Chapter 446: Chapter 249: You’re Still Thinking of Giving Instructions in This State?

"Oh no, the Demon King has been revived!!!"

"Run, it’s going mad..."

Suddenly, the commercial district of Demon King City plunged into chaos as Gu Shanhai and others unearthed a new generation of Hero and simultaneous Demon King, leading to a severe deterioration.

The emergence of Demonic Qi caused the once-normal Demon Clan to be infected once again, turning them into the most loyal soldiers of the Demon King Army.

Carnage erupted immediately.

Seeing this, Gu Shanhai and his companions didn’t bother with details and promptly fled with the Hero.

As for the aftermath in Demon King City, they left it to its fate.

"Uncle, is there a way to save him?" Chu Zhen asked worriedly.

Standing beside him, Liu Lai also felt a sense of shared misery, as all of them were Heroes who ended up in tragic circumstances.

Gu Shanhai was hunted, Chu Zhen humiliated, Liu Lai was confined to a dark dungeon for ’juicing,’ and this one fared even worse, buried underground to serve as a container.

"There’s a chance to revive him..." Gu Shanhai also felt the difficulty of the situation.

First of all, the intertwining of Demonic Qi and this Hero was too deep; Gu Shanhai could even see some of the Demon King’s tissues within the Hero’s flesh, indicating that the Demon King would awaken from within the Hero in three years.

"It mostly depends on him. His consciousness has fallen into a deep coma, meaning he’s become vegetative. If his consciousness can recover, then there shouldn’t be any problems."

"If he can’t recover his consciousness, then it’ll be difficult."

Gu Shanhai was capable of creating an artificial intelligence-like consciousness, but due to his limited ability, it wasn’t going to be significantly different from an ’artificial idiot.’

With that, Gu Shanhai started the repair work.

During the process, he also attempted to extract memories.

He had extracted memories from Chu Zhen and Liu Lai before, but their Hero Panels had safeguards in place, which, if forced by Gu Shanhai, could cause self-destruction and harm them both.

However, this Hero was different; his Hero Panel had been eroded by Demonic Qi for a millennium, with many functions already damaged, unable to effectively protect the Hero.

Had the Hero Panel been intact, the Demon King’s Demonic Qi wouldn’t have been able to cause such significant damage to the Hero.

The extraction process went smoothly, and the Hero’s memories were quickly reviewed by Gu Shanhai.

A young man named Deng Yong, a college graduate looking for a job, led an ordinary life until one day, he was killed by a car while saving a cat.

After reincarnating in Hero Continent, he worked diligently to save the world, similarly to Liu Lai’s journey, except he wasn’t tasked with rescuing the Princess; in this part ofHero Continent, the Princess wasn’t captured by the Demon King.

Only, the result was different; he didn’t slay the Demon King but was instead trapped by a Guardian from the Holy Kingdom thousands of years ago—a Holy Land Mage with a unique sealing ability.

As a result, he became a container, buried beneath the Demon King Castle.

It was because of this that the Hero had survived until now; otherwise, typically even a level 100 Holy Domain’s lifespan would be only 200 years. It was his entanglement with Demonic Qi that allowed him to barely cling to life for a thousand years, but it was more like three hundred years of torture, followed by seven hundred years of self-sealed consciousness to ensure subsequent torture was less painful.

’Another diligent unfortunate,’ Gu Shanhai sighed internally.

Now he could confirm that malicious intent was indeed real, not just an isolated case.

Afterward, Gu Shanhai began to awaken his consciousness, having already temporarily blocked the Demonic Qi’s erosion of the Hero.

’But speaking of which, the main world of Hero World always seems to be a mystery.’ In his previous life, Gu Shanhai had only visited once, experiencing the struggle of Heroes against the Demon King before returning without delving deeper, with only bits and pieces in his memory.

He had never visited the main world, only hearing it was a powerful, modernized urban world, at a glance resembling the technological level of the twenty-first century, but secretly harboring a multitude of strong individuals—like transmigrators, reincarnators, returning Immortal Masters, Urban Soldier Kings cultivating, and so on.

It just seemed that the social mores might not be great, focused on flirting and showing off.

Such people might not have the best minds, but their combat abilities were top-notch.

All these were just hearsay; the specifics were unknown to Gu Shanhai.

After encountering the artificial intelligence Goddess, Gu Shanhai had reason to suspect that these people did exist but were merely a layer of protection left deliberately by some behind-the-scenes organization.

The true strength likely lay at a deeper level.

"Where... where am I?" Deng Yong opened his eyes with confusion, his voice hoarse and strange.

"In Hero Continent," Gu Shanhai explained kindly.

"..."×2

Both Chu Zhen and Liu Lai were speechless. Where else could it be if not in Hero Continent?

"I remember now, I seem to have been sealed together with the Demon King, what happened?" Deng Yong gradually came to.

"Yes, standing before you are the number one Hero and concurrent Demon King from the neighboring Hero Continent as well as the second Hero and Demon King, and now you will be the third Hero and Demon King," Gu Shanhai said somewhat mischievously.
