Chapter 816: Make Long Haochen Become the Demon God Emperor? (I)

Exactly because he needed time that Long Haochen did not correct the Demon God Emperor. Instead, he asked curiously, “Are there any chances that exist among us at all?”

The Demon God Emperor smiled, “Of course there are. You may not know, but when I saw you for the first time, my instinct told me that you would grow to a level where I’d have to take you seriously. And that time, if I’ve remembered correctly, was at the Exorcist Mountain Pass. You were as weak as an ant back then. I could sense your talent and physique. If I wanted to kill you back then, it would have been a piece of cake. Did you really think that just the people from the Demon God Slayers could really stop me?”

What the Demon God Emperor said influenced Long Haochen greatly. Did he notice me back in the Exorcist Mountain Pass? It surprised Long Haochen. That was indeed the first time he saw the Demon God Emperor! Back then, he was just a provisional demon hunter, undergoing trials at the Exorcist Mountain Pass. It was also the first time he saw the Demon God Emperor. However, he never imagined the Demon God Emperor would notice such a weak demon hunter like him. From how the Demon God Emperor had said that they first met at Exorcity Mountain Pass, Long Haochen was able to believe his words. Indeed, if the Demon God Emperor wanted to kill him back then, it could not have been any easier for him to succeed.

“The reason why I didn’t kill you was obviously not out of benevolence. Instead, I wanted to raise you, to let you mature completely. My final objective was to make you one of my potential successors. Of course, at that time, even though you held a place in my heart, it was still below Ah’Bao’s.”

With that, the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass could not help but call into an uproar. As a series of disdainful curses rang out. The only one who remained silent was Long Xingyu. His gaze suddenly became sharp as he subconsciously tensed his fists as he stared at the Demon God Emperor in the distance, as if he was ready to charge out and throw his life at the Demon God Emperor at any time.

“Are you dreaming? You’re darkness, and I’m light.” Long Haochen was also in great doubt. The Demon God Emperor had actually said that he wanted him to succeed him? Wasn’t he joking? However, when he thought about when the Demon God Emperor killed him in the Star Demon Pagoda, Long Haochen realised something was off. With the Demon God Emperor’s identity and status, he would never do anything aimlessly.

The Demon God Emperor smiled indifferently, “What is light and darkness? Once light has burned to the end, it is darkness. You crippled Ah’Bao, so I really don’t have a suitable successor now. If you are willing to abandon the humans and join my race, then you will be my first successor in line. If you are willing to hand over the remnants of the Goddess of Nature, then I can even pass the position to you immediately and halt all battles against humans. With the powers of my Devil Dragon Pillar, converting your light to darkness is nothing difficult.”

Shock filled the entire Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. No one had thought the Demon God Emperor would say something like that after arriving at the mountain pass. He was actually trying to recruit Long Haochen and his method about it was utterly shocking.

Long Haochen only needed to hand over some remnant of something and he could become the new Demon God Emperor, as well as stop this holy war completely. What was this? This was completely unbelievable. No one had guessed that a twist like this would happen when the chairman of the Temple Union, Long Haochen, met the greatest demon god, the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu.

Long Haochen had also become rather stunned. He had heavy suspicion over whether the Demon God Emperor had gone insane, nor was he able to understand what the Demon God Emperor was trying to say.

Make him become the Demon God Emperor and convert him from light to darkness, as well as hand over Ye Xiaolei. Wasn’t the Demon God Emperor afraid that he would completely destroy the demons upon becoming their leader? However, from how calm the Demon God Emperor seemed, he did not appear to be joking.

“It’s a very tempting offer.” Although Long Haochen was shocked inside, he remained calm on the surface. He was the chairman of the Temple Union, the ruler who held the greatest authority among the humans. If he became unsettled before the Demon God Emperor, the morale of the entire mountain pass would definitely plummet. Once that had happened, how were they supposed to fend off the Demon God Emperor?

“Your majesty, don’t you find that trying to drive us apart through such a clumsy method is pointless? The future of the Shengmo Dalu belongs only to the humans. There will be no demons. Since that’s the case, is there a need for a Demon God Emperor? Your majesty, if you want to fight, then let’s fight. There’s no need to say any other words without substance like that.”

Long Haochen’s rebuke was rather powerless, but combined with his calm voice and powerful aura, it was still very effective.

Fengxiu smiled. He obviously could tell that Long Haochen had become rather uneasy.

“I’ll give you three days to consider it. Give me an answer then. If you don’t yield, then you will die. It’s just like what I said before. I killed you once, so I can kill you a second time. Before the interests of my race, everything is useless.”

The dark golden light subsided and the Demon God Emperor directly faded away in the sky. The golden light from the Devil Dragon Pillar also slowly receded.

Three days? Long Haochen also smiled. Dragging it out was fantastic! Wasn’t the exact thing he wished for buying time?

And, Long Haochen immediately understood the Demon God Emperor’s intentions. He was the same, also looking forward to the outcomes of the battles at the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. Once the two demon armies had breached the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass, their Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass would be in danger.

However, what Long Haochen did not understand was why the Demon God Emperor did not launch an attack. If he and the powerhouses that had accompanied him launched a full strength assault, it would be a terrifying threat to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Long Haochen would definitely have to use all of his trump cards and he himself would not know how long he could last. According to Ye Xiaolei, even if he used all of his powers, it was very difficult for him to defeat the Demon God Emperor. There was not the slightest hope at all.

Returning to the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass, Long Haochen immediately held a meeting and mentioned his guess about the Demon God Emperor waiting for the outcomes of the two forts.

“The Demon God Emperor must have sensed that we’ve gathered enough forces in the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass to threaten his army, which is why he hasn’t declared a battle immediately. He wants to wait for us to fall into disorder first,” Long Haochen said sternly.

Long Tianyin nodded, “I agree. However, that’s quite a horrible reason he’s come up with to avoid battle immediately. He actually wants you to become the Demon God Emperor. Maybe something’s happened to his head when he cultivated.”

With that, everyone immediately smiled out of good will.

Long Haochen said, “No matter what, these three days are extremely precious to us. According to our estimates, there’ll be one day at most before the battles at the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass begin. The scales of victory on our side are closely related to the battles there. Let’s hope everything is successful.”

Yang Haohan said, “The Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass has already made all preparations. Even if the Demon God Emperor tries to take the mountain pass by force, it won’t be that easy.”

Long Haochen smiled, “This is only the beginning of the holy war. Pay close attention to the movements of the demons at all times. Although the Demon God Emperor said three days, we can’t be careless.”

Orders were quickly passed down. What Long Haochen failed to realise that seated towards the back, his own father Long Xingyu’s complexion was rather bad, as if something was bothering him.

As expected, the Demon God Emperor settled down twenty-five kilometers away from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass in the demon camp. After ending his conversation with Long Haochen, he even organised all of the demon gods to disperse the auras of their demon god pillars. As a result, it was very difficult to see their encampment from the Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass unless there was a high visibility.

The Demon God Emperor was currently in a good mood. Although Ah’Bao had been injured, he indirectly verified that Haoyue was really dead, thus his worries had vanished. He had returned to how he was before. As he ordered his army to remain alert, as well as to rest up. He also ordered Agares to contact the Demon God of Death Samigina and Hell Demon God Marbas, telling them to immediately report back once there was news.

No one knew exactly what the Demon God Emperor was thinking right now. Even the people closest to him could not guess his thoughts.

Leaning back on a bed, the Demon God Emperor squinted his eyes as if he was thinking of something. “Leng Xiao?” He suddenly murmured his daughter’s name, before gently shaking his head.

“Although Ah’Bao is strongheaded, he’s usually able to see the bigger picture rather well and he’s willing to put up with hardships. He also possesses the fine bloodline of the imperial clan. Leng Xiao’s bloodline is not as pure as Ah’Bao’s. Her mother’s bloodline is not pure enough. And, this girl is more bold than wise. She won’t be able to bear the burden. This really does trouble me.”

As he said that, the Demon God Emperor slowly sat up. He unknowingly thought of Long Haochen that had faced him twenty-five kilometers away earlier today.

The Demon God Emperor smiled mysteriously, “What a Long Haochen. Using the might of the supra divine tool, he should possess a cultivation close to the eighth rank of the ninth step. If he really does have any trump cards hidden, he should be able to go beyond that and he’s not even thirty yet. Ah’Bao pales in comparison to him over many aspects. Even though his bloodline is not pure enough, not even as pure as Leng Xiao’s, but his bloodline from the other side is extremely pure! If he is willing to yield in the end and willing to have his bloodline and element converted, the demons will definitely become even more prosperous in the next thousand years. He’s the only existence that might surpass me in the future as well. He even possesses the position of god that I require the most.”

“Very good, very good… Without Austin Griffin estranging us, is there anyone that is a better successor than him? In this world, there really isn’t anything I can’t do. What’s a chairman of a union supposed to amount to? The entire Temple Union’s about to collapse, invaded by my armies, while he’ll be pinned down here, unable to do anything. When he’s forced to just watch the massacre of humans, he will obviously make up his mind.”
