A burst of orange light suddenly cascaded down from the top of the Star Demon God Pillar, illuminating the ground. An orange figure appeared in the center of the light.

He was sitting cross-legged in mid-air. The orange robe made him look no different from an ordinary Star Demon. However, he had a pair of eyes that seemed to see through everything. The deep eyes were the color of yellow crystals, and if you looked closely, you could see the endless night sky in his eyes.

His long hair was draped over his back, and he floated there quietly, his handsome face looking a little pale. He had a special temperament, the same as the Star Demon God Pillar.

Even though it was the first time they had seen him, the members of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad all had a name in their hearts: Star Demon God, Vassago.

An ominous premonition instantly rose to the extreme in everyone’s heart. The Star Demon God Vassago actually appeared here, and at the same time, they lost the ability to summon Haoyue. What did this mean? It meant that this was originally a trap.

Long Haochen blurted out almost immediately, “Yueye.” Yes, the problem must have been with Yueye. He couldn’t imagine that this was really a trap. He couldn’t even think of Yueye showing even the slightest flaw. At this moment, his body was soaked in cold sweat.

However, even in such an unfavorable situation, Long Haochen was still able to barely maintain his composure. Without any hesitation, he immediately mobilized his spiritual power and mental power, and fully activated the Eternal Melody at his chest.

Intense golden light burst out from his chest in an instant, enveloping himself and all his companions.

The members of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad naturally knew what he was going to do, and hurried to gather around him. They had no intention of fighting at all. The appearance of the Star Demon God Vassago proved that their plan had failed. In that case, they could only leave as soon as possible. As long as they could return to the Eternal Tower, they would have a chance to make a comeback.

The golden light bloomed and then converged. Did everything disappear in this transmission?

The Star Demon God Vassago quietly watched Long Haochen activate the Eternal Melody, but did not stop him at all. His gaze was still so calm, and seemed to carry a faint trace of sadness and melancholy. His face also looked paler. He couldn’t help but cough lightly.

The golden light disappeared, but the people did not disappear with it.

Long Haochen, Cai’er, Lin Xin, Wang Yuanyuan, and all the members of the Dawn of Light Demon Hunt Squad were still standing in the same place they were before, still in the Star Demon God’s Star Demon Tower, still in front of the Star Demon God and his Star Demon God Pillar. They did not leave in the transmission, nor did they disappear in the transmission.

“Not good.” As the others’ expressions changed, Han Yu had already crashed into the Star Demon Tower gate behind him at a rapid speed. The transmission had failed. Although they didn’t know what the Star Demon God Vassago had done, it was clear that they couldn’t leave through transmission here. Even though everyone understood that they had fallen for a trap, and one that might lead to their doom, they still had to fight at this moment, not willing to give up even the slightest chance.

“Boom—” Han Yu slammed into the tower gate, but his body was bounced back even faster. A layer of soft, dark gold luster also lit up throughout the Star Demon Tower at any time.

On the ground, on the walls, all the dark gold magic patterns emitted a brilliant light at this moment, illuminating the entire Star Demon God Tower.

The strange elemental fluctuations actually made them unable to feel any dark aura, but at this moment, Long Haochen clearly felt that they were in a cage. A cage that they could not break out of no matter what.

His heart had already sunk to the bottom. At this moment, Long Haochen already understood that they probably wouldn’t be spared today. However, he couldn’t understand how he had fallen into such a trap, a trap that seemed impossible.

“I know you are unwilling, and you don’t understand.” The Star Demon God Vassago said lightly, “Among humans, you are undoubtedly an outstanding existence. In fact, even if you are destined to die here today, you can be proud of your death. Because, in order to kill you without any accidents, my clan has mobilized almost all of its power. From the moment the Holy War began, this plan began. A plan launched with tens of millions of people is slowly unfolding. No matter how smart you are, with your strong abilities and inheritance of light, you will eventually come here, enter my Star Demon Tower, and end this plan.”

Long Haochen took a deep breath. Faced with desperation, his heart gradually calmed down. As the saying goes, nothing is more disheartening than a dead heart. He understood that the demons had set up such a big game, and it was impossible to leave them even the slightest chance. In that case, even if he was going to die here, he would do his best to fight the enemy, and do his best to make his death more valuable.

“I’d like to hear the details.” Long Haochen’s voice also became indifferent, his eyes fixed on the Star Demon God floating in the air.

Vassago’s eyes showed admiration, “You are worthy of me telling you this process. You are the only human I have ever seen who has such qualifications.”

“The moment you entered the Star Demon Tower, this plan came to a perfect end. And this entire process, I actually saw it long ago. I saw it several years ago.”

“Do you think Yueye lied to you? That she led you into this trap?” Vassago said with a smile, his tone losing some of its indifference and gaining some vitality.

Long Haochen said coldly, “Isn’t it?”

Vassago shook his head and said, “Of course not. If she had been lying to you all along, how could you not have noticed with your keen perception? At least subconsciously, you would feel danger. It is precisely because everything is real that you will eventually be fooled. Yueye is only a part of this plan. Even now, she has no idea that you have fallen into this trap that we launched with the power of the entire clan.”

Long Haochen was slightly stunned, “Yueye didn’t lie to me? She is also one of the deceived? You knew about our cooperation with her long ago?”

Vassago shook his head again, “We didn’t know anything. She exposed herself. Her Yueye Chamber of Commerce is not a monolith after all. In fact, it’s not difficult to make her believe in us. The difficult thing is to make you believe, to make you follow our plan step by step, and come here. Because, a God-Chosen like you has a strong sense of danger by nature. Even if there are slight changes on our side during the development of the plan, it will arouse your vigilance. And I believe that you are a very careful and cautious human. Once you discover any clues, your plan will not continue at all, right?”

Long Haochen said lightly, “However, I still fell into your trap.”

Vassago said, “That’s because this trap is too perfect. Almost everything you see is real. Including what Yueye told you, that my cultivation is only one-tenth of what it was at its peak is also true. His Majesty the Demon God Emperor and the Moon Demon God leading many demon gods to the Exorcist Pass is also true. This Holy War was caused by you is also true. It is precisely because of so many real combinations that you will not notice anything. That’s why you came here.”

Long Haochen was stunned, “Your strength is only one-tenth of what it was is true? Aren’t you afraid that we will kill you now? Even if I can’t summon Haoyue, can’t leave here through transmission, and can’t destroy your Demon God Pillar. But as long as we kill you, our death will also be worth it.”

Vassago smiled slightly and said, “You’re wrong. For you, it’s not worth it. If my life can be exchanged for your life, it’s actually a profit for my clan, a big profit, because you are the only one in the six thousand years since my clan descended on the Holy Demon Continent who has the potential to subvert us. Continuing to let you become stronger, then one day, you will become the enemy of my clan’s life and death. Therefore, for you, I launched the Great Prophecy Spell at the cost of my life force, the real Great Prophecy Spell.”

“In the Great Prophecy Spell, I saw many, many things. Although this cost me a hundred years of life force, it is worth it for the future of the demons. I saw your astonishing growth rate, saw the way you killed my clansmen, and also saw the process of you inevitably going to the Exorcist Pass and eventually coming here. Although I can’t see everything clearly, even after you came here, my Great Prophecy Spell still has a subtle change. But I can feel that this is the only opportunity to kill you, and also the only opportunity to kill Austin Griffin. If I can’t kill you this time, then what I see is the twilight of my clan. Therefore, no matter what, you can only stay here today, forever.”

“God-Chosen of the Goddess of Light, in fact, if it was just you, it wouldn’t pose such a huge threat to my clan. Actually, what we want to kill is only Austin Griffin. Even now, with our absolute strength, we are still unwilling to face it, because only it has the ability to tear open the barrier here. We don’t want even the slightest possibility of deviation, so you are here, but it can’t come. As long as you die, even if its bloodline is strong, it can only go with you. You brought it to this world, so its life will inevitably be ended by you. Are you very curious about what it is? Why are we so afraid of it, not just me, but even His Majesty is also worried about its existence.”
