Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1387 635: The Truth Revealed (Part 2)

"Rongku represents rise and fall, life and death, the most magnificent journey on the path of life. Exploring the mysteries between rise and fall is equivalent to a love for life. This love not only needs to be expressed in words but must also be reflected in the actions of each of us!"

As he spoke, Cui Tiq tore open his shirt, revealing four large characters on his chest: "I love life!"

A group of strange monsters sat in a circle, quietly watching.

They knew that Rongku Mountain was different from before. On this mountain, it is no longer possible to see the scenery of all four seasons on the same day; now, there's only vast snow.

But hunting for food on the mountain now won't attract punishment from the Rong Ku God.

They knew that the Rong Ku God was also different from before. Although Cui Tiq used a disguise technique, his mannerisms and speech differed significantly from Rong Si Jiao.

But the current Rong Ku God was very amiable, even if what he said was not easy to understand.

A doe transformed into a human form, lowered her head, and slowly walked up to Cui Tiq, bowing reverently.

She didn't really understand the Rong Ku God's words, but she agreed with one viewpoint: love should be manifested in action.

"Rong Ku God, I need you to help me solve a confusion, a confusion sourced from life," the doe displayed her chest, "Please grant me those five characters. I want to have 'I love Rong Ku God' engraved on my chest!"

Cui Tiq seriously confirmed once: "Do you want it granted to you, or tattooed on you?"

With tears in her eyes, the doe said: "I'll listen to you!"

Cui Tiq's expression grew solemn as he slowly extended his hand.

He was just about to touch her.

A cold wind blew, sending snow scattering, and Li Banfeng emerged from the snow, scaring the doe and a group of strange monsters to the side.

"Rong Ku God, I have something to ask of you."

Cui Tiq looked at the crowd of strange monsters, paying special attention to the doe's chest. He carefully gauged the size: "I love Rong Ku God" would fit very well.

But now, with Li Banfeng here, Cui Tiq, feeling a bit helpless, had no choice but to send the group of strange monsters away: "Go down to the base of the mountain, reflect on the life force in the alternation of rise and fall, and talk to me about your insights by tomorrow morning."

The strange monsters descended the mountain one after another, and Cui Tiq, with a grim face, said: "What exactly is it that makes you come to me at this time?"

Li Banfeng asked seriously: "Rong Ku God, I need you to resolve my confusion, confusion stemming from the Demon Army!"

"Demon Army?" Cui Tiq shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

Upon seeing Cui Tiq's expression, Li Banfeng's hope diminished, as it seemed Cui Tiq didn't know much about the Dark Energy User when he was in the Inner Amikan Country.

Just as Li Banfeng was about to stand up and leave, Cui Tiq suddenly asked: "Are you referring to the Devil Lord Servant?"

Could there be a connection despite the difference in names?

Li Banfeng thought for a moment; it could indeed be connected. The language in Amikan Country was not Ling Miaosheng's native language, nor was Puluo's language Cui Tiq's native language, so differences in translation were very normal.

Li Banfeng began his preliminary confirmation: "Are all Devil Lord Servants Amikan people?"

Cui Tiq thought carefully: "In Amikan Country, they are indeed all Amikan people."

"What about outside of Amikan Country?"

Cui Tiq remained silent for a while, then looked at Li Banfeng and said: "Can I choose not to answer that?"

"Is it difficult for you?"

"It could be considered difficult because, to some extent, I share common pursuits with the Devil Lord Servants,

In my homeland, I once wanted to join the ranks of the Devil Lord Servants, and I even swore an oath never to betray the organization and its members,

Though ultimately, due to differences in ideology, I didn't join the Devil Lord Servants, but a vow is a vow, and there are some things I can't reveal too much to you, at least not proactively."

Cui Tiq's meaning was clear: there were some things he couldn't say directly, but he could help Li Banfeng with judgment.

Li Banfeng first inquired: "What was the disagreement between you and the Devil Lord Servants?"

"Both the Devil Lord Servants and I were eager for slaughter, but for me, slaughter is to make life more valuable, it is the highest respect for life,

Whereas the Devil Lord Servants see slaughter as a means of trampling on life; their actions are filled with disdain and desecration of life, which I cannot tolerate,

There is another thing even more intolerable: among their motives for slaughter, there is an abundance of ignorant loyalty, sometimes it's heartfelt blind loyalty, other times it's their excuse to trample life, this disgrace and hypocrisy are truly nauseating."

Li Banfeng asked: "To whom do they pledge allegiance, is it the Inner State?"

Cui Tiq said: "That depends on the location. In Amikan Country, it's known as the Demon Realm, while in the Lavsha Nation, it's referred to as Chernoborg's territory,

By the way, the Lavsha Nation is where the Devil Lord Servants originated, though in Lavsha, the organization goes by a different name."

That statement clarified many things.

The Devil Lord Servants originated in the Lavsha Nation, but in Amikan Country, all their members are native Amikan people.

Following this reasoning, in Huan Country, the members would be native Huanguo People.

Cui Tiq continued: "I admire their members greatly; although they lack the Taoist Sect, they have mastered spells from many countries, many of which have long vanished from this world."

Mastering many spells.

Li Banfeng asked: "In Huan Country, there's an organization called the Hundred Demons Workshop, have you heard of it?"
