As the rune glowed ominously above Gu Changgee, casting a dim light over the tension-filled space.
"What are you doing?" Gu Changgee spoke up lightly despite the panic seeping into his mind as he felt his body locked by the immobilizing rune.
It became clear to him that Bai Lung knew about him wanting to erase the devil origin.
However before he could do anything... Bai Lung instantly teleported in front of him and launched 4 attacks in rapid speed leaving behind after images.
Gu Changgee without a system is no less than common folk thus he died instantly.
Saint Alchemist: "..."
Grandmasters: "..."
People: "..."
[Ding! You have slained Gu Changgee, You have revived a huge sum of Exp]
[Ding! You have met the requirement for system upgrade for free]
[Ding! Your villain halo has been upgradged to level 4]
[You have managed to plundered the tree of eternal dispear and devilish origin from Gu Changgee ]
[DING! You have also managed to get good image in front of people...]
[Ding! You have obtained additional Exp]
[Ding! You have broken through Qi Saint realm ]
Current realm: 1st stage of Qi Saint realm
Next stage: 2million point.
Hearing all this inside his mind, Bai Lung closed his eyes and faced towards the sky.
Devil origin... It can't be erased at all.
The Devil origin has a long history and is connected to a Dao relic known as Senic Orb.
Senic Orb is like relic or treasure that can grant mastery over the corresponding Dao.
For instance Water Senic orb grants power to control the water aka making them the god of water and likewise fire senic orb grants mastery over fire dao.
Together all Dao lived in harmony including demonic Dao to make the balance on very foundation.
However there was one Dao that couldn't exist together... That was Devil Dao.
It wasn't in cluctch of Fate and world balance as such Davil Dao was forever forbidden from all realms by 'Fate-Emperor'
And the only Devil Senic Orb was destroyed into multiple peices shattered across the nine realms.
Once someone fully manages to absorb all the devil fragment... He can recreate the Devil Senic Orb.
Making him the new absolute Devil that can go aganist the fate, time-space and all other powerful ruling force.
Gu Changgee's thinking or perception of devil origin was lacking as he believed he could actually destroy the origin.
Such origins can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be passed from one source to another.

"The junior is extraordinary... Capable of killing the Devil," The Saint alchemist praised.
"However... From what I know... You are from Bai Family and you used to be cripple, don't you... And now suddenly you seem to show great talent in alchemy and cultivation..." The Saint alchemist said.
He had a small memory that he had forgotten, when Bai Lung was said to have shattered Dao heart and can never cultivate, Bai Lung's mother had seek help from this saint alchemist.
The Saint alchemist has check the Body and soul and had concluded Bai Lung will have no chance to cultivate and It's fortunate enough that Bai Lung was lucky to live.
"I wonder how did you became so powerful..." The Saint alchemist asked with a sodeye.
It was clear he was under suspicion, with the death of Gu Changgee who was supressing Wang... The suppression on his luck has lifted.
And with a pretty narrow margin, Bai Lung falls short thus, the one with higher luck value here is Wang and situation would be under his favour.
Generally that's how it should have been but...
"Young Master Bai was the one who managed to obtain the inheritance of Immortal during the tomb exploration..." A charming voice rang across the surrounding.
"Princess?" The Saint alchemist raised his eyes.
"If you have doubt, you can ask the Saintess of Heaven Fall sect... Young Master Bai and Heaven Fall sect went together to explore the tomb," Princess Qin Cheng further added while she looked at Xiao Ling'r.
"Y-Yes... Princess Qin Cheng is correct, Young Master Bai has managed to obtained the inheritance of immortal, and that's how he became powerful..." Saintess hurriedly spoke.
"Ooh!? So that's how it is... Hmmm!?" The Saint alchemist closed his eyes and went on a deep thought.
That's a likely scinearo.
Not to mention Wang's luck was once again suppressed with Qin Cheng making a scene.
"Hoho! What a wonderful fate... I see..." The Saint alchemist stroked his beard.
"Since you are already chosen by immortal... Making you my successor would be a correct course of action," The Saint said.
---
"Woah! What a luck... Blessed by immortal and chosen as successor of Saint alchemist,"
"Damn... Young Master Bai won the trail of Saint..."
"The junior has great talent and a vurtious heart, choosing him as a sucessor is a correct decision..."
"Meh! He is just a lucky brat nothing else... I am still offended no women made it to top 5, such a misogyny,"
"Someone kill this witch..."
---
Bai Lung who heard the words of Saint crystal clear wasn't much happy with the words.
It's not like he hated being the sucessor... It's just, he can't stay hidden.
"This one is pleased to be your sucessor, I would defiently work hard and aim to be Saint-level alchemist too," Bai Lung bowed lightly and muttered those words.
"Hoho! No need to be so polite... Anyway here is my token," Saying that Saint handed a jade token to Bai Lung.
"I am honored to receive such treasure," Bai Lung once again joined his hands and bowed.
After all, its only right thing to show respect to elder because what lies inside should remain inside.
---
Bai Lung glanced closely at the token.
The token was intricately carved with symbols of alchemy and the essence of the Saint Alchemist's power which felt heavy in his hands, not just because of its physical weight, but due to the expectations that now rested upon his shoulders.
The title of sucessor came with name and fame... However it also meant chance to attract more powerful enemies.
"Remember, my successor," the Saint Alchemist continued, his voice echoing with authority, "the path of alchemy is not just about power or prestige. It requires wisdom, compassion, and a deep understanding of the balance between the realms. You must always strive to maintain harmony, even in the face of temptation..."
It was like cannon-dialouge, a dialogue that someone is destined to say like villains constantly saying they would destroy the world.
Bai Lung nodded his head as if he was absorbing the gravity of the Saint's words. He was aware that the world of cultivation was fraught with dangers, and the allure of power could easily lead one astray.
Who is it Saint see?
Saint clearly don't know who he is talking about.
Bai Lung is not in danger, he is the danger.
---
Bai Lung's eyes narrowed as he listened to the Saint Alchemist's words. He knew that the old man's speech was aimed at instilling a sense of responsibility and morality, but Bai Lung had no intention of abiding by such ideals.
His mind was fixed on one goal: to become the absolute Devil and break free from the constraints of fate.
Not just fate but reach absolute transcendent.
As the Saint Alchemist droned on about harmony and balance, Bai Lung's thoughts drifted to the fragments of the Devil Senic Orb scattered across the nine realms.
He knew that possessing these fragments would grant him immense power, allowing him to reshape the very fabric of reality... Nah! Reality manipulation was too low of an feat.
However he also wonder if there is anyone who possess Senic orb in this realm?
He also wonder if he could win aganist such an being.
[Ding! You have became the sucessor of Saint-level alchemist... You have successfully closed the main event of Wang ]
[Ding! Wang have died for failing his system task ]
[Ding! You have played major role in his death, you have obtained 8000 luck value]
[Ding! You have obtained 3,00,000 points]
[Ding! You have obtained 4 million Exp]
[Your current realm is 3rd stage of Qi Saint realm,]
Bai Lung:"..."
Bai Lung's mind buzzed with the notifications flooding in as he processed the implications of Wang's death.
Losing his rival enhanced his own status and solidified his position, but what truly captivated him was the fact Wang died by failing his task.
Wang was a fat sheep giving so much points and Exp.
'Three hundred thousand points' Bai Lung muttered to himself, feeling a rush of vitality coursing through him.
His expression shifted, a rare smile breaking through the facade of contemplation.
'With this, I can push further along my path,'
As the Saint Alchemist concluded his lecture about responsibility, Bai Lung turned his focus inward, calculating his next move.
His thoughts danced between the fragments of the Devil Senic Orb and the newfound power that awaited him.

At the same time, somewhere...
"Guys! The God has descended..."
