#1327 - Shadow Demon: I have a dream, to build the demon clan

For millions upon millions of years, the Demon race had never possessed such a righteous and awe-inspiring powerhouse. Yet now,

an evil Demon who had always lived in the shadows, a Shadow Assassin who never engaged in direct combat,

at a time when the Demon army faced dire peril, actually stepped forward and declared his willingness to sacrifice himself to hold back the enemy!

Who says only those standing in the light can be heroes!

The Shadow Demon dared to turn back and face the gun of destiny!

This was something that had never happened in the history of the Demon race! It was a complete subversion of the Demon nature, a perversion in the eyes of the Demons!

However, faced with the pleas of all the Demons, the Shadow Demon remained resolute, his eyes filled with unwavering determination.

"All for the sake of the Demon race's prosperity! As a Demon, from birth until now, the tragic state of the Abyss has been etched in my mind!"

"There, sunlight never reaches, and all Demons can only live in darkness and shadows."

"Even newborn infants are dragged into endless slaughter, and all Demons live under the constant threat of death!"

"I have a dream that one day, the Demon race will descend upon the human realm, seize the lands of the Western Heavens, and live in that world of boundless light and beauty, so that all Demons are born with food to eat, have books to read as children, and jobs to do when they grow up!"

"The Demon race's revival is at hand! This is truly a critical moment of survival! If we falter and collapse midway, the Demon path will perish!"

"Although I am but a mere Shadow Demon, born in the shadows, I yearn for the sunlight. If I can offer this frail body to ensure the peace and tranquility of the Demon race for ten thousand generations to come, what do I have to fear! My death will be worthwhile!"

The Shadow Demon's declaration before the assembled Demons shocked them into near-stupor!

They had never known that such a great Shadow Demon existed in this world, one who harbored such a magnificent dream!

Although it seemed natural for Demons to be born in the Abyss, the Shadow Demon's righteousness was so noble that he sought to create a better Demon world, sacrificing his life for the sake of a glorious Demon realm!

Gu Yang, his eyes filled with tears, tremblingly raised his hand,

wanting to speak, but tears flowed first!

At that moment, Gu Yang felt a nameless, incredibly powerful force surging from the depths of his heart.

It was a force called ideal, a lamp that the Shadow Demon had brought to this evil and murderous Demon race!

Gu Yang wiped away his tears again and again, but the tears flowed like a bursting Yellow River, gushing out endlessly, filled with boundless emotion and excitement!

Gu Yang looked at the Shadow Demon before him. He was not tall, but in Gu Yang's eyes, he was the greatest figure in the Demon race.

For a moment, Gu Yang even thought that the one standing there was the Immortal Monarch known as the most righteous and handsome in the Three Realms, the Three Realms Law Enforcement Prison God.

Gu Yang shook his head. The one standing before him was still the Shadow Demon, not Chu Hao, the one who had caused countless sorrows for the Demon race.

If this were the Abyss, Gu Yang would definitely risk offending the Abyss Demon Royalty to recommend this Shadow Demon, who possessed an unparalleled and great dream.

In Gu Yang's opinion, even the most powerful Demons were just a pile of loose sand.

But if they possessed the Shadow Demon, they would possess the power to gather sand into a tower, to create a better world!

However, just as the Demons were moved, they heard an angry roar from a Buddha behind them:

"Audacious Demons, stealing from the Western Heavens, utterly despicable! If I do not cast you into the eighteenth level of hell today, I vow not to be a Buddha!"

At that moment, the Demons once again felt the aura of impending crisis.

The Demons were in a state of panic.

However, the Shadow Demon stood forward, gazing at Gu Yang and saying:

"Great Marshal, there's no time left. Let me go!"

These few words brought tears to Gu Yang's eyes once more.

However, this time, Gu Yang wiped away his tears.

Gu Yang had a scale in his heart. He knew that the Shadow Demon, who possessed a great dream and was a strategist-level existence within the Demon race, was far more important than those Demons present who only knew how to kill and had no dreams!

In fact, Gu Yang had already placed the Shadow Demon at a height even more important than himself!

Brother, if one day my wife is in your bed, I would suspect that she seduced you!

Gu Yang had completely recognized the Shadow Demon, and based on his observations of the Shadow Demon during this period,

Gu Yang believed that this Shadow Demon was to the Demon race as the Prison God Chu Hao was to the Heavenly Court.

The Heavenly Court could be without the Jade Emperor, but it could not be without the Prison God Chu Hao.

The Demon race could be without him, the Great Marshal Gu Yang, but it could not be without the Shadow Demon!

Just as the Shadow Demon was about to rush out to stop the Buddha, Gu Yang grabbed the Shadow Demon's hand, his heart filled with passion, which turned into a single sentence:

"Brother, let me go!"

Chu Hao: ? ? ?

I'm running away, what are you going to do? Could it be that you also plan to run away?

The Shadow Demon's face was filled with excitement as he repeatedly waved his hand.

"Absolutely not, Great Marshal! The Demon race is now in need of revival, and it needs a supremely intelligent powerhouse to build it up. Great Marshal Gu Yang, you have been entrusted with important responsibilities by the Demon Lord, and you must prioritize the overall situation!"

"I am but a commoner, and only with the Great Marshal's promotion have I achieved what I am today. Let me go. A true man is born between heaven and earth, and to die for his country is a worthy death!"

The Shadow Demon quickly tried to shake off Gu Yang's hand, his attitude extremely firm and resolute!

Chu Hao cursed in his heart: Let go! If you don't let go, he'll really catch up, and I won't be able to escape then!

However, Gu Yang pulled the Shadow Demon back, his face filled with sincerity.

"Brother, I know the righteousness in your heart, I know your lofty ambitions, but now is not the time for you to sacrifice yourself. You need to preserve yourself for the Demon race!"

"You have more important things to do. You cannot die here!"

Gu Yang's hand was trembling at this moment. He held the Shadow Demon's hand tightly, as if he were holding the future of the Demon race!

At that moment, Gu Yang felt immense respect for the Shadow Demon, and in an instant, he and the Shadow Demon had sublimated into comrades-in-arms!

How can it be said that we have no clothes? I will share my robes with you!

Gu Yang's heart was filled with passion. He wanted to live with the Shadow Demon, to work together to build a better future, and to offer blessings for the future of a glorious Demon race!

But this time, Gu Yang might not be able to accompany the Demon race any longer…

Gu Yang suddenly changed his passionate tone, looking at the Shadow Demon with a very serious and earnest expression.

"Shadow Demon, I now, in the capacity of the Three Realms Demon Race Grand Marshal, issue you a mission!"

The Shadow Demon was stunned.

"What is it?"

Then, to Chu Hao's shocked gaze, Gu Yang handed the ring containing all the treasures to the Shadow Demon.

Chu Hao: ? ? ?
