"And that calling will intensify as one's cultivation level increases, eventually even altering one's thoughts and forcibly driving them towards a certain direction!"
"So you believe that there is a superior being standing above the demons?"
"You guessed right!"
"As everyone knows, I come from the Desolate Ancient Domain, a region teeming with myriad races, some of which used similar methods to raise 'slave races.'"
[You start making up nonsense: "They use an ancestral blood core to control those slave races. This is a sixth-realm technique. Once the ancestral blood core malfunctions, the corresponding slave races will gradually develop problems as well."]
"Of course, it's mainly those in the fifth realm who have reached the 'Great Completion' stage of the slave race who will encounter trouble. Those in the fourth realm and below are not worthy, and even some extremely weak fifth realm individuals are not worthy, because they cannot resonate with the 'Ancestral Blood Core' and connect with it in life and death!"
[Wang Zhizun: "..."]
[“I suspect that the Feathered Demon King’s body gradually collapsed because of a problem with the ‘Ancestral Blood Core’ controlled by the ‘Main Clan (Master’s Master)’ above the Demon Clan. For example, it might have exploded due to improper maintenance…”
"But this is only the beginning. In the future, besides the somewhat weak Thorn Demon King, another Barbarian Demon King may also face similar problems!"
"At that time, to prevent it from going berserk in its remaining life and choosing to fight the human race to the death, it's best to awaken the Human King in advance to prepare for defense. We can't wait until a large number of Supreme Beings are killed before we urgently awaken it!"
[When you get serious: "Trust me!"]
Wang Zhizun remained silent, then nodded.
While you may be somewhat absurd, you have never wronged humanity on fundamental matters.
[The help you've given them has been immense. They'd even risk awakening the true king or wasting their own fortune for you, especially since you're thinking of the human race, not having the king protect you during your vacation.]
[The place where the Feathered Demon King fell.]
Its carcass was preserved, retaining its rich protein and other nutrients, preventing further loss.
"Is it six times the weight of beef?"
The Demon King was soaking in a hastily dug blood pool, a personal hobby of his. He loved bathing in blood pools. In the Demon Land, there were twelve blood pools built specifically for him, each with a special name, such as the Sea of Ten Thousand Bloods and the Lake of Pure Demon Blood.
Yun Shou: "You look familiar... Oh~~"
He suddenly realized: "Oh, it was you!"
That savage demon, instantly killed by the Devouring Beast and swallowed whole as a snack! (Chapter 172)
He originally thought the savage demon mentioned in the simulator was just a pseudo-king-level extra, but he didn't expect it to actually be a true king!
"That's true. At least a peak fifth-realm Devouring Beast can instantly kill a fourth-realm beast. Only the Barbarian Demon King, who is also in the fifth realm, is qualified to make it take action personally."
"Yeah, I just made a move."
The Thorn Demon King gazed silently at the corpse of its junior demon king, a sense of melancholy washing over it. It turned to the burly man beside it and said, "Do you see? This is what you will have to do in the future. This shackle rooted in the very essence of my race will be broken by you!"
"You are the chosen one of the 'Egg of the Demon King,' Guts!"
The muscular man maintained a cold expression, remaining in human form. He clearly hadn't accepted the Demon Egg's transformation; the reason was unclear, but he was resisting the conversion into a demon.
[Additionally, it's worth mentioning that he is not a completely healthy person—his left arm has been replaced by some kind of metal prosthesis, and his body is covered with various scars and old marks.]
[Unless intentionally done, innate martial artists can slowly regenerate their bones and flesh, let alone leave a trace. This man named Gus is practically like an ordinary person without any supernatural power!]
Yun Shou: "..."
Two days later.
"Father Yun is punishing you!"
"Returning to one's true self!"
The Barbarian Demon King and the Thorn Demon King were sitting opposite each other, enjoying the blood offerings presented by their subordinates, some human and some demon.
Then, its vital energy suddenly surged outwards, causing the Thorn Demon King to instinctively protect Guts beside it. Fortunately, this time its vital energy was released normally without any impact; otherwise, even a peak second-realm cultivator wouldn't have survived.
[Similar symptoms to those of the Feathered Demon King, along with weakened vitality and soul, caused the Barbarian Demon King to cry out, "This is terrible!"]
[A few months ago, it was mocking the Feather Demon King, believing that the latter had ruined his body and caused his illness... Later, upon learning that it was the work of the "Creator," it became apprehensive.]
However, it felt it couldn't be its turn so quickly; in the past six months, it had only worked on one of the three demon kings of the Azure Domain, indicating that the chances of being chosen weren't that high.
But who knew that after the Feathered Demon King committed suicide, it would be next!
"Damn it (actually, he's already dead) Feathered Demon King!" The Barbarian Demon King transferred his anger to the already dead Feathered Demon King, and then sat down on the Thorn Demon King: "Damn Thorn Old Deng, why wasn't it you!?"
The Thorn Demon King remained silent, simply protecting the human Guts beside him.
It didn't want to fight the savage demon king who was now in despair and madness, nor could it win against him.
[It could even put up a fight against the Feathered Demon King, since the Feathered Demon King only has 20 times the defense, and its actual power and speed are not enhanced.]
[The Demon King may not be the smartest, but his strength is truly immense!]
[Especially since its "ability" provides a fourfold strength boost, it could slap its old body into the ground with a single blow!]
[However... the Barbarian Demon King was plunged into despair, and although the Thorn Demon King wasn't chosen, he was certainly not feeling any better.]
The "Creators" facing a crisis is certainly a good thing, meaning the demons may finally be free—but that will only happen when they are completely destroyed!
And they might not even be destroyed; they might survive.
[And during this period when the "creators" suffered, because of a small step in their operation...]
The demon race, which had been powerful in the Azure Domain for at least two hundred thousand years, was about to decline.
[The various pseudo-kings of the Demon Realm are still eagerly awaiting the challenge to become king, but only these two Demon Kings know that there is no hope.]
With both kings fallen, the demon race's current strength can only support the birth of one new king at most; even with the corpses of two demon kings, it won't be enough!
[Once the Demon King falls, or flees to the outer realms, even if a new king rises, the demon race's power will be greatly diminished, reduced to a position on par with the sea race!]
Yun Shou: "Actually, they are not as good as the sea creatures."
