Chapter 233: Chapter 209: Why Don’t You Become the Demon God?

Wu Xiaode slowly calmed down.

That’s right, this place was indeed Sin Prison, and specifically, the Death Demon Cave within it.

Corpse Mountain was no longer there.

The One-eyed Giant was not there either.

What does this imply?

He had returned to Parallel World No. 1666!

But how could this be?

On the Book of the Dead, a line of ice crystal small characters emerged:

"Note, you originate from world number 1666, thus you have returned to said world."

Wu Xiaode shook his head.

This did not clarify anything.

It seemed that even the Book of the Dead did not know what the exact situation was.

That only left—

"Chi Xiao?" Wu Xiaode called out.

"Ah, I truly did not expect that things would turn out this way," remarked the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit with emotion.

"You should know what’s going on, right?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes, originally when you took out that diamond from the Death World to save the mad old lady of Holy City, she could have told you everything and bridged the gap for you," replied the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit with a troubled tone.

"But at that time, you time-traveled back to three days earlier to duel with the One-eyed Giant, just missing the related information."

"I only know a little bit of news, I’ll tell you now."

The Chi Xiao Sword Spirit floated in mid-air, continuing: "According to legend, in a very remote Past Epoch, three Law Divine Beasts were established to suppress something, and thus they founded Sin Prison."

"Later, they fell into slumber."

"After that, the many worlds of All Worlds deemed Sin Prison an excellent place for incarcerating criminals, and tossed the most ferocious and evil convicts from their civilizations into Sin Prison."

"What we need to do now is to call upon the three Law Divine Beasts."

"If you obtain their commitment and protection, your world will naturally be safe and sound within Sin Prison."

"Our commission would then be accomplished."

Wu Xiaode picked up where it left off: "Why should I go looking for the mad old lady of Holy City?"

"—The mad old lady bears the aura of one of the Law Divine Beasts," declared the Chi Xiao Sword Spirit.

"What about the Prince just now?" Wu Xiaode inquired.

"He was able to directly cast humans and undead into Sin Prison, which proves he received the protection and assistance of another Law Divine Beast."

With that said, the Chi Xiao Divine Sword roamed around uneasily in mid-air for a moment.

"Strange, the three Divine Beasts are supposed to be completely neutral and not easily interfere with the outside world, I do not understand why it would encourage that Prince to commit regicide," expressed the Chi Xiao Divine Sword, puzzled.

Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.

"That’s not right... According to what you’re saying, the Law Divine Beasts should be extremely powerful beings, so why would they allow the old lady to remain in that state of madness, without caring for her at all?" he pondered.

The Chi Xiao Divine Sword spoke with a solemn tone:

"Unclear. I now feel that some things are starting to change. I’ve begun to sense the hidden history within the river of time starting to fluctuate violently; an era may be on the verge of a drastic change."

Wu Xiaode glanced at Nina.

Her face was covered in tears, her body shook uncontrollably, holding back from crying out loud.

"Nina, we’ll try to go back again, we must get to the bottom of this," Wu Xiaode consoled.

Nina nodded, about to speak, when suddenly she fainted.

Wu Xiaode quickly caught her in his arms.

A voice came from a distance:

"She’s about to awaken."

Wu Xiaode looked up to see the middle-aged man standing on the other side of the great hall.

He wore a dark green T-shirt with a chaotic pattern of bright colors, flip-flops on his feet, and a lollipop in his mouth, sizing up Wu Xiaode carefully.

The mightiest Demon God!

"Strange, why have you suddenly appeared in human form?" the middle-aged man questioned.

"Because I need to deal with humans," Wu Xiaode responded naturally.

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Or perhaps you’ve always been human, and you were deceiving me before, weren’t you?"

Wu Xiaode saw a dark skeleton icon appear by the man’s side.

The skeleton head was scorched by endless flames, occasionally emitting silent screams of agony.

—The Demon God’s mood must be very bad.

Perhaps it had already developed the intent to kill.

In that case, every word he said next had to be careful.

If all else failed, only entering "Heavenly Ghost" state would be an option.

Wu Xiaode’s thoughts raced.

A bronze hand, hidden in the fog, formed a sword sign and lightly touched his heart’s back, ready to thrust into his heart at any moment, plunging him into a near-death state.

With such a preparation in place, Wu Xiaode then spoke: "You will never know my true race... after all, I am here to investigate the matter of the Law Divine Beasts."

"You know about the Law Divine Beasts... Alright, what happened on your side?" the middle-aged man asked.

"There’s been a problem in Auffa Country, someone has acquired the protection of a Law Divine Beast," Wu Xiaode replied.

The middle-aged man’s face suddenly twisted into a ferocious expression, whispering low: "But you didn’t resist at all and were sent here, proving that you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Nina in Wu Xiaode’s arms seemed to be triggered by something and suddenly raised her hand saying:

"Save my father—hurry and save him, quick!"

Her eyes closed, she spoke while lifting her hand to release a Summoning Skill.

In the Void, a series of deathly runes appeared, interconnecting into an Array, emanating the fluctuations of summoning power.

—An Undead Summoning Array!

In an instant,

The power of this Array descended upon Wu Xiaode.

That’s right, there was a summoning contract between him and Nina, so as soon as the Undead Summoning Array appeared, it immediately began calling for his arrival.

Wu Xiaode’s mind stirred, instantly responding to the summoning.

The Void opened, and he disappeared in an instant; then, in a flash, he reappeared on the spot.

——This was the completion of an Undead Summoning!

"Poor child," Wu Xiaode still held Nina in his arms, sighing with sympathy.

Across from him, the middle-aged man was stunned.

"Just now, there was an Undead Summoning... but you’re clearly in human form now, why were you summoned as an undead?" the middle-aged man asked, puzzled.

He shook his head and said, "The Laws wouldn’t make a mistake; you must be an undead—"

"Wrong!"

"You were a being I did not know before, so how could you be undead? And now a human again?"

The middle-aged man furrowed his brows deeply.

"Sometimes I am undead, sometimes I am human, and I might be something else at other times, but that is my secret, and there’s no need to tell you," Wu Xiaode said indifferently.

He looked toward the middle-aged man and saw that the skeleton, which had been tormented by Fiery Flames, had disappeared from the Void beside him.

"Interesting, really interesting, this is something I completely do not understand—seems like I still have much to learn," the middle-aged man remarked.

A red heart appeared in the Void beside him.

A red heart...

It should suggest his mood isn’t too bad.

Wu Xiaode asked, "About the Divine Beast of Law, do you have anything you can tell me?"

"Actually, I am more interested in that prophecy about my destiny," the middle-aged man said.

Wu Xiaode thought for a moment and then said, "I can tell you, but what’s in it for me?"

The middle-aged man fell into thought.

Wu Xiaode watched as runes continuously changed in the Void beside the man:

...

This Demon God’s emotions are erratic.

As the boss of these demon gods, why are the fluctuations in his heart so intense?

Wait a second!

The three Divine Beasts are the entities that constructed the prison of sin.

These demon gods have been trapped within the prison, unable to escape.

Now it seems the situation has changed...

Could it be that the circumstances of the demon gods are also starting to shift, hence his unease?

With this thought, Wu Xiaode said, "I previously asked you for that name because I wanted to know who wanted to kill Nina, who initiated the teleportation that sent her to the prison of sin."

"And now?" asked the middle-aged man.

"Now I already know who did it, so I no longer need to ask you for that name," Wu Xiaode said.

"So I have no bargaining chips left," the middle-aged man said.

"That’s right, you have no chips," Wu Xiaode nodded his head.

The bronze hand at his back pressed firmly against him, ready to activate the Sword technique, plunging him into a near-death state at any moment.

Given the other’s frightening strength, only by summoning the Bright Ghost was there a glimmer of hope.

The middle-aged man fell into thought again.

Wu Xiaode did not rush him, merely holding Nina and waiting quietly.

After a short while.

The middle-aged man suddenly looked up at him.

The Book of the Dead immediately opened, revealing lines of ice crystal small print:

"A certain title on the other person has activated and begins to probe your powers."

"Your ’Heavenly Ghost’ is the Law Crown, and even though it has not yet been elevated to high-level, it possesses the power to fully acquire others’ skills."

"Your title and the current Demon God’s title have the same compatibility."

"This probe is neutralized."

Wu Xiaode faced the other person.

"Are you checking on me?" he asked with a smile.

"Yeah, didn’t expect you to have a similar type of title... In a way, we’re kin," the middle-aged man said with a grin.

"Even if kin, for that divination result, I still have to charge a fee," Wu Xiaode said.

"Ha ha, of course," the middle-aged man lit a cigarette, appearing to be in a good mood.

"You know," he exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "very few people can obtain a learning-type title, and in thirty thousand years, you’re the first one I’ve encountered."

"It’s an honor," Wu Xiaode said.

"This proves that you have strength similar to mine, or perhaps you have a power I don’t understand, which is nice," the middle-aged man said.

"Everyone has their trump card, don’t they?" Wu Xiaode said.

"Another question—throughout this long history and the turnovers of eras, what is your stance on existence?" the middle-aged man asked.

Such words, it seemed, already placed him on equal standing.

——Thanks to Nina’s unconscious summoning.

——Fortunate that I activated the Heavenly Ghost, a Law Crown, and even leveled it up!

Wu Xiaode pondered and said:

"I need a safe world, to steer clear of many calamities, where I can recuperate and regroup."

"Just to recuperate?" the middle-aged man asked.

"It’s not just that. I want a place where no one can cause trouble on my turf," Wu Xiaode said.

"It sounds like our interests align in certain aspects," the middle-aged man said.

"Oh? You also want such a place?" Wu Xiaode asked, surprised.

"Yes, it feels like a great upheaval is coming..."

The middle-aged man scratched his head and suddenly, with a casual pull, drew out a token from the Void.

He tossed the token over to him from afar.

A bronze hand materialized in front of Wu Xiaode, catching the token.

"What’s this?" he inquired.

"It’s the Lord’s Token of the Demon God’s underground palace—the One-eyed Giant is dead, why don’t you become a Demon God?"

The middle-aged man seemed to have grasped something, continuing eagerly:

"This way, our interests are aligned."
