My Hair Can Create a Demon Country-Chapter 404 - 390: Decay and Upheaval

Liu Luo is back, and after a long separation, they engage in idle chatter.

"But I can understand it."

Fu Qingjun leisurely scoops up his food in the cafeteria, eavesdropping with perked ears, "After all, it’s been hundreds of billions of years since they last met, so naturally, they’d be happy."

Fu Qingjun still feels a sense of the bizarre and surreal.

Their hundreds of billions of years feel like just a brief moment to me,

The prior event of the Great Xia Celestial Court and the destruction caused by the prehistoric great flood hasn’t been that long ago, but to them, it’s been such a lengthy, boring time that they had to endure it through slumber.

After all, almost all Saints, especially Celestial Venerable-level Saints, enter slumber when there’s nothing significant to attend to, leaving behind just a fragment of themselves to handle events outside.

The more experiences they amass, the longer they remain conscious, the more they’re overwhelmed by the vast torrent of chaotic information. Distractions, demonic thoughts, and various emotions rise, so slumber becomes a common method for Saints to alleviate the birth of demonic thoughts.

"Yet this is the wonder of the rules of time."

Fu Qingjun has witnessed it countless times, but still finds it exaggerated,

"The first time I sent Jiaxia back to the past, he ended up leaving me the legacy of the Great Xia Celestial Court in the future... The second time I sent Jiaxia back to the past, he became one of the ancient Celestial Venerables."

One could say that this rule of time doesn’t possess direct combat power, but it’s the most practical strategic rule.

However, they’re now speculating wildly about the grand trend, and they’ve come up with an innovative idea.

Fu Qingjun props his chin, musing inwardly, "Eras have life and death, like cosmic cocoons one after another, and to survive from the prehistoric cosmos to this era is truly not easy... Maybe I can pretend a bit?"

Mmm,

The suspicions of Jiaxia and Liu Luo are quite reasonable.

It’s indeed helped fill in some possibility for me.

However, the Divine Demon Night Banquet, Amiro, Hermes, Jiaxia... these tales need to wait until I’m stronger to share them with my subordinates.

"This matter can only be thought of for now; currently, I’m still very weak. Those Celestial Venerables are crazily trying to make me the scapegoat, lifting me high up and causing trouble for me, this issue still needs to be resolved."

If you’re lagging, you’ll get beaten.

"I still need to learn how to decay from these decaying beings, humbly seeking advice." Fu Qingjun secretly grumbles.

He never had the awareness of being some righteous hero from the beginning to the end.

He never considered himself some saint, daring to sacrifice everything for the masses; he always felt he’s just an ordinary person.

Inheriting the will of the Vortex Country?

That has already been passed to Jiaxia. Compared to me, just a salted fish, he is the most suitable man to become a hero, dignified, just, wise, and resourceful, with a line he won’t cross, always fighting against the decaying beings in the sky!

I’ve already found the most suitable successor for the Vortex Country, while I just need to continue to hide in the shadows.

Fu Qingjun continues eating, listening to their idle chatter. Clearly, the addition of a Celestial Venerable-level expert has elevated the Shushan Mahe civilization to one of the supreme Celestial Venerable-level civilizations.

Boom!

Time flies rapidly.

With Liu Luo’s help, they entered the Spirit Time House, beginning a frenzied practice to improve their realms.

Fu Qingjun also took the opportunity to sneak in, once again crazily cutting off delusions, continuously cultivating.

This time, he cut off delusions up to the thirteenth fold in one go.

The realm level of a mid-level Saint, and if multiplied by the demonic thoughts, then it’d reach the twenty-sixth fold realm, which counts as an upper-level Saint’s standard.

This realm advanced so fast that Fu Qingjun felt no real sense of it, but it made sense. As the Pot Carrier Celestial Venerable, the other Celestial Venerables still sent the world’s masses as his subordinates, providing cultivation resources for free, which practically solved the most troublesome matters.

And what follows is just a matter of waiting, but with the time management master Liu Luo, everything naturally falls into place.

"Seems like, at twenty-six layers, meeting others would just get me beaten by other Celestial Venerables, but it still barely enters the universe’s upper echelons." Fu Qingjun marvels, "And with the reclaimed Jiaxia and others, the combat strength on my side isn’t too far off from the old Vortex Country’s similar heights."

After all, the Vortex Country at that time was probably also at this kind of power level.

Fu Qingjun continues cultivating, quite able to endure it.

Time flies, and another seventeen years pass.

At this moment, the tranquility is suddenly broken as Liu Luo’s voice comes, "My other side has already returned."

Bailong laughs, "What’s the situation?"

Liu Luo’s face turns slightly black, saying, "The prehistoric development is beyond our imagination. There’s a huge good news, and a huge bad news."

"The good news is, we jointly suppressed, ambushed, and recaptured all the demonic thoughts, succeeding to an unimaginable extent."

"The bad news is, we encountered two Celestial Venerables who, having spotted our mistakes, demanded to join us. They expressed remorse, wanting to conspire against the Celestial Venerables above, overthrowing their old rule! They helped us capture the Demon Venerable too, that’s why we succeeded so smoothly..."

Bailong looks utterly shocked, "..."

Fu Qingjun also feels his mind go blank, "????"

Even as an outsider, he feels his scalp tingling.

Among the ten evil Celestial Venerables, two Venerable of Life joined, but now there seem to be two more?

"Is this a Matryoshka?"

Qin Hong can’t help but speak in his hometown dialect, "They switched camps again, and now they’re hopping over to our side? Are they still using us for internal strife?"

"How did they come across this? Weren’t the four Celestial Venerables who went back heavily guarded, not to be caught by others?" Bailong can’t help but ask.

Liu Luo props his chin, says, "We had no choice, we were avoiding those Celestial Venerables, secretly bypassing to jointly encircle the Demon Venerable. Although we did bypass them, who knew those two Celestial Venerables had their Demon Venerable already encircled once and hadn’t yet condensed, they themselves were pretending to be this era’s Demon Venerable."

It’d been mentioned before, there were impostors among the Demon Venerables.

But no one expected that even with the battlefield to encircle the Demon Venerable open, those Celestial Venerables were still pretending among them.

The reason for their masquerade was to act as Demon Venerables to ambush other Celestial and Demon Venerables, but they encountered our return through time, so they were discovered...

"What about reloading?" Tang Meng asked.

"Useless, for those conceptual existences, once you’re spotted by them, you can’t alter their memories by traversing the timeline."

"They remember in every spacetime, every timeline."

"But upon encountering them, if they want to escape we also can’t eliminate them instantly. If we don’t take them in, they’d surely inform the others, revealing our plan."

Liu Luo’s voice is hoarse, "So, they had to join in, which incidentally increased our power to capture all the demonic thoughts."

"The power indeed increased, but it corrupted us too." Tang Meng cried ruefully, "Ten, and four joined, is there still a play?"

At this time, a faint tremor shakes the void.

Summer Celestial Venerable steps out from the void with a dignified expression, looking at all presence below, "To overthrow them, in itself, is extraordinarily difficult. They are ancient and decayed, aware that overthrowing them requires grand destiny, so they follow the grand currents of the universe, like swimming fish, never going against the flow, adept at shedding the golden cicada’s shell..."

Emperor Xia Tian’s expression is grave, "Truly, such an against-heaven’s plan still encountered issues, we truly shouldn’t underestimate the Celestial Venerables. This cunning plot indeed faces unforeseen circumstances, unexpectedly encountering two who were impersonating Demon Venerables, plotting against others in the shadows."

"Hopefully, this unforeseen event has been anticipated by the Venerable of Creation." Summer Celestial Venerable sighs, his gaze sweeping past Bailong et al., giving Bailong a profound look, "Hermes reincarnated?"

"I’ll head off to convene a new secret Celestial Venerable meeting, see how Venerable of Creation discusses, then return to speak with you." His voice fades, and his figure vanishes from the spot.
