Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 328 Demon Emperor's Cooperation
Zhou Sichen's voice slowly rang out: "Throughout the history of Shrek Academy, we have always regarded Tang San and other divine ancestors as our spiritual beacons."

"Their legends are like brilliant stars, illuminating the path for generations of practitioners and inspiring us to forge ahead on the path of cultivation."

At this point, he paused slightly, a complex look flashing in his eyes: "However, today, as we peel back the fog of history, we are shocked to discover that behind those deified figures lies a chilling truth."

"Tang San's so-called glorious deeds are nothing but carefully woven lies. His selfishness and hypocrisy have long deviated from the original purpose of Shrek Academy."

"We must face this cruel reality!" Zhou Sichen clenched his fist tightly, his clothes fluttering in the wind.

"We cannot allow this false image to continue poisoning the minds of young students, leading them to believe that ruthlessness and selfishness are shortcuts to success. This erroneous value system is eroding the very foundation of Shrek Academy!"

His voice grew increasingly impassioned: "The spirit of Shrek Academy should be built upon true justice, kindness, and selfless dedication."

"Our forefathers started from scratch, taking it upon themselves to safeguard the peace of the continent, and forged the academy's glory with their blood and sweat. This is the precious spirit we should inherit, not the blind worship of a hypocrite!"

"Those who truly deserve our respect are the unsung heroes who selflessly dedicate themselves to protecting the college."

"They may not have any earth-shattering deeds, but they have always stuck to their posts and are willing to dedicate everything for the development of the academy and for the peace of the mainland."

Zhou Sichen looked into the distance, as if he could see those respectable figures.

"Only by making trainees understand this principle can we cultivate truly responsible and morally upright outstanding talents."

"Such talents are the future hope of Shrek Academy and the pillars of the development of Douluo Continent!" His words were resounding and echoed for a long time.

The Demon Emperor listened quietly, his eyes gleaming with approval.

These words were exactly what she had always wanted to say but had never been able to.

Zhou Sichen continued, "Perhaps it is the excessive embellishment of the legends by later generations that has made us overlook too much of the truth."

"Although the seven deities, including Tang San, the Sea God, did indeed come from Shrek Academy, their actions have long deviated from the core spirit of the academy."

Zhou Sichen slowly turned around and looked in the direction of Shrek Academy, his expression firm: "We must abandon this blind worship and re-examine the academy's beliefs and values."

"Only in this way can Shrek Academy break free from the shackles of history and usher in a true new life."

“I am ready.” He clenched his fists, his tone full of determination: “When I return to the academy, I will definitely base my decisions on true history and be guided by correct values, and discuss reforms with the academy’s leadership.”

"We want to restore Shrek Academy to its original essence and rebuild its spirit based on truth and justice."

Zhang Lexuan stood to the side, her expression complicated.

As an important member of Shrek Academy, she has always regarded the Sea God Tang San as her faith.

However, at this moment, under the impact of Zhou Sichen's words, the edifice of her faith is crumbling.

But at the same time, a new belief took root in her heart, and she followed Zhou Sichen to fight for the future of Shrek Academy.

She nodded gently: "Sichen is absolutely right. This matter is of great importance and does require careful consideration. However, I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely find the best solution."

In Zhou Sichen's eyes, this was just the beginning.

Dethroning Tang San's mythical status in the academy is only the first step.

More importantly, he set his sights on Ah Yin, who was parasitizing the Golden Ancient Tree.

That contains divine-level life energy. Once absorbed and refined, its value is immeasurable, and one can even obtain precious energy comparable to the gold of life.

Thinking of this, Zhou Sichen's gaze became profound.

The Demon Emperor's dark purple pupils stared at Zhou Sichen like a deep pool.

As the other party delivered his impassioned speech, the oppressive aura emanating from her gradually subsided, and the murderous intent that had risen up and was ready to devour the humans before her vanished like the receding tide.

As one of the most powerful beings on the continent, the Demon Emperor keenly sensed that the human youth before him possessed not only extraordinary courage.

Moreover, they share her ambitions and strategies, and may indeed become a key ally in breaking the existing order.

When Zhou Sichen uttered his last word, the entire space fell silent.

The Demon Empress gently tossed her long, ink-black hair behind her, causing her magnificent black robes, formed from demonic energy, to shimmer with a dark light. A faint smile played on her lips.

"Interesting. I never expected to meet such an interesting human being on this Douluo Continent."

As everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, Zhou Sichen slowly walked towards the Demon Emperor.

Despite the fact that the other party presented herself as a mature and beautiful woman, with a delicate face and voluptuous figure that would be extremely alluring to ordinary people, Zhou Sichen's gaze remained calm and composed.

A greedy light gleamed deep in his eyes, but what attracted him was not the physical appearance, but the Demon Emperor's unfathomable and terrifying cultivation and foundation.

If he could harness this power for his own use, it would surely allow him to take a giant leap on the path to godhood.

Feeling Zhou Sichen's burning and direct gaze, the Demon Emperor subconsciously tightened his demonic energy, making his aura even more concealed.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone a mix of mockery and wariness: "Human, what do you want from me by looking at me like that?"

Zhou Sichen bowed respectfully, his expression composed: "Senior Demon Emperor, after our conversation today, I feel as if we have known each other for a long time."

"It is fate that we met. I have a great opportunity to share with you, senior. I wonder if you would be willing to listen?"

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor's eyes grew even more wary, and his purplish-black pupils contracted slightly: "An opportunity? What opportunity on this Douluo Continent could possibly catch my eye?"

"Besides, I want to hear whether this is my opportunity or yours?" Her voice was cold and full of distrust.

Over the long years, she had witnessed too much human greed and hypocrisy, and had long regarded the entire human race as an untrustworthy existence.

Zhou Sichen seemed to have anticipated the Demon Emperor's reaction. His expression remained unchanged, and he still maintained a gentle smile: "Senior is overthinking it. This is naturally a shared opportunity for us."

"As the saying goes, one tree cannot make a forest. Only through our sincere cooperation can we maximize the value of this opportunity."

He paused, his gaze fixed firmly into the Demon Emperor's eyes. "I understand that, given our current relationship, it's difficult for you to believe me. But I'm willing to show enough sincerity to prove my resolve."

"Sincerity?" The Demon Emperor scoffed, his demonic energy surging once more. "Human sincerity is often more damaging than the sharpest blade. How do you intend to prove it?"

Zhou Sichen did not answer immediately, but closed her eyes slightly.

In an instant, an invisible pressure spread out from him, and the elemental forces in the air began to fluctuate violently. He slowly opened his eyes, which shimmered with a brilliant golden light, a symbol of highly concentrated spiritual power.

His voice was deep and powerful: "If you trust me, senior, just open your mind and let me tell you the details of this opportunity."

The Demon Emperor's expression turned solemn, and he fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Opening up one's mental sea is tantamount to exposing one's most vulnerable parts to the other party. If one is not careful, the other party may take the opportunity to invade and control one's mind.

But she was also very curious about the "opportunity" that Zhou Sichen mentioned. More importantly, she sensed from him a similar, almost obsessive, desire for power.

A moment later, the Demon Emperor snorted coldly: "Human, you'd better not disappoint me. If you dare to play tricks on me, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will tear you to pieces."

After saying that, she slowly closed her eyes, and the demonic energy around her receded like a tide, releasing her spiritual sea.

Zhou Sichen smiled gently: "Of course, I'm not such a brainless person."

As soon as he finished speaking, the tangible yet intangible spiritual energy, carrying the memories Zhou Sichen had prepared, surged into the Demon Emperor's mind.

As a flood of mental memories poured in, the Demon Emperor's body trembled slightly.

Even with her cultivation level, she would need time to digest this large amount of information.

Just then, a blue figure flashed to the Demon Emperor's side like a ghost; it was none other than Lan Fuzi.

She stared at Zhou Sichen warily, her soul power fluctuating violently.

Although she did not condone her mother's indiscriminate killings, she would never hesitate when it came to matters concerning her mother's safety.

"Mother, are you alright?" Lan Fuzi asked in a low voice, her gaze never leaving Zhou Sichen.

Zhou Sichen noticed the tense soul power fluctuations around Lan Fuzi, raised his hand in a gesture of restraint, and smiled with just the right amount of gentleness:
"You don't need to be so wary. If I really wanted to harm Senior Demon Emperor, the best opportunity would have been when I opened my Sea of ​​Spirit."

His voice was steady and powerful, with a unique tremor of spiritual energy at the end, which inexplicably made Lan Fuzi feel a sense of security.

Upon hearing this, Lan Fuzi stared at the human before her with her purple eyes as if they were deep-sea whirlpools.

The sea breeze ruffled her long, light blue hair, the pearls adorning it jingling softly with her movements. After a long pause, she slowly spoke: "Your aura... is strange."

She tilted her head and pondered for a moment, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes. "It doesn't feel like the aura of an ordinary human. Instead, it reminds me of some ancient spirit I encountered in the deep sea when I was a child. It was warm and had a power that made people feel close to it."

Zhou Sichen's heart stirred slightly, but his smile widened: "What a coincidence! I also feel an instant connection with you, young lady. My name is Zhou Sichen. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

“Zhou Sichen…” Lan Fuzi chewed on the name repeatedly, then suddenly smiled, revealing two sharp canine teeth: “My name is Lan Fuzi.”

Before he could finish speaking, a stunningly beautiful figure appeared silently beside Zhou Sichen.

Snow Empress's silver hair moved without wind, and her icy blue eyes were as cold as polar glaciers. She first swept over the Demon Emperor who was still absorbing memories, and finally fixed her gaze on Blue Buddha.

Her body was enveloped in a chilling aura that condensed into tiny ice crystals, which still reflected a cold light even in the night: "Such a young man with 100,000 years of cultivation, I have underestimated the Deep Sea Demon Whale Clan."

Lan Fuzi trembled slightly under Xue Di's gaze, but still straightened her back and retorted: "My cultivation is not based on indiscriminate killing of innocents!"

She pointed to the churning sea in the distance: "I and those deep-sea evil spirits devour our own kind and harm living beings. I'm just cleaning up the dregs for the ocean!"

“Last month I wiped out a swarm of Soul-Eating Octopuses that were lurking in the reef trenches. Those creatures prey on baby whales and don’t even spare human fishermen!”

Zhou Sichen crossed his arms. He had seen too many people who committed murder under the guise of "justice," and he remained noncommittal about Lan Fuzi's words.

Snow Empress sneered, ice shards spreading beneath her feet: "The law of the jungle is the rule of survival, you don't need to argue."

Her gaze swept over Lan Fuzi: "However, to have cultivated one's talent to such an extent, one must be quite capable."

Lan Fuzi's competitive spirit was ignited by Xue Di's attitude. The seawater around him suddenly boiled, transforming into a huge whale phantom that hovered above his head: "So what if she's an Ice and Snow Maiden? Want to try my Deep Sea Demon Whale Devouring?"

Before she could finish speaking, the Demon Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, and his demonic energy surged, instantly enveloping the two people facing each other.

"Enough." The Demon Emperor's voice was deep and rumbling like thunder. His purplish-black pupils swept over Lan Fuzi, who immediately wilted.

The Demon Emperor turned to Zhou Sichen, his eyes gleaming with scrutiny: "There are still many hidden parts in your memories."

She paused, took two steps forward, and placed her delicate hand on Zhou Sichen's shoulder. "However, considering your initiative in showing goodwill, I'll accept this collaboration."

Zhou Sichen calmly removed the demonic energy from his shoulder. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lan Fuzi hiding behind the Demon Emperor and making faces at him. He suddenly found the mother and daughter to be much more interesting than he had imagined.

Under normal circumstances, this mother and daughter look no different from ordinary people.

Zhou Sichen had naturally expected that the Demon Emperor would agree to cooperate.

After all, the mental memories he gave to the Demon Emperor contained his talent, current strength, the power that was about to unify the Douluo Continent, the wonders of the Spirit Pagoda, and the support from the far north and the Star Dou Great Forest...

With all these advantages combined, it's actually enough to hunt down even the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor saw Zhou Sichen's sincerity and naturally had no reason not to cooperate.

Moreover, the Demon Emperor himself was well aware that the Soul Beast race had little hope of achieving godhood due to the restrictions imposed by the God Realm.

Otherwise, why would her husband have been trapped by the last shackle?

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King from ten thousand years ago was a being who rivaled the first Sea God. In the world of soul beasts, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was exceptionally talented and could dominate an entire generation.

Even the formidable Deep Sea Demon Whale King couldn't overcome the final hurdle, which speaks volumes.

Therefore, the Demon Emperor had no reason to refuse Zhou Sichen's offer of goodwill and cooperation.

She had even fallen for him.

Although not as eager as the Sea Princess, cooperating with Zhou Sichen is undoubtedly a good choice.

However, the Demon Queen still harbored some worries deep down, because of her husband's death, she still held a somewhat distrustful attitude towards humans.

What if, what if, Zhou Sichen's things are fake?
