Just as they were defeated by the Eight Immortals, the demonic energy within him is no match for righteousness.
The reason why the Holy Lord didn't think of going to the Demon Empire to become king after he lifted the restrictions, but instead went to the Dark Dimension, was because that old man was worried that the conflict between the righteous and demonic energies in his body would suddenly get out of control.
If he simply stayed in the human world, the Saint Seiya would be sent back to Hell without any resistance after that Saint Seiya came out. But if he connected himself to the dark dimension, even if the Eight Immortals descended, they would not be able to lock him back in Hell.
Because of the special nature of the Dark Dimension, the only difference between that hellish place and Hell is that it has an unbreakable connection with the real world, and some special dark life forms will be born there.
In the eyes of the Saints, there is little difference between a demon residing in the Dark Dimension and one residing in Hell.
After all, Hell is not indestructible; the Holy Lord has a lot to say about this, as he escaped from it five times!
Moreover, Daolong possesses ancient spells that help demons escape from hell.
As long as those inside want to get out, and those outside are also eyeing those inside, even the most secure prison will have loopholes.
“I can only impose restrictions, but resolving the conflict is ultimately up to you,” Lopez said.
"Your two opposing sides are incompatible because of yourself; you can't stand yourself."
Although the two personalities after the split of Yin and Yang are incompatible, they would never be like Lü Cheng, where one wants to kill the other.
The only explanation is that Lü Cheng had this thought in his subconscious all along!
He hated himself and even wanted to kill himself!
It's not just Lü Cheng who's become extreme after the split; this kid's usual state is also very extreme!
"If a fight breaks out, can you pull me back like the Holy Lord did last time?" Lu Cheng asked.
“I will place a limiting spell on you, and when the conflict can no longer be contained, you will automatically become one,” Lope said.
"But you must understand that neither side after the split is the real you."
"Only the current you is truly you."
"You are a human being, not a demon."
Lu Cheng sat quietly in place, waiting for Lope to complete the restriction spell.
Daolong sat to one side, observing the Qi Magic Spell that Lope cast.
Although Lope succeeded in turning Shendu to stone, countless wizards had already been slaughtered by Shendu before he could develop and put his spell into use.
Whether they were righteous wizards or dark wizards, almost all of them were wiped out by the Holy Lord.
Especially the dark magic wizards, those self-righteous fools thought their magic could deal with demons, and many dark magic wizards even wanted to seize the power of the Holy Lord. The result was obvious, the greedy dark magic wizards were almost all wiped out.
The reason his lineage has retained a lot of knowledge is that his grandmaster was self-aware and not good at combat magic. He stayed in the ancient castle passed down through generations to study the spell of immortality and did not participate in the war.
Lope's current air magic spell doesn't require a bunch of complicated potions to assist it; it relies directly on his own air magic to activate, making it extremely difficult, but its power is also quite outrageous.
Although he mastered some dark magic that could be activated directly without assistance by studying dark spells, his power was still far inferior to Lope's.
"The spell is complete. Now it's up to you." Lope stepped aside, his movements stiffening, and within a few breaths, he turned to stone.
Lu Cheng put away Lope's stone statue and looked at Dao Long, "Can you figure out the details of this curse?"
Dao Long's eye twitched slightly. "Can't you use any common sense?"
Magic requires systematic learning, especially complex air spells like these. A wizard with average talent might never learn even one in his entire life!
Moreover, the part that the Qi Demon Spell can see is the result of the spell already being activated. The essence of the spell is the process. He didn't see any of the process, so how could he possibly see anything?
“If you don’t understand, just say you don’t understand. I won’t laugh at you…” Lu Cheng pouted and turned to walk towards Xingyu Tianshu.
The Dark Gate opened, and Shendu and the demon dragon emerged from the Dark Dimension.
“Holy Lord, if Lope’s spell doesn’t work later, we’ll have to rely on you,” Lu Cheng said.
"I'll do my best," the Holy Lord said, sounding somewhat unsure.
He went to the Dark Dimension to take a place because he wasn't confident about this matter. He originally planned to resolve it slowly, but he didn't expect Lope to speak so bluntly.
Isn't that guy worried that the conflict will get out of control?
"This is no joke. If you don't do your best, we're all doomed!" Lu Cheng said seriously.
He had no desire to become some kind of holy warrior. He had already suffered enough and had no interest in undergoing any more of this ridiculous training!
"How about we bring those young girls over?" the Holy Lord suggested.
"If we really can't stop them later, I'll let them go. You definitely won't have the heart to hit them."
Lu Cheng's eye twitched violently. "Can't you think of a more reliable solution?"
“I think it works,” said the little devil dragon.
"If it weren't for that little girl's appearance last time, you would probably have remained in that split state forever."
"Moreover, even if they die in an accident, we can collect their souls at any time, and at worst, they can be resurrected later."
Lu Cheng's face darkened. "You want me to kill my own wife? You really have some ideas!"
"It's this feeling that makes them more useful—the more reluctant you are to part with them!" the Holy Lord said.
"Now is the time for them to come in handy."
"Don't be reluctant. After all, if something goes wrong with this, we're all doomed. Even if they survive, it won't concern you anymore."
“Yes, maybe they’ll find someone to marry in a while,” Ximu said.
Even if I remember you, how many years can I remember you?
"Human emotions are both strong and fragile; you should know this better than I do."
"Even if you're gone, and they're still alive, do you think the survivors will have a good time?"
"If life is unbearable, it's better not to live at all. If life is good, it means you're not that important to them. If they don't care about you that much, why should you care so much?"
"..."
Lü Cheng looked puzzled.
Damn it, how come you learned such a smooth way of lying from him?
I fooled him with his theories, leaving him with no way to refute them!
"You just have to figure it out."
Lu Cheng said no more, and the image of the tiger tally appeared in his eyes.
"Damn it! Wait until we're somewhere far away before you do it!"
Ximu and the others quickly hid in the darkness and teleported away to create distance.
The next instant, the tiger talisman in Lü Cheng's eyes split in two, a bright light flashed, and Lü Cheng himself was split into two again.
This time, the light and the darkness did not make a move immediately, but instead fell into an eerie silence.
Daolong, who was not far away, watched the scene unfold with tension.
To be honest, he didn't quite understand. After all, just as Lü Cheng would be sucked into Hell when Shendu was imprisoned there, if this Saint Seiya sent his other demon into Hell, he himself would be imprisoned there as well.
Although Yin and Yang are separated, Lu Cheng's demonic side has human aspects, so there's no reason why his Saint Seiya side wouldn't have them as well.
As long as you are human, you will have desires.
Lu Cheng had things he couldn't let go of: his friends, those who cared about him.
This world is teeming with demons, and whether or not demons exist will not make this world any worse.
Is it worthwhile to give up everything for something that makes no difference whether you do it or not?
"You want to save this tree?" Saint Seiya Lu Cheng spoke first.
"Why? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural. The prosperity and decline of a group are also natural. If you save it today, it will still die tomorrow. Is such an action meaningful?"
"Then why don't you dare to fight me?" the demon Lu Cheng laughed.
"..."
The two fell silent again.
Ximu and his companions, who were hiding in the shadows ready to lend a hand at any moment, were a little bewildered.
Why haven't they started fighting yet?
"Why does this Saint Seiya seem a little different from the last one?" Zhou Lan said.
If it were the one from Bocheng, he'd probably already be wielding the Chunyang Sword and starting to fight.
"Father, it seems our spell has really worked." The little demon dragon breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you mean?" Ximu asked, puzzled.
No, what have you two been doing secretly this time?
Can't you have some team spirit?
