My Hair Can Create a Demon Country-Chapter 465 - 451: Betrayals in Succession

"Sit."

"Yes." Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable sat down carefully, fawning and fearful.

Afraid that the other would settle scores with him after the event,

After all, he indeed conspired with the Venerable of Creation to rebel against him, and even at the time threatened to kill this hidden manipulator of his 40-billion-year life.

"No need to be overly cautious."

Celestial Venerable Wen Ce merely smiled, clearly understanding...

This is just how people are.

They’re like those gamblers in the mortal world, poor and destitute in their thirties and forties, with broken families, only able to drink excessively in a shabby rental room, constantly intoxicated with alcohol, thinking that their life is already over...

—If only life could start over again.

—If life could be restarted, I would definitely study well and not be so idle.

But in reality, even if given a chance to return to their high school days at fifteen to study seriously, they would still tread the same path.

Even if they try to work hard in the first few years of rebirth, they quickly give up, thinking they’re not cut out for studying, gradually indulging again, drinking, fighting, committing crimes.

Ultimately, many end up as they were before.

"People are just that kind of animal."

Celestial Venerable Wen Ce looked at this timid old man with a serene expression.

If they truly wanted to change their life, they wouldn’t think of going back to the past to change it, but would instead start changing—quit drinking, quit gambling, find a job right now. If they can’t do it now, how would they manage in the era of youth?

Their cowardice and fear of death are carved into their bones.

"Humans and gods are the same in this way."

Wen Ce smiled warmly, helping up this foremost divine demon of the Cosmic Era of Thought-Cutting—Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable, murmuring in his heart, "Because gods are also humans, divinity and demon nature are both human nature."

He helped up this old Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable,

In his eyes, this unrivaled overlord emperor, renowned throughout the Cosmic Era, was merely an elderly, death-fearing mortal in his twilight years.

"What about us?"

Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable murmured, his lips trembling.

"No rush, let’s wait for a while."

His destitution deepened Celestial Venerable Wen Ce’s smile, "Alright, no worries, I won’t settle scores with you after the event. After all, we’re back to the beginning, aren’t we?"

Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable remained silent.

He has completely despaired, believing he has failed the youthful fervor of the Venerable of Creation, failed the life shared with the Summer Celestial Venerable, their opportunity to change the "past."

They did so much for him, sending him back 40 billion years to the past, to change everything, yet he still betrayed, repeating past mistakes.

But how could he not betray?

There’s no hope!

How could there be hope!

His heart was filled with immense bitterness, having seen the true terror, the utmost despair. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Even if given another chance, they couldn’t overthrow this decayed ruler, he knew there wasn’t even a 1% chance of success, so he admitted defeat, opting to save his life instead of resisting.

Choosing to live on.

He comforted himself this way.

While he waited, moments later, a figure appeared successively under the great tree.

"Indestructible? Why did you also go behind my back..."

Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable’s pupils widened, revealing an expression of realization.

Before he could speak, Chen Celestial Venerable and Void Celestial Venerable arrived one after the other.

They exchanged glances, very surprised.

How did each one of them sneak over?

Apparently, these four Celestial Venerables, drawn in by the Venerable of Creation after their decay, former allies, had all come.

"As expected, you four were the fastest."

Celestial Venerable Wen Ce smiled, holding up a cup,

But it was also expected, as they were originally fence-sitters, having decayed once before, more at ease than the younger Celestial Venerables, naturally quicker.

However, this must be said, is a huge irony.

Those previously led by the Venerable of Creation, determined to change regardless, have now again...

Is it worth it?

Creation?

He couldn’t help but ask, recalling the Celestial Venerable he couldn’t help but admire! That unprecedented figure!

This is simply not worth it!

They are merely those who go with the flow; you actually believed they would genuinely reform, but the moment they faced an unavoidable dead end, the first ones to surrender were them.

This is reality!

This is what is truly bloody!

"So, upon joining, the four of you are the same as before, a new Celestial Venerable alliance, secretly formed?" Celestial Venerable Wen Ce looked surprised.

The four Celestial Venerables had pained expressions, fully aware of the other’s mockery towards them.

The four of them have changed leaders again.

"Haha, hahaha!" Celestial Venerable Wen Ce suddenly laughed, pulling out a contract, "Ladies and gentlemen, take a look. If there are no errors, we will stride towards a beautiful future together, building the entire universe for the wellbeing of all beings!"

The other Celestial Venerables inspected it carefully, finding no issues.

After all, given the importance, it was impossible to create problems here.

The contract was an alliance agreement—no mutual aggression, no plotting, no killing...

However, one point caught the Celestial Venerables’ attention.

Indeed an alliance, but it did not say they couldn’t decay?

No mutual harm, but it doesn’t mean they have to always consider all beings together in the alliance that can decay!

It’s foreseeable that even the young, passionate Celestial Venerables who join would, with time and subtle influence, be deliberately guided to become like them.

Proximity to vermilion makes one red, to ink makes one black.

"It seems there’s no hope. It will revert to that decaying Celestial Venerable era."

Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable sighed, feeling secretly guilty, thinking to himself, "Also, this contract only limits this era, while the next era needs to be re-signed..."

Soon, they signed the contract.

"Happy collaboration." Celestial Venerable Wen Ce stood up, suddenly seeming to remember something hesitantly, "Then, how do we deal with the Venerable of Creation??"

"Him?"

Primordial Longevity Celestial Venerable was instantly moved, tears falling slowly, sorrowfully, "He was a dear friend from our pasts, but today we must send him on his way. His death is necessary for us heroes to triumph, to start the new Buddhist Era of the universe, for the Prosperous Dynasty of all beings!"

As he said this, he clenched his fists, tears streaming down his face.

"Yes, that’s the expression!"

Celestial Venerable Wen Ce applauded, very satisfied with their performance,

This scene seemed familiar, only their opponent had changed to the Venerable of Creation, roles reversed.

...

Fu Qingjun observed in the shadows, his eyelids twitching wildly.

Goodness,

Truly, goodness,

I just knew you four were traitors; the moment you realize the situation isn’t tenable, you surrender?

"Double-dealers, refers to you."
