But Wang Jiu is different. With his comprehension, it is very likely that by observing the world, he could find a path straight through to the Void Realm. The various knowledge learned in the human world, although it is the accumulation of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of human civilization, whether it is ultimately a help or a hindrance to Wang Jiu, is really hard to say.

The accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years of humanity is indeed a huge treasure trove, but it undoubtedly also contains many poisons. What humans have comprehended is not necessarily the truth; it could also be fallacy. The process of humans exploring the truth is one of constant self-denial and self-renewal, and this process has accompanied the entire progress of human civilization, naturally meaning human civilization has never been absolutely correct.

Yet Wang Jiu can approach the truth from the very beginning.

A person like this would certainly not be entangled by external things, and it is even less likely for him to delay his cultivation because Zhao Chenlu is beautiful.

If not for the outbreak of the Immortal Demon war, which shifted Wang Jiu’s life goal from immortal cultivation to exterminating demons, the two of them might never have had further interactions.

So Zhao Chenlu did not resent the Immortal Demon war—even if the war took away most of her family, and even her own life.

So now, it’s been over ten thousand years since the end of the Immortal Demon war. Everyone, including herself, thinks it’s impossible to restart the war... So would Wang Jiu’s judgment be any different?

Under Zhao Chenlu’s nervous and expectant gaze, Wang Jiu remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"I used up the Demon-Pointing Sword, sending out a signal that the Demon Race absolutely cannot resist, but I received no response. According to the rules of the Demon Race, as long as any Demons still exist, they would inevitably respond to this signal, irrelevant of the will of the Demon Race itself, and even the Demon Emperor cannot be an exception. However, I received no response at all."

Zhao Chenlu’s voice was slightly hoarse: "So?"

Wang Jiu said: "So, there are still three possibilities. The first is that the Demon Race is extinct, so there is no individual to respond. The second is that the Demon Race has significantly evolved and no longer uses the past shared network. The third is that the Demon Emperor had the last laugh, and the shared rule I used is merely a joke to the Demon Emperor."

Zhao Chenlu was a little stunned: "It seems no different from before?"

Wang Jiu said: "Indeed, there’s no difference."

After speaking, Wang Jiu cancelled the Illusion Sword Technique, leaving only the pure white Sword Body.

"This was just the maximum intensity confirmation of information on the existing basis. Since I can’t get an answer, I can only accept the current answer."

"The current answer means..."

Wang Jiu said: "I will conclude that the Demon Race is completely extinct, and there is no longer any threat from the Demon Race in this world."

"Ah?" Zhao Chenlu was somewhat surprised; although this answer was what she had always thought, she did not expect Wang Jiu to think this way.

Regarding the Demon Race issue, the Celestial Divine Sword is known for its caution and even hypersensitivity. When everyone else thinks it’s safe, he still remains vigilant, and facts have proven his caution was never wrong.

So will his judgment be wrong this time?

"Of course it might." Wang Jiu said, "In fact, I’m never absolutely sure about being right. Every time I make a judgment, I know I might be wrong. Although all of you may think I am flawless, this flawlessness only pertains to humans. In front of the Demon Emperor, I am full of flaws; of course, the Demon Emperor seems the same to me. So we can both make misjudgments but can’t refrain from making judgments because of the possibility of misjudgment."

Zhao Chenlu pondered for a moment and nodded: "Understood, your relationship with the Demon Emperor is similar to mine with Shang Girl. So, have you now concluded... the Demon Race no longer exists?"

Wang Jiu said: "Yes, the Demon Race is completely extinct."
