Jiang Xiao's brow was tightly furrowed, he felt an unprecedented anxiety.

The words of the High Priest struck deep into his spirit like a heavy hammer, the title "Demon Child" seemed to be an unshakeable fate.

"High Priest, since you've mentioned the Demon Child, then please tell me, what does this identity mean for me?"

Jiang Xiao's doubts surged like a mighty river, unstoppable.

Yet the projection of the High Priest seemed reluctant to provide a direct answer, its figure flickering within the crystal ball-like glow, as if ready to vanish at any moment.

"Demon Child, your fate is far more complex than you can imagine, but now is not the time to unveil everything."

After a pause, the High Priest chuckled again.

"Actually, it's quite fine to keep things as they are, you don't need to delve deeply or oversimplify complicated issues."

A surge of dissatisfaction rose in Jiang Xiao's heart, he was about to question further.

But he realized the High Priest's projection had already dispersed into the air like smoke, leaving only a deep and immeasurable silence.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, attempting to calm the turmoil within.

Since the High Priest refused to divulge anything, he had no choice but to seek another path.

Jiang Xiao turned around, deciding to find Bai Liu and Niu Jieshi, these peculiar old friends.

They are peculiar too and hold significant status, perhaps they might know more about the Demon Child.

.....

Jiang Xiao walked through the corridors of the Shanghai-Hong Kong Base, each step felt as though he was treading on thick fog.

Upon reaching Bai Liu's residence, Jiang Xiao knocked on the door decisively.

The door slowly opened, revealing Bai Liu wrapped in a bathrobe at the entrance.

Since having reconciled with the Deep Diver, Bai Liu naturally rewarded himself with a hot bath all women love~

"You must have cleared another level this time, right? Why not hurry back to the warmth of your wife and children, why come to see me?"

Jiang Xiao nodded, directly addressing the main point.

"Bai Liu, do you know anything about the Demon Child? Or have you ever received a document about the X-Plan, discussing the Demon Child's emergence?"

Bai Liu fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke.

"Where did you hear about this? Even in our peculiar circle, few know about this document."

"Never mind that, I just ask you, can you tell me what's known to you? It's really important to me."

Bai Liu bit his lip, his emotional side eventually triumphed over his rationality.

"Demon Child, this title is not commonly seen in our peculiar hierarchy, but it represents a special existence."

"It's said the Demon Child is the embodiment of peculiar source, possessing the potential to alter the Kaidan world and even the real world, let's say, with a simple thought, he could make a top peculiar like me, burdened with a nine-star Kaidan, suffer immensely, even lead to a mental breakdown."

Jiang Xiao's heart trembled.

He never imagined he would be involved in such a major secret.

At the same time, he instantly understood the meaning behind the High Priest's words earlier!

At the end, Bai Liu also cast a peculiar glance at Jiang Xiao.

If so.

From the beginning, the way Jiang Xiao operated in Kaidan indeed resembled the rumored Demon Child in many ways.

A perfectly good nine-star Kaidan was blown apart by him.

Wang Dayong still harbors a deep psychological shadow because of Jiang Xiao to this day.

It's imaginable how great the psychological trauma Jiang Xiao caused him was.

Moreover, bear in mind, Jiang Xiao was entering Kaidan for the first time then, not very sharp-minded, purely acting on his core self and recklessly causing such outcomes.

Jiang Xiao's heart pounded a few times, he took a deep breath, trying to suppress the shock within.

His gaze became profound, as if contemplating his identity and fate.

Bai Liu's deductions were also things Jiang Xiao had thought of.

So, is it quite possible that he is this Demon Child?

Only it seems he hasn't followed the Demon Child's "script" in growing up.

Like now, he can hardly induce a peculiar mental collapse, instead, he leans more towards solving issues with methods of the Chosen Ones...

Thinking from another perspective.

If following a normal script, he is the Demon Child in the peculiar world, while also being the strongest Chosen One on Blue Star.

If he were to fall into "demonic path," the entire Blue Star might be invaded by Kaidan in an extremely short time...

sss?

Is this change good or bad for him?

"Actually, it's neither good nor bad."

The High Priest reappeared quietly, his eyes holding a hint of helplessness.

"I told you not to inquire, but you insisted on digging deeper, actually, all you need is to be yourself, you can support whichever side you like, there's no wrongdoing in that."

The High Priest's voice carried a trace of jibe, seemingly mocking Jiang Xiao's confusion.

At the same time, he explained, their entire conversation was shielded by his power, preventing Blue Star people from noticing.

At this moment, the images in the Dragon Country live stream began to distort.

Everyone appeared crooked on it, and as for what was said, not a single word was comprehensible.

"Do you know? When I discovered this Demon Child was actually helping humanity, I was quite bewildered."

The High Priest leisurely sat in an adjacent chair, speaking peacefully.

"I must say, you are indeed a peculiar fellow, last time we met, no one had killed more humans than you."
