Chapter 568 Let's Go Home

Although Li An was unconscious, no one dared to approach.The black flames continued to act on their own, connecting with the corpse of the Underworld Emperor, devouring his power, and using it as nourishment to replenish Li An.On the ground, the army of the Upper Nine Realms from the Underworld Kingdom reacted suddenly, roaring in revenge for the Crown Prince!A swarm of people rushed towards the unconscious Li An.But suddenly.A golden-red flame spread out, instantly burning the entire Upper Nine Realms army to death, and plunging the civil and military officials of the Underworld Kingdom's court into utter despair.The one who came was Zhuque.Actually, who it was didn't matter; what mattered was that there were still people among the human race.Therefore, the Crown Prince was destined to die today.The Underworld Kingdom was destined to lose.It was just that Zhuge Tianming had deliberately arranged for the stage to be given to Li An and the Underworld Emperor.What would this lead to?The power sequence was there, the life class was there, the Crown Prince of a nation was gone, and the future leader was there.Everything was ready. The mortal realm wasn't playing around; they genuinely intended to launch a counterattack against the celestial realm.The new world created by the Heavenly Thieves might just be their stronghold.But Cang Fu remained calm. His advice was the same: dealing with the mortal realm wasn't just a matter for the Underworld Kingdom.A mortal counterattack wouldn't be a matter of a day or two.The heavens fell silent.The mortal realm, however, erupted in activity.Everyone cheered for Li An's victory, except for one person.Shuang Xue.She looked at the man in her arms, his brows furrowed, seemingly having a nightmare, and recalled his hysterical, cannibalistic state in the heavens.She also thought of their first meeting years ago.A smiling, fair-skinned boy next door.Kind, upright, willing to sacrifice for the dreams of others.Today, years later, he had become a cannibalistic demon, shrouded in darkness.So, what was the price of becoming king? She wasn't sure if Li An could hear her, but she still whispered, "Let's go home." Li An seemed to hear her; his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and his body loosened.The beings on the ground looked up to see him off, and a vast aura converged upon him.Aura!The most crucial element of this war.And one of the reasons Zhuge Tianming set up this stage.An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.To defeat the Heavenly Realm, one must understand the source of its power, learn it all, and use it for oneself.Aura is the strongest weapon.Unfortunately, the human race doesn't know how to use it yet.The enemy has hidden this core technology far too deeply; only the direct descendants of the kingdom can learn it, and even then, only the older ones. Even the Underworld Emperor probably doesn't understand it yet.But there will always be a way.Zhuge Tianming took a step forward, arriving at the Demon Cave of the Ten Forbidden Lands, finally standing beside the aged Ying Zheng.The two exchanged a glance.They had been friends for many years, and everything was understood without words.Watching Zhuge Tianming walk deeper into the demon's lair, Ying Zheng nodded slightly."So many years, you've worked hard."Zhuge Tianming turned back and smiled, "You're too kind. It'll be your turn to work hard later."Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng remained silent for a few seconds, then nodded earnestly.Then, Zhuge Tianming walked straight ahead.Boundless demonic energy surrounded him, yet not a single wisp dared to touch him.He walked through a narrow, muddy passage and arrived before a dimly lit altar.Here lay a skeleton draped in black.Zhuge Tianming, with an air of familiarity, sat down beside the withered skeleton and chuckled, "In the early era, the valiant figures of the Five Ancestors of the War God Realm filled me with immense respect.""The great Demon Ancestor.""In that era, you were already an unparalleled powerhouse; ascending to heaven was a trivial matter for you.""But countless years have passed, and no one has ever heard of your ascension, nor has anyone known your whereabouts.""We only know that there is a forbidden land among the heavens, a man-eating demon's lair, but we never imagined that this demon's lair had anything to do with you.""The battle three thousand years ago was so fierce that the Heavenly Realm's gaze almost fell upon you.""An invincible figure of your generation, reduced to such a state.""Are you content not to ascend to heaven?"No one answered; only Zhuge Tianming's own echo reverberated in the empty demon's lair."Ascend to the heavens," Zhuge Tianming smiled, "but not as an ascendant, but as a challenger.""You've surely witnessed the actions of my clan's Li An.""Everything is ready, except for the final push.""That final push is the power to transform destiny into everything.""Li An's actions will inevitably alarm the Heavenly Realm.""The Demon Realm belongs to the Heng Clan of the Heavenly Realm.""It seems it's time for you to emerge from seclusion and rule the Demon Realm.""Declare war on the Human Realm on behalf of the Heng Clan.""We fear neither sacrifice nor betrayal.""Because we have no other choice, no way out."The meaning is clear.The method of destiny cannot be researched; it can only be stolen.The thief of destiny has already stolen once; the other side won't give him a second chance.Now it's the Demon Ancestor's turn.Emerge from seclusion, declaring war on the Human Realm on behalf of the Demon Realm.Kill."Kill countless people, kill until the Heng Clan completely trusts you, infiltrate the enemy ranks, and steal that world-changing core technology."Zhuge Tianming finished speaking.His steady footsteps echoed again in the silent demon cave.The old man was gone.Until Zhuge Tianming reached the end of the cave, the withered skeleton finally slightly raised its head, a faint light flickering in its empty eye sockets.Zhuge Tianming still had many people to meet.Those who had once believed there was no hope in this world.But during this process, he secretly sent a message to someone.Above the God Realm.Mu Tianyi looked at the message in his hand: "How's your consideration going?"He urged him every day, asked him every day.He was full of worry and didn't reply.Meanwhile.The Celestial Realm.Everything was as Zhuge Tianming had predicted.The King of the Underworld initiated the Supreme Conference.The spiritual bodies of the thirteen kings gathered in a virtual space, sitting on their respective thrones.But seated at the head of the table was not a king, but a faceless figure of light and shadow.At the meeting.The King of the Underworld demonstrated to the other twelve kings everything that had just happened in the Alliance Realm.Especially highlighting Li An's palm strike."The Heavenly Dao, the supreme power.""You all understand what this means, don't you?"The King of the Underworld's gaze swept over the other kings.One of them let out a contemptuous laugh: "Your Underworld ranches are gone, and you want to use us to help you take them back?"The King of the Underworld sneered: "Heng Shi, do you think this is just a matter for my family?""The transcendence techniques of the mortal realm don't say they can only be used once!"Heng Shi remained disdainful, saying, "That's because you yourselves are incompetent.""My ranches in the Demon Realm, I manage them very well, there's no possibility of a rebellion!"As if it were truly so.The King of the Underworld's words weren't just directed at Heng Shi; his gaze swept over the other kings.Those willing to expend the effort to manage ranches were ultimately a minority.Most of them, like the king of the Underworld, simply didn't bother to even glance at the crops and harvested them on time.Upon hearing this, those kings immediately felt uneasy.
