Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

Chapter 56: The difference between monarchical rule and the beginning and end of the mage
Since the fall of the human wizard who was suspected to be the mortal enemy, the era of demonic domination continues.

The ancient Asian continent, where the gods ruled.

The lives of the humans on this continent are like heaven and hell compared to those on another continent ruled by the demon lord.

In the territories of other demon lords, humans are treated like ants crossing the street, being slaughtered and trampled to death by demons. Many humans die tragically at the hands of demons every day and night.

As for the humans in the capital of God, since the capital of God does not want to manage the situation of humans, it will not allow the demons to slaughter humans at will.

Otherwise, if all humans died, what would be the point of him, the Demon Lord of Fire, ruling over the barren ancient Asian continent?

What's more, there is the incarnation of the God of Capital, the silver-white dragon Ling'er. She despises many demons, and the dragon's arrogance makes her treat all normal creatures as ants.

But because its original nature is human.

She often takes care of the situation of humans, as humans are the most numerous in her territory.

And now, in a secret mansion in the Silver Dragon's territory.

This mansion is the residence of human merchants. Even though it is an era dominated by demons, merchants have emerged due to the evolution of the times.

The ancient Asian continent ruled by Shendu was a feudal society. Shendu was the supreme master of the entire continent, and no one dared to resist him.

However, the social eras of the other seven demon monarchs were extremely different.

Atlantis, ruled by Basha, is in a high-tech era with extremely powerful technology. Some of the most advanced technologies can even threaten the great devil. All of this is with the help of Basha.

Zhu Lan's Taiyin territory is deserted, with only Zhu Lan, the demon lord, stationed among the stars all year round. No great demon would choose to join him.

As for the social backgrounds under the rule of other demon monarchs, they lag far behind the first three.

The human society ruled by Xiao Feng and other five demon monarchs is a pure slave society, and almost everyone is a slave of the demons.

Even human wizards and mages don't want to go to the territory ruled by these five demon monarchs.

Basically, most of the humans who have learned magic, whether good or evil, gather in the territories of Shendu and Basha.

In the former case, although the status of humans in ancient Asia was much smaller than that of demons, as long as they did not anger the demons, they could survive in the world.

The latter is high-tech, Atlantis under the endless deep sea and the continent on the ground. Although it is not friendly to humans and is slightly oppressive, humans can still survive.

The territory of the Gods and Basha has become a paradise for most humans.

In addition, the territories of other demon lords are pure hell on earth.

At this time in the ancient Asian continent, in the mansion of a human merchant, dozens of humans wearing Taoist robes gathered here.

Eight of them were chosen by the righteous wizards of humanity to be able to fight against the eight demon lords.

They are all the Eight Immortals of ancient times who became famous in later generations.

Li Tieguai, Han Zhongli, Zhang Guolao, Lü Dongbin, He Xiangu, Lan Caihe, Han Xiangzi, and Cao Guojiu, they are also immortal gods appointed by righteousness.

At the moment, they were sitting in a group, their bodies filled with extremely powerful righteous energy of heaven and earth. Their aura had reached the pinnacle of human mages, the realm of great mages.

Now, they were extremely confused. Lan Caihe looked at their master and asked doubtfully, "Master, why can't the eight of us advance further after reaching the Grand Master realm?!"

The other seven people were questioned together.

Seeing this, an old man who taught them each had the aura of a great wizard, a rare figure among human magicians. However, compared with Lü Dongbin and the other eight, his aura was like a frog in a well, unable to catch the moon.

The old man said in a weak and old voice, "We don't know anything about anything above the Grand Mage!"

"Ever since our ancestors comprehended the encyclopedia of magic created by the Lord of Fire, they developed their own magic from it, and then gradually improved themselves to reach the realm of Grand Mage!"

"After that, that ancestor had no further progress. He lived for hundreds of years before finally dying!"

"Ever since then, humans have been trying to break through to the realm above the Grand Master, but to no avail!"

"In the end, it was confirmed among us human wizards and mages that we humans can only reach the level of Grand Mage and Grand Wizard!"

"There's no possibility of going any further!"

"Countless predecessors were gifted, yet none of them achieved the breakthrough to become a Grand Mage. I cannot answer your questions!"

As he was talking, Tieguai Li asked, "How can we break the era of demonic rule? The great wizard can only fight against the great demons under the demon monarch. How can we..."

"Ahem!" The old man coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "You eight are the chosen ones chosen by the righteousness of heaven and earth. From the moment you were born, there were strange phenomena in heaven and earth!"

"Although countless human wizards have been unable to break through to the level of Grand Mage, you definitely can!"

"You are the key to defeating the eight demon lords. You can't get stuck with the Archmage."

"We old antiques can't help you. If you want to break the bottleneck of the great wizard, you can only rely on yourself."

"The eight demon lords are extremely cruel. You have seen their methods before. Our fellow humans are living in hell and suffering untold torture."

"You can't let down the expectations of so many of us."

When the eight people heard this, they all lowered their eyes. The magic they practiced was at the level of a great wizard.

He has been suspended in the realm of the Grand Master for several years.

The lack of any sign of a way forward made them feel hopeless, yet they had to carry the righteous mission, and the heavy mountain seemed to be pressing on their shoulders.

"If we only become great masters in our lifetime, then..." He Xiangu, the only woman among the eight people, spoke in a dazed tone.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" an old man in a white robe said decisively.

"You are the candidates chosen by the righteousness of heaven and earth, and the eight demon lords are the rulers chosen by the black energy of heaven and earth to rule the world!" An old man in a black robe spoke.

Then, another purple-robed elder spoke up, "The world is full of yin and yang. Dark energy has dominated the world for thousands of years. The demon monarch is extremely cruel, and the righteous energy has entered a stage of counterattack. The eight of us have comprehended the laws of nature in the world. This is destiny!"

"The eight of us are masters of black magic and righteous magic. Four of us are great wizards, and four of us are great sorcerers. With the combined power of yin and yang, we have already comprehended fate!"

"The backlash of the yin and yang balance has already fallen on us, and now you can still see us!"

"In a few years, we will completely disappear from this world!"

"When the time comes, the important task of sealing the Demon Lord will be in your hands!"

The eight people spoke in unison, telling the secrets they had seen.
