Daoism Revival System: Start with fighting against Debunker Streamer

Chapter 650 - 649: Su Daji’s Warning—The Great Dragon Slayer Demon Is the Candle Dragon? [Update 2]

"Moreover, since you are a person of Daoism, you should understand the kind of fate that awaits one going to that place!"

Su Daji paused for a moment, then continued, "Of course, if you insist on going, it’s none of my business; I don’t care."

She looked completely indifferent.

Lin Heng’s party was just a group of strangers to her. The only acquaintance, ’Nezha,’ was once just an adversary.

There was no relationship worth mentioning between both sides.

The reason for bringing them to the Highland was not out of goodwill.

It was because almost all outsiders were brought here by the Fox Race.

The Divine Coffin requires sacrifice, and the sacrifice requires Tao and blood.

The vital energy and blood spilled by outsiders before the World Mirror is seen are offered to the legendary Divine Coffin.

So, rather than calling the Fox Race in Qingqiu the Holy Race, it is more apt to describe them as messengers.

"Moreover, Nezha, stop wasting your efforts."

"The World Mirror will no longer appear. Your lack of guidance implies everything has already settled."

"Therefore, look forward and don’t be stuck in the past."

Su Daji calmly advised Nezha, who still harbored the idea of summoning the Celestial Road at the altar, her tone very calm, then she looked at Black Rakshasa and said:

"Only the Rakshasa Race can ascend to the Great Dark Asura Highland, so you won’t face any obstruction."

"However, I must remind you that through millions of years, countless Rakshasa Race individuals have ascended that Highland, but none have ever returned."

"I know that your Rakshasa Race holds animosity towards our Qingqiu Fox Race because you’ve long thought that the Rakshasa who vanished after coming to Qingqiu were harmed by us Foxes."

"I can assure you that this is just a misunderstanding due to a lack of understanding from the outside world."

"The Fox Race does not harm anyone in Qingqiu; all Rakshasa who disappear in Qingqiu do so because of the guidance of the World Mirror, leading them to that Highland which only your Rakshasa can ascend."

Su Daji’s reminder to everyone was clouded in indifference, her intention purely kind-hearted, without any ulterior motive.

Whether they choose to believe it or not,

was of no concern to Su Daji.

However, Black Rakshasa couldn’t help but frown: "By what you’ve said, does this not imply that the guidance from the World Mirror is flawed?"

Su Daji immediately retorted solemnly: "The World Mirror cannot be wrong. It represents the power of the owner of the Divine Coffin, which can never be wrong!"

Black Rakshasa couldn’t help but argue: "Yet you claim that my Rakshasa ancestors who went to that Highland never returned?"

Su Daji said: "Not returning doesn’t mean they’re dead, or even if they are, that doesn’t mean the guidance was incorrect."

"After all, how can you be sure that your Rakshasa ancestors aren’t waiting there for revival?"

"Or is there a possibility that the disappearance of you descendants is closely linked to the resurrection of your ancestors?"

Her words were loaded with deeper implications, her tone profoundly meaningful.

"Ahem, ahem!"

The Fox Race Elders interrupted with a series of coughs.

"Every race has its destiny, Daji, don’t meddle too much," said one Elder, their gaze exceedingly indifferent.

"Fine, I spoke too much." Su Daji shrugged indifferently, "I’ve already given the necessary warnings; go to whichever Highland you wish."

After speaking, she seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, your timing is quite unfortunate; in a few days, it will be night. Once night falls, the Highland will be completely shrouded in mist, becoming untraceable."

"However, in a hundred years when daylight returns, everything will return to normal."

"Therefore, I suggest you immediately return to the Grand Thousand Worlds."

"Of course, you can stay in Qingqiu if you wish, but remember to find a treasured ground to seal off your presence during the night, do not reveal yourselves."

"Otherwise, if chosen by the Great Dragon Slayer Demon, you will end up as nourishment to restore its eyes."

Su Daji’s sudden warning left everyone in confusion.

"What do you mean by night?"

"What kind of existence is the Great Dragon Slayer Demon?"

"Why does the next daylight occur in a hundred years?"

This time, not only Black Rakshasa and Six Ears were puzzled, but even Red-bottomed Macaque wore a confused expression.

Lin Heng slightly frowned: "Daoist friend, could you clarify this for us?"

Su Daji, with an air of noble grace, said generously, "Alright then, since I’ve been chatty today, this Nine-tailed Fox will tell you about the alternation of night and day in Qingqiu!"

Then, she began to explain the matter of nightfall with eloquence.

Upon hearing it, everyone realized that in Qingqiu Heaven and Earth, there exists a demon that governs day and night.

This demon is peculiar, embodying both good and evil. With a thought, it can bring daylight, where everything flourishes and teems with life.

With another thought, it brings nightfall, whereby all things fall silent, and mountains of corpses and a sea of blood ensue.

Just like when Lin Heng and others first arrived in Qingqiu, the headless Quasi-Saint and skeleton army that attacked them,

were those that failed to find a treasured ground in their lifetime, and thus, when night fell in Qingqiu, they became sustenance for the Dragon Slayer Demon.

Yet, when daylight returns, the benevolent nature of the Dragon Demon revives those deceased, allowing them to exist as undead skeletons.

Such examples abound in Qingqiu.

This is why,

the skeletons fiercely protect their territory, and why the headless Quasi-Saint tried to expel Lin Heng and others.

Additionally,

according to Su Daji, this Dragon Demon had received serious injuries, making its control over day and night exceedingly erratic.

Each nightfall could last centuries or even millennia!

And the duration of daylight is equally lengthy.

Unfortunately, Lin Heng and his companions happened to arrive in Qingqiu just before the onset of a long night.

"Something’s not right..."

Six-Eared Macaque suddenly frowned and, with suspicious eyes, asked, "You just mentioned that the Dragon Demon’s control over day and night is erratic; how do you know that the long night is imminent?"

Before Su Daji could speak, an elder of the Fox Race arrogantly explained,

"All things in Qingqiu exist because of the Divine Coffin, including the Dragon Demon."

"And our Fox Race, for generations, has borne the mission of sacrificing to the Divine Coffin!"

"When the Dragon Demon intends to initiate the long night, it naturally informs us beforehand!"

Six Ears was dumbfounded upon hearing this.

His curiosity about the Divine Coffin grew even stronger.

Yet, at that moment, Lin Heng wore a peculiar expression. After hesitating for a while, he couldn’t help but ask,

"I heard in legends that the Dragon Race has an ancestor who controls day and night."

"The name is Candle Dragon."

"Is there any relation between this so-called Great Dragon Slayer Demon and the Candle Dragon?"

In fact, not only had he thought of the Candle Dragon, but Red-bottomed Macaque had also immediately thought of that terrifying entity from the Early Primordial Dragon Race upon hearing of one who governs day and night.

The Candle Dragon.

It is a true existence capable of challenging a Saint!

Upon Lin Heng’s inquiry, the Fox Race Elders suddenly burst into laughter.

While Lin Heng was puzzled by their laughter, in the next moment, he heard Su Daji say, "The Great Dragon Slayer Demon is the Candle Dragon."
