Lan Ling looked at Jiang Shang for a while and said, "Three thousand years ago, the Dragon Emperor chose this path, but he was defeated."
"Yes, the Dragon Emperor was defeated," Jiang Shang said, "but he was defeated by a trap, by a conspiracy, not by power."
Lan Ling thought so too. The Dragon Emperor was imprisoned or fell, to a large extent, because he fell into the conspiracy of the Dragon Temple, not by force.
Jiang Shang continued, "Your Majesty, although there aren't many monarchs who are loyal to the Dragon Emperor in the human kingdoms, there aren't many of them. You are the successor of the Dragon Emperor. As long as you obtain the inheritance of the Dragon Emperor, who can stop you from rebuilding the Fire Dragon Empire? You are the Dragon Emperor's successor. As long as you obtain the Dragon Emperor's inheritance, who can stop you from rebuilding the Flame Dragon Empire? After all, the Dragon Emperor is not only the leader of the human kingdoms, but also the supreme leader of the Dragon Temple in name. He is the only representative of the Ancient Dragon in the world. After all, the Dragon Emperor is not only the leader of the human kingdoms, but also the supreme leader of the Dragon Temple in name. He is the only representative of the Ancient Dragon in the world. "
"The Dragon Emperor is strong in the first place, and later built the kingdom, so he is lacking in conspiracies and is too righteous. But you are different. You have been through hundreds of battles in the human kingdoms, fighting with Zhi Li, fighting with the Dragon Temple, and in terms of conspiracies, you are not inferior to anyone. The Dragon Emperor may be defeated, but you may not be defeated. "
"Moreover, my Dongli Kingdom is far more powerful than you can imagine. Over the past three thousand years, under the conspiracy of the Dragon Temple, the Fire Dragon vassal states loyal to the Dragon Emperor have all been destroyed. Only the Dongli Kingdom survived, and it has been passed down for three thousand years. Not only that, the Dragon Temple has ruled the entire human kingdoms, but has never been able to enter the Dongli Kingdom. This is not without reason. That's because we've obtained many mysterious legacies from the Fire Dragon Empire, whether it's energy weapons, energy martial arts, mysticism, high-grade bloodlines, etc. Otherwise, the Dong Li Kingdom would have been overthrown by the Dragon Temple hundreds of times. "
Lan Ling came to a sudden realization. So that's how it was.
Everything made sense now. When he was in the human kingdom, Lan Ling found it very strange. The Dragon Temple was so powerful that it shrouded the whole world, so why couldn't it enter the Dong Li Kingdom at all? It even had to think of all kinds of ways to please Jiang Shang, the King of the Dong Li Kingdom. For example, every batch of high-level students of the Dragon College had to go to the Dong Li Kingdom to study for half a year in order to make sure that every high-level student of the Dragon Temple had a teacher-student relationship with the previous King of the Dong Li Kingdom.
This had nothing to do with propriety, justice, or honor. It was purely a matter of strength.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Shang asked, "Your Majesty, do you know about the Heavenly Tomb?"
Of course, he knew about the Heavenly Tomb. It was a product of the Dragon Temple. In the Heavenly Tomb, time stood still. Lying in the Heavenly Tomb's coffin was equivalent to immortality.
There were many Heavenly Tombs in the Dragon Temple. Moreover, the Heavenly Tomb was the top secret of the Dragon Temple.
At least, the Demon Race didn't have the Heavenly Tomb.
The King of the Dong Li Kingdom then told him the biggest secret of the Dongli Kingdom.
"Ninety years after the Fire Dragon Empire was destroyed, the Dongli Kingdom successfully created the Heavenly Tomb's coffin according to the relevant information provided by the Dragon Emperor. Since then, every King of the Dong Li Kingdom after the age of seventy, no matter how long they could live, must enter the Heavenly Tomb and wait for the Dragon Emperor's summon. "
Hearing this peerless secret, Lan Ling was completely stunned.
"In the past three thousand years, some Kings of the Dong Li Kingdom didn't have a high level of martial arts cultivation and were not qualified to enter the Heavenly Tomb. Some were killed before the age of seventy because of the fierce war or the Dragon Temple's framing. However, after three thousand years, there are a total of nineteen former kings sealed in the Heavenly Tomb's coffin, waiting for you to awaken them! "
"According to the Demon Race's cultivation classification, those who haven't reached the King Arthur level are not qualified to enter the Heavenly Tomb. Therefore, as long as you inherit everything from the Dragon Emperor, you can summon the nineteen former kings. Including me, you will have twenty King Arthur level powerhouses. "
"These twenty King Arthur level powerhouses are your most loyal subjects. They will never betray you."
Hearing this secret, Lan Ling almost suffocated.
To think that the Dongli Nation was hiding such a shocking secret. Twenty Inferior King level cultivators! What kind of power was this? It was completely subversive.
No wonder the Dragon Temple couldn't enter the Dongli Kingdom.
Moreover, they were indeed the most loyal subjects.
Seventy years was only middle-aged for King Arthur level powerhouses. According to the normal lifespan, a human-level King Arthur level powerhouse could live at least 120 years, right?
For the great cause of the Dragon Emperor, they chose to seal themselves at the age of seventy.
What kind of noble sentiment was that? How loyal was this?
No wonder Jiang Shang was so confident. As long as Lan Ling obtained the inheritance of the Dragon Emperor, he could immediately rebuild the Fire Dragon Empire and unify the human countries after he went north.
Because there were nineteen King Arthur level powerhouses waiting for him to awaken.
He had the mysterious and powerful Dongli Kingdom, twenty King Arthur level powerhouses, and the supreme title of the Dragon Emperor. He was really invincible in the human countries. Even the powerful Dragon Temple couldn't openly make an enemy out of Lan Ling.
After all, the Dragon Temple still held the flag of the Dragon Emperor until now. Even though they had secretly framed the Dragon Emperor, they still respected the Dragon Emperor as their leader on the surface.
"As long as you obtain the inheritance of the Dragon Emperor, you can open the Heavenly Tomb and awaken the nineteen former Kings!"
"Your subject, Jiang Shang, pleads for Your Majesty to go north and inherit the mantle of the Dragon Emperor. Rebuild the Fire Dragon Empire and liberate the human countries. Long live Your Majesty!"
Lan Ling took a deep breath. "What about saving the Tang people?"
Jiang Shang said, "Your subject feels that if Your Majesty obtains the inheritance of the Dragon Emperor, you will surpass the Sky Priest in terms of energy level. The Tang people's black hole was left behind by the Sky Priest, Misfortune. As the successor of the Dragon Emperor, I think there should be a way to solve it! "
There was a certain amount of truth to this statement. In fact, it was quite reasonable.
The Goddess of Misfortune, Shui Hongshao, had also said that as long as they could research the Star Magic Core, they would be able to solve the black hole in the Tang people's energy heart.
The Star Magic Core was the high-level energy form of the Star Magic.
Even though the Dragon Emperor was harmed by the Dragon Temple, his energy level definitely surpassed the Sky Priest.
Therefore, inheriting the mantle of the Dragon Emperor and saving the Tang people was logical.
On the left was Yan Nair, the Witch Kingdom, the Balrog Empire, and perhaps Princess Na Xue.
On the right was the Dongli Kingdom, the Fire Dragon Empire, the inheritance of the Dragon Emperor, and the lives of twenty King Arthur's subjects.
From the current point of view, inheriting the mantle of the Dragon Emperor was definitely more worth it.
Twenty King Arthur level experts were too shocking!
Including Iceman, the Rakshasa Mother, and the Peerless Ghoul, there were only eight King Arthur's in the entire southern wilderness.
The Heaven Killing Monarch, Tigné, the Demon Queen, Na Xue, Di Jun, the Peerless Ghoul, the Rakshasa Mother, and Iceman.
Lan Ling yearned for the help of a pseudo-monarch powerhouse when facing the attack of the Di Ming Blood-sucking Demon Legion. She had no choice but to let Peerless Ghoul go crazy. Even though it had gone crazy, it still left.
But now, he only needed to nod his head and he could have twenty King Arthur's.
These twenty King Arthur's were the precious assets that the previous Dragon Emperor had left for Lan Ling.
Lan Ling said, "If I inherit the mantle of the Dragon Emperor, what will the consequences be for the Demon Race?"
Jiang Shang was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, I don't have much prejudice against the current Demon Race. I've also had adventures and exchanges with the Tang people for a period of time. We're very congenial in our understanding of energy, the starry sky, and philosophy. But once you inherit the mantle of the Dragon Emperor, you'll be opposing the Demon Race in terms of energy. This can't be changed. "
"Natural enemies?" Lan Ling said.
Jiang Shang said, "Yes, natural enemies! For example, you and Princess Tigné don't have any enmity towards each other. But once you inherit the mantle of the Dragon Emperor, your energy will instinctively repel and harm her. This is not based on your intentions. "
Now, Lan Ling finally understood why Princess Na Xue kept her distance from Lan Ling. Even though she knew that Lan Ling was the master of Eros, she didn't intend to be loyal to him. Instead, she insisted on controlling her own fate and unifying the Demon Race.
Because once Lan Ling chose to become the Dragon Emperor, the harm would be incomparably great.
Lan Ling said, "If I choose to inherit the mantle of the Dragon Emperor, what will happen to my Death Warriors?"
Jiang Shang's face twitched and said, "They will probably disappear completely!"
Lan Ling asked, "Your Majesty Jiang Shang, you came to persuade me to ascend the throne of the human kingdom in the north. Why didn't you say it before the founding ceremony of the Balrog Empire, but after?"
Jiang Shang said, "The Balrog Empire is your long-cherished wish, it is a goal. After the founding ceremony, you will have completed a certain long-cherished wish and goal."
Lan Ling said, "If I choose to go north and become the new Dragon Emperor, what will happen to my Balrog Empire? Opposing each other as kings? "
Jiang Shang said, "There is no need to be enemies. The Fire Dragon Empire and the Balrog Empire can form an alliance and jointly attack the Dragon Temple and its servants. Then, with the Hundred Thousand Mountains as the boundary, we can develop on our own. The future will be discussed in the future. The most important thing now is to liberate the human kingdom and overthrow the dark rule of the Dragon Temple. The human kingdom has been imprisoned for three thousand years. We need to give the human civilization a new chance. "
…
Jiang Shang's words were very good and reasonable. Even his vision was very broad. He had no intention of becoming enemies with the Demon Race.
Seeing that the unification of the Demon Race was imminent, he only wanted to liberate the human kingdom and give the human civilization a chance to rise again.
What choice should Lan Ling make?
Of course, he had never made a choice, and he didn't need to choose.
If it was before today, Lan Ling might still hesitate and struggle. After all, inheriting the legacy of the Dragon Emperor, he could still destroy the Dragon Temple.
Although the Balrog Empire was founded by him, he didn't have deep feelings for it. He only used it as a tool for revenge.
Although he had some feelings for Dina, Gou Li, Sha Yan, Little Tanuki, and other female demons, it wasn't very deep.
As for the Tang people, Lan Ling would do everything possible to save him, but he wouldn't change his stance for him.
But Tigné came, Nair came!
She was the most lovely and beautiful woman in the world.
Whether it was Lan Ling or Søren, they couldn't let her down, let alone betray her.
Of course, there was another point.
Deep in Lan Ling's heart, he didn't want to become the Dragon Emperor.
So, Lan Ling shook his head at Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang said painfully, "Your Majesty, you … do you really want to become the Demon Emperor that much?"
Lan Ling said, "Becoming the Demon Emperor is not an ideal, nor is it a pursuit! But, first become a demon, then think about it. There's a saying that goes, lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. But at least there's a butcher's knife first, then there's Buddha. So, first become a demon, then become a saint, right? "
Lan Ling said a very evil truth.
Only after experiencing prosperity could people be truly calm and peaceful. Otherwise, all the calmness was just a compromise to reality.
Only after having everything could one be completely free of desire. Having no desire under the situation of having nothing was just an excuse of incompetence.
After listening to Lan Ling's words, Jiang Shang knew in her heart that there was no way to persuade him. Because Lan Ling had seen through and looked far away.
Immediately, he kowtowed bitterly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Then, Jiang Shang also left!
…
Lan Ling said, "Eros, what do you think is in the tomb of the Dragon Emperor?"
Eros was silent for a moment, "Master, I really don't know. I've experienced many things, but I may not remember them all. I'm just an energy body, not a complete life. Maybe it's … the Nihility Bloodline, the Nihility Bloodline bestowed by the Dragon. "
The Dragon Emperor was the representative of the Dragon in the world, and the symbol of becoming the Dragon Emperor was the Dragon's Nihility Bloodline.
The bloodline determined the upper limit of one's cultivation!
Tigné's bloodline came from the Ancient Demon King, so of course it was incomplete.
Na Xue's bloodline should be similar.
The bloodline of the successive East Li Kings came from the legacy of the Fire Dragon Empire.
The origin of the Heaven Killer King and Iceman's bloodline was unknown, but the so-called Atavistic Demon should also be a product of the Ancient Demon King's bloodline.
Remember, it was a product of the bloodline, not a direct bloodline.
The origin of the Demon Buddha Great Emperor's bloodline was also a mystery.
Lan Ling's bloodline had nothing to do with Eros, but it came from the Blood Shore Maze City.
Countless demons and humans died in that sea of blood. The dragon flames burned the sea of blood and finally obtained the Golden Dragon bloodline and the Golden Demon bloodline.
The upper limit of this sea of blood should be Human King and Demon King.
Lan Ling said, "Eros, how should I become the true Demon Emperor?"
Eros said, "Let the demon bloodline in your body completely rule your body and soul."
Lan Ling asked, "How should I do that?"
Eros said, "Obtain the Demon Emperor's Nihility Bloodline."
Lan Ling said, "Could it be that there is also a Demon Emperor's Tomb? There might be a Demon Emperor's Nihility Bloodline in there? "
Eros said, "Apologies, Master. I really don't know. That happened too long ago. After experiencing a new master, I will be reincarnated. If humans reincarnate, it should be very difficult for them to remember their previous lives. "
Then, Eros said, "However, one thing is certain. Once you obtain the Demon Emperor's Nihility Bloodline and become the true Demon Emperor, thirteen incredibly powerful Hell Knights will appear in your mind. In that case, thirteen incomparably powerful Infernal Knights will appear in your brain. This is equivalent to the reappearance of the contract. "
Then, Eros sighed and said, "Of course, there might not be thirteen anymore. After the previous Master of Eros appeared, he hadn't truly become the Demon Emperor and the contract hadn't reappeared. Some Hell Knights couldn't wait to appear in front of him and assist him in the great cause of the Demon Empire. In the end, because he turned around and chose to become the Dragon Emperor, one-third of the thirteen Hell Knights were lost. "
Lan Ling said, "Eros, then do you want me to become the Demon Emperor or the Dragon Emperor?"
Eros said, "You are the master. Your will is above everything. I can't do anything about it. But … I very much agree with your words. Lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. First the butcher's knife, then the Buddha. First become a demon, then become a true saint. "
Lan Ling said, "This world didn't just have the Dragon Emperor, there was also the Demon Emperor, right? Your previous master was the Dragon Emperor, and the previous master was the Demon Emperor, right? "
Eros said, "I really forgot, but it should be …"
Lan Ling said, "The Demon Emperor lost. The Dragon Emperor also lost. In front of me is a completely unknown road."
First become a demon, then become a saint!
