Capítulo 1072: Chapter 56: The Demon King’s Goodwill
Following Held’s invitation, everyone present fell into silence.
Held did not speak but waited with a smile for everyone’s response. Lu Hong silently grumbled in his heart, while the four old n truly sunk into contemplation.
Lu Hong looked at the four old n in surprise: “Hey, hey, hey, what are you four considering? Do you really plan to side with the Hell Demons?”
Upon hearing this, Suo Wuchang slightly raised his head, glanced at Lu Hong, and said: “Kid, stop bothering us!”
“Damn! Do you really intend to do that?!” Lu Hong looked at the four people before him in shock: “Do you know how low the transformation rate into demons is? Moreover, once you beco a demon, you are no longer human. Is this sothing you still need to consider?”
In response to Lu Hong’s question, Held was not bothered at all, and Luo Haibin replied: “If we humans cannot defeat the Fierce Beasts and are trapped in this domain waiting for resources to dwindle, while the beasts establish their vassal forces, our Human Race will only end up as their servants. If that is the outco, I would rather transform into a Hell Demon and wipe out all the Fierce Beasts, restoring peace to the Nine Domains.”
“Moreover, not all humans have to beco demons. We can leave behind half of the human fire, and I believe the Demon King will not mind this, right?”
Hearing Tianma Hang’s inquiry, Held nodded with a smile: “As I just ntioned, the origin of demons and humans share the sa branch, so I do not force this transformation into demons. Likewise, I also prefer the continuation of the human fire. Of course, this transformation into demons is a last resort. The strength of the Fierce Beasts cannot be changed by human power alone. Therefore, my Hell Demon Clan no longer hides in the Constant Domain in a precarious existence but stands up, raising the banner of resistance against the Fierce Beasts. Hence, I hope more people will be willing to beco demons, join the Demon Army, and resist the Fierce Beasts, driving out those who view us as ants from the Nine Domains, or even… annihilate them completely!”
It must be said, Held’s words were very compelling. Had it not been for witnessing the infernal furnace-like hellscape, Lu Hong might have considered the possibility of this plan.
“How about this, Demon King, may we have a little more ti to think? Although we four elder folks have significant influence among the Human Race, we do not represent all humans. Regarding the Demon Clan, I will faithfully convey the ssage, so every human in the Sky Domain becos aware of this matter, but whether or not they accept your grace to beco demons, Du cannot provide you with an accurate answer right now.”
Seeing the response from the Family Patriarch of the Dukeesa Family, Held nodded: “Naturally, this sudden visit of mine does not expect an imdiate answer from you. Of course, I can promise here and now, that even if the Human Race does not wish to join my side of Hell, I will still maintain the most basic goodwill towards humans, provided… that they do not beco the enemy of demons!”
After saying this, Held’s soul projection dispersed abruptly, as suddenly as it appeared, it vanished.
When the projection disappeared, the four people present said nothing. The Family Patriarch of the Dukeesa Family waved, and a Divine Lord ancestor sensed it, entered the room, and placed a hand on Lu Hong’s forehead.
Lu Hong was not foolish, he did not struggle to break free but allowed the other to release Divine Soul power, continuously cleansing him inside.
This lasted for more than ten minutes before the Divine Lord ancestor finally relaxed and said: “The other party did not leave a Divine Soul Mark, it seems he really left.”
Upon hearing this, the four old n finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Hong also spoke at the sa ti: “Do you really plan to beco demons?”
“Heh.”
This was the only response Lu Hong received—a cool laugh from the four.
Seeing their inexplicable attitude, Lu Hong scratched his head: “What do you guys really an?”
Luo Haibin gave Lu Hong a deep look and said: “What do you think? We are not fools; demons are demons, humans are humans. Even if both arose from the sa origin initially, they have beco two different races now. Furthermore, although the Hell Demon King speaks well, he must harbor ill intentions. I don’t believe he will tolerate the existence of humans. It’s clear to any outsider that his kind bears different intentions.”
“So you were just acting for him, weren’t you?”
“No.” Suo Wuchang continued, “We indeed are considering it, but unless we reach the absolute last resort, we will not make such a choice. After all, that would an giving up our identity as humans, and being born a human, at least we have our pride.”
The back-and-forth responses also left Lu Hong a bit bewildered, but after thinking it through, Lu Hong understood. The reason they spoke contradictory words is that there were no subjective factors influencing their consideration. Not becoming demons is based on the current survival conditions of the Human Race; considering becoming demons is a proposal when humanity reaches the last life-and-death mont. The two don’t conflict at all. Specific choices are made in specific circumstances, which makes perfect sense.
“Then next, we need to pay more attention to the battle between the demons and the Fierce Beasts.” Suo Wuchang took a sip of tea and said solemnly: “Gentlen, if the Fierce Beast lineage is defeated by Hell’s side, should we consider assisting the Fierce Beasts in fighting against the demons?”
This question, admittedly, was quite challenging and serious.
Yes, since the Hell Demons took the initiative to jump into the Nine Domains battlefield, entering this chaotic struggle, it is inevitable that they and the Fierce Beast lineage will decide a winner and a loser. Therefore, with the remaining strength preserved among us humans, we must try to gain sothing from the conflict between these two races.
“This question is not urgent. For over a year, the demons have been pinned down by the Fierce Beast lineage in the Constant Domain without extending the frontline, indicating that the demons’ power has reached a bottleneck. And with the increase in top-level Divine Lords deployed by the Fierce Beast lineage, the Hell Demons face defeat risks. It’s premature to discuss this issue now.” The Family Patriarch of the Dukeesa Family spoke to halt the potential continuation of the discussion, then turned to Lu Hong and said: “Friend, your friend Lock Fan has been rather irritable lately, and your wife Lando, I hear, is feeling lonely. Now that you’re here in Weyang City, if you don’t visit them, they might be heartbroken!”
This basically ant to get lost, implying that the upcoming conversation may not be suitable for him to hear.
Lu Hong did not mind the eviction. Although he cared for the Human Race, he was currently just an insignificant character among them, incapable of making any decisive impact. Besides, his main base was now in the Eighteen Realms, which probably никто бы и не поверил. Even if all the Human Race in the Nine Domains perished, his Star Sea power would still preserve the human fire. At the very least, he could ensure that the human fire would not be extinguished. As for other matters, they’d be left for these high-ranking humans to consider. He lacked the wherewithal to deal with it anyway.
Moreover, it had indeed been a long ti since he left Weyang City. Initially, Lando was left in Weyang City not because Lu Hong didn’t want to take her away, but because he knew the Family Patriarch of the Dukeesa Family wouldn’t agree. It was a crucial way to control Lu Hong. Thus, upon coming to Weyang City this ti, Lu Hong did not intend to take Lando away. Since that was the case, he might as well spend more ti with her in Weyang City!
Soon, accompanied by an Imperial Palace guard, Lu Hong arrived at the rear courtyard of the Imperial Palace and saw Lock Fan, who was already drunk. Seeing Lock Fan in such a state, Lu Hong felt quite a bit of regret.
Without waking him up, Lu Hong left directly and went to the place where Lando lived.
Seeing Lu Hong’s arrival, Lando first got angry and chased Lu Hong out, but Lu Hong shalessly scaled the wall back in. Over several rounds, it ended only when Lu Hong threw Lando onto the bed and leaped upon her.
Well, there’s no need to say more about what happened next.
