When they heard Lingxiao Immortal Lord mention that they were about to return to the Divine Realm, everyone's breath hitched again.
The timing is too perfect! If several ascendants were to arrive in the God Realm, wouldn't their fight against the evil gods be much less of an advantage?
Then they heard that the possibility of the evil god descending in person was slim, and that if the three races worked together, they would surely defeat the evil god's followers.
On this day, everyone was filled with anxiety, and when they finally returned home, their steps were unsteady.
The Second Prince's faction was also disturbed.
Upon hearing the news, Lu Sha rushed to the Second Prince's residence in a panic, "Second Brother, something terrible has happened! Outside, everyone is talking about Lord Shenling!"
"What exactly happened?"
Lu Sha then told Lu Qinghe the news she had received. After listening, Lu Qinghe's expression brightened. "Are you sure those people are going to the Divine Realm?"
Seeing Lu Qinghe's relaxed expression, Lu Sha also calmed down. "That's what they said."
"If it's true, there's no need to worry."
Lu Sha's eyes lit up. It seemed that her second brother had finally succeeded, and she was one step closer to success as well.
Because Hogg's crafting methods differed from those of the Tianxuan Continent's artificers, the artifact for detecting death energy was not given to the human artificers of the Tianxuan Continent. To meet the demand, Hogg even returned to his clan's territory to urge the dwarves to expedite its forging.
Soon, Hogg handed over a large number of treasures to Ange, who then distributed them to various sects. The people who received the treasures were not happy, because the day when Jiang Shang and the other immortal lords would depart for the Divine Realm was fast approaching.
The sky above the Demon Realm is always gray, but on the day the immortal lords ascended, a white light suddenly appeared in the sky above the Demon Realm, which had remained unchanged for tens of thousands of years. Everyone knew that it was the road to the God Realm.
Yi Wenbai, Tao Dong, Jiang Shang, and Hu Jiu followed the light step by step toward the sky. Then the light disappeared, and the sky returned to normal.
The patriarchs watched the Path to Heaven gradually disappear, sighing inwardly. Hadn't they spent their entire lives cultivating, hoping for such a day? Fortunately, the Path to Heaven had now opened; whether or not they ascended was merely a matter of their state of mind.
The discussion about the immortals leaving was quickly diverted by the news of the Demon King's ascension to the throne. Apart from some rogue cultivators and cultivators from small sects, most sect disciples remained in the Demon Realm.
Firstly, participating in the Demon King's Ceremony demonstrates the human race's friendship towards the demon race. Secondly, the fact that the demon race has followers of an evil god has already spread, and as friendly races, they naturally wouldn't stand idly by.
Compared to the Holy Maiden's ceremony, the Demon King's coronation ceremony was rather shabby. But Lu Yan didn't care at all. He accepted the Demon King's seal, looked at the demons' dependence, and his eyes lost their usual frivolousness.
He used to say it was for the sake of the demon people, mostly because of the sympathy he felt for them. Never before had he felt such a heavy responsibility and burden, and even had the thought of sacrificing everything for the demon people.
Just as the ceremony was proceeding smoothly, the entire sky suddenly turned dark and oppressive, filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
Is a demon god about to descend?
"No, this isn't what it means for a demon god to descend. This is death energy! The enforcement team just arrested a few followers of an evil god a few days ago, and they had this kind of aura on them."
"An evil god! An evil god has descended!"
The demons were surprised, but not panicked. They had experienced the power of a demon god's descent; compared to that power, these were nothing. Moreover, in their hearts, the Holy Maiden was chosen by the demon god, no different from a deity. With the Holy Maiden present, what did they have to fear?
Compared to the demons' composure, the humans were somewhat panicked. Weren't they supposed to be immune to divine intervention? What... what are we going to do?
However, the human race quickly calmed down. These cultivators were born to fight against fate. They appeared calm on the outside, but they had an indomitable spirit in their bones. Rather than be turned into a terrible monster, they would rather take a gamble!
"My good nephew, how could you not inform your second uncle about such an important matter? You really disappoint me." Lu Qinghe's figure suddenly appeared in the air, looking down expectantly, trying to see panic on Lu Yan's face.
As a result, Lu Yan didn't even frown after he finished speaking.
"Manager, what do you think?"
An Ge shook her head. "No, it's far inferior to Rhodes. Besides, the appearance of the evil god is really unoriginal; I'm tired of watching it."
"Indeed, I had been looking forward to it for so long, it's so disappointing."
The two chatted as if no one else was around, infuriating Lu Qinghe. Shouldn't they be flustered, surprised, or at the very least, on guard? Why were they acting like they were watching a show?
"I am a god!" Lu Qinghe said angrily, "With just a thought from me, you will all die without a doubt."
"That sounds familiar, but he's even better at boasting than Rhodes," Ange commented.
Xun Kuang asked curiously, "I know Rhodes. I heard he's an old god in the divine realm. How does this guy's strength compare to Rhodes'?"
“Even if Rhodes is not the best, he is still a true god. How could this false god compare?” An Ge noticed something was wrong as soon as Lu Qinghe appeared. Having dealt with gods for so long, she could still distinguish between true and false gods.
However, Lu Qinghe's strength truly exceeded her expectations. She hadn't anticipated that, with the help of the evil god, he had actually reached the realm of a pseudo-god. Furthermore, given that he might be a chosen one, An Ge appeared relaxed on the surface, but inwardly she was already on guard.
Moreover, she hadn't forgotten that Lu Sha had also held a summoning ceremony. Although she had sent people to intercept her, no one knew what the outcome would be until the very last moment.
Lu Qinghe, who had worked so hard for so long, hated being called a false god. "That idiot Rhodes, he thinks he can control this plane. Hmph, you don't actually think Rhodes is the power behind me, do you?"
"Let me guess, it might have been Rhodes at first, but didn't you shut down the Holy Tower? So naturally Rhodes abandoned you. And then, you were chosen by another evil god, am I right?"
It must be said that Rhodes was not very lucky, and the eldest prince he chose was even less capable.
Lu Qinghe choked, suddenly feeling a sense of frustration.
"So what? I admit your talent is strong, but that's all it can do. Annihilating a powerful ascendant from the Divine Realm is a considerable achievement, hahaha!" After saying that, Lu Qinghe prepared to make his move.
"Wait a minute," An Ge suddenly said.
"What, trying to beg for mercy?"
"No, that's not it. I just wanted to ask, has the god behind you not contacted you for a long time?"
"You talk too much nonsense."
"It seems so." If they made contact, the other party wouldn't be unaware of her identity. It wasn't that Ange was arrogant, but as a chosen one who could fight Rhodes, her name would at least be on the radar of the evil gods.
