Ch85 - I’ll lay out a bed in the Devil World and wait for baby to come and kill me (2/2)
“So? Does absorbing the resentment and unwillingness of those people help him? No matter how you look at it, it just makes his programming messier. Does he want the system to crash?”
“There can be no construction without destruction; if he doesn’t try, how would he know which path he can take?” Su Xuanyan kneaded Xue Ling’s hand as he spoke, “Don’t worry so much. He is someone who will die in any case. Let him toss and turn as he pleases.”

“Raising a tiger is bringing trouble to oneself. As villains, we definitely should not look down on our enemies. If one day he really succeeds, we will be caught off guard and die.”
“Fine then. Find an opportunity to kill him first and use it to help you evolve.” Su Xuanyan didn’t care much about Han Wuzheng because after all, there was not much time left for him. He had looked down on Han Wuzheng even back when he had been the main computer of this world, and had just circled around him for so long because he wanted to toy with him for a while. Now that Han Wuzheng wasn’t even the main computer anymore, he was even less scared of him. “Stop changing the subject.” Su Xuanyan narrowed his eyes as his raised his hand, withdrawing an invitation straight from Xue Ling’s inventory. “Baby, how about you explain this thing to me?”
“What thing?” Xue Ling also looked at him with a deep smile on his face, completely unconcerned about the thing the other party was holding. “Aren’t you the clearest about this? After all, you are the other leading character involved.”
“Ha.”
Although the NPC and players had been fighting fiercely during this period of time, it had only been one chaotic battle. Once some people died, the world had once again regained its balance, and the people who were left did not care about the differences between NPCs and players. They could accept both players and NPCs, and as long as they did not threaten their interests, everyone was willing make slight compromises and accept each other’s differences.
Only people like these were suited to survive on this land.
In fact, most of the sects that had not participated in the big battle this time had been preparing for something else.

If things had proceeded normally, the war between the righteous and devil’s path would only take place after the main storyline had been opened up to the end. But the plot was now a mess, and more people had come into contact with the main plot, causing the contradictions between the righteous path and the devil’s path to become more and more intense. The battle this time between the NPCs and players was in fact a precursor to the major war between the righteous and devil’s path. The invitation card that Xue Ling had been given to him by his brother disciples in the sect to deliver to other sects – an invitation to the devil slaughtering conference.
Since they were slaughtering devils, which devil they were referring to was naturally very obvious. This world’s devil’s path practitioners all worshipped the Venerable Sealed Devil.
Right now, the Lord Devil was in the midst of curiously opening up the invitation, holding back a smile as he said, “Didn’t your Ten Thousand Sword Sect only ever focus on sword cultivation? Why would they be involved in these muddy waters this time?”
“With Han Wuzheng there, these muddied waters cannot be avoided.” Xue Ling had no intention of hiding this matter from Su Xuanyan, regardless of whether he was the Venerable Sealed Devil or the lead disciple of Tianmo Gate, Su Xuanyan, as he would definitely be involved. “In fact, although they call it devil slaughtering, they don’t dare fight their way to your doorstep. At most they will make a move against the devil’s path cultivators, and there will be another great battle. Who wins and who loses will depend on ability.”
“And you?”
“Ah?”
“If I remember correctly.” Su Xuanyan’s deep eyes stared at Xue Ling, making a chill run down his back. He couldn’t help turning his head. “You entered the righteous path?” Su Xuanyan touched his chin and spoke with some interest, “Although, after spending so much time with my baby, I’ve really never seen even the slightest shadow of the righteous path on your body. Why were you so adamant about choosing the righteous path in the first place?”
“I was thinking.” Xue Ling tilted his head and did not look at him as he said, “If I really end up going up against the Sealed Devil, it would make more sense to kill him as a member of the righteous path.”
“So my baby had such lofty thoughts?” Su Xuanyan stretched an arm around Xue Ling’s shoulder, his other palm sliding down along his slender waist. “Now that this world is totally independent, there are no longer any restrictions~” His tone of voice was teasing, and his hand movements were very improper.
Xue Ling knocked his shameless hands away and said primly, “There is no good reason or excuse to rashly switch sides right now, so I will stay in the righteous path and act as a planted spy first.”
“Okay.” Su Xuanyan laughed affectionately. “I’ll lay out a bed in the Devil World and wait for baby to come and kill me.”
Xue Ling: “…” Can we shift the topic away from the bed???
Whatever the righteous path wanted to do needed to be laid out in the open and spread widely. Thanks to the main storyline, everyone knew the story behind the Sealed Devil. Most of the things this Sealed Devil had done could create a stir; there were many who called him evil, and many who hated him. This kind of person could make those who were fond of evil revere it even more, and could also allow those on the righteous path to seize all kinds of pretences in order to fight against the devil’s path cultivators in the world.
They did not dare to fight directly against that person from the Devil World, but they could still kill devil’s path cultivators. After all, their relationship with the Venerable Devil was one of one-sided worship, and the righteous cultivators could guarantee that the Venerable Devil did not care about these people’s life or death at all since he had always been on his own.

But Su Xuanyan did not plan to let them do what they wanted this time. After all, if the disparity in strength was too big, it would not be very interesting. So, he appropriately promoted the abilities of several leaders in the devil’s path. These people became strong enough to shake the world after they received their powers, and news that the Devil had appeared in the world quickly spread.
The devil’s way was given a big boost by this news, and morale was strengthened as cultivators of the devil’s path began to face this so called ‘devil slaughtering conference’ with more disdain and disgust.
After all, in the eyes of those following the devil’s path, those on the righteous path had always been hypocrites.
Following the original plot development, Thousand Miles Without Pause ultimately still chose the devil’s path, becoming the leader of the devil’s path players. Due to Xue Ling’s meddling, he had no chance to fall in love at all, so his level was particularly high amongst the players, and even compared to NPCs, he was also an unstoppable powerhouse.
Before the start of the devil slaughtering conference, Thousand Miles Without Pause met with Xue Ling, and the two talked about some things, but eventually split up unhappily. Xue Ling refused to agree to the other party’s invitation to betray the righteous path, and Thousand Miles Without Pause was determined to follow the devil’s path. Knowing in their hearts that they would both thoroughly refuse the other, they finally separated and went their own way.
Xue Ling had always been relentless in breaking relationships with people for whom there was no longer a need to maintain contact with.
Of course, all this delighted the man, so that when Thousand Miles Without Leave opened his mouth to ask Su Xuanyan why he didn’t try to make Xue Ling stay behind, his smile was affectionate to the extreme.

“Loving him, means letting him do as he wants.” He said it very simply, and appeared to be very open-minded, but in fact, the joy in his heart was something nobody else knew.
