Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

Chapter 149: Cang Lao’s Plan

“Who would have thought the Demon Emperor would resort to using the power of the Heavenly Domain!”

Du Guxiong took a deep breath, his gaze flickering, and said in a low voice: “But it’s understandable. Currently, there’s no way to completely resolve the sealing issue. If the Primordial Holy Son is allowed to grow, he will become a major threat in the future!”

“If it were me, I would do the same!”

The current Demon Emperor felt threatened as Jiang Chen’s monstrous abilities also posed a threat.

This was something no one else possessed.

Although the seal had not been completely broken before, the Demon Emperor did not have many concerns. In the Demon Emperor’s view, there was no one in the Nine Heavens Realm who could threaten him, no one could become an Emperor.

Even if someone did become an Emperor, he would still have the strength to fight and kill them, but Jiang Chen was different. At the Great Master Realm, he could easily kill Mo Yuan. This level of combat power was extremely terrifying, coupled with his Innate Supreme Yang Body.

If he truly achieved the Dao, he would become an existence like the Eternal Emperor. That was not something the Demon Emperor could contend with.

Therefore, to eliminate this threat in its cradle, the Demon Emperor ordered his Heavenly Domain to act.

This was a mysterious force, different from the immortal forces of the outside world. It was an assassin organization, like the Void Palace, known to very few. No one knew where the so-called Heavenly Domain was located, nor did anyone know where it originated from.

Its identity was extremely concealed, but its methods were extremely astonishing. Many prodigies and strong individuals had been killed by them.

However, ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Domain completely disappeared, no longer in the Nine Heavens Realm.

The reason for this was that the Ancient Desolate Demon Domain had deliberately hidden them, waiting for the right time to act.

“Can the Heavenly Domain really kill Jiang Chen?” Du Guxiong had some doubts.

Not to mention that Jiang Chen was always accompanied by Mu Jianxue, and he also had the protection of an Emperor Weapon.

To kill Jiang Chen was an extremely difficult task and it was almost impossible to achieve. After pondering for a moment, Du Guxiong passed the news out, not saying much else. These matters were left to the Heavenly Domain to worry about.

“Master, I failed again!” Du Guyun walked despondently in the mountains.

This failure had completely crushed his spirit. Originally planning to make a grand achievement in the Supreme Palace and rapidly improve his strength, who knew he would be directly severely injured, not only failing to improve his strength but also dropping in realm.

Now he was only at the Soul Sea Realm, having fallen two great realms! He had to start over again, as if all his efforts were in vain.

Cang Lao was silent and didn’t know how to respond. When Du Guxiong appeared, he hid away, not wanting to be noticed by Du Guxiong and so he had always stayed hidden.

As for the Supreme Palace, he did not get involved, because he couldn’t enter, and Du Guyun had hidden the ring deliberately.

Cang Lao sighed softly and said: “Setbacks are inevitable. No one’s life is smooth sailing! The strong grow through setbacks, becoming braver with each battle!”

“Only the weak will collapse after encountering setbacks! Do you want to become strong, or do you want to become weak? The choice is yours!”

Du Guyun’s expression was gloomy as he said: “Isn’t the Primordial Holy Son’s life smooth sailing? Have you ever heard of him encountering any setbacks?”

With these words, Cang Lao was immediately speechless, inwardly cursing and naturally understood these principles.

But wasn’t Cang Lao trying to help him regain his confidence right now?

“It may seem that the Primordial Holy Son’s life is smooth, but how much do you really know about him? How do you know he hasn’t faced setbacks?”

“What you know is only the glorious side of the Primordial Holy Son, do you know his hidden side?” Cang Lao said coldly: “Even if his life is smooth now, can it always be this way in the future?”

“No one can achieve this, not the past Emperors, and not the Primordial Holy Son! If you keep dwelling on this point, you will never surpass him in your life!”

“If you want to surpass him, you must uplift yourself and constantly strengthen yourself! Why do you never understand? Why do you always compare yourself to the Primordial Holy Son?”

“You practice the Immortal Devouring Technique, your potential far surpasses that of the Primordial Holy Son. As long as you can endure, you will surpass him sooner or later!”

“And this is something the Primordial Holy Son does not have, nor do others! Just this alone, how does the Primordial Holy Son compare to you?”

“Perhaps you want to talk about his background, his talent, his combat power! But these are only temporary. As long as you avoid his sharp edge, ignore these, and constantly devour the origin, you will surpass him sooner or later!”

“Do you understand? If you don’t understand these, then you can give up now!” As he spoke, Cang Lao became somewhat angry.

He now truly felt like a nanny, constantly comforting Du Guyun and this guy never listened to advice. At first, he would listen, but later he would forget once he achieved something.

Then, when he faced setbacks, he would come to him for comfort. Of course, Cang Lao also understood what Du Guyun was thinking.

He was extremely unwilling, but he didn’t dare to face it, needing others’ reminders and comfort to regain confidence.

At first, Cang Lao was happy to do this, but after many times, he became annoyed. He now needed to think about how to leave Du Guyun.

Staying any longer would surely be hopeless. Instead of pinning his hopes on Du Guyun, it would be better to rely on himself. Moreover, his soul had almost recovered.

“I’m sorry, Master! Disciple understands these, but just thinking about how the remnants of the Primordial Holy Son’s power caused my long-term efforts to fail, I can’t accept it!”

“In fact, I understand all this!” Du Guyun also sensed the change in Cang Lao’s tone and immediately softened his own.

“If you understand, then good. In the future, you don’t need to compare yourself with the Primordial Holy Son. From now on, just quietly improve yourself!”

“In the short term, there may be no results, but in ten years, a hundred years, even a thousand years, it will be enough for you to surpass him!”

“It would be best if when the Emperor’s Road opens, you seize his position of achieving the Dao. That would be the best revenge!”

“Think about it. If you can achieve this, the Primordial Holy Son’s mental state will completely collapse. His past smooth sailing will become the last straw that breaks his heart!”

“The process is not important. No matter how bad the process is, as long as the ending is beautiful, it will be worth it! If the process is extremely beautiful but the ending is not, then it’s all in vain!” Cang Lao’s tone softened a bit as he spoke gently.

“I understand!” Du Guyun’s eyes lit up, his fighting spirit soaring, his inner resolve gradually rising.

But in a place unknown to him, Cang Lao had already started planning his departure.

‘I’ll send him to the Southern Border. I have left some things there! Although it won’t fully restore me, it will help me recover by more than half!’

After thinking for a while, Cang Lao instructed Du Guyun to go to the Southern Border, saying that there were numerous races and countless prodigies there, and they were always fighting, making it a suitable place for him to devour the origin without being easily discovered.

Du Guyun naturally did not suspect anything and immediately headed towards the Southern Border.
