Shi Feiyang said, "Are you saying that the Shushan World is also an 'Immortal Land' forged by the collective will power of countless people who see it as a paradise and wish nothing more than to be reborn there in their next life?"

"Exactly!" Deng Yin confirmed this statement, "Every blade of grass and tree in the Shushan World is transformed by the collective will of the people, just like Buddhism's Nirvana, the Glazed World, Daoism's Immortal Realm, and so on, all born from the same kind of will within the Taoist Body!" He looked down and then said, "The Saha World, where I now reside, is also the same!"

"But, in this world, other than me, there are no others who have transmigrated from your side, other than me..."

"How do you know there aren't any? They just naturally died and were reincarnated. They all have a veil of ignorance that makes them forget their past lives, only you are the exception, not belonging to any type of womb-born, but rather, after death, directly transmigrated and took possession of a Demon Dragon at Dinghu Peak that had suffered from Deviation!"

"Why am I an exception?"

"I also cannot calculate that, it must be that you did something in the past that defied destiny."

When Shi Feiyang heard this, his heart trembled. Ever since he was young he had studied divination, hoping to change his own destiny, making numerous attempts to alter it, but all to no avail. Perhaps one of them was successful, but it was not able to change the fate of his past life; could it be that it changed the destiny of this life?

"Based on what you're saying, other books have countless 'believers' as well, with even more people hoping to be reborn into the worlds within those books in their next life. Why haven't those worlds become real like the Shushan World?"

"How do you know they haven't?" Deng Yin asked in return.

"If they had, why haven't we seen powerful figures from those worlds come back to ours?"

Deng Yin smiled, "Perhaps those worlds are missing someone like you, an 'exception'."

Shi Feiyang thought about it and indeed it made sense. If he was normally reborn into his ideal world after death and fell under the spell of ignorance, becoming just one of the many beings in the Shushan World, he would most likely live and die as a mere mortal. There would be a very small chance that he could practice spells, and due to threshold issues, it would be more likely to follow the Evil Path or the Demon Path; with even a shorter lifespan, it was almost impossible to become a disciple of the Orthodox Mysterious Sect, dying amidst various calamities before cultivating any significant mana!

"So it's actually like this!" Shi Feiyang sighed, gaining a new understanding of his life trajectory and the formation of the heavenly worlds, "I must thank Brother Deng for giving me such insights."

Deng Yin smiled bitterly again, "I also have to thank Brother Shi Feiyang for showing me this extraordinary book, 'Shushan Swordsmen'. At first, I thought it was a Demon Scripture, with divine and demonic beings ruling within, which scared me a lot. I read it word by word cautiously, worried about hidden Demon Curses... Later, I wondered which great power of this world not only peeked into the other world in full detail, recorded everything, but was also able to predict the future, until I remembered a senior Buddhist I had once spoken with, who had said some things to me, alas..."

Shi Feiyang knew he was remembering the Mad Monk, when along with Master Changmei and Ren Shou's reinitiation into the path, Chu Sanzi and Master Taiyuan didn't want to take him in, knowing his fate was to follow the Demon Path from which he couldn't extricate himself, harming others as well as himself.

Back then, aside from Master Changmei pleading on his behalf, there was also a Mad Monk who firmly believed that man could overcome heaven. He guaranteed Deng Yin's reintroduction to the path and promised to support him with all his might, taking all the consequences upon himself.

Later, during Deng Yin's cultivation journey, the Mad Monk indeed often protected him, helping him in critical moments.

Unfortunately, Deng Yin's fall into the Demon Path was not accidental but indeed determined by fate. If given the chance to start over, he would still choose to practice the "Blood God Scripture," even knowing that practicing this Demon Scripture, he still wouldn't be able to save his beloved from past lives!

Deng Yin then said, "This book writes about many things in the future, especially about me. Indeed, I will have the opportunity to crack open a crevice in the Liangyi Dust Formation in a few years, and after I get out, I'm prepared to immediately go on a killing spree at the Emei Sect, to kill all the disciples and grand-disciples of my elder brother, clean and thorough! But according to the book, that old beggar Yan Yingmu and many top masters from both Buddhism and Daoism have already calculated my whereabouts, and my brother left a prophecy that at that time, a Buddhist Heart Lamp would come to kill me completely, destroying both body and soul, and that lamp indeed is one of the few things in the world that can counter me.

Luckily, with you being an 'exception,' I can break my brother's prophecy, and I don't have to die under the Heart Lamp, and I won't have my body and soul destroyed..."

"No, Master Changmei's prophecy still stands, you haven't broken it," Shi Feiyang said. "You haven't yet broken out of your brother's Liangyi Dust Formation."

"What?" Deng Yin was shocked, "You managed to bring those kids' Primordial Spirits over; why can't you bring me over as well? As long as you help me get there, with the two of us joining forces, who in the world would dare to be our enemy?"

"There are still a few who would, people can join forces too."

Deng Yin grew angry, "Are you saying, then, that you don't plan on helping me complete this final part of my journey?"

"Not right now."

"Now?" Deng Yin angrily said, "I know what you're worrying about, you're afraid I'll go on a killing spree once I get out! Don't try to emulate those hypocrites from the so-called Orthodox Sects, who have darker, more poisonous hearts than anyone else, yet pose with a façade of Great Compassion, pretending to rescue all beings! I promise I won't kill your people; that should suffice!"
