328: Pretty reasonable, right?

During this evolution, Chen De gained four new laws: Time, Void, Destruction, and Life.

As for his life form, he now mostly exhibits Dragon Phoenix characteristics.

Neither the trace of Apocalypse Divine Crystal Ant bloodline nor that wisp of Blood-Devouring Demonic Pattern Beast bloodline could even hold a candle to the Dragon Phoenix.

Ordinary demon beasts yearned for ancient bloodlines, while ancient demon beasts yearned for Dragon and Phoenix bloodlines.

Even the unknown entity Chen De developed was far inferior in terms of hierarchy.

The Heaven Forsaken Demonic Spider was on the same level as the Dragon and Phoenix, but still slightly inferior to the Dragon Phoenix.

Finally, there was the Evil God Essence, which was definitely stronger than the Dragon Phoenix.

However, it would neither change Chen De's form in any way nor bring him any new skills.

Only the prefixes 'Evil God' and 'Dot' were added to his name and cultivation technique.

What Chen De could utilize were merely the innate characteristics it provided.

Therefore, Chen De's current body and skills predominantly lean towards the Dragon Phoenix's form and characteristics.

Of the six great demon beast bloodlines, he possessed three, making it so that no demon beast in the demon beast world could contend with Chen De.

Now that Chen De had the strongest bloodline, the next step should be the strongest power; he wanted to plant the Holy Mother Sect's flag across the entire Four Profound Heavens.

He wanted to spread the heart of benevolence and morality to every living being.

So now, Chen De faced a dilemma.

To return or to stay.

Returning had its advantages, and staying also had its advantages.

In truth, for the current Chen De, whether he stayed with the human race or the demon race made no difference to him.

After all, he now relied on devouring small worlds to gain attribute points.

After much thought, Chen De had a good idea: to kill his way back!

By killing and devouring small worlds along the way, he would soon become invincible in the Four Profound Heavens.

As for laws, they were indeed a major source of attribute points.

Chen De also understood that the confrontations in the Demon Emperor Realm relied on laws.

Without the blessing of laws, all strength was like foam, easily shattered when faced with law suppression.

He recalled his battles against Ao Qi and Huang Xue; ultimately, it was because his comprehension of laws was inferior to theirs that the fights were so arduous.

He only defeated them in the end by relying on the power of the Evil God Essence.

Therefore, although laws were resource-intensive, they were an indispensable aspect to improve.

If possible, increasing the number of laws might also have some benefits.

However, now that he had broken through, the number of small worlds capable of satisfying his next level up would be far fewer.

For example, for the Heavenly Dome Continent, Chen De would probably have to devour the entire continent to level up now.

Immediately, Chen De stopped thinking and decided to just start devouring to see how many levels he could gain along the way.

Suddenly, Chen De thought of the Earth Immortal Realm—the Earth Immortal Realm he had once mistakenly entered.

The top-grade spiritual herbs there grew like weeds on the ground, completely ignored.

If Chen De could devour there, he dared not imagine how many levels he could gain.

Perhaps, he should take a look?

Just one look!

...

"Who exactly are you?"

"Why, why did you destroy our world?!"

This was a young man, who at this moment was roaring heartbreakingly at a figure in the sky.

Around him, there were corpses everywhere, and the blood that flowed had already congealed in some places.

He had personally witnessed his father being stomped to death by this figure.

His mother's head, with wide, angry eyes, merely rolled on the ground.

As for his wife and child, only half of their faces were found amidst the wreckage.

All other parts were mixed with the flesh and blood of their clansmen, making them indistinguishable.

His grandfather, the strongest in the entire family and indeed the entire world, still held the posture of pointing his spear at the sky, but in reality, he had long since ceased to breathe.

Just half a day ago, everything was so beautiful.

Everyone lived together harmoniously, until half a day ago, when this blood-colored figure descended.

Hearing the young man's roar, the blood-colored figure emitted a golden glow, appearing incomparably sacred.

From within, Chen De's face emerged, full of compassion, his tone filled with sorrow for the world.

He lowered his head, glanced at the young man, and sighed softly, "Alas, poor soul!"

"Ah ah ah!"

Seeing his appearance, the young man's face suddenly turned ferocious, and he roared as he charged at Chen De.

However, his body had barely risen halfway into the air before it began to become illusory.

In the blink of an eye, the young man, with a heart full of unwillingness, completely vanished from this world.

"Calamities sent by Heaven may be forgiven, but those brought by oneself are impossible to live through!" Chen De shook his head, sighing twice in regret.

He was the embodiment of the righteous path; attacking him was indeed an act of wickedness.

However, this child was completely unaware, truly deserving of death.

It was only Chen De, with goodness in his heart, who felt a moment of pity.

Looking at the emptiness here, and thinking that the guardian of this world had died due to his wicked deeds.

Then, it would be up to him to temporarily take custody of this world.

Of course, it was merely custody, with absolutely no intention of claiming it for himself.

As long as another Demon Emperor Realm cultivator appeared within this world, Chen De guaranteed he would immediately return the world to him, without the slightest reluctance.

"As for now!" Chen De thought, he couldn't stay here forever; there were so many good deeds waiting for him to do.

Since that was the case, he would first gather the animals and plants of this world and keep them under unified custody.

To prevent them from encountering any danger when Chen De was not around.

Again, if a new guardian appeared, Chen De would immediately hand over the world and its beings to him.

Otherwise, Chen De would take on a little more responsibility and look after them himself.

And so, Chen De set up the Three Gates... the Three Saint Array!

Namely, Saint Spirit, Saint Blood, and Saint Soul!

He stored them separately in the most suitable forms.

Marks integrated into the sky of this world.

Countless streams of light converged into a three-colored ocean, surging wildly towards the center of the great array.

"It seems the enthusiasm of the beings in this world is very high!" Chen De laughed happily at this sight.

See, this was his reputation; knowing that he, the Supreme Holy Mother, had arrived, everyone was eager to welcome him.

Soon, the entire world turned a golden yellow, with the sun high in the sky and not a single cloud.

Golden and shiny, truly adorable!

Finally, all the streams of light converged into a three-colored source... a bead, under the effect of the great array.

This was a special storage treasure, after all, there were so many people, and there would always be times when he couldn't take care of everyone; they couldn't all follow Chen De around, could they?

Then, Chen De opened his mouth wide and swallowed the bead, after all, keeping the bead inside his body would better protect them, right?

And then, Chen De's cultivation broke through, successfully reaching the second level of the Demon Emperor Realm; after all, having done such a great good deed, it was only reasonable for Heaven to reward him with a cultivation breakthrough, right?
