In the Forest of No Return, the leaves were luxuriant and the moonlight was bright. There was a faint fragrance of fruits in the beautiful wilderness. In late autumn, all the fruits in the forest had ripened. However, at this moment, a heavenly song was floating in the air — —
There are spirits in the mountains and demons on the ground.
Rain falls from the sky and springs on the ground.
Gather my race and enjoy the sun and the moon.
Kill all the alien races and protect the universe.
…
It was the voice of the Demon Emperor, Nüshi.
In the forest, the sound of footsteps was getting louder. Chen Yu changed into a soft armor and cloak. Under the protection of Han Yuan, Liao Yang, and the other cultivators, he slowly approached the high cliff in the distance. They did not fly as a sign of respect to the Demon Emperor, Nüshi. In the sky beside him, there were a few Demon King-level demons flying around at a moderate distance. They looked like guards and surveillance at the same time.
After a while, when Chen Yu and the rest stepped onto the high cliff, a piercingly cold wind suddenly blew. It was the sound wave attack of the Demon Emperor, Nüshi.
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
Han Yuan instantly moved in front of Chen Yu. He opened his sleeves and an invisible wall condensed in front of him, easily dispersing the attack of the Demon Emperor. He slowly cupped his fists and said in a deep voice, "The Sacred Martial Emperor of the Celestial Empire, Chen Yu, and the Sect Leader of the Tianjue Sect, Han Yuan, seek an audience with the Demon Emperor, Nüshi!"
On the cliff, a graceful figure floated out while hugging a pipa. It was the Demon Empress, Nüshi. She was as beautiful as ever. Under the moonlight, her graceful figure was extremely enchanting. The corners of her mouth curled up as she said with a faint smile, "The Demon Spirit Clan and the Heavenly Jue Empire have always minded our own business. I wonder what business you have with my Forest of No Return?"
Chen Yu said respectfully, "There is a strange phenomenon in the sky, and the universe has reversed. The war in the Mortal World is imminent. There will definitely be a war between the Celestial Empire and the Tianji Empire. The Celestial Empire has always respected the Demon Spirit Clan. Therefore, Chen Yu has come to the Forest of No Return to ask for an alliance with the Demon Spirit Clan to resist the atrocities of the Tianji Empire."
"Covenant?"
Demon Emperor Nüshi slowly descended, followed by a few Demon Kings behind her. She smiled and said, "I think Your Majesty Chen Yu must have misunderstood. Our Demon Spirit Race will not participate in any war. Even if we participate in a war, it will definitely be for the dignity of the Demon Spirit Race. I, Nüshi, will not allow my clansmen to die for others. Therefore, Your Majesty Chen Yu, please return.
"Your Majesty, please listen to me." Chen Yu continued to cup his fists and said unwillingly, "The Demon Spirit Race has always been seen as a thorn in the side by the three empires. Everyone has the right to kill them. However, there are many people who use the Demon Spirit Stone as a catalyst for cultivation. As long as Your Majesty helps me defeat the Tianji Empire, when I, Chen Yu, descend to the world, I will definitely pardon all the Demon Spirits in the world. I will allow the Demon Spirits to share the sun, moon, mountains, and rivers with humans. What do you think?"
Nüshi couldn't help but laugh. She laughed so hard that even the two towering peaks on her chest were jiggling up and down. People couldn't help but take a few more glances. She covered her mouth and laughed, "The Demon Spirits are born in the forest. This world has always been our home. Why do we need to rely on humans? I think Your Majesty Chen Yu must have misunderstood. The Demon Spirits don't want to rely on anyone. Moreover, you said that you will grant us a place to live under the Sovereign Descent, but I don't believe you! "
Chen Yu's face turned pale, "What do you mean?"
Nüshi stretched out her jade-like finger and lightly poked Chen Yu's chest armor, "You said it yourself. Humans cultivate using the Demon Spirit Stones as food. Then why would I cooperate with humans? Moreover, in Your Majesty Chen Yu's eyes, I can only see ambition and schemes. I can't see compassion and justice. "
"Compassion and justice?" Chen Yu gritted his teeth, "I, Chen Yu, have been pardoning the world since the day I ascended to the throne. For the sake of the people, I'm not willing to go to war. If my eyes are not compassion and justice, then who is the ruler of the world?"
"I've seen one person. He is."
"Who?"
"Lin Muyu."
"You … …" Chen Yu felt as if he was struck by lightning.
Han Yuan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let's go. It seems that Your Majesty is really unwilling to cooperate with our Celestial Empire. Since that's the case, we can only open the way ourselves."
"En."
Nüshi raised her brows, "Sect Leader Han Yuan, please wait. What do you mean by opening the way ourselves?"
Han Yuan turned around and said respectfully, "The Celestial Empire's millions of troops want to conquer the Forest of No Return. Right now, it's late autumn and the leaves are withering. Naturally, they will cut down the forest. But as long as we set fire to the east, I think we can turn the Forest of No Return into a wasteland in half a month. That way, the pythons and beasts in the forest won't be an obstacle for our Celestial Empire."
"What did you say? You dare! " Nüshi gritted her teeth and flew up with her pipa. Her divine power surged as if she would attack at any moment.
But Han Yuan was still smiling. His strength wasn't below Nüshi's and he wasn't afraid at all. He said calmly, "This is what Your Majesty is forcing us to do. Other than burning the forest, does our Celestial Empire have any other choice?"
"If you dare to burn the forest, I will let the people of your Celestial Empire die without a burial ground. If you don't believe me, you can try!" Nüshi threatened with a cold face.
Han Yuan laughed, "There's nothing to fear. Once we return, we will start the fire tomorrow. Your Majesty should bring your people to hide, but … Zhang Cheng's Yan Ji Corps encampment is a hundred miles to the west. Once the tens of thousands of Demon Spirits leave the Forest of No Return, I don't know if the Celestial Emperor Zhang Cheng will let go of this' delicious meal '."
"Despicable!"
Nüshi was so angry that her body trembled. The Demon Kings behind her roared with sinister expressions. One of them shouted, "Your Majesty, let's fight it out with them!"
Nüshi shook her head and retracted her divine power. She said, "I can't let my anger bring the entire race to eternal damnation … I can't …"
Chen Yu laughed, "Then, Your Majesty, can we talk about cooperation now?"
"Speak, how do you want to cooperate?"
"It's very simple." Chen Yu waved his hand and said, "Open a path in the Forest of No Return for my army. When my army enters the west of the Forest of No Return, we will launch an attack on Zhang Cheng's Yan Ji Corps. At that time, Your Majesty, please lead the Demon Race army to assist us from the other side. As long as we defeat Zhang Cheng's Yan Ji Corps, I promise to give the Demon Race a new status in the continent."
Nüshi looked at him coldly and said, "This is what you said. I hope that Your Majesty Chen Yu will not go back on his words."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
Chen Yu cupped his hands and smiled, "Then, I will go back and wait for Your Majesty's news."
"I won't send you off!"
… …
After watching Chen Yu and the others fly far away, the Demon Kings were so angry that they bared their teeth. One of them said, "Your Majesty, how can we be threatened by such despicable people? The Demon Race will be consigned to eternal damnation from today onwards! "
"If they really set the forest on fire, what should we do?" Nüshi's question made all the Demon Kings speechless.
After a while, Nüshi sighed softly and said, "Is there any news from the Shattered Cauldron Realm?"
"Yes, we bought new information from the merchants. The main forces of the Tianji Empire and the Blackstone Empire have been defeated by the Qin Army. The Qin Emperor, Lin Muyu, has found the Empress, Qin Yin, and has reinstated Qin Yin as the Empress. Now that the Shattered Cauldron Realm has been unified, the national strength is very weak. I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to counterattack the Celestial Pole Continent."
"Hmph."
Nüshi's beautiful eyebrows glowed with an enchanting luster under the bright moon. She murmured, "It doesn't matter. I have eternal life. I can wait until Lin Muyu leads the army on an expedition to the east. At that time, I will make Chen Yu, Han Yuan, and these despicable people die without a burial place!"
"Your Majesty, you want to form an alliance with the Qin Army?" A Demon King who looked like a goblin asked, dumbfounded.
Nüshi smiled faintly, "Not with the Qin Army, but with Lin Muyu."
"Why? That brat isn't in high demand! I don't think he's as handsome as I am. "
"What do you know?" Nüshi rolled her eyes at him disdainfully and said, "Lin Muyu has a righteous aura. Even if he is the ruler of the world, he must be a benevolent ruler. He is definitely not someone that a scheming kid like Chen Yu can be compared to. Moreover, Lin Muyu's identity is special. He has the disposition of a supreme being. His sworn brother is the ruler of the Eastern Heaven Realm, and his sworn sister Qin Yin's sister is the Blazing Angel Xi Yan of the Western Heaven Realm. It can be said that he is the most fragrant person in the entire Eastern and Western Heaven Realms. What do you know? What are you talking nonsense here? Besides, you wouldn't even let a dog eat you. You still have the cheek to say that you are more handsome than Lin Muyu?"
The Demon King muttered, "Your Majesty is wise. You can even see through this!"
… …
Western Heaven Realm.
In the middle of the spiritual mountains, a floating continent stood majestically. It was late at night. In the forest, there was a huge rock glowing with a faint golden light. Countless names were faintly discernible on it. But at this moment, the light on many of the names was slowly dissipating and finally disappeared completely.
The Shrine Rock. The name of anyone who became a god of the Western Heaven Realm would appear on the Shrine Rock. This rock recorded the glory and decline of the Western Divine Realm. It had been standing for hundreds of thousands of years.
On the Shrine Rock, light slowly flickered. Another name was disappearing.
In the air, Seraph Xi Yan hovered there with a sharp sword in her hand. Her deep eyes stared at the disappearing name on the rock and murmured: "Is all this worth it?"
Ruler Claude said indifferently, "Winner takes all. This is the price. Can't you see it clearly?"
Xi Yan smiled faintly, "Lord Ruler, Xi Yan has a request."
"Speak." Ruler turned his back to her.
"Xi Yan is tired. I want to return to my hometown to rest for a while."
"What did you say?"
Claude was shocked, "East Heaven can make a comeback at any time. Western Heaven Realm is in need of people. Xi Yan, as one of the two Blazing Angels, how can you just leave like that?"
Xi Yan tightened her grip on her sword and said, "I'm tired of all this. I want to be quiet for a while."
"You … …"
When Claude looked again, he saw that Xi Yan already had six bright wings behind her. She had raised her power to the limit. Her divine power was no weaker than his!
"Xi Yan, what exactly do you want to do?" Lao Wa on the side was a little panicked.
"Ruler, please allow me!"
Xi Yan knelt down on one knee.
Claude let out a long sigh. "Fine, fine. You can go."
