Chapter 37

......

Time ticked by, Er Dongsheng sat in a small cave, quietly contemplating.

This was his cultivation cave. Ever since the little succubus arrived, he had dug a new small cave at the far end of the living cave, next to the storage room, for cultivation purposes!

He always liked to stay here, thinking quietly, whether he had something to do or not. In recent days, he had even spent entire days sitting here, pondering something!

This led the little succubus to move her small bed over, lying on it and deciding to accompany her brother in his contemplation!

As for what to think about, the little succubus pretended to think seriously, but she didn't really understand!

"Maybe he's thinking about how to make something delicious for Little Lulu!" the little one thought to herself.

......

Er Dongsheng was making a difficult decision, one that concerned his strength and his life and death in the future!

"The system has fully merged with the thread of the Abyssal Will, undergoing significant changes. The host needs to make a choice! Please select from the following options what the host deems feasible! Note, the host must choose carefully, once chosen, it cannot be changed, and the host must independently bear the consequences of the choice!"

A mechanical voice sounded in his ear. It turned out that the Abyssal System had finally completed the analysis and absorption of the thread of the Heavenly Dao, but it presented a major problem for Er Dongsheng!

"Option One: The Abyssal System ends the fusion with the Heavenly Dao, returning to its original state, maintaining the original abilities! Note, choosing this option will render the host's Daoist techniques unusable, even the basic Daoist techniques that have been unsealed will not be usable! Only the basic functions of the Abyssal System will be maintained! The game space cannot be activated! Choosing this option will return the dormitory life to the way it was before!"

"Option Two: Maintain the fusion state between the Heavenly Dao and the Abyssal System, abandoning the Daoist and martial techniques in the host's memory, and fully accepting the knowledge of the Abyssal Heavenly Dao, becoming a thorough demon! Note, choosing this option will grant the host a relatively complete set of Abyssal demon cultivation methods and Abyssal knowledge from the Heavenly Dao's will, allowing the host to cultivate to the level of a Great Demon, or even a Legendary Demon! The game space can only construct Abyssal scenes!"

"Option Three: Maintain the fusion state between the Heavenly Dao and the Abyssal System, and incorporate the Heavenly Dao knowledge in the host's soul, which includes the martial and Daoist techniques in the host's memory, as well as all the memories from the previous life! A triple fusion, like the beginning of chaos, breaking free from all Heavenly Dao constraints, giving birth to the host's own Heavenly Dao system with independent knowledge! The changes to the game space are unknown and unpredictable!"

"Note, if the host chooses Option Three, all cultivation traces on the body, such as external power enhancement, internal energy refinement, and the Fire Demon transformation resulting from the fusion of the Eight Trigrams of Daoism, will no longer be usable! All knowledge related to these aspects will be extracted and fused! The results of the fusion are unknown, and the new Heavenly Dao may become weaker or stronger, or even undergo unknown changes! The game space is unpredictable!"

The mechanical voice continued to remind him, echoing in Er Dongsheng's mind!

He was very conflicted, extremely so! Option One was definitely not an option, it would be a waste of a great opportunity! The real dilemma was between Option Two and Option Three, and he had no idea which to choose!

Relatively speaking, choosing the almost risk-free Option Two was the wiser choice. From the system's suggestions, it was clear that it was also more loyal to Option Two! Although he couldn't use the powerful martial arts and mysterious Daoist techniques from his previous life, the complete demon cultivation lineage was more important! He could see that Er Dongsheng was also worried about cultivation issues; having that knowledge wouldn't help him advance smoothly to the demon level. He had no idea how to cultivate and advance in the future!

He was at a loss! This was his current situation. He had no idea how to advance to the Second-Class Demon! Even if he had become a First-Class Demon by luck this time, it was just luck. Without a good lineage and cultivation method, he didn't believe that good fortune would always follow him! What if he got stuck at this stage and couldn't advance?

Didn't he see that most of the demons in the Abyss were still low-level demons! To advance, without a complete demon lineage, it was too difficult!

"Then, should I choose Option Two?" Er Dongsheng thought back and forth, looking at Option Two on the list, and then at the dangerous Option Three, but he felt reluctant!

Moreover, the most important thing was that if he chose the second option, he would be no different from an ordinary demon, bound to the Abyss for life, unable to transcend!

Which of the powerful Demon Lords submitted to the will of the Abyss? None, not a single one!

And how hard would it be for a martial artist from his previous life to give up decades of cultivation habits? Martial artists valued perseverance, practicing martial arts for thirty years, and Daoist cultivation for a lifetime! Even in this Abyssal world, becoming a despised Abyssal Demon, facing completely different Heavenly Dao rules, Er Dongsheng had not given up on cultivating martial arts!

He spent three years refining this demon body, diligently practicing external and internal techniques, enduring unimaginable pain every day! Little by little, he trained and grew, achieving his current accomplishments over three years. To give it up now, who would be willing?

Even if he could only apply basic body cultivation techniques superficially over the past three years, he still didn't give up! He persevered and achieved remarkable results! But to give up now?

Choosing Option Two would definitely mean giving up the martial arts and Daoist techniques from his previous life, while choosing Option Three might mean giving them up or continuing to use them, all depending on fate!

This was the choice now before him!

Left or right? One side was a guaranteed sunny world, the other might be an endless abyss, or a perfect paradise?

How should he choose?

"Damn it! I hate multiple-choice questions the most!" He scratched his head fiercely!

"Option Three, execute immediately!"

Martial artists abhorred indecision; once a choice was made, they acted immediately! No hesitation, no regret!

If it's paradise, I'll consider it a gain; if it's hell, I'll bear it alone!

One must look forward, regardless of the consequences ahead. Only by moving forward can we appreciate its beauty!
