In the void, there is no passage of time.
Zhu Ziyang and Electrolux, after traversing countless spaces and passing through numerous star fields and abysses, finally found the star field where Electrolux's perception was the strongest.
The master and disciple stood outside that star field, somewhat bewildered as they gazed upon it.
They saw a golden-red star field, which meant that there were many stars within this star field, and the elemental laws were bound to be extremely abundant, at least ten to twenty per cent stronger than the Douluo star field. However, what deeply worried Zhu Ziyang and the other was that beside this star field, there existed an abyss of equal magnitude, already intertwined with the star field. This meant that some planets within this star field might currently be in a state of war with the abyss.
The master and disciple exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, took a step forward, entering this star field that could be called Electrolux's homeland.
The moment they entered the star field, a long-lost sense of comfort swept over Zhu Ziyang's entire body, making him involuntarily let out a sound of relief. At the same time, a prompt—or rather, a warning more fittingly—from the laws of this star field echoed in his mind.
"God from a foreign star field, you have entered the Holy Demon Star Field. The star field is always watching you!"
Facing the warning from the Holy Demon Star Field, Zhu Ziyang paid it no mind. He was, after all, a legitimate star field god and naturally wouldn't do anything that could provoke sanctions from the star field laws, such as destroying a planet or detonating a star.
"Teacher..." Zhu Ziyang turned to Electrolux, only to find him with his eyes tightly closed, his face twisted in pain and struggle, surrounded by dense soul power, his very soul trembling. Seeing this, Zhu Ziyang's face couldn't help but show worry. He recalled when he first met Electrolux, who was merely a soul fragment. Although Zhu Ziyang had later successfully revived him, the former soul fragment was ultimately incomplete.
Now that he had returned to his own star field, the previously shattered and scattered soul fragments would naturally seek him out—this soul with god-king strength that had reversed and become the main soul. It was foreseeable that Electrolux was currently accepting his past, his history, and his memories.
Zhu Ziyang could only wait. Such a thing required time—perhaps a day or two, maybe a year or two; he couldn't be sure. Fortunately, he released the soul spirits Jiang Nannan, Ma Xiaotao, Zhang Lexuan, Qian Lingyi, Wu Huan'er, and Snow Empress from the demi-plane, so everyone could wait together and not feel lonely.
"Wow! Is this the star field where Old Yi is from? The energy concentration feels a bit stronger than in our star field!" Jiang Nannan exclaimed in surprise.
"Indeed!" The others agreed with this statement.
Electrolux did not make Zhu Ziyang and the others wait too long. Just one day later, his aura stabilised.
"Teacher, how are you?" Zhu Ziyang asked.
"Hmm! Hoo!" Electrolux took a deep breath, then said with a complex expression, "Let's talk as we go. I now know which planet my homeland is on."
Thus, under Electrolux's lead, the group set off again.
"...You're saying that on the Holy Demon Continent, you still have two disciples? Doesn't that mean I have two junior brothers or sisters?" Zhu Ziyang said in surprise.
"No, to be precise, it should be senior brother and senior sister." Electrolux said helplessly, "It was after I handed the Eternal Heart to Long Haochen that I burned my soul, causing the soul fragments to traverse countless star fields and arrive at the Douluo Continent, where I finally met you."
"Uh hehe..." Hearing this, Zhu Ziyang could only scratch his head and smile awkwardly. "Then, Teacher, what do you plan to do? Are you going to see them?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Electrolux said firmly. "Although I'm not sure of their current strength, I think, since they are people I chose, they might be struggling with how to break through the god-level restrictions right now. Alas, in this star field of mine, the restrictions on god-level beings are ultimately too harsh."
"Great, I also want to see what kind of elegance the couple that made the great Necromancer Holy Mage willing to give up his life possesses." Zhu Ziyang smiled and teased.
"Stinky kid, I shouldn't have told you everything; now you're starting to expose your teacher's secrets." Electrolux laughed and scolded. "Alright, let's go. Go meet your Senior Brother Long Haochen and Senior Sister Sheng Cai'er. I hope they're still alive!"
—
Holy Demon Continent, Imperial Dragon Pass.
When Zhu Ziyang and his group arrived, they happened upon a dramatic ethical play. Their hearts for eating melons and souls for gossip were burning, so they did not reveal themselves immediately but stood in the sky, quietly enjoying the show.
"No, you can't kill him!"
An extremely beautiful human woman jumped down from the city pass, letting out a desperate cry.
Bai Yue, Chairman of the Temple Federation, mother of the human leader Long Haochen, possessor of the Throne of Doom and Slaughter, and wife of the Knight of Judgment and Trial, Long Xingyu, was actually jumping to her death for the great enemy of humanity—the leader of the demon race, Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu.
Long Xingyu appeared in time and saved Bai Yue, but his face was extremely ugly at this moment. Without hesitation, he slapped Bai Yue.
"Long Xingyu, what right do you have to hit her?"
These words were spoken by Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu. His handsome face was filled with coldness and killing intent, his eyes flickering as he stared fixedly at Long Xingyu.
"Ah this!" Up in the sky, Zhu Ziyang and the others were enjoying the melons immensely. Qian Lingyi said, "Why do I feel like this Demon God Emperor is the one who forms a family with Bai Yue and Long Haochen?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid that's what Long Xingyu is thinking too?" Ma Xiaotao sneered and said, "I'm afraid in his heart, Long Haochen is the son of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu and Bai Yue, and he is just a man who was cuckolded. That's why he so desperately wants Long Haochen to kill the Demon God Emperor, to complete the revenge plan in his heart of a son killing his father!"
"Ew! What a dark thought. Is this Long Xingyu really a knight?" Wu Huan'er exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.
"Don't rush; just keep watching." Zhu Ziyang's gaze shifted among the four—Demon God Emperor, Bai Yue, Long Xingyu, and Long Haochen—and he immediately understood their relationships. Thus, he said mysteriously.
The following story was straightforward. Bai Yue revealed her identity: she was actually the child of Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu and a human woman, so she was in fact Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu's daughter. Naturally, the matter of Long Haochen possessing demon race traits, which Long Xingyu suspected, became clear.
Long Haochen did indeed possess the bloodline of the Demon God Emperor, but it was not father and son—it was grandfather and grandson.
Now Long Xingyu was dumbfounded. It turned out that his thoughts over the past twenty-plus years had all been self-inflicted cuckolding; everything had been his one-sided wishful thinking.
This ethical drama ultimately ended with Bai Yue pulling out the suicide note left by her mother. The family hugged and cried on the battlefield of the final decisive battle between humans and demons, truly opening the eyes of the warriors from both the human and demon races. Everyone stood in place, unsure what to do next—fight or make peace?
Fight? Didn't they see the human leader and the demon leader hugging and crying? Make peace? Then what about the blood feuds of so many years? What about the fallen martyrs of the human race? What about the fallen warriors of the demon race?
Both fighting and peace were difficult choices. So, at times like this, it was time for an even stronger enemy to appear. Only in the face of an even stronger enemy could the human and demon races set aside their prejudices and hatreds, uniting against the external threat.
Thus, Moon Demon God Agares spoke.
"Now is not the time for crying. Long Haochen, you must make a decision now. Do you know why I suddenly went back on my word and joined forces with His Majesty and Vassago to deal with you?"
Long Haochen shook his head, indicating he did not know.
Moon Demon God said with eyes full of fear, "Because Austin Griffin is not dead. As long as he is not dead, he is our common enemy. The reason I cooperate with you is in hopes that my people can assimilate into humans in the future, rather than be destroyed. But as long as Austin Griffin does not die, not only will my people be unable to survive, but no living being in this world will be able to continue existing! Long Haochen, you are now the leader of humanity; you must make a decision, or it will be too late. Everything will be destroyed. Do you understand?"
"Who is Austin Griffin? To make this Moon Demon God with secondary god strength feel fear?" Jiang Nannan in the sky voiced her doubt, but Zhu Ziyang did not know either, so he could not answer.
"The God of Heavenly Punishment, a nine-headed chimera, said in legend to be the companion of this world's creation god." At this time, Electrolux spoke. He said, "When I was young, I saw it in an ancient book, but there was only this one sentence, so I didn't pay much attention. I thought it was just a legend, but unexpectedly, it's actually real!"
"The companion of the creation god?!" Zhu Ziyang was very surprised and said, "Wouldn't that mean strength above god-king?"
His face immediately became solemn, and he vigilantly scanned the battlefield below, trying to locate Austin Griffin. Finally, his gaze locked onto the eight-headed purple-gold Hao Yue sword at Long Haochen's side. He said in a grave voice, "Is it that? But the strength doesn't seem like it?"
"Not necessarily." Electrolux shook his head and said, "I understand this world. If it truly had strength above the god king, it would have long ago opened up a divine realm. Why would it need to scatter its physical body and reincarnate its soul?"
"Mm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded in agreement upon hearing this, but his heart remained filled with vigilance.
And just at this moment, a new change finally occurred on the battlefield below!
