A single kowtow before the devil, three thousand years pass; looking back at the mortal world, I refuse to become an immortal, all for her... to grasp the rise and fall of fate!

The Meaning of "Pursuit of the Devil"

The word "pursuit" has two meanings: one is to beg, the other is to seek.

"Pursuit of the Devil" takes the second meaning! But at the same time, it also contains other connotations. I searched through many words, but only this "pursuit" comes close to my heart.

Let’s further discuss what is meant by "devil." I suppose everyone thinks a devil is simply a bad person, someone who is utterly devoid of conscience, who will stop at nothing for success, even cultivating demonic arts—a great demon lord.

Like in the martial arts novels I read as a child, cultivating the "Purple River Chariot," or acts of utter inhumanity.

But, is that truly a devil?

I once told a friend that I wanted to write about a devil—a true devil—not the crude, dark demon lord seen through the eyes of later generations as time passes, but a devil!!

A weighty word, reflecting a person's entire life.

What I want to write is: before him, there were no devils in the world! After him, there will never again be a true devil!

What I want to write is a story with emotions different from those in "Renegade Immortal," but even more moving!

What I want to write is James Walker standing atop a mountain peak, gazing at heaven and earth, carrying a sense of desolation and sorrow, murmuring words that no one cares to hear.

"Since the world calls me a devil, then so be it. From now on, I, James Walker... am the devil!"
