Listening to the words of the Demon Saint, Qing Yun slightly furrowed his brows. However, he indeed didn't sense any hostility or murderous intent from the other party. The opponent seemed to speak with a calm and gentle tone, not at all like someone preparing for a battle with him. So he tentatively asked, "Why? Now that the spiritual essence is dissipating, the immortal path is gone, and even demons are devolving to adapt to the new environment, without immortals or demons in the future, where would a human-demon war come from?" "Don't you know the reason for the spiritual essence's dissipation?" The Demon Saint looked at Qing Yun and smiled. His gentle eyes seemed to see through everything about Qing Yun. Qing Yun said expressionlessly, "Why would I know?" The Demon Saint smiled faintly, "You communicated with the void, which triggered the infiltration of void forces, leading to the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, the constriction of spiritual essence, resulting in a great change of heaven and earth, making it difficult for the existing demons and Spiritual People to adapt." The fact that Qing Yun could utilize the void's power was already known by many, and even among humans, some began researching this power. Qing Yun was not surprised that the Demon Saint knew about these things. Seeing Qing Yun's unchanged expression, the Demon Saint was unperturbed and continued, "Qing Yun, do you know where the Spiritual People and their immortals come from?" Qing Yun asked, puzzled, "Where?" "They are not species from this planet; they come from worlds beyond the heavens." The Demon Saint sighed, "When the Spiritual People came to this planet, demons were still a weak race, and their arrival prompted the demons' evolution." "The initial human-demon war was a war against invaders. At that time, demons didn't even have their own civilization, and most were nothing more than beasts scraping by, struggling for survival." "But in the face of generations of immortal and Spiritual People hunting and suppression, to adapt to the environment, demons began to evolve continuously, eventually developing true wisdom and their own culture." "Unfortunately, there are not many ancient demons left who still remember these things." Upon hearing this news, Qing Yun was extremely astonished. He had never heard of this before and never imagined that immortals were not native to Earth? They came from beyond the heavens? Is the immortal path alien technology?

It can't." "The constriction of spiritual essence is temporary. Once the Heavenly Dao reorganizes the powers of the void, spiritual essence will reappear on this planet, and immortal technology will develop once more in this world." "And immortals can establish the Luotian Realm; those who achieve great success can even make it a self-sufficient realm within itself, and hiding inside for a few thousand or even tens of thousands of years is nothing." "They can easily lead the Spiritual People to hide in the Luotian Realms of several strongest ones, and when spiritual essence reappears on this planet, they will come forth again." "Moreover, even if there are no Spiritual People on Earth, there are still Spiritual People from other planets beyond the heavens." "The occurrence of void infiltration and spiritual essence constriction on our planet does not mean that spiritual essence on other planets is also reduced." "One day, immortals from other planets will also find this place." "And the bloodline of demons still hides within those devolved beasts. Once spiritual essence reappears, all animals on Earth will once again awaken the demon bloodline within them, and demons will once more walk this land." "The human-demon war is far from over." Hearing the Demon Saint's words, Qing Yun's mind was turbulent, with waves surging within his heart: 'There are Spiritual People on other planets? If this is true... then even if sapiens evolve, will they still face threats from Spiritual People?' 'With the sapiens' power I know of... they simply can't contend against the immortals...' Facing the scrutinizing gaze from the other party, Qing Yun coldly said, "How can you prove what you say is true?" "Is proof needed?" The Demon Saint said indifferently, "Those who communicate with you through the void, aren't they the Spiritual People from worlds beyond the heavens?" Hearing this, Qing Yun could no longer maintain his composure. Suppressing the shock within him, he asked, "I don't understand what you're talking about..." "You understand because I have also experienced the matter of receiving void knowledge, even obtaining more void knowledge than you." The Demon Saint said indifferently, "But do you know? Spiritual People from beyond the heavens are not just limited to one branch on our planet. Other planets also have Spiritual People, have immortals, and some have even perfected their utilization of the void to reach unparalleled heights." "They can transcend the limits of time and space using the void, directly spreading that knowledge throughout the Material World." "That's why you could receive knowledge transmitted via the void, make contact with the forces of the void, trigger the void's infiltration across the entire planet, and continuously spread it until it covers the sun and moon, encompassing the sky..." Qing Yun, listening to the Demon Saint's narrations, his gaze flickered, his thoughts rapidly turning, finally asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?" "Void infiltration and spiritual essence constriction can temporarily halt the human-demon war on our planet, but it's not a one-time solution." The Demon Saint said indifferently, "However, allowing demons to evolve into the present sapiens is indeed a path, but the evolution is still insufficient..." Ying Long, who had been silently listening to the exchange, could no longer hold back at this moment and said, "Sapiens have completely deviated from the demon path. If they continue evolving towards Spiritual People, would they still be considered demons or Spiritual People? I'm afraid once they grow stronger, they will have no relation with demons anymore!" "Evolution is the essence of demons." The Demon Saint casually said, "Ying Long, you are demons born through generations of evolution. Would you regard those unable to evolve, without wisdom, and who only know how to eat raw meat and drink blood as your kin?" "Survival of the fittest is the essence of demons. Those who can survive, adapt to this world, and continually evolve are the true direction of demons." "If sapiens can continually evolve, becoming a new species blending the advantages of demons and Spiritual People, then it's only natural that they eliminate every other demon branch." "Just like how you, Ying Long, have slain countless birds and beasts, consuming beasts and even other demons as food." Having said that, the Demon Saint left Ying Long behind and departed with Qing Yun. Until the end, Ying Long didn't know where they went or what they did.
