Chapter 1477: Chapter 1060: Bro, You Got Disconnected

Jiu Mu, oh Jiu Mu, your beloved brother Yun Li is right here!

No wonder Demon Lord Yun Li is lively and interested in everything. Anyone who has been sitting at the World Core day after day, unable to leave the earth steps, would seize the rare opportunity for their soul to venture out, and indulge themselves.

"Where is Yun Li now?" Jiang Yuan understood, Xuanyuan Yangguang was attempting to indirectly save the Wilderness.

The issue is, as the Demon Lord quietly disappeared, the Demon Realm became increasingly unstable, "Do you know, after Yun Li disappeared, the Demon Realm established a Regent Throne, and they pursued Jiu Mu, causing her to hide in my small courtyard, not daring to go anywhere."

Xuanyuan Yangguang’s mouth twitched, he glanced guiltily at Lu Ya and whispered, "Lost it. Let me tell you the details, Lu Miss and I are trapped here and cannot leave, Daoist You might be able to help find it if there’s a chance."

Lu Ya was lively and combative, making a great success out of mixing in various Little Worlds in the Human Realm.

After acquiring a magical Puppet, she suddenly thought to use this brand new "substitute" to visit other worlds.

The Netherworld is full of ghosts, and the Puppet Body cannot devour ghosts or learn Ghost Cultivation Techniques, so she had to settle for the next best option and target the Demon Realm.

Sure enough, relying on the Puppet’s own peculiarity and Lu Ya’s strong Soul Power, the Puppet named Yun Li quickly secured a foothold in the Demon Realm and acquired many Demon Cultivation Techniques for refinement.

The mysterious collapse of Little Worlds isn’t a secret in the Cultivation Realm, she always wanted to explore the mysteries within it.

Hearing rumors about encountering the fragments of collapsing worlds on the edges of the Demon Realm, Yun Li rooted herself in that area. Her daily activities included cultivation, exploration, and occasionally rescuing one or two cultivators drifting on world fragments.

Most were humans or demons, occasionally even fragments from the collapse of Little Worlds in the Demon Realm, and Yun Li welcomed them all.

Over the years, she saved at least several hundreds of lives; Lan Shanying was one of them. No matter how marginal, it was still Demon Realm territory, people or demons rescued needed to be sent to a place where they could survive.

During Yun Li’s travels, she heard all sorts of tales about demon cultivators and humans, demons.

Later, through the Puppet she gathered intelligence, learning that Heaven-Reaching Wood could be found in the Human World, and climbing it would directly reach Kunlun Void. Lu Ya personally traveled a long distance to the Deserted Island, residing at Shuiyun Lake, starting a new round of exploration.

The Puppet, without extra soul energy, was hidden in the Demon Realm under the guise of "seclusion."

Until she replaced the world sprout to guard the Human World Core and steadily caught the falling Wilderness World Core, meeting and becoming acquainted with Xuanyuan Yangguang. Together, they tried their best to merge the two worlds steadily.

During idle conversations about the past, Xuanyuan Yangguang learned that her Puppet was in the Demon Realm, so he planned to use the guise of a Demon Realm invasion to force a massive migration across the Wilderness. Once the Wilderness was void of refugees, Lan Shanying could wield his absolute control, purify the Demonic Energy, and welcome the return of the Human Race.

Thus, Lu Ya lent him the Puppet for use, and the new Yun Li became active in the Demon Realm once again.

Although the Puppet could refine cultivation techniques actively, it wasn’t a genuine cultivator, and its power level depended entirely on the soul strength that entered it.

The stronger the soul, the naturally stronger the power.

Xuanyuan Yangguang had much more cultivation, experience, and encounters than Lu Ya. When he controlled Yun Li, he not only effortlessly planned for the Demon Lord position but also had the extra energy and time to explore more unknowns.

It was during that time, through probing, he met Jiu Mu and borrowed her excellent Spatial Ability to locate the Ruins Realm.

Finding out that the continual expansion of the Demon Realm was due to a defect in the Heavenly Dao causing the deterioration of the Mortal World’s moral atmosphere, as desires and greed piled up excessively.

The Demon Race that should serve to purify was even worse off, with constant expansion and aggression leading to benefits making the Demon Kings and Lords increasingly selfish, depraved, and tyrannical. No one remained steadfast in their heart, and the world fragments that hadn’t been thoroughly purified accumulated in the Ruins Realm, clogging it up entirely.

"I know whether the Ruins Realm is cleared or not, has nothing to do with forcing the Wilderness above to drive away Demon Cultivators or Demon Beasts," Xuanyuan Yangguang sighed lightly and said, "Logically, I should just rely on sheer power to occupy the Demon Lord position and then work with Lan Shanying inside and out, waiting for the grand endeavor to succeed.

But as I traveled through the Demon Realm, I saw too many ordinary Demon Race oppressed and helpless to resist. They were just like mortals, yet not treated well by demon cultivators, turned into slaves generation after generation, arbitrarily abused and killed.

And the Yun Li I controlled, only managed to sit on the Demon Lord throne through extraordinary means, rather than truly conquering the entire Demon Realm. Opposition from Great Lords against Yun Li were everywhere, but unable to defeat him had to temporarily swallow their anger.

Thus, relying on conventional means to reform the Demon Realm’s deeply ingrained habits spanning tens of thousands of years is impractical.

I have been in the Demon Realm too short of a time, with not many talents available temporarily, so I gave Jiu Mu a territory. Let her first set an example, treat the territory’s Demon Race well, preparing for deep reforms in the future.

On the other hand, while ensuring the Demon Race invasion action on the Wilderness went steadily, I wanted to visit the Ruins Realm to find a solution from the root.

If the Ruins Realm isn’t congested, the continuously purified fragments can enter the reincarnation place to create a New World. This expands the exploration areas, increases opportunities, and slows down the Mortal World’s fall into greed and vicious anger.

Otherwise, the vicious cycle will become increasingly severe.

The Demon Realm expanding all the time, without the birth of New Worlds, will definitely lead to severe conflict with the Mortal World in the future. To the point where no Little Worlds can accommodate the spreading Demonic Energy, and the Demon Realm’s explosive upheaval might be too much even for the Celestial Gods to handle."
