“The sovereign has reached an agreement with the spirit of the demon lord... Although I don’t know the details of the agreement, judging by the sovereign’s attitude, he should be leaning towards the spirit’s side.”
Bai used just one sentence to explain the reason behind the sovereign’s recent disappearance.
“And what I can confirm is that the spirit of the demon lord indeed wants to destroy the Demon Realm. He has already severed the connection between the Demon Palace and the Demon Realm. Within ten years, the Demon Realm will completely collapse and be destroyed...”
This news shocked Tang Haofei. He first felt ecstatic—happy that the demonic clan was about to disintegrate in an instant—then he became panicked—worried about the ‘anchor’ connecting him to the Demon Realm.
Soon, Old Tang thought of more things.
In that moment, Tang Haofei’s expression changed like he was in a dye shop, displaying a myriad of colors.
Bai glanced at Tang Haofei and then spoke again.
“And... the spirit of the demon lord can take the initiative to accelerate this process...”
“How can he accelerate it?”
The huge amount of information left Tang Haofei somewhat dazed. He asked without thinking, and then he heard Wen Yu’s voice.
“He can personally act, causing widespread destruction in the surface Demon Realm. How can he accelerate it? Give me some time, and I could crush the entire Demon Realm to dust. Can the spirit of the demon lord not do that?”
What a simple reasoning...
With the spirit’s power, destroying the surface Demon Realm would be as easy as flipping a hand. In other words, the spirit of the demon lord could completely control the timing of the Demon Realm's destruction—perhaps it could be ten years, but it could also be one day!
That’s right. Perhaps in the next second, the spirit would personally intervene, destroying the surface Demon Realm, sending all ordinary members of the demonic clan who had not entered the Demon Palace to their deaths! On the other hand, he could also take Wen Yu, Tang Haofei, and Bai away in one sweep...
The terrible part was that their lives were no longer in their own hands; instead, they depended on the spirit of the demon lord.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. He twisted his body, looking at Tang Haofei, who appeared deep in thought, and then at Bai, whose face was serious. He decisively stated his choice.
“I will immediately head to the Demon Realm and actively seek promotion.”
This was the benefit of Wen Yu establishing the Eternal Prison Cage—now, the prerequisite for reaching level eleven had already been met, and Wen Yu could be promoted at any time.
Although after upgrading in the Demon Realm, he would no longer be able to return to Earth, which was under a level restraint of nine, well... Wen Yu believed that his life was still quite important.
Thinking of this, Wen Yu added, “I will also take my spirit pets. My spirit pets are currently hybrids of humans and demons.”
This sentence was meant to explain to Tang Haofei...
As expected, when Tang Haofei heard Wen Yu’s decision, his eyes widened as he stared at Wen Yu. After a moment, he dazedly asked, “What about Earth if you all leave?”
Well...
From beginning to end, Old Tang couldn’t keep up with the pace of Wen Yu and Bai.
For this foolish question, Wen Yu chose to ignore it. He looked at Bai until Bai gently nodded.
“I will go with you.”
“And you!”
After saying this, Bai pointed at Tang Haofei. The two secretly discussed something through their mental waves, and Tang Haofei’s expression changed repeatedly. In the end, he reluctantly nodded.
For the three of them, if they didn’t want to die, quickly reaching level eleven might be the only way out.
As for Earth...
“If we don’t die, there will always be a solution.”
This was Bai’s explanation to Tang Haofei—as for what the solution was...
Bai didn’t think of that either...
...
The three of them briefly discussed and confirmed their itinerary.
