However, the situation now was very special. As the Heart of Eternity thumped, a completely new heart gradually grew as Long Haochen comprehended the meaning of life and creation.
Faint light flickered and a gentle smile appeared on Long Haochen’s face. He only felt that his body was very warm, and that the Heart of Eternity seemed to thump with even more power. He had no idea why. The Heart of Eternity was gradually fusing with the new heart and every single vessel absorbed the power of the Heart of Eternity.
The creation of life was the most wondrous process. Although Ye Xiaolei could sense the danger in this, she was unable to communicate with Long Haochen as she fused with her. She could only do everything she could to protect this creation.
The king of Easton stood by their side quietly. He had become Long Haochen’s protector now. At the same time, he could sense the wondrous presence from Long Haochen’s body. He found the dense vitality to be very close.
Gradually, the green light weakened and all gathered in Long Haochen’s chest. Long Haochen felt like new life had just been breathed into him. He found his entire body to be even more transparent and filled with even more vitality.
The green light gently pulsed about his chest. That was his heartbeat. The new heart had completely formed in his chest and it had fused with the Heart of Eternity perfectly. This was definitely the strongest heart in human history.
Ye Xiaolei fell into a slumber in Long Haochen’s chest tiredly. As an intelligent spiritual stove, basically all of the power from the fusion went into the heart.
Gradually rousing from his state of comprehension, Long Haochen instinctively placed his right hand on his chest. His chest felt warm. It was an indescribably nice feeling. The Heart of Eternity’s beating seemed to be weaker than before, but it did not affect his body at all.
At the same time, he could sense Ye Xiaolei’s consciousness remainin in his chest. However, he did not know why she had fallen into a slumber. Perhaps that was the consequences of fusing with him as an intelligent spiritual stove.
However, to Long Haochen’s surprise, he could clearly sense that his fusion with Ye Xiaolei was complete. However, there were no signs that his internal or external spiritual energy had increased like the times before. Everything remained the same.
However, he came to an understanding very soon. Recently, his cultivation had essentially skyrocketed. It was not good for it to increase too much all of a sudden. Fortunately the comprehension earlier allowed his understanding to increase as well. It would not fall too far behind his cultivation.
After giving notice to the king of Easton, Long Haochen chose to return. As the Lord of Eternity, he could enter the Domain of Eternity whenever he wished.
The world of black and red appeared before him once more. Perhaps due to Cai’er’s power of purifying being too great, the air there was clearly fresher than however. However, who knew how long that would last.
Including Haoyue, everyone was waiting on the hill where it had evolved. Long Haochen’s return immediately made them all open their eyes.
With a flash, Long Haochen landed before his companions. He looked at Haoyue first.
Haoyue’s aura had completely stabilised now. The terrifying aura of destruction from earlier was contained, or at least it was impossible to tell from the surface, because the Bright Glimmer of Hope would not be able to remain by his side if it was not.
Its eight heads extended over slowly and stacked upon each other in front of Long Haoche. It seemed rather funny. However, none of the people there could laugh after witnessing Haoyue’s terrifying strength from before. They could still clearly remember how the powerful Knight of Judgement of the Dead and Lich King were unable to fight back at all. They were completely overwhelmed in a single moment. If Long Haochen had not interfered, the two undead kings probably would have died to Haoyue’s attacks already.
Long Haochen raised his hands to touch the two new heads. He said to the dark golden head, “Your abilities should be of the metal element, right? I’ll call you Little Gold in the future then. As for you…” He looked at the huge, purplish blue head and said, “I’ll call you Little Thunder.”
Rrg, rrg! Receiving names from Long Haochen, Little Gold and Little Thunder were very happy. They reached over and nudged Long Haochen. They were extremely close to him.
Sensing Haoyue’s deep attachment to him, Long Haochen’s worry from earlier vanished.
Cai’er said, “Haochen, what happened to Ye Xiaolei?”
Long Haochen frowned, “I might have to face against the Demon God Emperor sooner than I expected.” Immediately, he told them what he saw when he ventured to the Illusory Paradise.
Before Long Haochen had teleported away, he was unaware that the threat to Ye Xiaolei’s life came from the Demon God Emperor. Currently, humanity was nowhere close to being sufficiently prepared and the Demon God Emperor had already seen him with his own eyes. With how determined the Demon God Emperor was to kill him, he would definitely take action.
Sima Xian said viciously, “We’ll do whatever we need to do. If he wants to come, then let him come. If the demons begin the holy war, who knows who’ll be the victor.”
The current Bright Glimmer of Light was no longer the 64th Commander Squad on the battlefield five years ago. They now possessed the true strength to face off against the major forces of the demons. Everyone was ready for that.
Long Haochen nodded slightly, “That’s all we can do. Let’s go back and prepare as quickly as possible.”
After saying that, the first one to respond was actually Haoyue. A layer of purple mist rose up from his body and before Long Haochen could respond, it shrunk at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, it had actually vanished.
“Haoyue?” Long Haochen called out its name in surprise. At this moment, a palm-sized figure suddenly leapt before him, tottering about as it flapped its wings.
Long Haochen had no idea how to respond. The hand-sized thing was actually Haoyue, a shrunken version of Haoyue.
Extending his right hand, Haoyue landed on its centre. Its eight heads constantly moved about and it expressed excitement to Haoyue. Clearly, it was very proud of its ability to shrink. It was like a child who had been given his favourite toys.
Touching him gently, Long Haochen smiled, “This works as well. At least it’ll be much easier for you to stay by my side. After evolving this time, you shouldn’t need to come back to here very often anymore.”
The silver light from the Domain of Instant Flash appeared below the entire squad and with a flash of purplish silver light, they tore through space.
Only after two whole hours since they had left did a few figures slowly appear in the distance, gazing in this direction. The soulfire in their eyes leaped about as they experienced a multitude of emotions.
The return of the Bright Glimmer of Hope immediately brought great joy to Long Xingyu. Of course, he was never that worried in the first place. Having gained the recognition of the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation, it was impossible for Long Haochen’s life to be threatened so easily.
Just when they were about to decide the date of the wedding for Long Haochen and Cai’er, as well as the other couples in the Bright GLimmer of Hope, Long Haochen told Long Xingyu the Demon God Emperor’s likely actions, so they had to push back this joyous matter.
Long Haochen immediately wrote a letter for the Knight Temple to hand to the headquarters of the union. At the same time, he quickly gathered the upper echelon of the Knight Temple to discuss countermeasures. Although it was impossible for the demons to reignite the holy war immediately, they needed to take preventative measures. Long Haochen had even guessed the objective that the Demon God Emperor would restart the war for.
Demon race, Modu, Demon Emperor Palace.
The main hall.
The Demon God Emperor sat high up on the throne and leaned on its huge back. At the top of the throne back was a huge dragon’s head. Two red gemstones shone faintly from where its eyes were.
Ah’Bao who wore the same black, luxurious robes stood beside the Demon God Emperor silently. His gaze was cold, stagnant and hollow, as if his body was not capable of thought.
It was so quiet that even the drop of a pin could be heart. It was so silent that it seemed like there wasn’t even a grain of dust there. However, five demons actually stood below.
The demon at the very front had a head full of long, purple hair. His face was handsome and his pupils were purple. He carried a special presence, which could invoke a sense of beauty among people. He was the Moon Demon God, Agares.
Beside Agares was the Star Demon God, Vassago. Vassago who was normally always extremely calm and wise seemed to be think about something. He clearly seemed uneasy today, as if he could sense something bad.
Three more demon gods stood behind them. They were the Demon God of Death Samigina and the Hell Demon God Marbas of the five great demon gods, as well as the Bear Demon God Valefor who ranked sixth out of the seventy-two Demon God Pillars.
The five demon gods had been summoned there by the Demon God Emperor. They had no idea what had happened.
However, as soon as they had set foot in the Demon God Palace, they felt a pressure they had never experienced before. The terrifying pressure was enough for powerhouses like them to struggle to breath, like something heavy pressed against their chests.
The Demon God Emperor on the throne seemed very calm, but it had already been an hour since they had entered the main hall. The Demon God Emperor had remained like that the entire time. However, the pressure in the air only grew heavier.
The five demon gods had followed the Demon God Emperor for more than three hundred years. They knew that the calmer and quieter the Demon God Emperor seemed, the more his emotions affected him.
The five demon gods were even afraid to look at each other to see what others were thinking. They stood there straight with their heads lowered slightly, waiting quietly.
The Demon God Emperor seemed just as easy going as usual, but if he really did get angry, not a single demon would be able to bear his terrifying wrath. The Demon God of Death Samigina could even remember clearly that around three hundred and sixty years ago, the Demon God Emperor’s anger that time had even changed the Fiend Clan’s entire situation. The original Demon God of Death was directly killed by the Demon God Emperor, which was why he had the chance to inherit this position.
