This can be called a fortuitous turn of events, embracing death to find life.

"I'm not dying with you!" the Fire Demon Dragon suddenly cursed, then released its hold on Song Yan, trying to quickly escape.

But as soon as the Fire Demon Dragon moved, it found it couldn't move.

Looking again, it was both shocked and furious, because Song Yan's nine locks were tightly binding it, preventing its escape!

The Fire Demon Dragon roared, "Do you really want to die? If you keep me locked, if there are other beings on this island, it will only benefit them completely! Release me!"

Song Yan laughed, "Do you think I'm joking?"

There was no way he would let go.

The strength of the Fire Demon Dragon in this Sea of Suffering Rotting Thought Layer might be at peak existence; compared to it, the Yin Yang Profound Dragon was nothing more than a child.

Demon Dragon Karmic Fire, Karma Fire Dragon Body, these powers were already extremely terrifying.

If he released the Fire Demon Dragon, it would just wait outside the island for him.

He would only escape if he gave up his Divine Soul and completely transformed into a Sea of Suffering being with only Divine Thought; otherwise... escape was impossible.

The Sea of Suffering was fundamentally not a place for flesh and blood or Divine Soul beings to battle.

Yet Song Yan could sense that if he truly abandoned his Divine Soul, it would be tantamount to suicide, turning himself completely into a monster of mere thoughts.

How could he possibly let go?

Moreover, at this moment, although the mystical breeze from the island's center was eroding his Celestial Demon power, it also made him feel that his Divine Soul was about to break free of its shackles.

He didn't know what lay ahead, but he had resolved to find out.

This life, he'd never had a choice, always pushed forward by Cause and Effect.

Now... he was going to make a choice.

"Let go!"

"Let go!!"

The Fire Demon Dragon struggled frantically.

Song Yan laughed heartily at it and said, "Why so serious? Smile, a smile makes you younger by ten years."

"Let me go!" the Fire Demon Dragon spewed a burst of Karmic Fire.

But Song Yan remained unmoved, continuing to laugh in the fire, "Smile a bit, cheer up."

The Fire Demon Dragon looked at this madman dumbfounded, unable for a moment to tell whether it was the monster or whether this man was the monster...

Song Yan looked up at the sky and said, "Honestly, I don't want this at all."

The Fire Demon Dragon said, "Then let go!"

Song Yan said, "At first, I wanted to be a Sword Cultivator. Sword Cultivator, you know? So dashing, so cool, with adorable junior sisters, cold and elegant senior sisters, and a master whose depth is unfathomable."

The Fire Demon Dragon roared, "Then let go already!"

Song Yan looked up; his expression was full of yearning, then he said, "I just wanted to fall in love with a junior or senior sister, you know? I'm just an ordinary person, so I want to enjoy the pleasures of being ordinary."

The Fire Demon Dragon was taken aback by these words and then twisted its body frantically, shouting, "You madman! Madman! Let go quickly!"

Song Yan locked the Fire Demon Dragon with all his might.

During this process, the mystical breeze caressed repeatedly, causing the demon scales on the Fire Demon Dragon's body to begin fading, and even the outline of his own black-clothed Demon Monk began to blur.

But no matter how blurred, he held on to the Fire Demon Dragon, refusing to let go.

"I swear, I... I swear by the Celestial Demon, I won't touch you. Let me go and I'll leave, far away, and we'll never meet again in this life!" the Fire Demon Dragon said hastily.

Song Yan said, "Why hurry? In life, there aren't many times when you can slow down. Instead of struggling, why not enjoy it? You see, I didn't get what I wanted either, my life isn't something I truly like."

The Fire Demon Dragon hissed, "Shut up!"

Song Yan asked, "Are you happy?"

The Fire Demon Dragon roared, "Shut up!"

Song Yan said, "It seems you're not happy either. If you could start over, what would you want to be? How about becoming a Sword Cultivator?"

The Fire Demon Dragon shouted furiously, "Shut up!!"

Song Yan said, "If I became a Sword Cultivator, I'd just want to go on adventures in the Secret Realm with junior sisters, tally the harvest, and be happy. As for great aspirations, let whoever loves to pursue them. I don't care about this cursed thing."

Suddenly, the Fire Demon Dragon began to spew Karmic Fire maniacally, its surrounding dragon scales also igniting vigorously.

Yet Song Yan paid no attention, continuing to chatter within the fire, telling this terrifying existence in the Sea of Suffering Rotting Thought Layer of his dream life cultivating Profound.

He was indeed very tired and lonely; he truly wanted to be a Sword Cultivator in flowing white robes, surrounded by pure companions with vigor and vitality, with responsibility and diligence. He no longer wished to deal with all the scheming and deceit, the Ghostly Realm machinations.

Sadly, at this time, he was an exceptionally terrifying, exceptionally cunning existence in this Heavenly Demon Sea of Suffering.

The Fire Demon Dragon struggled, Song Yan locked it firmly, and the mystical breeze on the island kept blowing.

Unknowingly, a long time passed, and both Song Yan and the Fire Demon Dragon became fainter and more blurred...

Another breeze blew through.

The two of them scattered like grains of sand and dust.

The deep-red Demon Dragon dissipated into ashes, and Song Yan's forms of "Abbot Bodhi" and "Nine-Child Demon Mother" disappeared without a trace as well.

But on that lush, verdant meadow, there was still a silhouette.

That was a pure Divine Soul outline,

Sitting cross-legged with a sword laid across its knees.

Transparent strands of hair drifted with the wind, the face clean, the demeanor carefree.

The eyes suddenly opened.

The Little Celestial Dao Characters "Ritual" on the panel had completely vanished, replaced by "Little Heavenly Dao Text - Freedom" (60/100).
