    Chapter Index

    “Cut the crap,” the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon glared at me, “Old me came here this time to tell you not to do such risky things in the future.”

    “I know senior is worried about me, but there are some things that I have to do.” I said with a straight face.

    “You, you’re just too kind and too easily trusting,” the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon sighed, “Do you think everyone is like you and will treat their friends with sincerity?”

    “I know that people’s hearts are unpredictable in this world, but I believe that as long as we treat people with sincerity, one day, we will be recognized and rewarded by others.” I said in a firm tone.

    “You ah …… “The Blood Heavenly Dao Demon wanted to say something else, but in the end, he shook his head and turned it into a helpless sigh.

    “Senior, look, the sunset is so beautiful.” I said as I pointed to the distant sky.

    “What’s so great about a sunset? It’s just a reminder to old me that time is running out.” Although the Blood Heavenly Dao Demon said this on his lips, he still couldn’t help but raise his head to look into the distance.

    Looking at the red haze that filled the sky, I couldn’t help but think of the scene before the reincarnation, when the extremely evil Evil Demon was on the verge of death.

    “…… I don’t remember… I don’t remember… When I was a kid, when I was playing with my friends, did I try to kill them too? When did I, become what I am now?”

    “…… Regret? Regret your life of sin?”

    “…… Regret? Why would I regret? The only thing I regret is not killing more people! Hahaha……cough……cough……cough……”

    “…… Scared? Scared of going to hell?”

    “…… Scared? Of course I’m scared! I’m scared …… I’m scared …… ah! I’m so useless! Quick, help me take off this damn mask …… Thank you …… Is this my face?”

    “…… When you were young, you must have had a lot of compliments on your good looks, right? Why did you have to wear a mask for the rest of your life?”

    “…… Because, my master, when he chose me to be his disciple, he once asked me if I would be willing to wear this mask forever for the sake of power, never being able to show my true face. In exchange, he would grant me great power so that I could kill as I pleased. I agreed without hesitation at that time …… hahaha, so it turns out that I was already this appearance from the very beginning, that’s why Master chose me ……”

    “…… After your master died, you obviously had the chance to take off your mask, why didn’t you do that?”

    “…… You haven’t worn a mask, you wouldn’t understand. Once you put on this mask, you will never be able to take it off. Only by hiding behind the mask can I feel at peace, and I can kill, kill, kill without fear …… In the end, I can no longer tell whether it is me who is killing people, or whether it is this mask that is killing people for me ……”

    “…… Are you excusing yourself? All the people you’ve killed are your own choices and have nothing to do with this mask.”

    “…… You finally realized it? Hahaha……cough……cough……I’ve been playing the role of an ‘extremely evil evil demon’ all my life. If I suddenly take off my mask and tell everyone that I don’t want to be the ‘Extremely Evil Evil Demon’ anymore, wouldn’t that be too kosher and evil?”

    “…… you ……”

    “…… Have you ever, even for a moment, thought of me as a friend?”

    “…… I ……”

    “…… You bastard! When I go to hell, I’ll kill you with my own hands!”

    “…… Well, I’ll be waiting.”

    In the end, the extremely evil evil demon died under my sword.

    In order to obtain the materials for the “Reincarnation Technique”, I had to kill him. Although he deserved to die, at the moment before he died, he truly considered me a friend.

    I, on the other hand, never said the word “friend” to him.

    Perhaps, in that moment, I was the one who was truly evil.

    “Father, there is one thing that my child does not understand, and I would like to ask my father for guidance.” I once again came to my father’s study to ask him for advice on a difficult problem I had recently encountered.

    “Speak.” My father replied without looking up, not seeming surprised by my sudden arrival.

    “My child has recently been thinking about what to do in order to become a qualified Devil Dao leader,” I paused and then said, “My child has also tried to go over to contact those evil demons and crooked paths to understand their thoughts, to figure out their minds, and even go so far as to put down my stature and please them! ……”

    I rambled on, pouring out my recent experiences and epiphanies to my father without reservation.

    Father still did not say anything, just quietly listening, occasionally picking up the cup of tea, a light sip of fragrant tea.

    I knew that my father had read my mind. He knew that I just needed a listener, someone I could talk to about what was bothering me without fear.

    “Today, my child went to see the Extremely Wicked Evil Demon,” I took a deep breath and continued, “To be honest, my child hates him, and his practice of talking about evil while killing people in a grassy manner makes my child shudder.”

    “No more killing.” Father suddenly spoke, a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

    I knew that my father was reminding me not to do what I did last time to get what I wanted.

    “But what if one day, the child has to face the extremely evil evil demon again, or even has to kill him with his own hands?” I couldn’t help but ask.

    “That’s your choice too.” Father replied tersely.

    I was silent.

    I know that my father is right, the road is my own choice, no matter what kind of difficulties I will face in the future, I have to bear them alone.

    “My child understands.” I took a deep breath and bowed deeply to my father.

    “Get up,” his father waved his hand, “I don’t suppose you came to see me this time just to talk about that, did you?”

    “I just want to ask my father, if one day, when I don’t know what to do, can I come to him?” I raised my head and looked into my father’s eyes, asking earnestly.

    “You’re already the leader of the Devil’s Way, do you still have to come and ask me about everything?” Father asked rhetorically.

    “Father is a man who has been here before, and your experience and wisdom is my child’s greatest treasure.” I said sincerely.

    Father was silent for a moment, then said slowly:

    “Just as well, since you’ve decided to take this path, I’ll give you another hand.”

    I was overjoyed at the news and hastened to thank my father again.

    I know that although my father doesn’t say it with his mouth, in his heart he actually cares about me.

    “Well, it’s getting late, so go back.” My father waved his hand, signaling me to leave.

    “Yes, father, my child will leave.” I saluted my father once again before turning around and walking out of the study.

    After walking out of the study, I took a deep breath, only to feel that a big stone in my heart, finally fell to the ground.

    Although I know that the road ahead is still full of thorns and bumps, I believe that with my father’s support, I will be able to overcome all the difficulties and ultimately realize my goals.
