It is absolutely right to venerate him as a god.
Because no one can be as perfect as him.
The man from before, even if he was gentle and handsome, was just an ordinary man.
Yu Lijin's reaction had already let everyone in this secluded space know that she had remembered something very important.
The Demon Lord frowned as he looked at Yu Lijing, then glanced at the Demon God who was still smiling elegantly like a chrysanthemum. It was best not to cause any trouble at this time.
"Yu Lijing, don't talk nonsense." The Demon Lord scolded in a low voice. People from the Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm were watching with covetous eyes. He couldn't afford to offend the Demon God because of some speculation.
Little did anyone expect that Yu Lijing would completely ignore the Demon Lord's words, as if she hadn't heard them at all. She just stared at the Demon God, her eyes glued to him, not even shifting her gaze: "You, weren't you dead?"
Upon hearing Yu Lijing's question, Mo Yun's smile deepened, and he said with a smile, "Almost."
"Impossible!" Upon hearing the Demon God's words, Yu Lijing suddenly screamed. The sudden, high-pitched scream startled everyone in the independent space, and all eyes turned to Yu Lijing, thinking she had gone mad again.
"It was my own hands, my own hands..." Yu Lijing repeated the rest of her words for a long time without saying them aloud, as if she was very afraid of what she was about to say.
Mo Yun smiled and continued Yu Lijing's words: "You killed me with your own hands."
Yu Lijing's reaction just now only led everyone to speculate, but Mo Yun's direct statement proves that what Yu Lijing said earlier is true, doesn't it?
Everyone was confused, staring blankly at the group of people from the demon realm. What was going on?
The Venerable One and the Demon Emperor, who knew the inside story, immediately understood after a moment's thought. However, they were even more puzzled by the situation of the Demon God.
"Yes, I did it myself. You, you should be dead..." Yu Lijing kept muttering those words as if she had been frightened.
Mo Yun smiled and said slowly, "The reason I'm in a state of suspended animation is thanks to your mark."
Yu Lijing's eyes widened suddenly, and she asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"
“Your mark always carries your demonic power, so it’s not too difficult for you to survive your attacks.” Mo Yun explained to Yu Lijing in a good-natured manner, as if afraid that she wouldn’t understand.
Yu Lijin knew, of course, that her mark possessed demonic power. If it didn't have her power, why would she have branded it onto him? But why did he brand that mark onto her back then?
At that time, she didn't intend to kill him at all.
Unless, from the very beginning, he foresaw everything that was going to happen.
"You..." Yu Lijing realized this and exclaimed in disbelief.
Was it all planned by him?
"You conspired with the immortals to do all this, causing her death. Did you really expect me to stay in the demon realm?" Mo Yun shook his head with amusement, asking Yu Lijin, "Yu Lijin, you can't be that naive, can you?"
"You know all this?" Yu Lijing was greatly shocked and staggered back a step before she could regain her balance.
Mo Yun smiled, this time the smile finally reached his eyes, but the smile was so cold that Yu Lijing inexplicably shrank back. So cold.
Mo Yun slowly and clearly said, "When I arrived, she was still breathing..." As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Yu Lijing's body tremble as expected. "That little bit of time was enough for us."
Mo Yun's gaze shifted from Yu Lijing to the Venerable One, his smile still gentle: "The Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm have really gone to great lengths for us, deliberately forging handwriting to stagger the time, making me arrive a day late and causing us to miss it. Is this your true intention?"
Yu Lijing remained silent, as did His Excellency.
It wasn't that His Excellency was indifferent, but rather that he was terrified by the facts before him.
She never imagined that the demon god in front of her would be the same man who had seduced her junior sister before.
These two people are completely incomparable.
Isn't this news incredibly exciting?
The sky grew increasingly gloomy, and the sun had already hidden most of its body behind the mountains. Because of the clouds overhead, the setting sun's light was dim and not very bright.
The sky at that moment perfectly matched everyone's mood, with dark clouds covering the ground.
"So, you're here for revenge, right?" Yu Lijing thought for a long time and finally came to this conclusion.
Back then, she and the Venerable One of the Immortal Realm caused them to be separated by death. Now that he has become a Demon God, he must want revenge.
"Yu Lijing, stop fooling around." The Demon Lord couldn't help but scold from the side.
"I would believe it if you said that others had ulterior motives towards the demon realm. But to say that it was the Lord is absolutely impossible," the Demon Lord said with absolute certainty.
When the Demon Lord said this, he was essentially speaking the minds of everyone in the Demon Realm.
The way the Demon God treated the Demon Realm is obvious to all in the Three Realms. Even if the Demon God himself admits that he had some grudges with Venerable Yu Lijing and the others, the current situation is simply unacceptable.
If the Demon God hates Yu Lijing, then is it necessary for him to protect the Demon Realm in this way?
It's important to understand that single-handedly turning the tide and sweeping across the three realms is not something that can be accomplished casually.
Even with the power of the demon god, it still took a great deal of effort.
Moreover, over the past thousand years, the Demon God has expended his own power to protect the Demon Realm.
The Demon Lord witnessed all of these events.
If anyone were to say that they would be detrimental to the demon realm, frankly, even if someone were to doubt the demon lord, no one would doubt the demon god.
"Impossible!" Yu Lijing clearly did not believe the Demon Lord's words. She had made up her mind that the Demon God had come to seek revenge for what had happened in the past.
It's because the woman the demon god loved was indirectly killed by them.
“He’s here for revenge.” Yu Lijing firmly believed this idea; she absolutely did not believe that the Demon God was wholeheartedly dedicated to protecting the Demon Realm.
Yu Lijing's words made the Demon Lord frown: "Don't talk nonsense. Everyone has seen what the Demon God has done over the years."
"He could fake his death back then, and he can scheme against the demon realm now!" Yu Lijing had never imagined that the demon god was so cunning. Now that she thought about it, she realized that he had been acting all along after the death of the Venerable's junior sister.
He deliberately acted颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of listlessness, apathy, and apathy), then pretended to be seeking revenge, tricking her into leaving a mark on him.
Yes, that's right, her mark contains demonic power.
Was he just trying to trick people into giving him this little bit of demonic power?
Even now, Yu Lijing feels terrified when she thinks about it.
Later, his resolute departure finally enraged her, which led her to kill him.
When the demonic power transformed into sharp blades that pierced his body, she watched as he bled profusely, watched as he collapsed to the ground, watched as he stopped breathing…
At the time, she was sad for a very long time, never imagining that it was all something he had planned in advance.
All he wanted was that bit of demonic power from her mark.
It was because of the blow she suffered at his hands that her mind became increasingly unclear, that she hastily married someone, had children, and then hid in the forbidden area.
A thousand years of infatuation, a thousand years of loneliness, it turned out to be nothing more than his conspiracy.
Yu Lijing stared intently at the Demon God, trying to see even the slightest emotion on his face, even just a hint of reluctance.
However, Yu Lijing was disappointed.
The demon god still smiled warmly, gentle and refined; she was completely invisible to him.
"If the Lord really wanted to scheme against the Demon Realm, he would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?" The Demon Lord clearly did not believe Yu Lijing's words.
Would someone want to kill an enemy, but instead nurture and protect the enemy until they are strong before dealing with them?
Unless that person is mentally ill.
"You..." Yu Lijing was filled with hatred. She just couldn't understand why the Demon Lord didn't believe her.
She really wasn't lying.
"Alright, stop talking nonsense and disturbing people's peace." The Demon Lord waved his hand to stop Yu Lijing.
Don't you even know what time it is? Even if you want to say something reckless, you should at least consider the occasion, right?
“You…” Yu Lijing did not expect that the Demon Lord would not trust her in the end. She was not just talking nonsense.
There's at least an 80% chance that what she said is true.
Just as the Demon Lord was about to say something more, Mo Yun smiled and said, "Demon Lord, what she said is actually not wrong."
Mo Yun's words plunged the secluded space into an eerie silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The Demon Lord's lips twitched, and he forced a stiff smile, saying in a self-deceiving manner, "Lord, stop joking. This kind of joke is not funny at all."
Mo Yun looked at the Demon Lord with amusement and asked, "Does the Demon Lord think I'm joking?"
The Demon Lord swallowed hard, staring at the Demon God with suspicion and disbelief. What was he supposed to say now?
He had no idea how to respond to what the demon god had just said.
"I am truly furious." Ignoring the Demon Lord's increasingly stiff facial expressions, Mo Yun's gentle gaze swept over the Venerable One and the Demon Emperor as he said with a smile, "Back then, the Immortal Realm, for the sake of their so-called face, disregarded everything to kill her..."
At this point, Mo Yun paused, his voice trembling. Even after a thousand years, his heart still ached when he thought of this matter.
After a slight pause, Mo Yun continued, "Yu Lijing conspired with the Celestial Venerable for her own purposes. As for the Demon Realm, they also lied to her for the benefits promised by the Celestial Realm. How could I possibly pretend that these things never happened?"
"But..." The Demon Lord was conflicted, extremely conflicted.
The sacrifices the Demon God has made for the demon realm over the years are beyond words. Is this considered revenge?
Mo Yun glanced at the Demon Lord, understanding that he still couldn't figure out the whole story, so he didn't make things difficult for the Demon Lord. Instead, he turned his head and glanced indifferently at the Venerable and the Demon Emperor, and asked with a smile, "Why did the Immortal and Demon Realms come here? I don't need to explain, do I?"
The demon lord's brain, still reeling from the shock, didn't quite grasp the meaning of the demon myth.
The Venerable One also looked bewildered, it seems she didn't understand the Demon God's purpose either.
Only the Demon Emperor's icy expression cracked as he looked at the Demon God, nodded, and praised, "Impressive. I admire you!"
The Demon Emperor's words clearly indicated that he had realized what the Demon God truly meant.
Everyone who was confused looked at the Demon Emperor. Since the Demon God didn't want to give them a specific explanation, then the Demon Emperor should at least say it.
Unfortunately, the Demon Emperor also caught the bad habit and did not directly give the answer that everyone was hoping for.
Whether he was also frightened by the demon god, or because he had too many doubts in his heart, he ignored everyone else and only asked the demon god, "How long have you been planning this?"
After asking the question, the Demon Emperor seemed to realize that his question was somewhat inappropriate, so he changed to a clearer one: "When did you start planning?"
Mo Yun smiled, without any intention of hiding anything: "From the moment she died."
The Demon Emperor shuddered, staring at the Demon God in disbelief, as if he were looking at some monster.
After a long silence, the Demon Emperor cautiously asked, "It is not an easy thing for a human to deal with the Three Realms."
"Of course I know." Mo Yun nodded with a smile. Seeing the deep doubt in the Demon Emperor's eyes, he smiled, a smile so calm and breezy, and said lightly, "Isn't there a Domain of Despair in the Underworld?"
“You…” Others may not know about the Realm of Despair, but who in this isolated space doesn’t know?
These people knew exactly what kind of place it was.
