I Was Originally a Demon, but I Traveled to a Strange World

The soul-eating demon Xiu Moxuan, who has been in the demon world for three hundred years, was attacked by the Xianmen monks at the critical moment when he was trying to reach the realm of the demon emperor. He thought he would lose his soul, but unexpectedly traveled to a strange world shrouded in "rules". There are no familiar demonic auras and demonic bones here, only the old city of Red Fog City oozing with blood mist - a woman in red will appear outside the window at midnight asking for her life, the black mailbox at the door requires blank letters to be delivered daily, the sound of marbles in the neighbor's house hides a fatal trap, and every seemingly absurd "survival rule" is a butcher's knife hanging above the head. What made Mo Xuan even more collapsed was that his Heaven-reaching Demonic Skill was almost ineffective. The demonic energy in his meridians was suppressed by strange power, and he could not even summon the Soul-Eating Banner, his natal magic weapon. Faced with the "Postman" who can devour souls, the "Ghost in the Mirror" that can distort reality, and the "Midnight Train" that feeds on fear, Mo Xuan is forced to put away his tyranny as a demon cultivator and use the soul analysis ability developed in three hundred years as a demon cultivator to dismantle the weird The flaw behind the rules: He used demonic energy disguised as "the aura allowed by the rules" to avoid the woman in red, used the power of the fragments of the Soul-Eating Demonic Skill to counteract the ghosts in the mirror, and even transformed the "origin of fear" of strange creatures into nourishment for his own recovery. While other survivors were struggling to survive within the rules, Mo Xuan found a way to break the situation as a demon cultivator - others followed the rules to survive, but he had to go against the rules and turn the "power of rules" in this strange world into a stepping stone for him to return to the top. But as he went deeper, he discovered that this strange world was inextricably linked to the Immortal Sect that attacked him back then... Purpose: 1. The survival philosophy of "desperate situations against fate": breaking the solid cognition of "rules are shackles", and using the core of demonic cultivation to "do not believe in fate, only believe in one's own strength" to show that even in a desperate situation where power is suppressed and rules are around, you can find your own way out of the situation by dismantling crises and transforming threats (such as turning weird origins into demonic cultivation nourishment), instead of passively obeying or surviving. 2. Dialectical discussion of "the nature of power": Different from the traditional binary opposition of "devil = evil, good = good", the plot of the protagonist using "soul-eating magic power" (seemingly evil power) to break strange rules and protect similar survivors explores the idea that "power has no good or evil, only the user's choice defines its attributes" - even demonic skills can become a tool to fight against strangeness and protect life, breaking the prejudice against "demon power". 3. Obsession with "pursuing the truth": Behind the protagonist's time travel lies the connection between the Immortal Gate's sneak attack and the strange world. The main line of "restoring magic power → finding out the truth → revenge against the Immortal Gate" is essentially a resistance to the "fate of betrayal", and it is also an insistence on the "meaning of self-existence" - whether you are in the devil world or a strange world, never give up the pursuit of "why you live and who you fight for" to avoid losing your true heart in a desperate situation.
