Chapter 388: The Real Representative of the Demons

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Divine Gate was right in front of everybody where the Stairway to Heaven extended up. It was a common knowledge that once anyone could get past the stairway, they would gain a huge benefit.

The Humans had two fails, the Octopuses had one, and other clans on the list—especially the Demons, the Devils, and the Ghosts—had their members riled up and ready to try out.

‘The others might not make it, but it doesn’t mean I can’t.’

The Devils had been ‘cared’ for by a certain Eastern Pharos, so they were weak with only an Upper Realm Devil Saint leading them.

The Demons and the Ghosts lack communication among each other, and they did not have a unified custom and culture, and they did not have any united genes.

They rarely met up normally and just kept to themselves, so they had grown to different shapes and sizes and could only identify themselves through the energy they let out.

The ones with Demonic Energy were demons, and the ones with Ghostly Energy were ghosts.

Because of their reception of the Heavenly Edict, they had gathered in one place. Them being able to get along with each other despite not recognizing each other’s appearance had purely been the intimidation of the Azure Dragon.

From the sky, Humans can be seen to surround the four directions of the Divine Gate.

The Devils were gathered southwest of the Divine Gate, the Demons on the northwest, and the Ghosts were congregated on the southeast.

To the Divine Gate’s northeastern region, a riffraff of random clans who had received the Heavenly Edict had gathered.

The Devils had only a dozen or so people, including the one who had just been pulled over. All of them were under the lead of Zhi Nan, and none of them made any sounds.

The Demons in the northwest were vastly different.

They came in all shapes and sizes after receiving the Heavenly Edict, totaling thousands in number cramping and sharing the space.

Like the Humans, there were plenty of quarrels happening within the three days.

In the fighting and quarreling, a temporary leader was chosen to arrange the matter about scaling the stairway.

“Hehe, I am really humbled. Since everyone was so insistent, I shall take my place as the Demon Leader temporarily. I shall attempt my hardest to fight for a place for the demons in this Divine Gate. As soon as the job is done, I will step down, and I won’t eat my words,” a tiny elder said as he bowed to everyone present, his posture heroic but unrefined.

“Elder Ancestor, you’re too kind. Who didn’t know of your reputation that even what humans called ‘the Eastern Pharos’ couldn’t do anything to you? You even developed a really nice piece of land in China’s watch. The fame of the Greater Rats had been spread all over the world, we can’t not be impressed.” A Western Wolf Demon said insincerely.

Elder Ancestor Bai chuckled, ignoring the hint of taunting he had recognized.

He had seen enough situations like this in the Upper Realm to not be phased.

“Who is this guy? He looks so much like a human, but he got chosen as the Demon Leader?” A Black Bear Demon that’s standing in the sidelines without any says mouthed off.

“The ignorant are ignorant indeed. It’s from the Upper Realm, and the higher level they are, the closer they can look like a human. It could be a really powerful Rat Demon.” A white pigeon perched on the shoulder of the Black Bear Demon and explained.

“Sh*tb*lls, why would they look higher level if they look like humans? That’s so racist, I don’t want to look like humans in the future.” The Black Bear Demon was not impressed.

“You can grow any which way you want.” The white pigeon stopped explaining.

The minor demons began to gossip. The real decision makers were discussing what they could do next.

“The Humans failed, and the octopus who’d just turned up out of nowhere had too, do you have any idea how to solve this for ourselves, Demon Leader?” The Western Wolf Demon continued to taunt.

“I have a son, he can definitely pass the test,” said Elder Ancestor Bai confidently.

“Huh?”

The crowd heard him and stared.

Elder Ancestor Bai had not suppressed his voice. Every demon—excluding the ones who sought refuge with the humans— were able to fly, being Bucket-levels and beyond.

Therefore, they could hear him clearly and immediately formed a cacophony of noises.

“Is this guy boasting?”

“That’s right, even the spirit bear and the spokesperson of a god couldn’t do it, even the honest-looking octopus couldn’t do it. Who is his son who could solve this predicament?”

Elder Ancestor Bai had been growing his strength quietly in China. He had China’s protection indirectly, but as a result, he was only famous among the truly powerful demons.

As a new face becoming the leader, he had no reputation, so no other demons were afraid of him.

“Hold on a second, you guys. Stop deriding it so hastily, I know this situation, it might be able to succeed,” said a certain lesser demon who frequently read human novels.

At this point, the animal followers of Vigilante A had heard the commotion from beside the Divine Gate, and their gazes fell on Cang Gongzi.

The white hamster was laying on Brett the black dog’s back, nibbling at a chestnut.

Sensing their gazes, the white hamster expressed its confusion through its own gaze.

There was a fish tank sharing the space on its back, which housed Dragon Carp.

Dragon Carp said in bewilderment, “Cang Gongzi, you were fine in your human form, so why did you turn back into your hamster form? That’s so destructive for your image.”

The white hamster responded, “Sir Dragon Carp, I’m not Cang Gongzi, he said he doesn’t want to see someone, so he asked me to take over for a while.”

“Oh, I see. Every family has a skeleton in the cupboard.” Dragon Carp realized.

It had helped Cang Gongzi clean up the Yin Energy arcane realm for a month or so, had learned that there were two spirits sharing the body, as well as learning the politics among the Greater Rat Demon Clan.

Right now, the one controlling the hamster’s body was the newbie of cultivation, Bai Ruocang. He was timid, lazy, and slightly blunt, knowing only to enjoy the fruits that others planted.

“So even if that demon rat asked Cang Gongzi to show up, it will not go?” asked Dragon Carp.

“Definitely not. Cang Gongzi especially despises having to meet him under this circumstance.

Bai Ruocang said as he enjoyed his chestnut as if preparing to watch a show.

He was in the best of moods. Since Cang Gongzi had returned from the underground Greater Rat City, he had already known his father was safe.

It was rare for him to witness a grand gathering like this, so after toiling through the time in the Yin Energy arcane realm, he felt great being outside.

However, the white hamster seemed to have heard something not long after. Its gaze blurred and a mist surged out of its body, revealing a young man in its place.

The black dog was forced into a prostrating position from the change and commented as if it was betrayed, “Dude, if you want to shapeshift into human next time, can you get off me before you do it?”

“I apologize, Brother Brett,” Cang Gongzi helped the black dog up, “I got a little emotional. After this is over, I will throw you a ribs buffet as an apology.”

“Look at you, going all polite and courteous on me. Don’t worry about me, I have thick skin, robust muscles, I’m not so easily hurt.” The black dog smiled happily.

“Fat ass,” said Xue Ba, the yellow dog, while throwing it a side-eye glance. It was explaining the current situation to the white dog.

Cang Gongzi looked intense as he flew into the crowd of demons.

“Who’s this?”

“Looks like he’s a servant of Vigilante A?”

“Dammit, how could we let a servant demon of a human house represent us? Chase him out!” The crowd of demons began to make noise.

“Silence!” Elder Ancestor Bai growled as his pale yellow aura burst out at the crowd of demons.

In that instance, the crowd of demons was scared into stillness.

The intimidation from a powerhouse washed over them, snapping their mouths shut.

No wonder this old, dry-looking elder could become the temporary Demon Leader. With his strength, no one could even top him!

According to the Dragon Clan’s ranking system, this old man would be at the peak of Lake-level!

“This is my son, named Cang. Currently, he’d been offered to head a huge project under the Azure Dragon to reconstruct a certain arcane realm.” Elder Ancestor Bai introduced his son rather proudly.

From his proud look, it was as if he had forgotten his life-and-death rivalry with Vigilante A.

The hunt for his loyal subordinate, the Bai Shiping couple, were also seeming forgotten.

Once a warlord, always a warlord. Cao Cao of the Human Clan 1 could chat and joke with the people who killed his son, let alone him?

For the sake of the welfare of a people, personal vengeance was unworthy of being spoken of.

“Whoa, what a young successful person. He was young, but he has already attained a Pond-level cultivation base, what a rare talent he is.” Some demons from the crowd turned tides and began to praise Cang Gongzi.

After seeing Elder Ancestor Bai’s power, these demons changed their attitude completely.

Fearing the strong was a born instinct of demonkind, just as canines living in the wild would fear tigers.

These demons subconsciously followed the call of Elder Ancestor Bai under the intimidation of his power. They no longer dared to doubt Cang Gongzi’s authority.

Cang Gongzi said nothing and took a glance at Elder Ancestor Bai, who nodded at him as if they had a prior agreement.

Cang Gongzi approached the Chinese staff to register his name and clan.

“Cang, Greater Rat Demon Clan.”

Immediately after, he entered the Divine Gate without hesitation.

The Azure Dragon looked at him from above.

“I don’t know if little Cang could resist this illusion. The Divine Monument had said nothing about this, so I can’t help it to cheat,” Fang Ning said worriedly.

“I don’t know if it can, but I know you can’t, Billionaire Host,” said the System.

“Stop pushing me down, you’re gonna take over my body anyway. I shouldn’t be affected.” Fang Ning said nonchalantly.

“So you wouldn’t be able to show off after spending all that energy on setting it up.”

“Hmph, it won’t go to waste,” said Fang Ning confidently.
