Chapter 366: The Final Meeting
The meeting place is on the 999th floor of the Demon Palace.
This is the highest point of the Demon Palace.
There are transmission channels between different levels of the Demon Palace, so there is no need to worry about the area of the Demon Palace. It will only take an hour to travel.
After the light and shadow flashed, what appeared before Xia Lin's eyes was a spacious open-air corridor.
The corridor in front leads directly to the Demon Emperor's residence, with terracotta warriors guarding on both sides.
When they saw Xia Lin and Donald, these strange things that looked like gold and jade but were definitely not human, their eyes flashed scarlet light, and they all turned their heads to look at the two of them.
A faint aura of power was exuded, and the strength was almost the same as that of those golden-armored warriors when Xia Lin met the King of Kings in the past.
In the past, Xia Lin was weak and could not sense the power of these six-pillar guards.
The current situation is completely different from the past, which made Xia Lin gasp.
"Not under the fault..."
"Whether it is this group of puppets or the warriors around the King of Kings, their individual strength is not inferior to mistakes."
That is the level between level 11 and level 12.
After examining it for a moment, the puppet slowly turned its head and became motionless again.
Donald then took Xia Lin and walked deeper into the corridor.
Moreover, he had faintly heard Xia Lin's mumbling before, and he spoke slowly.
"The golden armored guards of the King of Kings are called Jinwu Guards. This is not the sharpest knife in the hands of the King of Kings. The Blood God Guards are..."
"As for the numbers and strength, don't think too much about it, and don't ask too many questions."
"For the Six Pillars, the eleventh and twelfth levels are meaningless..."
"For example, these soul puppets were created by the Demon Emperor using the Soul Creation Technique. Their strength is as you can see. You can have as many as you want. It's even easier than making that damn Dongfeng figurine you made!"
Mass production of pseudo-level twelve...
But this is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of the Six Pillars.
He walked quickly into the mansion.
From the outside, the mansion is divided into three floors, like a gorgeous villa. The interior uses space technology to greatly expand the area of the place.
It’s just that the architectural and decorative styles of each part are quite fragmented.
But Donald soon explained the source of this sense of disconnection.
"The Demon Emperor is a soul master and has thirteen soul pets."
"The first soul is a soul beast. It depends on your life and always stays with you."
"The other twelve souls are all stationed in different places, but they still come back from time to time to accompany you. They also have their rooms and positions here."
Passing through a high-tech door, Xia Lin stopped and looked up at the dog head statue hanging on the door.
The statue was half flesh and half metal. As if it sensed Xia Lin's gaze, it lowered its head slightly and looked at Xia Lin.
"Woof! What are you looking at!?"
Xia Lin quickly looked away.
This is the room of the Demon Emperor's second soul, the One-Eyed Lord of Greed.
Continue forward and the star-studded gate comes into view.
The dragon head on the door is lifelike. Besides looking majestic and ferocious, it also gives people a sense of honesty and simplicity.
"Star Lord, Star's room."
Without Donald's introduction, Xia Lin recognized the owner of the room.
The third soul of the Demon Emperor, Star Lord, Star.
In the current main universe, the three Demon Emperor soul pets, Greedy Lord, Star Lord, and Dream Lord, are the most famous. Xia Lin has seen the incarnations of Dream Lord and Greedy Lord with his own eyes. Although he has never seen Star Lord, he has learned of Star Lord's name from chatting with other people.
Xia Lin couldn't recognize the room ahead.
The door of this room is illusory and ever-changing, and there is no obvious marking on the door.
Donald didn't want to explain to Xia Lin, but suddenly there was a sound of a door opening.
However, the door of the fifth room was open, and a black Nether Cat walked slowly towards him with cat steps, then jumped up and jumped onto Xia Lin's shoulder.
The intimate gesture made Xia Lin tense up and he quickly greeted her.
"Greetings, Master Dream."
"Don't be nervous... I'm here so I can give you a ride."
Dream Master, the real body is here! Then again, this place might also be where Dream Master, Greed Master, Star Master and the like appear most often.
Before Xia Lin could move his legs again, the dream master Victor slowly spoke.
"The fourth soul, faceless."
"He is ever-changing and can imitate anything... To some extent, he should be considered the ancestor of your Uncertain Shadow... The inspiration for the creation of Uncertain Shadow also came from Wumian."
"And the strength of Wumian..."
As he said this, the dream master stuck out his tongue and licked his cat's paw.
"Although I don't want to admit it, He is probably the strongest among us."
Xia Lin was stunned and looked at Victor.
The three most famous masters of Menglan Star are not the strongest. The fourth soul, Wumian, is the strongest.
Xia Lin didn't understand this logic, but he didn't dare to ask further.
Just keep moving forward, past the fifth room, which belongs to the dream owner, and arrive at the sixth room.
The door of the room was pitch black, but as Xia Lin approached, the door suddenly moved, startling Xia Lin.
After a closer look, I realized that the door was made up of countless ants the size of my little finger. They were so densely packed that Xia Lin's trypophobia was triggered...
Instead, Donald said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you, these are Sister Luo Luo's offspring."
The sixth soul of the Demon Emperor, the mother of the insect swarm, Lolo.
In fact, there are three masters of Menglan Star in the main universe, and it is not said that he is the most powerful pet of the Demon Emperor.
The reason lies not with the fourth soul, Wumian, but with the sixth soul, Lolo.
The mother of the swarm, the master of all armies among the Zerg! As long as it is linked to the four words "master of all armies", the strength is bound to be beyond the scope - this is an inevitable problem caused by the professional mechanism.
Walk past the sixth room and come to the seventh room.
The door was ordinary, but there was a crystal ball shining on it.
"The seventh soul, the atom."
Victor gave a brief introduction and then sighed.
"The boss's original seventh soul had died in the old universe. After the new universe was formed, the rules were overturned and the old ones were no longer there. There was no way to find the first soul. He could only rebuild something with similar properties to the first soul as a consolation and named it Atom."
Xia Lin nodded in agreement and asked again, "Is there anything that Liuzhu can't do?"
Victor slapped Xia Lin on the face with his paw.
"Bullshit! Who has six omnipotent beings?!"
"Especially when it comes to the old universe... Too much was lost there, and there are too many regrets..."
"You don't understand now... When you reach a higher level and become stronger, you will know that every position has its own difficulties. What's even more illogical is that the difficulties will not be reduced as your strength increases, but will become stronger as your strength increases."
Victor sighed, and Donald also sighed heavily, but Xia Lin didn't understand and didn't dare to ask more. He just kept walking and came to the door of the eighth room.
The eight-headed giant snake on the door made a strange "hissing" sound, as if it was threatening or intimidating, but it shrank its neck when Victor glared at it.
"The eighth soul, Yaki Ibira."
"He's also the most hopeless one!"
The projection of Ibira on the door immediately made chaotic sounds.
"You bully me again. I will tell the boss that you bully me again!"
Victor: "Get lost!"
He flew up and used a combination of cat punches to directly knock Ibira's projection into the wall. Xia Lin was stunned by this scene.
On the contrary, Donald on the side said with a smile: "Brother Ibira is a very good person. He may look a little fierce, but he is not a bad person at heart."
Oh, the good guy card...
You are both a good guy and a punching bag. Brother, your life is not easy.
Continue forward to the ninth room.
The door was the color of flesh and blood, and it kept squirming, as if it was rapidly splitting and reorganizing.
Above the door, the shadow of an eyeless lizard head came into Xia Lin's sight, allowing Xia Lin to easily recognize the identity of the owner of this room.
"The King of Baru."
Baru monster, a member of the demon clan.
But compared to normal demons, the intelligence of this race is generally low.
It is not appropriate to call them demons, they should be called monsters!
The reason why they were included in the ranks of the Demon Palace Demon Clan was because the ancestor of the Baru Clan was the ninth soul of the Demon Emperor! Also, because the Baru monsters were good at asexual reproduction, they could also easily merge.
So in fact, it can be said that all the Baru monsters are the ninth soul of the Demon Emperor! He walked to the door of the tenth room.
The door is arched with a rat head protruding on it, and the whole door looks like a large rat hole.
Victor said, "Heavenly Rat, the boss's tenth soul... He is not good at fighting, so he is not well-known, but he is the boss's best helper in research."
According to rumors from outside, the Demon Emperor possesses certain scholarly qualities.
His research on soul, skills, professions and talents is the most profound.
And at this moment, it seems that this Tenth Soul Sky Secret Rat is probably the Demon Emperor's research assistant.
After nodding in understanding, Xia Lin raised his leg and continued to move forward, but suddenly a light cough sounded from an unknown place.
This made Victor laugh.
"The boss has finished his work and is waiting for you... As for the remaining three souls, I will introduce them to you when I have the chance in the future."
Just as he said this, a staircase suddenly appeared in front of Xia Lin, turning from virtual to real.
Victor jumped off Xia Lin's shoulders, and Donald also stopped moving forward.
The two men's meaning was very clear: they would no longer follow in the next meeting.
Xia Lin turned around and saluted the dreamer, then nodded to Donald, then took a deep breath and went up the stairs.
The view is narrow at first, but as you officially climb the stairs, the view becomes wider.
What came into view was a laboratory of considerable size, but with dim lighting and a faint smell of blood.
In front of the test bench in the center of the laboratory.
The thin man in a black robe gently wiped the blood off his hands and slowly turned his head to look at Xia Lin.
"We meet again."
It’s the Demon Emperor himself!
…
An invisible aura came towards him, making Xia Lin feel pressured.
It’s not that the Demon Emperor did it on purpose, but the environment here, the inexplicable smell of blood, the Demon Emperor’s reputation and that expressionless face, combined together, formed a psychological suggestion.
Xia Lin was in a daze for a moment before he bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, sir."
The Demon Emperor nodded slightly: "Yes."
"sit."
Xia Lin looked around, found a relatively clean chair and sat down. He then looked up at Demon Emperor Wen Yu, but didn't know how to start the conversation.
I just feel really stressed...
Well lived up to its reputation!
Unlike the King of Kings, the Demon Emperor has a cold and indifferent temperament!
This is not insult or slander, it is just a fair comment.
The Demon Emperor has a cold temperament.
The little warmth he has is only given to the people closest to him, which makes him extremely difficult to get along with.
In fact, it is not surprising at all that Donald was suppressed unintentionally.
Without talking about the closeness and other issues, just talking about the personality of the Demon Emperor, it is impossible for him to care more about Donald than the Heavenly Dao Creator cares about Wuxin! The Demon Emperor is too lazy to train any juniors or descendants of old friends.
At the moment, Xia Lin even speculated that the Demon Emperor's investment in Donald was most likely not done by the Demon Emperor himself, but was something done by the Dream Lord and the Greed Lord in the name of the Demon Emperor.
——They want to establish a character for the Demon Emperor.
"You're wrong, it was my idea."
The Demon Emperor spoke first, but his words surprised Xia Lin.
Xia Lin met those cold eyes, and saw the Demon Emperor nod and speak again.
"Donald has good qualifications, and is also a good match for my revised version of the life and death battle. We are old friends, but we have been separated by tens of thousands of generations, so the relationship is too weak."
"But as an experimental material, he is not bad, that's all."
Xia Lin's face twitched.
This Sixth Pillar is probably even colder and more terrifying than what is rumored by the outside world.
"Back to your question."
The Demon Emperor waved his hand and a sofa and coffee table appeared out of thin air.
The drink naturally appeared in front of him and Xia Lin. When he saw Xia Lin holding the cup, the Demon Emperor spoke again.
"The reason I agreed to meet you is because you are better experimental material than Donald."
The Jhin zone system was created by Liu Zhu.
It is the Six Pillars that override the Ash Zone system, not the other way around.
Therefore, the Demon Emperor is fully qualified to ignore the Ashes Zone system, and whether or not he meets Xia Lin is entirely up to the Demon Emperor's own wishes.
And at this moment, He chose to meet, regardless of goodwill or malice, or any other considerations.
It’s just that He suddenly became interested.
Xia Lin was speechless and could only nod silently.
What can he say?
Dare not say anything.
The Demon Emperor is a pure egoist, a fact that the King of Kings had already mentioned before.
Xia Lin had actually anticipated this meeting...
He couldn't hold onto the Demon Emperor's thigh, because the Demon Emperor didn't allow others to hold onto his leg.
The so-called Demon Emperor's forces are actually led by the three masters of Menglan Star. The Demon Emperor is a person who doesn't care about external affairs from the bottom of his heart.
He was too lazy to say a word or make even a little eye contact with those of lower status or irrelevant people.
He was even too lazy to act or pretend to be a caring superior or a normal person.
But soon, Xia Lin smiled.
"It doesn't matter. Experimental materials are experimental materials. As long as the results are good, I agree."
Hearing this, the corners of the Demon Emperor's mouth twitched slightly, as if he was laughing: "This sentence suits my taste."
Xia Lin: "But the premise is that the pros and cons are clear, and there are no hidden tricks or conspiracies."
Xia Lin also realized that there was no point in pretending to be nice to the Demon Emperor.
The best way to communicate is to speak directly.
This person would not give up his benefits just because Xia Lin flatters him, and naturally would not get angry because of Xia Lin's straightforwardness.
As expected, this sentence did not anger the Demon Emperor, but only made him nod.
"Of course."
Keeping his promises is one of the few remaining virtues of the Demon Emperor.
…
The premise is agreed upon and the foundation is laid.
The Demon Emperor finally spoke more.
"I got interested because of what happened to you in your last Ember zone. Mistake, right?"
Xia Lin nodded: "Yes, it's wrong. This is also the twelfth-level path researched by Qing Jue."
At the final stage of the Eternal Night Ashes Zone, people from the Heavenly Dao Creator and Super Star came, but the Demon Emperor's people did not show up.
The Demon Emperor did not have first-hand intelligence, but with the power of the Six Pillars, it was obviously not surprising that he knew everything that happened in the Cinders.
The Demon Emperor continued, "I am not familiar with immortals, nor do I know martial arts, but my biggest enemies are immortals, and my allies are also martial artists. I have also done a lot of research on these two areas, at least more than you."
"But the fact that a bug occurs after the fusion of immortals and martial arts is indeed quite new to me. This is where my interest comes from."
“Look beyond the phenomenon and focus on the essence.”
"Two completely conflicting systems can create cosmic bugs. This is obviously not limited to the immortal way and martial arts, but can also be extended to other systems."
"I really want to know what kind of bugs these two completely conflicting systems of neither immortal nor martial arts can create. Will it be the second error? Or will the collision produce other more interesting phenomena, things, or people?"
The six pillars are not omniscient and omnipotent.
Liuzhu is also very curious about unknown things.
It can even be said that what they pursue is the unknown! Because the unknown can break the current deadlock!
"Just when I had this idea, I received a letter from Jhin saying that you wanted to pursue a dual career."
Having said that, a smile finally appeared on the Demon Emperor's face.
That is a smile of expectation, that is curiosity about the unknown.
That is one of the few joys in a long life.
After saying this, the Demon Emperor leaned forward and looked at Xia Lin.
"The Uncertain Shadow was created by me, you know that."
"And the shadow of uncertainty represents chaos and the unknown... This profession itself has strong characteristics and symbolic meanings."
"And its opposite is certainty and the known!"
"Now, I want to help you design a profession with this concept, to help you embark on the path of dual professions. When you push two completely opposite systems to the top of level 11, you will face the same problem that Qing Jue faced in the past."
"But unlike him, you have references, previous experience, and the skill of Reverse Source Bridge. Combining the two, this is your path to level 12. But what consequences will this have, and whether you can advance to level 12 with this, I don't know, and I can't give an answer right now."
"Is my plan clear enough?"
Certainly clear enough.
To put it bluntly, what the Demon Emperor wanted was to use Xia Lin as a carrier to create a second Qing Jue who was neither immortal nor martial.
Then, see what unexpected and interesting things happen.
The idea is very clear, and considering the ability of the Demon Emperor, the method must not be difficult.
But the problem is that the Demon Emperor himself doesn't know what consequences this operation will bring - and Xia Lin needs to bear this consequence himself! The good thing is that Liu Zhu personally took action and tailored a dual profession for Xia Lin!
The downside is that the outcome is unclear.
In the eyes of the Demon Emperor, Xia Lin is just a guinea pig for drug testing.
"If you don't want to, you can leave."
Or, agree to this plan.
Or, get out of here and go discuss compensation with Jhin District.
The Demon Emperor does things in such a simple and direct way.
Xia Lin thought for a moment and suddenly changed the subject.
"There must be no problem with the plan in general. I believe you."
It's nonsense to believe you.
Among the six pillars, only the King of Kings can be trusted.
Saying this now is just laying the groundwork.
After saying this, Xia Lin sighed softly.
"The only problem is that this process is very long. I'm worried that I won't be able to reach level 12..."
"Let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about the last disciple trained by the Heavenly Dao Creator: Wuxin."
"I will probably be targeted by this person in the sequence battle. Donald showed me Wuxin's strength. He is a pure second-generation Six Pillars. He is so powerful that he doesn't even need to act... If I can't even pass this level, your plan will naturally fall apart."
In one sentence: I am your experimental subject, shouldn't you also help me when the time is right? For example, give me some methods and confidence to fight against Wuxin? After saying this, Xia Lin looked at the Demon Emperor again, only to find that the Demon Emperor was a little dazed.
Soon, He took a breath and asked, "Who is Wuxin?"
Xia Lin: ...
"That's all right."
Suddenly, a squeaking sound was heard in the void.
The Demon Emperor listened attentively and soon understood.
"Oh, oh, oh, the last disciple of the Heavenly Dao Creator... It seems that he is also related to the old thief's usurpation plan."
"In this case, it is necessary to intervene."
The Demon Emperor fell into thought.
Xia Lin waited quietly.
Soon, the Demon Emperor raised his head and looked at Xia Lin again.
"Originally, your case is not worthy of my attention... There are many experimental samples and many uncertain shadows. One more of you is not too much and one less is not too little."
"Your arrival was just a coincidence of timing. It was a matter of convenience."
The Demon Emperor's true emotions were revealed, it was like he was not even acting.
"But Wuxin seems to be a bit interesting... Well, we can add some more information to this representative of the confirmed and known professions to create a system restraint relationship..."
Muttering this, the Demon Emperor fell into deep thought again.
Xia Lin waited for a long time but the Demon Emperor did not come back to his senses. Suddenly, a voice sounded from the void, vaguely a young boy's voice.
"You step back first and go find Donald."
"Once the Demon Emperor has sorted out his thoughts, he will summon you again."
Xia Lin realized that the person who spoke was most likely the Demon Emperor's tenth soul, the Heavenly Secret Rat.
He stood up, bowed, and politely left.
