Chapter 801: Prelude to the Holy War (III)

The Demon God Emperor’s gaze was still cold. He did not feel pained over the death of a demon god at all, since he could just nurture a new one. However, the Demon God Pillars were the true foundations of the Demon race, just like the frame that held up the entire race. Three Demon God Pillars had already been destroyed. It did not seem like much, but what if this continued? What would happen after a decade or two? Would more Demon God Pillars be destroyed?

“Vassago.” The Demon God Emperor shifted his gaze from the Moon Demon God to the Star Demon God.

Vassago nodded, “After receiving the news, I performed a prophecy immediately that was only about whether Austin Griffin had appeared or not. It should be accurate. The person who destroyed the Demon God Pillar was Long Haochen, but for some reason, I could sense an aura of life from his body. He’s not an undead like what the Prophecy of Life had foretold.”

With that, the Demon God Emperor had instead become relieved. He nodded, “That actually makes sense. Long Haochen saved Ye Xiaolei, while Ye Xiaolei is a clone that the Goddess of Nature had left behind. She’s basically the existence with the strongest vitality. With her, Long Haochen really might be able to recover his heart. At least, she will give Long Haochen a very powerful aura of life.”

Vassago understood, “Is that so? No wonder.”

After the Prophecy of Life last time, the Demon God Emperor’s trust in the Star Demon God’s prophecies increased. With his accurate judgement, the Demon God Emperor’s complexion became slightly better.

As long as Austin Griffin really had died back then, there was no need for him to take Long Haochen so seriously. However, Long Haochen still needed to die. He was an existence who possessed part of Austin Griffin’s bloodline. Once he had grown to a level where he was beyond control, he would be able to deal a fatal strike to the demons.

“Your majesty, do we still follow the original plan?” The Demon God of Death Samigina asked politely.

The Demon God Emperor furrowed his brows, “Are we all prepared?”

Samigina nodded, “In three days at most, the army will be completely organised. Although there aren’t as many soldiers as the holy war last time, but the army of a million organised this time are all elites of their respective clans. Under your majesty’s lead, they can definitely tear through all obstacles.”

The Demon God Emperor nodded, “Alright. Let’s follow the plan for now. Agares, I want accurate news of the north within the next three days.”

“Yes, your majesty,” Agares answered politely.

“Then we can disperse. Everyone make your preparations.” The Demon God Emperor stood up and waved his hand, turning around and making his way to the back of the palace. Ah’Bao who had been standing beside him hurried behind him. However, after having heard Long Haochen’s name once more, Ah’Bao could not help but clench his fists.

With the Demon God Emperor’s departure, the demon gods present immediately relaxed. Their expressions were no longer as tense as before. They notified familiar demon gods as they left the Demon Emperor Palace.

The Star Demon God Vassago was obviously with the Moon Demon God Agares. The two demon goes left the Demon Emperor Palace slowly, while they seemed rather stern.

“Third brother, what do you think?” As they walked, Agares asked Vassago. Although this was within Modu, they still communicated with each other secretly. With their cultivation, even the Demon God Emperor could not eavesdrop on them.

Vassago frowned and shook his head gently.

Agares was just too familiar with him. As soon as Agares saw his expression, he was surprised, “You’re not optimistic about our army? There’s still a fundamental difference between the humans’ strength compared to ours. His majesty’s made up his mind this time as well. Won’t we be able to destroy the humans?”

Vassago sighed, “Second brother, don’t you still remember what I had said after I had used the Great Prophecy Technique for Long Hachen and Austin Griffin in the past? Long Haochen’s existence completely threatens the reign of our race. That time was also our only chance.”

He purposefully stressed the word ‘only’, such that even Agares could not help but gasp.

“Are you saying that Long Haochen’s already become a proper threat?”

Vassago nodded, “According to the news from the north, it’s very likely that Long Haochen has received the recognition of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, the leading divine throne of the six. This divine throne has never chosen a master in the past six thousand years. Ever since it descended, it had only served as a symbolic purpose. This proves a lot of issues. And, it’s user is Long Haochen as well. That’s not all. I suspect that Austin Griffin is still alive. Long Haochen can survive like this, so why can’t Austin Griffin do the same? Since Austin Griffin can b reborn, its vitality will definitely be extremely powerful. And, according to my research about blood pacts, even if the contractor survive once the blood pact has ended, the power of the pact will gradually weaken. However, Long Haochen has used the power of Austin Griffin’s bloodline to destroy the Tree Demon God’s Demon God Pillar, so how can the power of his bloodline be weak? And, during the prophecy this time, I sensed a great power by Long Haochen’s side supporting him.”

Agares was completely shocked, “Third brother, why didn’t you say so before his majesty earlier?”

Vassago smiled indifferently, “Why would I mention it? Even if I do, would his majesty believe me? If I mention it before so many demon gods, he might even blame me for making our morale waver. I’ve already died once. I don’t want to die again.”

When he reached there, cold light flashed through the bottom of his eyes. Who knew what he was thinking.

Agares fell quiet as well. He patted Vassago’s shoulder gently, “Third brother, go back and rest well. We might be setting off in the next few days.” With that, he strided away.

Looking at Agares’ back, Vassago sighed, “Second brother, oh second brother. Do you really think I don’t know anything? If you hadn’t, for my sake…”

He shook his head firmly and Vassago let out a long sigh once more, before turning around. As he left, he continued to think.

Agares directly returned to his Moon Demon Palace. After returning to his residence in the back, he sat on the throne he usually liked the most and closed his eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Exactly fifteen minutes later, he seemed to have decided something. He suddenly stood up and arrived before a bookshelf. He pulled out an inconspicuous book from the bookshelf.

Immediately, the bookshelf produced a gentle squeaking sound and shifted to the left slowly. It made almost no sound, but in just around a quarter of a minute, a secret door appeared behind the bookshelf. After he had entered it, the bookshelf closed up automatically and the drawn book returned to its original position.

Gentle, purple light rose up from Agares’ body. It illuminated pitch-black tunnel. He walked over around a dozen meters before going down a flight of stairs, before there was light.

“Who is it?” A stifled voice rang out.

“It’s me.” Agares said differently.

A figure covered in black clothes appeared before him silently.

“How’s the situation?”

Agares and the person in black entered a gloomy room. The arrangement of the room were very simple. There was a bed, a table and two chairs. Some food was placed on the table.

Agares did not sit down. He stood in the room, “The situation is very delicate, so it’s difficult to say right now. However, according to Vassago, the Demon God Emperor’s operation this time might not succeed. Vassago had stressed that the plan that targeted Long Haochen and the Bright Glimmer of Hope had been their only chance of success. Now that Long Haochen is still alive, so it means that they’ve used up all their chances. In other words, it’s very likely that the demons will begin to decline.”

“Is Vassago trustworthy?” The person in black asked seriously.

Agares nodded, “He should be trustworthy. That was what he said back then, and Vassago has always been on good terms with me. I even suspect he knows a few things. I need to find an opportunity and properly discuss matters with him.”

“Then what should we do?” The person in black asked again.

Agares pondered the question and answered, “According to the Demon God Emperor’s original plan, we were supposed to advance westward after gathering the army and destroy the Southeastern Fort that’s the closest to our core city, and then continue west, deep into the union’s territory. We will directly kill our way to the Holy City, so the Temple Union is forced to battle us in Holy City. At that time, Long Haochen will definitely return. We will achieve everything in a single stroke and completely cripple the humans in Holy City. At the same time, we will use this holy war as an opportunity to pillage the humans. Not only will we steal their wealth, we have to kidnap a large number of humans as well, such that the humans will lose everything they’ve accumulated over the past few thousand years. We will then spare the humans. We will retreat after draining everything the humans have. Of course, during the process of the war, we have to kill a leading figures of the humans. The first on the list is Long Haochen.”

“That is a good idea. It’s simple and straightforward, suppressing the humans with absolute strength and without any underhanded methods. Is the Demon God Emperor going to change his plans after finding out the Tree Demon God has fallen in battle?” The person in black asked.

Agares shook his head, “At least he hasn’t changed his mind yet. This plan is definitely the most beneficial to the humans. Do you know why the Demon God Emperor had gathered over fifty demon gods in Modu? And why he’s got them to bring their Demon God Pillars?”

The person in black was surprised. He answered, “Isn’t it to gather strength to declare war against the Temple Union?”

Agares sneered, “Others might not know, but how can I not know? The Demon God Emperor treats Long Haochen with a kind of fear. What he’s most afraid of right now is actually Long Haochen just leading his Bright Glimmer of Hope deep into the territory of the demons and specially targeting us demon gods. There’s nothing he can do if that does happen.”
