Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

Ying Li stood in the center. Various ritual instruments emitted strange thick fog, accompanied by various colored lights. Under the influence of these substances, the Nether Flame Art was involuntarily released and finally flowed into a circle of urns on the side of the field.

Everyone recorded the changes in various attributes in all aspects by observing the changes in Ying Li's aura, his body's reactions, and the movement of the Nether Flame Art in his body.

As the ceremony progressed, Ying Li's body was gradually enveloped by light, and his aura became stronger. The high priests kept adjusting the rhythm and intensity of the ceremony to ensure a more thorough analysis.

The ceremony lasted for a while in a tense and solemn atmosphere. Finally, the high priests stopped their actions and the light gradually dissipated. They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.

Ying Li felt that the power of the Nether Flame Art in his body had been further enhanced, and his strength had actually reached the fourth level of Ghost King Realm. Could it be considered cultivation if he was being fiddled with for such a long time?

Walking out of the temple, Ying Li was also surprised to see Lin Yuan and Mo Qili. This usually emotionless queen of the You clan was moved for the first time.

A black sphere floated in front of Mo Qili, and the reflective position just preserved the image of Ying Li performing the ritual. Various data were presented on the left and right in the bilingual form of the You Clan's language and the Demon Realm's language.

"We have finally found the man who can bring blessings to the underworld." Mei Qili's voice was trembling, and her excitement at this moment was beyond words.

"I didn't expect that you could help me break through a level so easily. I should indeed do something to help you." Ying Li was very satisfied with this.

Han Jin was a little worried and asked, "I say, you guys are not planning to kill him, are you?"

Mo Qili: "Don't worry. We only hope that Lord Ying Li can provide a sample of magic power. A drop of blood from the brow with the Dark Flame Art is enough."

Ying Li also breathed a sigh of relief. He had the habit of keeping his word. It would be troublesome if the other party really wanted him to stay and act as a generator.

"Lead the way."

The next stop is the "Dark Altar", which is the energy core of the You Clan. It is called an altar because they were seriously superstitious in ancient times and regarded obtaining energy as a blessing. Only sincere prayers can receive the blessing.

This is a tent-shaped building with various parts of unknown purpose on the top, piled together like a tree crown. At the bottom are countless pipes that penetrate into the ground, rivers and mountains, just like the roots of an old tree.

According to Mo Qili's introduction, these "tree roots" are pipelines for transporting energy to various parts of the You clan, and the "tree crowns" and "tents" are complex buildings integrating various factories.

Mo Qili led everyone into the porch at the bottom of the dark altar, passed through a series of glowing portals, and finally arrived at the center of the altar. An ancient statue covered in dust was particularly conspicuous.

There was no industrial equipment around, and no workers passing by. It looked a bit eerie with all the bare ground.

The four people approached, and the purple flowers beside Ying Li floated in the wind, helping to wipe off the dirt on the statue. Waves of fragrance came slowly, with the scent of Epiphyllum and a strange smell. It turned out to be the statue's resonance with the Purple Flower Demon King.

The statue has been worn so much that its features cannot be seen clearly, but one can vaguely make out that it is a tall man wearing armor with skull barbs and horns, holding a domineering rune giant sword in both hands and piercing the ground.

Mo Qili introduced: "This is the man who came to bless the Nether Clan six thousand years ago. He is a rebel in the heavens: Hades, the Emperor of the Netherworld. He is one of the few demons in the Kingdom of God."

"Hades? The God-Emperor of Demon Cultivation?!"

Lin Yuan and Han Jin were both shocked, but Ying Li seemed much calmer, but the powerful beings in this strange world also attracted his concern.

Mo Qili added: "Yes. To be precise, he practiced dark magic, but the heavens regarded it as evil."

It is said that the cultivation system in heaven focuses on divine skills, which are completely opposite to demonic skills and contrary to morality. The Divine Emperor corresponds to the Demon Lord and is the bottleneck of their cultivation.

It is easy to imagine the resistance Hades faced in practicing magic in such an environment. He had to face pressure from public opinion and suppression from the orthodox masters of this world. It was not easy for him to grow to the top.

Mo Qili continued, "Putting aside superstition, Lord Hades was the first god to truly descend into the underworld and bring welfare to the five major tribes at the time."

"He donated a drop of his own blood from the center of his brow here. He said that only the blood from the center of his brow is the purest and can be refined into a psionic core using the skills of the underworld. This can then be used to provide energy to the entire underworld in an infinite cycle."

"In order to commemorate his great contribution, the five chiefs at that time built a statue for him here and also stored the core inside the statue. After all, we were the most powerful tribe at that time and our geographical location was also in the central part of the country."

Han Jin immediately discovered the problem and asked, "You said it was an infinite loop, but why is it gone now? It looks like this statue has been left unused for a long time."

Mei Qili's tone became heavy and a little angry:

"Judging from the situation at the time, it was most likely done by the enemy from the 'Outer Insect Nest' not far from the Underworld, where the 'Insect Tribe', an ally of Welanti, lived."

"But there has been no evidence, and the Zerg have refused to admit it. It has been an unsolved case for thousands of years."

Ying Li knew about the Zerg, he said:

"The Zerg are also our enemies. They once invaded the Demon Realm together with Weilanti. After being repelled by the ancestors of the Demon Realm at that time, it seems that something unexpected happened in their homeland, so they did not come back with Weilanti later."

His colleague Yasanlanli also had a group of insects under his command that were incorporated into the Demon Clan - the Yara Insect Clan. They were captured by the ancestors of the Demon Clan at that time, and for some unknown reason the entire clan defected to the Demon Clan. Their genes were similar to those of the Void Demons, and they could actually reproduce offspring, thus evolving into real demons.

"Let's restore the energy supply for your You Clan first!"

Without waiting for Mo Qili to explain how to operate, Ying Li had already pierced the flesh between his eyebrows with one finger. A drop of dark blue blood flew out and floated on his fingertips.

"Wait, I need to tell you how..."

It was too late for Mo Qili to discover it. Ying Li had already flicked out his finger the next moment, and a drop of blood fell precisely on the neatest groove on the statue's head.

Sure enough, the entire statue began to tremble, starting from the groove, and gradually cracked all over the body. Hot air continued to spew out, but it never really broke into pieces. It felt like it was about to collapse but was struggling to hold on.

After a while, the tremor spread throughout the entire You clan land, just like an earthquake, but it happened not to damage anything, not even a dangerous building was intact.

Swah——

A circle of huge transparent waves was released from the feet of the statue, sweeping across the entire underworld. The area instantly became full of vitality, with flowers blooming on the land, birds singing in the bushes, and the black clouds in the sky that were leaking air became thicker, completely blocking out the sunlight, which the underworld people called "bad light."

The entire You clan was in a frenzy, with shouts and cheers filling the air. The You clan, which had been silent for a long time, became exceptionally lively at this moment. Various voices appeared in Mo Qili's heart, which were the good news from her clansmen.

Whether it was Mo Qili, Lin Yuan or Han Jin, they all looked at Ying Li as if he were a monster. They were extremely amazed, with the words "how did you know to do this?" written all over their faces.

Ying Li explained, "I felt the statue calling me. It wanted a drop of my brow blood. The pit on its head seemed to be sending me its desire. I tried it and it worked."

Han Jin patted Ying Li on the shoulder: "You are such a genius!"

Then he immediately took credit for Ying Li to Mo Qi Li:

"What do you mean? Queen of the You Tribe, should we hold a celebration banquet and then take us to help the next tribe solve its problems?"

Mo Qili was stunned for a moment: "We, the You Clan, do not have those customs. I am sorry to disappoint you. But we will give Lord Yingli due thanks. Please follow me to the "Bone Tomb"."

Han Jin was slightly disappointed: "No. Then you guys are too boring. Don't you have any occasion to show off when you encounter something particularly happy?"

Mei Qili shook her head: "No."

"Oh! No..."

Lin Yuan smiled and said helplessly: "Princess, the three views of each world are different, you have to get used to it!"

The three women have already set off one after another. Ying Li is walking at the end. He looks at the statue a few more times with some reluctance. He always feels that the other party is very similar to himself, especially the fragrance. Could it be a purple flower demon as well?

Only the demon world could breed the Purple Flower Demon. Hades himself was not a plant according to historical records. Could it be that he had chosen this day to resonate with me? It was hard to explain.

On the way, Mo Qili said that she would build a statue like this for Ying Li, or to be more precise, she would transform Hades' statue into his.

When asked about the source of the fragrance, everyone was confused. No one had ever smelled a fragrance other than Ying Li's. After all, they were not plant demons, so they could only solve this problem by themselves.

When we arrived at the Skeleton Cemetery, we saw a natural mausoleum consisting of a large number of bones of unknown creatures and a stretch of frozen mountains. These landscapes had all been processed into cemeteries, engraved with inscriptions and filled with funeral and sacrificial supplies.

Countless souls were wandering around, ghosts were howling, and the atmosphere was so strange and unpredictable that it made people feel cold.

This is the only cemetery of the You clan, and all members of the You clan will be buried here after their death.

Of course, the You people are souls who have died once, and there is no such thing as a natural death. This place should be a martyrs' cemetery.

The attitude of the You Clan towards the dead is different from that of the demon world. There is no such thing as burying the dead in peace or respecting the dead. In this world of scarce resources, everything can be used to meet their own needs.

The thank-you gift that Mo Qili mentioned was all the dead souls here that could be devoured by Ying Li. She had some understanding of the Nether Flame Technique and knew that this kind of technique had the characteristic of devouring external objects to strengthen itself.

Han Jin was also tempted, but she was not the one to donate blood, and she didn't know how much Ying Li would eat in one breath, so she didn't dare to speak.

Ying Li was somewhat reluctant. After all, in the demon world, this was blasphemy against the spirits of warriors. As a dignified Demon Lord, he disdained to become stronger in this way.

Mo Qili didn't understand, but she didn't force it. Everything in the underworld is "dead", and after dying once, one becomes indifferent to these things. Since you don't want to, I have no obligation to be polite.

Han Jin poked Ying Li's waist and asked repeatedly with his eyes: Are you sure you want to give up this great harvest?

Ying Li glanced at her unhappily, indicating that such behavior was shameful to him and asked her not to ask any more questions.

This wave of psychological activities was naturally heard by Mo Qili. She nodded silently and admired Ying Li's character even more.

"Since you don't want to accept this thank you gift, then accept this. It shouldn't violate the moral bottom line of your world."

Mo Qili produced a sword made of bones from somewhere. She said that it was the skeleton of a ferocious beast that was rampant in the underworld in ancient times. The martyrs paid a huge price to kill it and made countless weapons with its bones.

Those weapons were basically distributed to all the strong men of the You clan. Some were also given to other clans as diplomatic gifts. Hades also received one. Now this last one was given to Ying Li.

The sword was already extremely worn out and was completely unusable in combat, but Ying Li smelled a large amount of dark elements in it, which was the favorite training material for dark demon tamers.

He subconsciously took out the Abyss Crystal, and when the two got close, they felt a sense of harmony. He then asked Mo Qili:

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Mo Qili said without hesitation: "In the underworld, this is a kind of cultivation material hidden in the deep sea. If you want it, I can give you a lot."

Ying Li: "Will too many of them make the weapons unable to withstand the pressure?"

Mo Qili: "No. We have a special processing method. You can devote as much as you want to our technology!"

These words surprised and delighted Ying Li, and even the two women could not sit still. It turned out that this trip to the underworld was indeed very beneficial, and they had a deeper understanding of the magic.

Ying Li had long wanted to forge a second innate magic weapon, but he had not been able to gather the raw materials. The series of auxiliary materials he bought at the auction house were also damaged after the last "Magic Pupa Metamorphosis".

After listening to Ying Li's idea, Mei Qili thought about it and came up with an idea that would be more beneficial.

"It's not easy to build one. Do you three want to take a big gamble?"

"Do we both have a share?"

"Come with me. It's time for you to go to the next tribe."

……

At the same time, the Thunder Demon King Gao Zhen and the Succubus King Lilith have arrived at the Star Pickers’ base, and there is still one day before the Gunsmoke Family’s martial arts competition to recruit a bride.

Areovilhes was the neighbor of the Gunsmoke Family, so the two demon kings first settled down at her place and planned how to ruin the marriage between the Sanctuary and the Gunsmoke Family.

"Are you all here?"

The cold bass echoed in the dim stone room. The firelight illuminated the wall, reflecting the shadow of a huge snake. The members of the Star Pickers came to the brazier one after another.

Lilith was the first to come out, followed by Gao Zhen. On behalf of the Dark Flame Demon Lord Ying Li and the Purple Flower Demon Family, they saluted the Star Pickers from all over the world and the Star Picker Demon Lord who was as famous as Ying Li:

"The Purple Flower Demon Family, the Phantom Demon King Shen, greets the Star-Picking Demon Lord, and all the fellow demons!"

"I am Gao Zhen, the Demon King of the Thunder Demon Clan and the Purple Flower Demon Family. Greetings everyone!"

"Welcome both of you."

The master and other colleagues have important tasks to attend to. This trip will be led by the Thunder Demon King, and I will assist him. The detailed plan is..."
