Boom!!!

Above the nine heavens, a celestial waterfall gushed forth, and the dark tide of mutants rolled on, sprinkling down, gradually engulfing the sparse and dim white light. Amidst the roaring sounds, the Heavenly Origin Decree appeared fractured, one crack after another...

Riddled with holes.

Thus, the black rain fell, gradually submerging the entire broken city ruins.

It fell into Lu Changsheng's hands.

"Look, Tao Cheng, the filth of the mortal world, the evil in people's hearts, akin to the ocean."

Under the gloomy rainbow light, Lu Changsheng gazed down at the palm of his hand, curiously questioning as he stared at the drops of mutant essence that resembled poison: "Why do you, the Superior ones, not wish to take a look?"

Tao Cheng remained silent, still without words.

Only Lu Changsheng raised his head, bathed in the sinister rain, with the rainbow light expanding in the sky, becoming deeper and more eerie.

Thus, overlooking the world gradually enveloped by the rain, those surges of mutant madness that rose to the sky, no longer restrained, he laughed uproariously.

"I've always had one question."

That deep laughter spread from the sky, reverberating through Spring City, echoing in everyone's ears: "If this world was created by the Superior ones, then how did evil arise?"

"Until I finally figured out another question—not that people embrace evil, but that evil is forged by people!

Only those who cannot continue to live, who cannot understand, who find no way out, who cannot contain themselves, those are the ones who fall into evil...

But are these people created by evil?

Could it be that before that, what they received was not your Superior benevolence?!"

No one responded.

Only wails like tides, cries like thunder, continuously echoed.

The Sacrificial Master Saint of the Evil Cult raised his voice, questioning: "When the disaster first struck, it was the Federation that abandoned this place; when the mutation spread, it was the Security Bureau that opted for isolation; and what led everything to come to such a state, was your world, which you take for granted and pride yourselves on!"

Lu Changsheng raised his head, looking around, contemptuously spreading his arms, "Spring City, mutants, degeneration...

These are all things you discard.

But since you discard them, why can't they be left to those you do not tolerate?"

That moment, the vastness between heaven and earth became abruptly silent.

From above the vault of heaven, from even higher places, like thunderbolts, wrath and murderous intent fell, so cold.

"Haha, hahaha, hahahaha."

Lu Changsheng laughed loudly, hoarse and wild, eventually inquiring: "If the Superior ones represent the principle of this world, then wickedness should also be a part of the world!

Why then can't you tolerate me competing on the same stage with you?!"

Boom!!!

In an instant, as his aura rose, a violent pressure descended from between heaven and earth, as if to freeze everything together.

That was not a man-made intervention, but the instantaneous descent of extreme punishment when the iron law of the Superior was triggered.

Evil ascended, fierce lights and thunderbolts flashed.

Just between the projection of the Vortex and the present world, Lu Changsheng unreservedly revealed his own soul, accompanied by the vast flow of spiritual essence. The Evil Foolish of the Heavenly People, now nearly mad, furiously extracted infinite evil from between heaven and earth, and even...

Went one step further!

"No longer need Tao Cheng worry..."

"—All the evils of this world, I shall bear alone!"

The vast rainbow light suddenly dispersed.

Lu Changsheng's body disintegrated, mutated, and in an instant, transformed into an amorphous behemoth that vaguely outlined an eerie body, bathed in endless celestial waterfalls, shedding the old form.

Or rather, revealing its true form...

Seemingly made of bones and blood, a sacred image with four heads and three eyes, swirled interminably in purple, cyan and blue, completely different from the past, but that mocking smile on his face remained the same.

Thus, rooted in the present world, he reached out toward the Vortex.

Grasping through the air.

That instant, the massive Vortex above Spring City violently trembled, a mighty flow surging. Behind the Vortex, as if an enormous creature, at its last breath, disintegrated.

Thus, the dark Divine Essence flowed forth, falling, merging into his body, making that body more bizarre.

Sacred yet ferocious.

Now, in response to his call, those two slowly closing rifts in the firmament above reopened to either side!

After seizing the Divine Essences of several superior Mutated, he mutated himself into a superior Mutated!

Thus, using himself as an anchor, he mutated Spring City and rooted it in the present world!

From now on, Spring City would be the Vortex's extension in the present world, a Sacred Place for the Evil Foolish group!

No need to shrink and shackle like other superior Mutated within the Vortex beneath the present world...

He himself was the Mutated existence in the human world!

At that moment, in the silent world, Lu Changsheng raised his head, overseeing everything, and finally turned back to look at the dim light behind him where a blurry figure gradually emerged.

"It seems, I've won."

Lu Changsheng solemnly asked, "Tao Cheng, are you going back on your word?"

If you want to eliminate the mutated and save Spring City...

This is your last chance!

As of now, with the states of affairs changing repeatedly, the old bets we made can no longer shackle the current situation. Tao Cheng could very well flip the table, breaking the last unspoken agreement... and then, escalate all these struggles to a new level!

At this moment, Spring City, seemingly precarious, had already attracted who knows how many gazes.

Even if Tao Cheng walked away now, once the outcome was determined, it would become the fuse for another brutal war.

From the dark corners, superior Mutated, Saints of the world, Heavenly People or Evil, the Empire or the Desert Market had already gathered countless eager bets.

Waiting for a decision.

At that moment, when that aged figure appeared from above the sky, he felt, unknowingly, how many sights were placed on him.

He didn't look like the radiant Heavenly People at all.

His eyes were murky, his hair speckled with gray.

He looked like any other decrepit old man.

But precisely when Tao Cheng appeared, Lu Changsheng instantly became alert, as if confronting a great enemy.

"I never expected to end up in such a state, but it seems... not surprising."

Tao Cheng sighed lightly, "Regarding the manipulation of human hearts and evil spirits, you have outdone me immensely. With your ambition and the wild intent to turn evil into righteousness, after so many years of preparation and waiting...

Now you've initiated it, with timing, geographical convenience, and the so-called 'harmony' all in your hands.

And I have nowhere to retreat."

He looked at Lu Changsheng, "Just talking about today, you integrating many, stirring the winds and clouds, almost near the evil kind of Tian Yuan, if the unconstructed tower speaks, perhaps it should cast a shadow on you too?"

Lu Changsheng shook his head, "Isn't this all thanks to the personal teachings of Tao Cheng?"

"Wrong."

Tao Cheng's smile gradually became strange, or perhaps, it could be called mocking.

"I never managed to teach you anything, Lu Changsheng."

He looked around the dark world, regretfully said, "Otherwise, you would understand—although the world is chaotic, sometimes, the rights and wrongs are clearly defined... even if you wear the most glorious crown, citing how deafening the logic is, it's the same.

Evil is evil, demons are demons, and ugly is ugly!"

"..."

Lu Changsheng fell silent for a moment, and sighed with regret, "A gentleman can be killed but not insulted, Tao Cheng refuses to associate with someone like me, which is only natural."

"Don't look so pitiful, Lu Changsheng, you talk about the rats in the gutter wanting to fight with us incompetents, wanting to turn the world upside down, to turn evil into righteousness.

But the righteous path has always been there, yet you never took it, preferring to boast as a rat, engaging in deceit, disdaining to understand the morals living in the sunlight, instead wanting to overturn everything.

Aren't you the most arrogant one here?"

Tao Cheng raised his eyes, looking at him, suddenly without anger, only pity.

As if looking at a blind man who basks in the sun, yet denies the sunlight.

"So, you don't understand..."

He finally let out a relieved smile and closed his eyes.

Making Lu Changsheng's expression drastically change.

Watch closely, Lu Changsheng, this is the first lesson I wanted to teach you!

In that moment, Tao Cheng smiled, raised his hand.

Toward his own neck...

He sliced.

—That is to say, sacrifice oneself for righteousness!
