Before meeting Gu Qingfeng, the Demoness believed that if he appeared in the Primordial Black Hole, there was a ninety percent chance he would be utterly annihilated.
The reason was simple.
Throughout the ages, countless beings across heaven and earth had been eyeing the Original Sin upon him with covetous intent.
That was just the first reason.
The second was that no one wanted him to open the Age of Enlightenment and become the Original Sin True Lord who would dominate the future.
The reason for that was equally simple.
He was an Anomaly, and the greatest one at that. Who would entrust their fate to the greatest Anomaly?
The answer was obvious: no one, including herself.
Precisely because of his status as an Anomaly—setting aside for now whether he was the fated Original Sin True Lord—whether he was or wasn't, even if he had no connection to Original Sin whatsoever, countless beings across heaven and earth would not allow an Anomaly like him to live.
If such a great Anomaly were to remain alive, no one's heart would be at ease, and no one could sleep soundly.
Even if a Child of Original Sin were truly born, even if someone did ascend to become the Original Sin True Lord and opened the Daoless Age, as long as an Anomaly like Gu Qingfeng remained alive, everything could change—causality, destiny, and even the future itself.
Therefore,
Gu Qingfeng was undoubtedly doomed.
Many existences had been watching and waiting.
It wasn't that they didn't want to act, but the timing wasn't right.
As soon as an opportunity arose, they would surely make their move to eradicate him.
This time was a prime example.
In the Demoness's view, Gu Qingfeng being trapped in the Blood-Sucking Cauldron was an absolutely perfect opportunity, and those ancient Old Fellows secretly watching him probably thought the same. That was precisely why they had sent out their Divine Sense Avatars to besiege him.
Unfortunately,
they had failed in the end.
Not only had they failed to eradicate Gu Qingfeng, but they themselves had been utterly annihilated by Gu Qingfeng's three bows after he unleashed his Primordial Chaos.
That's how it appeared.
And indeed, that was the fact.
But the true purpose behind those Old Fellows' move this time was likely not so simple.
Perhaps those Old Fellows hadn't come to eradicate Gu Qingfeng from the start, but rather to probe.
They were probing both the depths of Gu Qingfeng's power,
and the stance of the Asura of Endless Hell and the Yellow Spring of Boundless Heights within him.
They were also probing the attitudes of other existences, even the stance of the Heavenly Dao and destiny, as well as the nature of the Original Sin upon Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng's existence was too mysterious, filled with countless unknowns.
The Demoness knew that both the Asura of Endless Hell and the Yellow Spring of Boundless Heights had entered the Daoless Age back then and had fused with the True Blood of Original Sin, and those Old Fellows from the Primordial Age knew this as well.
What the Demoness didn't know was why both the Asura of Endless Hell and the Yellow Spring of Boundless Heights had simultaneously appeared within Gu Qingfeng. Was it due to causality or destiny?
Or was there another reason?
She did not know.
And those Old Fellows from the Primordial Age didn't know either.
Precisely because they didn't know, they had to probe.
The Demoness knew that many existences were not only watching secretly, but some had even placed their bets on Gu Qingfeng.
The question was, who exactly was watching?
And who had placed bets on Gu Qingfeng?
These were questions the Demoness wanted to know, and those Old Fellows from the Primordial Age wanted to know as well.
Faced with the greatest Anomaly that was Gu Qingfeng, no one dared act rashly. Every existence was being extremely cautious, because taking a single wrong step meant eternal damnation.
The key point was that Gu Qingfeng's existence was the greatest Anomaly. No one could read him, no one knew which path he would take. All they could do was probe, bit by bit. This was a move born of helplessness, and the only thing they could do.
In the Demoness's view, this probing attempt was a failure.
Even though the Divine Sense Avatars those Old Fellows sent were completely wiped out, they were, after all, merely Divine Sense Avatars. For those Old Fellows of the Primordial Age, losing one Divine Sense Avatar was utterly insignificant, as trivial as an ordinary person losing a single strand of hair. If those Old Fellows wished, conjuring not just one, but ten, a hundred, or even a thousand Divine Sense Avatars would be a matter of a mere snap of the fingers.
The reason she called it a failed probe was because this attempt had probed neither the Asura of Endless Hell nor the Yellow Spring of Boundless Heights. As for whether it had revealed which existences were watching or which had placed bets on Gu Qingfeng, the Demoness did not know.
At the time, her attention was entirely focused on Gu Qingfeng; she had no mind to pay heed to anything else.
Regarding Gu Qingfeng,
she had never met him before; this was the first time.
She had only heard tales of him before. After witnessing him with her own eyes this time, the Demoness realized that Gu Qingfeng's existence was far more mysterious than she had imagined—so much so that calling it beyond imagination was not an exaggeration.
It was also this meeting that finally made her understand why countless beings throughout the ages, across heaven and earth, had chosen to watch and wait. She could also somewhat comprehend why some had placed their bets on Gu Qingfeng, convinced he was the Original Sin True Lord recorded in the Book of Destiny.
Leaving everything else aside,
his physical body alone was enough.
Although the Demoness was reluctant, she had to admit that all signs pointed to Gu Qingfeng's physical body possibly being the legendary Indestructible Body.
If it wasn't, then all was well.
But if it truly was the Indestructible Body,
then whether he could ascend to become the Original Sin True Lord this time, the Demoness might not know, but one thing was certain: if Gu Qingfeng's physical body was indeed the Indestructible Body, then throughout the ages, across heaven and earth, no one could eradicate him.
No one!
No one could.
The Great Dao could not, Heaven and Earth could not, not even the Gods could.
Form unbreakable, spirit undying, lifespan equal to the heavens, eternal and indestructible.
These words were not just empty boasts; they were fact.
The only thing to be thankful for now was that if Gu Qingfeng's physical body truly was the legendary Indestructible Body, it was an Indestructible Body that had not yet awakened.
As long as the Indestructible Body had not awakened, he could still be eradicated.
Once it awakened, even the descent of a God would be useless.
This was perhaps one of the reasons why many existences had been watching and waiting. They were all waiting, waiting to see if Gu Qingfeng's Indestructible Body would awaken, because whether it awakened or not would determine their stance and influence their choices.
If Gu Qingfeng's Indestructible Body did not awaken, they might take action.
If Gu Qingfeng's Indestructible Body awakened, then taking action would be utterly meaningless.
Gu Qingfeng had long since comprehended the Dao of Life and the Dao of Death, transcending life and death. Life and death held no distinction for him; life was death, death was life—neither dying nor perishing. Eradicating him was itself an extremely difficult task. Fortunately, though difficult, there was still a sliver of hope. But if his Indestructible Body awakened, even that last shred of hope would vanish into thin air.
The Indestructible Body—form unbreakable, spirit undying—what could you use to kill it?
It could not be killed.
Even if the God of Death descended, facing the Indestructible Body, he could only stare helplessly.
