Chapter 4: Worry not about scarcity but inequality
......
After some twists and turns, Lu Cheng once again pulled the Holy Master out of hell.
"So, Holy Lord, can you answer my question now?" Lu Cheng politely made hot tea for Holy Lord.
"If I tell you this, when my brothers and sisters come out, they will kill me." The Holy Lord said quietly.
"But Ximu has already told me something." Lu Cheng said.
“I am a descendant of the immortal god, and I am the descendant of the immortal god who happened to restrain you. The power of the devil cannot corrode my soul unless I accept it actively, so you take a huge risk and sign a contract with me. The eternal contract of yin and yang balance. "
"This is the only way for you to leave hell."
Although he doesn't know how he has the status of being a descendant of the immortal gods, this sword, this restraint of the Holy Lord. The token of immortality really exists.
He didn't fully believe Ximu's words, and the demons didn't love each other. Therefore, if he wanted to know the truth, he had to get the answer from different demons.
The Holy Lord is the smartest, most selfish and hypocritical of the demons, and the most difficult to deal with. However, perhaps due to fate, he just happened to restrain the Holy Lord!
Once other demons leave hell, they become free bodies. The contract between him and the demon only allows him to obtain the power of the demon, but does not give him the ability to control the demon.
Only the Holy Lord!
The Pure Yang Sword on his body allows him to beat the Holy Lord back to hell at will!
Any time!
Even if the Holy Lord returns to his peak in the future, there is nothing he can do!
"In a sense, we are actually the closest partners." Lu Cheng poured hot tea for the Holy Master.
"I can restrain you, but I can't restrain other demons, so I can't trust them."
"The only one I can trust is you!"
Saint The Lord sneered, "You want me to help you deal with other demons?"
"Don't forget! You are the descendant of the immortal gods and my enemy!"
"And they are my fellow demons!"
"Fellow demons?" Lu Cheng asked. eccentric.
“How do you have the nerve to say such a thing?”
“Who left hell to rule the earthly kingdom alone? Who broke his promise?”
"In the end, who personally defeated the demon dragon that is about to rule the world?"
"You can't even tolerate your own son, and will you treat other demons as compatriots?"
"Holy Lord , it’s just the two of us here, there’s no need to deal with those nonsense.”< br>
"Ximu has betrayed your so-called Demon Alliance in order for me to take him out first next time. Why can't you betray them?"
"It's not your first time anyway. Yes, once it was fresh, the second time it was familiar.”
The Holy Lord's expression remained unchanged, "That was before. I did betray my compatriots because of my temporary lust for gain, but it's different now. You are different!"
"What's different?" Lu Cheng asked.
“Because I am the descendant of the so-called immortal god?”
“Because I happen to restrain you?”
“Holy Lord, there are no eternal friends, only eternal friends. Interest, you know this truth best, otherwise you would not have chosen to betray your fellow demons and rule the earthly kingdom alone, nor would you have chosen to help humans defeat your son.”
"You are selfish."
"Now, among the eight demons, I can only restrain you. Are you willing to do so?"
"It is not about scarcity, but about inequality~ "
"..."
The Holy Lord narrowed his eyes slightly.
This guy is not pure!
He has also dealt with the descendants of immortal gods. During the time when he ruled the earthly kingdom alone, such humans who were protected by immortal gods appeared in the world. Those descendants of the gods had no tokens and could not fight him back to hell, but the aura of the immortal gods on their bodies would still restrain his power.
So, he couldn't face those humans.
The descendants of the gods are all upright and unyielding until death. No matter what temptations he gives, the descendants of the gods never waver!
Just like a fucking saint!
So, after the temptation failed, he changed his strategy.
The devil cannot attack the saint, but what about humans?
Human greed, selfishness, and hypocrisy are no less than those of the devil!
The only difference between them is power!
If he can't seduce saints, he can't seduce humans?
Driven by profit, those ridiculous descendants of the immortal gods all died in the hands of their own people without exception!
"You don't look like a descendant of the immortal gods." The Holy Lord said.
A bit like Saint Seiya.
The descendants of the immortal gods are so divine!
They don't understand human nature and only want to save the world. They can only see the devil in front of them and cannot see the danger hidden behind them. Therefore, without exception, they are betrayed by the fellow humans they believe in.
But the Saints are different. They have the goals of saints and know the dangers of human nature.
Lope!
The Saint who sealed him relied on his control of human nature to instigate his subjects to rebel and end his rule!
The human being in front of him clearly had the aura of an immortal god and a token to restrain him, but it was completely different from the descendants of the gods he had dealt with before.
From the moment this kid was willing to accept the devil's contract to bring him out of hell, he already felt something was wrong.
Now, this kid actually wants to instigate rebellion against the devil?
Use demons to restrain demons?
This is not something a saint would do!
This boy is impure!
"I don't look like that?" Lu Cheng picked up the tea cup.
"What do the serious descendants of the immortal gods look like?"
"The same as the true saints you humans call." The Holy Lord said.
"No selfish desires, philanthropy, kindness, tolerance for everything...a group of idiots."
The descendants of the immortal gods are more powerful than the saints, and the protection from the gods can even allow them to fight the devil head-on!
However, they don’t understand humans and are doomed to fail!
"That's it...then, are you willing to cooperate with me?" Lu Cheng asked.
The Holy Lord hesitated for a moment, "How to cooperate?"
To be honest, he was the only one who was restrained and could be sent back to hell at any time. This feeling is too uncomfortable!
It is right to worry not about scarcity but about inequality!
"You help me control other demons, and I can respect you." Lu Cheng said.
“Respect?” The Holy Lord narrowed his eyes.
"How to respect?"
"For example..." Lu Cheng once again served the Holy Master hot tea.
“This is it now.”
"We can have a cooperative relationship of equals. I won't yell at you, respect your wishes, and won't force you to do anything. I won't just beat you back to hell casually, or pull you away without saying a word. Come out."
"To put it simply, I can treat you as an equal partner, not a barking dog."
The Holy Master's expression froze.
His current situation is indeed no different from that of a dog!
The original power contract of yin and yang balance only gave half of his power to this human being. However, Curse Lan and the others were worried about his betrayal again, so they placed a restriction on him!
As long as he leaves hell, he cannot disobey this human order!
Otherwise he can't do anything!
This restriction will remain until all the remaining demons escape from hell!
If he wants to get out of this situation, he must find a way to let this human being release all other demons!
Fortunately, Curse Lan and the others still have some conscience and did not tell this human being about the effects of the ban, otherwise...
He has truly become a summoned beast!
