The Prefect of Beiling City is located in the center of the city and was transformed from the original mansion of the city lord and is quite old.

However, its interior decoration has a unique style. In addition to many sect rules about the Five Desects on the walls of the Prefect's Mansion, there are also many agricultural tools, swords and various tools forged by Shanghao Ling Iron as decorations.

According to Wang Haitian's previous introduction, Beiling City is located in the north of Central Continent, on the edge of Qinglin Prefecture. To the north, it is the snow-capped Baishan Prefecture, which has the vast and endless Baishan Mountains, and several independent small countries live and reproduce on the other side of the mountain range.

The new country has not yet completely unified Zhongda, but it has already become the name of a central dynasty. Most of the small countries around that have not yet been incorporated are remote and cannot be reached.

Because it is located next to a branch of the Baishan Mountains, Beiling City is named after it. This place is rich in various high-quality spiritual ores, and also produces the "innate spiritual marrow" as strategic materials.

This precious spiritual material that appears in the large spiritual stone veins is one of the important raw materials for many advanced magic arrays. For example, the city-mopping array in Beiling City that may resist the descending thoughts of gods and demons, uses a lot of innate spiritual marrow.

Sitting on the chair of Lingyu Taishi polished and assembled with good jade, feeling the softness of good cashmere, Su Zhou picked up the evil thoughts of the demon god and swallowed it in one bite.

——There is no essential difference between the devil’s thoughts and evil spirits.

As the young man swallowed it, he felt the same taste as before when he devoured evil spirits.

A refreshing and sour smell that is a bit aggressive, like a high concentration of lemonade spreads, bringing a feeling of nighttime coolness in the body - it is very lively and seems to have a little activity, trying to erode the soul of the young man.

But soon, it was completely decomposed and swallowed, turning into threads of cool pure spiritual matter, absorbed by Su Zhou, strengthening its soul essence.

In an instant, Su Zhou felt that his perceived sensitivity to the power of wishes had improved a small step.

"Well, this smell..."

Open your mouth and let out a breath, and the black impurities were vaguely discharged.

Su Zhou narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and watched the breath dissipate unwillingly, and laughed softly: "So that's it, is this the origin of the demon god in this world?"

“It tastes pretty good.”

Although he was always told by his parents and relatives and friends not to eat strange things when he was away, it was not surprising to him that such things as evil spirits and demons were.

Just like crabs, eating too much is nothing.

Although the core power of the alive demon god is indeed more dangerous than the evil spirits that will be nurtured after the death of the strong, it is not yet at the point where he cannot control it.

The most important thing is that in this demonic thought, there are some memory fragments belonging to the "Dark Demon".

Close your eyes slightly, and Su Zhou calmed down.

What he felt was a "curse" that was far more pure than all evil spirits.

——In the ancient wilderness.

——There is a demon born from the heart.

In the ancient times when darkness shrouded the earth, the primitive civilization had not yet been born in the Tianyuan Realm. All living beings seek in the mist and fight against the heaven and earth.

Everything begins with flame. When the first life acquires the fire, allowing sentient beings to use flame to drive away wild animals, illuminate the territory, and explore the dark caves that they did not dare to enter in the past, the meaning of wisdom is ignited, and the ancestors of human beings raised torches and used light to dispel darkness.

But some things are unrelated to being ignorant because they cannot understand them. But when sentient beings become smarter and begin to understand the power of the world, their own power, and begin to consciously develop "fear" of many things.

The devil was born.

——Thunder, flood, drought, fire, earthquake, typhoon, extreme cold, cyclone, mudslide.

——Beasts, violence, war, curses, swords, betrayals, sacrifices, conspiracies, massacres.

The darkness is naturally in it.

Fear, curse, resentment... The process of wisdom development always has to face such natural disasters and man-made disasters. The growth of a race and civilization is to try to face all these disasters and try to solve them.

Therefore, in order to fight against these, people invented torches, houses, and united to form tribes, countries, and even extraordinary powers to practice.

But even so, it is almost futile.

The appearance of torches did illuminate the darkness.

But even so, the dark night is still terrifying.

It can even be said that with torches, one can be even more frightened.

Because of the contrast of flames, people can realize that darkness exists and eternal existence in places where light cannot shine.

And this is the origin of the "Dark Demon".

It is not the "demon god Daluotu", it is just the origin of the dark demon.

A fear of darkness, unknown, and danger hidden in shadows.

Su Zhou opened his eyes, his eyes were bright, and his strong and hot will rolled, breaking the endless darkness that surged in the demonic thoughts of that day like a big sun.

Although the quality of the devil and gods is very high, ordinary people will be slightly eroded by just exploring and perceiving, it is nothing to young people who are already on the road to celestial immortals.

"All living beings in this Tianyuan world have condensed into gods for countless years of fear and resentment about the unknown darkness - this is the essence of the dark demon god."

Putting his hand on the arm of the Grand Master's chair, Su Zhou whispered to himself and nodded thoughtfully: "There are not many fragments of memory in Daluotu. There are only some of the processes in which He condensed the demon seed and gave it to Zhang Tongqi, the remnant of Zhengyang, before. In addition, he can only analyze the demon thoughts themselves."

"But that's totally enough."

Now, he already knows.

The essence of the Nine Nether Demon Gods in this world is the fear and worship of all living beings.

In other words, it is the power of wish.

Their power is closely related to the degree of fear of them by sentient beings - if one day no one in this world fears darkness, no one fears the unknown at the other end of the deep and deep space, and no one worships it, but can look at it calmly and rationally, then the source of power of the "dark demon god" will be directly cut off.

If Su Zhou had just broken through the overlord level and did not have a good understanding of his Tianhun Karma position, it would probably take a long time to analyze it before he could understand this.

However, Su Zhou, who had already reconstructed all his magical powers through the world of reincarnation and determined the immortal path of "reform forever", easily saw through the essence of the demon god.

Because, this is a very familiar "road to immortals".

Incense becomes the way of shrine.

Or, like the dragon of judgment in the world of reincarnation in the past, it became a heavenly tribulation, a karma, and a path to the human gods of judgment.

The power of sentient beings gathers together to form a certain torrent of thought, and the gods settle in it, control the power of the torrent, and even turn into the torrent itself. After this, they completely escape from the ordinary body and become the life of vows that transcend ordinary life. If sentient beings' thoughts are not destroyed, the gods will not be destroyed.

Just like the Dragon of Judgment, even if the body of the dragon is broken and destroyed, as long as the people of fire and the people of wind are still worshiping the Dragon of Judgment and calling His name, then one day, He will return and be reborn in the world.

"However, the demons in this world are different from ordinary gods. Gods need clear doctrines to purify the beliefs of all peoples, so as not to be overwhelmed by the will, and it is difficult to select true fellows and lead the torrent of beliefs they are commanding."

"And the demons and gods are focused on fear and fear... They do not need fellows, they only need themselves. All living beings are their pastures, they do not need any fellows, they only need ignorance and continue to produce these curses."

After thinking for a moment, Su Zhou was surprised to find that although it sounded very evil, the way of the demon was unexpectedly a road with a rather spacious road ahead.

"Although it seems that as long as there is no fear of darkness in the world, or more popularizing street lights, flashlights, and various portable light sources, the source of power of the dark demon will be greatly weakened."

"But human cognition is a circle, and the more you know, the more you don't know."

Su Zhou knew very well.

The way of demons is a path that changes with the changes in the hearts of the world - it is very likely that the powerful demons now will become very weak in the future, while the weak demons now will become very scary in the future.

It's like a plague. If the plague is controlled by the demons and demons, then his power in ancient times would be absolutely powerful, even better than darkness.

But in modern times with advanced medical care, He will become weaker.

However, if there is another super virus or a new plague that is difficult to prevent, His power will be restored.

The same is true for darkness - the darkness in ancient times was just night, and modern people are indeed no longer afraid of the night, but they may fear the darkness in the deep universe...

Change with your heart, one after another.

Unless all sentient beings in the world can see through their own false thoughts and face all the huge strangeness and unknown calmly, the way of the demons will never be cut off.

"I originally thought that the fact that the land of the Tianyuan Realm absorbed the vitality of sentient beings was done by the demon god, but now it seems that it doesn't look like it."

"But I don't have many convenient tools in this world, and I don't know if it's because of the years of war and no people's livelihood has been developed, or because there are demons in secret..."

Slowly stood up from the Grand Master's chair, Su Zhou thought about the nature of the gods and demons in this world, while thinking about how to deal with them and weaken these enemies.

At this moment, he found that the local prefect Wang Haitian was standing at the door of the living room with a shocked face, staring at Su Zhou's face with his eyes fixed on him.

To be precise, it was staring at Su Zhou's mouth.

"Former, senior..."

Even the heavenly cultivator, his astonished gaze was hard to control at this moment: "Is it possible that you ate just now..."

"That's right."

Su Zhou's impression was quite calm about this prefect who was also dispatched to protect the people of the city as soon as possible. He replied casually: "It's the remaining devil's thoughts before, and the taste was a bit like lemon ale."

"How, have you informed me of the Central Committee of the New Country?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Haitian was extremely shocked and had no time to answer.

Let’s not talk about what lemon ale is, he is very clear about the thoughts of gods and demons, and knows how terrifying it is!

In the past, Wang Haitian had no surname or name.

He is a "slave born in the mine hall and his parents are "black mine slaves".

At the end of the Tianyuan Warring States Period, life was like grass. In order to fight against the increasingly fierce Kun Yao and the chaotic military and righteous soldiers from all over the country, the Zhengyang Kingdom needed a large number of new military equipment to expand the new army to suppress the domestic situation.

The central government allocated billions of spirit stones as funds to carry out new mining vein exploration and mining farm construction, but this book was used to purchase and produce the most advanced mining spiritual machinery and build the mining farm. Under the layers of exploitation by many officials, one out of ten is not available.

In the end, in order to complete the tasks assigned by the central government, many mines arrested displaced refugees, bought the lives of poor people who were almost unable to support themselves, and then brought them into the mines, who were not caring about even if they died, and sent them to the mines for exploitation as mine slaves.

Most mine slaves will spend their entire lives after entering the mine tunnel. They only have basic food and water supply, and they have to face all kinds of terrible underground dangers - whether it is too arduous labor tasks, the collapse of the mine tunnel, the attack of iron rats, or the malice caused by the mine slaves to steal food, they are enough to kill a mine slave.
