Chapter 1656: Chapter 7: Battlefield Enlightenment (2)
Realizing this, Fata Bi felt even more proud, as if a mysterious power was helping it recover, quickly restoring its Yuan Qi. It burst into laughter, then lifted its head, looking disdainfully at the Platinum Armor before it: “Your resistance, your battles, are ultimately futile. Your systems, the entire war network, are overly efficient but have left too many flaws. As long as a high-ranking official or an internal maintenance personnel betrays, it will cause huge losses!”
“All your struggles, all your sacrifices over this century are futile! This is the Divine Power of my Lord! All are the nourishment for His revival!”
“Feeling despair, and futility, are you? Haha, your current power is also providing Divine Power for the Demon Lord, allowing it to revive!”
Continuing to laugh maniacally, but gradually the laughter weakened. While laughing, Fata Bi confusedly gazed at the motionless Platinum Armor, although the other showed no expression, the blazing sun-like eyes and the stable emotions transmitted all represented an unwavering resolve.
Wh-what’s going on… What is this person really about…
Confused and unable to understand, Fata Bi was completely perplexed by the thoughts of the person inside the armor.
“I see.”
After pondering for a while, the Platinum Armor nodded as it reached a conclusion: “The demon has degraded to this extent?”
Under the bewildered gaze of the Great Demon, he calmly said, “Futile behavior, thoughts, ideas provide Him with Divine Power… So, the Holy Demon of the Great Wilderness has become this weak?”
“Weak?”
The evil demon widened an unknown number of eyes all over its body, and hearing the other’s surprised exclamation, the Platinum Armor laughed, the metal clanging: “It’s said that evil demons are degraded Heavenly Demons, you really don’t understand, do you?”
“Little demon, you think that through completely corresponding with every action, thought, idea in this world, and obtaining power from this correspondence, you’ve almost become the ancient Demon God of creation at the beginning of heaven and earth, right?”
“There is no need for faith or incense, as long as futility exists in this world, there is always power, which is already a being that holds ’Primordial Power’, nearly Harmonization.”
“But, foolish little demon, your understanding of Harmonization, and even of ’demon’ itself, can be said to be pitiful… How terrifying was the original demon? You definitely don’t understand.”
Thus speaking, the Platinum Armor grasped Fata Bi, casually flew up from the returned battleship, cruising through the airspace, where the pressure spread, and all evil demons lacking Martial Vein Foundation Establishment fell like raindrops.
Feeling this terrifying pressure, Fata Bi’s tongue and the air bubbles in its lungs trembled, but it didn’t even have time to be angry about the words ’evil demons are lesser than Heavenly Demons’, a sense of [curiosity] prompted it to subconsciously ask: “Then, ultimately…”
“——How strong was the original demon?”
The Platinum Armor felt this [curiosity], the helmet slightly tilting, if there were eyebrows, it would have raised one — thus he answered: “The original Supreme Heart Demon, its very existence could alter the human heart, even the Heavenly Heart, and all [essences]. As long as there is degeneration, it’s a demon, and even the definition of degeneration is controlled by Them. This is a demon of free conviction, the strongest, most terrifying, most irresistible [Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Lord].”
“Thus initially, the [Supreme Heart Demon’s] demon incursion was impossible to resist — because if the Supreme Heart Demon desired, it could even define ’becoming stronger’, ’enhancing one’s life’s status’, ’learning better to understand the world’, as degeneration.”
“Of course, the Supreme Heart Demon never did this because if it equated everything to degeneration, then everything would be demons: whether joy or shouting, it would be called demon, whether happiness or despair, demon, whether pleading or admiration, singing or sobbing, all would be demon — hence every word, every proposition would be demon.”
“Then, degeneration becomes everything, including not degenerating itself, and everything loses significance, becoming meaningless.”
“In the end, the [Eternal Twilight of Nothingness], a form of [correctness], would swallow it all.”

Saying this, the Platinum Armor lamented: “Of course, this doesn’t mean the Supreme Heart Demon is weak. In truth, it is too strong. Ironically, the weak ones are those later demons that appeared by its definition. Whether Heavenly Demon or evil demon, they are fundamentally the same, so strictly speaking, evil demons can’t entirely be considered a degraded form of Heavenly Demons, rather they are a sub-species, just somewhat weaker.”
“Essentially, you True Demons are degeneration itself, thus becoming increasingly fragile, slowly equating to normal lifeforms.”
“Perhaps one day, you, whether Heavenly Demon or evil demon, might ’degenerate’ to possess a True Spirit and become normal life. Then, you will no longer be Heavenly Demons, evil demons, alien demons… but simply ’Demon Clan’. Ordinary life possessing some Heavenly Demon abilities, capable of degeneration or not.”
“At that point, in some sense, for the Human Clan, this would be a victory. A win-win, not a lose-lose: you gain an infinite future, becoming equal to us as Demon Men, and we thoroughly defeat demons, reclaiming our future.”
“What nonsense are you saying, how can such a possibility exist!” Fata Bi said incredulously, and yet, a trace of uncontrollable desire arose in its heart.
Unbeknownst to itself, its voice trembled: “We can, can become normal life? How could this be a good fortune!”
However, upon speaking, it realized that the utterance itself was a form of degeneration!
——Indeed, would a demon actually desire to become a normal life?
How is that possible!
Hearing Fata Bi’s shocked slip-up and sensing the other’s inner turmoil, the Platinum Armor had long realized the so-called ’evil demons’ were quite close to ’humans’. In fact, the other possessed a [struggle heart] like a normal life, yearning to become [better], to [surpass] innate limitations, harbored its own [curiosity] about unknown matters… Consider that Heavenly Demons hardly exhibit such emotions; they are merely embodiments of corresponding degenerative phenomena, essentially, the plague of the Heavenly Dao, with the most potent being capable of replacing the Heavenly Dao, the Holy Demon.
Precisely because of this, the Platinum Armor didn’t kill the other upon receiving the information but instead leisurely chatted a bit more with Fata Bi: “Why do you think it’s impossible?”
“You exist within the world, hence constantly being internalized by the universe, the world, the Heavenly Dao, until eventually, the world fully adapts, interprets, accepts, and redefines you, making you no longer a demon.”
“Oh… wait.”
Upon saying this, the Platinum Armor even began to contemplate, a mysterious yet grand Tao Rhyme began to circulate around him: “Indeed, redefining, rebirth, re-understanding, re-creation… Immortal Path, Martial Arts, Feather Transformation Dao, Great Wilderness Dao… This is what it means! As cultivators enhance their Dao Law, this is also All Realms’ method to eliminate demons, obliterate degeneration, eradicate the possibility of ’inability to transcend’!”
“Indeed, the path of transcendence is to eliminate the inability to transcend, to obliterate the possibility of demise, and as embodiments of ’demise and degeneration’, all demons are naturally restrained and assimilated by the essence of the Great Dao!”
“Definition, birth, understanding, creation — this is how the demons are assimilated by the world!”
Fata Bi gazed dazedly at the Platinum Armor in front — incredible, too incredible, what on earth happened?
This guy in front of it, actually, while analyzing the essence of ’demon’ for this evil demon, actually…
Achieved Enlightenment?!
