Master of Strange Dao

And this is the strongest human warrior seen in the memory of the Yang Devil, also the only human warrior whose presence is very clear from beginning to end without the slightest concealment.

In the memory of the Yang Devil, many human warriors have faces that are indiscernible.

The latter memories of the Yang Devil are actually not much different from what Yu Ziqing speculated and knew.

Yu Ziqing withdrew his finger and, upon looking at the memorial tablet again, unsurprisingly, the rust on the rusty sword in his arms had begun to fall off, reaching at least the passing mark of sixty percent, allowing him to draw the sword.

But Yu Ziqing was still uncertain about how high the score could be.

The judged individual himself had memory loss, unable to remember the past, yet the past truly existed, which would affect the judgment score.

Yu Ziqing didn't rush to draw the sword, knowing that a verdict of sixty or even seventy percent most likely wouldn't be able to kill the Yang Devil.

Because sixty percent, judged as the Ninth Tier Peak, couldn't even kill those bastards who came out of the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, bent on direct possession as soon as they emerged.

"Do you recognize the last human warrior who killed you? What was his name?"

"There are some things I no longer remember, the losses are quite severe.

I know that during my final battle, the new era had begun, but what happened before that, I can't remember.

I only remember being betrayed by the Seven Yin at the end, and even how I fell to this state, I can't recall clearly.

I remember that bald person being called by some as the Mountain Lord.

At the beginning of the new era, he was one of the Eight Divisions.

In terms of pure combat power, he was the strongest human warrior, even the God of Slaying died at his hands, and at his peak, his killing intent and aura surpassed that of the God of Slaying.

Unfortunately, although he could obliterate minor deities, he still couldn't kill certain deities."

"Are these things in your memory?"

"They all are."

"..." Yu Ziqing was silent for a moment, realizing that he had indeed read a bit too quickly.

But that's understandable; the Yang Devil's memory is vast, and no matter how cooperative the Yang-destroying Devil was, he was still just a bystander.

For the purpose of judgment, he indeed only needed to scan through quickly.

But those memories are fixed entities, like long, set-in-stone shows.

To truly connect them, only the individual can instantly comprehend, maneuver, and assemble them.

This aligned with Yu Ziqing's own research: memory and thought are key elements, closely connected yet separate entities.

"What are the Eight Divisions?"

"They are the names of your Divine Dynasty: Qian, Zhen, Li, Dui, Kun, Xun, Kan, Gen.

Huh, how do I know this? I didn't know it before.

Some of my memory has recovered a bit; why has it recovered a little?"

The Yang-destroying Devil was somewhat surprised and a bit confused.

"I have read quite a lot; don't try to fool me, these should be called the Eight Diagrams.

Are you saying that there were originally eight human Divine Dynasties?"

"I don't know, don't ask me, go see for yourself. I feel my memory might be problematic, is this affecting my pursuit of the truth of death?"

"Indeed, it would have an influence, and the impact might be significant. It might ultimately be just that final step that is missing."

The Yang-destroying Devil stopped speaking and immediately began to organize his memory.

He trusted everything Yu Ziqing said now because he was certain that Yu Ziqing genuinely wanted to send him to his death.

And at the moment Yu Ziqing finished viewing his memory and opened his eyes to see him again, he sensed that he would definitely die at Yu Ziqing's hands, and that moment was very close.

He didn't want any factors to affect his pursuit of the truth.

The Yang-destroying Devil became silent, and Yu Ziqing raised his head, feeling a bit dazed.

Actually, when he first learned the names of the Divine Dynasty, he knew that if it wasn't related to the Eight Diagrams, he'd twist his head off and kick it like a ball.

However, all throughout history, even in the ancient records of Dadui, there were only ever the Four Divine Dynasties recorded.

When Yu Ziqing first learned about the existence of another continent on the other side of the deep sea, he actually speculated whether there might be another four over there.

But on this point, he was quite sure; there couldn't be four Divine Dynasties over there.

The White Sun Holy Mother of that time had come from the other side of the deep sea, and in her memory, there was no mention of the so-called four Divine Dynasties.

Considering that the White Sun Holy Mother's existence could be traced back to the age of deities, if there truly were, she couldn't have not known.

Yu Ziqing pondered for a moment, looking at the memorial tablet of the Yang-destroying Devil.

He needed to maintain the state of the Yang-destroying Devil, preventing his memory from fading with time.

So he had to give the Yang-destroying Devil a bit of support, even if it didn't result in a new True Form, it was necessary for long-term preservation.

Simply peering into memory felt like watching a very long series; when aiming to gather information, the shortcomings were quite significant.

He didn't have the luxury of time to examine everything in detail, and many details were bound to be overlooked.

For some issues, having the person themselves provide answers was more suitable and efficient.

"I think it would be better to temporarily assign you an identity first."

Before the Yang-destroying Devil could respond, Yu Ziqing continued.

"This would greatly help the ultimate goal."

"Alright." The Yang-destroying Devil immediately agreed.

Yu Ziqing glanced toward the east, then led the Yang-destroying Devil back to Dadui.

Out of the twenty-four positions, many were still vacant; he was initially considering just assigning him to the winter solstice or Major Cold.

But thinking about the scene during the Yang Devil's birth, Yu Ziqing suddenly realized which position would be most suitable.

If the One Element Qi is divided into two, differentiating Yin Yang, the boundary would be the Spring Equinox and the autumn equinox.

During the alternation of cold and heat, the boundary where the yang declines and the yin grows is at the autumn equinox.

This marks the beginning of the decline of yang qi, the increase of yin qi, and the approach of cold weather.

The Yang Devil didn't bring the cold qi; he merely absorbed the yang qi.

The autumn equinox is the most suitable.

Allowing the Yang-destroying Devil to temporarily hold one of the Twenty-four Solar Terms, even without forming a True Form, is just a temporary arrangement.

Because Yu Ziqing understood that the Yang-destroying Devil had a very determined heart and had achieved ultimate enlightenment.

He couldn't be fooled by Yu Ziqing into staying in this position, abandoning other pursuits.

Every time Yu Ziqing faced the Yang-destroying Devil, this guy would leave him speechless.

How did matters develop to this point, had the Mountain Lord's era experienced such things?

An undying deity seeking death to grasp truth within it, yet he had to painstakingly hold onto fragments of memory, fearing that they would dissipate, and his consciousness would vanish.
