The Growth of a God

Chapter 350 - 20: Everyone Is Evil

"This... how could it be?"

Looking up at the Ancient Demon from an almost reverent angle, Meng Ji’s gaze revealed a trace of incredulity.

Because despite the distorted features, Meng Ji could vaguely see a trace of her own semblance on the face of that Ancient Demon.

"Ao!"

Xiaohai also seemed to notice the resemblance between the two, blinking in slight confusion.

"I think I probably know what’s going on."

After a brief moment of distraction, Meng Ji murmured as she came to a realization.

Then, before Xiaohai could react, Meng Ji’s silhouette disappeared and reappeared in an instant, directly flickering to the top of the Ancient Demon.

Sizzle...

At the moment of contact between Meng Ji and the Ancient Demon, those lost memories all flooded back into her mind.

Yes, it wasn’t that Meng Ji remembered those memories of the past.

But rather, those past memories returned entirely from the Ancient Demon’s body to her mind.

Because this Ancient Demon before her was not a Dark Life at all, but a form born out of the distortion of Meng Ji by the "Lord Cangbai’s" curse.

"So it is!"

With the return of those memories, Meng Ji’s gaze grew ever brighter.

As for the Ancient Demon beneath her feet?

Just like those hollow shells encountered before, its body began showing countless cracks.

A terrifying aura seeped through those cracks, twisting all matter and life it could come into contact with.

That was one of the four great curses of the "Lord Cangbai."

The curse entity that plunges this world into crisis.

The residual will and Power of the "Lord Cangbai" after his fall.

When this Power of Curse reappeared in this world, even the Tree of Life showed signs of being twisted.

Meng Ji knew clearly that once the Ancient Demon completely shattered into remnants, the Power of Curse, having lost its Sealing Container, would reappear in this world.

The "Lord Cangbai," who brought curse and destruction, would also be reborn through this.

Because the "Lord Cangbai" was essentially the Death God of this world, the Incarnation of the world’s Primordial Power.

Even powerful beings like the Six-winged Blazing Angel Raphael could only choose to seal, not completely eliminate him.

"To reseal him?"

Looking down at the cracking Ancient Demon beneath her feet, the once amnesiac Meng Ji hesitated unusually, having regained her former memories.

As if sensing Meng Ji’s hesitation,

the Ancient Demon, once transformed from Meng Ji, gently moved its eyeball, casting its gaze toward the still bewildered Xiaohai not far away.

.........................................................

Meng Ji’s Rebirth had been off from the very start.

Meng Ji was indeed an Immortal, but even the Rebirth of Immortals had rules to follow.

According to the information and messages previously revealed by Owo, Gor, and Cui Weng, it was almost certain that Meng Ji died at the crown of the Tree of Life.

Then the question arose, why did Meng Ji, after being reborn and losing all her memories, appear at the very place where she first descended into this world?

One was the crown of the Tree of Life in the central front world...

The other was the place of space-time intersection in the back world...

Even thinking about it, one would know that it’s absolutely impossible for Meng Ji to cross over both worlds in an instant, die at the crown of the Tree of Life, and then be reborn in the place of space-time intersection.

After obtaining the complete memories of her predecessor, Meng Ji gave an unexpected yet reasonable answer.

Meng Ji’s previous self had already completely perished.

The one resurrected afterward was actually a piece of flesh that Meng Ji had left in advance at the place of space-time intersection.

That was just a habitual fallback left by Meng Ji, which unexpectedly became a chance for her successful "liberation."

Back then, after climbing the Tree of Life with Owo, Meng Ji noticed the remnants of those Dark Lives that had evolved into their ultimate forms.

They were just as Cui Weng had described.

All the Dark Lives, including Xiaohai, were actually containers specifically used to seal the "Lord Cangbai."

Those Dark Lives crawling out from the place of space-time confusion would evolve and complete their metamorphosis through the continuous absorption of twisted souls, eventually growing into a vessel capable of sealing the "Lord Cangbai."

However, reality and theory always fall somewhat apart.

Those Dark Lives evolved into ultimate forms weren’t sufficient to truly seal the "Lord Cangbai," his curse still lingered in this world.

So, to accomplish the final sealing mission of the "Lord Cangbai."

New Dark Lives constantly crawled out of the place of space-time confusion, continuously evolving new forms and abilities.

The result of the continuous sacrifices made by these Dark Lives was those five cracked shell remnants witnessed by Meng Ji and Xiaohai earlier.

It wasn’t until Meng Ji’s intervention that the predetermined outcome slightly changed.

When Owo stabbed Meng Ji in the back and recklessly plucked the Fruit of Life,

The seal formed by the fifth ultimate Dark Life prematurely loosened, unable to hold until the arrival of the sixth Inheritor.

Under such circumstances, Meng Ji took it upon herself to undertake the mission to seal the "Lord Cangbai."

In fact, this was originally the reason why the "Spirit of Nature" summoned Meng Ji to this world.

Meng Ji, with her Immortal Body, was far more suited than Dark Lives to take on the role of "container."

And due to the characteristics of her Immortal Body, the previous failures of the five "Sealing Containers" were unlikely to happen.

As the facts have shown, the "Spirit of Nature’s" approach proved somewhat feasible indeed.

But it overlooked one critical point, which is, the "Immortality" of an Immortal is much more terrifying than imagined.

Or more precisely, the "Immortality" of an Immortal exceeds the understanding level of ordinary creatures.

The main body is used to seal and suppress the curse of the "Lord Cangbai," there’s no issue on the execution level.

The real critical issue was that as time went by and the curse continued, Meng Ji’s main body’s consciousness and memory began to perish, which the Immortal Body deemed as a form of death.

Therefore, although the body did not die and even perfectly sealed the "Lord Cangbai’s" curse,

the backup means Meng Ji had prepared in advance still took effect, resulting in the piece of flesh she left behind quickly growing into a new individual.

When the new Meng Ji came into contact with the Ancient Demon formed by her predecessor, the true Meng Ji returned.

"In this world... there are no innocents."

Standing silently atop the Ancient Demon, having regained everything, Meng Ji murmur softly with ease.

The primordial Demigods of this world are not innocent.

The "Spirit of Nature" that summoned Meng Ji to save this world is also not innocent.

It deliberately concealed the cost of sealing the "Lord Cangbai," deceiving Meng Ji who came with goodwill.
