214: Heaven's Chance, the Tree of Justice

Daogang Mountain.

When immortals fight, ghosts suffer.

Among them, Sun Ran, the War Soul Dao, directly achieved a Breakthrough in strength the moment Soul Guide Mountain was destroyed.

He directly went from Golden Core to Combined Peak.

Countless Souls appeared around him, forming a battle formation that forcibly pulled him into the interior of Daogang Mountain, saving his life.

Jiang Yu was almost on the verge of collapse from the torment, but the Nether River Old Ancestor used powerful means to also bring him into Daogang Mountain, saving his life.

In the aftermath, the most tragic was Nangong Lengyu.

She was barely holding on, relying only on the Desire Succubus mask on her face.

Soon, she wouldn't be able to hold on any longer!

Her purpose in coming here was to take her father's main Soul from Soul Guide Mountain and revive him!

The world was utterly dark; without her father, when would the Righteous Path descend?

But she hadn't expected this journey to be so terrifying!

Her demonic power couldn't hold up at all!

Didn't they say demons were the most terrifying?

But why were they so vulnerable now?

If you are so powerful, why didn't you eliminate those Devil Heads who plagued the common people before?

At this moment, she suddenly remembered what Zhi Yuan had once told her.

"Don't have too high expectations for anyone; every Soul in this world is half-human, half-ghost. If you get too close, no one can see clearly!"

"It's like those high and mighty figures, don't they know the Devil Head's weakness?"

"But if there were no Devil Heads in the world, who would worship them?"

A hint of self-mockery appeared in Nangong Lengyu's eyes.

"What is Righteousness? What is Devilishness?"

"I was too one-sided..."

She was about to collapse!

Suddenly, the Righteous strength she inherited from her father began to merge with the Desire Succubus mask.

One side was enchanting, the other was awe-inspiringly Righteous.

At this moment, deep in her heart, she completely accepted the Desire Succubus's Devilish Qi.

The mask gradually flew towards her Dao Heart, becoming her brand new Dao Heart!

Her Aura was constantly breaking through.

Body Integration!

Righteous Path Law (Incomplete)! Desire Law (Complete)!

Instantly, the injuries on her body were completely healed by the surging Devilish Qi.

Looking at the great gods fighting in the center of the arena, Nangong Lengyu didn't hesitate and directly flashed into the interior of Soul Guide Mountain.

Although she could now withstand the aftershocks.

But the Devilish Qi she owed was getting more and more.

Jiang Lin's figure had already unconsciously appeared in her mind...

As soon as she entered the interior of Soul Guide Mountain, she saw a figure from afar.

That figure was surrounded by rippling water, and his eyes were filled with endless malevolence.

She didn't hesitate and chose to conceal herself directly.

The person's appearance gradually emerged, and it was somewhat similar to Jiang Lin.

Jiang Yu!?

Jiang Lin's younger brother!

How could he be here?

"Old man, tell me quickly!"

"How exactly do I activate the Nether River Origin?"

In his Soul, that voice said: "First, use the blood of the person you brought to fill the entire Daogang Mountain, then activate the 'Nether River Heart Sutra' and sacrifice all the Soul Stones of the entire Soul Guide Mountain!"

"Remember, that person absolutely cannot die during the bleeding period!"

Jiang Yu frowned and nodded: "Got it. Don't lie to me. If you dare to lie to me, I'll send people to drag you out when I go back!"

The next moment, a young man appeared out of thin air in his hand.

Jiang Yu waved a green light, and blood began to flow from the young man's body.

Immediately after, Jiang Yu disappeared as he circled the border of Daogang Mountain.

A hint of a bitter smile appeared in Nangong Lengyu's eyes as she hid, and Zhi Yuan's words once again echoed in her mind.

"Who is more outstanding, Jiang Lin or Jiang Yu?"

"You must have your own judgment. Don't listen to what others say. You must use your own methods to find the answer and then judge for yourself!"

So that's how it was!

In the eyes of outsiders, Jiang Yu was gentle, refined, upright, and kind, far surpassing that tyrant, Jiang Lin!

Now it seems, he's truly not as straightforward as a 'bad person' like Jiang Lin, who is thoroughly bad.

However, is Jiang Lin truly bad?

Thinking of the young man holding the Xuanyuan Sword and fighting the Demon Venerable to the death, she was confused!

How is he now?

He clearly rushed to the front line for the stability of Kyushu, but why is no one caring about him anymore?

What on earth happened in this world?

Father, setting things right, I truly can't handle it!

Now, I can't even do the most basic discernment of people!

No, I don't even understand myself anymore!

I clearly disliked Jiang Lin so much, but now I miss him so much in my heart!

I want him to ravage me...

[Ding, Heavenly Dao Opportunity triggered!]

"What sound is that?"

Have I completely failed to suppress the Desire in my heart and started hallucinating?

[Explanation 1: The Great Era is approaching. The Heavenly Dao, based on the Laws of the world, randomly selects several fated individuals and bestows upon them Heavenly Dao Opportunities!]

[Explanation 2: This System is derived from the Heavenly Dao and is a Heavenly Mandate Opportunity. Only the host can hear the voice!]

[Explanation 3: The host, with a righteous heart and a determination to set things right, has triggered the Opportunity 'Tree of Righteousness'!]

[Do you want to become the Tree of Righteousness? Do you want the Light of Righteousness to shine upon the earth?]

[Then take root in the darkness!]

[The deeper your roots extend into the darkness, the more power you gain to uphold Righteousness!]

[Task Details: Choose a direction to degenerate. The deeper your degeneration, the more and stronger means of Righteousness you will obtain!]

[Option One: Slaughter, build a Hell on earth!]

[Option Two: Become a Demon, achieve the true Devil Head!]

[Option Three: Enslave, make all living beings your slaves, achieve the number one of all ages!]

[Ding, does the host accept this Opportunity?]

[This Opportunity completely follows the host's voluntary principle. Except for the confidentiality clause (this System must not be disclosed to the outside world, otherwise it will immediately Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering), there are no negative penalties. You can choose to give up this Opportunity at any time, and the rewards obtained in the early stage will not disappear!]

[All the above terms are bound by the Heavenly Dao, please rest assured, host!]

At this time, Nangong Lengyu tried her best to cheer up and carefully studied each sentence.

Tree of Righteousness?

Why must it be blackened??

Is this what my father meant by 'If I don't go to Hell, who will'?

"I accept!"

"For Righteousness, I am willing to degenerate!"

"Let me bear the darkness!"

"As for the choice..."

"I choose the second option!"

Nangong Lengyu's eyes were hazy, but a hint of determination was still revealed within them.

The first option, slaughter, she was unwilling!

If everyone is killed, what good is Righteousness?

The third option, enslave all living beings?

I want equality for all living beings; enslavement is not my wish!

As for the second one,

In her mind, she thought of Zhi Yuan's words at the time.

"Demon cultivators, devouring emotions, strengthening their bodies, breaking through the barrier between immortal and mortal, why is this not a path!"

"The world treats demon cultivators like rats crossing the street; I think that's biased!"

"Among them, like the Desire Succubus, I think it's fine!"

"One can cultivate immortality through Bloodline, or through Desire,"

"It's just about finding a suitable Dao Companion!"

"But, it must be suitable enough. It is said that succubi have very strong needs!"

"If the Dao Companion doesn't provide the corresponding Desire needs, they will be sucked dry!"

"Conversely, if the succubus cannot satisfy her Dao Companion while collecting Desire, they will exhaust all their efforts to satisfy the other party, reaching a state that can be called Yin and Yang balance!"

"This is more like the ancient Dao of Balance!"

Nangong Lengyu said firmly: "Just the second option!"

"Become a Demon, achieve the true Devil Head, Desire Succubus!"
