Chapter 212 All gods and demons are subjects!
"Why?"
"Why?!!"
Wan Wujiang's vision suddenly dimmed, and he murmured to himself.
In an instant, he aged countless years.
He didn't know how long he had been preparing for this imperial decree, nor how much effort he had put in.
But why, why did things repeatedly go against our wishes at the last moment?
Working for someone else's benefit?!
He couldn't understand many of the reasons behind it.
There's no point in thinking about it now.
All my hopes and dreams have come to nothing.
Ultimately, they were simply outmatched in skill.
Because of his near-innate level strength, even without his heart, he could still cling to life.
But he could no longer muster the strength to fight.
Gu Yun, who was standing in front of him, would definitely not let him go.
The word "death" was practically etched onto his forehead.
"Who...are you...?"
"Why is it that after all these years of working on the Emperor's Will, I know absolutely nothing about your plans?!"
Wan Wujiang once again raised his doubts, unwilling to give up.
Unfortunately.
Gu Yun is not a talkative person.
But no one is so kind as to waste time talking nonsense to a dying person.
They simply approached indifferently.
step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
...
Like a grim reaper wielding a scythe, it drew ever closer.
Ultimately, Wan Wujiang could not escape the shadow of death, and darkness began to encroach upon his surroundings.
The fear of being unable to perceive any information about his surroundings made him shudder.
As an emperor, how many years or how many times has he faced such a situation?
You asked him if he was afraid of dying?
He'll definitely stubbornly tell you that there's nothing to fear about death.
however.
How could someone who has lurked in the darkness for so many years not fear death?
The higher one's position and the more power one wields, the more one cherishes their life.
Those who claim they don't value their lives are just pretending.
Wan Wujiang forced down his anxiety and tried his best to keep his voice steady so that the fear hidden deep inside him wouldn't be so obvious.
"Cough cough... Even if you kill me, you won't be able to leave Canglan Star. As soon as I die, the Temple of War will soon arrive here."
"To them, a newly born demon is nothing more than a larger beast; you are destined to die with resentment..."
"this!"
Gu Yun paused, stopping in his tracks.
This gesture instantly ignited Wan Wujiang's business acumen, and he hurriedly said...
"We have no grudges against each other; we're just competitors on the same track."
"I admit defeat now. Just let me go, and I'll hand over all the intelligence I've gathered about the Heavenly Demon over the years. After all, you know the Heavenly Demon is the lord of all demons, and I'll be under your control too, as long as..."
"Pa-ta-!"
As Wan Wujiang spoke, his vision blurred for a moment, and in the instant he was completely swallowed by darkness, he saw the entirety of his own body.
This body, however, is headless.
Four words floated out intermittently from his throat.
"I...am not...willing...to...this..."
This was his first time.
He addressed those of equal strength as "朕" (Zhen, meaning "I" or "the Emperor"), but this was the last time he did so.
Werner pulled his hand out of Wan Wujiang's body and shook off the blood.
"Young Gu, aren't you going to wait a bit longer? Wouldn't killing him like this be too hasty?"
"Judging from what he said, it seems that the information about the Temple of War is related to whether he is alive or dead. After all, if he is alive, he is also a demon. He wouldn't still want to provoke the Temple of War, would he?"
Gu Yun withdrew the starlight power swirling in his hands, not even glancing at Wan Wujiang's body as it fell straight down.
Said lightly.
"I can't wait any longer, cough cough!"
"The Emperor's Will of Life and Death restricts me too much; with these injuries, I can't do anything."
"I must obtain the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will immediately."
"Otherwise, it may take half a month before there are any signs of improvement for a full recovery."
"Half a month...that's too long."
Gu Yun clutched his chest, no longer trying to hide his feelings from Werner.
His brows were furrowed, and his face showed pain.
Seeing this, Werner quickly transformed into a shadow and merged into Gu Yun's body to stabilize his injuries.
"But doesn't the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will require a certain base number?"
Gu Yun chuckled softly, shedding his Star Moon Demon persona and revealing his most primal form.
Black!
Black hair!
Black pupils!
Pale yellow skin!
The purest form of Earthly China!
Oh.
No, the pupils are already crimson because they have merged with the demon.
But! It's harmless!
"You'll have to ask it."
"Isn't the current base sufficient?"
Gu Yun looked ahead, where there was no one, and said calmly.
A moment later, a childish echo came through, tinged with displeasure.
"That's definitely not enough!"
"Didn't I tell you to stop? You've already taken so many lives, how can that be enough!"
"Deserve it!"
Gu Yun remained calm and spoke slowly.
"Xiao Tian, your ultimate task is to select the best candidate for the Heavenly Demon Emperor's will."
"That is, the strongest of the demon race."
"And now, the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will behind you must be able to directly feel my power, which is unprecedented."
"Can...!"
"Don't rush to refute me, listen to me."
Gu Yun took a deep breath and continued.
"I can understand the true meaning of the so-called demon population base. It is to protect the newly born Heavenly Demons."
"After seeing all the forms of power of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will, I realized that even Heavenly Demons need to grow. It's not that one can be invincible after condensing the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will. Otherwise, the previous generations of Heavenly Demons would not have perished. Among them, Wuji and Balance are the most obvious examples."
"Right."
Xiao Tian: ...
"The Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will is a unique imperial will that sacrifices and eliminates the possibility of the entire demon race. It is no exaggeration to say that the Heavenly Demon is the heaven of the demon race. It carries the weight of the entire demon race on its shoulders. The stronger the demon race is, the stronger the imperial will becomes."
"The reason for having a certain number of demons as a condition is probably to ensure the abilities of newly born Heavenly Demons, which is equivalent to protecting novices, so that they are not killed at the beginning, and then you are given a hundred years to choose and wait for the next Heavenly Demon."
Xiao Tian said indignantly.
"You know that's good! Then why did you..."
Gu Yun decisively interrupted Xiao Tian, his demeanor completely unlike that of a seriously injured person.
"I do not need."
"I don't need this kind of beginner protection."
"My uniqueness can be sensed by both you and the true Heavenly Demon Emperor's will."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have given in to my many unreasonable demands."
“Even though I killed so many demon envoys and disrupted the Heavenly Demon's plans, you only said a few words of dissatisfaction to me.”
"I know that programs are static."
"Only when certain conditions are met can a Heavenly Demon be born among the Demon Race."
"But, can my uniqueness meet the cardinality condition in advance? I think the strongest one doesn't need further identification."
Xiao Tian fell silent after hearing Gu Yun's words.
Gu Yun slowly raised her head, looking at the azure sky, and uttered each word carefully.
"Xiao Tian."
"kindness?"
"For hundreds of years, even the previous generations of Heavenly Demons probably never had the desire to go to the Upper Realm and expand their territory."
"kindness?!"
"you......"
"I want to subdue all the gods and demons of the upper realm..."
"Do they all bow down and submit to you?"
"?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
