Life span plundered, I became a detective and achieved immortality

Time flies, and tens of thousands of years pass like sand through fingers. The million-year period set by the Chaos Demon Ape clan has finally come to an end.

The Tianyuan Universe fell into complete despair and silence.

Within the universe, all living beings, including the kings of the universe and the sea, no longer had hope or anger in their eyes. Only a dead ashes remained - that was the nothingness left after even despair was burned out.

The sounds of breathing, heartbeats, and even the movements of the stars seemed to have been drained of their vitality. The entire universe was like an ancient coffin that had been forgotten for billions of years, quietly waiting for the moment of burial.

......

Outside the Tianyuan Universe.

Countless obscure spiritual consciousnesses are hidden in the folds of the void. They are like dormant poisonous snakes, gazing at the universe shrouded in the dark golden barrier with greedy and indifferent eyes in the dark.

The million-year period has arrived, and these kings of the universe and the sea from the major nine-star forces no longer conceal themselves. They begin to collide and intertwine frequently in the void, emitting tiny but clear fluctuations, like the buzzing of mosquitoes before a storm.

"Oh, a million years have passed, and look at the state of the human race. I'm afraid they haven't even found that person." A mocking divine sense came from the Blood Evil Cosmic River. A King of the Seventh Heaven and Sea, wearing blood-red divine armor, spoke with a bloodthirsty restlessness. "I said that kid didn't have the courage to show up. The human race is doomed to be expelled."

"I don't think so." Another calm divine sense retorted. It came from the ancient King of the Universe Sea, descended from the Black Turtle Universe River. Its divine sense was as deep as an ancient well. "That man was able to break through the four realms in a few hundred million years and even destroyed the Yuanxu Divine Palace. His true strength is definitely not inferior to that of a King of the Universe Sea in the middle stage of the Ninth Heaven. Now that hundreds of millions of years have passed, who knows if his cultivation has improved even further? He might even be able to contend with the Chaos Demon Ape clan. The human race is different from other races. They value 'blood ties' the most. Who knows, that man might risk appearing for the human race."

"Bloodline bonds?" Zihuang Zhouhe's consciousness sneered, with a sound as clear as a phoenix cry, but with a biting chill. "It's simply ridiculous. Only these ignorant small tribes would care about such things. Any King of the Zhouhai can easily wipe out an entire tribe. As long as he survives, one person is the tribe. How many of us big tribes care about so-called bloodline bonds? If he were smart, he would stay away and let the human race die in his place."

"Old Turtle, you think too highly of that young human." At this moment, the consciousness of a seventh-level Heaven and Sea King from the Chaos Demon Ape clan forcefully intervened, like a sharp blade unsheathed, its edge exposed. "This time, my ancestor will personally take action. If that human child dares to show himself, there is no way he can escape the clutches of my ancestor."

"What if that kid doesn't show up?" Another divine thought from the Seventh Heaven and Sea King extended out, probing him, "Old ghost Qiong Mo, are you really going to annihilate this human race?"

"Hmph, do you think my clan is one of those untrustworthy villains?" The Chaos Demon Ape Clan's Seventh Heaven Sea King snorted coldly, erupting with a terrifying murderous aura. He said forcefully, "The ancestors have ordered that when the time comes, if no one is found, the entire human territory will be razed to the ground, leaving no blade of grass behind!"

"This Chaos Demon Ape clan is still as cruel and ruthless as ever. There are more than just humans within the human territory."

......

Time passed little by little as the kings of the universe and sea communicated with each other, and in the blink of an eye, it was half a year later.

"Boom..."

A terrifying sound comparable to a cosmic explosion suddenly exploded, instantly resounding throughout the trillion-year void surrounding the Tianyuan Universe.

The sound did not come from the world's shattering, but from the violent shaking of time and space itself, as if a giant beast that created the world was roaring in the void, shaking countless spiritual consciousnesses hidden in the folds violently. In an instant, all the sounds of communication stopped abruptly, and even the King of the Eight Heavens and Seas could not help but restrain his spiritual thoughts, with a solemn expression on his face.

next moment......

The space-time near the Tianyuan Universe was rioting wildly like boiling water. The stable space barrier was torn into countless pieces. The chaotic airflow gushed out like a tsunami, twisting and colliding in the void, and finally condensed into a space-time wormhole with a diameter far exceeding that of a million years ago.

Immediately afterwards, the figure of the Red Demon Lord slowly stepped out of the space-time wormhole. After a million years, his aura seemed to have become even more terrifying than before. The dark golden demonic flames surrounding his body fluctuated, and every breath he took drove the tides of the surrounding cosmic river.

As soon as he appeared, he transformed into a terrifying giant demon that was even larger than the Tianyuan Universe. His head broke through the endless clouds, and his eyes were like two burning dark suns, fixed on the Tianyuan Universe below. The indifference and murderous intent in his eyes were more biting than a million years ago, as if he wanted to freeze the entire universe and the souls of all living beings.

"Tianyuan child," the voice of the Red Demon Lord was like billions of sacred mountains collapsing simultaneously, crushing every inch of the Tianyuan Universe, adding a touch of despair to the already deadly human territory. "The million-year period has passed, and the six-month grace period has also expired. Will you hand over that human child or not?"

His giant hand slowly rose, and a shadow that covered the sky and the sun enveloped the entire Tianyuan Universe. A terrifying destructive force condensed in his palm. The rules of the multiverse he controlled turned into ferocious dragons that flowed in his palm, and the desire for destruction flashed in his dragon eyes. Obviously, as long as he got a negative answer, he would not hesitate to slap it and crush the universe into powder.

......

Inside the Hall of Ancestors.

Tianyuan Patriarch looked more than thirty years older. His once upright figure had become increasingly hunched, and his deep eyes were filled with deathly stillness, without a trace of light.

The last bit of hope in his heart had now been completely shattered - even at this time, that person still hadn't shown up. It was obvious that he had chosen to protect himself and was not going to come out to save them.

This is good... Patriarch Tianyuan smiled bitterly in his heart.

With him around, at least we can leave a bloodline inheritance for our human race, which is better than completely losing hope. If he can survive this crisis, maybe our race can reach the top of the universe and become a nine-star high-level clan, and no longer be bullied.

The next second...

Tianyuan Patriarch moved, floating like a dead leaf above the Human Ancestor Temple. He looked up at the giant demon that looked down upon all living beings like a god, and slowly spoke. His voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible, but with a calmness that was almost martyrdom. Every word was clearly transmitted into the void: "My human race... has no one to befriend!"

"No one to befriend?" The Red Demon Lord seemed to have heard a huge joke and let out a deafening laugh. The laughter exploded in the void, forming a torrent of sound waves that impacted every inch of the Tianyuan Universe. However, there was no warmth in it, only murderous intent that chilled the bones. "Good! Very good! In that case, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!"

As he spoke, his giant hand pressed down slightly, and a pressure ten times more terrifying than that of a million years ago descended instantly. The remaining protective light curtain of the Tianyuan Universe "crackled", and spider-web-like cracks spread at a speed visible to the naked eye. The spiritual light on the light curtain dimmed rapidly, as if it would completely collapse in the next second, exposing everything inside to the destructive force.

"Tianyuan, my dear, I will ask you one last time." The Red Demon Lord's voice suddenly turned icy, as if it came from an eternal prison of ice. Every word seemed to carry the power to freeze the soul. "That person, will you humans hand him over, or not?"
