The circle of the sun's rays is gradually approaching the straight line of the earth. The speed of approach seems to be felt. The moment they intersected, the sphere bounced back on the horizon, and a fiery arc of light erupted at the tangent point, and the sun and the earth melted together in this dazzling light.

Almost at the same time, a cool breeze swept against the earth, and the evening breeze spread slowly, gently coating the earth with a layer of ultramarine and a layer of light purple, until the sky and the earth were chaotic and dark.

"Demon Venerable," one of the attendants stood in front of the big devil who the system said had the strength to compete for the position of the Demon King. "Lately, the desert oasis doesn't seem to have any particularly powerful forces stationed there!"

"Well, keep watching," the big devil nodded in agreement. "Remember, don't let anyone suspicious go. Otherwise, we may become our great enemies in the future. ”

"Yes, Demon Venerable!" The waiter went down in response.

An open place is the easiest place to meditate, but at the same time the most dangerous place. A faint gust of wind swept by, and the Great Devil was immediately on alert.

"Friend, since you are already here, why hide your head and tail?" He said brightly. "Although your mana is strong, the demonic nature on your body is still as light as clear water, I think you are just passing through the demon world."

"Hehe," Ning Xiao smiled and walked out of the void. "I deserve to be a big man in the demon world, I walked so lightly, and I was still discovered by you."

"Oh!" The big devil didn't expect that it would be a beautiful woman who came out, and his eyes couldn't help but shine. The Demon Realm advocates a free and casual life, and does not hide its coveting of beautiful things. The Great Demon King is naturally no exception.

"Bold!" The system has become accustomed to this model of the Demon Realm, and the little incense burner is a little unable to adapt to it. Therefore, as soon as she saw the big devil looking at Ning Xiao unscrupulously, she shouted out angrily. "You are not allowed to covet my master so much."

"Hehe," the big devil laughed. "Little girl, your master is outstanding, with a good figure, as long as he is a male, he will not be able to control his eyes. You don't make a fuss. ”

The little incense burner didn't reply to him, but came to Ning Xiao and whispered, "Master, I can't stand that guy's bohemianism. I'm still flashing!"

"Good!" Ning Xiao smiled and nodded in response.

"Bang!" The small incense burner disappeared immediately.

Although this was a fleeting event, it scared the big devil. For he could not feel at all how the little incense burner had disappeared without a trace. Think about it again, if the small incense burner suddenly appeared, it was very likely that he would not feel it. If a squire is still capable of this, the power of the master will only be even greater than that. In the demon world, it is an iron law that cannot be changed when the strong are respected.

"I wonder what your Excellency is looking for?" At this moment, the big devil threw himself at Ning Xiao with a jealous look.

"It's nothing," Ning Xiao was still calm. "Just wanted to tell a story."

"Please!" The big devil replied with a straight face.

"This is a story about the divine realm," Ning Xiao began to narrate.

There was a boy and his father who were punished by the gods and imprisoned on an isolated island. His father, a craftsman, used the island's candles to make two pairs of elaborate wings, one for himself and one for the boy, so that he could fly out of the island and escape captivity.

Before taking off, his father warned the boy in every possible way: "The wings are made of wax and will melt when heated." Therefore, you must never fly high and avoid the sun. ”

The boy replied unexpectedly, "I remember." ”

After flying, perhaps because he had never seen the ocean and islands from above, the boy's heart was filled with curiosity and ecstasy. Gradually, he moved away from his father, forgetting his father's admonitions, and he felt his body being carried by thin wings, and greeted the bright sun with joy. He flies as high as the clouds.

Soon, the transparent wax wings stopped flapping. The boy felt the thin, transparent wings melt like tears

Drops of liquid fly away in the sunlight. In an instant, the boy fell sharply. A burst of dizziness, a kind of extreme speed, a crash, like a wave crashing into a reef, he is also like a wave, shattered into tens of millions of points, and fell into the sea......

The revelation of this story is that hot-headedness is often accompanied by failure, as the so-called "happiness begets sorrow".

……

"Don't say it," the big devil quickly reacted. He replied with a sneer: "I haven't been happy yet, how can I be sad?" ”

"Oh," Ning Xiao was still in a good mood. She smiled. "Then, let my subordinates tell you what 'happiness and sorrow' are!"

"Koyanagi," she said, calling out the system. "Just tell him what happiness is and what sorrow is, right?"

"Yes, master!" The system readily agreed.

He stepped forward, didn't say anything polite, and directly shot at the big devil. The Great Devil also calmly met his attack. The two guys suddenly went back and forth, and the fight was fierce.

Since both the system and the big devil are strong, the subordinates on the big devil's side, like Ning Xiao and Xiao Xianglu, can only be spectators on the sidelines, looking forward to the final victory.

"Heh," the little incense burner looked at with relish. She wasn't worried about the system in the arena at all. "Master, you can see it accurately. The big devil system can handle it completely. ”

"Of course!" Ning Xiao took some food and handed it to the small incense burner. Although the demon world is full of talents, its life is still primitive, and there is not even a radio, let alone TV and movies. A master fight like this is a rare pastime. It's quite pleasant to eat and watch.

"If not, how could I encourage Xiao Yanagi to play as the king of this demon world?"

"Uh-huh-" Now, the little incense burner didn't have the heart to watch the fight. She shook her head resolutely. "Master, Koyanagi and I swear to follow you to the death. Don't say that the king of the demon realm, even the king of the god realm, can't tempt us. ”

"Huh!" Hearing this, Ning Xiao laughed. She lit the cocked nose of the small incense burner. "What, I'm afraid I will say that the system is not good? You're not heartless after all!"

"Master!" Hearing this, the little incense burner blushed. "I'm not a kid anymore! I've lived longer than the Turtle King. ”

"Haha!" Ning Xiao smiled even more. She pointed to the small incense burner: "You, everything is good, but you have mastered this degree too tightly." ”

"No!" The little incense burner shook his head. "Master, this is my principle. Because if you grasp your own degree in everything you do, you will be able to leave room for yourself. As long as it does not exceed my limit, even if I encounter a big thing or a big air crash, I can still use it as a cover on the same day. ”

"yes!" The words of the little incense burner moved Ning Xiao quite a lot. She thought about it for a while, and had to nod her head in agreement.

At this moment, the battle between the system and the big devil also came to an end. As Ning Xiao and Xiao Xianglu expected, the big devil was defeated by the system.

"I'm defeated," said the big devil convincingly. "I'll leave this desert oasis to you."

"I don't think so," the system smoothed out the marks of the fight on his body. "Although you and I were born between heaven and earth, heaven and earth have never been the existing place for you and me to settle down. Birds built nests, animals dug holes, and a hut was built in the desert. This hut is the first home in the true sense of the word. The establishment of a home is the real groundbreaking. It expands on the first void question, which in turn also triggers the beginning of historical time. ”

"Although the ancestors built this home, they were never the masters of this home. You and I have a sacred mission to be the guardians of this home. Guarding not only means defending against external aggression and maintaining inner peace, but it also means heeding the silent call of this home. We must always be aware that we are part of this family, that we belong to the unity of heaven, earth, and demon. The earth is the foundation of the devil, and the sky is the measure of the devil. ”

"It is with this home that the devil can get out of this home. The demon went to the wilderness of nature and went to build a world. This separation between the devil and the family is not the forgetting of the meaning of home, but the manifestation of the meaning of home. Because if you stick to your home, the relationship between the devil and your home becomes a familiar fact. It is only in the separation of the demon from the home that the home reveals to the demon its unbreakable fateful nature. The farther away from home, the closer you will be. ”

"We want to build not only this home of reality, but also of a spirit. When the first demons built a hut between heaven and earth, although they were given a place to live, they faced uneasiness in this safety. It was born from the moment he awoke from the chaos of heaven and earth. Who is the demon, what is his position in heaven and earth, where does he come from, and where is he going? I feel the fear of life and death all the time. And the ghosts and gods who bring luck and bad luck at some point are all unknown realms that demons are afraid of. ”

"It goes without saying that these are the years of homelessness. The demon is born in the world, as if he is in a foreign land, and he does not know who he is. For he is no longer a descendant of heaven and earth, and does not know whence he came from or where he is going. The growth of the spirit makes the individual aware of the nihilism of the basis and purpose of the universal scale. As a result, the fog of nihilism and the atmosphere of empty life are boiled. It is the thirst that the spirit has aroused after abandoning its primitive, simple complacency: to find a true home. ”

"But you and I have been ignoring and obscuring such longings. It manifests itself as a contradiction between infinite material satisfaction and finite spiritual sublimation. The demon is equated with the desires of his flesh. He is caught in a vicious circle of desire and satisfaction, new desire and new satisfaction, and the thirst of the spirit cannot be understood. It is simply ridiculed as an unrealistic fantasy. ”

"The demons only believe that what they need is material consumption, not spiritual sublimation. Or, if the desire for spiritual sublimation is desired, then material consumption can compensate for it. But there can be a sharp opposition between the material and the spiritual. Where material poverty ends, it is when spiritual poverty begins. ”

"You mean," the big devil understood. "It's not a bad thing that there is no demon king in the demon world! Because you and I don't have a unified mind for the high-level Demon Venerables to benefit this Demon Realm. ”

"Yes!" The system was elated. That's what I'm going to say. There has been no demon king for tens of thousands of years, and the demon world has also adapted to this leaderless state of dragons. Why bother breaking it? Unite you and me, the weighty guys. Everyone sat down and negotiated to see how to build the Demon Realm well. In this way, the demon world without a demon king will no longer be a group of dragons without a leader. ”

"Is there a system like this?" The big devil was a little surprised by the idea of the system, and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes—" The system responded quickly. "This kind of system has long appeared in the human world, called 'republic'."
