Chapter 28: The Request of the Demon God Emperor
The main hall of the Demon God Palace.
The palace of the Demon God Emperor was predominantly black, adorned with crystals that emitted a dim purple light.
The oppressive atmosphere inside far surpassed that of the outside world.
Seventy-two dark-golden dragon pillars lined both sides of the hall, and intricate formations and dragons were carved into the walls.
At the very top of the throne sat Feng Xiu, the Demon God Emperor.
Even without speaking, Feng Xiu's mere presence exerted an invisible pressure, making the entire hall feel like it was condensed with the very laws of heaven and earth.
At that moment, Lin Ze entered the grand hall, accompanied by the Demon God of Love, Sidi.
As soon as Lin Ze stepped into the hall, he felt an overwhelming pressure and a solemn heaviness descend upon him.
The hall was completely silent, with only the sound of Lin Ze's footsteps and the crisp clack of Sidi's high heels echoing softly off the floor.
"Your Majesty, I've brought Lin Ze."
Facing the Demon God Emperor above, Sidi's eyes held a faint gleam of ambition. Perhaps one day, she too could sit upon that throne.
No—this was a seat all demon gods coveted.
But that emotion was hidden deep beneath her calm exterior.
Lin Ze followed Sidi's lead and gave a respectful bow.
"If I remember correctly, he is the human child you brought back from that thunder tribulation seven years ago," said Feng Xiu without delay.
Though he was the Demon God Emperor, he did not follow human formalities.
"Yes." Sidi didn't deny it.
Feng Xiu lightly tapped the armrest of his throne.
Dong—
A beam of purple-gold light shot toward Lin Ze.
Before Lin Ze could even react, the wave of energy struck him.
Instantly, the dark aura that Sidi had used to mask Lin Ze's presence was wiped away!
In that moment, Lin Ze's appearance, aura, and even his bloodline—all clearly radiated the traits of a human.
"Interesting… even I can't fully discern your bloodline."
"This physique has not appeared in the demon clan for thousands of years, but I can be certain—you are not a pure human."
"Since I have already agreed to Sidi's request, I will not go back on my word. There is no need to be so tense."
"I didn't expect that after seven years, the baby in the cradle has grown so much…"
A rare flicker of emotion flashed through Feng Xiu's eyes, and his tone shifted from solemn majesty to quiet melancholy.
As the Demon God of Love, Sidi noticed the subtle change in mood and was quietly surprised.
She and Lin Ze both stood silently, watching him.
Soon, Feng Xiu recovered his composure and turned to Sidi.
"Sidi, I will allow him to be your successor. However, I have one request."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"Lin Ze's bloodline is extremely special. Even a ninth-level powerhouse cannot detect the dark aura within him…"
As he said this, Feng Xiu suddenly activated a dark-purple soundproof barrier.
Sidi raised an eyebrow. What kind of secret was so serious that it warranted this level of privacy?
Before she could dwell on the thought, Feng Xiu continued—his tone carrying an unexpected sadness.
"I once had a relationship with a human woman. For various reasons, we had a daughter who grew up among humans. She eventually became entangled with another human man. If I'm not mistaken, on the very day you brought Lin Ze back to the Palace of Lust, my daughter also gave birth to a child. Now that you say Lin Ze can devour lust, I want you to take him to the human realm. I want him to erase her love for that man and bring her back to the demon clan."
"Her name is Bai Yue."
No matter how well Sidi controlled her expression, she couldn't hide the shock in her eyes at that moment.
Did she just hear right?
The Demon God Emperor… and a human woman?!
What kind of wild, absurd plot twist was this?
Although her mind was full of complaints, she couldn't refuse. After all, this was the Demon God Emperor's will.
Even Lin Ze was stunned.
Weren't the demons supposed to look down on humans?
Why were both the Demon God Emperor's daughter and the Moon Demon God's daughter half-human hybrids?
What was going on here?
"Your Majesty, I originally intended to send Lin Ze to the human world for some time. Comprehending the Law of Lust requires direct experience with the fluctuations of emotions and desires, and no race in the world embodies chaotic desires better than humans. It's immensely beneficial for his cultivation."
"Good. There's a small human town named Odin Town, about a hundred kilometers past the Exorcist Pass. That's where they are."
"I understand."
With Sidi's agreement, Feng Xiu deactivated the soundproof barrier and warned:
"What we just discussed must remain between the three of us. If a fourth person finds out… you know the consequences."
"Sidi understands."
"Lin Ze understands."
"Let's go. I'll take you both to meet the Star Demon God, Vashak."
Just as he finished speaking, space warped, and Feng Xiu vanished from the throne in an instant.
Lin Ze felt as though his entire body was being pulled away by an invisible force. Everything went dark, and the next moment, he was standing in the middle of a celestial realm.
Sidi was beside him.
In the center of a massive star disk, a man stood tall, his body pulsing with astral energy—
—the Star Demon God, Vashak.
Facing his back, Feng Xiu said calmly, "Third Brother, I brought Lin Ze. I'll leave the awakening ceremony to you."
"Big Brother~!"
Hearing the voice, Vashak quickly stopped his deductions and turned around, beaming with excitement.
He rushed to Lin Ze in just two steps.
"Lin Ze—what a fine name." Even Sidi and Feng Xiu could clearly sense the affection in Vashak's expression.
Seeing this reaction, Feng Xiu asked, "Third Brother, did you deduce something?"
"Yes, Big Brother. Didn't I previously predict that the God of Judgment, Austin Griffin, would descend on the Holy Demon Continent within a century, and that the demon race would fall into decline?"
"But now… Lin Ze is the variable."
