Baby Serendipity: The Whole World Fell In Love With Me-Chapter 737 - 736: Unable to Enter the Cycle of Reincarnation

Chapter 737: Chapter 736: Unable to Enter the Cycle of Reincarnation

Both realms were in a state of dreadful carnage, and Mianmian had no interest in wasting more words with the Heavenly Demon.

She manipulated the Donghuang Bell, launching an attack toward the Heavenly Demon.

The Heavenly Demon retreated, a smile still present in his eyes, "By attacking me, do you not want the friends you know to survive?"

As the words fell, Demons with black wings were already flying up with Mianmian’s parents in tow.

Without Mianmian, they could only struggle briefly against the Demon Clan before being captured.

The Demon Clan was too powerful, while the current Demon and Human Races were no longer as pure as in ancient times, entangled in various matters, and simply unable to properly cultivate.

With impurities in their hearts during cultivation, how could they become stronger?

Wu Chenzi was like this, the Human Emperor was like this, and the Demon Emperor was the same. If they didn’t cultivate properly, they would also prevent others from cultivating properly, inadvertently causing the overall strength to plummet significantly.

Liaoji and Ling Xiao were among the best cultivators of the Human Race, but the number of Demons was too great. Even if they were formidable, they were outnumbered and overpowered.

Before long, Yunshang and the others were also captured by the Demon Clan and lifted into the air.

With her parents and friends in captivity, how could Mianmian resist?

She glanced around, suppressing the sorrow in her heart, and asked the Heavenly Demon, "You, what exactly do you want to do?"

The Heavenly Demon merely shrugged his shoulders, "I don’t know what I want either."

"When I was newly born, I was suppressed by armies from all worlds, separated into the six realms, banished to the sunless Demon Realm."

"There, day after day, I would sit idly, clueless about what I truly desired, as if everything was meaningless to me."

"I can transform into a million forms, I am capable of all sorts of things, but I only feel an emptiness somewhere."

In front of Mianmian, the Heavenly Demon transformed into his truest form.

His eyes were rotating vortices, his chest was a void. His limbs seemed to be there yet not, as though they were merely shadows transformed from black mist.

"I’m bored..." With a sigh, the Heavenly Demon tilted his head, and one of the beautiful sisters who had fought alongside Mianmian disintegrated, blood and flesh scattering.

This scene was too cruel; finally, Mianmian’s tears began to fall.

Seeing Mianmian cry, the Heavenly Demon drifted over to her side, reaching out to catch her tears.

"I’ve heard that tears are bitter." The Heavenly Demon brought the tear to his mouth, licked it, then shrugged, "Hmm, I don’t know what bitterness is, really strange."

"Even if I consume the souls of human women and imitate everything within their souls, I still can’t understand whether the beauty recounted in their memories is truly beautiful."

"Sigh."

With another sigh, another familiar face to Mianmian was killed by the Heavenly Demon.

Liaoji pressed his palms together, his eyes filled with sad compassion as he stared at Mianmian, "Little benefactor Mianmian, don’t worry about us. If you kill the Heavenly Demon, we can be saved, and millions of lives under the heavens will be saved."

The disciples of Buddhism always understood the principle of sacrificing the individual for the greater good.

Liaoji obstinately followed Mianmian because he wanted to see if she possessed such traits. As an innate Spiritual Child, born in an era where the Heavenly Demon appeared, if Su Mianmian lacked this trait, the Demon Clan would easily take over the other five realms, leading to a tragedy for all beings.

The Heavenly Demon heard Liaoji’s words as well.

The Heavenly Demon’s vortex-like eyes stared at Liaoji for a while, his thoughts wavering between killing and not killing. He remained silent in contemplation for a while, and finally decided not to kill, preferring to wait and see.

To understand the differences between himself and the other races, he had consumed many souls.

The memories that came with these souls had given him some new insights.

Now, the Heavenly Demon was pondering whether watching his mortal enemy’s actions could yield a bit of interest and pleasure.

Mianmian understood Liaoji’s words. Liaoji meant that she should disregard her parents and simply launch an attack on the Heavenly Demon. If she killed the Heavenly Demon, the other Demons would be leaderless, and she could slowly exterminate them. This way, the other lives that hadn’t been completely destroyed would be saved.

But Mianmian didn’t want to do that.

Mianmian didn’t want her parents to die again, and she didn’t want to witness the deaths of Yunshang and the others.

"Those killed by the Demon Clan cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation," the Heavenly Demon said with a slight smile, "Hmm... as for the Underworld, the ghosts there are originally tempted by Demons and turn evil."

"And as for the Fairy Realm... just ask the Golden Dragon in your hand how few Fairies there are left. Over these hundreds of years, it’s not like I have been doing nothing."

This was indeed the truth.

The Golden Dragon had initially withheld this from Mianmian to avoid putting too much pressure on her.

Innate Spiritual Children were chosen by the Heavenly Dao. The Fairies who ascended and the original gods had long been slain by the Heavenly Demon. They didn’t know how the Heavenly Demon had escaped from the Demon Realm, which was supposed to be a prison from which the Heavenly Demon couldn’t emerge.

Yet it happened, and the Heavenly Demon slaughtered the Fairies in the Fairy Realm, as if he had entered an undefended territory.

"Mianmian, you’re the hope of all life," said the Golden Dragon, though he didn’t want to say it, he had to, "To sacrifice the individual for the greater good, if you don’t let them go, if you don’t kill the Heavenly Demon, the world will be destroyed."

Mianmian bit her lip, her eyes red.

She was still just a child; why should the destruction of the world have anything to do with her? Being the Demon Emperor was exhausting enough; now, was she to be the savior of everyone as well?

But, if saving the world meant sacrificing the lives of those close to her, what was the point of her saving it?

She didn’t care if her parents turned from humans into Demons; she just wanted them to be alive. If her parents and friends could live, what did she care about the other unfamiliar people or Demons?

"Daddy, Mother, Sister Yunshang..." Mianmian’s voice was hoarse, "I don’t want you to die! I want you to live well, be with Mianmian."

Because everyone had gathered here, there was a delay. The Heavenly Demon captured Su Ji and his parents as well, and everyone stared at Mianmian, waiting for her choice.

Under everyone’s gaze, Mianmian did not take up the Demon Slaying Sword, nor did she continue to control the Donghuang Bell.

She asked the Heavenly Demon, "What would it take for you to spare them?"

The Heavenly Demon appeared relaxed, "I can spare them, but I will let the Demon Clan kill everyone else. Would that be okay with you?"

Those words sounded shameless.

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but curse loudly, "Heavenly Demon, you have no heart; how can you present Mianmian with such a cruel choice?"

The Heavenly Demon ignored Ling Xiao; it wasn’t Ling Xiao’s decision to make, so why should he be agitated?

Besides, the Heavenly Demon faintly felt that the choice Su Mianmian was about to make would be very satisfying to him.
