Paradise of Demonic Gods-Chapter 1088 - Strife

“What are you saying?” Fang Xingjian looked at him. There seemed to be no horror, anxiety, or fear in his eyes.

This made the immaterial man feel very strange.

He met Fang Xingjian’s gaze and asked, “You aren’t afraid of me?”

“Why should I be afraid of you?” Fang Xingjian asked.

The immaterial man smiled and did not say anything. He changed the topic, “You’re called… Fang Xingjian, right? I’m very interested in your background. What relationship do you have with Li Anping?”

“Who is Li Anping?” Fang Xingjian frowned. This was not the first time he had heard this person’s name. When the evil god summoning ritual was held in the Imperial Capital previously, the warrior from the Evil God Tribe had mistaken him for Li Anping. In the end, Fang Xingjian had used his illusory arts to deceive the warrior into leaving this world.

“Li Anping… Haha…” The immaterial man laughed and said slowly, “The Silver Demonic God amongst the 13 demonic gods, the god who rules over the Country of Delusions… His name is Li Anping.”

Fang Xingjian’s brows furrowed. It was as if he had not expected this answer.

The other party continued on, “Actually, if we think about it, this is very normal as well. As the highest existence in the entire multivariate universe, the demonic gods’ powers radiate across countless universes. Traces of their existence can be seen almost everywhere, so your appearance isn’t surprising either.

“However, by the looks of it, you don’t know about your relation to Li Anping?”

The immaterial man looked at Fang Xingjian, and there seemed to be a hint of strange gleam flashing in his eyes.

Fang Xingjian stated, “I don’t know this Li Anping nor do I know what relationship he has with me.” He stared at the immaterial man and said, “Let’s talk about proper business. Why did you awaken and come meet me?”

The immaterial man stroke his chin. He was a little unclear about Fang Xingjian’s background.

Given his strength, millions and millions of stars would fall with a single thought from him.

Therefore, when he discovered that someone was bringing about large-scale changes to the developments and systems in the worlds which made up his body, he awakened a small portion of his consciousness to see what was going on.

This situation made him a little puzzled. He smelled the scent of demonic gods coming from this person.

It was as he had said earlier. In the multivariate universe, there were far too many living creatures that were related to demonic gods. The slightly stronger ones were blood descendants, members of the same tribe, creations, homogeneous existences, replicas, and so on.

The weaker ones might merely be traces left behind by the demonic gods, the repercussions from their thoughts, a shadow created from their intents, or even lives that had been tainted by the demonic gods’ radiations.

“Do you want this world?”

Fang Xingjian nodded, not intending to hide anything at all. He performed the Nine Lives Helix and entered deep into this world’s high-dimensional space-time, grasping the direction of the past and future of the timeline, so that he could control this entire planet.

The other party’s strength and realm were both deep and unfathomable. He was the strongest life form Fang Xingjian had ever encountered, aside from demonic gods. Therefore, he did not think that he would have the good luck of being able to keep his intention hidden from the other party.

Hearing Fang Xingjian’s affirmative reply, the immaterial man smiled. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you? Or rather, what makes you think that I’ll hand my world over to you?”

As the man spoke, Fang Xingjian could sense that the helix in the high-dimensional space-time gradually stopped drilling downward.

Simultaneously, all sorts of changes started occurring above the entire martial arts planet. People’s memories started to degrade.

All memories concerning Fang Xingjian started to become blurry. Deviations began to appear in their minds regarding the events that had happened in the past three years. Memories of the state of prosperity and the rebel forces gradually disappeared. It was as if three years’ worth of time was being slowly wiped out from their minds.

“Your martial technique… is called the Nine Lives Helix, right? Going through humans’ choices and group consciousness to control the direction of the future. It’s not a bad train of thought.” The immaterial man smiled. “But all of the lives in this entire world, the entire planet, and the entire land all come from me. When they forget about your existence, how will you affect the world’s future?”

Through Fang Xingjian’s senses, the surging Dragon Qis that came down endlessly were being depleted rapidly. The Nine Lives Helix’s influence on the group consciousness was being weakened to an extremely low level.

“The consciousness can affect matter through the physical body. Matter can also affect the consciousness through the physical body.” As Fang Xingjian said this, his body started to dissipate. He integrated with the surrounding atmosphere, into the mountains and rivers, and stepped into the pavillions.

His martial will seemed to integrate into the entire world like a drizzle of rain amidst a spring breeze.

He was the breeze that cut across the air in the summer night, as well as the was the drops of water which came up as the fish in the river leaped out from its surface. He was a stretch of rock that had been through tens of million years of wind and rain. He was even the twitching light and shadows that appeared at the instant matter changed.

Seeing Fang Xingjian’s disappearance, the immaterial man laughed, “You want to fight? Don’t be regretting this!”

In an instant, his figure seemed to also disappear immediately, leaping into every corner of this planet.

At the duo’s current realm, the battle between the two of them were no longer purely a competition of their moves, power, and abilities. Instead, it was a tug of war on the long river of time, countless strifes between the past and the future.

People’s memories gradually disappeared within a few hours. The people lost all of the memories that they had from the point Fang Xingjian descended to this world.

This method was simple and crude but also extremely effective. It made Fang Xingjian lose his ability to interfere with the group consciousness, causing his Nine Lives Helix to be unable of taking root in the depths of the world’s consciousness.

However, it was also because this method was too simple and crude that it left behind a large amount of flaws.

Memories might have been forgotten, but the material relics that had been left behind were still around. They continued to have tremendous influences on the entire world over the next few months.

Amidst the night breeze, an official rubbed his head as if sensing he had forgotten something important. At the next instant, as a soft breeze blew, a page from a book was blown all the way before him.

“What is… this? Great army rebellion? His Majesty and Marie battles on the Goddess Gorge?”

On the river, a fishing boat stopped next to the Goddess Gorge. With their eyes and mouths wide open, the people on the boat stared at the terrain that had undergone a huge change.

In the palace, Eunuch Wang shook his head, feeling puzzled. He kept having the feeling that he had forgotten something. Just then, a book fell off from the bookshelves.

He picked it up and discovered that it was a secret manual he had written himself. Upon reading its contents, his countenance changed drastically.

Within a few months’ time, similar things of varying degrees kept on happening across the entire world. Countless experts suddenly came to the realization that they had lost a portion of their memories over quite a long period of time.

With the discovery of all sorts of documents, traces, and remnants, the crimson helix once again entered deep into the group consciousness.

“You’ve done well, but it’s meaningless.” Amidst the night sky, a mumble seemed to be mixed in amongst the breeze.
