After finishing the call with his master, Meng Chuan felt a bit sentimental and drifted off to sleep.
He had a feeling, as the matters of the temple surfaced, that he was gradually moving away from peaceful days.
"Celestial demons..."
This trial also deepened Meng Chuan's understanding of celestial demons.
At the root, their various manifestations in the mortal world are all for... power.
Whether it's the demon path minions stealing divine faith, or the fallen ones lurking in the Demon Summoning Hall, they're all extracting nourishment from the mortal world for the celestial demons behind them.
These invaders from another realm are eroding the mortal world by stealing faith and corrupting gods.
Every Demon Nest is a beachhead for invasion, and martial arts is humanity's last weapon.
The existence of the temple further confirms this, as those gods tainted by demons are merely stepping stones for the celestial demons to break the inter-realm rules.
