The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 801 - 307: The Origin Conjecture of Demons and Gods
The discussion diverged; after Lin Yun and Purple Lightning parted ways, Lin Yun left on his own.
After some time researching, he finally managed to simulate the aura of a Great Demon.
For Lin Yun, the real difficulty wasn’t the aura of the Demon Race, as he already had ample Demonic Qi within him and others wouldn’t suspect his identity as part of the Demon Race.
The issue was that his lineage level was too high; others couldn’t perceive his strength and would naturally think he was stronger than them.
In the long run, he wouldn’t be able to stay undercover effectively.
After all, his strength was only superficial, fortunately the first person he encountered was the relatively stable and imaginative Purple Lightning. If he met someone stubborn who would test his abilities first, wouldn’t that spell trouble?
Lin Yun didn’t have any demonic methods up his sleeve, acting rashly when cornered would also expose him.
Fortunately, after the temporal chaos, although Lin Yun’s cultivation realm hadn’t greatly improved, he had gained strong control over his powers and lineage.
He could even completely separate a certain power from his blood, which was key to disguising himself as a Great Demon.
In the Demon Capital, being a Great Demon was quite ordinary and wouldn’t attract any attention.
And leaving from the residence of Demon Venerable Purple Lightning was also very safe. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
The fact that Purple Lightning had placed him there was enough to show that this place wasn’t afraid of prying eyes, and the only one who could pry was Purple Lightning herself, but she probably wouldn’t dare.
Thus, Lin Yun walked onto the streets of the Demon Capital.
To avoid attracting attention, he wore a special mask on his face.
The mask was crafted from Bai Jiaojiao’s Dragon Scales to make it appear as if scales naturally grew on his face and adding fake horns on his head, this disguise made him look just like an ordinary Demon Capital civilian.
The streets of the Demon Capital were very bustling. As Lin Yun walked from the south to the north of the city, what he saw the most were taverns, martial arts schools, and brothels.
Now was considered daytime in the Demon Land, and the brothels and taverns were thriving with lots of scantily-clad various witches greeting customers on the streets, and some strong demon men performing deeply philosophical dances on the streets, almost dazzling Lin Yun’s eyes.
People hurried along, and nobody seemed to notice Lin Yun, an observer.
"The resemblance between the Demon Race and Human Race is very high, from physique to culture, there must be deep connections here."
Thanks to Hu Yuling, Lin Yun had a certain understanding of the physical structure of the Demon Race. Initially, he thought Hu Yuling was an exception, but upon reaching the stronghold of the Demon Race and seeing many demons, Lin Yun finally confirmed that what he learned from Hu Yuling was a common trait of the Demon Race.
The demons all looked human-like, the only differences being their horns and tails. Their aesthetics weren’t much different from humans either; males tended to be strong and robust, and females tended towards being delicate and often voluptuous.
Including their script, though different from the current script of the Human Race and the Dragon script Lin Yun had seen, but looking at its structure, it felt like they had the same origin.
"Let me make a bold guess, according to the law of opposition and coexistence of Yin and Yang, the clarity and muddiness separated yet coexisting, the opposite of gods are demons, could it be that Demons and Gods might have originally coexisted, or even possibly been created by the same creator?"
Lin Yun felt his guess might be too bold.
People are always curious about the origins of life, in Lin Yun’s previous life, the origin of humanity was never resolved, only hypotheses existed.
And the theory of divine creation was the most popular explanation in ancient times.
This theory was almost never mentioned in the scientific age, but in this world where Immortal Gods exist, it made sense that Demons, Gods, and Humans were all created by a higher God.
Hmm?
A flash of insight crossed Lin Yun’s mind; he recalled a certain inscription he had once seen, with three continuous "**creation**" characters, doesn’t that correspond exactly to the three races of Humans, Gods, and Demons?
But, it seems there is no such legend in the Mortal Realm about the creation of humans?
This doesn’t make sense!
Lin Yun was deeply horrified as he thought it through; after his transmigration and in between cultivating, he didn’t forget to read extensively. In all the ancient texts, there was no legend about the creation of humans.
This shouldn’t be happening!
Even if nobody knows, there will still be those who speculate.
Humans are naturally curious about where they come from.
Unless, that nature was erased by some power.
"Darn, my brain is truly the biggest disaster."
Lin Yun massaged his temples; he had let his imagination run too wild yet again.
But the terrifying thing is, his wild speculations weren’t new—they had been occurring for days, and although outrageous, his guesses nearly always turned out to be accurate.
This feeling made Lin Yun feel quite peculiar, even giving him the illusion as if his speculations manifested the events themselves.
It could very well be because he was too intelligent and had guessed the answers immediately.
"Let’s not think about this for now; dealing with the Demon Race’s invasion comes first. The barrier set by the Tenth Legion can hold temporarily, but I fear the other barriers might collapse as well, which would cause major troubles."
Lin Yun started to think about how to completely ignite the Demon Race’s powder keg. The Royalist Party and the Ambition Party are like fire and water—explosive on contact; yet, they hadn’t erupted in years, definitely for a reason.
Lin Yun had a plan in mind but figuring out how to implement it still needed careful observation.
Suddenly, sensing something, he turned his head and saw a grand procession slowly approaching, with three tigers leading the front and five dragons flanking the rear, stirring the winds and clouds with an awe-inspiring aura.
All the demons on the street stepped aside, and Lin Yun blended into the crowd, hiding to one side.
Someone important was surely arriving, but what he sensed was on the vehicle.
"Who is this with such a grand spectacle?"
Lin Yun heard a Demon asking. He perked up his ears to listen and, sure enough, an enthusiastic Demon responded, "Are you from the countryside? This is none other than Lord Qing Shuang Demon Venerable."
"Truly formidable, a hero indeed."
This voice carried a clear admiration, while another slightly childish voice stated, "One could potentially replace him."
Lin Yun: "..."
Are you guys reenacting a rivalry akin to Chu and Han here?
While Lin Yun was still critiquing inwardly, he saw two streaks of azure light shooting out from the carriage, striking the two Great Demons who had just spoken. In an instant, their demonic Qi dispersed, and their bodies disintegrated, dying on the spot.
The nearby crowd scattered, and Lin Yun was the fastest to flee.
On the carriage, Qing Shuang Demon Venerable’s face was filled with delight.
"Such a treasure, indeed a fantastic treasure!"
He caressed the box in his arms, experiencing the power of the Azure Dragon Horn for the moment.
It was easy for him to kill a Great Demon, but he couldn’t directly harm the essence of the Demon Race like the Azure Dragon Horn.
With this treasure, his chances of assassinating Demon Venerable Purple Lightning were even greater.
Among the crowd on the street, Lin Yun watched the carriage and made up his mind.
The treasure he sensed must definitely be that object.
Not only did he sense it, but the Canglan inside his body also reacted...
