"Exactly the opposite of what you said!"
In response to Luo Chong's questioning, Devil Dad sneered and replied, "The demons in hell are created by the evil in human hearts, not the other way around. The more evil souls demons absorb from the human world, the stronger they become. This is the fundamental reason I need evil souls!"
"Black and white, right and wrong, good and evil, all coexist in the souls of living beings in the world... If there were no evil, no one would understand what good is. Can you imagine a world without evil, where living beings would become like rotten wood, devoid of desire, ambition, or longing, gradually losing their drive? Such a society would quickly lose its ability to create and change the world."
"The creation and development of a world require the constant conflict and confrontation between good and evil to progress. Of course, you're still a fool, so talking to you about this is meaningless. You don't understand that the origins of evil and goodness are both the most sacred forces in the universe, and they are equally important."
Hearing these words, Luo Chong frowned, unable to think of any rebuttal, and vaguely seemed to understand some of it.
Indeed, the development of a world is driven by the constant creation and progress of good in its struggle against evil;
Because of the horrors of war, people understand the value of peace; because of the horrors of famine, people understand the value of abundance;
Because of the serious consequences of mistakes, people learn what is right and how to live better.
Why does the foul stench exist? Because of the foul stench, people can know in advance that something is inedible and must be thrown away. Although everyone avoids the foul stench, it is indeed indispensable.
Good and evil, right and wrong, love and hate, happiness and pain, and all other seemingly opposing forces, together form a rich and colorful world.
"But can this be a reason for me to kill people at will?"
Luo Chong murmured to himself.
"Do you need a reason?" Devil Dad smiled faintly. "Fine, I can give you three reasons."
"First, if you refuse to cooperate with me, I will kill your mother and let her soul suffer in hell."
"Second, I will send you to the deepest, darkest part of hell, where you will be trapped in endless darkness and loneliness."
At this point, his smile became more sinister. "If these two reasons are not enough, there is a third: I will..."
"Enough! Shut up!"
Luo Chong loudly interrupted him. He didn't need to hear the rest. Just the first two reasons were enough for him. For his mother and for himself, he had to...
Bubbles floated up and landed on Luo Chong's shoulder, whispering in his ear, "My little master, you can become the most powerful man on this planet. Infinite wealth, supreme power, countless beauties, and all kinds of material and spiritual pleasures are waiting for you."
Luo Chong took a deep breath and said softly, "Bubbles, is this the temptation of a demon?"
"Of course it is."
Bubbles smiled and replied, "I will tempt you with the most beautiful things in the world. After all, I am a very evil little demon."
"Alright, I know what to do."
Luo Chong sat back in his computer chair and waved at Devil Dad, saying, "Since I've made my decision, I won't be conflicted or hesitant anymore. Killing and taking souls, it's not a big deal... So, you can get lost. I don't want to see you anymore."
"That's my son."
Devil Dad nodded in satisfaction. "In the beginning, I can set the bar a bit lower. In the first three months, I only need ten human souls from you to consider you qualified. But in the future, the requirements will gradually increase."
"Remember, starting from today, you must provide me with ten human souls within three months. If you fail, you'll face my punishment."
"Get out!"
Luo Chong grabbed a water cup from the table and threw it at him. Damn it, spending too much time with such an abnormal bastard would drive him insane.
Whoosh!
Devil Dad vanished, and the water cup floated in mid-air, not falling to the ground. Bubbles, understanding the situation, flew over, picked up the cup, and returned it to Luo Chong, whispering in his ear, "My little master, if you hate him, become stronger as soon as possible. With the Demon Eye, you have a chance to surpass the Demon Lord and become an even more powerful demon, perhaps the most powerful demon in hell. Then you can deal with him harshly."
Luo Chong, still angry, was suddenly amused and asked, "Bubbles, you dare to say such things about him. Won't you be punished?"
"The Demon Lord can't hear us."
Bubbles said proudly, "I am the spirit of the Demon Eye. If I don't want others to hear what I say, even the Demon Lord can't hear it."
"The Demon Eye is that powerful?"
Luo Chong was puzzled. "Such a powerful treasure, how could that old bastard give it to me?"
"Well... I don't know."
Bubbles tilted her head in thought and said, "To me, the Demon Lord is really, really good to you. Giving you his strongest magic weapon is something I never expected."
"He's good to me?"
Luo Chong almost jumped up, pointing at where Devil Dad had been, shouting, "Didn't you hear what he said just now? He's not even human. If you call him an animal, the animal would feel insulted!"
"Demon Lord is not human, okay?"
Bubbles giggled and reminded him, "Little master, don't judge us by human moral standards. We are demons, the most evil demons. Despicable, shameless, treacherous, and wicked—these words are considered praise to us because that's what we strive for."
"Alright, I can be evil too."
Luo Chong, harboring a dark fire, reached out to lift her skirt, saying, "Since that's the case, let me see what's under your skirt... After all, you said we shouldn't judge you by human moral standards."
"Ahh!"
Bubbles screamed and flew a few meters away, hiding in a corner of the ceiling, tightly holding her skirt, and pitifully pleaded, "Little master, please don't do that. Bubbles is still a child."
Luo Chong laughed, "I was just scaring you. I'm not that kind of person, although I really want to see..."
Bubbles waved her little pitchfork, showing her two small fangs, and threatened in a childish voice, "I'll stab you!"
"Alright, alright."
Luo Chong waved at her and said seriously, "Let's get to work. Let's activate the two functions of the left eye first."
Bubbles floated back, but when she landed on the computer desk, she wrapped her princess dress tightly with her demon wings and wrapped her long tail around the hem of her skirt.
She was on high alert!
"Don't worry, I said I won't, so I won't. I'm not a demon; I'm a human, and I value my word and actions." Luo Chong spoke gently and sincerely, trying to reassure her.
Bubbles shook her head firmly, not falling for it, "You are the Demon Lord's son, less trustworthy than any demon!"
"Alright, do as you please." Luo Chong waved his hand, unable to help but laugh.
After much persuasion, they finally got to work a few minutes later. Bubbles said, "The first step is to use a human's life energy to activate the True Sight."
The life energy she referred to was that of the bald man, the red-haired man, and the others, whose life energy Luo Chong had absorbed with the Demon Eye an hour ago.
"Alright."
Luo Chong nodded in agreement.
Although Bubbles was the spirit of the Demon Eye, the disposal of the life energy or souls stored in the Demon Eye still required Luo Chong's consent, as he was the true owner of the Demon Eye.
A few seconds later, Luo Chong felt a warm current flow into his left eye, making it hot and itchy. But he knew, without Bubbles' reminder, that he just needed to endure it.
Sure enough, the discomfort soon passed. Following Bubbles' guidance, Luo Chong used the True Sight of his left eye to see things he couldn't see before.
For example, when he looked at Bubbles again, he could see a layer of pure black energy surrounding her body, which looked quite strange.
"Bubbles, what is this?"
Luo Chong reached out to touch the semi-transparent black layer but felt nothing, as if it didn't exist.
"This is my life aura. In a way, it represents my inner self, my soul."
Bubbles explained proudly, "If you see pure black, it means I am a very, very evil little demon."
"Alright."
Luo Chong immediately went to the window, opened it, and looked down at the courtyard, where he saw the life auras of some aunts and grandmas chatting in the yard.
"One is light gray," Luo Chong said, looking at a talkative aunt with a loud voice.
Bubbles explained, "This means she is slightly evil, selfish, and a bit mean, but not a bad person."
"What about the milky white one?" Luo Chong asked.
"This means the old lady is a good person, with a kind heart. But from my perspective, I don't like such good people; they are hard to manipulate."
"That uncle is medium gray," Luo Chong pointed to another person.
"Right, that person is quite bad. Although he doesn't have much ability, he is cold and heartless, even to his family."
"Most people are a mix of milky white and light gray," Luo Chong guessed. "Does this mean they are the most normal ordinary people, with both good and bad aspects, such as selfishness, greed, and various desires?"
"Exactly."
Bubbles replied, "If you see a pale golden life aura, that person is a very good person, but such people are rare in the human world. If you see pure black like mine, that person is a top-notch villain, as evil as the demons in hell."
Luo Chong nodded silently. In the courtyard, he saw only ordinary people, common folk who didn't have much ability and couldn't be that bad...
"Let's look at my own."
Luo Chong ran to the mirror in the wardrobe. To his surprise, his life aura was pitch black, shiny and deep, like a black hole in the universe, much deeper than Bubbles'!
"Damn!"
Luo Chong was amazed, hardly believing his Demon Eye. "I've never done much bad, so why is it so black?"
Bubbles floated in the air, covering her mouth, and laughed maliciously, "Who made you the Demon Lord's son? With your noble and evil heritage, you are inherently evil and can't be a good person."
"Damn it!"
Luo Chong shouted to the sky, angry and innocent, "What kind of evil deeds did that old bastard do to make his son follow him down the dark path, unable to be a good person..."
After a round of curses, he was exhausted and sat on the bed, secretly relieved, "They say if you do too many bad things, your son will be born without an anus. Fortunately, I have it naturally, not because a doctor cut it out..."
Bubbles was still laughing, "Don't worry, little master. Such curses only work on ordinary people. As the Demon Lord's son, you can have as many anuses as you want."
Luo Chong, still angry, looked at her with a frown and said sarcastically, "Am I a beehive or a colander? Why would I need so many anuses? I'd be too full!"
Sigh!
He sighed deeply again...
