—------------------—

In the capital city of the Demon Clan on the Holy Demon Continent.

In the palace of Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, many demon gods gathered, but the main hall was eerily quiet, with even the demon gods themselves waiting patiently.

They were all waiting for the prophecy of the Star Demon God Vasak.

In fact, before the Demon God returned to the Demon Capital after leading the Demon Army to attack the Demon Exorcism Pass, the Star Demon God had a premonition that the fate of the Demon Race would undergo a great change.

However, this premonition was very vague, and even the Star Demon God himself found it difficult to discern whether it contained an opportunity or a danger.

However, after that demon god returned, the Star Demon God vaguely sensed that the completely blurry future had become slightly clearer.

So he took the initiative to ask for a prophecy about the fate and future of the demon race, and many demon gods, including the Demon God himself, waited with great anxiety.

Since their arrival on the Holy Demon Continent, the demons have indeed held a significant advantage. For hundreds of years, humanity has barely managed to maintain its defenses, but it remains at a complete disadvantage.

If the demon race is truly willing to go to any lengths, it's not impossible for them to destroy the entire human race.

Just as everyone held their breath in anticipation, some demons noticed that Demon God Feng Xiu's brows suddenly furrowed, and then Feng Xiu disappeared from among the demons.

In the secret chamber where the Star Demon God foretells the future, the power of the stars converges, allowing the Star Demon God to use this immense power to predict the future.

Just now, as he was trying to glimpse a corner of the future, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart.

Then, a wisp of darkness suddenly appeared in his eyes, obscuring the originally brilliant starlight in them.

Immediately afterwards, black flames burst into flames on his head with a bang, burning away all his long hair.

What was burned was not only his hair, but also his use of the power of the stars, severing his connection with it.

Just as his hair was completely burned away, Fengxiu appeared in the secret room.

"what happened?"

Feeling the lingering heat in the secret room, Feng Xiu asked in a deep voice.

Then he saw the Star Demon God's aura instantly weaken, his eyes filled with black mist, and he could no longer see any brilliance.

"You...you pay the price for prophecy?"

The demon god frowned, his heart filled with shock.

He knew that the Star Demon God's prophecy might come at a price, but he never expected it to be such a terrible one.

In his perception, the Star Demon God was extremely weak, much weaker than the seventy-second Demon God.

The Star Demon God had made several prophecies before, but none of them had resulted in a backlash as severe as this one. The magnitude of the backlash indicated the immense change in the fate of the demon race and the great danger they faced.

The Star Demon God was breathing weakly, and Feng Xiu did not urge him to answer what the prophecy had been.

Only after the Star Demon God's complexion improved slightly and he stopped panting heavily did Feng Xiu personally lead the Star Demon God back to the main hall.

The Moon Demon God's expression changed drastically the instant he saw the Star Demon God's state.

As the second most powerful figure in the Demon Clan, the Moon Demon God knew almost as much as the Demon God, and he understood what the Star Demon God's current state meant.

"Vasak, most of the demons are here. Tell me what you predicted."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Vasak's voice still sounded weak, as if all his immense power had vanished from his body.

"Your Majesty, I foresee that in the near future, the fate of the Demon Race will undergo a tremendous change, a change no less significant than when we fled our own world to the Holy Demon Continent."

Upon hearing this, the Star Demon God caused an uproar among the many demon gods in the hall.

They knew all too well the extent of the crisis they faced when they fled to the Holy Demon Continent; it was a major crisis that could destroy the very life of an entire world.

We've only been in this plane for a few thousand years, and now a new crisis is about to arrive?

"How long into the near future is that? What is the source of the danger? Is it those humans who have retreated to a corner of the Holy Demon Continent? Or is it those few chairs?"

The Demon Emperor, however, maintained the composure befitting a demon king, and calmly pressed for an answer.

The Star Demon God shook his head.

"My abilities are limited. I've only managed to predict this much before I'm about to lose my life. But this future is definitely not far off, perhaps in the next few days, at most within a year. As for its origin, I know nothing about it. Perhaps it's related to fire?"

The Star Demon God's prophecies were never clear visions of the future; they were often vague premonitions.

His guess was that it was related to the flames, after all, his hair was destroyed and his connection with the stars was severed, all of which were related to the sudden appearance of the flames.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor's brows furrowed even more.

A year is almost a blink of an eye for these demon gods, not to mention that danger may befall them in the next few days.

Seeing Xingmoshen's miserable state, Fengxiu couldn't bring herself to continue criticizing him.

After all, if it weren't for the Star Demon God's prophecy, they might have been caught off guard by the impending danger.

"Since you foresaw the danger, what will be the fate of our demon race this time? Is there any way to successfully overcome this danger?"

When the nine-headed chimera destroyed their world, they barely managed to escape with all their might. Now, a similar crisis has arrived, but the demon race is much weaker than when it once possessed the entire plane. How easy would it be to overcome this challenge?

Fengxiu worried that even though they had managed to escape, they would still die on the Holy Demon Continent.

"Whether the demon race will be destroyed or preserved, I cannot see clearly, but it is definitely not without hope. However, the backlash I am suffering now is very severe. Not only have I lost my ability to make prophecies, but other powers have also dissipated to the point that I can no longer make a second prophecy."

The Demon Emperor remained silent for a long time. Although the other demon gods looked anxious and even fearful, they dared not say anything. Only the Moon Demon God's eyes changed slightly.

"You have done your best. Go back and rest. Once the backlash you suffered has subsided, and if the crisis has not yet arrived, you can make the second prophecy."

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty."

The Star Demon God has managed to stay conscious and say so much, which is already a great feat. With the Demon God's permission, he immediately left.

"The danger facing the demons is definitely related to that fortress that suddenly appeared. We can't just sit here and wait to die. We must find out what exactly happened."

When news of the Soul Palace Fortress's arrival reached the Star Demon God, he felt that the prophecy of the future had become clearer, at least indicating that the danger facing the Demon Race was related to that fortress.

They themselves were uninvited guests on the Holy Demon Continent, so they were particularly sensitive to this kind of external danger.

However, before exploring the fortress, the Demon Emperor ordered all the demons who were still outside to return. If things really couldn't be salvaged, they could join forces for a final stand, or escape to other planes as they had done before.
