Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World
Chapter 154: Dilemma in the Underworld
Soon, the news that the Eternal Night Empire declared war on Weilanti spread throughout the demon world, and at the same time, it also exposed the evil deeds that Weilanti and its accomplices, the Holy Light Church, and the Demon Tower had committed against the demons in history.
For a time, public opinion in the demon world was in turmoil, and the masses had different opinions on this. Most people were still unwilling to admit it, believing that it was just a lie made up by the remnants of the demon clan to exonerate themselves from their crimes.
But there are also many people who are willing to try to believe it. They want to dig deep into the historical truth and consider the future of the demon world in combination with various current events.
No matter what, the seed has been planted, and the evil umbrella of the Sanctuary is facing the crisis of collapse. Once a crack appears, the truth will be revealed to the public.
The Nether Spirit Crystals have been applied to magical technology. Their war weapons can fire shells that are a combination of magic and technology. Their power is like a full-strength attack from the Ghost King Realm. Even a master in the late Ghost King Realm does not dare to easily withstand the firepower of a hundred cannons firing at the same time.
The orcs who had been planning to regroup and attack the coast of the North Sea of Eternal Night were the first to be engulfed by this firepower. Their army collapsed in an instant, and countless demon-controlling masters were killed and wounded. They were driven out of the territorial waters of Eternal Night without any ability to fight back.
The Sea Demons and the Dragons took advantage of their sea and air mobility to carry out irregular attacks on important waterways in the Sanctuary countries, blocking shipping, creating natural disasters and spreading panic.
The Succubus and Thunder Demons settled in the Western Continent, setting up camps in the deep forests and high mountains, cooperating with the Netherworld and the Seven Deadly Sins to carry out intelligence gathering missions. Everything was carried out secretly and silently, under the governorship of the Succubus Queen Lilith.
Thunder Demon King Gao Zhen did not act with his clan. He and Phantom Demon King Shen were going to the Nitrox Smoke Family to prepare for a martial arts competition to find a bride. This was the key for the demon clan to win over the Nitrox Smoke Family.
The Fire Demon King Yangang obtained a puppet body from Krablank, a bionic body processed with high technology, but it still needed something to reshape the real demon body.
In exchange, Yangang needs to build a city on a plain north of the imperial capital. Its essence is a military city of the Eternal Night Empire, but he can rebuild a new Fire Demon Clan.
Similarly, Shadow Demon Lord Altros and Phantom Demon Lord Mirage also have two new settlements, one on each side of the southwest of the imperial capital.
Apart from the construction team, garrison troops and other basic personnel, there is nothing else. The three lone commanders rely entirely on their own abilities to rebuild their homes, but the plan to restore the tribe has to be postponed due to the mission.
The Earth Demon Clan has an advantage. They can migrate an entire clan and are good at construction. They can control wind, dust, mud, and rocks to build quickly, and a city rises from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye.
They were also the second large demon clan to settle in the Eternal Night Empire after the vampires. Crablan gave Elena a hill west of the imperial capital.
This mutually beneficial exchange was fought for by the Jiao Demon King Ah Jiao. She said that it was better to take precautions before it happens. Maybe one day in the future there will be a war here, and the settlements of the four major demon tribes can serve as a barrier for the capital.
Naturally, Crablan had to give this face to the demons, and it was also a compensation to his wife. Afterwards, A Jiao agreed to let Crablan stay in the palace, and they were both willing to renew their relationship. This time, Crablan had no resistance.
The Rock Demon King Elena needs to accompany the Demon Lord's wife Galantina to the Imperial Capital University for special training.
Both women have the identity of teachers, so they have no problem dealing with the outside world. There is no need to go to college, and Galantina has enough time to ask Elena for the tricks of magic training and various combat skills.
After a busy day, Elena can stay in the same room with Galantina, and before going to bed, they can happily discuss some topics that only girls can talk about.
……
Just as the Eternal Night Empire began to prepare for war intensively, Ying Li and Han Jin arrived in the underworld under the leadership of Lin Yuan.
This place is as dead as the virtual world, and there is no trace of magic elements. The people of the demon world cannot practice normally here, but Ying Li can use the characteristics of the Dark Flame Art to devour powerful living things to enhance his magic power.
Similarly, the cold ember who practiced the Star Absorbing Transformation could also do it. Just now, they encountered a group of hostile creatures from the underworld - dead beasts. The two "devourers" tried it and had no problem at all.
While Lin Yuan marveled at the power of the Nether Flame Art, she was also shocked by the talent of the future successor to the throne. She knew that Princess Kalansha was a genius, but she did not expect that she had already caught up with the Demon Lord in her attainments in magic.
"What do you think, hubby? My Star Absorbing Transformation is not much different from your Nether Flame Art, right?" Han Jin became proud in front of Ying Li.
Ying Li nodded with a cold face: "It's okay."
Han Jin didn't get the praise he expected, and just when he was about to get angry at him, a new enemy appeared -
In this wasteland, more and more dead beasts are crawling out. They look like Weilanti, and are also deformed and twisted, but they have soul-like bodies and can unleash some dark magic skills with a power of at least the first level of Ghost King.
Lin Yuan explained: "All creatures in the underworld have the essence of darkness. They are natural owners of dark magic."
This is a bit tricky for Yingli. The dark civil war is pure waste of time. There is no way to end the battle quickly. The Nether Flame Art can only be used to pick up kills. The main output can only rely on Hanjin, who can do everything, and Linyuan, who has a higher cultivation level than Yingli.
The battle lasted for a long time. The three of them fought from one side of the wasteland to the other, but many dead beasts still broke out of the ground, trying to devour them.
Ying Li frowned and asked, "Are these creatures just beasts that only know how to eat?"
Han Jin said that when it comes to fighting, the more the better, and said with a smile: "Ha! I still think I haven't killed enough! There are still many new moves waiting to be practiced!"
Lin Yuan also expressed doubts. The last time she came to the underworld, there were not so many dead beasts. The Queen of the Ghost Tribe, Mo Qili, had only taken her to visit the laboratory and prison where the God of Death was imprisoned, and she had not encountered a large-scale attack from them in the wild.
"Something is wrong. Something must have happened in the underworld. Why are there so many dead beasts wandering around? We have to hurry to their capital, Nightmare City."
Han Jin summoned a giant sword with wind attributes and used her unique skill of flying with the sword. With Lin Yuan's guidance, she instantly crossed several acres of land.
The surrounding scenery also changed from a dark, desolate wasteland to a black forest with a certain pattern. Every blade of grass and every tree here grew strangely and horribly, like moving ghosts, which was creepy.
Fortunately, all three of them are considered to be extremely evil demons. Their nature is more terrifying than evil spirits and ghosts, especially Ying Li, the leader of all demons.
When some underworld creatures hiding in the dark smelled Ying Li's breath, they couldn't help but tremble. Some who accidentally ran into the three people were so scared that they fled away in a hurry.
Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "The laws of the underworld are imperfect, and the world is more chaotic than ours. The ecology here can be said to be the survival of the fittest."
Ying Li deeply agreed. Their reactions when they saw him were the same as the reactions of other lower races when they saw him when he had just transformed from a plant into a flesh body.
Han Jin made a "tsk tsk" sound and commented: "If a human expedition team came here, they would probably be scared to death by these monsters. I didn't expect that you would reverse the phenomenon when you came."
Ying Li ignored the two's discussion and looked towards the distant horizon, where there was a black floating city that was gradually getting bigger. He asked excitedly:
"Is that the capital of the You Clan?"
Lin Yuan took a closer look and was very sure: "Yes. To be precise, it's all over that area!"
After walking out of the forest and crossing a wide red river, a huge mausoleum appeared before our eyes, surrounded by thick fog. Inside, there were walls made of strange peaks and rocks, covered with thorns and bones, revealing sharpness and murderousness everywhere.
Various tall and majestic dark buildings stand everywhere, and their functions cannot be seen from the outside. One can only feel an extremely heavy sense of oppression and inexplicable fear.
The two huge and bizarre statues began to move. They filled everyone's sight and emitted suppressed growls. Although no words were uttered, the three people understood that they were questioning their origins.
Ying Li replied subconsciously: "I am Ying Li, we are visiting our friends from the You Clan on behalf of the demons from the Demon Realm!"
The two statues immediately issued an order to expel everyone, indicating that the underworld does not need friends.
Ying Li sneered, and suddenly released his aura, causing the other party to feel horrified and shocked. He then asked:
"How can you be in need of...friends?"
The colossus remained silent, then silently retreated back to the stone pier and became a dead object again.
A fan-shaped crack suddenly appeared in the air, containing a turbid smell and waves of tearing force.
Lin Yuan signaled everyone to relax. This was a unique way for the underworld to receive guests. Mo Qili had used this trick to receive Lin Yuan's subordinates.
Returning to the long-lost You clan palace, a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously. Lin Yuan discovered that after so many years, everything here was the same as before.
The mysterious and dark figure of Mo Qili appeared in front of the gate of the black castle. She took the initiative to step forward and cast a sharp look at Ying Li who was in the lead.
Those pure white eyes were bright and pure, like the stars in the night sky, revealing a strange color. It was difficult to tell what she looked like, but it made people feel fear and the awe that existed in the bones of lower creatures.
"King You: My dear, I meet the Dark Flame Demon Lord. Welcome."
To show respect, Mo Qili did not use telepathy to communicate, but spoke in the language of the demon world. Her voice was fuzzy, muddy, and unclear, but every word she said could be reflected in the other person's heart.
"Hello, Queen of the You Clan. I am Ying Li, but I am not worthy of the title of Demon Lord at the moment. We are here to seek new allies in order to stop the Void's ambition to annex the worlds."
Ying Li didn't waste any words and stated his purpose directly. After a brief contemplation, Mei Qili also gave a vague answer:
"We know the Void Welanti Clan. The Underworld is ruled by four major clans, and my You Clan is just one of them. You need to gain recognition from the four major clans before you can get help from the Underworld."
Ying Li smiled with satisfaction. He liked this kind of straightforward conversation. But he also knew that it was not as simple as she said, so he asked back:
"That includes your approval, right? Then, please ask the question!"
"Come with me to Youyun Temple."
As she spoke, Mei Qili raised her hand and cast a black shadow, which spread out like a carpet on the road ahead. She was the first to step forward and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Ying Li glanced at the two women, and Lin Yuan nodded affirmatively. She trusted the other party's character, and Han Jin also said that he was not afraid, and the three followed closely and stepped into the shadow.
The next moment, a building shaped like a huge skull appeared in front of them, surrounded by barbed stone pillars and the ground was filled with sacrificial utensils.
As soon as Mo Qili arrived, two teams of people slowly walked out of the big mouth of the skull.
One column was made up of some long-haired zombies floating in the air and wearing light-colored robes;
The other column was a group of skeleton wizards with gloomy faces and strange clothing.
"These are the high priests and archbishops of the You clan royal family. Your Excellency the Demon Lord, please let them identify the purity of your magic power." said Mo Qili.
Ying Li glanced at these strange-looking people from the underworld and roughly judged that these people had the strength of the middle stage of the Ghost King Realm. He then looked at Lin Yuan in confusion and saw that the other party was also puzzled.
"What's the purpose of this?"
Lin Yuan was afraid that Ying Li would misunderstand, so he said, "The Queen of Mo Qili should not be hostile. They value dark practitioners very much."
Mei Qili looked back at the tallest iceberg-shaped building in the city and said slowly:
"You must have seen a lot of dead animals on the way here, right?"
Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, shouldn't these guys be imprisoned by you? If they are released, won't they threaten the stability of the outside world?"
"We, the You tribe, are in an energy crisis. We have to give up some functions to maintain the most basic life, including imprisoning dead beasts."
"Energy crisis?" Lin Yuan was surprised.
"The Phantom Clan needs an energy source called Phantom Energy to maintain the darkness of the sky. Otherwise, we will be exposed to the "Destroying Sphere" and our bodies will be corroded by the "Bad Fire."
"This... I suspect you are talking about the sun, but I have no evidence." Han Jin interrupted, feeling a little like laughing.
Mo Qili glanced at her and nodded, "According to your words, it should indeed be called the Sun. We hate this planet very much. The light it emits will endanger our survival and will also cause harm to other races in the underworld, even me."
It seems that the Ghost Clan hates the sun as much as the Blood Clan and Night Elves in the Demon Realm, and it is possible that the Ghost Clan is more afraid of it. Night Elves only hate the sun, and the Blood Clan can also be immune to the burning of the sun after cultivating to the Ghost King Realm. However, although Mo Qili is obviously as powerful as Han Jin, she is still very afraid of the sun.
"Do you want me to provide the Nether Flame as psionic energy?" Ying Li asked.
Mei Qili shook her head: "Why not let them identify it first, and we can discuss it later."
Ying Li didn't feel any hostility from anyone. It seemed that the other party didn't just want to exploit him, so he just let her be for now.
Entering the temple alone, Mo Qili accompanied the two guests here. She also talked a lot about the current situation of the underworld, such as Weilanti’s visit a few years ago.
A series of accidents in the underworld occurred after the appearance of Weilanti, but no one had actual evidence, and the overall strength of the underworld was relatively weak, so they were unable to attack Weilanti.
Lin Yuan also explained his intention and told her some things that Ying Li didn't have time to say, such as Weilanti's collusion with the heaven.
Mei Qili was actually angry about this. According to her, the geographical location of the underworld was exactly opposite to that of the heaven, with the demon world, the virtual world and other worlds sandwiched between the two.
The two worlds were created by an ancient god, who gave them the function of guiding the dead souls and re-entering reincarnation.
But later, with the revival of spiritual energy, almost all residents of the world had ways to prolong their lifespans, and this function gradually faded out of history.
The loss of the influx of these souls marked the beginning of the gradual decline of the two worlds. These souls are an important part of the ecosystem of the two worlds.
For this reason, wars broke out between the two worlds in order to snatch souls and various resources.
Not long ago, the heavens suddenly rose up and completely crushed the underworld in the battle for supremacy. A large amount of resources were invested in the war, but no benefits were gained, which indirectly led to the current predicament.
Now, Mei Qili knew that the reason why the heavens rose to power was because of the strong support of Weilanti...
In the Youyun Temple, a group of bishops and priests were dancing around Ying Li. Various lights flashed around Ying Li, and even the atmosphere was constantly changing.
The martial arts of the underworld are similar to those of the demon world, especially those with dark attributes. They are simply carved from the same mold. He can understand many of the martial arts.
During this time, Ying Li was also communicating with them. The other party's answer was very simple. He just said that everything in the dark world is one family. This also explains why the dark magic skills are not very powerful against each other.
It is said that the underworld is the origin of darkness, and this trip to the underworld is just the right time for Ying Li to find out the truth.
