The birth of the Demon Sword did not completely rely on the empathy of the demon race, but in the later stage of the war, in the face of those demon generals and demon kings who had endless means and elusiveness, empathy immediately became a necessary trump card.

The demon empathy network,It was designed and enforced by the Demon Emperor himself,It has been used for more than a million years,It has long become the deep-rooted nature of every demon race.,Even the Demon Emperor himself has merged with this network.,So even if the demon knows that its own empathy network is being used by others,There's nothing to be done.。

Because the demons can't do without this net.

In the later stage of the war, especially when the Demon Emperor himself came to the battlefield in person, and broke the balance of power on the battlefield with peerless demon attacks many times, even if it was a Divine Sword outside the sky, he had to take out all the hole cards in hand in order to compete with the opponent on an equal footing.

During the Great War of Immortals and Demons, the Demon Sword repeatedly performed miraculous feats, relying on Wang Jiu's skillful application of it, even the Demon Emperor himself was occasionally caught off guard by ambush and hit, and its value was as high as you can imagine.

So after the recovery, Wang Jiu soon began to rebuild the Finger Demon Sword.

It's just that until the prototype of the Finger Demon Sword was completed, and the initial exploration of the Xiangzhou Continent was completed, Wang Jiu himself didn't realize that there was a huge problem in it.

The core part of the Demon Sword of the Kyushu Era came from a high-ranking demon clan that Wang Jiu killed when he was a human, and the rest of the heavenly and earthly treasures were just auxiliary roles. After that, the Outer Heaven Divine Sword went deep into the battlefield, slaughtering countless demons, and the Demon Sword became more and more sharp.

But in the Xiangzhou era, the sword world was completely destroyed by the Demon Emperor, and the rest of the demon race has been extinct for a long time, so where did the forging materials for this magic sword come from?

Wang Jiu himself hadn't even considered this problem, when he built the Finger Demon Sword, he just extracted the drawings of the Finger Demon Sword from memory, and then everything fell into place. It wasn't until just now that Wang Jiu suddenly realized that a key link was actually missing from this process!

On the issue of the demon race, the Outer Heaven Divine Sword has always been meticulous, after a great battle of immortals and demons, everyone including the Nine Immortal Venerable has made mistakes, even low-level mistakes, but the Outer Heaven Divine Sword has only a handful of forced mistakes, his rigor is close to the way of heaven, born to punish demons, it is not a lie.

But the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, which was so rigorous and serious, turned a blind eye to the flaws that existed on the Demon Finger Sword!

And when he realized his omission, Wang Jiu also realized the problem of the Demon Sword.

This omission must not be just an omission, but a deeper reason is hidden.

So, why did the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, which never made mistakes back then, make such a serious mistake after waking up, and didn't realize it for a long time?

What is the difference between yourself then and now? Does this difference make a difference?

Based on a simple logical judgment, Wang Jiu quickly found the answer.

It's my memory that's wrong.

Although the difference in other aspects is more obvious, such as the strength of the sword world, the average intelligence index of the people around him...... But none of these can constitute the subjective mistakes of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, except that in terms of memory, there is an extremely obvious difference between the present and the past.

Most of the memories of the battle with the Demon Emperor have been lost.

In fact, this is the problem that has always made the Outer Heaven Excalibur feel uncomfortable, and his memory is very good, especially on important issues, he will never miss a single thing, but most of his memories with the Demon Emperor have been lost.

Previously, Wang Jiu judged that this part of the amnesia was due to injury, but now it seems that the amnesia is not forced amnesia, but subjective amnesia.

That part of the memory was consumed by him.

Memories are, of course, expendable.

Although for ordinary people, the so-called memory is nothing more than an intangible and substantial thought, but for the Outer Heaven Divine Sword and his opponent, the Great Demon God Emperor, the idea is no longer just a formless and substantial nothingness.

The ability of the two of them, if placed in ancient times, is an out-and-out creator - they can create a world with their own strength, and even at the beginning of the chaos of all things, they opened the world and created something out of nothing.

However, of course, this miracle of creation also comes at a price: the mind of the Creator.

In order to make something, the creator must first sketch out the blueprint of the object in his mind, and gradually refine it from the framework to the details, and finally the thing will take shape in the mental world, and the real world will also appear materialized projections. For outsiders, this is the supreme supernatural power of making something out of nothing, but for the creator himself, it is not out of nowhere, and Hu Si consumes his own ideas in exchange for the equivalent.

The more complex the thing, the more difficult it is to construct the physical object in the mind, and the greater the consumption, of course, for those who really have the magical powers of the creator, this mental consumption is insignificant. The real difficulty is that some things are difficult to exist in the mind of the Creator. More than impossible, it is more unthinkable.

Part of this unthinkability is limited to individual insight—what has not been seen, it is difficult to imagine, and even difficult to deduce. The other part is limited to the individual's ability to understand, and the way some things exist is too different from the creator, even if you see it, it is difficult to understand, and the demon race is the most typical example.

This peculiar civilization, from the moment it was born, was extremely incredible, according to the laws of general civilization, this kind of murderous and self-destructive race should have disappeared long ago before the birth of the Great Demon God Emperor - they should not even have developed their own civilization. In addition, according to the history of the demons collected later, this civilization also encountered many difficulties that were impossible to overcome with common sense during the southern and northern wars, but in the end, the demons had the last laugh.

So how do you understand this race? Either break the common sense that you have accumulated for decades and accept the common sense of the demons in its entirety, or you keep your common sense and regard the demons as an outlier outside of common sense.

The Outer Heaven Divine Sword is the person who has the deepest understanding of the Demon Race on the Kyushu Continent, but even if it is the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, it can only regard the Demon Race as an alien, and the truth of the Demon Race does not work here in the Outer Heaven Divine Sword, so Wang Jiu wants to use the Creation Divine Power to directly create the Demon Race, which is almost a fantasy.

The only thing he can do is to mechanically copy what he sees and hears, and this copying is an irreversible consumption, and all the things that are projected consume Wang Jiu's memory.

After many years of crisscrossing the battlefield in the Immortal Demon War, Wang Jiu has retained too many memories of the Demon Race, but he doesn't really understand the Demon Race, so he wants to use the core empathy network of the Demon Race to forge the Demon Sword, but the memory that can be used is only the most precious fragment of countless memories.

It is a precious resource that cannot be obtained repeatedly, and once consumed, it is impossible to make up for it by logical deduction from other fragments.

And when the demons are extinct, it is even more impossible to let the memories come back out.

Use it up, and it's gone.

After Wang Jiu created the second finger demon sword, the memory of this sword in his mind vanished, and all the scaly claws related to it also disappeared, so it was not until just now that he finally realized this truth.

From now on, there will never be a finger sword again.

——

"Original...... So, you've never told us before. Zhao Shenlu sighed with some regret, "It's okay not to tell the business girl, why do you even want to hide it from me?" ”

Wang Jiu said: "Using memory to create physical objects is a magical power that I only comprehended during the decisive battle, and before that, everything in the sword world was created with materials on the material level. ”

"Also, the first finger demon sword was made with the golden devil's unicorn after you killed the golden demon with a three-point sword, at that time you were already a heavenly divine sword, and your strength was comparable to that of the demon emperor, but you didn't have a magical power out of nothing...... But according to what you say, today, when the demon race is extinct, this finger demon sword is already a unique relic, why did you ...... just now Use it up? ”

Using it, using it, are obviously two very different ways of using it.

Since Wang Jiu has always been obsessed with the existence of the demon race, and suspects that the great battle of the year was not fully successful—in fact, there are indeed many remnants of the demon clan, and even Qingyun Peak has awakened a former demon general—then why did he simply consume the Finger Demon Sword?

Wang Jiu pondered for a long time and said, "After creating the Finger Demon Sword, I conducted a comprehensive scan of this continent with the help of the power of the Qingyun Li family, and the results at that time showed that except for a few demon spirits, there were no demons in Xiangzhou. ”

Zhao Shenlu said: "The current demon spirit cannot evolve into a demon race. ”

"Even in the chaotic space adjacent to Xiangzhou, there are only some powerful demonic creatures, but there is still an insurmountable gap from the real demon race."

Zhao Shenlu shrugged: "If it was so easy to become a demon clan, the traitors who tried to defect to the demon clan back then would not be like ashes." ”

"Their hearts are like ashes, isn't it because you and Concubine Shang designed to pretend to be the demons, and after defrauding them of the huge wealth accumulated over generations, they let them rush to the front line of the demon battlefield as cannon fodder?"

“…… Your mind is indeed good. Zhao Shenlu pursed her lips, "So, why did you always suspect that the demon clan was not dead later?" ”

"Because I do have such an intuition, not from the Finger Sword, but from my own intuition." Wang Jiu said, "Except for the Demon Sword, I am still the most sensitive person in the world to perceive the Demon Clan, I was born to kill the Demon Clan, this is the nature and instinct engraved in the body of the sword. That's why I've never been able to truly understand the demons, because even if I can get to the roots, this understanding will be wiped out by my instincts in an instant. ”

After a pause, Wang Jiu said again: "But the next few explorations have been fruitless, the finger demon sword gave hints, but in the end it also stopped at hints, and even in this area of the Netherworld, I can't use it to perceive the traces of the demon race...... In that case, what is the value of its existence? ”

When Zhao Shenlu heard this, he suddenly realized: "I see, this is indeed the truth, if the magic sword can't give results all the time, then it's useless to ask for it." ”

With the sharpness of the Demon Sword, clues related to the Demon Race, even if it is only an invisible connection based on cause and effect, will be keenly perceived by it - in the Golden Cloud Peak, the ruins of the Flood Desolation, Wang Jiu found the two founders of the Holy Sect and judged that they died at the hands of the Demon Clan.

But now, on the Xiangzhou Continent, the Finger Demon Sword can no longer point out the location of any demons, and this proud sword has completely lost its due effect.

The possibilities are none other than the following.

The biggest possibility: the demons are indeed extinct, and what remains in Xiangzhou is just some shadows, just like skin that has been exposed to the sun. And Wang Jiu's reaction was only the residual pain on the skin.

The second possibility: 10,000 years have passed, the demon race has undergone fundamental changes, the way of existence is very different from the past, and the empathy network no longer exists. And the Demon Sword tailored to the demons of the year can no longer adapt to this change, so the guidance function is invalid.

The third possibility: it was the Great Demon God Emperor who won that year, and his old man worked tirelessly to create a perfect cage for the loser, which retains plausible fragments of Kyushu and the gradual recovery of human civilization, but all this is like livestock in a farm, when the time is right, the butcher's butcher's butcher's knife will fall on the head.

In addition, of course, there are fourth, fifth, or even more possibilities, as long as you let your imagination fly, no matter how bizarre the answer can be, but for Wang Jiu, no matter which possibility it is, it is essentially explaining one thing.

The Demon Finger Sword, which has repeatedly performed miraculous feats, no longer has any need to exist, at most it is lying in the memorial hall as a souvenir of the Great War of Immortals and Demons, in this case, it is better to let it exert its residual heat and make a final judgment in the magical sea area of the Netherworld.

In this world, are there any demons? I don't want plausible hints, I don't want ambiguous results, I just have a solid judgment.

Wang Jiu fully liberated the power of the Demon Sword, and at that moment, the Divine Sword that killed hundreds of millions of demons seemed to have incarnated into the Demon Clan itself, exuding a terrifying aura that was difficult for the Nine Immortal Venerables to approach in the past. At the same time, the sympathetic network and the magic magnet on the Finger Sword are also running at full capacity.

If this is placed on the battlefield of the Immortal and Demon War in the Kyushu era, then a huge black hole with the Finger Demon Sword as the core will immediately form, and the hundreds of millions of demons on the continent will feel an irresistible attraction.

At this level, not to mention the demon race, even if it is the residue of the demon spirit, there is absolutely no way to hide in front of the Outer Heaven Divine Sword.

But Wang Jiu still didn't get that answer.

"So ......?" Zhao Shenlu looked at the silent Wang Jiu, deeply curious about his final judgment, and at the same time a little excited in his heart.

The demons, maybe there is really still a fire left, and even after 10,000 years, the fire has grown vigorously and become a hidden danger that threatens human civilization in Xiangzhou?

The Great War of Immortals and Demons is an out-and-out catastrophe for every human being, and the survivors who have experienced the Great War all remain in deep fear, and this fear has even affected dozens of generations along the bloodline, until the end of the Dark Ages, when the Holy Sect led the people to unify the continent and restart the order, the remnants of fear finally dissipated, and mankind was able to face a bright tomorrow.

So as a witness of the war, Zhao Shenlu's fear is definitely no less than that of any other person, but at the same time, she also has deep expectations.

No one loved that battle more than she did, because it was the only place where she could get close to the Excalibur.

Although the Outer Heaven Divine Sword was incarnated by a human body, in fact, when he was still a human body, Zhao Shenlu already knew that it was impossible for him to fall in love with anyone.

Because he doesn't naturally have this ability, it's not a flaw, it's that it wasn't designed with this in mind from the beginning.

If it is not a defect, it cannot be remedied, just like a person with a broken arm can be fitted with a prosthesis, but a person with all four limbs can hardly master the use of the third hand. Whether it was Zhao Shenlu, Concubine Shang, or many people who were also around Wang Jiu at that time, they all tried to spend a lot of effort to make Wang Jiu look at them differently.

But no one succeeds, and Wang Jiu does look at some people differently - when they show extraordinary talent, other than that, the kind of bond and connection based on people is completely unfamiliar territory for Wang Jiu.

Zhao Shenlu has long been aware of this, because it is absolutely impossible for any person with sound emotional functions to be indifferent to the hints of the first beauty in Kyushu.

If there is no outbreak of the Immortal Demon War, Wang Jiu's life trajectory - even if he is not reincarnated as a sword, it must be a parallel line that is difficult to intersect with Zhao Shenlu, the things he pays attention to are different from ordinary people, and even those who cultivate immortals and become crazy people, his life is the life of a true and pure immortal cultivator.

Pure immortal cultivators don't actually need a partner, especially a powerful immortal cultivator like Wang Jiu, and they don't need to rely on others to make up for their own shortcomings.

Some people say that the reason why human beings form social communities is because individuals have too many defects, so they must depend on each other. Truly flawless creatures that don't waste time socializing.

Although Zhao Shenlu has a flawless appearance, he is not a flawless individual, while Wang Jiu is undoubtedly a flawless immortal cultivator.

When he was in the Tianchi Sword Sect, he didn't rely on anyone's guidance, so he broke the wind barrier without a teacher and comprehended the superior sword dao, and those incredible knowledge seemed to be engraved in his mind before he was born, and it was a gift given to him by thousands of sharp swords in the sword pool.

Later, someone reviewed his life and found that even if the Tianchi Sword Sect at that time did not quickly take him under his disciple, Wang Jiu could also find his own immortal path in this vast world with his own strength.

He was like the first immortal cultivator who sensed the spiritual wind of heaven and earth and used it as a help to break the wind barrier, and he had the magical power to explore the world with his own strength.

And Wang Jiu was stronger and better than that human ancestor. The ancestor who opened the door of immortal cultivation for human beings has not been able to break through the Cloud Surge Realm in his entire life.

But Wang Jiu is different, with his understanding, it is likely that by observing the world, he will find a straight way to break through the virtual realm, and all kinds of knowledge learned in the human world, although it is the accumulation of tens of thousands of years or hundreds of thousands of years of human civilization, but it is really difficult to say whether it is a help or a drag for Wang Jiu.

The accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years of human beings is indeed a huge treasure trove, but it also undoubtedly contains many poisons. The process of human exploration of truth is a process of continuous self-denial and self-renewal, and this process accompanies the entire process of human civilization, which naturally means that human civilization has never been absolutely correct.

But Wang Jiu was able to get close to the truth from the beginning.

Of course, such a person will not be bound by foreign objects, and it is impossible for Zhao Shenlu to delay his cultivation because he is beautiful.

If it weren't for the outbreak of the Great War of Immortals and Demons, which shifted Wang Jiu's life goal from cultivating immortals to punishing demons, perhaps the two would never have more intersections.

So Zhao Shenlu didn't dislike the Immortal Demon War—even if the Immortal Demon War took away most of her relatives, and even her own life.

So now, more than 10,000 years after the Great War of Immortals and Demons, everyone, including herself, thinks that it is impossible to restart the war...... So will Wang Jiu's judgment be different?

In Zhao Shenlu's anxious expectant gaze, Wang Jiu was silent for a long time and spoke.

"I used the Finger Demon Sword and sent a signal that the demons absolutely couldn't resist, but I didn't get a response. In the rules of the Demon Race, as long as the Demon is alive, it will definitely respond to this signal, and it doesn't even matter the will of the Demon Race, and at the same time, even the Demon Emperor himself is no exception. However, I didn't get any response. ”

Zhao Shenlu's voice was slightly hoarse: "So? ”

Wang Jiu said: "So, there are still three possibilities, the first is the extinction of the demon race, so no individual can give me a response. Second, the demons have evolved dramatically and no longer use the empathy networks of the past. In the third case, the Demon Emperor had the last laugh, and the empathy rules I used were just a joke for the Demon Emperor. ”

Zhao Shenlu was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be no different from before?" ”

Wang Jiu said: "There is indeed no difference. ”

After saying that, Wang Jiu canceled the phantom sword technique, leaving only the pure white sword body.

"It's just the most intense confirmation of information on the basis of what is available. Since I can't get an answer, I can only accept the answer as I have. ”

"The answer as it is......"

Wang Jiu said: "I will determine that the demon race has been completely extinct, and there is no longer a threat of the demon race in this world." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Shenlu was a little surprised, although this answer had always been in her mind, she didn't expect Wang Jiu to think like this.

On the issue of the demon race, the Outer Heaven Excalibur is also known for his caution and even allergies, and when everyone thinks it is safe, he will still remain vigilant, and it turns out that his caution is never wrong.

So this time, will his judgment be wrong?

"Of course it's possible." Wang Jiu said, "In fact, I have never been absolutely correct, every time I judge, I know that I may be wrong, although all of you think I am flawless, but this flawlessness is only for human beings, in front of the Demon Emperor, I am flawed, of course, the Demon Emperor is the same in my opinion." So we can all make mistakes, but we can't stop judging because of possible wrongs. ”

Zhao Shenlu pondered for a moment and nodded: "I understand, the relationship between you and the Demon Emperor is similar to me and Shang Yatou." So, you've now decided...... Are the demons gone? ”

Wang Jiu said: "Yes, the demon clan has been completely extinct. ”
