Lan Ling couldn't guess Zhang Shuangshuang's (Lan Sisi's) heart!
Her heart was aloof, filled with absolute confidence, and filled with the thinking of a ruler.
In short, her method of persuasion was different from Fu Lingxi and Hui Gu.
Hui Gu was a straightforward person, so he changed from arrogance to deference. In the beginning, because of the strength of the Dragon Temple, his attitude towards Lan Ling was very arrogant and aloof. Later, he found out that after Lan Ling became the Dragon Emperor, he would become the spiritual leader of the Dragon Temple, so his attitude suddenly became humble, and he didn't even know how to treat Lan Ling.
As for Fu Lingxi, she was still the most simple and direct greedy and bad, using the most flattering way to ask and tempt Lan Ling to become the Demon Emperor.
Only Zhang Shuangshuang used the most direct words to smash all the hypocrisy.
You, Lan Ling, becoming the Dragon Emperor is to be kept in captivity, is to surrender!
This kind of words was not only direct, but also humiliating.
During the conversation, Lan Ling didn't feel it, but afterwards, the more Lan Ling thought about it, the clearer it became. Zhang Shuangshuang didn't want Lan Ling to become the Dragon Emperor, but she wanted him … to die, so she constantly stimulated Lan Ling's self-esteem, trying to incite his rebellious mentality to die!
Next, Lan Ling thought more.
Perhaps, the so-called Devil Cabinet Master wasn't Zhang Shuangshuang's goal. In terms of human lifespan, she was only in her forties. Not only that, she had a longer life.
So in the future, she even had a higher space in the Dragon Temple, at least she wanted a higher space.
Even her Demon Dragon Clan wanted to become the new ruler of this world!
This was really not surprising at all!
This was just like the Hu Tribe at the end of the Tang Dynasty. At first, they were just slaves of the Tang Dynasty, but they gradually entered the ruling class of the Tang Dynasty, and even became provincial governors. When the time was right, the barbarian, An Lushan, rebelled and almost took away the Li family's territory. Later on, the Shatuo Clan even directly occupied the Central Plains and established the Later Tang.
Just like in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dong Yue Wu, Shu Han, and Cao Wei were all finished. In the end, the Sima Clan took over their territories.
If things were to develop like this, it would really be a huge joke.
However, from Lan Sisi, Lan Ling could see that she was full of ambition and confidence.
Her confidence came from her bloodline, as well as the Dragon Temple's policy of playing with fire.
Now, Lan Ling was completely speechless about the Dragon Temple. This superpower had been powerful for too long and had been invincible for too long. After keeping the Dragon Emperor in captivity three thousand years ago, their confidence swelled to the extreme.
Nowadays, the internal strife within the Temple of the Sky was really unscrupulous for the sake of power. They really dared to play with fire. They cultivated Iceman, Devil Emperor, and Zhang Shuangshuang in a row.
Now, they had almost no fear of Lan Ling, the Demon Emperor who destroyed the world. They even used the strategy of raising pigs, fattening them up before killing them.
However, the Dragon Temple was full of fear of Lan Ling, so they would not give Lan Ling another chance.
…
"The Devil Kingdom's territory is huge, and it is separated from us by the Land of the Fallen, so it will take a long time for the Devil Kingdom's army to move south." The Tang Empire said, "According to our estimates, it will take three months for Devil Emperor to gather the army, five months for the march, and ten months for the Devil Kingdom's army to surround the Empire and the outbreak of the decisive battle!"
Princess Tigné said, "We know very little about the Devil Kingdom's information. Emperor Jun, please tell us."
Emperor Jun thought for a while and said, "As everyone knows, the energy that belongs to King Arthur in this world has been completely monopolized. Currently, there are two monopolized sources. One is the secret realm of Devil's Prison, and the other is the secret realm of Dragon Prison. But Devil Emperor has already developed a third energy source, and even secretly contacted the ultimate power on the moon. I don't know if he succeeded. But … having an independent King Arthur energy plane has proved everything. When I left the Devil Kingdom, there are a total of thirteen vampire royals who have broken through to King Arthur level, and each of them has more or less a few King Arthur. For example, the Snake Spirit Clan has more than six King Arthur. In short, the Devil Kingdom's top martial arts force is very, very powerful, second only to the Dragon Temple, and maybe ten times more powerful than the Balrog Empire! "
The Witch Queen said, "Then what level has the Devil Kingdom's energy science reached?"
"Both Na Xue and I are outsiders to the Devil Kingdom, so we don't know much about this secret," Di Ming said. "But, but there is one thing. Nine years ago, Devil Emperor used a giant energy device to blast open the entrance to a plane. "
Based on this point alone, there was nothing more to say.
Nine years ago, the Devil Kingdom's energy device could blast open the entrance to a plane. Even now, the Balrog Empire hasn't reached this level. This meant that nine years ago, the Devil Kingdom's energy science had far surpassed the Balrog Empire's.
"Of course, after that, Devil Emperor was severely reprimanded by the Dragon Temple. He was warned not to conduct energy science research anymore, and Devil Emperor agreed." Di Ming said, "But according to my understanding of Di Mo Tuo, this is completely impossible. The Divine Dragon Sacred Hall is just pretending to be ignorant. For the Dragon Temple, the Devil Kingdom is too big for them to deal with. Inside the Heavenly Tomb of the Dragon Temple, there are countless top fighters, and their power is more than a hundred times that of the Balrog Empire. But if they want to destroy the Devil Kingdom, the Dragon Temple must open the Heavenly Tomb on a large scale. This is a strategic resource that belongs to the Dragon Temple. They will try not to open it if possible. Every time they open it, there will be one less of them. Most importantly, these priests are old and have high status. Once they open it on a large scale, the big shots of the Temple of the Sky might lose their right to speak. "
Tigné asked, "Then has the Devil Kingdom made any progress with spatial spells?"
Di Ming said, "According to the rules, there should only be two people in this world who have spatial spells. One is the Dragon Emperor from three thousand years ago, and the other is His Majesty Lan Ling. But there is another race that has a very special understanding of spatial spells. That is the Demon Dragon Clan. "
Lan Ling already had a deep understanding of this.
Di Ming said, "As far as I know, the Demon Dragon Clan doesn't have complete spatial spells like the Demon Emperor. They can create isolated spaces, create spatial traps, and so on. But they have a very good understanding of the planes in this world. This is because they have Dragon and Demon Bloodlines in their bodies, and can change into all kinds of energy attributes. Secondly, for tens of thousands of years, the Demon Dragon Clan has been constantly being hunted by the Demon Emperor and the Dragon Temple. They have been fleeing to various planes. So, even though they don't know how to create space, they can travel back and forth between planes. "
Di Ming's meaning was very clear. A branch of the Demon Dragon Clan had sided with Demon Tuo Di, so this special spatial spell was naturally mastered by Demon Tuo Di. Even though it wasn't a true spatial spell, it still couldn't be underestimated.
"After the last war, the Balrog Empire is already transparent, while the Demon Kingdom is still mysterious." Di Ming said, "If they don't have a new secret weapon, I think the Balrog Empire has no chance in this war."
Then, the Flame Demon Council fell silent.
According to a strict calculation, the decisive battle between the Demon Kingdom and the Balrog Empire would break out in about ten months.
And in these ten months, the Balrog Empire wouldn't have any new secret weapons.
The most important Star Mana Reaction Core had already reached a bottleneck. In theory, they had already found a way to break down the Star Mana for the third time. But it was only in theory. Because it required an astronomical amount of energy, it couldn't be mass produced.
And if they wanted to study the Star Mana Reaction Core, they needed to break down the Star Mana for the fourth time.
"How much is the product of the third breakdown now?" Lan Ling asked.
Tang Ren said, "Less than one milliliter, but we've already used up 900,000 kilograms of Star Mana Meteors. Also, we don't know what this milliliter of the third breakdown product can do. "
"Continue breaking it down!" Lan Ling said.
"Yes!" Tang Ren said.
…
Lan Ling, Tang Ren, Tigné, and the Demon Queen held a very small private meeting.
"The Balrog Empire has no chance in this war," Lan Ling said, "The only chance is for me to obtain the Demon Emperor's inheritance. Once I succeed, my energy will be above that of Demon Tuo Di, and I can instantly activate the energy of all the Infernal Knights. Only then can we instantly defeat the Demon Buddha Empire. "
"Tigné, Tang Ren, you two stay in Flame Demon City and prepare for war," Lan Ling said, "Demon Queen Daji, you will accompany me to the Devil's Prison Secret Realm for training. In three months, you need to break through to the peak of Heaven Rank, King Arthur. And I … … need to expand the black hole vortex in my energy heart to the limit! "
When he said this, Tang Ren, Tigné, and the Demon Queen were all shocked.
If the black hole vortex expanded to the limit, wouldn't that mean that it would devour all of Lan Ling's life force, including his bloodline energy, and his brain energy?
Wouldn't that mean that he would be annihilated?
Lan Ling didn't explain!
Na Xue had said that the Emperor Doom's inheritance was in the Underworld.
Where was the Underworld? It was Hell, where the dead went.
And Lan Ling was now completely immortal. He couldn't be killed no matter what. So the black hole vortex was his only chance.
So he expanded the black hole vortex to the limit and devoured Lan Ling, turning him into ashes.
After Lan Ling's death, she would be able to enter the Underworld and search for the legacy of the Misfortune Emperor.
This was Lan Ling's crazy plan.
A plan to truly put himself in a dead end and then come back to life.
"I feel that the Dragon Temple made a huge mistake. They always think from their own point of view." Lan Ling said, "When I discovered the black hole vortex in my energy heart, I thought that maybe darkness, despair, or even death are the source of energy for the Demon Emperor."
Tang Ren trembled and said, "Your Majesty, is … is there any evidence that your method will work?"
"There is no evidence, no clues, no signs, no precedents!" Lan Ling said, "I'm just following my instincts, my crazy instincts. Since there is no way out, I might as well go crazy and seek death. If I don't die, maybe I'll find a way out! "
Lan Ling had made up his mind long ago. He had made up his mind the moment he learned that he had obtained the black hole vortex.
Everyone was afraid of death, true death.
Then he would give it a try.
The real fatal blow to Lan Ling was Lan Sisi's words. His first death was the result of the Dragon Temple's manipulation.
He was really unhappy!
So he wanted to go crazy and seek death himself to see if he could find a way out.
After a long silence, Tang Ren knelt down and kowtowed, "As you command, Your Majesty!"
Lan Ling said, "In ten months, we will have a decisive battle with the Demon Kingdom. If I succeed, it will be the return of the King. If I don't come back by then, it means that I have failed. "
"Yes!" Tang Ren and Tigné said.
Then, Tang Ren smiled and said, "Even if I fail, the worst that can happen is that we are destroyed together. There will be no regrets. After all, we have fought for a great cause in our lives, and we have gone crazy! For such a great cause, failure is normal. Success is accidental! If we go crazy like this, what if we succeed? "
"Well said, what if we succeed?" Lan Ling said with a smile.
