Chapter 178: Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's Accountability!
The Wisdom Demon Pillar's malleable nature is arguably its greatest strength.
It's a shame that, under the torment of the previous Wisdom Demon God, Gu Xin, it was reduced to its former form, a monstrous state that Lin Ze deeply disliked.
After devouring the Wisdom Demon God's Demon Crown, Lin Ze also absorbed Gu Xin's forging knowledge.
It must be admitted that Gu Xin's obsessive pursuit of forging divine artifacts led him down a wrong path.
While forcing soul refinement into weapons imbued with spirits, these spirits were merely souls devoid of thought, possessing only the power of resentment.
While the weapon's power was significant, its upper limit was also capped.
To forge a divine weapon through soul refinement, one must find someone like Lin Ze, possessing a special bloodline or exceptionally powerful soul. However, across the entire Holy Demon Continent, there are only a handful of divinely favored individuals like Lin Ze and Cai'er.
In thousands of years, Gu Xin had only encountered Lin Ze.
Even if he did encounter one, that divinely favored being possessed a formidable foundation, making his chances of success unclear.
Therefore, forging a divine artifact through soul sacrifice undoubtedly relied more on luck than strength.
Compared to the divinely favored Destined Child, Gu Xin's luck was clearly superior.
However, the forging knowledge Gu Xin brought with him proved immensely helpful to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze even had a daring hypothesis: since his own bloodline could elevate the Pillar of Devotion to a super-artifact, could the Pillar of Wisdom, nurtured by him in the future, also elevate it to a super-artifact?
He could even allow the Pillar of Devotion's spirit to impart the same Taotie abilities!
If so, the Pillar of Devotion's future potential would likely surpass that of the Pillar of Defying Heaven.
…
But just as Lin Ze was pondering, Leng Xiao suddenly spoke, "Lin Ze, this is bad. Vashak said that our father told the three of us to return immediately..."
Leng Xiao said with some concern, "From the Star Demon God's tone, it seems he knows you killed the Wise Demon God..."
Yue Ye, still in shock, also received the Star Demon God Vashak's message.
Seeing Leng Xiao's worried expression, Yue Ye also revealed a reassuring expression and said, "Don't worry, I'm confident. Let's go. Now that things have come to this, it's time to return to Heart City."
Lin Ze was not at all surprised by the summons from the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu.
Half a day later… inside the Demon Emperor's Palace.
The Sun, Moon, and Star Gods were all present. The three supreme demon leaders all wore grave expressions.
Seeing this scene before them, Leng Xiao and Yue Ye couldn't help but feel a little worried.
After a brief silence, the Demon God Emperor's majestic voice slowly echoed.
"Lin Ze, do you know why I asked you to return?"
The atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled as the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu spoke.
In the past, facing the interrogation of the three Demon Gods of Sun, Moon, and Star, Leng Xiao and Yue Ye would probably have been so nervous that their palms would sweat.
However, after spending so much time with Lin Ze, they had seen this kind of nervousness many times.
Now, they were not as nervous as they had imagined.
After a brief silence, Leng Xiao finally stood up and said, "Father, this is not our fault. It's that Gu Xin who has been doing things behind the scenes..."
"Did I ask you to speak?" Before Leng Xiao could finish, the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu interrupted.
Faced with the Demon God Emperor's rebuke, Leng Xiao stuck out her tongue and silently retreated to Lin Ze's side.
Leng Xiao's intention was clear: she was on Lin Ze's side.
Seeing Leng Xiao's actions, even the three Gods of Sun, Moon, and Star were stunned for a moment. When did this girl Leng Xiao dare to be so bold?
What the three Gods of Sun, Moon, and Star didn't know was that this was simply Leng Xiao's nature. In the past, without anyone to support her, Leng Xiao had always been somewhat restrained.
But things were different now. Her husband was Lin Ze, possessing a million spiritual powers. Furthermore, upon returning, she had heard from Lin Ze that he had upgraded the Devil Pillar of Love to the caliber of a super-artifact.
This alone showed Lin Ze's immense contribution to the demon clan.
This meant the demon clan now had another powerful demon, capable of single-handedly destroying human civilization!
Faced with Leng Xiao's mischief, the Demon Emperor couldn't quite bring himself to reprimand her, so he simply ignored her. However, seeing Leng Xiao and Lin Ze so intimate was a strange feeling.
After a moment of silence from Demon Emperor Feng Xiu, Lin Ze spoke directly, "Your Majesty, isn't this the outcome you desired? I will prove to you with my strength that even with the Wise Demon God activating the Demon Pillar, I can still defeat him."
"Also, the Devil Pillar of Love has been fully repaired."
"So, Your Majesty's haste in bringing us back is definitely not to blame."
Lin Ze's words caught the Sun, Moon, and Star Gods off guard.
Originally, Demon Emperor Feng Xiu had intended to use the matter of the Wise Demon God to criticize Lin Ze, but now, Lin Ze had taken the initiative.
Seeing Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's embarrassment, Star Demon God Vashak beside him coughed and said, "Brother, forget it. If you have any questions, just ask directly. There's no outsiders here, so there's no need to resort to such tactical tactics..."
Demon Emperor Feng Xiu: "..."
Star Demon God Vashak's words immediately lightened the tense atmosphere.
Feng Xiu was silent for a moment before speaking directly, "Tell me how you upgraded the Love Demon Pillar to a super-artifact. That Gu Xin guy doesn't have that ability."
As Lin Ze had predicted, Gu Xin's death was within Demon Emperor Feng Xiu's predictions.
He had originally intended for Lin Ze to kill the Wise Demon God and establish his prestige among the demons.
He had recalled Lin Ze and the other two to find out how Lin Ze had advanced the Love Demon Pillar.
As the core three of the seventy-two Demon Pillars, they could naturally sense the changes in the other pillars.
Not to mention upgrading to a super artifact.
Naturally, Lin Ze couldn't reveal the fact that his blood had improved the quality of the Demon Pillar.
But he had to give Demon Emperor Feng Xiu an answer anyway.
After a moment of silence, Lin Ze said perfunctorily, "Your Majesty, I don't know the details. Although I was there, I only provided the Earth Core Flame Vein. Then, when Gu Xin was smelting these materials, he suddenly said something about forging and awakening the spirit. After these materials were fused with the Love Demon Pillar, a thunder tribulation ensued. After surviving the thunder tribulation, the Love Demon Pillar completed its evolution..."
After hearing Lin Ze's words, the Star Demon God was somewhat surprised and said, "Forging and awakening the spirit. I never thought Gu Xin could actually achieve this. It's really surprising..."
