Chapter 974 The Demon Lord Appears
This was the first time Xiaotian had seen Song Jiang like this, because in his impression, Song Jiang was kind and gentle to everyone, especially girls and children who were weaker than him, and he would never treat them coldly. But what happened to him today? His fierce look just now was not fake...

At this time, Song Jiang slowly stood up, then looked at the few people coldly and said, "If people cannot be in awe of the gods...then don't pray for the gods' protection at the critical moment. It is because of mortals like you who have no faith, who can abandon the gods at any time and are willing to become puppets of desire that the true gods will gradually die out."

Song Jiang's eyes were frighteningly cold, and the two girls had already been scared and huddled together. Seeing this, Gao Shuai felt that he could not show weakness in front of the girls, so he gritted his teeth and said, "You...are you mentally ill? Where did this real God come from?! Let's go, this guy is crazy, let's stay away from him." After he said that, he pulled Sun Yuelin and Xiao Ting to the side a few steps, trying his best to stay away from Song Jiang for safety.

The remaining Pan Junwei and Lu Wu naturally did not dare to continue standing beside Song Jiang, and turned around to follow the two men. Only Xiaotian was left standing by the wall with a look of astonishment. He looked at the somewhat unfamiliar Song Jiang in front of him and finally found the problem, so he asked, "You... are not Song Jiang, who are you?"

After hearing this, Song Jiang slowly turned around and looked at him, and asked in a deep voice, "Why do you say that, Brother Xiao?"

Xiaotian sighed after hearing this and said, "Although I haven't had much contact with Song Jiang for a long time, I think I know him better. After all, I have lived a thousand years longer than him. How can I not see through a mortal child? He is kind, enthusiastic, and simple-minded. At the same time, he is timid when encountering things, and his skills are not to be mentioned. And you... are really different from him in every way."

In fact, ever since Song Jiang entered this place, he had no intention of pretending any longer, because he knew that neither Meng Zhe nor Yang Jian could enter this place. If he wanted to lead these trash out safely, he could only be Qinglong instead of Song Jiang... As for Xiaotian, he had never taken him seriously. He was just a pet dog raised by Yang Jian. Whether to kill him or erase his memory after getting out was up to him.

After hearing what Xiao Tian said, Song Jiang smiled and nodded, saying, "Although your true form is a dog, you are a demigod after all, so you still have some abilities... But do you know why you can get in, I can get in, but Yang Jian and Meng Zhe can't?"

This question really stumped Xiaotian. He could see that there was something wrong with Song Jiang, but he couldn't see what was wrong with this place. This was also what puzzled him. Although he didn't have the true god body of his master, he was also a demigod body. How come he could come in but Yang Jian couldn't? In addition, Sun Yuelin and the others must have met some unknown hard conditions to come in. Otherwise, if anyone could easily fall into this place, then everyone in their company should be sitting here for an emergency meeting.

Seeing Xiaotian didn't understand, Song Jiang continued, "If I'm not mistaken, those mortals may seem unrelated, but they must have a common characteristic, which is why they were chosen by this space. As for you and me... well, it's because you are a demigod and I am a demon."

Xiaotian's face suddenly changed after hearing this. He forced himself to sit up straight, looked up at Song Jiang in disbelief, and muttered to himself, "Impossible... My master said that the last demon king in the world is dead. He was the Azure Dragon Lord who fell into the devil's trap. Could it be... Could it be that you are the Azure Dragon Lord?"

After hearing what Song Jiang said, he looked at Xiaotian with disdain and said in a deep voice: "I am just leaving temporarily... I am not dead. There is one more thing I need to correct. Your master will definitely not be proud of defeating me. On the contrary, he must be ashamed in his heart. I should know how he won that year. If I did such a thing, it would be a shame of my life." After hearing what Song Jiang said, Xiaotian was instantly deflated and sat stupidly against the wall. Although he had participated in the battle as Yang Jian's assist, Xiaotian's strength was no longer close in the later stage. He vaguely remembered that it was a devastating melee. Many great gods who were particularly powerful in his memory died in the battle, and there were only a handful of true gods who survived in the end. His master and Baihu were two of them. Especially his master, he was recognized as the first to kill the Demon Lord.

It was also after that melee that the six realms were reshuffled. The upper three realms where gods, immortals, and humans lived and the lower three realms where demons, monsters, and the underworld existed all gradually became blurred. The reason for this was that compared to the prosperous human world, the gods' realm and the immortal realm in the upper three realms were cold and lonely, and the immortal realm was all desolate mountains and caves. The few remaining true gods and immortals would rather hide in the colorful human world and enjoy the life of ordinary people.

As for the demons and monsters in the three lower realms, they declined after the demise of the Demon King. Those aliens who had escaped by chance also scattered around the human world. For a time, the six realms were completely reduced to the two realms of life and death. Both gods and monsters were extremely eager for the human world. They walked around the human world with all kinds of fake identities and, on the surface, they were no different from ordinary people.

Xiaotian felt that he might not be able to get out of this alternate dimension today. After all, now that he knew this huge secret, how could Qinglong let him live? So he looked at Sun Yuelin and the others who were hiding far away, and said to Song Jiang, "Take them out. They are all ordinary people. It shouldn't be difficult for you to erase their memories."

Unexpectedly, Song Jiang sneered and said, "You seem to have forgotten one thing. I am a demon... How can I care about the lives of a few mortals?"

"You don't care...but Lord White Tiger does, doesn't he?" Xiaotian said with a desperate look on his face.

Song Jiang didn't say anything after hearing this. Instead, he looked at Sun Yuelin and the others impatiently and said, "It's still unknown whether I can get out by myself. How can I have the time to care about them?"

Xiaotian knew that although the other party said so, he had actually agreed to save them, so he forced himself to say, "How about this... I will go and lure the beast out, and you will be responsible for killing it. As long as the beast is dead, the exit of this space should open automatically."

Song Jiang felt that Xiaotian was taking things for granted, so he snorted and said, "What if this space disappears after the beast dies? If we want to get out smoothly, we must figure out what that thing is."
