Is there something wrong with me? Have I been affected by an inner demon, which is making me hallucinate?

Demon Emperor Hezhi stared at the screen.

Everyone knew that during the Divinity Show and Profound Sage Speech, a practitioner’s true face would be shown. Regardless of whether it was a disguise or a transformation, it would not work at that time. Nothing could prevent the true face of the practitioner from being shown.

!!

Even monster cultivators could only choose between their monster form or their human form; they could not take anyone else’s appearance.

In short, no practitioner could interfere with the Divinity Show.

So, what was the deal with the Demon Emperor Hezhi that was on the screen?

“This is not a scene from when I showed my divinity. I was not carrying my daughter in my arms as I transcended my tribulation. In fact, I don’t even have a daughter. So, who is this?” Demon Emperor Hezhi kept looking at the screen of the Divinity Show.

After thinking about it for a moment, he thought of a possibility.

In the universe, no practitioner could interfere with the Divinity Show.

But what if it was an existence that surpassed practitioners?

Demon Emperor Hezhi fell into thought.

“However, that does not make any sense. If it’s a Wielder of the Heaven’s Will, why are they involving me in this? Why are they trying to make this Profound Sage that just transcended their tribulation look like me?” Demon Emperor Hezhi frowned.

After a while, the Demon Emperor muttered to himself, “It looks like I must change locations again.”

He kept on getting the feeling that there was someone who wanted him dead.

The fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group had dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

Northern River’s Loose Cultivator frowned. “It actually isn’t Shuhang? Did we guess wrong?”

“That’s Demon Emperor Hezhi!” shouted Fairy Dongfang Six. At the same time, she quickly copied and pasted the parts of the demonic sect’s textbook that showed pictures of Demon Emperor Hezhi.

Sage Monarch Seventh Cultivator of True Virtue: “Is this the same Demon Emperor Hezhi that was mentioned last time? If it’s him, then this Divinity Show should’ve taken place a long time ago, in an era that came even before that of the Scholarly Sage. What’s happening almost makes sense.”

Soft Feather said seriously, “No, that’s Senior Song!”

Even if his face was different, her intuition told her that the person on the screen was Song Shuhang.

The complete picture of the Divinity Show was shown. Then, the camera began to rotate slowly, from the front to the back of the Profound Sage to show his appearance to the practitioner of the universe

This moment that was shown across the entire universe could be said to be the most glorious moment of a cultivator’s life.

While seated on the massage throne, Song Shuhang reached out and touched his face.

He felt time overlapping on his body as the Divinity Show was taking place.

The past and the future were merged together.

And, for some reason, he was wearing a mask.

When showing one’s divinity, a Profound Sage’s true face would be shown. Disguises didn’t work during this time.

However, he somehow managed to make use of a disguise and have it work during the Divinity Show.

“Interesting, I wonder who I look like right now” Song Shuhang muttered to himself.

Sister White Dragon glanced at him.

She could feel that just now, the past and the future were overlapping on his body. The experiment that the white horse had talked about was showing its results.

With the interference of the experiment, Song Shuhang was able to make use of the mask even during the Divinity Show.

What exactly is this experiment about? Sister White Dragon became curious.

Song Shuhang’s fingers touched the mask, and the secret appraisal technique was activated due to his curiosity.

His fingertips felt slightly tingly, and the price of the appraisal was paid.

[Heavenly Silver Trigram’s Disguise Mask (Used): A one-time-use prop. Disguise personage: Demon Emperor Hezhi, a top-tier Immortal who managed to become an Immortal despite having only eight dragon patterns.]

So, I’ve disguised myself as Demon Emperor Hezhi.

Although I don’t know who this Demon Emperor Hezhi is, he seems pretty cool.

Song Shuhang suddenly had the urge to tear off his mask, face everyone, and say hello to Demon Emperor Hezhi.

However, he resisted this impulse.

Impulses were evil.

He was a cautious, careful, and patient person, so he managed to hold himself back from saying hello to Demon Emperor Hezhi.

Haste would ruin everything, so he had to control his emotions.

When the most suitable time came, he would take off the mask and surprise Demon Emperor Hezhi.

In the Limitless Demon Sect.

Young Master Hai’s main body raised his head and looked up at Demon Emperor Hezhi, falling into contemplation.

Although the face of the person on the screen was that of Demon Emperor Hezhi, he did not have the same temperament.

He had received Demon Emperor Hezhi’s inheritance and had some understanding of his character.

Therefore, he could tell that there was something wrong with the Demon Emperor Hezhi shown on the screen.

But if that’s not Demon Emperor Hezhi, then who is it?

Young Master Hai slowly closed his eyes and stretched out his hand, placing it on his chest.

His heart was beating wildly.

In the Profound Sage Space.

...

After Song Shuhang regained his composure, he moved his fingers away from the mask.

Sister White Dragon said, “Are you ready? After the Divinity Show, a Sage Seal will be condensed, and then the Profound Sage Speech will begin.”

Information on the Divinity Show, Sage Seal, and Profound Sage Speech would automatically appear in the minds of Song Shuhang and Sixteen.

This was how things worked since the beginning of time.

These pieces of information could also act as a guide.

If there was a newbie Profound Sage who had transcended the tribulation without knowing any of this information, the automated system would guide them on how to act.

“A speech?” Song Shuhang frowned.

This was bad. He had amnesia and didn’t know what to say.

He was afraid that he might end up not saying anything during his speech.

“Fairy, are you ready?” Song Shuhang looked at Sixteen.

Sixteen shook her head.

...

Sister White Scarf said to Sixteen, “I can provide some assistance for her speech. Even if my memory is blurred, my realm still remains. As long as I grasp an important point, I can infer a lot of things. It should be enough for this speech.”

“Sorry, but I am unable to do that. The Profound Sage Speech is a personal matter.” Sister White Sister spread her small arms.

Song Shuhang: “…”

Damn, then what am I supposed to do?

This is the Divinity Show, and the eyes of every practitioner in the universe are focused on me.

If I can’t say anything during the speech, wouldn’t I be embarrassing myself in front of everyone?

At that time, I will definitely become the laughingstock of the entire world.

What do I do now?

Hmm… Wait.

Embarrassing myself and becoming the laughingstock of the whole world?

My face is currently that of Demon Emperor Hezhi.

Even if I embarrass myself, it’s not me who will become the laughingstock!

Song Shuhang was elated.

He said confidently, “It’s a mere Profound Sage Speech. Even if I’ve lost my memory, it shouldn’t be too difficult for me!”
