Translator: LordbluefireEditor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian's heart trembled. This time, the scenes shook his mind again.

The young man from the immortal sect and that young man from the devil sect. Who was the immortal, who was the devil?

He didn't know. Right now, Qin Wentian was at a loss. During this time where he was in a daze, another two paths appeared before him, one immortal, one devil.

He was struggling in his heart. The struggle this time was even more intense than the previous time.

However at this moment, Qin Wentian suddenly thought of Qing`er and Qingcheng. Both of them were immortal cultivators and were in the immortal realms.

Also, he had many family and close friends who were all immortals. From young, he grew up in the immortal realms and stepped upon the cultivation path of an immortal.

This time around, he continued to follow his original heart and walked towards the immortal path.

An incomparably heavy pressure descended suddenly, wanting him to collapse. He was knocked down to the ground and rolled down from the stairs, but he quickly steadied himself and climbed up with great difficulty. The stairway was still there, so was the Devil Mountain. It seemed that he had been here forever.

”Am I back here again? If I chose the devil path, would I directly have reached the Devil Mountain?” Qin Wentian had a bitter smile on his face. Most probably, things wouldn't be so simple. He continued to follow his heart and advance up the stairway.

The Myriad Devil Sovereign was a totem of faith of the entire Myriad Devil Islands, a supremely high up existence. It's rumored that this stairway was formed from his will. In that case, those who could climb up and ascend the mountain should be because of their destiny.

There wasn't just him alone on the stairway, there were countless other devil experts attempting the same thing as him as well. These devil experts clearly would have a different trial for them, catered to each individual. From the instant he stepped upon the stairway, he would already be scanned by the will of the Myriad Devil Sovereign. It seemed like he had to choose for himself, to take the path of an immortal, or that of a devil.

Qin Wentian continued climbing, the flight of stairs seemed without end. He exhausted all his energy but still gritted his teeth and continued on. He has already began his attempt to ascend the Devil Mountain. Since this is the case, he can only advance, there was no retreat.

He didn't know how long he has walked. Right now, he basically didn't even have any energy at all. He could only depend on his powerful will to continue walking forward.

In fact, even his consciousness started to blur. It didn't feel like he was ascending the Devil Mountain but rather was in a dream instead. In that dream, he continued to cultivate assiduously, becoming extremely powerful. There were many transformations to the immortal realms and the Myriad Devil Islands, but things still remained the same with immortal cultivators cultivating the immortal path and devil cultivators cultivating the devil path.

Until one day, the immortal realms was invaded by the Myriad Devil Islands. There was a major power who conducted a cruel massacre. He witnessed an entire sect being annihilated, the devil experts were all cruel and tyrannical, slaughtering wildly without a care. Qin Wentian was incomparably enraged. He wanted nothing more than to kill every single one of them, leaving none behind.

This group of devil experts had no fear at all, tyrannically sweeping through everything in their path, killing everyone who blocked them. Qin Wentian was filled with so much hatred that he even want to slaughter the entire Myriad Devil Islands with his strength alone.

Finally, the massacres conducted ignited the fire of anger from the immortal realms. Major powers all gathered, pooling their strengths and started to attack the Myriad Devil Islands. They fought all the way in and a great war occured. This was an extremely brutal war. The Myriad Devil Island's forces were defeated again and again and they had no choice but to retreat to their last stronghold, the Devil Mountain.

A war of unprecedented intensity between immortals and devils. The immortals won in the end, destroying each and every island of the Myriad Devil Islands.

Qin Wentian's will transformed to the heavens and earth, he was able to see every corner of the Myriad Devil Islands. He saw immortal cultivators starting to plunder resources, slaughtering everyone or taking slaves on the devil islands. They acted the exact same way the devils did, in the name of justice, wanting to eradicate darkness completely.

In that scene, Qin Wentian saw many low-level cultivators being killed off effortlessly. He saw an ordinary family who were living in peace, yet was suddenly wrapped up in all of this and was subsequently destroyed. He saw all the cruelty and horrors of war, he even saw his friends, the Blackstone Devil King and his daughter, the third princess, Yan Yuruo.

The Blackstone Devil King gave his all, but was killed in a domineering manner. Yan Yuruo managed to survive due to her beauty, yet she was taken away under the name of justice. Qin Wentian turned pale, his heart pounded rapidly and he wished that this war would cease.

When he saw the devil experts killing people of the immortal realms, he wanted nothing more than to destroy them all. That was because he felt anger against a common enemy. However now when he saw the opposite, his heart started to doubt. When he saw the Blackstone Devil King and Yan Yuruo, the impact shaking his heart reached the peak because those two were his friends. Only when the war implicated those around him would he feel the most intense of impacts.

The deaths of those innocent people who cultivated the devil path, those ordinary families who were caught up in the war, did they deserve death? What was the difference between the group who invaded the Myriad Devil Islands when compared to the group of devils who invaded the immortal realms back then?

The scene continued, the Myriad Devil Islands were on the brink of destruction, with countless casualties. The ground was dyed in blood and the immortals started to occupy the Myriad Devil Islands. After which, those victors eventually began to fight, starting yet another war for more authority and power.

But this time around, no devils were involved, it was an internal warfare among immortal cultivators. Destruction was everywhere, new powers rose one after another. This was like an eternal cycle, with history repeating itself. The only things left behind were the bodies of the dead.

Qin Wentian was in a daze as he sighed. Right now, he was doubting the path of immortals, the path of devils and even doubting himself.

However at this moment, he realized that everything was just a dream. Time reversed and he returned back to the start, before the invasion of the devil experts began. Right now, he had unparalleled might and was able to control and direct the situation. The experts of the immortal realms invited him to join them in this war of justice, to eradicate the Myriad Devil Islands.

If it was before, he would join them with no hesitation. But now, he actually hesitated.
