Facing the empty coffin, Wang Lu was silent for a long time and sighed helplessly.
"Sure enough, it's a lie."
Before entering the mountain of corpses, Wang Lu began to doubt the identity of the last Demon King.
No matter how many amazing achievements he had made during his reign, there were two undeniable problems. First, the Eternal Tree of the Demon Realm collapsed during his tenure. Second, in the face of desperation, he led hundreds of millions of demons to make a choice that went against common sense.
No matter how many eulogies there were for such a leader, it was worth questioning … After all, this kind of thing was not uncommon for Wang Lu.
In Wang Lu's experience, he had seen too many similar situations. On the one hand, he fooled the people into dedicating everything for the great goal, but on the other hand, he quietly prepared a way out. Among the so-called leaders, such goods could be said to emerge endlessly. The demon world was vast, so it was not unusual for it to occasionally produce one. It was a pity that according to the portrait, this leader was handsome even by human standards. He did not have a head, which was more in line with his own impression …
As for why he coincidentally met such a person among the last Demon Kings? It was very simple. Because once such a person appeared on the throne of the Demon Realm, he was basically destined to be the last Demon King.
However, looking at the empty coffin, Wang Lu was still a little uneasy.
What happened two thousand years ago? Is it really that simple? Because the Demon King did not rule well, the Eternal Tree was destroyed, and the demons were led astray and fell into a long dream … Is that it?
Unfortunately, no matter how many questions there were now, there was no way to verify it. The coffin was empty, and there were no valuable clues left. As for the eulogies on the surrounding walls, there was basically no reading value. A leader who could lead the most valiant and warlike race to their dreams naturally wouldn't leave any black marks in the history books for himself. Leaving a name in the history book was a common problem of that kind of person.
"So next … Are you going to wake up?"
The mystery that he wanted to solve the most could not be solved, so Wang Lu could only settle for the next best thing and began to perform the secondary task- Awaken the Millennium Dream and solve the problem of the Blacktide.
In the opening ceremony of the new demon world lightning ball league, Wang Lu had already begun to prepare for this. Now, it was almost imperative to carry it out.
But Wang Lu couldn't make up his mind to do it immediately.
What he had seen and heard in the new demon world for half a month was unforgettable to him. The dreamland built by the demon race for two thousand years was simply a miracle. If that magnificent and brilliant civilization was destroyed like this, Wang Lu would really feel sad.
He actually quite liked watching lightning balls.
Moreover, although the essence of the new Demon World was just a dream, no one could deny that this dream contained great power. For Wang Lu and the others, it was no different from being in the real world! The delicacies he enjoyed in his dream were real. His mustard seed bag still contained a few bowls of the special snacks of the new Devil Realm. They had already materialized!
Similarly, the tens of thousands of powerful people in the new Demon World were not just an illusion. Overall, they were powerful enough to keep pace with the current Nine Regions. If they were all lost because of the Dreamland Resuscitation … it would be too much of a pity.
Just by waking up two demon kings, a number of demon lords, and countless demon generals in the new Demon World … Wang Lu felt that this was not something worth boasting about.
What's more, the prop that he used to wake up was the demon jade in his hand — the essence of the five blood spirit crown, which was given to him by the black fog demon in the group of immortal tombs. Could it be that the reason why he gave the demon jade to him was because he hoped that he would smash the new Demon World and completely bury the last remaining fire of civilization in the demon world?
There should be a more appropriate solution to this matter.
However, if he let go of the new Demon World because of a moment of kindness, then when the expansion of the black tide was finally uncontrollable, the new Demon World would also be destroyed, and at the same time, even the Nine Regions would be affected. At that time, his kindness would be a shame that could not be washed away in his life.
"I say, last Demon King, if you were to make the decision on this matter, what would you do?"
In the Demon King's tomb, Wang Lu softly asked. At the same time, his eyes were locked on the mural on the wall.
"If it were you, you would not hesitate to activate the demon jade. Because this is rational enough and safe enough. Although this choice is cruel, it is a choice that has no other choice … "
As Wang Lu spoke, his voice became softer and softer, and at the same time, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
"If it were you, you would definitely say that. In any case, you can always find an excuse that there is no other choice. And I believe that there are many people in this world who agree with this kind of value. Even Qiong Hua is no exception."
"Unfortunately, the person who came here is me, and how could I conspire with people like you? When there is a dilemma, then find a new way, such as now … "
As Wang Lu said that, he walked to the wall and pressed his palm on a piece of writing. Then, he inwardly marveled that the martyrs finally left something useful.
"Now, I can choose to wish them a sweet dream."
—
After walking out of the mountain of corpses, facing the blood cloud of the demon world, Wang Lu took a long breath.
The choice made in the tomb was not easy.
Choosing to destroy everything was the simplest, but it was also the most disdainful thing for Wang Lu. Therefore … he chose a more difficult path. Wang Lu could not allow the black tide in the new demon world to continue to expand and eventually become a natural disaster that threatened the Nine Regions. Therefore, his next job was to find a way to eliminate this black tide.
That was easier said than done.
The new demon world was full of geniuses. For two thousand years, no one could eliminate the black tide. On the contrary, because of the expansion of the new demon world, the power of the black tide continued to grow. Wang Lu alone, in the face of the power of the whole world, was simply not worth mentioning.
Even with the help of the demon jade, Wang Lu could not directly fight against the black tide — even if the Eternal Tree was still there, and the demon jade still had the magical effect of controlling all things in the demon world, it was impossible to eliminate the evil thoughts in the hearts of the hundreds of millions of creatures in the demon world with just one jade. If the demon jade was so easy to use, the demon race would have already exterminated the human race during the first great war of immortals and demons.
However, this was not an unsolvable problem. In the process of slowly walking out of the mountain of corpses in the tomb, Wang Lu had already built a general framework of the plan. In his view, things were still promising.
The cause of the black tide was the collection of negative emotions that accumulated unconsciously after the creatures of the new demon world were forcibly harmonized. For two thousand years, the people of the new demon world had never discovered that the world they lived in had castrated many things in their nature. Without realizing this, naturally, there was no way to solve the problem of the black tide.
This was the case of the onlooker being blinded.
Otherwise, with the current civilization accumulation of the new demon world, with its many strong people, could it really not solve the problem of the black tide? The biggest problem was that they were not aware of the existence of the problem!
According to this line of reasoning, it seemed that it would be very easy for Wang Lu to solve the problem. As long as the residents of the new demon world were aware of the problem, it seemed that the problem would be easily solved … But after a little thought, he knew that it was a dead end.
If the residents of the new demon world suddenly learned that they lived in a world that suppressed their instincts … then it was easy for them to think that the essence of this world might be a dream. Then they would suddenly wake up and the dream would shatter.
Since Wang Lu did not want to wake them up, he could not use such a straightforward way.
So he planned to do it more carefully and transform the setting of the new demon world from the perspective of outsiders. The emergence of the black tide, from another perspective, could also be understood as a problem of the survival of a country without external aggression. The demon race was a group of natural masochists. If they were not burned black and blue by the flames of war, their thoughts would not be clear. The environment of the new demon world was too peaceful, so it was not suitable for survival at all … In that case, he would create a little turbulence in the new demon world and let them enjoy themselves.
Of course, with Wang Lu's current cultivation, it was still impossible for him to directly interfere with the dream, especially a world that was very close to the real world. It was really difficult for Wang Lu to intervene.
But he had the demon jade.
Thinking of this, Wang Lu only felt that the demon jade in his hand released an unprecedented amazing heat, as if it was also responding to him, pointing out the correct path.
"Very good. Next, let us be the saviors of the world together."
Then, he held the demon jade in his left hand and spread out a scroll in his right hand. The scroll was drawn by Lu Li, the sixth elder of the Heavenly Sword Hall. It could copy most of the talismans, manuals, and pictures in an instant, and even the effects of them could be inherited. Wang Lu used this scroll to make a copy of a painting in the Demon King's mausoleum and reproduced it in front of him.
That painting depicted the legendary secret technique used by the Demon King two thousand years ago, the Dream Building Technique.
Due to the time limit, it was impossible for Wang Lu to master this secret method inherited from the royal family of the demon world in a short period of time. However, he also didn't need to master it. It was enough for him to know how to influence the new demon world, this behemoth.
And this part of the content was recorded in great detail on the murals.
The demon race two thousand years ago had a very high degree of trust in the Demon King at that time. The new demon world they built operated independently and was not affected by external forces, but the Demon King was given special treatment, giving him the highest management authority. As long as he operated according to the method recorded on the murals, he could directly influence the fundamental laws of the new demon world.
In simple terms, as long as the Demon King thought about it, he could double the gravity of the new demon world, and could dry up the spiritual energy of the new demon world … And these drastic changes that changed the world were actually operated by hundreds of millions of Sleepers, the Demon King himself did not even need to do anything.
Wang Lu was not the Demon King two thousand years ago, but with the demon jade in his hand, he could make a temporary cameo. Of course, it was impossible for Wang Lu to manipulate all the laws of the new demon world as freely and meticulously as the demon king himself. However, he only needed a slight adjustment.
He wanted to release a spell throughout the new demon world. A spell that made people unable to fall into a deep sleep to escape from reality, and the time to cast the spell was when the wind of destruction came.
He wanted the residents of the new demon world to face the black tide!
