CHAPTER 3269: CHAPTER 3289: WHAT IS THE MEANING OF YOUR EXISTENCE?

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch showed not the slightest surprise, he didn’t even turn around, just looked up at the purple crystal pillar piercing the Sky Dome with a complex gaze.

"Although I wouldn’t call it a thought, I indeed have a question..."

Lord Charm Erosion appeared beside the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, speaking leisurely: "Ask."

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch turned his head and looked at the breathtakingly beautiful face of Lord Charm Erosion, softly asking: "The Abyss Demons, what is the purpose of your existence, to live, or should I say, to exist?"

Lord Charm Erosion was momentarily startled, clearly not expecting such a question at this time from a captive like Seven-colored Immortal Monarch.

In Lord Charm Erosion’s beautiful eyes, a purple radiance flickered, she did not respond, but countered: "And you, what is the purpose of your existence?"

"Our purpose in existence is to live well, to enjoy everything that the world bestows upon us."

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch smiled and said: "Perhaps it’s the material pleasures, better food, more comfortable living places, more comfortable clothes, more delicious Fine wine, or maybe it’s emotional ownership, perhaps familial love, perhaps romantic love, perhaps success after effort..."

"Everyone has their own reason to strive to live, perhaps for a better life, higher social status, greater fame, or perhaps for their family, for their parents, for their Child, no matter what, we all have our pursuits, and what we pursue is always the better side."

"Your Abyss Clan, turning originally beautiful, vibrant worlds into lifeless husks, devouring all Life Force, then abandoning this world, is your sole purpose simply destruction?"

"Destroying world after world, does it make you happy, does it give you a sense of accomplishment, is this what you yourselves want to do, or are you just mindlessly carrying out the will of the Abyss Lord, destroying everything?"

Lord Charm Erosion’s graceful brows slightly furrowed: "Our purpose in existence is to conquer, to conquer the entire universe, making the Abyss Clan the sole existence in the universe!"

"And then?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch Extended Hand pointing at the countless demons in the distance: "Like them, perennially embedding themselves into this transformed earth, motionless like that?"

"Those high-level demons among you look be as intellectually capable as we are, but are they truly living? Or, are they merely tools that can be produced and consumed at will?"

"You look at them, perhaps like that, how does the Abyss Lord view you?"

The smile disappeared from Lord Charm Erosion’s face, her eyes hardened and carried a hint more murderous intent.

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch stared into Lord Charm Erosion’s eyes, fearless: "If you want to kill me because I revealed some truths you don’t want to accept, then go ahead, I’m here now, and I wasn’t thinking about leaving alive anyway."

Lord Charm Erosion coldly said: "Killing you and devouring you, we will become even stronger, becoming the only existence in the universe."

"Then like them..."

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch pointed at those motionless demons: "Just like that, maintaining until the end of time, until the collapse of the universe? Since you no longer have any goals, what else can you do?"

Pausing momentarily, Seven-colored Immortal Monarch with a hint of provocation asked: "I wonder what Lord Charm Erosion usually does for amusement?"

Lord Charm Erosion frowned and said, "Amusement?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch nodded and replied, "Yes, Ordinary people have to go to work every day, earn money to support their families. Beyond work hours, they go out for fun, perhaps with friends or with family, traveling, shopping, tasting delicious foods, and experiencing joys they don’t usually get to experience."

"As for us Cultivators, aside from our daily cultivation, we also do many things we enjoy, such as having Tea and discussing the Dao with a few close friends, or traveling the world to comprehend the various states of life. In short, life is not only about cultivation and is not all plots and schemes, or even battles."

"I won’t mention those low-level demons who only know how to stick themselves in the mud like wooden stakes, but I am curious, as a Lord who is superior to billions, what kinds of entertainment activities do you engage in daily?"

Lord Charm Erosion fell silent, anger evident in her beautiful eyes that she could not hide.

She felt that the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was looking down on her.

Although he was her prisoner, the way he spoke now had a condescending tone that infuriated her to the point where she wanted to raise her hand and kill him on the spot. However, fearing that doing so might actually be playing right into his hands, she forcefully suppressed this thought.

"If you think provoking me will lead to your death at my hands, you might be overthinking it," she said.

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch chuckled, "I’m not deliberately trying to provoke you. I’m simply curious about your Abyss Clan. If you said your Clan invades various planes and occupies them, I’d find it understandable, even if you ate people and invaded us just to consume us. But your mere act of devouring everything is something I find incomprehensible."

"Lord Charm Erosion, since we’re idle anyway, could you tell me more about your Abyss Clan to help me understand you better?"

Lord Charm Erosion squinted her eyes and sneered, "At this point, are you still thinking of gathering information? Do you think even if you found out, that you could escape?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch spread his hands, "I just want to die knowing. If I die without knowing anything, wouldn’t that be too unfair?"

Lord Charm Erosion stared at Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, who met her gaze without flinching.

After a long pause, Lord Charm Erosion sneered, "It seems you’re not prepared to surrender."

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch replied, "Indeed I don’t wish to surrender, but I also don’t want to die. I’m really conflicted right now."

Lord Charm Erosion laughed heartily, "Well, keep oscillating then. Weren’t you asking me about what I do for fun, what entertainment activities I have? Look, isn’t this one of my entertainment activities right now?"

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was not angry, knowing all too well that as a prisoner, he must be self-aware.

What’s wrong with being mocked a few times?

The victor can do as they please!

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch replied, "Then your entertainment times are exceptionally brief. How many Ten Thousand Years have passed since your Abyss Clan first discovered the realms of the Immortal and Demons, since the first intersection of these two realms? All this time, have you just been eagerly waiting, waiting for the realms to intersect, waiting for the Planes to be torn, waiting for the day of invasion?"

Lord Charm Erosion replied, "Time is not an issue for us; your Human Clan cannot understand our existence with such brief lifespans..."

Seven-colored Immortal Monarch retorted sharply, "Lifeless mountain peaks and stones also have no concept of time..."
