Although they knew that the invasion of the Demon Race into the main plane universe was always for the Heart of the Universe, and that once the Heart of the Universe was stolen, all life in the world would rapidly perish.
This was still the first time they had witnessed the demise of all life in the world, completely slaughtered by the Demon Race.
"Don't they want the Heart of the Universe? Why did they kill everyone in the world? These beasts!"
Wan Lei was filled with extreme regret.
When they first arrived, he had smugly thought that the demons were all gathered together, foolishly waiting for them to kill.
But he had failed to consider why those demons would foolishly gather together, waiting for them to kill.
Didn't they usually slaughter humans while refining the Heart of the Universe?
That was because they had already finished killing the humans and had gathered together, waiting to refine the Heart of the Universe.
"If only... we could have arrived a day earlier, we could have saved them." Da Feng Xiao Shuo
Fang Xiaoyu was dejected and guilty. Looking at the corpses scattered everywhere, she could imagine the terror these people had experienced before their deaths.
"Die!"
Wan Lei raised the hammer in his hand and smashed the head of the demon god with a single blow. Then, he loosened his grip and threw it downwards.
The demon god's corpse fell heavily onto the square in front of the Martial God Hall. The three characters "Martial God Hall" on the plaque in front of the main hall faced the demon god's corpse, shining brilliantly.
If the Martial God had a spirit in heaven, what would he think seeing his enemy dead before his hall?
Wan Lei pulled Fang Xiaoyu and descended, arriving at the front of the Martial God Hall. He looked at the corpses strewn everywhere, and the dead plants and trees with a heavy heart, like two silent, walking corpses.
As they strolled along, Fang Xiaoyu suddenly stopped.
She squatted down beside a small corpse.
It was the corpse of a young boy, his eyes wide open, unable to rest in peace. In his eyes was only intense anger and unwillingness, and he still clutched a large saber tightly in his hand.
"Before you died, you must have really wanted to kill the demons, and you were so young... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Fang Xiaoyu's tears fell continuously, dripping onto the young boy's body. It was a pity that she was not a fairy from myths, and her tears could not bring the dead back to life.
Wan Lei gently patted her back, wanting to comfort her, but he couldn't find any words.
Before they came here, they spent an hour gathering. This meant that by the time they received the order, everyone here had already died.
There were no Five Elements Hall garrisons here, and no one had promptly requested reinforcements from the Five Elements Hall. They only learned of the invasion here through the Immortal Venerable's will patrolling the myriad realms.
The Immortal Venerable was merely a will and could not constantly watch over every single one of the trillions of universes in the main plane.
If they had discovered it a day later, the demons here would have already taken the Heart of the Universe back.
Everyone knew that they were not to blame for the deaths of the people here, but they still could not alleviate their inner self-blame.
They were the strong, and they should protect the weak and resist the powerful enemies, but now they had failed to protect them.
Wan Lei remained silent.
He possessed great skill, his own path of order, and wherever there were people, wherever there was life, there was civilization.
Where there was civilization, there should be harmonious and stable order.
But what was before him? A world devoid of life, with corpses scattered everywhere.
He had the path of order, but without people, where could order come from?
Wan Lei had always believed that order was punishment, and thunder was the will of order, used to punish those who violated order.
But now, he realized that order was civilization, and thunder was protection.
The existence of order should not be about killing, nor about control.
It was protection, safeguarding those within the order from harm by outsiders.
Everyone followed order and did not harm others, and order protected them, preventing them from being harmed by others.
This was the true path of order.
This was...
The Supreme Dao Law!
A mysterious aura emanated from Wan Lei, forming a domain that enveloped the surroundings.
The moment Wan Lei's thoughts became clear, the Supreme Dao Law of Order instantly reached perfection. The Dao Law he had been comprehending for years suddenly dawned upon him. The bottleneck he had been trying to break through by going into seclusion for half a year was instantly shattered by the impact of the death in a world.
The Dao Law was complete, and the domain appeared.
Boundless Realm!
Fang Xiaoyu was also silent.
She looked at the young boy's corpse with grief in her heart.
She had never told anyone, not even Wan Lei, that her Supreme Dao Law was also one of the supreme core Dao Laws.
It was the same as the most supreme Dao Laws such as rules, beginnings and endings, creation, destruction, light, and order...
The Dao of Life!
The reason she had never told Wan Lei was that every time she comprehended the Dao of Life, she always wanted to personally create a life.
But creating life required Wan Lei's involvement.
Firstly, she did not want this fellow to have a reason to bully her, and secondly, she was not yet prepared to be a qualified mother.
In addition, they were usually busy with cultivation and battles, making them incredibly busy, and they had no time to take care of it, so it was put aside.
But now, the scene before her had also caused her great shock.
Life, what is life?
Not only humans are life; animals, plants, flowers, trees, planets, and universes are all life.
But here, the life of an entire world had been destroyed and died.
This was undoubtedly a huge impact and the deepest realization for her, who appeared cold on the outside but kind-hearted, and who was comprehending the Dao of Life.
Fang Xiaoyu stood up.
"Let's go walk around somewhere else."
"Okay."
Although Wan Lei wanted to pull Fang Xiaoyu away and prevent her from looking any further, Fang Xiaoyu was in a very bad state at the moment, and he did not want to disturb her forcefully.
What's more, he was unwilling to leave. He wanted to look more, to engrave the crimes of the demons firmly in his heart.
The two of them got up and walked towards the main hall. Inside the hall, there was a plaque with the words "Mountains and Rivers and All Living Beings" written on it.
But now, the mountains and rivers were broken, all living beings had perished, and even the Martial God who wrote these four words had fallen.
With heavy hearts, they walked out of the back door of the main hall and came to the area behind the mountain. On the ground, there were still corpses scattered everywhere.
Suddenly, a cry reached their ears.
The cry was very faint, but with their cultivation, they could hear it clearly.
"Is someone still alive?!"
Fang Xiaoyu's eyes lit up with excitement, and she immediately flew into the air, searching for the source of the sound.
Wan Lei was also greatly invigorated. He scanned the entire area with his divine sense and immediately locked onto the place where the cry was coming from.
"This way!"
Wan Lei shouted and led Fang Xiaoyu towards a courtyard in the back mountain.
This courtyard had already collapsed, and there were traces of it being bombarded by demons in the middle of the courtyard.
