cattle and sheep are strong enough, why don't the cattle and sheep try being shepherds?"

"Although the Half Demons met the expectations of the Ghost Rice Men, perhaps it was because this species was too powerful that it was very difficult for them to produce offspring. If they wanted to create more Half Demons, the mixing of humans and demons would become a crucial matter. "So the Ghost Valley Men descended to the mortal world. They pretended to be gods and talked to the demons with hypocritical faces. They taught them how to govern this world, and they also built this towering immortal palace for them at the top of Kunlun."

"The Gui Gu Zi let the Half Demons manage this world and describe the wonders of the Myriad Domains of the Universe to them. Then, they promised that they would come every hundred years to pick up the best of them and go to the Myriad Domains of the Universe."

"Everything is going according to the plan of the Ghost Rice Men, but they have underestimated the growth rate of the Half Demons and underestimated the greed of the creatures."

"The Half Demons are in charge of the world in the Immortal Palace, "This world is flourishing as they planned, but soon the half-demons discovered the secrets of this world. They can't get out. Except for those lucky ones who were taken away, no one else can get out. Even though their strength has reached the limit of this world, they are still unable to get out of this world."

'"As the first half-demons were all taken away, the second half-demons were left here to manage the world. Only when the third half-demons had matured would they be taken away by the Ghost Corn. However, during this long wait, the half-demons began to explore the secrets of this world. Soon, they discovered my existence in the depths of this world."

"Well, my words are a bit inappropriate. To be exact, they discovered the power hidden in the depths of the world. "The strength of this power far exceeds their understanding. As long as they can obtain this power, the Half Demons will be able to break through this cage according to their own abilities. Even those ghost millets that they regard as gods will lower their heads under this power."

"Since you can be human, naturally there is no inferior reason. Half of the demons who understood this began to search for a way to obtain this power. They discovered that the reason why Half Demons were able to possess cultivation potentials that far surpassed those of the Human and Demon Races was because their bodies were more easily able to receive my Origin Energy. This was also the original intention of the Ghost Rice Men to nurture them. "And all the power in this world is something that my Origin Energy has transformed into. It's just that the strength of my Origin Energy contained within is different."

The white-robed "Xu Han" stopped again. He pointed at the huge hole behind Xu Han and said, "Remember what you saw in that ball of blood?"

"The second generation of demons understood this, They absorbed the entire Southern Wilderness's Dragon Qi and returned it to their bodies. The enormous amount of Dragon Qi entering their bodies was different from ordinary Spiritual Qi. The Origin Energy wrapped within the Dragon Qi became denser and denser, and this Origin Energy made their bodies even stronger. The more powerful their bodies were, the easier it would be for them to resonate with me. The Half Demons who did this thought that they had the ability to devour my power, so they secretly opened the seal in the depths of this world. "Even if that seal is just an imperceptible crack, it is enough for me that the Thousand Miles Levee was destroyed by the ant nest."

"Although their bodies are powerful, they are still unable to withstand my strength. I cannot descend on them through the crack of a smile, but it is enough for my Ancient Demons who were sealed with me in the depths of this world to give some power to these creatures who thirst for power. Although it was only a small bit, it was enough to make them ecstatic. And I am a very kind person, so while giving these powers, we also told them some truths about the world. "

After learning that their existence was only the cattle and sheep kept by the Ghost Corn, these half-demons went crazy. They were eager to find a way to fight the Ghost Corn, and there was only one thing they could think of, and that was me. As the white-clothed "Xu Han" spoke, the corner of his mouth curved into a sharp arc. "So, in the immortal palace of Kunlun, they began to fight each other. They wanted to plunder each other's flesh and blood to strengthen their bodies, so that they could obtain more and more power from me. "Thus, all of the half-demons died in this golden palace. The only survivor carried the corpses of his former companions into this palace one after another. He cut off their wrists and let the blood wrapped in their fleshly bodies gush into the depths of this palace, gathering in the huge cave behind you."

Hearing this, Xu Han remembered the scene he had seen in the blood at the entrance of the cave. He sank his brows and said, "He failed, didn't he?"

Hearing this, the white-robed "Xu Han" did not respond to Xu Han's question. He continued to tell the old story he spoke of.

"Half of the demons are dead. When the ghost millet descended on this world as scheduled, preparing to harvest their cattle and sheep, they saw the dilapidated immortal palace buried under the heavy snow. "I have to mention the good deeds of those half-demons. They opened a crack in my seal. Although this crack is far from enough to allow me to escape, I am enough to cast a Spiritual Bewilderment Formation so that the projections of those ghost valleys that descended here will not be able to discover the real situation."

"I know that those Gui Gu Zi's thoughts are exquisite. After discovering the deaths of those half-demons, I must have noticed that this matter has something to do with me. Therefore, I sealed off the Immortal Palace and gave the projection that descended here a similarly dilapidated Immortal Palace. I also let them witness the tragic scenes in those Immortal Palaces. Only then can I hide something that I want to hide. "

"As I expected, after witnessing this situation, the Gui Gu Zi attributed all of the reasons to the fact that the Half Demon was too powerful and not easy to control. Thus, they changed their minds over and over again. They carved the motto "Half-demon shall never appear in the world" into the rules of this world, and then secretly supported the human race, creating three vicious swords for them, helping them expel the demon race. Then, they used the same trick again, choosing the person they liked from the rulers of the human race and awarding them the position of True Immortal. He then gave the same promise that they had given to half of the demons, but the difference was that the True Immortals of the human race were even more cruel to their own clansmen.

"They know more or less about the plans of the Ghost Rice, However, the temptation to travel to the starry sky of the Myriad Domains still chose to rely on the Ghost Millet. The immortals who deceived time came to Kunlun to search for the Kunlun Immortal Palace that had long been covered in heavy snow. Generations after generations, no one knew that the so-called Immortal Palace was actually just a big lie that deceived the world and stole fame. "

"None of this went beyond my expectations. The only thing I didn't expect was that they hadn't repaired the crack in my seal. Perhaps they felt that the existence of this crack would allow me to leak my strength to this world to a greater extent. It would speed up the cultivation speed of those humans and also speed up their devouring speed."

"Because of this, the world continued to operate, and what happened to those half-demons also continued to happen to them."

After the white-clothed "Xu Han" finished speaking, he looked at Xu Han again and said, "Half of the story is already here, but look, no matter how the protagonist of the story changes, there is always only a little bit of greed that pushes the story forward."

"The Immortal Master and disciple were good, the Gui Gu Zi who liked to seek good fortune and avoid evil the most, and even the trillions of living or dead creatures in this world were the same. They always treat us as their enemies, but what they don't understand is that their enemies will always be themselves. If it weren't for their greed, we would have died long ago, or been sealed in the depths of the world, and would never have been able to turn back. However, they have given us chances time and time again. That's why we are still alive, so that we can let them taste the taste of death time and time again. "

Xu Han did not like this white-clothed "Xu Han" 's lengthy discussion, nor did he like the undisguised bewitching intent in his tone. He frowned again and said, "I have no intention of exploring with you. I just want to know who I am! Where did he go?"

The white-robed Xu Han narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Han. He laughed. It was no longer a chilling smile, but a sincere smile that could not be more sincere.

'"There are so many people in the story who have paid or will pay their price for their greed, but you still don't understand. It's like they want more at a glance. Tragedies always repeat themselves and never end." The white-clothed "Xu Han" said this, and this high and mighty comment naturally caused the malevolence accumulated in Xu Han's heart to become even more intense.

However, the white-robed "Xu Han" knew his limits. Before Xu Han was about to get angry, he said again, "Alright, let's talk about the last paragraph of this story."

As the white-robed "Xu Han" spoke, he actually took a step forward and walked towards the high platform where Xu Han was. Seeing this, Xu Han's face revealed a look of vigilance. However, the white-robed "Xu Han" seemed to be unaware of this. He walked to the high platform by himself and crossed over with Xu Han. Then, he arrived at the huge cave beside the high platform and stood still.

The white-robed "Xu Han" lowered his head and looked at the constantly churning blood in the cave entrance. His pupils reflected the scorching heat that was rolling like lava. He muttered, "We have to start from here about your story."
