Versatile Mage: Get the Desert Emperor clone at the start

Chapter 462 Kunlun, being on Blue Star, how could he remain uninvolved?

On the other side, in the Kunlun Demon Kingdom!

This is not simply a den of demons, but more like an ancient fairyland.

Clouds and mist swirl among the rugged peaks year-round, ancient trees take root on cliffs, and flowing streams contain a pure and spiritual essence.

Unlike the malevolent energy and desires of the demon empires outside, Kunlun is permeated with a tranquility, profundity, and transcendence that has been accumulated over countless years.

When Soraka, the Starchild, descended upon the summit of Kunlun Mountain, stepping on the Milky Way like a celestial maiden.

She stood still for a moment.

Immediately, the misty sea of ​​clouds in front of us parted to the sides, and a graceful figure, accompanied by a delicate fragrance, quietly appeared.

The newcomer was a woman of unparalleled beauty, yet her brows carried a serene wisdom born of having seen the vicissitudes of life.

She was dressed in an elegant palace gown, with nine ethereal fox tails swaying gently behind her.

She is the actual ruler of the Kunlun Demon Kingdom, and is known to the outside world as the supreme being of the Kunlun Demon Lord.

The Kunlun Demon Lord looked at Soraka, a faint, wistful smile playing on his lips. His voice was ethereal and clear as a jade chime: "It's been many days. Your ability to draw upon the primal power of the galaxy has become even more refined and vast, and your cultivation is even more advanced than before. I truly admire you."

Then she changed the subject slightly, her tone still calm but with a hint of inquiry: "However, the Goddess of the Stars has suddenly graced my Kunlun with her presence."

"I wonder what important matter brings you this time?"

"Or are you itching to 'learn' a thing or two from the spirits of Kunlun?"

The past she mentioned was when Soraka traveled to this place many years ago and had a sparring session with the Demon Lord of Kunlun.

At that time, Soraka drew upon the power of the Nine Heavens Galaxy to fight against the ancient spiritual veins of the Kunlun Mountains and joined forces with several emperors.

Although neither side gained the upper hand, both were deeply impressed by the difference in their respective levels of power.

Upon hearing this, Soraka smiled.

Instead of answering directly, she asked in return, "Why does the Demon Lord ask a question he already knows the answer to?"

"The world is in upheaval, and the global landscape is changing rapidly. With Kunlun's capabilities, they must already be aware of this. But I wonder... what are the Demon Lord and the Kunlun Demon Kingdom's plans for this?"

The Kunlun Demon Lord's gaze swept over the continuous mountains at his feet, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible detachment.

"Your Shurima Alliance rose to power with thunderous force, and last time you launched a great war on a global scale, causing widespread chaos and making many demonic empires tremble with fear and shake their foundations."

"However, my Kunlun lineage has been isolated from the world since ancient times, and all we seek is the peace of this pure land."

"We have no intention of getting involved in external conflicts or changes of hegemony."

Soraka nodded slightly, seemingly unsurprised by the answer.

The starlight in her eyes shone: "It is precisely because I know that Kunlun has always had a transcendent mind that it did not become an accomplice of other demon empires in the last great war."

"That's why I didn't make a move today, but instead treated you with courtesy, hoping to be frank and open with the Demon Lord."

Her voice gradually gained a deeper, more resolute tone, becoming irresistible: "But the Demon Lord must know that the world's trends are like rivers rushing to the sea, irreversible."

"A new order is being formed, and old barriers are crumbling."

"Since Kunlun is located on this planet, it cannot remain aloof forever. We... need Kunlun to give a clear stance."

"Attitude?" The Kunlun Demon Lord raised an eyebrow, a clear emotional fluctuation appearing on his exquisite face for the first time—a hint of displeasure at having his bottom line crossed. "Soraka, do you mean you insist on forcing Kunlun to bow down and submit to you?"

“It’s not coercion, but going with the flow,” Soraka’s voice remained calm.

The Kunlun Demon Lord remained silent for a moment, the nine-tailed phantom behind her moving without wind, revealing the turmoil in her heart.

Finally, she sighed softly, a sigh that contained too many complex emotions: "My Kunlun has been silent for too long, so long that the outside world has long forgotten what we originally looked like."

"Our lack of competitiveness, seizure, and expansion is not due to inability, but rather to unwillingness."

"What this mountain range has given us is enough. If you want to conquer the world and reshape the world order, that's your path."

"As for us, we only wish to follow the ancient teachings, protect Kunlun, and survive here."

Her words were sincere and frank.

This is indeed a reflection of the Kunlun Demon Kingdom over countless years.

Their strength is unfathomable; if they truly harbored ambitions of domination, the entire Eurasian continent's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall landscape or structure of a continent) would have been rewritten long ago.

Their "inaction" is itself a powerful symbol.

The Kunlun Demon Lord gazed into the distance, his eyes seemingly able to pierce through the sea of ​​clouds and see the entire world. "Oceans, deserts, rainforests, ice fields... there are so many territories waiting for you to control and plan."

"I think it's really unnecessary for you to force your strength and attention onto our Kunlun."

Soraka said, "If all the forces in the world, whether it be the glaciers of the polar regions, the undercurrents of the deep sea, or the dense barriers of the rainforest, have all submitted to our new order, then, Kunlun... how will you stand?"

Upon hearing this, even the Kunlun Demon Lord, with his composed mind, couldn't help but be shaken!
A look of astonishment appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.

It wasn't out of fear, but because of the almost insane arrogance and unquestionable certainty in the other person's words!

She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. "Soraka, I admit that the power of the Shurima Empire is indeed unparalleled, and Azir is even more unfathomable."

"Your successive campaigns have yielded brilliant results, which are evident to all."

"But are you implying that you want all the demon empires on this planet to submit?"

She paused slightly before continuing, "The two polar regions of Antarctica and the Arctic have accumulated the power of ice for countless millennia. The power that lies beneath their ice layers and lies dormant there is unfathomable, far exceeding what is currently being shown."

"I'm not questioning your strength, but to say that you can make them bow down and submit... isn't that a bit too far-fetched?"

Unbeknownst to the Kunlun Demon Lord, at the very moment she was conversing with Soraka atop Kunlun, a cataclysmic event had already occurred in the frigid lands at opposite ends of the planet.

In her deeply ingrained belief, the North and South Poles are the origin of the laws of ice.

To expect to force those ice and snow emperors, who have been sleeping beneath layers of ice since ancient times, to submit to external forces is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Her idea, within the established logical framework, is perfectly correct.

Even with the immense power to move mountains and fill seas, the former Shurima Empire alone would have found it extremely difficult to truly conquer that region, which symbolizes the coldest place in the world.

However, when Aurelion Sol awakens beyond the stars...

What difference is there between the so-called polar barrier and the so-called ice and snow emperor and a grain of dust?
Thus, what was originally "absolutely impossible" became quite simple with the intervention of the Dragon King's will.
