It is said that after the death of the Demon Realm's progenitor, the divine realm stole the Demon Realm's achievements in order to make the world revere the divine realm even more.
If he were to reveal the truth now and force the Demon Ancestor to intervene, it would only bolster the Demon Realm's prestige and bring no benefit to the God Realm. In that case, the God Realm's situation would become even more unfavorable.
Lan Zhou sneered, "What's the use of you begging him? If he could suppress the turbid energy, he would have done it long ago. The God Realm is full of people who only care about fame and fortune."
"Since you gods dare not tell the truth, I will tell you the truth. Thirty thousand years ago, a turbid energy erupted, and anyone who was tainted by it would turn against their own family and kill each other."
"Our demon race's Dragon Emperor, together with the God Lord Cang Jun of the God Realm and the Demon Ancestor Yan Yue, tried to find a way to solve the problem of the turbid energy. They used their power to gather the turbid energy together. In order to prevent the turbid energy from spreading further, the Demon Ancestor finally dug out her heart to seal the turbid energy."
"How do you know these things?" Du Ban frowned.
"Our demon race all have inherited memories. Even if we die, we can retain a part of our memories, let alone the Dragon Emperor, the strongest of my demon race." Lan Zhou sneered.
"My ancestor, the Dragon Emperor, did not die in the great battle against the turbid qi because he witnessed Cang Jun's sneak attack on the Demon Realm's progenitor. Instead, he died at the hands of the gods."
"With the help of Cang Jun, your divine race caused the Dragon Emperor to die and his soul to vanish. However, you did not know that the Dragon Emperor had already transmitted the events of that time back to the demon race in the form of inherited memories, which were then sealed in the demon race's stone statue."
"When I succeeded as the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, the Dragon Emperor's memories from ten thousand years ago appeared in my mind."
"Your divine race and Cang Jun were afraid that things would be exposed one day, so when Cang Jun became the Heavenly Dao, you secretly used a secret method to strip our demon race of the Dragon Emperor bloodline."
"This will prevent our demon race from having any more divine beasts born, so that your divine race can rest easy, even if our demon race discovers some clues about the death of the Dragon Emperor."
"Without the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor, our mixed bloodlines mean we can never break through to the level of God-Emperor. The demon race will not produce any strong individuals and will not pose any threat to your divine race."
"Therefore, the gods have no way to deal with the turbid energy. The turbid energy is the most powerful force in the world. Instead of begging the useless Du Ban, you should come and beg me. As long as you submit to me and serve me, you will be able to achieve your goal."
"I can spare your lives, but if you remain obstinate, don't blame me for showing no mercy."
Those people wavered upon hearing Lan Zhou's words.
"He's just using you. Their demon race doesn't even have a God-Emperor level expert, and God-King level experts are even rarer. They think they can contend with the God Realm with these ethereal and turbid energies? That's wishful thinking!"
"I have already sent a message to the divine realm. It won't be long before the divine kings and generals of the divine realm will crush the demon race," Du Ban said. "Moreover, the demon race releasing turbid energy is an act that cannot be tolerated by the laws of heaven."
"The turbid air will cause great suffering to all living beings in the world. If you stand with him, you will be aiding and abetting evil. You will not be able to protect yourselves under the influence of the turbid air."
The feud between the demon race and the divine realm runs deep, and Lan Zhou will absolutely not let him go. He must stall for time and wait for the arrival of the divine lord.
Lan Zhou clapped his hands, and a large group of demon guards surrounded him. Besides the demons, there were also people who had ascended from various continents.
"You have been recruiting those who have ascended to immortality and building your own ascended forces. You have long harbored the ambition to rebel against the divine realm." Du Ban's tone was heavy. The divine race had underestimated Lan Zhou's ambition and schemes.
“The people and forces that you gods look down upon can become a considerable force when they come together.” Lan Zhou stared at Du Ban. “I not only want to win over the ascended forces, but I also want to win over the many forces on the continent.”
"To continuously strengthen our demon race, overthrow the divine realm, seek justice for the oppression and injustice suffered by the demon race, and avenge our demon race's Dragon Emperor!"
"Since it's about revenge, let's start with you, the God-King of the Divine Realm." Turbid energy appeared in Lan Zhou's hand, transforming into black snakes, which coiled around him in countless strands.
"Your strength has actually reached the level of a God-Emperor. Your demon race has long lost the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor. How could you break through to the God-Emperor level? No! It was those turbid energy forces that forcibly increased your strength."
"How can you control the turbid air!" Du Ban dodged the black snake, but before he knew it, the black snake had wrapped around his neck, and his breath was being slowly taken away from him.
Du Ban, his face turning ashen, reached out towards Ruan Xiyan, "Demon Ancestor, are you really going to let the demon race run rampant like this? Aren't you afraid that they will eventually come after your demon realm?"
"Among everyone present, only you are capable of resolving the turbidity, and you certainly don't want the demon race to dominate."
Faced with Du Ban's plea for help, Ruan Xiyan remained unmoved. "You think you can use me as a pawn to help you escape? You've got the wrong idea. Don't forget, I also despise your divine race."
"You should be grateful that I didn't add fuel to the fire, yet you still dared to dream that I would save you, how laughable!" Ruan Xiyan stood there with her arms crossed.
The surrounding turbid air did not dare to harm her in the slightest, and Jun Yu was also unaffected by the purifying jade pendant made by Ruan Xiyan herself.
"Even on the verge of death, he still doesn't forget to sow discord. What a good dog of the gods!" Lan Zhou manipulated the turbid air with his fingers, causing it to flow into Du Ban's mouth and nose.
Du Ban roared in agony, his soul annihilated by the turbid air, his entire pupil turning black.
"burst!"
A blinding light emanated from Du Ban's body, and Du Ban instantly turned into ashes.
"The Half-God King... is dead?!" The people looked surprised, and then their hearts wavered even more.
If they want to survive today, they have no choice but to submit to the Demon Emperor and the Demon Race.
Lan Zhou's gaze fell on Ruan Xiyan, the only person present who posed a threat to him.
He forcibly enhanced his power with turbid energy and used an ancient secret technique he obtained by accident to connect himself to the boundary marker, becoming a container for turbid energy.
Although he would have to endure excruciating pain and even have his lifespan affected, he would be able to control the power of turbid energy and lead the demon race to become stronger.
He used the Demon Emperor's wedding to gather many forces on the continent, intending to force them to fight against the God Realm alongside him. He wanted to ensure that the demon race would no longer have to be subservient to others or be oppressed.
His plan was flawless, except that he never expected the progenitor of the demon realm to return unexpectedly.
But it doesn't matter. He might be able to win over the Demon Realm and fight against the God Realm together. After all, the Demon Realm didn't have an easy time during the ten thousand years that the Demon Ancestor disappeared, and it was suppressed by the God Realm many times.
"Miss Ruan, it's nice to see you again. I never imagined that after our parting, you would become the progenitor of the Demon Realm." Lan Zhou's voice was gentle.
"I never expected that the Demon Emperor would not only be ambitious but also audacious, actually using himself as a vessel for turbid energy and even linking his life to the Demon Clan's boundary marker."
