He had long known that Yao Buqi had no integrity. If Yao Buqi was really a demonic beast with strong moral integrity, Zhou Shu really wouldn’t be able to cooperate with him much.
But he was surprised that Yao Buqi would say such things the moment they met.
“You want to join the human race?” Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi.
“Not join the human race but join you, King Zhou,” Yao Buqi said seriously. “I can help you mine. I have experience in this. I can definitely do it well!”
“Are you serious?” Zhou Shu was speechless.
“Of course I’m serious!” Yao Buqi said solemnly. “I can’t stay in the Demon Realm anymore. King Zhou, you don’t know this, but I’m going crazy now.
“I don’t dare leave the Two Region Mountain at all. As soon as I leave it, a voice fills my head. This voice will reduce me to a beast that only knows how to kill.
“I don’t want that to happen.”
“After thinking about it, I can’t stay in the Demon Realm anymore. I have to go to the human world. But the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm are all crazy now, and they will definitely invade the human world. Therefore, the human world isn’t safe either…”
“In that case, why do you want to join me? I’m going back to the human world too,” Zhou Shu said.
“After I’ve thought about it, the human world and the Demon Realm are no longer safe. Only you, King Zhou, are safe. I was wondering where to find you, but you came to me yourself. That’s great!” Yao Buqi said excitedly.
“King Zhou, look, I’ve done many things for you in the past. Just accept me. I don’t want any benefits. It’s fine as long as I have something to eat!”
Yao Buqi bowed and almost knelt down to Zhou Shu.
If Zhou Shu asked him to kneel, Yao Buqi would probably not hesitate at all.
Zhou Shu looked at Yao Buqi and was really speechless.
Yao Buqi had almost become the Holy Son of the Demon Realm back then. If not for the awakening of the heavenly slaves, he would probably be the true Holy Son of the Demon Realm now.
Zhou Shu wondered what other demonic beasts would think if they heard this.
But then again, although Yao Buqi was much stronger than the first time Zhou Shu had seen him, he had only just broken through to the Great Demon realm.
The Great Demon realm was equivalent to the Earth Immortal realm of the human race. The younger generation of the grotto-heavens was at this cultivation level. The outstanding young people like Zheng Yongtai and Tang Tang were all at the peak of the Earth Immortal realm.
In comparison, Yao Buqi’s cultivation was indeed a little ordinary on the battlefield.
Although he wouldn’t be treated as cannon fodder, the chances of him dying in battle were extremely high.
“Yao Buqi, let me ask you. How many demonic beasts in the Demon Realm can stay conscious like you?” Zhou Shu pondered.
“How would I know?” Yao Buqi said. “I don’t even dare to leave the Two Region Mountain now. As long as I dare to leave this place, I will immediately become like those demonic beasts and not even know who I am.
“I don’t think many can stay conscious. Anyway, when I peeked out from the Two Region Mountain, I didn’t see anyone who was still conscious.”
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. He sized up Yao Buqi and said, “Yao Buqi, even if I accept you, it’s useless. Whether it’s in the Demon Realm or the human world, as long as you leave the protection of the Two Region Mountain, you will go crazy. This is decided by the bloodline of demonic beasts. There’s nothing I can do.”
“Bloodline of demonic beasts? But why were we fine in the past?” Yao Buqi was puzzled.
Zhou Shu shrugged. Heaven didn’t wake up in the past.
“By the way, wasn’t Sun Chuang with you? Where is he?” Zhou Shu asked casually,
“He escaped in the chaos. I don’t know where he went. I was too busy taking care of myself,” Yao Buqi said dejectedly. If even King Zhou can’t do anything, who can I rely on?
Am I going to be trapped on the Two Region Mountain for the rest of my life?
On the Two Region Mountain, he didn’t have to worry about food and drink for the time being, but there wasn’t even a female demonic beast. How could he survive?
Yao Buqi frowned and sighed. “King Zhou, how did everything become like this?”
“How should I know?” Zhou Shu said. If he had to say something, the evil people brought on themselves was the hardest to bear.
If not for the fact that Grotto-Heaven realm experts stole from heaven and earth, the heavenly slaves wouldn’t have appeared. Without the heavenly slaves, the demonic beasts wouldn’t have gone crazy.
But then again, without the threat of Grotto-Heaven realm experts to Heaven, there might not even be demonic beasts in this world.
According to Shi Changsheng, demonic beasts were used by Heaven to destroy humans.
Actually, Zhou Shu didn’t believe this. If Heaven really wanted to destroy the human race, why didn’t Heaven attack them directly?
If Heaven really had a consciousness, any natural disaster could wipe out most humans.
Shi Changsheng seemed to be telling the truth then, but what he told Zhou Shu might not be true.
Without becoming Grotto-Heaven realm experts, people probably wouldn’t be able to come into contact with the truth. But if they became Grotto-Heaven realm experts, they would be in danger of becoming heavenly slaves. It had always been difficult for Zhou Shu to make a decision.
“Yao Buqi, I have an idea if you want to escape losing your consciousness,” Zhou Shu said.
