Under the Buddhist Sect's leadership, the believers of the Western Spirit Domain, whether cultivators or mortals, had completely turned against those Evil Souls.

After all, in their eyes, the Buddhist Sect was heaven itself.

They believed in the Buddha.

Furthermore, neither the cultivators nor the mortals realized that as these emotions continued to brew, the entire Western Spirit Domain had gradually become shrouded in an increasingly bizarre atmosphere.

"The Buddha is about to descend."

"Eliminate evil and eradicate demons."

One fanatical group after another was formed throughout the Western Spirit Domain.

The mortals, in particular, picked up hoes, whatever weapons they could find, and used every frenzied method imaginable to strike at the Evil Souls.

Black dog blood,

incense that had been offered before Buddha statues,

talismans...

Every conceivable method was constantly employed.

The Evil Souls, however, remained completely indifferent to these people as they continued searching for the Evil Demons.

After all, they knew full well what Li Tianwei's methods were.

If they dared attack these mortals,

they would undoubtedly suffer a fate worse than death.

The Northern Spirit Domain was a perfect example.

Therefore, these Evil Souls simply did not dare lay a hand on them and could only choose to leave.

As a result,

throughout every corner of the Western Spirit Domain, one could witness scenes like this.

A ghostly Yin Soul, radiating supreme Yin and supreme evil aura, would appear upon a street.

Immediately,

countless people would swarm toward it.

Every kind of filthy object,

every item they believed capable of dealing with ghosts,

was hurled relentlessly at the Evil Soul.

Most of the Evil Souls controlled by the Sun and Moon Banner had once been cultivators.

Although they had experienced being imprisoned within the Eighteen Hells by Li Tianwei,

in their own eyes,

they had merely been defeated by Li Tianwei.

They still considered themselves lofty cultivators.

Being treated that way by Li Tianwei was one thing.

But now,

being treated like this by mere mortals—

how could they possibly endure such humiliation?

Unfortunately,

because of Li Tianwei's restrictions,

they could only glare viciously at those ignorant fools before helplessly leaving.

Thus,

under the relentless bombardment of the mortals,

it appeared as though the Evil Souls had suffered some terrifying blow and fled in panic.

"It ran away! This stuff really works! My son's virgin urine, ox tears, and even willow branches work too!"

The mortals became even more excited and fanatical.

Invisible to everyone,

a strange emotion and collective consciousness continued spreading outward.

It even showed signs of engulfing the entire Western Spirit Domain.

Black dog blood could suppress evil.

Consecrated magical artifacts could protect one's home.

They could ward off wandering ghosts and vengeful spirits.

Others proclaimed that the Buddha was about to descend,

and that it was only with His assistance that those Evil Souls had nowhere left to hide.

The Buddhist Sect continuously expanded its influence through such methods.

From top to bottom,

the entire Western Spirit Domain had completely fallen into a bizarre state.

This strange atmosphere of opposition continuously targeted the Evil Souls.

As these emotions continued to ferment,

the Evil Souls were obstructed by mortals and intercepted by cultivators,

greatly weakening their ability to combat the Evil Demons.

Everything unfolded exactly as the Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord had planned.

It even grew increasingly eager.

Once the entire Western Spirit Domain had been completely deceived,

that would be the moment everything came to an end.

Even the Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord had not expected things to proceed so smoothly.

The primary reason was simply that the Evil Souls were far too sinister.

Compared with the Evil Demons hiding among the cultivators,

"Your power will become my opportunity to replace the Dao within the Western Spirit Domain."

"Too evil."

"Unlike me."

After thinking this,

the Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord slowly sat down cross-legged.

Its grotesque, bloodshot, twisted form gradually became enveloped in a hazy veil.

At the same time,

faint Buddhist Light radiated outward,

while lotus flowers floated and revolved around it.

Brilliant streams of light filled the surroundings.

Celestial splendor descended from the heavens.

Countless ribbons connected together,

forming a majestic and solemn figure.

Merely standing there in midair,

it seemed as though everything else in existence had lost its brilliance.

The Heavenly Dao itself cried out,

as though at that moment,

it had become the very faith upon which all living beings relied.

Without form,

without shadow,

yet capable of taking on whatever appearance one desired,

whatever image one prayed for.

The divine had no fixed form.

"Excellent... excellent..."

The Heavenly Pivot Demon Lord slowly chanted.

Its Buddhist voice echoed throughout the heavens,

while the ideological consciousness of the entire Western Spirit Domain seemed to tilt ever further.

At the same time,

the people of the Western Spirit Domain became increasingly fanatical,

completely regarding the Evil Souls controlled by the Sun and Moon Banner as the embodiment of ultimate evil.

The Sun and Moon Banner, faithfully following Li Tianwei's orders,

could feel the Evil Souls constantly being destroyed,

along with all sorts of methods employed by those bald monks,

and the nearly mindless obstruction from countless mortals.

It was becoming utterly frustrated.

"You damned mortals!"

"I'm trying to save you!"

"Those are the Evil Demons, you idiots!"

The Sun and Moon Banner continuously cursed,

watching both the mortals and cultivators being completely manipulated and used as mere tools.

Even so,

it dared not stop.

Instead,

it lowered its gaze toward Li Tianwei below.

At that moment,

Li Tianwei still maintained the exact same posture,

standing there with his head raised toward the sky.

The Sun and Moon Banner had no idea why Li Tianwei had remained in that position for so long.

He had maintained it for an extremely long time.

The Sun and Moon Banner did not dare ask.

It could only continue carrying out Li Tianwei's orders.

Meanwhile,

within Li Tianwei's consciousness,

the System was utterly dumbfounded.

Had it not still been able to sense Li Tianwei's consciousness,

it would have believed Li Tianwei had fallen into some trap laid by the Evil Demons.

He had simply stood there,

staring at the sky,

without moving for such a long time.

【Host, Host, what's wrong with you?】

The System could no longer hold back its question.

After trying to contact him for a long time without receiving any response,

the System had already begun to panic.

【Host! Host, are you alright? Wake up already! Did the Evil Demons use some kind of technique on you?】

【You're a Heavenly Spiritual Root! You're the destined protagonist! Nothing can happen to you!】

At this point,

the System no longer cared about anything else and hurriedly shouted.

"Shut up. Do you know you're very noisy?"

Since the System had stopped constantly nagging about pseudo-spiritual roots like before,

Li Tianwei had not bothered muting it anymore.

After all,

the System also had the freedom to speak.

He could not simply keep it muted forever.

Of course,

whether it chose to remain silent was another matter entirely.

【Host! You're awake!】

Upon hearing Li Tianwei respond,

the System finally let out a sigh of relief.

"I wasn't asleep."

"I've been awake this whole time."

Li Tianwei answered calmly.

【Then... what happened?】

Unable to suppress its curiosity,

the System asked another question.

"Nothing."

"I was simply analyzing what I saw."

Li Tianwei continued gazing toward the heavens,

toward the place where the Heavenly Eye had previously appeared.

"It's rare to encounter something that actually requires me to think seriously."

The reason Li Tianwei had remained motionless was simple.

It was because of the Heavenly Eye that had disappeared earlier.

To everyone else,

it had merely been a giant eye in the sky.

But to Li Tianwei,

it represented an entirely new kind of power.

A power that seemed capable of overturning everything.

Thus,

Li Tianwei had begun studying it.

And his method of learning...

was simply to keep staring at it.
