“Later, I became stronger and stronger, eventually becoming the Demon Emperor and taking control of this fragment world, but I was still powerless to stop it.”
"This Abyss fragment world is a part that broke away from the main Abyss World, and it can be reclaimed at any time. My strength is nothing in the main Abyss World."
"If I do anything that goes against the Abyss, the only ending awaiting me is death."
"Moreover, the destruction of living beings is a will engraved in the bloodline of Abyssal Demons; it is an instinct that cannot be erased."
Lin Moyu listened to the Demon Emperor's account and seemed to understand a few things.
He had completely calmed down and analyzed, "In the outside world, are the humans and the demons of the main Abyss World also at war?"
The Demon Emperor shook her head. "I don't know. I have lived in this fragment world since I was born, so I am not clear about matters in the outside world."
"But I have memories in my bloodline and know that I possess half-human blood. That is why I have always hidden myself, being very, very careful."
"Fortunately, I was born in the fragment world. Cannon fodder demons like us, who are inferior even to soldiers, do not receive much attention. If I were in the main world, I would surely have been executed long ago."
"If one day the fragment world returns to the main world, I will undoubtedly die."
Chapter 703: This Deal Doesn't Look Like a Loss
The Demon Emperor's voice, accompanied by the flickering Abyssal Fire, sounded somewhat sorrowful.
There was a bitter smile in her eyes, as if she were mocking her own life and her own birth.
Half-human, half-demon; she was not welcomed by humans, and the same was true before the Abyssal Demons.
No matter the race, none would accept an existence like her.
Even though she possessed a human appearance, she could deceive ordinary people, but not those powerhouses.
It was just like those mixed-blood dragons in the Dragon Realm; in the words of Antares, they amounted to nothing.
The Demon Emperor continued, "I know that once my identity is exposed, even if I don't return to the main Abyss World, the demons here will not let me go."
"I thought that if I hid away, if I cultivated desperately, and if I became the Demon Emperor, then no one would be able to kill me."
With several "I"s in a row, the Demon Emperor's tone was slightly hurried. Lin Moyu heard the hardship within it.
The Demon Emperor said, "I built the Demon Emperor Palace and lived inside it, never showing my true face to others."
"I became the master of the fragment world. Can you imagine how fake this master is?"
Lin Moyu said, "You don't want to die."
"Of course!" The Demon Emperor exclaimed softly, "This Emperor certainly does not want to die!"
"This Emperor wants to become a Super God, wants to become a True God, and become an even more powerful existence. Until no one can kill me!"
Survival is the instinct of any living being, and the Demon Emperor is no exception. Her will to survive was incomparably strong, and it was precisely this will that allowed her to reach her current achievements.
Lin Moyu had completely figured it out. "You don't want to die, you don't want the human race to be exterminated, and you don't want the Dragon Realm to occupy this world. In any case, you will have to return to the main world, and what awaits you is death."
The Demon Emperor continued, "That's right, which is why I came to you for cooperation."
Lin Moyu said, "If you don't want to die, then there is only one way: stay here forever and never return. That is why you maintained the balance between the three races. A thousand years ago, when the Dragon Realm was strong, you helped the human race drive the dragons out."
The Demon Emperor said, "Yes, I had just become the Demon Emperor at that time, and that was the first thing I did."
"Actually, I had the opportunity to wipe out the human race at that time, but I didn't take action. I even secretly killed a few high-level Demon Kings."
"And later, a Jiang Yi appeared in your human race. He was not a creature of this world. I couldn't let him grow, so I destroyed him."
"There were other things, but I was always maintaining the balance. But the balance has been broken by you."
Lin Moyu knew he had become a blade hanging over the Demon Emperor's head. With Antares backing him, the Demon Emperor dared not take action against him. Borrowing a knife to kill was the last resort she could take. As it turned out, the Dragon Emperor was not strong enough, and she failed. As for Meng Anwen and the others, they were just extras and posed no threat to the Demon Emperor. Even if Lin Moyu were killed, the Demon Emperor would not truly invade the Human World in the end. She needed to maintain the balance. Balance was her life.
The Demon Emperor continued, "Actually, this approach of mine is just an escape. I was already the Demon Emperor a thousand years ago, having reached the peak of the Half-step Super God. In the fragment world, I cannot go any further; I cannot become a Super God."
Lin Moyu said in a deep voice, "You can walk out."
The Demon Emperor shook her head and smiled bitterly. "You mean walking out like Emperor Di, with a slim chance of survival? No, for him it was a slim chance, but for me, it is certain death."
"I was born in the fragment world, and my soul imprint is here. Powerful demons of the main world can find me at any time through the imprint. No matter how far I hide, it is useless."
Her words revealed helplessness and despair. At this moment, she did not look like the Demon Emperor, but rather like a helpless young girl. Her words touched upon knowledge that Lin Moyu did not know. Lin Moyu asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Lin Moyu knew she must have a plan; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to find him.
The Demon Emperor said, "I have already thought of a way, but whether it will work or not is uncertain. This is also the only way I can think of." "Tell me." "You become the Master of the World and devour the fragment world."
Lin Moyu was slightly startled; it was actually this method. To have him become the Master of the World… At this moment, Antares's voice echoed in his mind, "This is indeed the only way."
Lin Moyu asked, "But how can I become the Master of the World?"
Antares chuckled, "Simple, reach the Super God Level, and I will teach you then; it is not difficult. Moreover, there is a world core waiting for you to collect. If you want to become stronger in the future and break through restrictions, this is something you must do."
Lin Moyu already knew the answer. "But why should I help you?"
The Demon Emperor heard some different information from Lin Moyu's words. She knew that Lin Moyu had already received the answer and that her method was feasible. The answer came from Antares; she knew that.
"I will offer enough sincerity. When you can become the Master of the World, I will have the demons launch an attack on the Dragon Realm." "The demons and the Dragon Realm will suffer mutual destruction." "I will bring the Dragon Emperor's head to you."
Lin Moyu stopped her. "No, I will take the Dragon Emperor's head myself."
The Demon Emperor smiled brightly and suddenly appeared in front of Lin Moyu, extending her slender hand. "Happy cooperation." "Happy cooperation!"
Lin Moyu symbolically shook her hand. Her hand was very soft and very cold.
The two of them had set the tone for their cooperation. Once Lin Moyu becomes a Super God, the cooperation will officially begin.
The Demon Emperor did not doubt Lin Moyu's words. She had investigated all of Lin Moyu's deeds and knew that Lin Moyu valued promises. Once he agreed, he would not go back on it.
Sending Lin Moyu away from the Abyss World and watching the space-time channel close, the Demon Emperor sighed softly. "I hope it can succeed." "After waiting for so many years, I have finally seen a glimmer of hope."
The Demon Emperor's cold and melodious voice echoed in the vast Demon Emperor Palace. In her eyes, besides sorrow, there was intense killing intent. It was as if she were creating a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood with her own hands.
Lin Moyu returned to the Ancient Battlefield, looking at the Shenxia Ancient City and watching the people coming in and out. This world seemed simple, but it was far more complex than imagined. It seemed complex, but the clues were being sorted out.
"Antares, do you think I can succeed?" "I think she is a bit crazy; for her own sake, she is willing to sacrifice an entire world." "Billions of demons will pave the way for her. If she succeeds, she will march forward stepping on a sea of blood."
A few seconds later, Antares's voice rang in his mind. The voice carried a disdainful smile, "You, you are just short-sighted. In the eyes of the strong, what does this kind of thing count for?"
"That is just a fragment world; how many living beings can there be inside?" "Even adding your world, there are not many living beings."
"True powerhouses, in order to advance even a little, for a one in a billion chance, have wiped out entire starfields and countless worlds." "In an instant, infinite living beings died." "There are even stronger ones who gather billions of living beings from dozens of worlds together to perform a blood sacrifice."
"The sea of blood and resentment soared to the sky, extinguishing great stars." "Such a small scene is nothing; it's just child's play."
Antares spoke incredibly lightly, completely indifferent. Lin Moyu, however, felt his hair stand on end as he listened. "It seems the outside world is far crueler than I thought."
"Hehe, good that you know. However, Lillian has indeed done quite a few things over these years. Basically, what she said is not a problem, and she indeed has not dealt a death blow to you humans." "Of course, she did it for herself, and at the same time, she knows that with me here, it is impossible to exterminate you humans." "Anyway, that's how it is; think about it yourself."
Lillian is the Demon Emperor's name. Except for Antares, no one dares to call her by her name. Lin Moyu nodded slightly. "I understand. Looking at this deal for now, we are not at a loss."
Chapter 704: The Trade-offs Required When Truly Standing at a High Position
Lin Moyu sat alone outside the ancient city for a long time, pondering everything that had happened before, thinking about all the information he had seen, observed, and heard. He summarized it and conducted an analysis.
If what the Demon Emperor Lillian said was all true, she had been balancing the three forces for so many years. After cooperating with the humans to drive out the Dragon Realm, she actually had the ability to wipe out the human race at that time.
Even if she couldn't truly exterminate the human race because of Antares's existence, at least she could have occupied most of the Human World. She could have kept the humans in captivity, at least preventing the human race from developing further. Antares would not interfere with this point.
Antares had said it was only responsible for ensuring the humans didn't die out; it was not responsible for anything else.
But the Demon Emperor Lillian did not do that. Instead, she killed a few high-level Demon Kings and even created the illusion that there were still powerhouses among the humans. This made the originally unscrupulous Demon Kings wary, eventually allowing the Abyssal Demons and the human race to form a relative balance.
The human race also developed a thousand years ago. Although it is still weaker than the Abyssal Demons now, it is not too far behind. Even more than 600 years ago, she discovered Jiang Yi, who came from beyond the heavens, and plotted to ambush and kill him. Because she was afraid that Jiang Yi would reach the Super God Level and eventually break the balance.
