Danzun War God

Chapter 227 The Prophecy of the God of Fire

Upon hearing this, Han Qi was instantly stunned, his mouth agape as if he could fit an egg in it. He slowly said, "You're saying you're the Old Demon King?"

At this moment, the old man smiled and nodded, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Han Qi quickly cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Senior Demon King, I was impetuous just now. Please forgive me."

The old demon king waved his hand, indicating that it was alright. Then, with a flick of his body, he appeared in front of the werewolf, who was dozens of feet away. He placed his hand on the werewolf's wrist to examine him briefly and found that although the werewolf's internal injuries were severe, his life was not in danger. He then extended his fingers and tapped the werewolf's body, using his profound energy to protect the werewolf's heart meridian. He then beckoned towards the depths of the forest, and two more half-beastmen appeared. One of them was a tiger demon, and the other was a leopard demon. They then lifted the werewolf up.

Han Qi hurriedly followed and asked, "Senior Demon King, how is this brother? It's all my fault for being too rash."

The old demon king smiled slightly and said, "Han Qi, don't blame yourself too much. This wolf cub is not as skilled as others, so he can't blame anyone else. It's good for him to suffer some setbacks. This is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and discuss this in detail."

As he spoke, the old demon king stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, leading Han Qi deeper into the woods.

Han Qi followed the old demon king for quite a while before arriving at a house. The house was built of wood, simple yet grand.

At this moment, the werewolf was carried to another room by the tiger demon and the leopard demon, while Han Qi, the old demon king, entered a room. After the two sat down, Han Qi said, "I heard from Yue Ling'er that you, senior, led an army to resist the invasion of foreign tribes hundreds of years ago and never returned. I never expected to meet you here. It is truly an honor for me."

Upon hearing that the other party knew the current Demon King Yue Ling'er, and judging from their way of addressing each other, the old Demon King breathed a sigh of relief, which further confirmed that Han Qi was a friend, not an enemy.

The old demon king pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, we have indeed been here for more than three hundred years. Back then, we chased the Roc to this dark forest and went to great lengths to seal it away. However, the Roc's cultivation was indeed formidable, and the seal was very unstable under its resistance. So we stayed here, and that's how long we've stayed, but we still couldn't stop the Roc from destroying the formation."

"Isn't there another ever-changing demon god? Just who is this ever-changing demon god?"

The old demon king sighed and said, "I've never seen this Hundred-Transformation Demon King either. It's said that he was the king of the outer demon race. Their world was threatened by an even stronger alien race, so the Hundred-Transformation Demon King led a group of people into our Nine Provinces Continent. But he was sealed in a great formation by the Fire God. This Roc was one of the people who came to rescue him later. However, I can clearly feel that the great formation that sealed the demon king is fluctuating."

Han Qi then asked, "Senior, why did the Roc suddenly break the formation?"

At this point, the old demon king looked at Han Qi with a dim gaze and said, "I am also very surprised by this problem. We were evenly matched before and there was no trouble between us. But not long ago, he seemed to have suddenly become much stronger, so he destroyed the formation. At the same time, all of us who were guarding the formation suffered injuries of varying degrees."

Upon hearing this, Han Qi had a sudden inspiration and quickly said, "Could it be that this sealing array is related to the Tree of Life?"

Upon hearing the mention of the Tree of Life, the old demon king's eyes lit up, and he said with slight excitement, "Has the Tree of Life been restored?"

Han Qi nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, you've recovered!"

Upon hearing this, the old demon king's eyes welled up with mist, and he said, "Good! If the Tree of Life can be restored in my lifetime, I can die without regrets."

After a slight pause, he said with a solemn expression, "So you're Skywalker?"

Han Qi nodded slightly, which was taken as tacit agreement.

Upon hearing this, the old demon king's face lit up with joy, and he said, "That's wonderful! Legend has it that the God of Fire once prophesied your appearance. You are the savior of our Nine Provinces Continent, and the one who will ultimately turn the tide."

Upon hearing this, Han Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly. A savior? With his current abilities, he couldn't even defeat the Roc. It would be a pipe dream to deal with the ever-changing demon god in the future. He then said, "My current abilities are no match for the Roc. It's probably too early to talk about being a savior."

But the old demon king still said dismissively, "The God of Fire also said that the Nine Provinces Continent will face a life-or-death calamity, and the success or failure will also depend on you."

"The God of Fire must be a very powerful being. I wonder where he is now?" Han Qi had been hearing about the God of Fire for the past few days, and couldn't help but wonder about his whereabouts.

"According to my former Demon King, the God of Fire fought the Hundred Transformations Demon God for half a month. In the end, he successfully sealed the Hundred Transformations Demon God into the formation using the Heavenly Chess Formation. However, the God of Fire also suffered a fatal blow from the Hundred Transformations Demon God, resulting in the loss of both his body and soul," the old Demon King said with a hint of sadness.

"The Heavenly Chess Formation? Is this the formation that seals the ever-changing gods and demons?" The more Han Qi asked, the more questions he had.

The old demon king shook his head and said, "No! This Heavenly Chess Formation is mainly a borrowing formation that utilizes the power of the stars, not a sealing formation. It's a pity that the God of Fire did not pass on the Heavenly Chess Formation to anyone else, and it was lost with his departure. However, some of the sealing formation has been passed down, such as the formation that sealed the Roc. However, its power is much weaker than the formation set up by the God of Fire."

After saying that, the old demon king seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly said, "I vaguely remember that this sealing formation is indeed related to the Tree of Life, but I don't know what that relationship is."

Han Qi nodded as if he understood and said, "That's right. When I was restoring the Tree of Life, I found that the Tree of Life's vitality was sealed, which led to its demise. This seal should have been done by the Skywalker at the time. It seems that it was precisely for the sealing power of this sealing array that the Tree of Life was destroyed, while at the same time leaving behind the seeds of the Tree of Life."

"As far as I know, Vulcan is also a Skywalker!" the old demon king said firmly.

Only then did Han Qi understand the matter of the Tree of Life. However, the problem she would face next was that the sealing formation would definitely be destroyed because of the Tree of Life's restoration, just like the formation that sealed the Roc. If things continued like this, the Hundred Transformations Demon would surely emerge one day. What she needed to do now was to figure out a way to deal with it before it came out.

So Han Qi solemnly asked the old demon king, "Does the senior have any countermeasures?"
