What If I Can't Die?



"Oh, looks like I have to go."

Upon hearing that the Thousand Leaves Family had the information he needed, Song Shi did not want to wait for them to come knocking on his door. He opened the map and took a look before flying away.

Seeing Song Shi disappear into the horizon in the blink of an eye, the Little Overlord of Stone Town's expression changed and he sighed fearfully.

The other party was indeed stronger than him. Thankfully he actually went away just like that.

"However, the Thousand Leaves family is not simple. Let's see if you can afford to offend them."

As he muttered, he hurriedly turned around and left.

He had to pass this news to the higher ups. It might be of some value.

After all, Green Mountain and Thousand leaves were not on good terms.

In the air, Song Shi realized that the speed of his Divine Teleportation Footwork had slowed down a lot. It was even slower than before he broke through to the Soul Transformation realm.

This gave him time to observe the terrain. The Green Mountain Territory was filled with mountains and hills, and the land was a little barren. After entering the Thousand Leaves Territory, it was mainly forest, Both territory were next to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

"No wonder the surrounding territories are one of the best. The land they control is more fertile. There should be many powerhouses."

Song Shi felt the consumption of his Nomological power. Even if he had nine energy cores, more than half of them would be consumed by the time he reached the center of the Thousand Leaves territory.

Hopefully, what awaited him would be death.

"F*ck, why are you still thinking of courting death? I came here to settle the matter of the spatial passageway and resolve any future troubles."

After correcting his incorrect thoughts, Song Shi traveled unimpeded all the way to Thousand Leaves City.

This was a large city located in the center of a dense primitive forest. It was similar to a stone city built with stone. This place seemed to be formed by countless giant trees by ways of nature.

It was a little like a city growing out of the forest.

The guy whose neck he had broken appeared in Song Shi's mind. His eyes looked like rings of the tree trunks. His race most likely cultivated the Dao of Wood.

As he speculated, the forest city seemed to have come alive. A large number of vines shot out and turned into a spider web that blocked in front of him. At the same time, vines wrapped around him like poisonous snakes.

A circle of Sun God Fire was released. Under the situation where fire countered wood, the vines that approached trembled and turned into ashes.

However, the Array Formation had already been activated and a portion of the vines were burned. Following that, vines shot out continuously, and they became thicker and thicker.

The powerhouses in the city immediately noticed the commotion. Many trees swayed and flickered. Figures emerged from the leaves or tree trunks.

"Which Demon Venerable is here to visit? If you want to enter the city, you should enter through the main entrance. Why do you have to barge in like a thief?"

An extremely powerful and ancient demonic celestial being was lifted into the air by a vine flower.

He was wearing a dark green robe with golden patterns on the cuffs. There were rings in his eyes. His gaze was strange. His skin was shriveled and he was short, but his strength had already reached and surpassed the Soul Transformation realm.

Even though he was the patriarch of the Thousand Leaves family and the strongest person within one hundred thousand miles, he still faced Song Shi with a solemn expression.

He raised his hand. The surrounding grass and trees that were attacking him became like obedient dogs. When they saw their master, they immediately fell silent.

Song Shi looked at the demons that had appeared in the surrounding vegetation and felt that they had fused with the vegetation. It could be said that the timing and location were favorable here.

He floated in the air and said, "I want to get some information. If you have it, then it won't be troublesome."

His old eyes narrowed, and there was a strange glint in them. "Why would an existence like you need to come to my Thousand Leaves to investigate?"

"That's none of your business."

Song Shi's tone was arrogant. "Let me ask you something. About twenty thousand years ago, did a Devil Saint attack a lower plane in the nearby area?"

"No."

The Thousand Leaves cultivator directly denied it.

However, Song Shi's noticed sharply that when he said this, some demons had abnormal gazes.

If this old man wasn't acting falsely to cover up the truth, it was likely that he was patronizing him.

"If you don't know, I'll look it up myself."

Song Shi took a step forward. He had to resolve this matter. No one could stop him.

"Do you really think the Thousand Leaves Clan is so easy-going?"

The Thousand Leaves Leader's eyes were cold. They suddenly narrowed and a circle of special fluctuations erupted.

Song Shi felt the world spin as his surroundings changed. He instantly fell into an illusion.

Flames surged around him, and countless demonic shadows howled as if they had fallen into a boundless hell. He looked down and saw chains binding him.

On the other side, the old man's eyes enlarged countless times as they floated in the illusory space. His buzzing questioning voice echoed, "Who are you and where are you from? I can see that there's something strange about your power."

Song Shi's Sun God Fire was not cultivated in the Heavenly Demon Realm at all. From its appearance alone, it looked out of place. The Thousand Leaves Leader was suspicious when he saw it.

"His illusions are not bad. Even with my mental strength, I can actually still be affected. Looks like my foundation in the lower realm is really nothing here."

Song Shi chuckled. He did not look panicked at all. In fact, he looked… a little excited!

He had been invincible in the lower realm for a long time and had felt really lonely. Now, he finally found the feeling he had not felt for a long time.

"Lower realm!?"

The Thousand Leaves Leader seemed to be deep in thought. "Could it be that you ascended from the Boundless Continent in the lower realm? No wonder you asked about that. No wonder there's something wrong with your divine fire."

"Sure enough, you know something, but did not say it!"

Song Shi looked up. This guy had done the equivalent to admitting it himself.

Knowing about the Boundless Continent, the other party was definitely very clear about what had happened back then.

"That's right. I know what you're talking about. Unfortunately, the impact that even had on us was too great. How can I say it so casually?"

The Thousand Leaves Leader sneered. "So you're an ascendant. You're used to tyrannizing the lower realm. No wonder you're so arrogant. You're a frog at the bottom of a well, right? You haven't even converted your demonic veins yet and you dare to come to my Thousand Leaves Clan to find trouble."

"Changing my meridians to demonic meridians…"

Song Shi was not in a hurry to resist the other party's illusion. In this situation where the clan leader thought he was in control, even if he did not force him, the other party would still say what he was seeking proudly.

"He doesn't even know about this. He most likely was smuggled over. That's right. The Boundless Continent isn't a lower plane directly under the Heavenly Demon World. It's actually a no-man's land that borders the Black Spirit Realm. It's normal that he doesn't know."

The The Thousand Leaves Leader looked down at Song Shi. "You have two choices now. Die or submit to the Thousand Leaves Family. I can give you the bloodline of the Thousand Leaves Family so that you can cultivate normally in this world."

Of course, Song Shi chose to die. As for the demonic heritage, he hadn't even decided if he was interested or not, even if he did, he would not submit to the Thousand Leaves family.

He continued, "You should tell me about the Demon Saint first before I decide."

"Hmph, so what if I tell you? That Demon Saint is a branch of the Primordial Fire Emperor Clan. He's called the Thousand Flames Demon Saint and is an ancestor of the Thousand Leaves Clan."

The The Thousand Leaves Leader said coldly, "Back then, the Prime Fire Emperor from my realm fought in the Black Spirit Realm and sent him to attack the Mystic Spirits from the Boundless Continent. However, I didn't expect a lower plane to be so troublesome. He actually was captured there."

"Thousand Leaves City was wiped out by the emperor in a fit of anger. Our family was originally going to be exterminated, and our branch of the Thousand Leaves Clan was also among them. Later on, because of the changes in the war, the tragedy did not happen. However, since this is also a humiliation to us, our clan naturally doesn't want to mention it."

Song Shi came to a realization and said, "I see, then why didn't you continue to attack the Boundless Continent?"

"The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. It's useless even if we attack. Even if we want to attack, the passageway there has already been turned into a Purgatory Forbidden Zone by the Great Emperor. Who will want to attack a Lower Plane after that?"
