Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

There is no distinction between friend and foe; perhaps in the minds of these tentacles, these creatures are merely their food.

"Delicious, indeed delicious, but unfortunately, it's missing some seasoning."

"My lord, I know what you need. This is the sacred energy extracted from the energy that Lin Xueyin unleashed. This is the greatest tonic."

As he spoke, he threw a crystal filled with divine energy into the six-pointed star magic circle, which was followed by a burst of energy.

"Very good, this is the scent. I need this woman. She has a scent that I like, a sacred scent that makes me want to ravage her."

"Find her, capture her, and bring her back. I want her to be mine. I want her to live in endless darkness, unaware of life, unaware of death, just withered and lifeless."

Is this some kind of grudge? The high priest didn't really understand what the demon god meant, but he knew what he had to do: as long as he brought the person back alive, he wouldn't need to think about or do anything else.

"Uh, what's going on? What's going on? No, those stone carvings are wrong, there's something wrong with them. Damn it, don't you guys know to check them? But this won't stump me, I've already found a way."

A hesitant voice came from within the magic circle, filled with strong doubt, which made the demon god inside exclaim in disbelief, and even become somewhat exasperated.

"This little trick is no match for me. Break it..."

Once again, the dark energy erupted suddenly, assaulting an unseen sealing barrier. Beneath the crimson moon, a faint ripple gradually appeared, as if the sealing barrier lay beneath the crimson moon itself.

"Haha, your petty tricks are no match for a demon god like me. You're utterly clueless... No, that divine energy and that stone sculpture, damn it, I won't be defeated so easily. Remember this. I'll break free soon, and then I'll send this world back to the abyss of death."

What was originally pure dark energy changed color in an instant, actually merging with the barrier of the ripple to become the energy to replenish the seal, making the seal that could have been broken through incredibly stable once again.

Watching the dark pillar of light transform into the color she desired from afar, Lin Xueyin's eyes crinkled into two crescent moons with laughter.

You dare to secretly steal my energy? Do you really think you're just a figurehead as a holy priest? If I don't give you a good thrashing inside, you probably won't know how powerful you are.

Previously, Lin Xueyin felt that there was something going on with the two stone sculptures she had acquired. After that, she was assassinated and chased. These things seemed to be done by those human nobles. However, upon closer examination, it became clear that things were not so simple.

As a seasoned otaku, even if I haven't completely lost all my integrity, it's gradually disappearing. If I don't trick those people a little, how can I face the passersby who picked up my integrity?

Breaking the seal? Ha, I'll see how those people unseal you then. Moreover, after this incident, those previously hidden cursed temples have surfaced, and some have even started promoting them. It's truly an unexpected surprise.

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God - Chapter 17 Chaos

Lin Xueyin stood alone by her window, looking at the terrifying "night" outside. A cold smile played on her lips—a smile of mockery, indifference, or perhaps disregard for the unknown demon god.

However, while there wasn't much activity on their side, Elufina was going crazy with work. She had initially thought that the Cursed Temple was just a church organization, but after their outburst, she realized that she had underestimated them.

The followers of the Cursed Temple managed to infiltrate the Demon King's Castle without anyone noticing, and many of the guards began to act in a frenzied manner.

With a furrowed brow, Elufelna had already killed several guards, and even some defenseless maids had joined the fray, causing a commotion throughout the Demon King's castle.

"Damn it, I really underestimated these cursed temples before. But it's fortunate that we banned them in advance, which stopped them from developing recently. Otherwise, who knows what kind of trouble they would have caused."

Xiao Xueyin really is my lucky star. I silently gave my little wife a thumbs up in my heart, which eased my somewhat heavy mood a little.

In the city of Shanghai, a group of somewhat deranged followers of the Cursed Temple began their fervent proselytizing to those around them. While normal proselytizing might have been acceptable, they launched brutal attacks on those who refused to believe, resulting in the deaths of many innocent people who were caught off guard and killed.

Blood stained the streets in an instant, and this situation was not limited to the Demon City; it had varying effects throughout the Demon Realm. The more remote the area, the more chaotic it became.

"The Demon God is about to awaken. Only by entering the Temple of Curses can we gain eternal life in the future. Come, let us..."

"Are you crazy? You've all been classified as an illegal organization, and you still dare to show yourselves? Uh..."

The long blade pierced through the body, and the speaker saw only the crazed look in the other's eyes, followed by endless darkness. Death unfolded everywhere, and those fanatical missionaries had already begun their most insane actions.

"For the glory of the Demon God, kill those heretics, kill those who refuse to believe."

"The Demon God said that he needs power, more blood, and more sacrifices, and death is the best remedy."

The chaos that began with the demon race gradually gave neighboring countries an opportunity, hoping to take advantage of the situation and tear a piece off the continent's overlord. In fact, the human race has begun to amassed troops on the border, showing signs of being ready to send troops to the demon race at any time.

The elves, a race that originally loved peace, had now sent their green dragon legion into flight, led by Princess Fallen Feather Kalansil, heading swiftly towards the demons.

The isolated Dragon Island also began to take action. The dragons, who had been sleeping, gradually awoke from their deep slumber. Sensing the demonic aura filling the air, they let out a deafening roar.

The beastmen remained silent, making no move, coldly observing the restless fools around them. The Beast King, however, mocked them coldly.

"Your Majesty, are we really not going to join the coalition?"

"That's right. The Elf race has already dispatched the Green Dragon Legion, and they will probably be able to attack the Demon City soon. The Human race has also amassed hundreds of thousands of troops and can confront the Demons at any time. The Lizard race has also begun to assemble its forces. Are we really not going to take action?"

Oscreel chuckled, looking at the restless generals and ministers below. In their eyes, he saw doubt about him, and of course, he understood what they were doubting.

He could tolerate doubting his own courage and whether he had lost the honor of being a beastman, but he absolutely could not agree to attacking the demon race.

Not to mention that the threat of the demon god has already emerged, internal strife would only greatly weaken the strength of each race. Apart from fools like the human race, probably no one would want to cause trouble at this time.

As for the elves, they are also one of the ancient races, and naturally understand the importance and urgency of matters. Who says that the Green Dragon Legion's expedition must be to declare war on the Demon Race? To say that just because they flew directly to Shanghai is far too frivolous.

Of course, there is another crucial reason: who is the commander of this elven expedition? The elven princess, Fallen Feather Karansir, and her past relationship with Lin Xueyin has long been known to the intelligence systems of various countries.

The true purpose of this expedition is still uncertain. If the orcs launch an attack regardless of the consequences, is there any doubt about the final outcome?

"Your Majesty, are we really just going to stand by and watch them profit from the demons without taking any action?"

"Heh, are you so sure they can get something out of Lin Xueyin and the Demon King?" Oskell looked at the crowd below with a wry smile. Have these people really forgotten that the Demon Clan not only has a Demon King, but also a Queen?

What kind of existence is that little girl to the beastmen? Don't these people have any idea?

"Wasn't that girl captured by the Demon King? How could she possibly be truly loyal to him?"

Although I know that the Demon King Elphielna dotes on Lin Xueyin, I have also heard that she often punishes girls by making them unable to get out of bed for a whole day. Can someone like that really win the heart of that girl?

The beastmen have always been grateful and will repay kindness. When Lin Xueyin was with the beastmen, she saved the Beast King, helped the beastmen quell the rebellion, and was even imprisoned because of the alliance between the beastmen and the humans. All of this was remembered by the beastmen. Now, her intentions will also influence the choices of most people.

"Who knows? We don't need to rush right now. I think we can prepare to send troops, but it doesn't really matter who we send troops to. We can just choose sides whenever we want."

Oskel looked at the crimson blood moon outside, smiled bitterly for a moment, never expecting that he would also face the threat of the demon god's descent. Perhaps only he knew what preparations he was making by gathering his troops.

The vampires, too, began assembling their forces. However, their objective was simple: they had always been demon spies within the orc alliance, and their loyalty to the Demon King was beyond question. Having assembled their troops early, they were ready to deliver a swift and decisive blow to any race that dared to cause trouble within the demon realm at this time.

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God: Chapter 18 The Human Race's Ambition

"Father, do you really intend to launch an attack on the demons at this time? If we fail, we may find it difficult to gain their forgiveness."

King Edward looked at the prince standing below, who was constantly offering him advice, and shook his head helplessly. "This opportunity is once in a lifetime. The demons are already too busy to help themselves. As long as we advance our army into the Ten Thousand Mountains, we will soon receive their support."

"Father, do you know that even a centipede with a hundred legs does not die easily? Even if those people from the Cursed Temple are causing trouble inside, they can be wiped out by the powerful demons with a wave of their hands. If we send troops then, it will only make the demons oppose our empire again. When the army descends from the sky, what will we use to resist?"

“Your Highness, you are boosting the morale of others while diminishing our own. You must know that the Demon Clan is currently facing internal turmoil at the Temple of Curses, the imminent arrival of the Demon God, and the Green Dragon Legion of the Elves heading straight for the Demon Capital. Beset by internal and external troubles, if we send troops, our empire can gain a large amount of territory. Such opportunities to expand our territory are not available every time.”

“That’s right, Your Majesty. Opportunity knocks but once. We cannot sit idly by and wait for this golden opportunity. If other races seize it first, our strength will naturally be greatly diminished as the tide turns.”

Many nobles were already thinking about how to establish their own territories on the land of the demons; their eyes were already occupied by those illusory benefits.

"Father, Xueyin is still with the Demon Clan. If we send troops, what will happen to Xueyin? Our current position is because Xueyin is by the Demon King's side."

"What does it matter if we lose a little Lin Xueyin for the sake of our empire's great cause? Besides, she's in the Demon King's hands now, and she's probably no longer the pure and innocent little priest. A priest defiled by the Demon King should atone with her death."

"you..."

“Your Highness, you are a princess of our empire. Shouldn’t you prioritize the interests of the empire? Blinded by friendship, you are probably no longer able to handle problems calmly.”

"You, you're doing this! Xueyin sacrificed herself for humanity, yet you still want to sacrifice her. Isn't she a member of our human race, a member of our empire? Should she be betrayed and abandoned by us time and time again?"

“Irabelle, you’re exaggerating. We’re only sending troops to the Demon Clan; we’re not saying we’re going to completely abandon her. However, the Demon King’s decision is no longer within our control. I believe Pastor Lin will be lucky and nothing will go wrong.”

Good people are always blessed by heaven. Who can believe such a saying? Looking at his somewhat unfamiliar father, he had gradually changed since the imperial power had been increasing. Especially under the flattery of the nobles, all he could think about was expanding the territory and achieving unparalleled hegemony.

But is it really that simple? The Elven race has mobilized the Green Dragon Legion, but their purpose is unclear, and no relevant information has been leaked. The Cursed Temple is nothing more than a minor nuisance to the Demon race, not worth worrying about.

The Demon God is about to be unsealed, but is the Demon God's target truly only the demon race? If, in the future, the Demon God points its sword at the Empire, how will we defend ourselves after losing the demon race as an ally? Haven't these fathers considered this?

"Father..."

"Hmph, alright, I've already contacted the people of the Cursed Temple. Once the Demon God awakens, we will gain more territory. At that time, we will become the new overlords of the continent. Don't you want to see our empire become powerful?"

"Father, are the words of those cursed temples really that credible? Should we just believe them? What if the demon god is born and goes back on his word? How will we fight against him then?"

Prince Ikux stopped his sister from speaking, insisting that Lin Xueyin was meaningless. These people were blinded by their own interests and didn't care about the sacrifices of others.

"With the contract in place, even the Demon God himself probably wouldn't easily go back on his word. Besides, I think Lin Xueyin will be happy when our human race achieves unparalleled glory."

“What joy can a person who has been betrayed by her own race possibly have, Father…”

"How dare you, Irabel! You are still a princess of the empire, how can you always let a woman blind you? Get down, get down!"

"I..."

"Guards, take Her Highness away and do not let her step out of her room again."

Soon, several guards appeared beside Irabel and forcibly took the princess away. Irabel, who had always presented a cold face, now had an expression full of pain.

Seeing this, Ikux knew that the matter was already irreversible and wondered what the future of the empire would hold. "Father, I want to go see my sister."

King Edward frowned slightly, knowing he still hadn't convinced his son. He could only sigh, "You and your sister should think it over carefully. The opportunity is right in front of us, how can I not make a move? Don't say I haven't thought it through, it's just that I've always relied on Lin Xueyin's favor to gain this position. What if she falls out of favor one day?"

Ikux listened silently to his father's words, which seemed to be persuading him as well as persuading himself.

"Lin Xueyin is a human, and her lifespan is far inferior to that of the Demon King. I'm afraid that when Lin Xueyin grows old, the Demon King will still be so young. At that time, who can guarantee that another Lin Xueyin won't appear in other races, and who can guarantee that the interests of our empire won't be violated?"

Ikux let out a long sigh, looked at his father on the throne, and finally turned to leave. At this moment, he couldn't persuade his father, and his father couldn't persuade him either. So be it; time would tell them what the outcome would be.

However, at that time, it would truly be a final judgment on the empire and on humanity. Ikux knew that they were now walking a tightrope; whether they were dealing with a tiger for its skin or seizing the opportunity, the final outcome was no longer something that humanity itself could determine.

They walked away slowly, leaving behind the still-intense hall. Inside, they seemed to have trampled the demons underfoot, but they hadn't considered that the demons themselves didn't impose many restrictions on the human race. If they had recruited another powerful being, would things really be better than they were now?

Lin Xueyin, if you were here, what would you think?

Volume 10: The Reviving Demon God - Chapter 19: The Arrival of the Elf Race

A massive, emerald-green dragon slowly descended in front of the main gate of the Demon City. Hundreds of green dragons formed a powerful legion and arrived in the Demon Clan's territory.

Luo Yu, the elven princess, leaped down from the green dragon's head, landing lightly on the ground like a drifting catkin in the wind.

As soon as her delicate feet, clad in light green boots, touched the ground, she gracefully approached the many powerful demons who were waiting for her at the gate.

"What, is this all the people who came here to greet us?"

"Can't we welcome her?" Faced with the elven princess's question, the demon general spoke coldly, neither too friendly nor too distant.

"We're here to support you."

"No need, we demons can handle it ourselves." The general still didn't take these people seriously. With His Majesty the Demon King around, what could the Demon God do even if he returned? They had a mysterious trust in the Demon King.

"Hmph, I never imagined that the Demon Clan would treat guests so casually."

"Of course not. We demons are very hospitable to our guests, but we are a different story when it comes to guests with ulterior motives."
