Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now.

Bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, the entire palace was extremely magnificent. The edges of the palace were decorated with exquisite patterns, and in the reflection of the light, it appeared to be a grand palace made entirely of various kinds of fine gold.

Inside the palace, the god sat on a crystal-clear throne that shimmered with faint light, gazing calmly at the two respectful figures below.

"You mean you want to submit to me, the Lord of Fire? What about your former master, Bogang?!"

"You betrayed her. If Bo Gang asks about it, I won't know how to explain it."

He stroked his chin and spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, I have merely abandoned darkness for light. The Lord of the Mountain is insatiable. Your Majesty the Queen is willing to lead the Shadow Kingdom to become your subordinate!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Du immediately chuckled. "Tara, you mean that the creatures of your Shadow Kingdom only obey your Shadow Queen!"

"I dare not accept you easily, after all, it would offend Bo Gang."

When the Dark Kingdom was first established, the God Capital did pay attention to it, but it was just a passing fancy. He didn't care about something that didn't improve his strength.

For example, in the original work, even though the Holy Lord was hanging on the wall and went through countless vicissitudes of time, he never used the Shadow Legion to wander the world in search of his twelve talismans.

The Demon Lord's arrogance led him to disdain using these powers.

Even if the Holy Lord possessed it, it would only be something he could use for running errands.

Tara gritted her teeth, opened her palm, and a wisp of black demonic energy appeared. She said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, this is a portion of the control of the Shadow Kingdom!"

"If His Majesty agrees to accept us, this item will be the power to control the Shadow Kingdom!"

Shen Du did not accept the control of the Shadow Kingdom offered by Tara. Instead, he stared at Tara with some doubt and asked leisurely, "Are you not doing well with Bogang?"

"What's the reason you want to move territory? Interesting!"

"tell me the story."

Tapping her fingers on the throne beside her sent a shiver down Tara's spine. She couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "Your Majesty, Her Majesty the Queen has suddenly passed away and is now in a deep sleep in the Shadow Kingdom for reasons unknown!"

“Even I can’t get close, and with Lord Pogan’s territory shrinking again and again, it’s a real headache for us Shadows to compete with other demons for territory.”

"It would be much easier to pledge allegiance to another demon lord!"

"Oh," Shen Du's expression darkened.

The Jackie Chan Adventures series does not explain how the Shadow Queen disappeared or how she was reincarnated as Cheng Xiaoyu, a righteous woman.

Even the gods couldn't understand this.

However, since the other party had offered themselves up, why would he refuse?

Having considered this, and having taken partial control of the Shadow Kingdom, Shen Du calmly said, "Someone come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the human wizard dressed in black robes stepped forward from the side, knelt on one knee, and said, "May I ask what your orders are, Your Majesty?"

"Take General Tara and find a suitable territory for them to live in."

The words of the god caused the human wizard to pause for a moment.

He then gave a wry smile, “Your Majesty, there is not much land left in your territory to grant to General Tara.”

Shen Du's eyes widened in surprise. "How could the entire ancient Asian continent not have any territory granted to them? Are you kidding me, Evil Underworld?!"

E Ming is the strongest black magic wizard under the command of the God Capital. His strength has reached the level of a great wizard, corresponding to the righteous great magic master of the future.

"Uh..." Evil Spirit noticed a hint of displeasure in God's eyes and quickly spoke up: "Humans occupy forty percent of the territory. This was stipulated by His Highness the Silver Dragon. They are required to offer countless resources every year!"

"The remaining sixty percent was almost entirely bestowed upon the Great Demon under His Majesty's control."

"Therefore, if you want territory, you can only do it through demonic means."

Having said that, Evil Ming lowered his head, fearing that he would be rebuked by the gods.

After all, he didn't see the Fire Lord of the Divine Capital often; in ordinary times, he always obeyed the orders of Prince Silver Dragon.

"The Devil's Way"

“In that case, Tara, I cannot directly provide you with territory.”

"However, with your strength, seizing a few territories shouldn't be a problem, right?"

As Shen Du spoke leisurely, Tara below did not object and nodded in agreement with Shen Du's suggestion.

"In that case, you may step down!"

"If you have anything to say, talk to Ling'er. I think your Shadow Kingdom knew about the things we were offering back in Bogang's territory."

Immediately, Evil Spirit led Tara away, but just as they were about to step out of the hall, God suddenly remembered something and said, "Evil Spirit, tell your black mage to behave himself and not go out and cause any trouble during this time!"

"Otherwise, if you are surrounded and killed by the other demon lords' subordinates, don't come looking for me to seek justice!"

Evil Ming muttered a magic incantation, then followed Tara out of the hall.

Although he didn't know what Shen Du meant by those words, since he had said them, he should transmit them to the black-qi wizard under his command.

"The Shadow Legion!"

As Shen Du raised his hand, a samurai dressed in ninja attire emerged from the shadows, with sharp throwing stars hanging from his waist.

"Come on, let's dance!"

The shadowy warrior, who was on high alert, felt as if the sky had fallen upon hearing these words.

But since the gods were their masters, they had no choice but to obey, and gradually began to dance.

"Uh!" Shen Du watched for a while, then waved his hand to disperse the numerous ninja soldiers.

"Boring!"

Turning his gaze to Ling'er, whom countless demons of the ancient Asian continent revered as the Silver Dragon Princess, he lightly grasped the dragon horn with his wrist. His extremely cold expression instantly became incredibly clear, and he whispered, "Your Majesty, Dragon King, please let go."

“You were once human, but don’t forget, you are now my servant.”

"Do you still miss the time you spent with your sister back then?"

"He is dead. Even with my power, humanity cannot survive for thousands of years."

"You are a dragon, not a human. I have no interest in your protection of humanity over the past thousands of years!"

As they spoke, the god released Ling'er's dragon horns, and the flush on her face gradually faded.

"How is the magic circle I requested coming along? As for the complete magic circle encyclopedia created by Ximu, I don't have enough time to create a top-tier magic circle!"

Ling'er remained silent, took out a book, and handed it to Shen Du.

Seeing this, Shendu took the book and began to flip through it.

"Sky, wind, thunder, fire, water, ice, rain, snow."

"Not bad, not bad"

"This magic circle truly lives up to its reputation as a demon wizard-level formation."

"It wasn't for nothing that I put so much effort into training you. You are the third demon wizard besides me and Ximu."

Ling'er lowered her head and said softly, "Your Majesty flatters me."

"Alright, that's all for now." Shen Du waved his hand, dismissing him.

After saying this, Ling'er hurriedly left the main hall. The gods watched her departing figure, their eyes filled with a myriad of emotions.

Chapter 54 The Trade of Power

"the Eight Immortals."

Shen Du raised his eyes, looking through the palace and down into the vast sky, where wisps of righteous energy were gradually reviving.

Although it is unknown how long it will take, righteousness will eventually be restored, and at that time, the Eight Immortals who sealed the demon will be born.

With its immense power, it suppressed the demon lord.

The ultimate showdown between evil and righteous forces—no one knows the final outcome.

In the original story, the Demon Lord was sealed away and suppressed in the Demon Hell, the Eight Immortals ascended to heaven and left, and the world fell into a state of yin and yang balance.

But now, he has transmigrated into the body of the Holy Lord, and his true form is not the same as the Holy Lord in the original work, a combination of a Western dragon and an Eastern dragon.

It is the true dragon that wields the power of the fire and the true flames of the sun.

His power now far surpasses that of other demon lords, and he has vaguely touched upon the limitations of the world. Even the gods do not know how to break through this limitation.

He had once touched upon the idea of ​​ascending to heaven and leaving this world, just like the Eight Immortals.

But the world of Jackie Chan Adventures seems to restrict his departure.

The reason for all this is still unclear to God, but there is a premonition.

The reason the world restricts him from ascending and leaving like the Eight Immortals may be because he carries the authority of the world's fire.

As the darling of the world, they won't easily allow him to leave.

If I were to truly ascend and depart, the balance of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams might be disrupted, and the world would inevitably pay a heavy price for the departure of Li Huo.

He had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but the idea of ​​ascension was abandoned by the gods. Instead, he thought that since Jackie Chan Adventures required a balance of yin and yang, if the dark side was strong, the righteous side would be even stronger.

In that case, the gods have a bold idea, but the other demon lords might not agree with it.

Even the god himself thought the idea was too absurd.

Perhaps only when even God is desperate would he choose this utterly absurd method.

Black energy suddenly appeared in his eyes, and a scene unfolded in the pupils of the divine capital.

"Zhou Lan, what does he want with me?!"

Wisps of lunar demonic energy slowly emerged from his pupils, and the aura of the Moon Lord, rising from beneath the moon, directly threatened the ancient Asian continent.

A short while later, Zhou Lan arrived at the palace in the capital city with practiced ease, all alone, without a single demon follower.

Since Zhou Lan is the Lord of the Moon, naturally no demon could stop him from arriving.

Their eyes met, their anger and attraction locked in a fierce confrontation.

After a moment, Shen Du said calmly, "Zhou Lan, what do you want with me?"

He wasn't close to Zhou Lan, but among the eight demon lords, he was the only one with a deep friendship with west Mu.

Zhou Lan surveyed the opulent palace and said, "It's all show and no substance."

Shen Du frowned, displeased, and said, "If you, Zhou Lan, came here just to evaluate my palace, that would be far too boring!"
