Xu Jingming looked at Yu Xin and nodded. “Although I’m a Demon Vanquisher, I can understand you and agree that some Demon Vanquishers deserve death.”
After killing them, those Demon Vanquishers only needed to establish new accounts. This price was to jolt those Demon Vanquishers awake!
“You agree with me?” The black-robed youth looked at Xu Jingming. “Or are you just using sophistry to fool me? I know that in order to refine a demon’s obsession, you Demon Vanquishers are capable of saying anything.”
“Sophistry can’t shake the obsession of a Heaven Demon,” Xu Jingming replied.
The black-robed youth sneered at him. “It’s good that you know.”
His obsession was terrifyingly firm. He wanted to see what means this Demon Vanquisher had.
“Those Demon Vanquishers who deliberately implicated countless ordinary people deserve death,” Xu Jingming said. “But you should also know that the entire Demon Vanquisher community maintains order and the stability of the world. Without Demon Vanquishers… countless demons will completely overrun the world.”
“It’s not any better now,” the black-robed youth stated coldly.
“There are no Demon Vanquishers in the rural villages outside the city. I believe you know how miserable those villages are,” Xu Jingming said. “If there were no Demon Vanquishers, all the cities in the world would be like the villages outside the city. The demons would be unrestrained!”
The black-robed youth said calmly, “Those evil demons deserve death, but even more so for the Demon Vanquishers who deliberately created these demons.”
“Demon Vanquishers and demons are everywhere in the world. I know the problem cannot be solved at the root,” the black-robed youth said. “What we need is deterrence! To deter more Demon Vanquishers from doing so.”
“You can’t intimidate them,” Xu Jingming said.
“They will be intimidated if more of them are killed,” the black-robed youth uttered.
“You once captured your enemy and tortured him for three days.” Xu Jingming asked, “Let me ask you, was he afraid? Did he show regret?”
The black-robed youth was stunned.
“Was he completely unafraid? Did he even mock you?” Xu Jingming questioned.
“Why?” the black-robed youth asked. “Why aren’t you Demon Vanquishers afraid? I’ve killed so many Demon Vanquishers and even tortured them. Why aren’t you afraid?”
Xu Jingming fell silent.
Of course, they weren’t!
To ensure that life in the virtual world didn’t affect one’s real life, they could go offline at any time at critical moments. Therefore, there was the autoplay function.
If their body was to completely disappear and go offline, it required no native to see them. However, autoplay could be done at any time. Even if there were many people beside them, they could launch autoplay at any time.
With autoplay, your torture was all borne by the AI. The Demon Vanquishers didn’t suffer at all.?Xu Jingming sighed to himself.?Moreover, they were prepared to establish a new account when they were captured and tortured. How can they be afraid? They will even verbally attack these Heaven Demons.
The black-robed youth sighed and said, “All you Demon Vanquishers have strong minds. Even though you committed genocide, you show no repentance. No wonder the leader said… Only by creating a new world and a new system can people lead good lives.”
“Create a new world?” Xu Jingming was surprised.?Does the Heaven Demon leader have such ideas?
“A country ruled by Heaven Demons,” the black-robed youth explained coldly. “The leader will set the rules, and the Heaven Demons have to abide by them.”
“All Heaven Demons have obsessions; can they follow the rules?” Xu Jingming was curious.
“As long as you kill a Heaven Demon and devour its obsession, through the collision of the obsessions… you will learn its true obsession. A Heaven Demon on the same path can let go of its obsession and be revived,” the black-robed youth said. “A Demon Vanquisher can lie, but a Heaven Demon’s obsession can’t.”
“In our country, the Heaven Demons at the top will follow the leader’s rules,” the black-robed youth continued. “That’s paradise.”
The black-robed youth’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
He had suffered since he was a child and had worked hard his entire life. He had been careful his entire life, and he was ruthless and cowardly when necessary, but his life was still ruined. He wanted a place where ordinary people could live happily—that was the paradise of his dreams.
Xu Jingming looked at him.
Paradise?
The goal of this Demon Vanquishing World was to let top cosmic lifeforms refine demons with their minds. Another goal was to force ordinary citizens to practice martial arts. The harsh environment forced them to work hard and improve.
Only when the environment was harsh enough could more demons be born.
Only when the environment was harsh enough could one go crazy and improve. Only then could one have a chance of gaining basic mastery of martial arts in a few decades.
By not working hard in the virtual world and being eager to live an easy life, when could one turn from a planetary lifeform to a cosmic lifeform?
The suffering in the Demon Vanquishing World was a form of wealth in reality. For example, the black-robed youth, Yu Xin, had a tough life, but he had already gained basic mastery of martial arts! Moreover, he had become a Heaven Demon! Once he woke up in reality, this would be incomparably huge wealth. He could easily rise to prominence.
Xu Jingming knew this, but he couldn’t say it! He couldn’t reveal this to the natives.
“A country ruled by Heaven Demons?” Xu Jingming shook his head. “How laughable. Demon Vanquishers have put in so much effort to find Heaven Demons, but you want to gather together? That will only invite the storming of a large number of high-realm Demon Vanquishers!”
“If the Heaven Demons join forces and fight the Demon Vanquishers, it’s hard to say who will win,” the black-robed youth retorted.
“Every country across the world’s nine countries has many high-realm Demon Vanquishers searching for Heaven Demons,” Xu Jingming said. “High-realm Demon Vanquishers have an absolute advantage. As long as you dare to gather publicly, you will be wiped out.”
