Countless beams of green light soared into the sky, transforming into pillars of emerald light that pierced the heavens before slowly dissipating.

The earth trembled, the forests mourned, and cracks appeared in the air out of thin air.

Amidst these green pillars, the Demon God Emperor stood silently, watching a distant, illusory green figure.

“Stop struggling. The Dream Temple has already been destroyed by me, and this Dream Paradise is about to collapse. The Elf Dragon is also dead at my hands. Even if you take away its Elf Heart, it won’t help. The Elf Dragon’s Elf Heart is the best healing medicine, comparable to resurrection. Alas, it’s useless to you. I know, you are the deity left behind by the Goddess of Nature. You should feel honored to merge into my soul.”

Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu’s voice was very gentle. Spatial rifts surrounded his body, but these rifts could not affect him in any way. The distant green figure became clearer and clearer, and the aura of life emanating from the green pillars grew weaker and weaker.

“Don’t dream. Even if I detonate the deity, I won’t give it to you,” Ye Xiaolei’s icy voice was filled with loathing. Her home destroyed, and the Elf Dragon, who had guarded the Dream Temple for so many years, killed by the Demon God Emperor, the hatred in her heart had reached its peak.

The Demon God Emperor smiled slightly and said, “Do you think you can still detonate the deity? In front of me, any futile effort is in vain. I am already a demigod. Even if you detonate the deity, I can reshape it and absorb it into my body. I am the master here. You are just using the spatial rifts that appeared after the Dream Paradise shattered to buy some time. I have waited so many years; I have the patience.”

Ye Xiaolei fell silent. She knew very well that the Demon God Emperor was telling the truth. He was too powerful. When he killed the Elf Dragon, he had already controlled everything.

When Ye Xiaolei, who was sleeping in the Dream Temple, felt the Elf Dragon’s death in battle, it was already too late. Dream Paradise was her home, her roots were here. Like a fruit growing on a heavenly tree, if the tree withered, she would only have the fate of being picked or dying. Undoubtedly, the Demon God Emperor was waiting to pick her, this fruit.

Can he save me? Ye Xiaolei’s heart was filled with sorrow. She didn’t know. Even if he really came, could he save me from the Demon God Emperor? The Demon God Emperor was so powerful that even if the Goddess of Nature could reshape her form and stand here, she might not be able to defeat him. After all, the Goddess of Nature was not a deity skilled in warfare!

The Demon God Emperor stood with his hands behind his back, silently feeling the aura of life erupting within the Dream Paradise. His spiritual power cultivation had reached the point of returning to simplicity. Although these auras of life were incompatible with his own darkness, they could not affect him in any way.

If one were to look down from the distant sky, they would find that within a hundred miles, a layer of faint purplish-black enveloped everything. No aura could escape within this range. Therefore, even the Zhennan Pass, which was not far from here, had not noticed any anomalies. Even if they did, what could they do? Who could stop the current Demon God Emperor?

Looking up at the sky, the Demon God Emperor suddenly felt a little irritated, because his mood was momentarily confused.

Is he really not dead? The shocking news filled his mind. Although the Star Demon God repeatedly assured him that Long Haochen’s aura had long disappeared, he had felt heavy-hearted ever since hearing the news.

Of course, he didn’t believe that Long Haochen was not dead. With his cultivation, he knew too well whether that finger had truly detonated Long Haochen’s heart. There was no possibility of any accident.

Could it be that a necromancer turned him into a undead?

Thinking of this, a sharp glint flashed in the Demon God Emperor’s eyes. No matter how much he wanted Long Haochen to die, he still had a special affection for Long Haochen. Only he could hurt him. If a necromancer dared to turn him into a undead, the Demon God Emperor would make him experience what it meant to be worse than dead. And he would make him suffer for thousands of years, refining his soul to death.

After all, he was so outstanding! Thinking of Long Haochen, the Demon God Emperor felt a deep sense of helplessness. Even Austin Griffin was able to form a blood contract with him. This was not just talent. Although the Demon God Emperor did not know the process, he could guess that Long Haochen must have succeeded under some special circumstances.

If it weren’t for Austin Griffin, could he have persuaded him to finally submit to the demons, or even become his successor?

Perhaps not. That little guy was too stubborn. He should have taken him back to the demon clan when he first met him and started to change his mind from that time. Perhaps there would have been some chance.

Thinking of this, the Demon God Emperor suddenly felt a sense of relief and sadness, because he suddenly remembered that after Long Haochen died, he clearly felt that the blood flowing in Long Haochen’s body that belonged to him gradually faded and disappeared. And until now, there had been no recurrence.

As the demon emperor, the patriarch of the Reverse Dragon clan, the Demon God Emperor had a strong sense of his direct bloodline. For example, A Bao, for example, Leng Xiao, were always in his perception. Even when they became stronger or weaker, the Demon God Emperor could feel it. But the bloodline aura belonging to Long Haochen had long disappeared without a trace.

He was already dead after all! However, the news of his appearance still had to be investigated thoroughly. Could it be that humans actually allowed the existence of necromancers and allowed that necromancer to use Long Haochen’s body? No, that should be impossible.

The more the Demon God Emperor thought, the more confused he became. However, he was, after all, a generation of strong men, with one foot already across the threshold of godhood. He quickly stabilized his emotions and refocused on the situation before him.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Since his cultivation broke through a million spiritual power, he had been searching for the existence of a deity. Only by using a deity could he completely eliminate the divine backlash that appeared in his body and become a true god who was not restricted by this plane. At that time, there would be nothing to restrain him. For him, this was also a remarkable opportunity. Because even humans in this world, if they cultivated to a million spiritual power, could only condense their own deity to become a god. After becoming a god, their will would gradually dissipate, spreading throughout the heavens and the earth, able to perceive everything, able to control everything, but no longer have a body, and could no longer affect the balance of the world.

But he was different. The demons came from other planes, which gave him the possibility of not having to abide by the rules of this world. But he also could not produce a deity on his own.

Thinking of this, the Demon God Emperor’s heart suddenly became hot. Today he would definitely succeed. After success, he would be an unprecedented god in this plane. At that time, how could humans not surrender? After unifying this plane, perhaps it was time to return to his original plane to see how it was now.

The green light grew dimmer and dimmer, and the pure and lovely Ye Xiaolei gradually appeared completely in the illusory green light. She was standing a hundred meters away from the Demon God Emperor.

Spatial rifts began to close and disappear. A vast aura of life quietly spread throughout this vast forest, but it could not break through the Demon God Emperor’s seal.

“What a comfortable aura of life! Alas, it’s not suitable for me.” The Demon God Emperor smiled and walked towards Ye Xiaolei step by step.

Ye Xiaolei stood there quietly, her eyes fixed on the Demon God Emperor. Her fair little hands had unconsciously clenched. Biting her lip, watching the tall, handsome, yet evil figure walking towards her step by step, she stood there without moving.

The Dream Temple was destroyed, and the Dream Paradise was gone. From this moment on, she had completely lost her home. Recalling the reluctance in the Elf Dragon’s mind when it died, two lines of tears flowed down Ye Xiaolei’s face.

It’s gone, everything is gone.

The Demon God Emperor walked slowly to a stop ten meters away from her and extended his hand to Ye Xiaolei. “Come on, come with me. Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you. As long as you sincerely become my deity, I can even not erase your memory. Following me will allow you to witness many wonders and incredible things. It will also make the Holy Demon Continent have a true god.”

Ye Xiaolei stared intently at the Demon God Emperor. In the depths of the Demon God Emperor’s eyes, she even saw a trace of sincerity. Having reached the Demon God Emperor’s realm, he had long put down all darkness. To him, many things that seemed very important to ordinary people were no longer important. His pursuit was completely at another level.

“I have waited for a long time and don’t want to wait any longer. I hope to get a conscious deity, so at least I won’t be lonely in the next thousand or ten thousand years. Don’t you think so? In fact, many times, joy and sorrow are only temporary. Time will dilute everything. When you follow me and see more different worlds, you will inevitably forget everything in the past. Come on, come with me. I believe you won’t regret it.”

The Demon God Emperor’s voice was very gentle, and a faint smile always adorned his face. His eyes were even filled with tenderness, like a father calling out to his daughter.

Ye Xiaolei’s eyes gradually became blurred. Finally, she raised her left foot and slowly took a step, then walked towards the Demon God Emperor at an extremely slow pace.

The smile on the Demon God Emperor’s face grew even thicker. An obedient deity was much easier to fuse with than a rebellious one. Naturally, the benefits to his realm consolidation were completely different. Of course, the words he said to Ye Xiaolei were also from the bottom of his heart and completely sincere. Because of this, the hypnotic effect was the best. He had never regarded Ye Xiaolei as a threat. Once she merged into his power, she would be even less of a threat. What did it matter if he retained her will?
