Chapter 2708 - 41: Lord of Hell, King Yama, Assassin’s God!

Chai Asi has been gone for a long time.

In the silent chamber, Yuan Laoxi sat alone once more for a long time. He too had been young once, with many plans for the future, but plans can’t keep up with changes.

He too aged step by step to this point, step by step, surrendering until now, didn’t he?

Until...

"Father!"

His daughter Yuan Xiaoqing’s voice rang out from the outer room.

The bewildered and pained old eyes of Yuan Laoxi instantly erupted with brilliance, and with a speed that defied his physical state, he abruptly dashed out of the room, landing before the paper door, blocking the demon image behind him, his face contorted in rage: "Who allowed you here? I’ve told you countless times! Get upstairs!"

Yuan Xiaoqing was frightened and stunned.

After a moment of daze, she cried and ran up the steps.

She of course knew this was the forbidden place her old father had repeatedly commanded her not to approach, but seeing Chai Asi had been gone for so long, and with no word from her father, she was worried and came down to take a look.

She never expected her old father, who was always reluctant to scold her, would be so furious.

After his daughter left, Yuan Laoxi abruptly turned back, kneeling before the paper door, touching his forehead to the ground, humbly saying: "Great Night God, please forgive this guilty servant... my daughter did not mean to offend, I beg for forgiveness! That young Dog Demon just now is very powerful, this guilty servant has already thought of a way to definitely help you develop him into a God’s Servant."

In the cramped Divine Path Space, where a Red Mirror stationed Jiang Wang was astonished.

He had observed the previous conversation in the silent chamber through the Red Mirror, feeling that Chai Asi progressed rapidly, his acting remarkable. Unexpectedly, this Yuan Laoxi was even more skillful.

Knowing the existence of the demon, he certainly wouldn’t believe Yuan Laoxi like Chai Asi did. Yet he didn’t expect that Yuan Laoxi, who vowed to cooperate, calling one "You’re not an ordinary being,", had from beginning to end only wanted to serve the demon by developing God’s Servants.

This incident made him grow vigilant, reflecting on himself.

Any living being in the world exists independently and should never be underestimated. In the past, Zhuang Chenggan deceived gods and spirits, and Bai Gu Evil God took steps every century, neither ever considering Jiang Wang as an opponent. What was the result?

Today, he, Jiang Wang, hides in the Red Mirror pretending to be an Ancient Demon God, can he truly consider himself all-knowing, controlling everything?

When deceiving a Little Monster, do not also deceive oneself!

Seeing the demon silent for a long time, Yuan Laoxi was visibly panicked: "Is the demon lord hungry? I’ll have them prepare blood food immediately. I’m going now!"

In the strange paper door painting, suddenly a voice echoed: "No need."

This voice was completely the same as before, but gave Yuan Laoxi a feeling entirely unlike the usual brutality, bloody, madness, instead it was profound, lofty, mysterious.

Yuan Laoxi grew more anxious, starting to kowtow repeatedly: "If you don’t want to wait, you can eat the blood of this guilty servant. This guilty servant has been prepared long ago, ready to offer anytime. Please forgive my daughter, she is lazy and greedy, her cultivation insubstantial. Eat me, eat me, great Night God!"

"You are mistaken, Laoxi."

Jiang Wang had absorbed the demon’s Divine Power and also acquired some fragmentary memories of the demon, somewhat understanding the interaction between the demon and Yuan Laoxi.

He sighed at this moment and began weaving a tale: "Actually, I am not the Night God."

Yuan Laoxi certainly knew the demon was not the Night God, a true Night God’s methods could never be so crude and cruel. But he dared not face the demon exposing his true form — it was already this cruel. If the demon no longer pretended, what then?

"You are the Night God, you will always be the Night God in this guilty servant’s heart. The Long Night lies in eternal rest, guilt belongs to all beings. I will always worship you, always be pious!" He was almost weeping bitterly, showing genuine emotion.

Luckily, Jiang Wang, hiding in the darkness, calculated with intention and was able to continue the performance: "Indeed, I have passed a period of confusion and brutality, lacking wisdom. That was because I was injured in a chaotic battle Beyond the Heavens, my essence wounded, my wisdom dormant for a long time. The instinct to restore the Divine Body and the impulse to seek food mixed together, giving birth to the brutal demon Spiritual Sense you experienced... none of those were truly me.

Just now, your genuine affection for your daughter resonated with the good Thoughts scattered through the Long River of Time, connecting through time and space, awakening me, and thus I return.

Laoxi, you are the greatest contributor to my return to the Monster Realm and reign over The Nine Heavens!"

Yuan Laoxi, unlike Chai Asi, was not so easy to deceive, hesitantly said: "You just spoke so much, are you tired? Would you like some blood to drink?"

"You must remember!" The voice of the Deity was filled with majesty: "I have regained Wisdom, exterminated the heart of nightmares, I will never again consume blood food."

Yuan Laoxi bowed once more: "The guilty servant is terrified!"

"No need to call yourself a guilty servant anymore." The Deity’s voice turned merciful again: "Believe in this Deity, spread the true way, what guilt is there?"

As he spoke, a faceless wooden idol leapt from the Divine Path Space, suspended in the air.

This idol was entirely pale, fixed in place, with an eerie power spreading with it, making Yuan Laoxi unconsciously feel cold.

And the Deity’s voice said: "This is the idol of this Deity, acting on earth, kowtowing without guilt!"

Jiang Wang had already pondered over the idea of preaching in the demon clan territory. After encountering this unexpected demon, he seized the opportunity and immediately decided.
