The Demon Lord's eyes had been open the entire time, the life in them gradually fading, dimming.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly brightened for an instant, perhaps because a shooting star had streaked across the sky just now.
This shooting star came from the star region in the north, perhaps even coming from the Heavenly Sovereign Star in the extreme north. What did this mean?
If the starry sky wants to kill someone, it doesn't need to give some sign in advance. It's just a coincidence, just like how your coming wasn't because of caution or bravery, only because you had no other choice.
The Demon Lord somewhat arduously turned his head and looked at his son. ”If you hadn't killed off all your brothers, leaving no one other than yourself to use the Astral Executioner, then with your patient personality, just how could you possibly take such a large risk to personally come and kill me?”
The young Demon Lord sternly said, ”Even if they were still alive, how could I be sure that they would meet with Sir? So in the end, it would still be me appearing before Sir.”
”This simple story is written very well, and you have also done very well.” The Demon Lord looked into his eyes, his voice clear and cold. ”But you should be well aware of what the Astral Executioner means. Then have you ever thought of how you will respond if those other races really do break through that wall and come?”
”Father, I have very seriously pondered this problem, but I ultimately concluded that I still had to do this. First of all, if I did not use the Astral Executioner, even if the Military Advisor and Big Aunt took the risk and came themselves, there was still no guarantee that we could kill Sir. The abyss two years ago was witness to one miracle, and I hoped that no other miracle would take place, especially with regards to Sir. Secondly, I really don't care if the other race finds a method to break through the wall using the Astral Executioner, as that will assuredly require many years.”
The young Demon Lord continued, ”Even if there are a few descenders before that, they will ultimately become my slaves, and when the day finally comes, I believe that I will have already united this continent we live on. Before the army of the other race comes, I will have taken a great army and gone over, so why do I need to worry about this problem?”
As he said this, his expression was very calm, brimming with endless confidence and a determined will.
The Demon Lord looked at his young face and thought of that earlier sight of Chen Changsheng charging from behind those stones. He faintly seemed to understand something, and felt relieved.
Grandiose ambitions, the business of conquest, and unworldly achievement actually did not need to be personally completed by me. I also can pass it on to my descendants.
The Demon Lord smiled. ”Since you are prepared, then it's fine.”
The young Demon Lord stooped down and softly kissed him on the forehead, sadly saying, ”I hate to see Sir leave.”
”No, in truth, I should have left long ago.”
The Demon Lord looked into his eyes and continued, ”Only tonight, when I saw you prove your prowess again, did I finally understand what my greatest error was. My lofty aspirations were thwarted a thousand years ago and my body long ago became rotted and on the verge of crumbling, yet I still craved power, was unwilling to pass the throne to you young people.”
Hot tears spilled from the young Demon Lord's eyes. ”Yes, we couldn't wait any longer, so we could only think of a way to invite Sir to leave this world.”
