Chapter 994 The Demon Suppression Emperor
994 The Demon Suppression Emperor
Demon Supremacy World, now called Human Faith World:
The Steward stood in a magnificent purple-gold castle that shone with immortal lights and Dao Rhymes. However, despite his surroundings, his gaze was not on this world but on a battle outside of this plane.
"This fight is about to stop," he commented.
"Your excellency, do you know who won?" asked Daoist Green Heart, who looked younger and happier than ever.
"Your Demon Suppression Emperor is much weaker than the opponent. However, he is battle-tested, and his sword has a natural suppression against the enemy, so he should be able to force her back."
"That's good," he sighed in relief. "Now that the situation is settled, could you tell us why Lord Chu Mo, I mean, Lord Wang Wei sent you to contact us?"
Daoist Green Heart remembered the young man who changed the destiny of this world. With his meticulous planning and brilliant mind, he destroyed an entire civilization in a matter of a few months. The man paved the way for humans to rise in this world and become the protagonist.
"Once the Emperor returns, you'll know my purpose," replied the Steward. He could tell Daoist Green Heart's political power in this world was because he was the master of the Demon Suppression Emperor, not because of his strength or talent.
As such, he would be respectful to the latter but would not discuss important matters with the latter.
"That's fine," replied Daoist Green Heart with a wry smile. More than an hour later, the clash outside the world stopped, and the Steward received news that the Emperor would see him tomorrow. He nodded and waited.
Human Emperor Palace, back garden:
A woman wearing black armor with two sides on her side appeared. She had short hair, a scar above her left eye, and a serious expression. As soon as she appeared, the armor on her disappeared, and she immediately began to close the bleeding wounds.
"I knew you would be here," suddenly said a melodious voice. The Demon Suppression Emperor smiled wryly before turning her head.
"I just don't want you to see me in this state," he said, looking at the beautiful woman dressed in a flowering blue hanfu, displaying a youthful spirit that was truly mesmerizing.
The Demon Suppression Emperor's heart immediately skipped a beat as she saw those big, lively eyes looking directly at her. Although no words were said, they convey a million emotions.
"Alright, I apologize. I promise I won't hide anything from you anymore." She approached her other half and embraced her. In that short conversation, the Demon Suppression Emperor had healed all her injuries; she looked like she did.
"You keep saying that, but never keep your words."
"With our new visitors, our situation should change for the better," explained the Demon Suppression Emperor. "So, I won't probably won't have to fight with my life on the line constantly."
"That's good," replied Hua Xue, and the Demon Suppression Emperor smiled. She held her in his hand before giving her a passionate kiss.
"Don't. We are in the garden, and someone might see us," said Hua Xue in a meek voice. nOve.lb(1n
"So, what?" declared the Demon Suppression Emperor in a dominating voice. "You're my Empress, so it's my privacy what I do with you."
"Okay, stop playing around," said Hua Xue with a red face. "We have people waiting; you should prepare."
"You're right," said the Demon Suppression Emperor as she watched the angelic woman walk away, her eyes full of longing. She exhaled deeply before walking toward the throne.
As the Human Emperor of this world, she holds the burden of protecting the human race, so she has a lot of work to do. Soon, she arrived at her throne with countless ministers waiting for her.
She ignored the countless chants of praise and walked directly onto the throne.
"Your majesty, how is the situation?"
"I have repelled the Blue Phoenix Empress, but that's only temporary," grunted the Demon Suppression Emperor. She thought after surviving thousands of assassinations, fighting in the final battle, and being lucky enough to become an Eternal, the human race's plight was over.
But she was wrong. The cleaning up of the Demon Supremacy World was easy at first. Their civilization was destroyed, and despite its resurgence after recondensing their race's Qi Luck, they were nothing compared to the past.
Furthermore, she was an Eternal Emperor.
Unfortunately, when she began the process of cleaning up the Lower Realm, a foreign Eternal Emperor from the demon race attacked her. She knew something: people contacted foreigners out of desperation.
After coming into contact with the Endless Void, the Demon Suppression Emperor truly realized the plight of their world. Such a weak Heaven Will World was a feast for any Heaven Will World, especially during this time of the year when all Great Emperors were still in the lower dimension.
Luckily, the foreign Demon Emperor desired the world for herself. Otherwise, countless foreign planes would invade, kill the natives, and enslave them to mine resources. These people would tear apart Heavenly Dao to absorb the World's Source and increase their strength.
"As you know, our situation is dire. Once the news is leaked, our world might turn into a situation even worse than before," announced the Demon Suppression Emperor, increasing the tension in the world.
All the people in the room survived from that time of turmoil and knew how terrible the status of the human race was before the rise of the Human Emperor.
"So, what is our next step?"
"The arrival of these foreigners may be our only hope," said the Demon Suppression Emperor.
"But how do we know they won't treat us the same way as the other planes?" asked a minister.
"Lord Chu Mo, I mean, Lord Wang Wei, was recognized by us as one of the human race's heroes and founders. There is no need to doubt his motive."
"That is a childish thing to say. Who knows if he has changed since then? You see, he did not even give us his real name."
"Are you questioning our heroes? The one who brought hope and salvation to this world? Your words are too much."
"I'm just saying to be cautious. Plus, you're the one who stepped out of line. He might have given us hope, but the Human Emperor truly brought salvation to our people."
"You know I didn't mean it like that."
"How do I know what you mean?"
"Enough," said the Demon Suppression Emperor before looking at his Chancellor; this man was known for his wisdom, so he might be able to bring some perspective to the situation.
"Chancellor, what do you think?"
"So far, it's seemed promising to be associated with the foreigners," replied Chancellor Ke.
"Oh, why do you say that?"
"The ambassador should understand the plight and value of our world. Even better, based on the information we know about Lord Wang Wei, he's a man of unparalleled wisdom. So, he should be able to deduce the current state of our world.
"Yet, despite this, no one came to attack or invade us. Instead, he sent an ambassador to contact us.
This peaceful approach is at least a sign of respect and no hostility."
"You have a point," nodded the Demon Suppression Emperor, and the room became quiet for a few minutes as she pondered. Finally, she looked at the Daoist Green Heart:
"Teacher, you've met with the ambassador. Did you find any information for their visit?"
"He has hinted to me that he's here for an alliance. However, he also hinted that things were not simple, but he refused to reveal any more information."
"Something more? Could something have happened to Lord Wang Wei and his world, and he needs our help instead?"
"Unlikely.' Daoist Green Heart shook his head.
"From the way he spoke to Lord Wang Wei, I can sense great awe and reverence. With the ambassador's strength, it's easy to deduce the latter's accomplishments."
"That's good," replied the Demon Suppression Emperor, feeling reassured. Their world was already in trouble, so they had no way to help others. Of course, she owed Lord Wang Wei a great deal of karma, so she would help if the situation were really necessary.
"If we become allies with another world, what is essential to us that we must ensure no matter what?" The Demon Suppression Emperor looked at the chancellor.
"Our sovereignty," replied the latter without hesitation. "No matter what, we cannot allow foreign worlds to have any political andmilitaristic power in our world.
"We can trade rare resources, fight together, and even sacrifice some of our interests, but we will not give up our sovereignty."
"Well said," praised the Demon Suppression Emperor. The human race has suffered for too long without any power or authority, so they will not give up on these things no matter what.
"Let's discuss how to treat our guests for tomorrow."
The court meeting continued.
Inside a room in the palace:
"Interesting," said the Steward, with a screen before him showing everything that was going on in the meeting. Based on this meeting, he already knew how to properly negotiate tomorrow and get the most benefit for his plane.
