Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 447 The Last Stand of the Sun King

The towering ancient trees bore fruit, and the green fluorescence spread rapidly in the camp.

The initial panic soon dissipated, replaced by peace and even a hint of satisfaction.

The strange feeling made the wolf demon girl feel at a loss, but it seemed to evoke some memories hidden in their blood.

She soon realized that this memory did not come from herself, but from some more ancient existence, so ancient that it might have to go back thousands of years, back to the era invaded by darkness.

In that desperate time, their ancestors accepted gifts from the void demons.

As a result, their bodies changed, twisting from humans into their current appearance, and the scorching sun energy deep within their souls was infected and assimilated until nothing was left.

Then, the ancestors were reborn and became one of the demons.

simply……

It was exactly the same scene as what she was seeing now.

The chaotic dark energy was cleansed and purified, turning into another gentle and peaceful way of existence.

This power made the wolf demon girl feel an unprecedented peace. It also allowed her to lower her proud head for the first time and carefully examine the changes that had taken place in her body.

Then, she discovered that her strength had not diminished.

Not only that, they became purer and easier to control, and the bloodthirsty and crazy aspects that were imprinted in their blood were also cured.

After those negative emotions disappeared, the wolf girl was able to think independently for the first time.

Yes, no matter what she was thinking about at the moment, there would not be some sudden inexplicable restlessness to interrupt her thoughts.

The ancestors regarded that kind of restlessness as the price of gaining power. Once they accepted the devil's gift, they would be monitored by the devil. Any thoughts of disobedience would be exposed under the master's glance.

As for gathering the army and launching a counterattack on the real plane, it now seems more like a decision made under the influence of the master.

Just like the lower demons to them, they have no choice.

From the initial scorching sun and dark energy to the giant tree that was suddenly born in the land of eternal night, the wolf demon girl suddenly understood Duan Mingyuan's identity, and the question of why he could control energy freely was also answered.

"You... no, what is your will?"

The wolf demon girl asked.

Under the giant tree, Duan Mingyuan's image in her eyes seemed to have changed as well.

It was as if she had seen through the human skin and glimpsed a more unfathomable existence, which made her tears involuntarily seep out of the corners of her eyes. Unspeakable joy surrounded her and made her want to kneel down in front of the other person.

This is the mark that the Void Demon writes on its people. They must kneel down and worship before their master.

“It’s life energy.”

Duan Mingyuan did not answer the wolf demon girl's question, but said, "On the Blue Planet, there are some beings similar to you. They are called monsters by humans, and they are born with powers beyond common sense."

He is a scholar who studies monsters, and is particularly good at studying fox monsters.

However, Duan Mingyuan searched almost all the books in the Yunhai Academy or the Imperial Library, but could not find any description about the origin of monsters.

In the cultural heritage of the people of Blue Star, monsters seem to have existed before they were born. Some people also believe that they are a concept created by humans through folk legends. However, when Duan Mingyuan saw the interpretation of betrayers in "Genesis", he suddenly had a new idea.

After being bewitched by the Void Demon, the people of the Sun King fell into the subspecies of demons such as werewolves. They maintained the outline of humans but turned into the faces of demons. So, when humans and life energy merge, what kind of creatures will be born?
"Blue Star is the last stop of the Sun King."

This time, Duan Mingyuan narrated in an affirmative tone, "The transformation from human to monster is the result of the fusion of life energy."

Based on the characteristics of life energy, although the appearance of the monsters on the blue planet has changed, their temperaments are more stable than the void demons, and most of them are even in a gentle mood.

After an unknown amount of time, the wolf demon girl finally spoke, "You mean to say that the Sun King has fallen?"

After all, “The Last Stop” sounds like the Sun King’s life is coming to an end.

Even the Void Demons did not dare to assert that the Sun King had completely disappeared. Every tribe was ready to fight a decisive battle with the Sun King and his apostles in the real plane.

This is great news for the Void Demons. They should light those lower-level demons on fire and hold a grand bonfire party.

However, now, the wolf demon girl felt not happy but sad instead.

She witnessed the fall of a faith from a third-party perspective.

"Nothing is eternal, this is true for both the Sun King and the Void Demon. Perhaps He went to the Blue Planet to find a way to extend His energy, or perhaps He wanted to preserve His will through some kind of experiment."

"But why Blue Star?"

Before Duan Mingyuan arrived, the wolf demon girl had no idea that there was such a planet in the universe.

The Blue Star was not in the path of the Void Demons, at least not until they razed the territory of the Church of Embers.

No higher-level demon has ever mentioned the special nature of Blue Planet.

"Because the Sun King found an answer there, which is the missing part in Genesis. I wonder if there is a similar record in the Land of Eternal Night?"

"...No, demons never read books, nor do they have the habit of recording history."

The wolf demon girl was a little embarrassed.

In the culture of the Void Demons, reading and studying are considered to be unproductive behaviors. The first thing every new demon comes into contact with is fighting and plundering.

Every demon's dream is to become a war lord, which is the supreme honor.

"The Book of Genesis never mentions the origin of human beings or other creatures. Both believers and fallen people are called 'elect'."

It describes an era shrouded in darkness, but does not mention the Sun King or the Void Demon's creation of living creatures.

They are not creators, but just elects from among many creatures who are capable of changing the dark ages.

Life and the universe came into being long before them.

And one day when the Empire of Ashes was on its way to glory, the Sun King seemed to finally realize that he was just a passer-by in the long river of history.

"The history of the Embers Empire mentions a period when the Sun King tried every possible means to leave the planet where the empire was located. This was for the sake of exploration, even if it required the entire empire to pay a high price."

However, with the sudden disappearance of the Sun King, the heirs of the Empire of Ashes had no idea what their king was trying to find.

"So, He found... the origin of life on the Blue Planet?"

"At least, that's what He thinks."
