Chapter 801: The Demon God Breaks Free, the Gods Begin to Carry Out Their Plans
‘Cooperating with the gods?’
Luo Shui only had four words to say about this. ‘In your f*cking dreams!’
‘Among all the gods that have been sealed away, which one of their hands is not tainted with human blood?’
‘If we cooperate with them, then what would that make of the human’s sacrifice?’
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial took a deep breath and replied, “Luo Shui, you have been shackled too much by the chains of the past. If everyone were to be trapped in the past like you, how could Firmament Star progress towards the future?!”
“Those are not chains but reminders! Reminders that will forever inspire our human race to keep improving ourselves! Heavenly Golden, if you can throw away this part of our history so easily, then the human race’s future is certainly doomed.”
Luo Shui said with a stern tone.
“Anyway, my decision is final. It’ll be best if you guys can agree to this and work alongside me. However, it doesn’t matter even if you object to this. Our cooperation with the gods is going to happen anyway,” Heavenly Golden said indifferently.
“Heavenly Golden, aren’t you afraid of being shunned by the human race?”
“When I lead the Firmament Star towards a prosperous future, the only thing they shall remember about me will be my great deeds. They shall see me as their king!”
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said.
“King? You’re intending to proclaim yourself king?” The First Tormentor was taken aback.
“Is that a problem?”
“In my heart, there is only one King.” The First Tormentor looked at Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial and sneered. “Compared to our King, you’re like a tiny firefly beneath the bright full moonlight. Do you possibly think someone like you is worthy of being our king?”
“If you want to cooperate with the gods, that’s your business. However, I’ll have you know, we Heavenly Tormentors will never see eye to eye with them. If one of them appears, we shall kill them off straight away. This is the mission bestowed upon us by our King.”
When he was done speaking, the First Tormentor disappeared into the void.
Following that, the Transcendental Daoist Celestial, Luo Shui, and others left one after another.
Soon.
The entire palace was empty.
Only the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial was left standing there silently. He then slammed his fist fiercely against a pillar nearby.
“What a bunch of narrow-minded fools!”
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial opened his eyes with a very indifferent expression.
“Tsk. It looks like your position isn’t as high and mighty among your peers as you think, Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial.”
Laughter rang out as a man in black robes suddenly appeared. There was a golden scale on his forehead.
That person was a Scaled Tribe member.
It was commonly known that the highest cultivation level among the Scaled Tribe was only Emperors.
However, that Scaled Tribe member was not at all formal before the Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial. Instead, he had a playful look on his face.
“You shut your mouth, Sea God. Otherwise, I wouldn’t mind calling off my cooperation with the gods.” The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial snorted coldly.
The Sea God shrugged. “Alright, alright. I’ll stop.”
“Are you adapting to this body well?”
“Hmph. The Scaled Tribe is a race of beings that my divine power produced. Besides, this Scaled Tribe member has refined my divine fragment too. Although my main body is not here, I can now unleash seventy to eighty percent of my full power.”
“Very well. I shall leave the sealed Venerable Gods to you then.”
The Heavenly Golden Daoist Celestial said.
Although he had freed a few gods in the last few days, those gods were beings below a Venerable God’s level. As for the sealed Venerable Gods, it would require him a tremendous amount of power to free them. Hence, he decided to leave that task to the Sea God.
“Fine with me. Also, how do you plan to deal with the seal on the Godly Mountain?”
The Sea God asked.
He could not help but reveal a serious expression at the mention of the Godly Mountain seal. That was because it was a seal placed by the Human King himself.
Even a Venerable God could hardly destroy it.
After all, the being sealed inside the Godly Mountain was none other than the King of Gods himself!
“Since the Godly Mountain Seal was placed by the Human King, only he would be able to unlock it. As such, I’ve been busy collecting some relics of the Human King over the years. These relics still contain the power of the Human King and can be used to break the seal on the Godly Mountain. I’ve left this matter in the hands of someone else.”
“Oh, is it that person?”
“That’s right. He’s the only one in Firmament Star who can do it.”
“Hmph. The demigod who was defeated by the Human King? It has been so many years. I wonder how much stronger he has gotten ever since.”
The Sea God was looking forward to it a little.
In the meantime.
In the Demonic Realm.
Demon Emperor Pride arrived at a deep chasm located somewhere in the Demonic Realm and looked at the deep chasm in front of him with a fanatical expression.
That place was the forbidden area of the Demonic Realm, the Underworld!
Rumors had it that the ancestral god of the Demonic Realm was sealed here.
Today, he had come here to free that being.
He had prepared for several years to do this.
With that, he slammed his palm onto the ground, where several strands of blood-colored Daoist patterns appeared and intertwined, forming a gigantic formation technique.
Bursts of bloody mists suddenly surged and gathered from the surroundings.
Countless pieces of withered bones emerged from the blood mists.
Those were the remains of living beings from the Demonic Realm.
They were the ones that Demon Emperor Pride had killed over the years.
“Demon God of the Underworld!”
“I offer you the lives of a hundred million beings of the Demonic Realm as a sacrifice! Please bless me with your presence!”
Boom, boom, boom…
The whole chasm rumbled violently.
Following that, countless blood mists poured into it, causing some of the golden Daoist patterns to gradually disintegrate. In return, gusts of black mist poured out from it.
“The seal is broken. It’s finally gone.”
“Haha, we’re finally free…”
Sounds of great laughter rang throughout the whole Demonic Realm.
Along with a loud explosion, the golden Daoist Patterns that surrounded the whole Underworld shattered, and a pillar of dark qi immediately shot into the sky!
The whole Demonic Realm trembled as if it would crumble at any time.
An indomitable figure with black hair walked out from the pillar of qi with an overbearing divine power aura emanating all over his body.
That divine power was similar to demonic qi.
Demon Emperor Pride could not help but kneel on the ground. “All hail the supreme Demon God!”
Demon God, the god of the Demonic Realm!
Every living being in the Demonic Realm existed because of this god.
Demon Emperor Pride knew it from reading the ancient archives.
The records said that the demons used to be humans in the past. However, they eventually turned into demons because they were influenced by the Demon God’s divine power.
The Demon God created the whole demon race with just the influence of his divine power.
Demon Emperor Pride did not dare to imagine how terrifying such a being could be.
“Y-you’ve done well.”
The Demon God looked at Demon Emperor Pride and said.
Eeven top-notch Greater Gods were standing beside him too.
They were the Greater Gods of Pride, Sloth, Wrath, Gluttony, Greed, Envy, and Lust respectively.
The power of the Seven Demon Emperors stemmed from those seven Greater Gods.
“I’m grateful for the compliment, almighty Demon God.”
“Now, tell me something you desire.”
The Demon Emperor Pride immediately revealed a resentful expression. “Almighty Demon God, I wish to kill someone!!”
“Oh? Let’s hear it.”
“It’s a human who goes by the name of Chu Kuangren…”
Chu Kuangren had humiliated him too much.
In order to kill him, Demon Emperor Pride did not hesitate to slaughter more than half of the Demonic Realm’s living beings to break the Demon God’s seal.
…
After returning to the seas, the Sea God’s eyes lit up when he sensed a powerful divine power fluctuation from the Underworld Demonic Realm. “It looks like the Demon God has unlocked his seal. Ha! He’s one step ahead of me now. What a guy.”
With the Demon God free, his work would be cut out for him.
The seals of the other Venerable Gods could be broken faster now.
“Once all the gods have returned, this world will be back in our control. No, not just this world. Even the vast universe and every living being inside it will be ours. Everyone will place their faith in us as their gods!”
The Sea God was extremely delighted.
He felt that the goals he had in the past were just too small.
So what if they had the whole Firmament Star for themselves?’
They wanted to rule the universe as gods too!
