After the Heaven Killer King knelt down, the Heaven Killer Crown Prince was stunned.
He was a very contradictory person. He hated Lan Ling to the core because he had been completely defeated by Lan Ling. His beloved Princess Tigné had also become Lan Ling's woman.
However, ever since Lan Ling had made the Tigné Army disappear from the world without anyone knowing, he had been in awe of Lan Ling. In this final battle, the miracle that Lan Ling had performed was enough to make the Heaven Killer Crown Prince admire him.
When the army had been defeated, it had been him who had advised the Heaven Killer King to escape. However, after escaping back to the Heaven Killer King, it had been him who had felt humiliated.
Therefore, he had not cultivated his mind to perfection. He was afraid of death, but he also had a strong self-esteem. He could not stand being humiliated.
After hearing the conditions of the Devil Monk Crown Prince and the Dragon Temple, he could not agree to it. What was the point of being a puppet? A puppet that could not even protect its own life. As for relying on Lan Ling, he would be on the losing side and would definitely die. To be honest, a young man like the Heaven Killer Crown Prince did not want to think that far ahead.
At the moment, he was not satisfied with being a puppet of the Dragon Temple and the Devil Monk Empire. He could not even control his own life.
Therefore, he did not find it unacceptable that his father had surrendered to Lan Ling. He was just very surprised.
In his opinion, even if his father had to be a dog of the Dragon Temple, he would not surrender to Lan Ling. He had never really understood the Heaven Killer King.
The Heaven Killer King's catchphrase was that heroes were all dead.
Every time he said this, he was in pain. It was a kind of self-consolation. It was a kind of heartache and brainwashing that he could not be a hero.
In the end, the Heaven Killer King chose to listen to his own impulses and find his respect for his father, Iceman.
"Father, I have signed a spiritual contract with the Dragon Temple. Within a certain distance, the Dragon Temple can make me hover between life and death. It can even destroy my mind directly," the Heaven Killing King said.
The Tang Empire replied, "Rest assured, our Balrog Empire has five incomparably powerful energy shields. As long as you enter this spiritual energy shield, the Dragon Temple's spiritual power won't be able to pass through, and this spiritual contract won't be able to hurt you. Furthermore, His Majesty is a Master of Mental Abilities. I will plead with him to find a way to remove the Spiritual Contract in your brain. In fact, at that time, the two of us worked together to break the spiritual contract in Crouching Ground Demon's brain region within a few hours. You should know this very well. "
The Tian Sha King said, "The Dragon Temple and the Demonic Buddha Crown Prince would never have imagined that I would surrender to His Majesty Lan Ling. We must leave immediately. Bring all the strong practitioners of the Devil's Doctrine and above, as well as all the members of the Tian Sha Royal Family, and enter the Balrog Empire!"
The Tang Dynasty replied, "Even though I don't know if I can convince you, His Majesty still sent Empress Tina and Demoness Xi Qian to lead 1,000 Death Warriors and Demoness Kingdom's Warriors to welcome the Sky Sha royal family into the Balrog Empire. Even if the Dragon Temple and the Demonic Buddha Empire find out, they can't do anything about it! "
That night, the Heaven Killer King led the remaining 22 Demon Saints, 500 Demon Venerables, a few thousand Demon Sects, and a few thousand members of the Heaven Killer Royal Family to evacuate the Heaven Killer Royal City overnight. They fled to the Balrog Empire.
The team had just left the Heaven Killing Palace when they encountered the Balrog Empire's top martial arts legion led by Tigné and Jacqueline.
Tigné looked at the Heaven Killer King and said, "Godfather!"
The Heaven Killer King hurriedly got down on one knee and said, "I wouldn't dare. Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Then, the group flew to the Balrog Empire as fast as they could!
…
Flame Demon City!
"Sinner Tian Sha greets Your Majesty! Long live, long live!"
Upon seeing Lan Ling, the Heaven Killer King immediately got down on his knees. He put his forehead on the ground and knelt down.
Behind him, dozens of members of the Heaven Killer Royal Family also knelt down and kowtowed. Only Princess Di Ning rolled her eyes at him.
In the eyes of others, Lan Ling might be the high and mighty Emperor of the Balrog Empire. But in Princess Di Ning's eyes, Lan Ling was a bastard.
When the Tang people were in danger, she betrayed her father and told Lan Ling about it out of kindness. As a result, Lan Ling immediately took her hostage and wanted to use her to exchange for the Tang people. Later, Di Ning said that she was not important enough, so he used Di Ning to capture the Heaven Killer Crown Prince and successfully saved the Tang people.
There was no one else like him who could be so shameless.
"Please rise!" Lan Ling personally helped the Heaven Killer King up and said, "No matter how many conflicts there are between us, you saved Nai Er and turned her into a Nirvana Emperor. I will always remember this favor!"
"I dare not …" The Heaven Killer King kowtowed.
"Normally, I don't care about people's surrenders. For example, the Earth Killer King, the Spirit Misfortune King, and the other Four Great Demon Kings. I don't even see them now, because they are already disabled. They can no longer maintain the dignity of the Demon King." Lan Ling said, "I treat you with respect because you surrendered to me. Even though you had nowhere else to go, it was also a return of passion and ideals."
"I am ashamed!" The Heaven Killer King continued kowtowing.
Lan Ling said, "In the human world, there was such a person. He almost killed my father and almost killed me several times. But he shamelessly knelt in front of me and surrendered. Later, he even became my father-in-law. He is Gui Xingfu. After I was killed by Jung Yeon, I don't know what Gui Xingfu was thinking, but I vaguely feel that he may be different from what I imagined. "
Lan Ling's words were always bold and imaginative. The Heaven Killer King quietly knelt on the ground and listened to him.
Lan Ling continued, "I originally thought that you and Gui Xingfu were the same kind of people. Now, it seems that you are not! You remind me of two people, two people who don't belong to this plane. One is called Wang Zhaoming, and the other is called Qian Qianyi! People are complicated and changeable. Only at the moment of death can we determine whether a person is a hero or a coward! "
In his early years, Wang Zhaoming was definitely a hero. Later, he became the biggest traitor in China.
When the Manchurian Qing invaded the Central Plains, Qian Qianyi, as the leader of the literati, didn't want to die. He didn't dare to commit suicide. He claimed that the water was too cold and surrendered to the Manchurian Qing Dynasty. But after he surrendered, he was heartbroken. At the age of 70 or 80, he was still fighting against the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.
The Heaven Killer King didn't know these two people that Lan Ling mentioned, but he could completely understand what he was saying.
The Heaven Killer King had two bloodlines in his body. One was Iceman's, which was full of ideals and courage. The other was the Heaven Killer King's, which was full of greed and shamelessness.
It was the struggle between these two bloodlines that would decide who he would become in the end.
"Confer the title of Prince Tian Sha of the Balrog Empire and a member of the Flame Demon Council!" Lan Ling said.
There was no need to redeem himself. He was directly promoted to Prince Tian Sha. In the past, the Heaven Killer King would definitely not be satisfied. He wanted to be the emperor of the Demon Empire. But compared to being a puppet that couldn't command a single soldier, there was no doubt that the Heaven Killer King of the Balrog Empire was much more important.
"Your sinful subject thanks Your Majesty for your grace. Long live Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" The Heaven Killer King kowtowed.
Lan Ling said, "Tigné, Tangs, after the reorganization, form a Heaven Killer Army in the Imperial Legion of Balrog. There are about 1,500,000 soldiers, and they will be commanded by the Heaven Killer King!"
The Heaven Killer King kowtowed again.
"As for the spiritual contract in the mind of the Heaven Killer King's son, Xiao Dao, I will think of a way," Lan Ling said. "And your father, Iceman, will also become a major event for the Balrog Empire in the near future!"
"Your sinful subject is grateful. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"
…
Lan Ling entered the Space Prison again and said to Na Xue, "Kneel down and swear loyalty to me!"
"In your dreams!" Na Xue said.
Lan Ling said, "Kneel down and swear loyalty to me!"
"In your dreams!" Na Xue said.
Lan Ling said, "Kneel down and swear loyalty to me!"
"In your dreams!" Na Xue said.
Lan Ling repeated this over and over again. After repeating this a hundred times, he left.
The Heaven Killer King didn't mention a word about his surrender. His conversation with Na Xue was just this: Kneel down and swear loyalty to me!
…
The next morning!
The Flame Demon Hall, which hadn't been completed yet, held its first court meeting.
The Queen of the Witch Kingdom, the Heaven Killer King, the Rakshasa King Ming Ren, Prince Yun E, the Ground Killer King, the Spirit Killer King, the Earth Disaster King, the Heaven Wrath King, the Eight Great Demon Kings of the Southern Wilderness, plus the Winged Race King who moved south, all knelt down in the hall.
The representatives of the Nine Great Demon King Families presented the Flame Demon Emperor with a letter of state.
"From today onwards, the Witch Kingdom will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor. All the territories of the Witch Kingdom are sacred and inseparable territories of the Balrog Empire. All the people of the Witch Kingdom are subjects of the Balrog Empire and will never betray us!
"From today onwards, the Heaven Killer Tribe will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor. All the territories of the Heaven Killer Tribe are sacred and inseparable territories of the Balrog Empire. All the people of the Heaven Killer Tribe are subjects of the Balrog Empire and will never betray us!
"From today onwards, the Rakshasa Tribe will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor …
"From today onwards, the Cloud Disaster Tribe will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor …
"From today onwards, the Earth Killer Tribe will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor …
"From today onwards, the Spirit Killer Tribe will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor …
"From today onwards, the Earth Disaster Tribe will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor …
"From today onwards, the Heaven Wrath Tribe will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor …
"From today onwards, the Winged Tribe will cease to govern itself and swear loyalty to the Flame Demon Emperor …"
The Nine Great Demon Kings presented their letters of state one after another, ending the autonomy of the various tribes that had existed for 10,000 years and returning to the rule of the Demon Empire.
This was a grand day as it represented the unification of the Southern Wilderness that had been divided for 15,000 years.
3,000 years ago, the Ghost King had wanted to complete this great undertaking. However, he had only unified one-third of the Southern Wilderness before he was annihilated.
Now, Lan Ling had gone even further than the Ghost King.
As long as he unified the Northern Wilderness, Lan Ling would have completely unified the Demon Territory.
From then on, the territory of the Balrog Empire would increase from 2,300,000 square kilometers to 150 million square kilometers.
The population of the Balrog Empire would increase from 26 million to 630 million!
The civil war in the Southern Wilderness that had lasted for two and a half years had officially ended. In just two and a half years of civil war, more than 80 million soldiers had died or were injured, which made up 70% of the total army in the Southern Wilderness. The number of people who died or were injured exceeded 360 million, which made up 37% of the total population of the Southern Wilderness.
"Announce to the world that from today onwards, the Southern Wilderness is officially unified. Every inch of the Southern Wilderness is the sacred territory of the Balrog Empire. No forces are allowed to enter! Anyone who enters illegally will be killed by the Balrog Empire! "
"This imperial edict must be spread throughout the world, including the Dragon Temple, the Demon Kingdom, and every human country!"
"As you wish!"
Following Lan Ling's order, thousands of messengers riding various kinds of winged mounts surged out and flew towards the north.
The envoy fleet of the Balrog Empire headed north to the human countries to announce the imperial edict of Lan Ling!
Twenty-one days later, the emperor of the Demon Kingdom in the north, Di Mo Tuo, received this imperial edict from the Emperor of the Balrog Empire.
Forty-five days later, the Dragon Temple received this imperial edict!
…
The human countries, the Raging Wave Kingdom, Tianshui City!
At this time, the entire Tianshui City had become an incomparably huge military fortress. Tianlang Pass and Savage Canyon had been expanded more than ten times!
The Dragon Temple and the Raging Wave Kingdom had stationed more than two million troops at Tianshui Castle to defend against the possible invasion of the Demon Kingdom.
Gui Xingfu had his wish fulfilled. He once again became the cabinet minister of the Raging Wave Kingdom, concurrently serving as the governor of the eastern and southern provinces, and the highest civil official of the Tianshui City war zone.
And his former adopted son, Zhi Ao (Ling Ao), had now become the first commander of the Raging Wave Kingdom's High Command, concurrently serving as the kingdom's ruling prince.
In the past, he had dreamed of becoming a person above all others countless times. For this, he did not even hesitate to kneel down and lick Zhi Li's boots. He even watched as his fiancée, Gui Qinshao, offered herself to Zhi Li.
But fate made fools of people. After the fall of Søren. He, Ling Ao, not only became a person above all others as he wished, he also became the only blood relative of Queen Jung Yeon. He became the illegitimate son of the fallen king, and the only son.
Not only that, he also became the ruling prince of the Raging Wave Kingdom! This position, even if he was ambitious at that time, did not dare to imagine!
As the ruling prince, Zhi Ao had also gone to the Dragon Temple twice to study energy martial arts.
Almost half of the year, he was in Tianshui City's Savage Canyon Fortress, supervising the construction of this human country's first line of defense.
On this day, as usual, he patrolled the huge line of defense on his Gryphon, inspecting every cannon and every castle.
At this time, from the southeast sea, hundreds of black shadows flew over!
Soon, these black shadows arrived in the sky above the Savage Canyon Fortress. The leader, a human warrior, said, "I am the envoy of the Balrog Empire, requesting to enter the Raging Wave Kingdom."
Hearing the words Balrog Empire, Zhi Ao's heart skipped a beat.
"What's the matter?" Zhi Ao said.
"Give me the imperial edict of the Balrog Empire's Great Emperor to the king of the Raging Wave Kingdom!" the Balrog Empire's envoy said.
Zhi Ao said, "My country's Queen is not here, I am the ruling prince of the Raging Wave Kingdom, Zhi Ao. You can give me the imperial edict of your country's Great Emperor."
The Balrog Empire's envoy said, "Please show me your identification!"
Zhi Ao showed his seal and the relevant documents, confirming his identity as the ruling prince of the Raging Wave Kingdom.
The Balrog Empire's envoy handed him the imperial edict, saying, "Please pass it to your country's Queen and give her a reply. One month later, I will visit your country again and accept your country's reply! "
Zhi Ao nodded.
…
At night, Zhi Ao went to Gui Xingfu's Governor's Mansion and handed over the imperial edict of the Balrog Empire.
"Godfather, Søren has unified the southern wilderness of 150 million square kilometers and established the Balrog Empire!" Zhi Ao said, "Where should we go?"
