"You really came."
Not long after the Star Demon God returned, he suddenly spoke to the empty place.
"Are you really blind? Even when you were perfectly healthy, you wouldn't have been able to spot me so easily, would you?"
The area being stared at by the Star Demon God's black mist distorted, and the Moon Demon God's figure appeared.
"I didn't need to find out; I knew you would come."
The Moon Demon God smiled and shook his head. He rarely experienced things that could be seen through by others at a glance, but who could blame him when the person in front of him was Vasak?
"Since you knew I was coming, you probably also know what I want to ask."
Vasak sighed, "I told His Majesty the Demon Emperor the truth. It concerns the future of the entire demon race, so why would I hide it?"
Even among the demon gods, there may be their own thoughts, but when it comes to the life and death of the entire demon race, they certainly do not have selfish motives.
The Moon Demon God said, "I know you're telling the truth, and you've stated everything you're certain of, but what about your guesses? What about the part of the prophecy you're unsure about?"
The Star Demon God could tell that the Moon Demon God would come looking for him, and the Moon Demon God also guessed that the Star Demon God was holding back.
Sure enough, a look of struggle appeared on the Star Demon God's face.
"Since you already know those are just my guesses, why ask? Knowing them will only add to your troubles and won't do you any good."
"Perhaps, but I need to know, not only for the demon race, but also for myself."
The Moon Demon God's attitude was firm, as if he wouldn't leave unless you told him to.
"Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you my unreliable guesses."
"Please speak."
"The fate of the demon race may not just be the impending crisis. It is filled with too many uncertainties that I cannot see clearly. But I seem to have grasped a thread, but this thread is too incredible. It is more like a curse of fate, a trap deliberately set for me."
The Moon Demon God's breathing quickened. The more uncertain the Star Demon God was, the more he wanted to know what the Star Demon God's guess was.
"Speak quickly, so you can go and recover from your injuries."
"I think that resisting the impending fate might bring disaster, while complete submission and compromise might be the only way to survive."
"What? You mean we should do nothing and just compromise and admit defeat when the impending danger actually arrives?"
Although the Star Demon God had already said that his guess was unreliable, and the Moon Demon God had also made preparations, they still found it incredible.
Even if the Star Demon God said that it would take the sacrifice of many demon gods, or even the Demon God Emperor himself, to overcome this crisis, he would not be so shocked. But what the Star Demon God said was to lie down and admit defeat, letting the unknown crisis ravage him at will.
"I already said this is just speculation, and it could very well be a backlash from fate. Just treat it as a joke. Don't make a fuss about it once you get out. I need to go into seclusion to recover from my injuries."
The Star Demon God, too lazy to respond to the Moon Demon God's shock, simply stated that he would see the guest out.
The Moon Demon God didn't press the matter further. It was already quite remarkable that the Star Demon God had said so much. If these words had been spoken in the Demon God Emperor's palace, the Star Demon God might have been punished for disturbing people's peace.
Although the Moon Demon God received more information from the Star Demon God, he became even more confused.
What kind of danger is it that makes resistance even more perilous, and that only direct surrender offers a way out?
The Moon Demon God left with a belly full of doubts. It was not easy for him to find time to come here, as he still had to busy himself with the arrangements for the defense of the Demon City.
...
"This old guy has been dead for so many years, I never expected he would still have such a backup plan."
After Xiao Mu and the others left the Land of Descent, they first agreed to Electrolux's request and went to another place.
The Eternal Tower left behind by Electrolux still stands on the Holy Demon Continent. It was originally a legacy left by Electrolux before his death, intended for someone destined to inherit it.
But now that he has been resurrected, he naturally wants to reclaim his familiar old friend, Aion.
Electrolux not only reclaimed the Tower of Eternity, but also took back the Light attribute that had been stripped from it.
As a former Child of Light, Electrolux possessed immense power in the light attribute. After his resurrection, all his past struggles and hesitations vanished, as if he had been reborn.
The integration with the power of light that had once belonged to him went very smoothly, without the slightest rejection.
"I would be grateful if you would accompany me on this journey, Lord. I will do my utmost to assist you in retrieving the Seventy-Two Demon God Pillars."
Perhaps due to the fusion with the power of light, Electrolux's previously somewhat gloomy and lifeless aura has become much gentler, and he now has a kind and benevolent smile on his face.
Xiao Mu was about to say something when he suddenly paused.
Just now, he felt a strong sense of being watched, not from any particular direction, but from all directions, an all-pervasive gaze.
In that brief instant, Xiao Mu's soul power combined with the power of the Void Devouring Flame swept out, with a wisp of it penetrating into the invisible void and disappearing.
Immediately afterwards, the feeling of being spied on disappeared.
"Lord, what's wrong?"
Zhan Kaishan and the others had already surrounded Xiao Mu, looking around menacingly. Electrolux's scepter slammed heavily to the ground, and many skeletons with soul fire flickering in their eyes stood up in the distance.
"Someone is watching me… no, they're predicting my future."
Electrolux immediately said, "In that demon's memory, the third-ranked Star Demon God among their seventy-two demon gods seemed to have the ability to foresee the future."
Xiao Mu smiled and said, "We were going there anyway. These demons do have some skills. In that case, let's go and have a go at them."
"Yes, I'm also quite eager to get started."
Electrolux reclaimed the Tower of Eternity and, after merging with the power of light, his strength increased again. Along the way, he gathered many undead and skeletons, forming a vast undead army, slightly demonstrating the oppressive power of the undead scourge he once possessed.
Electrolux was a man of extraordinary talent and brilliance. He wanted to test the strength of the demons who had invaded the Holy Demon Continent after he had exhausted its power, and he especially wanted to meet the legendary Demon God Emperor who was said to be invincible in the world.
The Pope of the Glorious Church died at his hands, and Electrolux wanted to see who was stronger, the Demon Emperor or the Pope of the Glorious Church.
Meanwhile, in the Demon Exorcism Pass, powerful figures from several other temples who had come to provide support also arrived.
This era is two thousand years removed from the birth of Long Haochen, the protagonist of the Divine Seal King's throne. The current powerhouses of the major temples are all figures who were originally submerged in the history of the Holy Demon Continent.
"Why are you in such a hurry to call for our help? What happened? Didn't the demon army already retreat?"
