A huge black pillar stood in the middle of the circular altar. There were countless twisted stripes carved on it. Many Demon workers were working around it, building this stone altar.
The altar was located in the middle of a flat plain. This vast plain was filled with the scars of war. The captured Dragonborn were locked up in cages and transported to other places by carts. There were even Wyverns, Earth Dragons, and Giant Dragons. They were all chained up with thick chains and their mouths were bound with steel muzzles. The surrounding Beastmen pulled on the chains, forcing them to obey. They pulled the transport vehicles that crashed into the huge rock.
This was a huge project. Tens of thousands of people were working here. They turned the ground upside down and built a huge altar.
In the center of the altar, in front of the black pillar, the Demon King Richard stood in front of a dark red basin.
He stretched out his right hand and placed it on top of the basin. He chanted a few incantations. Then, sharp nails appeared on his fingers. He clenched his fist, and fresh blood flowed down and dripped onto the red basin.
In an instant, the black pillar emitted light. The patterns on its surface were like countless snakes intertwined together. It began to twist. At the same time, there was a rumbling sound, and a dark red light shot into the sky.
"Three more."
The Demon King muttered. He stood up and turned around. Behind him were the Frost General, the Dwarf Princess Fu Yin, the Dragon Queen Tonis, the Beastman Commander Bru, and the Shapeshifters' ruler Queen Mother.
He looked at them and ordered, "We are about to obtain the entire world. We are only missing three God Pillars. One is in the human kingdom, one is at the edge of the sky, and one is at Myriad Dragon Mountain. Elemental General, lead the army and conquer the edge of the sky."
"Yes!"
The Frost General roared, then his figure turned into a spiral and disappeared.
"Fu Yin, go and stop the humans from joining together again. Sow discord between them. After we defeat the Evil Dragon Emperor, we will destroy all the human kingdoms in one go."
Fu Yin lowered her head.
"Yes, Lord Demon King."
"The rest, Tonis, gather the dragons."
"Yes!"
The Demon King looked at the Queen Mother. The latter avoided his gaze with lingering fear.
"Gather the army you've been secretly building. I need them now."
Hearing this, the Mother Empress broke into a cold sweat. He actually knew about this.
However, she also heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he did not know about another matter, a more serious matter.
"Alright."
The Empress raised her head.
However, at this moment, a muffled sound came from the mountains in the distance. Everyone felt the earth shaking, and a very powerful force appeared on the horizon.
They looked into the distance, then back at the Demon King.
The Demon King looked in the direction of the enormous energy and said expressionlessly, "Act as ordered."
After saying that, he turned into a meteor with a tail of black smoke and flew toward the horizon.
On the scorched earth, rivers of lava could be seen everywhere. In the middle of the river of flames, there was a huge bone tomb. Giant skeletons could be seen everywhere in the flowing magma. Those were the skeletons of dragons. Flames could not burn them all. Although their bodies had died, their bones had been left behind in the world for thousands of years.
A black meteor suddenly appeared in the sky and arrived at this land of death at an extremely fast speed.
The Demon King stood on the tallest skeleton. Those were the remains of the Ancient Dragon King.
At this moment, the surrounding rivers of lava suddenly boiled, splashing out countless glowing rain of fire. The volcano not far away began to move. It was a giant dragon that was as large as a mountain. Red lava flowed on its dark red scales, and the huge lava glowed like lava.
Its eyes were even larger than a person's. It saw the black-clothed Demon King standing on the skeleton. He had two horns on his head and a strange tail on his back. Suddenly, a surprised voice rang out.
"Could it really be you! Lord Richard! "
The giant dragon's voice was like thunder in the sky. It was incomparably loud, and when it raised its head, a terrifying wind blew.
The Demon King stood in the wind, staring at that incomparably large monster.
"This aura, could it be you? Vargalo? "
As soon as his voice rang out, the surroundings quieted down. Those huge eyes suddenly closed, and then huge tears gushed out from the corners of the dragon's eyes like a fountain. They flowed onto the river of lava, producing a loud explosion and emitting a large amount of white mist.
The giant dragon was weeping. It raised its head and looked at the sky.
"It really is you. I didn't expect to see you again, great Demon King."
The Demon King was also shocked. He did not expect to see his former subordinate, the loyal Dragon King Vargalo.
"You've grown quite a bit."
"And you haven't changed at all. No …"
The giant dragon stared at the Demon King, blinking its huge eyes.
"You also seem to have changed. You've turned back into that iron-blooded Emperor. Ah, now you remind me of the past when we fought everywhere. That era before the world had decayed, the era of heroes. At that time, the Demon King was not a title that could be claimed by any random monkey who occupied a mountain. That was the King of Myriad Demons, the embodiment of fear that slaughtered countless lives. At that time, any random person with a title would be stronger than the current Demon King. Sigh ~ Everything declined from the day you disappeared. "
The giant dragon sighed.
The Demon King did not know how much he had experienced, but he was very interested.
"What happened in the past thousand years? Why did the world change so much?"
He asked.
The Ancient Dragon King Vargalo took a deep breath, and all the smoke in the surroundings flew into his mouth.
"The world was cleansed, and the past was forgotten. Everything changed. This world began to merge with other worlds. Countless new faces appeared, and the ancient power began to fade. Heroes appeared one after another, and so did the Demon King. Everything was not the original world. Seven days after you disappeared, the world was baptized by the seven suns. All kinds of terrifying disasters appeared all over the world. The races that survived chose to forget the pain of the past, and wrote a false history. They foolishly fought each other and tarnished this world. You also felt it, right? The magic in the world is becoming more and more turbid. If this continues, the world will continue to decline until all life disappears. "
The old dragon's words made the Demon King sigh. To him, the past thousand years did not feel real at all, but the truth was in front of him. He had no choice but to believe the other party's words.
The Demon King sighed and said: "The world will not perish because of this, and the continuation of life will not stop. This is not something you and I need to pay attention to."
Hearing this, the Ancient Dragon Vargalo blinked and fell silent. The Demon King continued: "Since the Evil Dragon Emperor is you, then things will be easy. Vargalo, I need the Demon King's power to break the shackles of this world. Give me your Demon King's power."
He reached out his hand, but the Ancient Dragon King was still in deep thought.
After a while, he opened his mouth and looked straight at the Demon King: "I refuse."
