Chu Yuan saw a large group of prisoners being escorted into the City of Truth. "If you have the courage, just kill us. We've fallen into your hands this time!" The prisoners being escorted looked ashen, their greatest wish was not to survive but to hope that the Truth Holy Land would execute them. They all knew that once they came here, it would be a fate worse than death. The Truth Holy Land was as beautiful as a brocade, and the streets were filled with laughter and joy, but to them, it was Hell. "Haha, you still want to die? There's no such easy and cheap thing. Hmph, you killed so many of our companions, now honestly become our slaves to wash away your sins." A strong figure picked up a whip and lashed them harshly, punishing them. Chu Yuan saw this, and his heart remained unmoved. He could certainly guess that the reason the Truth Holy Land didn't execute these prisoners was to extract the greatest value out of them. For example, even a toxic demon emperor could enslave strong figures to work for him, so with the skills of the Truth Holy Land, they could certainly do it even better. They used these slaves to condense the Eternal Divine Crystal, maintaining the Eternal Truth Formation. And when needed, they would also directly slaughter them. Do not be deceived by the peaceful appearance within the Truth Holy Land. Such forces that could dominate the Eternal Path would inevitably have their own ruthless and cruel sides. Merciful inside, cruel outside. It did not cause any inner turmoil for him, nor would he feel pity for those prisoners; the defeated should accept the consequences of defeat. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁 In fact, his empire was the same. For those who submitted and were willing to work for him, Chu Yuan was very merciful. But if anyone dared to obstruct his path, they would see the cold-blooded side of the Emperor. Chu Yuan appeared to wander aimlessly within the Truth Holy Land, but he was actually perceiving the force of truth, allowing himself to be uplifted by it. In this Truth Holy Land, there were said to be several kinds of beings. The most loyal and devout were, of course, the beings of truth created by the god of origin of the Holy Land. These beings were born naturally close to the truth's great path, with the truth's rune impressions inscribed in their bones. There were also strong beings that came from the outside world. Allowing beings from the outside world to join, some of which were even special beings conceived by eternity itself. Beings created by oneself always had some imperfections, but the potential of eternity was the greatest. Allowing those outside beings to join, Chu Yuan could naturally understand the reason. To constantly remain powerful, a force needed the impact of fresh blood from outside. "This Truth Holy Land, their truth's essence is quite domineering." Chu Yuan suddenly sighed. "What they say is the real truth, and the words of others are fallacies and heresies. They say light is light, and darkness is darkness. This is the law of their truth, enough to invert black and white. However, these are their laws, not mine." Chu Yuan looked at the prosperity of the Truth Holy Land, understanding their domineering laws of truth. Like the Divine Enthronement Great Emperor. His divine enthronement path was also one of dominance, where all gods in the world were enshrined by him. If he declared you a god, you were a god. In one word, he could make you a mortal. However, Chu Yuan remained unaffected. His path was also one of dominance, the dominance of controlling everything. Without such dominance, it was impossible to be eternal. "The entire eternity is a great cage, where everything is imprisoned within it. Even beings like the Truth, with eternal souls and bodies, cannot be made eternal by the eternal rules of the whole world. That's why they can live far but at a huge cost." Chu Yuan thought, "Even though I've paved my own path, I can't break through this greater eternal road." The deeper one's cultivation, the deeper one's perception of everything in the world. Even if one's soul and body are eternal, the most powerful eternal rules do not allow you to be eternal, and that is why beings like Truth and Immortality are stronger than many existences. However, such beings are extremely rare. "My words are the truth." Chu Yuan was indifferent. "Emperor, I've precisely sensed the whereabouts of the Demonic Dao Book. It's right over there!" At this moment, the Heavenly Demon Book stated. In the Truth Holy Land, a grand Temple of Truth hung high like a blazing sun. A towering, god-like middle-aged man sat with his eyes closed, quietly contemplating. "The aura of the Heavenly Demon Book!" Suddenly, his eyes snapped open. The book placed in front of him trembled, demons rose up, and it was precisely the Demonic Dao Book. It formed a strong connection with the Heavenly Demon Book as if it was about to tear through space and leave at any moment. "To think it would respond at this time. I've already suppressed and obliterated the deity within the Demonic Dao Book, giving birth to a new god." This middle-aged man's cultivation was as high as the eighth level. With a tap of his hand, truths runes appeared, and a deity emerged within the Demonic Dao Book. Its cultivation was only at the peak of the sixth level, a newly born god. The middle-aged man declared. "Lord, it is indeed the aura of the Heavenly Demon Book, very close. It has come into the Truth Holy Land, sensing and calling to me. To be precise, it's the previous deity." The Truth's Demon stated. "It actually dares to come into the Truth Holy Land? What is it intending to do? Does it want to take you away?" The middle-aged man was bewildered. Years ago, he and the strong figures of the Truth Holy Land dealt with the Heavenly Demon and Demonic Dao books. The outcome was capturing the Demonic Dao Book while the Heavenly Demon Book vanished without a trace. He had always coveted the Heavenly Demon Book. "The Heavenly Demon Book isn't foolish. If it dares to come to my Truth Holy Land, it means it has its dependencies. I don't know what confidence it possesses or what it's planning, but I must acquire the Heavenly Demon Book!" He felt a strong desire for the Heavenly Demon Book. "The eighth level, I've been trapped in this realm for too long. Without reaching the ninth level, I'll die. With the Heavenly Demon Book in hand, possessing both demonic and magic paths, I can utilize that vast ocean-like knowledge to ascend once again and become a supreme ninth-level powerhouse!" The middle-aged man was desperate for another ascension. Each ascension was a baptism of the self, with the most significant effect being to live longer. Only by living longer can one have hope for eternity, but this step is far too difficult. "Hmph! I don't care what schemes you have, but within my Truth Holy Land, I am the master. You won't cause great waves, and you'll be under my control. What I say is mine will be mine. We have many strong figures in the Truth Holy Land!" The middle-aged man suddenly stood up. Waves of truth runes spread, words translated into actions. "Truth's Demon, accurately locate the Heavenly Demon Book's whereabouts. I'll immediately contact other lords." He wasn't blindly confident; if the opponent dared to come, they surely had cards to play. He wanted to prepare for a perfect seal. But suddenly, his body sharply jarred as he looked outside the temple in shock. Time, space, soul, and all laws solidified, suppressed by a supreme power. Layers of Holy Light of Truth disintegrated, revealing a supreme presence, reaching out with a hand of dominion towards him.
