Under such circumstances, Ye Tiancheng finally felt the immense pressure from the other party. Perhaps it was precisely because of this pressure that it became a significant oppressive force for Ye Tiancheng. Therefore, in his heart, many things should have vanished with ease.
However, from the perspective of the Great Green Snake, such a construction did not truly demonstrate Ye Tiancheng's respect for Bi Erne. He himself was very clear about this, and because of this clarity, the things in his heart had successfully channeled out his pent-up emotions like a controlled release.
"I'm sorry... perhaps I'm too much of a busybody!" At this moment, his smile carried a sense of disdain for the Divine Fire consciousness. Perhaps, in Ye Tiancheng's view, this was a form of blasphemy. Such blasphemy had already had a significant impact on Ye Tiancheng's heart. Perhaps it was because of this impact that Ye Tiancheng harbored things that others could not understand.
He smiled brightly and said, "Then so be it. As the one who turned these snake demons into demonic beast materials, I truly have no desire to say anything more. For me, these things have long been inconsequential." He appeared resolute and natural. In Ye Tiancheng's heart, many things had actually long ceased to be in a state of madness. At this moment, what he thought in his heart had already completely collapsed.
Looking at the critical juncture of complete collapse, Ye Tiancheng no longer cared about how he would proceed. To be honest, some things now seemed to be planned by him to use the bodies of these individuals to continue his dreams and his own destiny.
Perhaps this was the only way out... because to become a formidable person, the first thing to do was to carve out living space. In this era, someone who needed a vast amount of living space required even more, which in turn necessitated killing more demonic beings.
Ye Tiancheng truly no longer cared, because for him, life had become utterly insignificant. All of this, for Ye Tiancheng, actually made him feel rather unnatural.
After all, these were lives, too. How could he let these lives slip away?
Speaking of these, his heart clearly developed many obstacles.
For Ye Tiancheng, this felt like an infinite number of obstacles.
This feeling had actually formed something very decisive in Ye Tiancheng's heart.
In Ye Tiancheng's heart, many things could no longer be expressed in words.
The obstacles in his heart gradually formed a powerful oppressive force. Therefore, in Ye Tiancheng's heart, there were things on a moral level and things on a developmental level suppressing his heart. These things were the so-called contradictions, because if he could not avoid taking the lives of others, his cultivation and advancement would be rendered void.
Therefore, the obstacles in Ye Tiancheng's heart were actually inner torment and the unavoidable realities of what he had to do.
In his heart, those things were simply infinite darkness.
The things that plagued his heart gradually began to erode the original purity within him.
Seeing this, Ye Tiancheng's heart was about to explode. He saw the secular world, with its overwhelming complexities and distractions, causing his inner darkness to be infinitely magnified. Yet, he did not wish for liberation from it.
For Ye Tiancheng, this inner darkness was like something cruel. He had long become accustomed to these things, and they had condensed into something, becoming a part of his being.
"To abandon darkness is to abandon power. The final world is the twilight of the gods." Suddenly, these thoughts appeared in Ye Tiancheng's mind. He did not feel any fear; instead, he accepted it all with a sense of contentment. Ye Tiancheng could actually accept all these changes. He suddenly awoke and looked at the boundless darkness. This darkness was forming boundlessly and could engulf Ye Tiancheng's heart with profound darkness. However, he felt that there was nothing significant about combining this evil karma, and therefore, he felt it was quite good.
Since that was the case, he might as well embrace the darkness.
After all, all things have a process of decay.
Since all things have a process of decay, then the meaning of life's existence is merely a passing moment in this mortal world. Upon realizing these aspects of life, Ye Tiancheng's heart suddenly became much brighter. His clear eyes held too many things that were incomprehensible. Perhaps it was these things that presented many obstacles for Ye Tiancheng. He did not wish to understand too much. These things were like people who walked and stopped, constantly searching, or perhaps making much progress.
If a person truly wished to internalize these things, they would understand them profoundly. Since they were things that would be understood profoundly, they needed to be carefully considered. In this regard, his inner faith had long since vanished.
Since they were things that would vanish, then it could be said that certain things existed due to others' perceptions. Within these perceptions, Ye Tiancheng's heart was truly being acted upon by something strange, but it appeared to make people feel nauseated and disgusted.
Perhaps, in this world, some things require evil people to do them.
Because evil people can accomplish what others cannot.
More formidable than robbers are good people, and worse than good people are evil people.
To contend with evil people, one must be even more evil than them.
This world does not take care of evil people. For good people, the meaning of living is to be bullied by evil people.
Those who are good on the outside but evil on the inside are the ones who can establish themselves in this world.
Ye Tiancheng felt that he looked very wicked, but it seemed that for Ye Tiancheng, this was something he had always dreamed of. Since it was something he had always dreamed of, then he no longer needed to cherish those things.
In this regard, his heart was filled with infinite suffering.
Because he had struggled with this matter, to extricate himself from such suffering, he had to do it himself.
With the great changes in this world, people no longer pursued simple things. Everyone's changes were in accordance with the world. If one cannot survive in this world, they will be eliminated by it.
The entire person's heart constantly changed within the complex environment. As he accepted different things from this world, Ye Tiancheng accepted the dark aspects. These dark aspects would form his most crucial elements. He would not accept hypocritical realities, meaning grand principles that sounded beautiful on the surface but were actually like dog feces.
And what he most wanted to do was—evil.
"It seems he has fallen into the abyss!" The Great Green Snake could not see the darkness within Ye Tiancheng's heart, which was terrifying. Becoming a demon was easy; becoming a great demon was extremely difficult, much like becoming a great virtuous person, requiring infinite trials.
Only a demon who can achieve supreme trials can become a great demon.
Only by pushing the mindset of a great demon to its absolute extreme can one become a great demon.
Looking at him like this, sooner or later, the Divine Stone would forge him into a destroyer.
Therefore, the Great Green Snake believed that the Divine Stone was acting like a complete scoundrel.
To work together when their paths are different is truly the most painful thing in the human world. Because of their powerful, burning desires, they both belonged to those who constantly destroyed things for their own means.
Therefore, in Ye Tiancheng's heart, his darkness burned brighter than anyone else's. Under such a fervent state of heart, what would become of him? It was difficult to say. Since it was difficult to say, it was better not to say anything.
Because people's hearts always hide things that others cannot understand.
These things were truly a painful matter for the Great Green Snake. He thought too much. Some things are best left to nature. Because until the end, who can truly know their future and destiny?
What happens later will be discussed later.
Because those things, for Ye Tiancheng, were a series of trials.
Everything one wants to obtain requires great effort.
On the path of cultivation, it is a struggle with heaven and earth... This seems very flavorful and happy. Since that is the case, what is there to fear? At worst, it would be utter destruction and eternal damnation. Once a person dies, they know nothing. Perhaps people like me should have died long ago? Recalling these thoughts, Ye Tiancheng's heart became calmly and frankly accepting. For him, many things could be abandoned, so what else could not be abandoned?
Since anything could be abandoned, what else was there to fear?
Therefore, for Ye Tiancheng, what he most wanted to do was to destroy heaven and then reshape the world.
His so-called Divine Realm was a place filled with filth. Since he intended to overthrow the Jade Emperor, his heart should have the ultimate dark intention.
Darkness is also a form of power. When this power is cultivated to its extreme, it can be equally matched. Everyone in the world knows that true energy is power, but they do not know that darkness is also an infinite power.
Some things can only be brought to their extreme in a dark world.
"Cultivating the demonic path harms the heart and body. Do you truly wish to choose such a path?" a voice said in Ye Tiancheng's ear.
Hearing this, Ye Tiancheng chuckled in his heart, "That is very natural, very natural. Because this is what my heart thinks, so I feel it is very good."
"Then, if you feel it is good, that's fine!" The Divine Stone did not stop Ye Tiancheng's thoughts. In his view, doing so, although a near-death experience, was inconsequential. After all, one person living was good enough; whether other people lived or not had nothing to do with him.
When heaven and earth are about to be destroyed, for a person to transcend life and death can be considered good.
Because matters of the Divine Realm require him to change.
As for the myriad beings, they are merely ants under his feet, to be trampled upon as he wishes. For those with great abilities, weakness is a sin.
Because weak people do not deserve to live in this world.
Their existence is a joke.
Ye Tiancheng thought this way. His thoughts were simple: eliminate everyone who stood in his way.
As for others wanting to transform from weak ants into great figures like himself, that is a sin. Because what he wants to control, how can he let others obtain it? Anyone who tries to contend with him must die. He would absolutely not leave any room for such people. If any such ants appear before him, he will resolutely eliminate them.
In Ye Tiancheng's heart, darkness grew even more intense. The demonic core in his dantian also seemed to sense his power.
"Is this considered a form of decadence?" At this moment, the Great Green Snake asked, seeing his demonic core grow stronger. Of course, this question was directed at the Divine Stone. The Divine Stone smiled, his facial expression as if he were mocking him.
The Divine Stone remained silent, clearly looking down on such a fussy person. Seeing that he was no longer answering, the Great Green Snake felt somewhat uneasy. It was unexpected that he was such a fussy person, hence the expression. This expression clearly made people feel infinitely annoyed. Seeing that he was being disliked, he actually said nothing, remaining silent as always.
Perhaps it is precisely this silence that is so annoying?
Since he was annoying, it was naturally not convenient for him to speak too clearly.
Some things, when spoken too clearly, clearly make people feel unpleasant. That is why he maintained such silence.
That silence is a sin. In front of the three of them, one should appear very serious and not reveal such matters too obviously, otherwise, it would truly be annoying.
Ye Tiancheng did not want to make these things too obvious. Unexpectedly, for Ye Tiancheng, he wanted to cultivate the demonic path to its absolute extreme, to see if he could ultimately defeat the Jade Emperor or be utterly destroyed and damned.
When those deceptive academic trends no longer misled him, he chose to become an enemy of this heavenly dao.
What they call acting on behalf of heaven is nothing more than using this guise to ascend, stepping on others' heads, and engaging in unspeakable deeds.
These things, for the people of this era, are like poisoned chicken soup.
Now, thinking back, he himself was once infatuated with what others said. Looking back now, he truly felt like a very foolish person!
"The only way is strategy; having no choice is your path," the Divine Stone told Ye Tiancheng. "The path of evil also requires immense fortitude. After all, the people of this world have been deeply harmed by poisoned chicken soup, and they will definitely regard you as an enemy."
"I know." Ye Tiancheng also deeply understood that cultivating the demonic path meant openly doing bad things, so being despised by everyone was a natural occurrence. Since he had already figured it out, he might as well embrace the darkness.
As he thought this, his body became even darker, and the darkness on his body became increasingly powerful. In response to this... Ye Tiancheng's heart was continuously filled with infinite darkness. That darkness was constantly spreading, and subsequently, his demonic core became even more powerful.
The darkness in his heart became incomparably powerful, and the resulting change was that his entire form was imbued with a black aura. This black aura was terrifying, but he felt it was nothing. After all, if one is accustomed to something, then the darkness will not bother their heart. Because he had long been accustomed to indifference, even death was no more significant than living.
The members of the snake tribe had become like pigs he kept at home. As long as they could create value for him, it was inconsequential. Because some people in this world are destined to be this way, Ye Tiancheng treated them merely as domestic animals. As he left, he also reminded the catfish demon tribe, hoping they could look after his livestock.
