Chapter 778: Prophecy of Life (III)

action

The Demon God Emperor said, “I know you are very discontent with what I did earlier, but you should also understand exactly what Austin Griffin means to our race. Recently, I used my secluded cultivation as a cover to fool the humans in the capital and I went to the Illusory Shrine. I personally killed the fairy dragon that neared a million spiritual energy, destroyed both the Illusory Shrine and Illusory Paradise and tried to capture the remnant that the Goddess of Nature had left in the human world. After I had killed the fairy dragon, it left behind the Fairysource and fairy’s heart. The fairy’s heart was taken away by the remnant of the Goddess ofNature, while the Fairysource ended up in my hands. Just when I was about to succeed, Long Haochen appeared and destroyed my plans. He’s already powerful enough to threaten me and he quickly saved the remnant of the Goddess of Nature, which made me lose my chance at becoming a true god.”

With that, the demon gods all understood. As it turned out, the Demon God Emperor was not furious only because Long Haochen was still alive and Austin Griffin might have been revived. He was angry because his plan on becoming a god was destroyed as well.

Without a doubt, it was basically impossible for the Demon God Emperor to obtain the remnant of the Goddess of Nature after she had been saved by Long Haochen.

Although all the demon gods present knew that the Demon God Emperor’s cultivation was unfathomable, this was the first time he had personally admitted the possibility of becoming a god. In that moment, the pressure from earlier gradually reappeared in the hearts of the demon gods.

As the strongest group among the demons, they knew what becoming a god meant very well. No wonder the Demon God Emperor had been turning a blind eye to most of the matters happening in the race recently. He had really reached that level.

The Demon God Emperor said coldly, “Long Haochen’s still alive, which means he’s a threat. Even if Austin Griffin is really dead, he himself still can threaten our reign. The next time we meet will be when we clash and his cultivation has already surpassed the strongest powerhouse in human history. And, he’s only in his twenties right now. If we give him enough time and space, our race will be in danger. As a result, I have already decided to reignite the holy war. We need to kill off Long Haochen for good, regardless of whether he’s a human or an undead.”

No one dared to object. Even though the demon gods all knew that the main reason for this was probably because the Demon God Emperor wanted to take back that god so he could become a god, since the threat of Austin Griffin was most likely gone, would they still be bold enough to say anything? He had already made an example out of the Star Demon God. The Demon God Emperor did not have second Fairysource.

“Tell me, do you have any suggestions?” The Demon God Emperor’s dignified gaze swept past the demon gods below.

The demon gods looked at each other. None of them dared to say anything. This news had come just too suddenly.

At this moment, Ah’Bao who stood beside Demon God Emperor began to talk. He took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee before the Demon God Emperor, “Father, since we will be reigniting the holy war, I think we have to unleash our full strength this time. In the last holy war, we exhausted a tremendous about of effort and resources. Although the humans were the same, we still failed to take their strongholds. I think we have to kill our way into the humans no matter what we do and deal a proper blow to them. Even if it’s not enough to wipe them out completely, we have to make them really suffer, or even destroy one or two temples.”

The Demon God Emperor became rather impatient, “Go into detail. These empty words are useless.”

Ah’Bao said, “I think we should concentrate our forces this time and attack just one or two srtongholds. With our strength, it’s impossible for them to repel us. Since the objective this time is destruction, not just suppression or dealing a blow, we should be more vicious. I am willing to lead the vanguard into battle.”

Coldness flashed through the Demon God Emperor’s eyes, “There’s something you got right. This time, we have to make the humans suffer. According to our scouts among the humans, the humans have recovered very quickly during the years after the last holy war. At least, it’s faster than us. The advantage that the humans have gradually has begun to show itself. If this continues, the humans might even launch a counterattack against us in a few years’ time. We cannot allow that to happen. The holy war this time won’t be a bunch of small skirmishes. I want the humans to truly understand what an unopposable power is. Agares, Vassago, go back first. Gather your clansman and this time, we need to send out all the elites of our three clans. I’d like to see what the humans will use to stop us. Of course, before this, we should clean up the annoying flies in Modu. I haven’t touched them all these years, so do they really think I can’t do anything to them?”

The Demon God of Death Samigina said politely, “Your majesty, then where should we begin our attacks against the humans? My Fiend Clan pledges our lives to your majesty. We are willing to serve as the vanguard.”

The Demon God Emperor said plainly, “The humans can’t stop us no matter where we begin. Let me deal with the annoying flies in Modu before I decide on the exact plan. Ah’Bao, gather all the Demon Hunter Removers in Modu. From today onwards, I will name you the commander of the Demon Hunter Removers. You will lead all of them. Prepare for battle.”

“Yes,” a cold light surged in Ah’Bao’s eyes as heavy battle spirit and killing intent appeared.

The other demon gods below kneeled down at the same time, “We pledge our lives, your majesty.”

......

...

“If the demons are going to launch an attack, the most likely target is our Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass.” Long Haochen on the leading seat in the discussion hall of the Knight Temple. Beside him sat Long Xingyu and the members of the Bright Glimmer of Hope. Aside from him, the other people of the Bright Glimmer of Hope were also members of the union. They possessed the right to participate in this meeting.

As soon as Long Haochen had said that, the powerhouses of the Knight Temple became shocked.

Long Xingyu asked in doubt, “Chairman, why do you think that?”

Long Haochen said, “Because the Demon God Emperor’s target is me. Everyone, you still should be able to remember that with my companions, we once destroyed Demon God Pillars. We destroyed the Demon God Pillars of the Snake Demon God Andromalius and the Panther Demon God Auxerre, turning the seventy-two Demon God Pillars into seventy forever, with no possibility of recovering. That was because I possess a special power that just happens to suppress the Demon God Pillars of the demons, which can also destroy them. Because of this, the Demon God Emperor had once set up a trap, ambushing and almost killing us completely. More correctly, he thought I had already died back then. This time, in order to stop him from gaining the Goddess of Nature’s godhood remnants, we met again. The Demon God Emperor must have felt threatened and will want to wage war once more. His target will be me. To the demons, I am their greatest issue. If they don’t kill me, the Demon God Emperor will never find peace, and the best way to deal with me is to directly attack the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, because the Demon God Emperor is confident that as a member of the Knight Hall, I won’t just abandon the mountain pass. That is why I’m guessing his first target is likely to be attacking us.”

Everyone nodded upon hearing Long Haochen’s explanation, but it was possible to tell from the worry in their eyes that the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass really was unwilling to clash with the demons right now.

Long Haochen said seriously, “I can understand your worries. The holy war has just ended a few years ago and you are all resting. If the demons do come again, it will definitely be a great disaster. And, it’s very likely that the Demon God Emperor will personally lead the devil dragons into battle. It will be even more dangerous than the precious holy war. However, it’s not up to us to decide whether the war happens or not. Although it was an accident when I stopped the Demon God Emperor from obtaining the remnants of the Goddess of Nature, I am confident that if the Demon God Emperor succeeds, it will be our doomsday. We will lose our future. As a result, all we can do is unleash our full strength in a battle to the death against the demons this time. This battle very well might become the turning point in our age of darkness.”

“Our Knight Temple has gained six divine knights, unprecedented in history. This means that history has placed a huge burden on us. There is only one objective in the meeting today. No matter when the holy war begins or how powerful the enemy is, I hope our divine knights can all be prepared for battle and face the problems of the near future in our strongest condition. Whether we can carve out a ray of light in the darkness will be up to us. As the chairman of the union, I have an inescapable responsibility. As the Divine Knight of Glory and Leadership, I can guarantee everyone that before I die, the Demon God Emperor won’t be able to harm any of our fellow officers.”

After these warmhearted words, everyone present was brimming with enthusiasm. Long Haochen’s promise meant that he would be taking on all the burden of facing against the greatest powerhouse of the demons, the Demon God Emperor. Throughout the history of humans, whether it was the Divine Holy Sword Wield or the Scion of Samsara, none of them had ever promised like Long Haochen, despite all being prodigies. After thinking about how Long Haochen had already become the master of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation as well, everyone’s confidence immediately increased slightly.

Long Haochen continued, “I’ve already written a letter to the headquarters. In the next few days, the upper echelon of the union will arrive at Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass to discuss the countermeasures. At the same time, they will bring with them the newly-formed first and second armies of the union. As for the battle plan and tactics we will use, we will decide after careful discussion.”

The meeting ended and Long Haochen had reached his basic objective. At least, he had roused the morale of the Knight Temple hall at the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. However, Long Haochen did not feel at ease at all, because he knew that after the holy war last time, the six human temple had all become jittery. After all, the humans had suffer far too great of a loss last time.

However, matters would not disappear just because they were afraid. They could completely foresee the arrival of the Demon God Emperor. What Long Haochen needed to do right now is to increase morale as much as possible and gather all the powers of the union to face against the issue.
