Chapter 1646: Chapter 1647: The Power of the Remnant Soul

"Origin?"

Yu Yanshu caught onto the two most crucial words in the speech and spoke instinctively.

But Cui Manlou, sensing what the Green Hillock Empress intended to say, immediately stood in front of her. "Your Majesty, Lord of the Sect has merely just entered the Golden Core stage. Isn’t discussing such matters with her at this time too premature?"

"What does your Sect Lord have to do with me? If I wish to speak, she must listen."

The domineering words fell, and with a single finger pointed, Cui Manlou’s concealed qi was instantly suppressed.

The suppression of the Heaven-reaching Ghost-killing Formation was indeed fierce, but she, after all, had once been a Demon God. Moreover, her current manifestation was far from a mere remnant soul—it carried the accumulated qi integrated into the Heavenly Fox Orb by Su Chengyu’s cultivation over the years.

Boom!

A massive Ancient Bronze Seal formed in front of Cui Manlou. Knowing that even if this Divided Spirit was destroyed, Cui Manlou would not completely perish, the Green Hillock Empress opted for the simplest and most brutal suppression.

Faced with a force that rivaled the Peak of the Hollow Void, Cui Manlou found himself thoroughly restrained.

Cui Manlou’s face was exceptionally grim. He clearly hadn’t anticipated that the Green Hillock Empress would still possess such formidable power within the Heaven-reaching Ghost-killing Formation. His astonishment was accompanied by a wave of dread.

He had no doubt: if not for the presence of the Heaven-reaching Ghost-killing Formation, the former Demon God, even in her current God’s Soul state, could easily obliterate him thousands of times over.

The Immortal Realm has its hierarchies, and Demon Gods are no exception. Cui Manlou had no choice but to admit that he had underestimated the former top-ranked figure of the Red List, a Demon God of such extraordinary Realm.

Still, even under these circumstances, Cui Manlou was not entirely disheartened. The current situation was, in fact, better than the worst-case scenario he had envisioned.

However, just as Cui Manlou attempted to act and escape the control of the Dharma Seal pinning his body, an aura traveled from thousands of miles away, directly targeting his Primordial Spirit.

Spurt!

Black blood gushed forth violently, and the suppressed Qi Blood Magic Power instantly collapsed. His already darkened face turned pale, making him look even more grotesque—neither human nor ghost.

"What’s happening to him...?"

Yu Yanshu noticed Cui Manlou’s abnormal state and asked, bewildered.

She hadn’t sensed anyone attacking Cui Manlou and couldn’t understand why his injuries had worsened suddenly.

Beside her, the Green Hillock Empress seemed to have some insight and spoke softly, "It has nothing to do with me, nor with anyone here. Most likely, one of his Divided Spirits was completely destroyed elsewhere, affecting his current state."

Yu Yanshu immediately comprehended and began to realize the lifeblood of the so-called Demonic Path.

"They can create countless Divided Spirits equivalent to their main body, but every single Divided Spirit directly impacts the main body. Therefore, once all Divided Spirits perish, they face death and destruction."

"That’s correct. In this regard, they’re no different from Human Cultivators. At their core, they are simply one form of life. While their traits of immortality and indestructibility may seem remarkable, they merely stand out in comparison to Humans. From the perspective of the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, this level of talent is not exclusive to their race."

Yu Yanshu blinked, gradually grasping the Green Hillock Empress’s intent in explaining this. "So, the so-called Demonic Path shouldn’t be regarded as heretical or deviant. It’s fundamentally an entirely different race compared to Humans."

"Exactly. Long ago, he once declared that the Demonic Path could already be considered the Demon Clan."

"But the Demon Clan’s origin..."

"The Demon Clan has no origin."

Anticipating what Yu Yanshu meant to ask, the Green Hillock Empress spoke directly, then turned her gaze to Cui Manlou, who was still struggling to endure.

"Be it the Nether Clan or the Demon Clan, both have their own Land of Origin. With a Land of Origin, even if every member of a race in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds dies, new members will continue to be born there. This is the fundamental reason Humans and Demons can coexist. The Human Clan’s Land of Origin is this world, and the Demon Clan has its place elsewhere."

"But the Demon Clan has none?"

Yu Yanshu looked at Cui Manlou in astonished disbelief.

"Correct. That group essentially evolved—or mutated—from Humans. In essence, they are born of the same world as Humans. But a single world can only serve as the Land of Origin for one race. As long as this world remains bound to the Human Clan, the Demon Clan can never establish their foothold. This irreconcilable conflict ensures that only one life form can continue to thrive and endure. Now, do you understand what joining them truly entails?"

Yu Yanshu remained silent.

The Green Hillock Empress’s words were so clear that it was impossible for Yu Yanshu not to understand.

No coexistence means that Humanity and the Demon Clan are destined to clash, leaving only one race to survive on this earth.

And if she chooses to join the Demonic Path—or becomes part of the Demon Clan—she will be bound by fate to oppose all Humans, including Su Chengyu.

"Lord of the Sect..."

"Shut up!"

Yu Yanshu spoke coldly, her gaze toward Cui Manlou now filled with hatred.

She didn’t mind being manipulated or having her life targeted. But she couldn’t accept someone driving her into opposition with Su Chengyu.

Noticing Yu Yanshu’s rejection, Cui Manlou’s expression darkened further. He raised his head with difficulty and glared at the distant Green Hillock Empress.

"Your Majesty, what a brilliant move. You’ve only just arrived here, yet you’ve already pinpointed what matters most in the Sect Lord’s heart."

The Green Hillock Empress was unfazed by the sarcastic remarks and replied calmly, "I merely told the girl some truths, which she would inevitably learn anyway, wouldn’t she?"

"Then why not divulge the rest?"

"I don’t know."

"You don’t know, I..."

"Did I permit you to speak?"

Boom!

As Cui Manlou opened his mouth again, the Green Hillock Empress pressed down the Seal Technique restraining him. Another mouthful of black blood burst forth, forcibly preventing Cui Manlou from continuing.

"Your Majesty?"

Yu Yanshu was puzzled, wondering why the Green Hillock Empress chose this moment to silence Cui Manlou further.

The Green Hillock Empress looked at Yu Yanshu and spoke softly, "You are Yu Er’s disciple. These matters shouldn’t be hidden from you, but they’re still too heavy for you now. I know you might not believe me, but if you trust Yu Er, I can promise to keep certain truths concealed for the time being—for your sake and his."

"I don’t understand you."

Yu Yanshu shook her head, utterly unable to comprehend the underlying meaning of the Green Hillock Empress’s words.

The Green Hillock Empress chuckled bitterly and looked into the distance: "They are not like you. You have the luxury of choice, but some people do not. And as Lin Yuan’s grandson, he especially does not."

In this world, anyone may relinquish themselves, choose to fall, or choose an alternate way of life.

He alone cannot.
