Above all spirits

Chapter 485 The Emperor's Palace's Worries (Part 2)

Eve's name speaks for itself.

For Eve.

Huang Wuji dared not ignore it.

but.

The possibility of Eve coming to the demon realm is almost zero.

The unspoken rule between the realms of gods and demons is that demon kings and god kings are not allowed to cross boundaries, which involves far too many issues.

Moreover, so much time has passed, Huang Wuji certainly wouldn't believe that Eve's exploration of the rules of death was only superficial. Eve was probably just curious about the true nature of the rules of life and death.

There is no rule in this world that forbids living beings from possessing multiples.

This has been confirmed by many demon kings and god kings. Some of them have even mastered certain characteristics of other rules. However, the characteristics of each rule are sometimes compatible and sometimes incompatible. It is not difficult to master the characteristics of compatible rules, but for those that are incompatible, the root problem cannot be solved, and no amount of time will help.

However, rules are more or less mutually exclusive, and finding a set of rules that perfectly match is harder than a mortal ascending to heaven. Therefore, no god-king or demon-king has yet mastered two sets of rules in the entire upper realm, at least not on the surface.

However, the rules of life and the rules of death are different; they are fundamentally different from other independent rules.

The former is to complete, and the latter is to create.

The former can be integrated, while the latter can only be coordinated.

Take Gu Yun's "Return to Silence" as an example.

In fact, it is the result of the perfect harmony and integration of the "burial" of the death rule and the "spring mud" of the life rule.

It's just that Gu Yun has mastered the true rules of life and death.

He doesn't need to achieve the two opposing conditions of life and death before merging them; he only needs to master one of them.

Because Gu Yun has mastered the killing intent and absorbed the death intent, he has already exceeded the requirements of the [Bury] characteristic.

Even if one's understanding of the rules of life is temporarily zero and one has failed to condense a single characteristic, one can still obtain the true characteristic of the rules of life and death: [Return to Stillness].

It's simply that Gu Yun's "Return to Tranquility" is less effective in this aspect because he failed to understand and grasp the essence of the "Spring Mud" aspect.

"what about you?"

"What do you think? I'm not here just to watch the game, but for this very reason."

At this moment, Huang Xian Yue pursed his lips, his brows furrowed with deep worry, and said.

"Your Majesty, although I am also unwilling for the Imperial Palace to break its promise to the outside world."

"But if we accept Gu Yun, the pressure on the Imperial Palace will be too great. If Lord Wu Hui were not yet asleep, it would be fine, but now you are the only one..."

"For a demon who is merely a demon general, even with extremely high talent, we cannot be certain of his future achievements. More importantly, he is still a demon from outside our race to us."

Gu Shu's opinion differed from Huang Xian Yue's, which was related to his straightforward personality. He continued, "..."

"Gods at the God-King level can't come here, and as for Demon Kings... there are really only a few of them. Since its establishment, the Supreme Palace has never been afraid of any power. The demons who have pledged allegiance to us and possess natural talent all have some kind of burden on them. If they were timid and hesitant, how could they possibly recruit a demon like Lin Fan?"

Although Gu Shu felt a little jealous of Lin Fan, he had no objection to Lin Fan's strength, and this was also for the sake of the overall situation of the Extreme Imperial Palace.

Huang Xian Yue was a little anxious upon hearing this. Gu Shu's words made her feel like she had become the villain.

"Can you guarantee that this Gu Yun will become the next Lin Fan?"

"True forms are rare, but they do exist. Don't you know how many true forms are stuck at the Demon General level?"

Gu Shu maintained his opinion.

"That's just because those demons stuck at the Demon General rank spread rumors to find a way out, which makes you think there are a lot of them. Who would openly tell the outside world that they have broken through when they have actually broken through?"

"you!"

Huang Xian Yue was furious. If he couldn't do it himself, he would find outside help.

"Xian'er! You know the situation outside better than anyone right now. You should try to enlighten this blockhead!"

"what?"

Huang Xian'er was stunned, and being suddenly called out made her somewhat at a loss.

"I..."

"I don't know either... I've hardly ever seen the true form, let alone the rules of life and death."

Huang Wuji frowned slightly. He had considered what they were saying before, and then gestured to Huang Taixu and Huang Yisheng.

"what about you?"

Do you have any opinions?

Huang Taixu chuckled lightly.

"Your Majesty, whatever decision you make, I will follow you without regret."

Huang Yisheng said calmly.

"It's been a long time since I've made a move, so this is a good opportunity to hone my killing intent."

The implication couldn't be clearer.

Upon hearing these two's words, Huang Wuji's brows immediately relaxed, and a smile appeared on his lips. He looked at the final protagonist, Gu Yun, since it was he who had reported him.

"Lin Fan, what do you mean? Although your stance is very clear, aren't you going to say something to reassure the troops?"

Lin Fan sighed softly and said.

"Although I don't want to say it so soon, but... I'm not far from becoming a Demon King."

"It can take anywhere from three to ten years."

Huang Wuji's eyes lit up instantly, and all the demons present focused their gazes on Lin Fan, their eyes filled with surprise, envy, admiration and respect.

Of course, the worship was directed towards Huang Xian'er.

Respect, however, is directed towards the Demon King's status.

They knew that Lin Fan was the closest among the leaders to becoming a Demon King, but being close did not mean he could become a Demon King in a short time.

Within decades?

Within a few hundred years?

Actually, they are all quite close.

After all, compared to the lifespan of a demon lord, even a thousand years is just a fragment.

But things will be different in three to ten years.

This is not much different from saying "next month" in reality.

"well!"

Huang Wuji immediately burst into a hearty laugh, and the last trace of gloom between his brows was swept away.

"Since we are destined to meet, my Imperial Palace needs such a devilish talent. He chose the Imperial Palace. If we were to discard him so easily, it would make my Imperial Palace seem petty."

"It's just a pity."

"There is no suitable person to guide him in the Imperial Palace. I am not very clear about the rules of life and death. I can only mention a few common characteristics."

"Yi Sheng, you should know more about this than I do?"

Huang Yisheng repeatedly said he dared not.

"I have only explored the path of killing intent, and it is essentially based on the rules of power. I don't know much about the rules of life and death. Moreover, the threshold for killing intent is very low. All living beings can master it if they do not consider the influencing factors."

Huang Wuji waved his hand and said.

"Don't be modest. Even among beings who specialize in the rules of death, very few can materialize killing intent and apply it to combat."

"As far as I know, only that angelic god in the divine realm can do it, what's his name again... Oh, God of Bloodlust, what a cool title."

Being praised by others is a wonderful thing, let alone by the Demon King Wuji. A hint of pride, barely perceptible, flashed in Huang Yisheng's eyes, but he still spoke calmly.

"I simply took a couple more steps on a path that no one else wanted to take."

While killing intent is the easiest power to grasp in the rules of death, it is extremely difficult to elevate it to its ultimate transformation. Few people would dedicate themselves to such a path. Killing intent is essentially only used to extract the rare characteristic of the rules of death known to the public: [burial].
