Birth of the Demonic Sword Chapter 1954 1954. Cup

Chapter 1954 1954. Cup

The emptiness of the area inside the white walls startled the old cultivator, but his mind didn't manage to remain active long enough to ponder about the issue. Life abandoned him, and darkness soon replaced his consciousness.
Still, the walls suddenly shone with more intensity, and their light converged on the maimed corpse. The dense energy radiated by those structures rebuilt the expert and brought him back to life in a matter of seconds.
The old cultivator revealed an elated expression when he realized what had happened. His leaders had saved him, and he performed a deep bow toward the walls to express his gratitude.
The expert remained in that position until his curiosity had the better of him. His hunched back didn't allow him to straighten his figure too much, but he still raised his head before moving toward one of the walls.
Heaven and Earth had prepared for the eventuality of Divine Demon's suicide. That felt only normal for such a driven expert, but the procedure he had used to destroy his existence had been peculiar, and that had made the old cultivator worried.
A sigh of relief came out of the cultivator's mouth when he inspected the walls. The whiteness confirmed that everything had gone well. Heaven and Earth had managed to record the last stage reached by Divine Demon before the destruction of his existence. The rulers wouldn't be able to create a perfect copy of his law, but they could get pretty close.
Moreover, they would be able to perfect it in time and rebuild what the "Breath" had managed to generate on its own. Divine Demon seemed to represent Noah's opposite. The latter was the strongest product of the system's flaw, while the former appeared as its favored son.
"To think that such extreme personalities have ended up in the same team," The cultivator sighed while pressing his hand on the wall.
It felt almost hilarious that Noah and Divine Demon had been part of the same group of rebels. One of them had the potential to embody the perfection imagined by Heaven and Earth, but Noah's presence had brought him closer to become one of their greatest failures. Still, the rulers had acted before the situation became too troublesome. They had taken care of Divine Demon before he could transform his existence into a world.
The walls released an intense light that filled the entirety of the void inside the trap. That radiance inspected every corner and each brim of energy still floating in that empty space before cleaning everything up.
The rulers couldn't allow themselves to commit mistakes or overlook something in that delicate situation. Divine Demon's law was too powerful and unpredictable to leave something unchecked. The walls performed many inspections before accepting that the expert was utterly dead.
The cultivator heaved another sigh after the light retracted. Everything had worked perfectly, and a laugh even escaped his mind when he realized how he had started to doubt the rulers for an instant.
Divine Demon's unreasonable display of power had almost managed to create a crack in his faith, but the truth had eventually revealed itself. Heaven and Earth had been perfect with their preparations, and nothing could beat that.
A frown appeared on the old cultivator when a peculiar spot on the wall entered his vision. The light trembled there, and he didn't hesitate to check the nature of that event.
"Incredible!" The old cultivator exclaimed when he placed his hand on that spot of the wall. "He had almost threatened the stability of the trap!"
That small chunk wall was still trembling due to the effects of Divine Demon's attack. The expert had actually touched Heaven and Earth's level when he sacrificed his existence to perform his last devastating technique.
The old cultivator shook his head before pressing on the wall to stop the tremors. Everything went still afterward. The last trace of Divine Demon's life disappeared from the wall.
The situation remained silent and still for a while until Heaven and Earth decided that it was time to remove the trap and move the project to the next phase. The walls shattered before transforming into light that rebuilt space and brought the cultivator back in stormy regions.
The old cultivator dug out his own eyes and tore apart a piece of his mind before dispersing it among the whiteness. His memories and impression of Divine Demon fused with the world and added the last materials required to rebuild his law.
Part of the storms flowed toward the cultivator to fix his injuries. His eyes and head regrew in a few seconds, but a thinking expression appeared on his face when the chaotic laws were about to leave his figure.
"Maybe I should really fix that," The old cultivator whispered before making use of some of the chaotic laws around him.
The energy flowed inside his back and straightened it. Modifying a body was nothing difficult for an entity at his level. His hunched figure didn't even affect his movements, so that feature was mostly an aesthetic issue.
"It doesn't feel bad," The old cultivator smirked before focusing on the sky again.
White lumps of light gathered in a spot above him until a chrysalis formed. Heaven and Earth wanted to give birth to Divine Demon's copy right away to test its powers, and they didn't hesitate to use everything they had learnt for the procedure.
Light fell from the sky and flowed from different spots of the world to gather inside the chrysalis. An aura that resembled Divine Demon began to spread out of that structure, and the similarities with the expert intensified as more power gathered inside it.
The old cultivator wore a solemn expression during the process. Heaven and Earth had to succeed now, or Divine Demon's existence would forever be outside their reach. The issue wasn't with creating a simple copy. They had to recreate him in his entirety but in a version that belonged to their system.
The chrysalis gathered energy until cracks opened on its shining surface. The shards that fell from the structure floated among the sky before converging toward the human figure that appeared after that solid membrane crumbled.
The human figure absorbed everything, and the light radiated by its edges dimmed to reveal an exact copy of Divine Demon. The only difference was with its color. Its skin was clear and white, his hair was longer than before, and his eyes didn't carry their red shades anymore. They shone with the white light that always accompanied the rulers.
The figure's centers of power activated and revealed its gaseous stage power. The existence carried by its aura was almost identical to the original Divine Demon. There didn't seem to be any difference except for a vague sense of belonging to Heaven and Earth's system.
"Divine Demon!" The old cultivator announced once a tremor ran through the figure. "Bow toward your masters and announce the new role of your existence."
Divine Demon's copy glanced at the cultivator before turning toward the sky. He nodded, and his back began to arch as he prepared himself to perform a bow. However, another tremor ran through his body and forced him to straighten his figure.
"What's the issue?" The old cultivator asked.
The expert didn't feel any worry. It was normal for such a complicated product to face a few problems until it completely stabilized. He was there to help it realize how to use its power for Heaven and Earth's sake.
"This isn't me," The white figure whispered while raising his palm.
The storms immediately moved toward its palm and sent their chaotic laws to create what its existence truly desired. It didn't take much before a cup full of wine appeared in that spot.
