Chapter 1000: Intermission (3)
In a scarlet world, Hermes' figure quietly appeared on the top of a black castle.
He wore sunglasses, a swallowtail suit, a half-high straw hat, and held the God of Commerce's scepter. He looked at the tall twelve-winged demon in front of him wearing a black and luxurious dress with joy, and said in a brisk tone: "Hey, Belial, how is the situation now?"
The demon called Belial glanced at him and said, "It's going very smoothly. Although the followers of the God of Creation have been hindering my actions, there are still some weak-willed guys who have been tempted by me and become my pawns. Through these connections, with my astrology and prophecy, I have locked on the holy demon. It won't be long before this planet will collide with that place. By then, with the power generated by the collision of the planes, even the chair of the God of Creation will not be able to stop us."
"Don't take it lightly. There were also beings as powerful as you and me who attacked Douluo Star in this way before, but now they can only hide in embarrassment." Hermes shrugged. "The followers of the God of Creation may be more troublesome than the sages."
"What do you mean by 'favored followers of the God of Creation'? They are just people chosen by a tiny fragment of the God of Creation." Belial snorted coldly. "With the current situation of the Pseudo-God Realm of the Holy Demon Continent, it is impossible to stop me. I used secret methods to create 72 demon gods, all of which are god-level. They only have a demon hunting group and at most some relatives and friends. With our suppression of magic technology, as long as we arrive before the God of Heaven's Punishment fully awakens, victory will be ours. Even if we are really a step late, we still have a backup plan to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Don't underestimate them. The God of Creation will do everything he can to protect the God of Punishment. This is His will. Even if He becomes mentally dissociated due to the expansion of the universe and is thus scattered throughout the universe, the will of the universe is still the continuation of His will." Hermes said not seriously.
"If it is really that important, if the God of Creation really wants to preserve the bloodline of the God of Punishment, then why did He only send Eternity, a weak incarnation, to the Holy Demon Continent instead of sending other more powerful identities?" Belial asked back, "There is reason to believe that the various personalities of the God of Creation are not completely consistent, and there may even be contradictions and conflicts, checks and balances between them, which leads to the dilemma of only one chair to take on this important task."
Hermes did not continue the topic, "How is the investigation of the Creation Continent going?"
"Just as you expected, everything is a trap set by Long Haochen." Belial laughed. "If we really set our target as the Creation Continent, we would have fallen into his trap. He is really brave to use the destructive thoughts of the God of Condemnation as bait. However, this will not lure us in the end. What is important is the bloodline of the God of Condemnation, not the so-called divine power. In other words, inheritance is more important than power."
"That's good." Hermes nodded. "I have also covered it up. They probably think I am stalling for time in order to gain control of the core of the underworld. Although that is one of the reasons why I wander around the underworld, it is not the main reason."
"When we launch an attack on the Holy Demon Continent, the sage may receive a message asking for help. Then you can attack the three continents of Douluo Star and hold them back." Belial said.
"Remember to control the speed of this planet and make sure we arrive in 25 days." Hermes closed his eyes. "When the time comes, there will be unexpected reinforcements to help us share the pressure."
"Don't let them take over the throne." Belial narrowed his eyes. "Although compared to the blood of the God of Condemnation, the blood of Douluo Star is insignificant, it is still necessary for us. We need enough media to improve ourselves, otherwise we can only forcibly devour the blood of the God of Condemnation. What will happen in the end is hard to predict even for you and me."
"Don't worry, the plan is foolproof." Hermes said, "As long as the three conditions of the Dragon God's divinity on Douluo Star, the inherited temple of the God of Creation, and the center of the underworld are gathered, I will be able to establish the God Realm. By then, both you and I will become God Kings, and then relying on the blood of the God of Heaven's Punishment, it will not be difficult to establish the God Star and achieve supremacy. When we reach that step, relying on the God Star, we will not be afraid of any power in the universe."
"When that time comes, you will break free from your cage and pursue truth and freedom, I will rule this universe, and he will go find his lover. We will each get what we need, and there will be no conflict of interest." Belial continued.
"When I met Qin Lingxue before, you should have used your clairvoyance to observe the whole process." Hermes said, "What do you think of her?"
"That woman is very dangerous. I feel that her status should be higher than ours. She may be a true God King." Belial said solemnly, "Although I don't know why she seems to have no divine power in her body, and I don't know what she is planning, but no matter what, she is an obstacle to the success of our plan. She is the key point that is no more troublesome than the wise man."
“But on the other hand, if we can win her over and make her form a check and balance with the wise man, it will be a great thing for us,” said Hermes.
"Don't underestimate the strength of one party, otherwise, it will be very troublesome." Belial frowned.
"Don't worry, I know my limits." Hermes smiled and disappeared without a trace.
Belial looked around and saw magic factories and alchemy workshops producing various weapons and equipment. In the distance, a large number of demon armies were conducting exercises.
The demons who have reached the god level are either practicing, improving the production of magic devices, making alchemical equipment, or doing astrology and prophecy. Some are also providing enlightenment education in philosophy, mathematics, science, linguistics, music, art, and magic for some demons with lower intelligence.
Since plundering the energy of the abyss and allowing hell to evolve, the intelligence of the demons has also been improved accordingly. They were originally not good at production, but now they have corresponding wisdom and creativity, similar to humans.
He endowed the seventy-two pillars and the corresponding knowledge to the seventy-two most powerful demons, making them into demon gods, ruling over this vast demon world, bringing power, knowledge and wisdom to all the demons in the world, allowing them to complete the corresponding evolution and prepare to fight with the humans and monsters of the Holy Demon Continent.
Even a third- or fourth-tier demon, with the help of magic devices, can contend with fifth- or sixth-tier human professionals. The powerful magic cannon has the same attack power as a single forbidden spell. This is the power of magic technology, which is far beyond the power of the demons in the Holy Demon Continent.
Moreover, this was achieved on a small planet whose size and resources were far inferior to those of the Holy Demon Star.
The alchemical equipment of the Holy Demon Continent cannot compete with them at all. The technology there is too backward. With the same materials, they can make more powerful equipment.
And the seventy-two demon gods under his direct lineage are truly god-level, far from being comparable to the demon leaders who fought against humans in the past.
The hell creatures that have evolved under the influence of the Demon Pillar can no longer be simply called demons.
They are a completely new race of demons, led by demon gods, and they are far superior to the byproducts of the random contamination of the Demon Pillars when they were hunting the God of Heaven's Punishment.
After all, they had never thought of using magic energy to contaminate those creatures at the beginning. It was just a temporary response measure after something unexpected happened in the plan.
This time, they won't make the same mistake again.
The Holy Demon Continent is already in our pocket.
……
Green grass, blue sky with white clouds floating in it. Qin Lingxue, who was hiding from the sun under a parasol, gently put down her teacup and looked at the man in a silver clown costume in front of her. "You're back. How's it going?"
"It went smoothly. Although we can't use most of our strength, there are still many ways to create a temporary wormhole." The clown laughed, "In this way, the performers have been invited. The stage is also ready, and we are just waiting for the day to perform the play."
"Hermes and Belial are discussing plans for Douluo Star and Holy Demon Star." The crystal ball in front of Qin Lingxue showed a scene of hell. "If everything goes well, it will form a multi-party pincer attack. Even a wise man may not be able to take care of multiple battlefields."
"But they will definitely be able to turn danger into safety." The clown smiled, "Speaking of which, Long Haochen seems to be doing something interesting."
"Do you want to get involved?" Qin Lingxue asked.
"No need. Unfortunately, the stage over there has been set up and the protagonists are all here. There is no chance for me to get involved." The clown still had a smile on his face. "Besides, it's not good to create unnecessary trouble at this moment. Although the God of Punishment is indeed a trouble, it has nothing to do with our purpose. We just need a relatively stable rear area, and it has to be given to us by them personally. Doing fewer unplanned things is an important factor in the success of the plan."
"You have stayed in this era for too long, Mr. 'Magician of the Stage'. You are no longer a clown, but you are still wearing that outfit." Qin Lingxue narrowed her eyes, "Perhaps, you should go back to see the 'Masked Doctor'."
"That's true." The clown nodded, "What about you? What are you going to do?"
"Of course I have to stay here for a while. My goal hasn't been achieved yet, and I can't just leave like this." Qin Lingxue said.
"In that case, goodbye, 'Enchantress'."
Leaving behind these words, the figure of the man in clown costume gradually faded away.
……
At the Golden Dawn headquarters, Zu Yuan sat cross-legged in the room, adjusting his state.
In the afternoon, he will settle things with Yun Ming and the others.
He has decided that no matter what, he must defeat them this time and make an end to them and the past. Only in this way can he truly move to a higher level.
The green light representing vitality flowed around his body. In front of his chest, a red light was faintly visible. That was his second martial soul, the Stone of Eternity.
Since completing the seventh test in the Temple of Eternity and Creation, his cultivation has risen rapidly. Now he has reached the bottleneck of level 119 and comprehended the mysteries of many laws of life. He is only one step away from comprehending the law of life.
As long as he breaks through the super god level, he will be able to complete the eighth test and then truly approach the ninth test, completely controlling the temple, creating the divine realm, and becoming the God King.
More importantly for him, it would free him from his bondage completely.
For some reason, during this period of time after his resurrection, his heart could never calm down, as if his subconscious mind had been reminding him of something, but he had no clue.
At this moment, a sound seemed to be heard in his sea of consciousness.
The sound was very small at first, but it quickly became louder and could be heard clearly.
"Hello, thief, I came to say hello."
This voice gave Zu Yuan goose bumps all over his body, as if something that had been hidden had surfaced.
"Who is it?" Zu Yuan did not hesitate at all. He released his spiritual sense and swept across the entire sea of spiritual sense.
Suddenly, he discovered that part of his consciousness had blocked his scan, and it seemed as if part of the control over his body had been taken away, making it impossible for him to move as he wished.
"Who am I? You actually asked me who I am?" The voice laughed. "You are just a thief. How could you forget your master's identity?"
“Sneaky...!” Zu Yuan immediately mobilized his own spiritual consciousness to attack that part of the spiritual consciousness, but to no avail.
"It's useless. You can't hurt me with my spiritual sense." The voice was mocking, "You asked who I am, how could you not know me? I am the ancestor whose body you have taken over."
"What...! You are Zu Yuan, then who am I?"
"You? Didn't I tell you that you are just a thief? You were parasitized and assimilated by the fragments of the law enforcer, and you think you are a poor creature of the ancestor. But I am the real ancestor."
"……nonsense!"
"Think about it carefully. Why is there such a big difference in personality between you who have come back from the dead and you who were alive? Didn't you also vaguely sense something and thus cut off your identity from me?"
"..."
"If the law enforcers hadn't designed to seal me, you wouldn't have been able to take over my body. However, this state won't last much longer. It won't be long before I completely destroy you and take back my body."
"Don't be delusional. I still have the upper hand now. I can ask for support at any time and destroy you."
"Why don't you give it a try? It won't be long before you forget everything that happened here."
“What, you…!”
At this moment, a crisp voice sounded.
The pleasant sound of the piano echoed all around.
Zu Yuan's eyes gradually became confused.
Not long after, he fell into a deep sleep.
I don’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly, the alarm clock rang.
Zu Yuan slowly woke up, "I was meditating for a long time and almost missed the time. Fortunately, I set the alarm in advance."
He stood up, walked to the star cabin next to him, and lay down in it.
His consciousness was connected to the Star Battle Network.
