I Slay Gods and Demons in the Deceit Night
Chapter 559 - 344: Fate Always Treats Me Unfairly!

Chapter 559: Chapter 344: Fate Always Treats Me Unfairly!

The effects of the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique have begun to recover, though it seems not fully restored.

At least, the current Great Elder has yet to return to a state free of desires, without sorrow or joy, devoid of emotions and obligations.

Knowing his end is near, there is a hint of sadness in the Great Elder’s eyes.

"I was born in the Holy Land, carefree from a young age, studying the new laws of the Mortal World with the highest tier."

"Before the age of twenty, I had never even seen evil spirits or deceitful objects."

"I’ve often heard that the Human Clan outside struggles in poverty, barely surviving the deceitful nights."

"And yet, as a youth, I felt not pity but arrogance and self-righteousness."

"Upon leaving the Holy Land, I was arrogantly convinced that my noble origin was unmatched by the Martial Artists of the Three Prefectures."

"I was certain that I could become a supreme force among the Human Clan, leading them to overcome adversities of the ten directions of evil."

"Later, I suffered great defeats, repeatedly frustrated, implicating many Martial Artists of the Human Clan, who perished in the deceitful night due to my poor decisions."

"Even after the initial defeat, I couldn’t change my ways. Later in the Residual Prison Mansion, I was ensnared by the Tribulation Ash and surrounded by evil, where twelve elder Martial Artists gave their lives to withstand the calamity, allowing me to escape alive."

"It was from that moment I began to truly understand the hardships faced by the Human Clan in our current times."

"On the surface, it is the Holy Land leading the Human Clan, but in reality, it is also countless humans of the Three Prefectures that raise the Holy Land to a higher standing."

"Later, I voluntarily sought the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique, willingly severing my intentions, removing my nature, and abandoning ambition, joy, sorrow, good, and evil."

"This Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique seemed able to resist the erosion of the deceitful night, averting the risk of losing control, but in fact... it also kills one’s nature."

"However, only by forsaking one’s intentions and nature can one make the right decisions for the development of the Human Clan in the coldest, most rational way."

The mountain formed by poisonous air continued to crumble.

And the blood-colored skeleton kept whispering.

His mind was gradually becoming unclear, seeming more like an unwillingness towards this life before death.

"..."

Lin Yan quietly watched this predecessor who had given all his strength for the Human Clan, remaining silent.

If the Landscaping Technique had not fallen into his own hands,

Maybe this Great Elder, if granted the Landscaping Technique, might not have ended up in this situation.

After a pause, Lin Yan softly said, "Actually, I have thought about one thing. If someone told you upon your return that the Landscaping Technique involves the creation of an eternal new law, would you still lose control?"

"Yes!"

The Great Elder softly replied, "When I was tasked with going deep into the Forbidden Land to investigate the Demon Domain, the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique suddenly lost its effectiveness."

"If not for my indifferent nature and the firm resolve to dedicate myself to the Human Clan that I had even before practicing the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique... the suppressed thoughts of decades would have surely led to my loss of control."

"And although I did not lose control, it was probably from that time that I began to harbor resentment against the Saint Master."

"It was his failure to guard the Holy Land well, causing the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique to lose its effect, almost costing me my life... also causing the death of many high-ranking figures who came out of the Holy Land, among whom many have been turned into evil spirits at the Taixuan Divine Mountain."

"And when I succeeded in achieving perfection and retired from the Taixuan Mountain Range, full of joy, ready to claim the Landscaping Technique to achieve the Inner Realm Divine Domain, I learned that the Saint Master was severely injured and could no longer make imprints. The newly imprinted techniques had to be handed over to someone else."

"I, having fought at the front lines for many years, crossed the line between life and death countless times, guarding the Three Prefectures... who in this stable rear is qualified to compete with me for this technique?"

The blood-colored skeleton murmured, "If the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique had not lost control, I would have considered the overall situation, but at that time... I performed great deeds, yet someone contested my opportunity. Talk of an eternal new law, even if it could completely solve the issue of deceitful nights, was out of the question!"

He let out a sorrowful laugh.

If it weren’t for the Saint Master’s severe injuries, perhaps he could have imprinted the Landscaping Technique once more.

If he had returned half a month later, perhaps he would have learned that the eternal new law had already been achieved.

If he had not explored the Demon Domain, he might not have neared the brink of loss of control, and might not have gone mad due to the Landscaping Technique being seized.

If he had perished at the Taixuan Divine Mountain, he could have preserved his lifelong reputation.

But! There are no ifs!

"Destiny has ultimately treated me harshly..."

A sigh, the light in his eyes dimmed.

The blood-colored skeleton began to disintegrate.

The last ray of nature maintained by the Supreme Profound Dao to Saint Technique was completely extinguished.

Lin Yan remained silent for a moment, then deeply bowed.

Afterward, he closed his eyes and retracted the Netherworld Inner Realm.

The entire Ten Thousand Poison Evil Prison had been transformed by his Netherworld Inner Realm, merging into the Yellow Spring.

——

At the Feng City Temple, the Heavenly God King regained calm.

His old thoughts once again fell into slumber.

Though new thoughts were yet to be born, the endless incense and the will of the Human Clan surrounded him.

"The Saint Master’s abilities are far greater than I anticipated,"

The Supreme Commander of the Prefecture City, with hands behind his back, touched the anomaly brought by the True Dragon Spine and spoke softly, "It’s a pity, after all, a strongman of the Human Clan died, and a Pure Land was lost..."

Before falling, if a Refining God Realm individual of the Human Clan had not lost control, they could choose an object as a vessel.

A successor could inherit their relics and possess their divine power!

The tokens of the heads of each lineage in the Holy Land are the Supreme Treasures left behind by predecessors in the Refining God Realm.

Refining God inheritance can be passed down for five generations!

And if a Creator does not lose control, upon their demise, they can voluntarily sever their dojo, creating a Pure Land that can last for three cycles of sixty years without perishing.
