“Sect Master Shen!” The child’s voice was softer and gentler once again. He looked extremely nervous. “I am Chen Ge. Quick, help me to dispel this demon from my body. It has become one with my own mental demons. I cannot get rid of him on my own.”

“Chen Ge?” Shen Ying asked, staring blankly at him. “Who are you?”

The Celestial Emperor Chen Ge: “…” I am the owner of this entire mainland afterall. Am I really that unpopular?

“Hahaha…” Just as he began to explain, his voice changed once again and he laughed maniacally. “You think this Earth Immortal will be able to stop me? Don’t forget that we’re in the demonic realm now. She might not even be able to protect herself. An Earth Immortal can’t even handle an average demon, much less the demon king in this realm.”

“Demon King? You mean him?” Shen Ying stepped aside and pulled the demon – who had been hiding behind her, timid as a sparrow – forward..

The two personalities: “…”

“Little Black, see what’s wrong with him.” The child looked fine the day before. Why did he suddenly have a split-personality disorder now?

“Yes, Great Immortal! No problem, Great Immortal!” The Demon King pulled up its sleeves and walked toward the child. It could not help but steal glances through the gates to the other realm.

For billions of years, the gates of the demonic realm had stayed resolutely closed. This was the first time the Demon King saw it open, and the immortal realm lay on the other side. That was the realm that the demons have been wanting to enter all this time. Yet, they never could have because of the gates. Some demons managed to allow shreds of their consciousness to break through into the immortal realm using special means. Of course, those were the lucky ones.

But now… the gates were really open.

The Demon King’s heart leaped. Then, it turned around to glance at the woman standing next to it, and felt the excitement leave him as quickly as it came.

It might as well be closed!

Ning Zi’an felt a huge surge of demonic Qi rush toward him. Both of the personalities inside his body fell silent. He felt the demon in front of him suck the demonic Qi out of his body. The force bearing down on his body was almost unbearable.

The demon’s face was swollen and covered in bruises now, but he… was very strong! Extremely strong. Even the Celestial Emperor Chen Ge, at his peak, would not be his match at that moment!

He… is really the demon king!

The Demon King scanned the child on the ground with his eyes very briefly. He already understood the child’s situation. For fear that the Great Immortal would think he was being slipshod about his work, he reached out and touched the child’s forehead, using his divine perception to peer inside his mind.

Huh?

He hesitated. There was a Rebirth Seal.

“Reporting to Great Immortal!” The Demon King sniggered and reported every detail to Shen Ying, “This little… little friend’s soul is carrying a demon. The demon incubated in his body and merged with his mental demons. Now, the demon is waging war against all the good thoughts and consciousness in this child’s body, fighting for control.”

“This is nonsense, isn’t it?” Who couldn’t tell that he had a split-personality disorder? “I’m asking where this demon came from?”

The Demon King jumped and lowered his voice immediately. “I… I’m not sure about this either. Demons arise for many reasons. What’s more, the demon in this child was there from the moment he was born. There’s no way to find out how it appeared now.”

“You mean… he was born this way?” She had never heard of anyone who suffered from split-personality disorder at birth!

“No!” The Demon King shook his head. “It was not there since birth, but it was there since his past life.”

“What does that mean?”

“Great Immortal!” The Demon King pointed to the child excitedly. “There is a Rebirth Seal inside his divine perception. This means that he did not go through the rebirth cycle off the Three Realms. The child was an immortal in his past life and the demon planted itself in his body in that life, but the demon only became fully grown recently.”
