"The Demon Realm needs you, my king."

Yue Ru's words, spoken bluntly, left Ye Tianlong somewhat bewildered. He stared blankly at the beautiful woman before him, unsure how to begin.

"Because you are the Dark King, the Demon Realm's only hope."

Yue Ru finished speaking solemnly, and seeing Ye Tianlong's still confused expression, she began to explain carefully.

"Please listen to me slowly tell you the whole story. To be honest, I am not a complete demon. I only have half demon blood, and the other half is divine blood."

At first, Yue Ru revealed her background to Ye Tianlong, which surprised him. But as Yue Ru spoke softly, an ancient secret about the grudges between the gods and demons on the continent was revealed to Ye Tianlong.

"My father is a demon, while my mother is from the Winged Wind Clan, one of the three divine races. Their union is fundamentally incompatible between the gods and demons." "

Ever since the Creator God sealed the demons in the Demon Realm, the conditions there have been extremely harsh, and resources scarce. The demons, finding life unbearable, have constantly longed to cross the seal and return to the prosperous continent."

"Wait a minute! Don't the orcs among the demons live on the continent?"

Ye Tianlong, somewhat puzzled by Yue Ru's explanation, interjected. He was now completely absorbed in Yue Ru's story and hadn't considered that his original purpose was to interrogate her.

"The orcs aren't really demons at all,"

Yue Ru said with a hint of disdain. In some ways, she did indeed possess the arrogance of a demon.

"There are only two kinds of true demons: demons and demonic beasts. Their strength is far beyond what mere beastmen can compare to."

Recalling the demons and demonic beasts he had seen before, Ye Tianlong couldn't help but fall silent. Indeed, as Yue Ru said, if all the people in the demon realm possessed such strength, then there would be very few experts on the entire continent who could rival them.

"When it comes to demons and magical beasts, demons are naturally a cut above the rest. Therefore, after hundreds of years of mutual slaughter, demons still rule the entire demon realm. Although resources have been redistributed, the demons' greatest wish remains to return to the mainland as soon as possible."

"The first group to gather the demon realm's top experts began challenging the barrier seal established by the Creator God. However, all 108 powerful experts, including demons and magical beasts, were powerless against the barrier seal. After three days, only seven severely wounded demons remained; the rest perished in the barrier's backlash." "

However, the demons did not retreat. They continued to challenge the barrier seal. Although countless demon experts fell before the barrier seal over the centuries, the demon race gradually found ways to deal with the backlash of its power."

"Through the tireless efforts of the demon realm's experts, a few demon masters have occasionally managed to break through the barrier seal by chance and return to the Wind and Moon Continent. They have established themselves on this side of the continent while simultaneously trying to break the barrier seal that has imprisoned them for thousands of years."

"At the same time, these actions of the demons have also attracted the close attention of the gods. Following the instructions left by their father god, the Giant Spirit Clan and the Winged Wind Clan have begun to pay special attention to changes in the barrier seal. Once they discover that any demon masters have crossed the barrier seal, they will pursue and kill them with all their might, ensuring that no demon remains on the continent."

"One thing that neither the gods nor the demons anticipated is that after thousands of years, both races have undergone significant changes. The extremely harsh environment of the demon realm has greatly enhanced the demons' strength, while the gods' comfortable life has resulted in minimal progress in their power. The contrast in strength between the two is quite obvious in battle."

"Therefore, after several battles, the gods realized their shortcomings, and they began to train their people diligently. Fortunately, only a few powerful demons were able to cross the barrier, so it didn't bring much disaster to the continent." "

Because the distribution of resources in the demon realm became increasingly unfair, the killings between tribes became more and more frequent. As a result, there was no longer a unified organization to break the barrier seal; people killed each other more for the benefit of their tribes, because the fewer tribes there were, the less resources were consumed."

"Under such circumstances, only the wise men of the demon realm would think that continuing to break the barrier seal and finding a way out to the continent was the real solution. My father was such a demon with exceptional intelligence and martial arts skills. He spent thirty years finding a way to cross the barrier."

"Then why didn't he make this method public so that the demons could directly attack the continent?"

Listening to the beautiful and charming woman's eloquent narration, Ye Tianlong was completely absorbed in Yue Ru's story.

"Because this is just a passage that only allows one person to pass at a time. To be precise, this passage wasn't actually opened by my father, but rather a small loophole left over from thousands of years of the barrier's power. Unless one is a very high-level demon, they would be swallowed up by the barrier's power when crossing this passage."

"My father also went through countless near-death experiences to cross this passage, but on his first day on the continent, he was hunted down by the gods. Because the gods had also noticed the existence of this loophole, they had been sending people to guard that place."

"The person who led the gods' experts at that time was my mother, a first-class expert of the Winged Wind Clan.

After the fierce battle, although my father was seriously injured, he successfully escaped the gods' encirclement."

"Haha, then it goes without saying that your father and mother must have gradually gone from enemies to lovers during the chase, and then became husband and wife."

Ye Tianlong's speculation immediately made Yue Ru shake her head. This stunningly beautiful woman had a strange smile on her pink face, and her captivating eyes shone with a bewitching light.

"Wrong. During the subsequent thousand-mile chase, my mother unfortunately fell into my father's hands and suffered endless torture at his hands."

Looking at the strangely enchanting smile on Yue Ru's beautiful face, Ye Tianlong's heart couldn't help but tremble. The torment a divine woman would suffer at the hands of a demonic man was unimaginable.

"Because they couldn't escape the constant pursuit of the divine experts, my father had no choice but to take my mother back to the Demon Realm. After living there for fifty years, due to a large-scale conflict erupting in the Demon Realm, they crossed the barrier again to escape their enemies' attacks and came to the mainland."

"I was seven years old then. Because of the constant crossings of the barrier, especially in protecting me, my parents' bodies were severely damaged. Not long after returning to the mainland, they both passed away."

As she said this, a look of remembrance and sadness appeared in Yue Ru's beautiful eyes as she thoughtfully gazed at her delicate white hands resting on the table.

"You still haven't told me what these things have to do with you secretly framing me?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that Yue Ru still hadn't spoken, Ye Tianlong couldn't help but feel a little anxious and interrupted her thoughts.

"Oh, it's like this." Yue Ru's eyes brightened, and she raised her head to look at Ye Tianlong, continuing softly, "Before my father died, he told me a prophecy that had been circulating in the Demon Realm for a long time. It is said that this prophecy was spoken by the Creator God to the people of the Demon Race when he set up the barrier seal."

"Oh, what is the prophecy?" Ye Tianlong couldn't help but become very interested in the prophecy.

"When the King of Darkness arrives, it will be the time when the Demon Realm sees the light of day again."

When Yue Ru spoke the prophecy word by word, Ye Tianlong was stunned.

He recalled how he had succumbed to the desire deep within his heart when he was repeatedly ambushed by the temple, especially in the Palace of No Worries. After being trapped in a life-or-death situation, he accepted that dark desire in the boundless darkness, allowing it to truly enter his heart.

"I possess the dual nature of god and demon, so I can most clearly sense that you also possess this dual nature, which is unique among humans. When I first heard Lu Tu Xian's introduction of you, I was somewhat skeptical, but after observing you for some time, I am certain."

"What is your relationship with Lu Tu Xian?" Ye Tianlong sensed something and immediately began to press for details.

"He is a special guest elder of our Wan Yan Society." Yue Ru said very frankly.

"Wan Yan Society?" The man, who had never heard of this name before, was immediately filled with curiosity.

If someone like Yue Ru existed in the Wan Yan Society, this organization should be renowned throughout the continent. How come no one has ever mentioned it?

"This is an organization I've built over many years. The reason it's unknown is because we operate on a low-level business model, with branches all over the continent. However, we don't use a unified name externally. Apart from the truly core members, no one knows about the Wan Yan Society. Moreover, my purpose in establishing the Wan Yan Society is simply to gain a better understanding of the situation across the entire continent,"

Yue Ru explained enthusiastically to Ye Tianlong. Unlike Chen Yue, who followed the upper-level route with a clear banner, the Wan Yan Society developed its influence in the lower classes, establishing brothels and taverns throughout the continent and using them to extend its reach in all directions. Furthermore, Yue Ru divided her members into teams of varying sizes, allowing them to develop freely in different areas. Apart from the team leaders who contacted her directly, the other members had no idea that Yue Ru existed.

"It took me a full 153 years to build such a vast system, and then I toured the continent in the form of a song and dance troupe, searching for the Dark King I envisioned."

Ye Tianlong suddenly realized why Rutu was able to gather intelligence on Esnia so easily; it turned out that Yue Ru had prepared all the personnel beforehand. However, hearing Yue Ru's words also made the curious man think of something else.

"153 years? Can you tell me how old you are now?"

"How can you ask a lady's age?" Yue Ru smiled, not directly answering Ye Tianlong's question: "Women don't ask about age, men don't ask about money. Haven't you heard of this old saying?"

Touching his nose, Ye Tianlong chuckled, not expecting that Yue Ru, a demon, would care about his age. On second thought, gods and demons naturally have long lifespans; how could he judge their age with human standards?

"Our Wanyan Society only has four special-grade guest elders. Apart from Lu Tuxian, they are all from the Demon Clan. We are all united in our goal to find the Dark King who can bring the Demon Realm back to light."

Yue Ru steered the conversation back to the main topic, her expression becoming somewhat serious.

"Because I've confirmed that you are the Dark King, I have no choice but to use all means to help you completely unleash your dark desires as soon as possible."

"What if I'm not the Dark King?" "

Then we can only blame our poor judgment for placing our hopes on the next person."

The implication was clear: if Ye Tianlong didn't go through her plan and died, he would have died in vain, merely a useless pawn. Disregarding human life was very much in line with the Demon Clan's nature.

"Very well, very well." Ye Tianlong smiled coldly; he had accepted Yue Ru's explanation.

However, solving one problem brought more: "Now I have a problem, how exactly do I bring the Demon Realm back to light? Do I just have to go straight to the Demon Realm? But even if I could enter, I still wouldn't know what to do!"

"We believe in the Father God's prophecy. My lord, you will surely know what to do. There is only one thing we need to do now: to wholeheartedly assist you and act according to your will."

Gazing intently at Ye Tianlong, Yue Ru's words, though gentle, were firm and powerful, undoubtedly expressing her loyalty and determination.

However, Yue Ru had another unspoken thought in her heart, a sentence her father had told her on his deathbed—when the Dark King reigns supreme over the continent, completely ruling over the human and divine races, the gates to the Demon Realm will naturally open.

"Good, from now on you will work hard for me." Quite satisfied with Yue Ru's words, Ye Tianlong didn't pursue the matter further, but solemnly said to her.

"Thank you for your tolerance and kindness, my lord."

A pair of bright and beautiful eyes gazed deeply at Ye Tianlong, who returned a sincere smile. Having resolved their trust issues, the two quickly steered the conversation to the problems they faced and their future plans.

Looking at Ye Tianlong, who sat calmly in his chair, Yue Ru smiled and asked, "My lord, have you truly and completely subdued that High Priestess of the Temple of Fast?"

"Of course," Ye Tianlong replied proudly. "Do you still doubt my abilities?"

"That's good," Yue Ru's eyes sparkled with wisdom. "We can then fully utilize the temple's power to change the current situation."

"Nonsense, do you need to tell me that? I've already done so, but progress has been slow,"

Ye Tianlong said dismissively.

“That’s because the two priests of the temple were already prepared. To be precise, it was Archmage Stephen’s plan that was quite meticulous,” Yue Ru said with a smile to Ye Tianlong. “When he decided to attack the Lord, he issued secret orders to the temples in various places to prepare for an uprising.”

“That’s right. So now the temples in various places are very cautious and are facing us with extreme vigilance.” With a wry smile, Ye Tianlong leaned back, facing the ceiling: “It’s a pity I don’t have much time right now. Otherwise, as long as I take Zuo Lanxin to inspect the temples in various places, I can naturally subdue them one by one.”

“That is certainly a good method, but it doesn’t quite fit our current situation. I have a relatively simple and practical method that can make the temples our greatest help in dealing with Yuna.”

“Oh, such a good plan? Then tell me quickly!” Ye Tianlong’s interest was immediately piqued by Yue Ru’s words. His eyes lit up as he stared at the beautiful woman in front of him.

"It's quite simple," Yue Ru smiled faintly and said to Ye Tianlong, "We'll use a substitution method, employing Zuo Lanxin to falsely convey Stephen's secret orders, to build the Temple Legion of the Fast Temple, further pushing the temple forward and placing it before Yunaya and Gilemans."

Her words were a wake-up call for Ye Tianlong. He realized that he had killed all the high-ranking figures of the temple in the Sanssouci Palace, and even the entire central organization of the temple had been wiped out. Coupled with Yunaya's previous large-scale massacre of the Fast Temple, the temple now lacks true leadership, except for its lower-level forces.

If, at this critical moment, a high priestess like Zuo Lanxin were to step forward and call upon the Grand Magister's dying wish to establish a Temple Legion, she would undoubtedly garner support and response from the grassroots temples throughout Fast. In this way, the openly displayed power of the temples would become an enemy that Yunaya and Gilimans could not ignore.

"Then, we just need to push from behind, letting the temples become their own force, fighting to the death with others, and we can naturally profit from the situation."

Once he understood this, Ye Tianlong's mind immediately became active.

Previously, he had been thinking about how to subdue the temples, which would undoubtedly increase the difficulty for himself. Now, his entire approach had changed; simply pushing the temples forward to directly threaten Yunaya and Gilimans was indeed a more advantageous method in the current situation.

“To do better, we should give the temple a real base.” Yue Ru smiled meaningfully at Ye Tianlong and said, “But if we do that, you can’t keep Zuo Lanxin by your side, my lord.”

“No problem, she won’t run off anywhere.” Ye Tianlong waved his hand generously and said, “The location will be in the Black Gate Mountain in the southwest, which is also one of the temple’s most powerful places.”

Saying this, Ye Tianlong stood up, stretched, and said, “Let Zuo Lanxin spread the word first, and in three days, I will let her lead her people to set off.”

After a pause, Ye Tianlong suddenly smiled wickedly and said, “In these three days, I will make her study hard.”

With a knowing smile, a sinister light appeared on Yue Ru’s peerless beauty: “My lord, would you like to go and see that goddess warrior who is still being trained?”

“Sure! I really want to see your skills as a training master!” Ye Tianlong nodded enthusiastically.

"Then let's go!"

Before the two of them could even reach Yue Ru's residence, Empress Qian's maidservant rushed over and told Ye Tianlong that Her Majesty the Empress wanted to invite him over.
