474 Return Home (2/2)

”Well then…” Wang Lu whispered to himself and stepped forward. At the same time, his right hand clenched the already hot demon jade.

It was time to make a decision… He took great pains and huge risk to come here, for exactly this thing—the awakening of the demons who had been dreaming for two thousand years.

As long as the demons remained dreaming, the black tide in the dreamland would continue to brew and expand. Eventually, it would become big enough to cause a crisis in the Nine Regions. But if the dream stopped and the dreamers awakened, it meant that the new demon world was shattered… Although it was only a dream, it was the most magnificent dream that Wang Lu had ever seen.

To really destroy it single-handedly, Wang Lu… somewhat could not bear it.

Because it was not a simple dream. The two thousand years of development had made the new demon world an independent existence. Every one of them was peace-loving, flesh and blood, hardworking and intelligent, living creatures. In the new demon world, even Qiong Hua who had an extreme view towards demon race could not help but lay down her killing intent, completely unable to make a move against its inhabitants… It was indeed an intoxicating place.

But now, should he awaken them from their dream, the hundreds of millions of creatures would die without a burial ground when their world collapse.

This kind of sin, Wang Lu did not want to carry it on his body. But now, it seemed like he had no choice. Even if he did not make his move now, in a few years or decades later, the new demon world would still collapse on its own.

When he understood this point, Wang Lu immediately suppressed the little bit of uneasiness in his heart and continued to move forward.

The way to wake the demons from their dream was very simple—he just needed to fully use the domination effect of the demon jade. Although after the destruction of the Eternal Tree, the demon jade had lost its effect of the ruler of the world, Wang Lu believed that, in regard to the mountain of corpses in front of him, the demon jade still had a bit of imperial order effect.

What he had to do was simply to command these creatures to wake up.

Wang Lu didn't know whether the purple-black fog demon in the group of immortal tombs gave him the demon jade for this reason or not, but now it seemed like he would be able to make great use of it!

However, when Wang Lu was ready to use the power of the demon jade, an unusually loud voice suddenly sounded.

”I seem to smell a familiar smell!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Lu immediately looked at his feet, because that was where the voice came from!

”... Enasi, you're awake?”

This howling race found by Wang Lu in Kunlun Sect library was actually Wang Lu's card prepared by him so that he could return to Nine Regions from the demon world. However, the situation changed too quickly. The situation in the demon world exceeded his expectation, such that when he entered the demon world, Wang Lu found out that this howling demon actually fell asleep, as if Enasi was playing dead, completely unable to function.

When he thought about it right now, it was actually completely normal. Enasi was a remnant demon who lived thousands of years ago. At present, the laws of the demon world had already collapsed and the atmosphere was in disorder. Thus, it was no longer suitable to survive. Especially the air here which seemed to be highly toxic for demon race. And a demon whose only remain was the skin of the mouth alone naturally could not stand it.

Initially, he thought that this mouth would continue to sleep all the way to Nine Regions. He did not think that it would really wake up at this time.

However, even if it woke up, it could not do anything.

Wang Lu was about to ignore Enasi when he heard another exclamation from it, ”That's right, I smell the smell of my race! Master, are we back to the demon world? Yes, this is the smell of the demon world… Although there has been a great change, I would never mistake the smell of home!”

Feeling the surging from his foot, Wang Lu lifted it up. Suddenly, like a withered leaf dancing in the breeze, Enasi cheered.

”Hahaha, I'm home! I'm finally home!”

Wang Lu inwardly sighed: This is indeed your home, but after going through the vicissitudes of life, your home has been reduced to ruins.

Sure enough, in just a few moments, Enasi's cheer quieted down, replaced by deep doubt.

”Master, why do I feel that my home seems to have changed a lot? Moreover, it seems… lifeless?”

Enasi who had lost almost all its body and organs naturally could not see the earth-shaking change of the demon world, but after its feeling of euphoria of finally being home receded, ultimately, it could sense the anomaly through its sole sense.

Wang Lu went straight to the point. ”Demon world is finished.”

”Finished?” Enasi froze. And after a long time, asked, ”Master, what do you mean by… finished?”

Wang Lu lightly said, ”The Eternal Tree has been destroyed. The laws of the demon world thus collapsed. And everyone died.”

”This is impossible!” Enasi screamed, ”I just smelled the smell of my kin!”

”Smell again. Did you smell the putrid stench of corpse?”

”I…” Enasi's voice was once again muffled.

How could the putrid stench of mountain of corpses not have such a strong smell? It was just that, previously, Enasi did not want to think about this possibility at all, but only focused on the remnant smell of living cells in those corpses.

When Wang Lu thought that Enasi had accepted this reality, this howling race once again roared, ”This is impossible! I absolutely do not believe that demon race would be completely extinct! Flash demon, come out! I order you guys to appear immediately in front of me, at once!”

Thousands of years ago, among the demon race, flash demon was considered as a subgroup of the howling demon, so there was nothing wrong for Enasi in ordering them. But at this time, how could there be a flash demon to respond to that call?

”Flash demon! Are you guys going to rebel? I'm back! It's me!” Enasi furiously roared. Before long, its mouth began to bleed, but it still refused to stop. ”Then… Misty demon, where are they? Misty demon, come out! You guys can't possibly be extinct. I know you guys are alive, so come out!”

Boom!

Enasi's roar pierced through the sky and the blood red clouds were unexpectedly scattered! Howling demon… indeed deserved their reputation.

However, no matter how big the roar was, could it bring the dead back to life?

When Wang Lu shook his head, he suddenly saw a jerking movement in a spot at the mountain of corpses.

A body that had been dreaming for two thousand years unexpectedly suddenly stood up!
