Chapter 778: Prophecy of Life (III) (1/2)
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.”
