Chapter 38 The Identity of the Heavenly Demon
"What? You know?"
"No, I'm just speculating. The novel doesn't mention any specific information about the Heavenly Demon. He is indeed very mysterious, but I always felt that some parts of the novel were suspicious."
Su Luo was surprised that the usually carefree Chu Wenqing actually had a clue, and she sat up straight instinctively in nervousness. "Tell me."
Any clues will do; the more clues there are, the better we can deduce the origins of the main villain, the Heavenly Demon. Anyone who has read the novel is probably very curious about the Heavenly Demon's true identity.
Chu Wenqing's playful demeanor vanished, his eyes sharpening for the first time. "I think that Heavenly Demon might have a grudge against the Heavenly One Sect."
"How to say?"
"In the novel, the first sect to be trampled by the demon army was Tianyi Sect. Among them, the fourth elder of Tianyi Sect died the most tragically. After his death, he was not only hung on the city wall, but later even his skin was peeled off by the Heavenly Demon! And... it was made into a human skin lantern!"
At this point, Chu Wenqing subconsciously hugged his arms and shivered.
"Think about it, if there wasn't a grudge, why would they attack Tianyi Sect first? Isn't the Demon Realm the closest to the Demon Clan? Also, if it wasn't to vent their anger, why would they treat a sect elder in such a vicious way?"
Su Luo also felt a chill run through her body.
Yes, what Chu Wenqing said makes a lot of sense. That Heavenly Demon might really have a grudge against the Tianyi Sect, especially since the Fourth Elder had offended him severely, which is why he died such a tragic death!
"Another question remains. Why did you become a puppet next to the Heavenly Demon after your death? You were clearly a disciple of the Heavenly One Sect, so you shouldn't have been able to contact him. Therefore, I can only suspect that the Heavenly Demon might have been hiding in the Heavenly One Sect at the time."
Upon hearing this, an idea flashed through Su Luo's mind, but she couldn't quite grasp it.
"Finally," Chu Wenqing said, "the Heavenly Demon's attitude towards Ning Wanshuang is somewhat different from his attitude towards others."
Su Luo disagreed, saying, "After all, she's the female lead in a popular novel. Isn't it normal for the villain to treat the female lead differently? In the finale, the Heavenly Demon only killed the male lead and not the female lead, which perfectly illustrates this point."
Although the novel has a tragic ending, the plot where the villain kills the male lead and the second male lead and imprisons the female lead is quite interesting. Perhaps the author simply likes villains and is a member of the evil faction, which is why they wrote it this way on purpose.
Unexpectedly, Chu Wenqing shook his head, denying Su Luo's words, "I initially thought so too, but later, I accidentally overheard a shocking secret and realized that things were not like that."
"what?"
Su Luo subconsciously tensed up, swallowed hard, and realized that her throat was parched, so she quickly poured herself a cup of tea.
"Only that one time did I hear it! I thought I was hallucinating because it was so unbelievable! It was during the war between immortals and demons, and the battlefield was in chaos. Ning Wanshuang had already been taken captive by the demons. Because of my superb lightness skills, I was assigned to rescue Ning Wanshuang, but when I concealed my presence and approached the demons, I heard Ning Wanshuang crying and begging the Heavenly Demon..."
Chu Wenqing's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "Do you know what Ning Wanshuang called the Heavenly Demon back then?"
Su Luo's unease grew stronger. "What are you shouting for..."
What else can the female lead call the Demon Lord besides "You bastard demon" or "You despicable Heavenly Demon"?
"She actually called the Heavenly Demon...brother!"
"Clap!"
The next moment, the teacup predictably fell from Su Luo's hand, rolled across the table, and spilled all the tea.
"Brother...brother?" Su Luo froze, trying to crack a joke but unable to manage a laugh. "Does that mean, 'brotherly lover'?"
"No, I think it was my older brother's idea. Because when the Heavenly Demon heard it, he didn't object!"
After Chu Wenqing finished speaking, he clutched his head in regret. "Unfortunately, I only vaguely heard Ning Wanshuang crying and calling out 'Brother' to the Heavenly Demon. Then I was discovered by the Heavenly Demon's Left Protector. That mad dog chased me relentlessly. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I would have died long ago. The female lead couldn't be saved, so I don't know if what I heard was true or false, and I don't dare to say anything carelessly. Later, I still died on the battlefield. When I opened my eyes again, it was in this timeline."
Su Luo's brain went blank for a while.
Are you sure you heard 'brother'?
“I definitely heard that word.” Chu Wenqing scratched his head. “Later I thought about it, and I always concentrate very well in life-or-death situations, so… I probably didn’t mishear it.”
Su Luo's face turned pale. "Wait, let me catch my breath."
The amount of information was too much and too overwhelming; her brain couldn't process it all at once.
Time passed slowly, and when the dishes on the table had all gone cold, Su Luo finally breathed a sigh of relief and came back to her senses.
"If you heard correctly, then the Heavenly Demon and the female lead are very likely siblings. No wonder..."
If this is the case, then it completely explains why the demon repeatedly spared the female lead's life and didn't kill her.
It's very likely that he grew up with the female lead in the Tianyi Sect, but for some reason he was bullied by the Fourth Elder and others, and his existence was concealed. Later, when he had the strength, he left the Tianyi Sect and returned to the Demon Clan to take revenge.
Su Luo even seriously suspected that the Heavenly Demon might have experienced an extremely painful and incomplete childhood, which led to his twisted personality and desire to destroy the world.
Perhaps only that demon in this world would be so insane, so devoid of empathy, and so destructive!
etc! wrong!
The fleeting thought suddenly flashed through her mind again, and Su Luo's body began to tremble slightly.
No, no! She also knows someone else who is insane, lacks empathy, and has a strong destructive urge! The craziest thing she did was lead the demon race to raze the Tianyi Sect to the ground.
The two are so alike, so why can't she connect them?! She should have realized this when Chu Wenqing said that the Heavenly Demon had her puppet by her side!
No wonder the fake Ning Wanshuang in her previous life always wore a veil! No wonder she looked down on all male cultivators! No wonder she allied with the demons! No wonder the male lead was so respectful to her! No wonder she became a puppet following the Heavenly Demon after her death!
The answer couldn't be more obvious.
She is him. That fake Ning Wanshuang is the mysterious Heavenly Demon, the ultimate villain of this novel!
Ironically, she remained completely unaware, blindly following the other person around, attending to their every need, and repeatedly brushing shoulders with death! She also missed the truth!
Seeing Su Luo's pale face, Chu Wenqing asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Su Luo slowly raised her head, her lips twitching into a smile that was more like a grimace. "You might not believe it, but before I died in my previous life, I really was... a lackey of the Heavenly Demon..."
"!"
Chu Wenqing stared in disbelief and couldn't help but ask, "You...you said you'd never seen a Heavenly Demon?!"
"I thought I'd never seen him before, but now I have a suspect." Su Luo covered her face and then recounted her experiences from her previous life, as well as her recent speculation.
Chu Wenqing's jaw dropped to the ground, and it took him a long time to recover. He stammered, "According to what you mean, in the previous life, the Heavenly Demon played the female lead for some purpose, and you didn't know that you even tried to get close to her for the mission! My goodness!"
Su Luo sighed, rubbing her forehead. "I don't want to think this way either. But based on your information, coupled with the abnormal behavior of that fake female lead in the first life, and combined with the novel, this is the only conclusion I can draw..."
Are you out of your mind?! How could this have happened?!
The Heavenly Demon is a fake Ning Wanshuang, hiding in the Tianyi Sect for reasons unknown. In the end, she perfectly escaped back to the Demon Clan, became the Demon Lord, and destroyed the world.
What kind of dramatic plot is this?!
Does the Heavenly Dao know? It probably doesn't. If it did, it would have destroyed the Heavenly Demon long ago when he was still weak! Even if it couldn't act personally, it would have let Su Luo and the others find an opportunity to eliminate the Heavenly Demon!
