Immortal Devil Transformation-Chapter Volume 16 74: Laughable or Beautiful World
This violent rainstorm swept through the entire world.
Central Continent City also experienced a torrential rain.
An intense dispute was currently happening within a certain remote alley in this city.
A pale skinned fatty dressed in luxurious black silk robes had a hand over his nose, in disgust towards the sewage smell coming from the street gutters.
The one in conflict with him was a slim, red robed man.
Under this great rain, a religion that worshipped the devil king began to spread news of doomsday. They said that this rain was precisely a punishment cast over the people due to their disrespect towards the devil king. They preached that all people were full of evil, that only if they worshipped the devil king, would they receive the devil king’s protection and be permitted to survive.
This silk black robed white skinned fatty was precisely one of this religion’s preachers. Meanwhile, that red robed man who argued fiercely against him came from a different religion.
This religion believed that no one could save one but themselves, that only by getting rid of the evil within one’s heart, would they not fear the devil king. They believed that the devil king would be banished from this world.
These two preachers of entirely different religions both spread their beliefs in this street. They all had some of their own believers, and both of them wanted more new believers. When they met, an intense debate and quarrel couldn’t help but happen.
These two preachers were clearly Central Continent City natives who were already previously acquainted. After the debate and arguments continued for a while, undisguised personal attacks were unavoidable.
The red cloth robed slim man pointed at the pale fatty and coldly said, “Fatty Ou, you used to be nothing more than a runner for a casino in the city’s north! Do you think someone like you can really be called a devil king envoy just because you put on some black robes? Would any old hen turn into a devil king divine beast if I put some black robes on it?”
Roaring laughter erupted. The pale chubby man didn’t get resentful or angry, instead saying with a snort, “You’re not wrong. Even someone like me could receive the devil king’s favor as long as I believe in the devil king. Am I not living pretty well? Why don’t all of you believe the devil king? It is precisely because even someone like you who buried your head in books for so long yet still failed to pass the imperial exams, people like you doubted the devil king, that this type of violent rainstorm happened. You are the one dragging all of us down!”
More and more people joined in on this dispute.
In Central Continent City, these types of conflicts often turned into brawls. However, when there were people from both sides who couldn’t take it anymore and were about to fight, they were all stopped.
The pale fat man shouted for his believers to not do anything, saying in disdain, “There’s no need for us to do anything. The devil king will naturally punish them.”
The red robed slim man pulled back those on his side, sarcastically shooting right back, “If we act as violently as you all, then wouldn’t we have fallen to the level of devil king believers?”
…
While everyone was arguing, no one noticed a parked carriage at one end of this alley.
Zhang Ping dressed in ordinary clothes and the Imperial Princess were currently in this carriage.
When she heard the arguing, the Imperial Princess who had remained silent for a long time finally couldn’t take it anymore. She looked at Zhang Ping and said in mockery, “Did you bring me out here just so I can see these rumors that you spread, these methods that stir up everyone with false information?”
Zhang Ping’s face was extremely cold. His eyes seemed like a droplet of water that dropped from eaves, lacking all emotion and expression. They only purely reflected the surrounding world.
His face didn’t show any changes in front of the Imperial Princess’ mockery either. He shook his head and said, “My goal was not to show off how many believers I can gather with these methods, but rather to let you see just how laughable and lamentable most people in this world are. These people are arguing so intensely, but none of them have realized that regardless of which side it is, I am behind both. Regardless of which faith they choose to stand by, they are like blinded ants, already under my control. It isn’t just them, most people in this world are the same. Regardless of what type of faith they began with, regardless of what kind of things they consider meaningless they do, they are all nothing more than toys for the devil king to play with. Everything they do is utterly laughable and lamentable.”
After a slight pause, he looked at the Imperial Princess and continued, “You have also seen for yourself that these people will even slowly forget to fight back. Principal Zhang can change Yunqin, so can I. The devil king has countless incarnations, this is but one alley… There are already many black robed and red robed believers currently roaming many Yunqin streets. These two entirely different opinions actually all come from the same source. That is why your resistance against me is completely meaningless.”
The Imperial Princess’ complexion changed slightly. She didn’t look at Zhang Ping, instead, she looked at the raindrops through the crack in the curtains. She slowly said, “But you should also understand that even if you view yourself as someone far above all others, you are the devil king who overlooks this world, this rain isn’t under your control. You have no idea what even caused this huge downpour. In my opinion, this downpour represents an omen.”
Zhang Ping also looked at the raindrops outside the carriage. He laughed indifferently, but he didn’t say anything.
The carriage slowly moved, entering the next alley.
This alley wasn’t far from that previous noisy alley. There were still vague arguing noises that could be heard. The people in this street normally might have ran to that other street to join in on the action, but because of today’s rain, most people remained in their homes.
The carriage stopped in front of the first household in this street.
The Imperial Princess didn’t understand Zhang Ping’s intentions. This household seemed extremely ordinary. A young couple were currently weaving bamboo baskets. When they heard the carriage’s wheel sounds and saw the carriage parked in front of their home, this young couple both stood up in alarm, wondering who these guests were.
The Imperial Princess saw that the man’s leg was a bit limp. Then, she saw a little girl in pigtails run out with a straw grasshopper in her hands.
“Dad, is this third uncle?”
The Imperial Princess heard this little girl’s voice that was full of expectation.
She didn’t know what this household had to do with Zhang Ping.
Right at this instant, Zhang Ping coldly reached out a finger.
Several waves of soul force poured out from his fingertip, instantly transforming into ruthless killing intent.
Several droplets of water turned into water swords of death, landing on that little girl and young couple’s bodies.
The Imperial Princess’ face suddenly became incomparably pale.
The little girl’s chest erupted with a striking bloom of red, while the young couple flew out backwards and collapsed.
The carriage moved again, heading towards the next household.
Only when the carriage moved again did the Imperial Princess’ body tremble. With a furious gaze, she looked at Zhang Ping and shouted viciously, “What did that household have to do with you?! There is no way that little girl could have ever wronged you! You won’t even let a little girl go, you even have the heart to kill her!”
“You are correct. This rainstorm is indeed a type of omen. That is why I must seize the moment and do what I need to do.” Zhang Ping’s voice sounded. He looked at the entirely shaking Imperial Princess with a calm and indifferent expression. With a bit of mockery, he said, “You are wrong… this household does not have any relationship with Green Luan Academy or any of the powers that oppose me. They originally had nothing to do with me. But this is precisely what I actually wanted you to witness today.”
The Imperial Princess’ body suddenly went rigid.
“There is something you need to get through your head. Lin Xi cares about these people’s lives, you care about these people’s lives, but I do not. Do you know how many slaves lose their lives in Purgatory Mountain each year, how many serfs there are whose ages are even younger than that little girl?” Zhang Ping looked at her with mockery. He calmly said, “If you don’t obey me, then I will continue to make you watch this. I will kill everyone in this alley, and then head to the next alley, I will even kill a million people in Central Continent City. You should know that I have the ability to do this.”
The carriage moved slightly. Several waves of power moved the rainwater, shooting through courtyard walls like arrows. Sounds of flesh being penetrated sounded from the second household.
Zhang Ping who killed the people in the second household while saying these words didn’t bat an eyelid, his expression just as cold as before. Google search 𝒇𝚛e𝗲𝘸e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝙚𝒍. c૦𝒎
The Imperial Princess was so angry she found it hard to even express her anger. She looked at Zhang Ping and coldly said, “Even if you can slaughter everyone in Central Continent City, what meaning is there in your actions? Only when offset by these people you consider ants, can you feel high and mighty.”
Zhang Ping expressionlessly shook his head. “You are wrong, that is what you think. My way of thinking is entirely different from yours. For someone like me, not even the servitude of a million of these people can match the satisfaction of someone like you serving me.”
The Imperial Princess couldn’t help but scream. “You are a lunatic, you are a deranged beast!”
However, her screaming seemed a bit laughable in Zhang Ping’s eyes. The carriage continued towards the third household.
“Stop!”
When the aura from Zhang Ping’s body blasted open the carriage curtains again, the Imperial Princess’ lips trembled as she shouted, “If this is your final crazy decision, then I’ll help you accomplish your aim.”
“Actually, what I want to understand the most is why you hate me so much.”
Zhang Ping looked at her thin lips, asking peacefully, “You should also understand that I can give you anything Lin Xi can give you. I can give you even more.”
“That is because he is like us, he feels like this world is a beautiful one.” The Imperial Princess raised her head, looking into his cold eyes without any fear. “While you find this world a laughable one.”
“Is this world really beautiful?” A cold and detached smile appeared on the corners of his lips. “I am now actually hoping that he is alive… I want to see this world the two of you see as beautiful defeated more and more. I will definitely feel immense satisfaction when I see his expression at that time.”
