Douluo Continent: Starting from Leading Ferocious Beasts to Transform into Demons

Chapter 45 The Old Emperor's Unique Ideas

"What did Master Lu say again, about that sea god's behavior?"

Looking in the direction of the dissipating phantom of the sea god, Xiong Jun nudged the Crimson King beside him.

"Showing off, yes, that's what showing off is all about."

The Red King used his three brains to carefully search his memories and finally found the right words to describe it.

"Master Lu also said that showing off will get you struck by lightning and you'll easily get beaten up."

"No wonder I was itching to slap him right then and there."

Xiong Jun stared at his paws and muttered to himself.

"Enough with the talk, are all the array pillars in place?"

The Crimson King laughed and cursed, saying that he was of the fire element and was inherently at odds with the Sea God, and that he actually wanted to burn him to death as well.

"That's about it, just a few left. We'll put them in place tomorrow."

Although Mr. Xiong said this, his tone did not sound as relaxed as if the matter was about to end.

He now suspects that he might be possessed by something. Most of the metal veins that have become spirits in the Star Dou Great Forest were discovered by him, and they were all encountered when he was planting pillars. His master was right after all.

The Red King also realized this, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.

"Still laughing? If we meet again tomorrow, I will recommend you to the Lord to be stationed there."

Xiong Jun said irritably.

"I can't leave here for the time being, so I can't go."

The Crimson King shook his head, showing no fear whatsoever, knowing the importance of using fire.

Xiong Jun thought about it and realized it was true. He felt even more depressed and casually found a roadside rock to sit down.

"Um?"

Xiong Jun felt something moving under his buttocks, stood up and turned to look at the rock.

"So heavy~"

A faint thought emanated from the stone.

"asshole!"

Xiong Jun's aura surged, and he raised his hand as if to strike down with a palm. After hesitating for a moment, he finally lowered his hand and walked toward the Lake of Life with a dark face.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! It's always you, Xiong Jun!"

The Red King's three heads burst into laughter simultaneously, his earlier guess coming true.

No, he had to share this with the other demons.

As expected, the demons burst into laughter. Xiong Jun's luck was truly unparalleled.

"The Sea God has already reached that Shrek Academy, and it seems he's going to gather the power of the entire continent to destroy us."

The three-eyed golden lion basked in the sun leisurely, casually recounting the scene it had deduced once again.

"The power of the soul beasts should be gathered together, and the power of other soul beast gathering places should also be increased."

Gu Yuena opened her eyes and scanned the group of demons.

"Xiong Jun, go to the far north. Zi Ji, go to the Demon Forest. Di Tian, ​​go to other settlements to search for any missing soul beasts."

Gu Yuena calmly assigned tasks. Her strength had almost fully recovered. With her guarding the Star Dou Great Forest, it was safe and sound. Even if Tang San came, he could still put up a fight.

"Yes, my lord!"

The three demons agreed, and Xiong Jun was overjoyed, beaming with delight.

We're not even in the Star Dou Great Forest anymore, so there's no way we'd encounter those creatures again.

The demons all realized why Xiong Jun was happy and laughed. This guy's luck was truly bizarre.

"My lord, a human titled Douluo has entered the Star Dou Great Forest."

The Demon King's tone was filled with confusion. Anyone who dares to enter the Star Dou Great Forest at this time must be a fool.

A flash of silver light appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes, and a human figure appeared before the demons.

Kong Deming stared in horror at the soul beasts before him. Each of them exuded a terrifying aura, and Kong Deming even felt that he could not defeat any of them.

"Lu Wu sent me!"

Kong Deming did not delay and immediately called out Lu Wu's name, fearing that the other party would kill him directly.

"Lu Shi?"

The demons were puzzled, but they did not express any doubt. Only they knew Master Lu's name, and the fact that the human in front of them knew it meant that he had already met Master Lu.

"Human, what are your orders, Master Lu?"

Gu Yuena's tone was somewhat surprised. Master Lu hadn't appeared for some time, but they didn't dare to look for him. They didn't expect him to have gone to the human world.

"Master Lu asked you to help our Sun Moon Empire transform into demons and join the demon race."

After some thought, Kong Deming understood what Lu Wu meant: if a large part of one's bloodline is that of a soul beast, then can he still be considered human?

However, the Sun Moon Empire had no choice. Since the humans couldn't accept them, they would join the demon race. And judging from their performance that day, the soul beasts might actually win.

"A sorcerer?"

Gu Yuena lowered her head and murmured.

Lu Wu had told her about this before, but it was only to cause the human race to split after defeating them, and to accelerate the integration of humans into the demon race in the process of fighting.

"What bloodline do you want?"

Gu Yuena is in a good mood right now, so it's not unreasonable for her to want her.

"As you see fit."

Kong Deming bowed slightly, but the old emperor's reaction came to mind.

……

"Elder Kong, is it true? The soul beasts are willing to accept us?"

In his excitement, the old emperor coughed up a pool of black blood before finally asking the question.

"That's right. Judging from what that person means, they want us to mix with the bloodline of soul beasts, so that we can barely be considered as demons."

Kong Deming looked at the old emperor's aged face and sighed slightly. The emperor was really going to die.

"Heaven will not forsake my Sun and Moon Empire! Heaven will not forsake my Sun and Moon Empire!"

The old emperor laughed heartily, his previously weary body now seemingly full of vitality.

"Poseidon, to hell with you, Poseidon! You shameless bastard, interfering with the continent! I'm not going to associate with you humans anymore!"

In his excitement, the old emperor also swore.

He truly hadn't expected such a method; it was like a godsend.

"Master Kong, do you know? This matter is actually similar to the methods I used when I was emperor. You can accept it if you just look at it from a different perspective."

Kong Deming looked at the old emperor with a puzzled expression, not quite understanding his meaning.

"According to that person, he is a being from beyond the realm, the ancestor of demons."

The old emperor looked at Kong Deming with a smile in his eyes.

"That's right, that's exactly it."

Kong Deming recalled the situation at the time and nodded.

"So, is his status equivalent to that of the emperor? Does he view us and the soul beasts like I look at my ministers from the dragon throne?"

Kong Deming seemed to understand the old emperor's meaning.

Seeing that Kong Deming had grasped the concept, the old emperor clapped his hands and laughed.

"Soul beasts are equivalent to the native factions of our Sun Moon Empire, while demons are equivalent to the surrendered factions that have joined the Sun Moon Empire."

"There are many factions within the local faction, and their infighting doesn't bother me. Naturally, the survival of the fittest among soul beasts is the same for that person."

"But when the surrender faction emerges, the local faction will unite, and the two sides will target each other."

"However, this is something I, as emperor, am happy to see. After all, when the people below unite, I have to consider whether my throne is still secure."

"As the emperor, I naturally have close and distant relationships. Soul beasts are close, while demons are distant."

"But sometimes, to appease the surrender faction, I would promote them and become a little closer to them."

"Of course, with that person's power, they might not care about these things."

"Tell me, isn't that person similar to me, the emperor?"

The old emperor smiled, his eyes narrowing, like a cunning old fox.
