Soman Shuchiin, starting from Fulilian to become a magician

Ye Shanming nodded and thanked him.

"Forget it, just don't involve me if you have any problems."

Zain looked distressed. Ever since he made up his mind to leave the village that day, he had been following the gorilla warrior's footsteps to look for him. The last news he got was that the gorilla warrior was suspected to have come to the imperial capital.

However, there was a traffic restriction order at the border of the Northern Empire, and he could not find a first-level magician to travel with him. In the end, he smuggled across by sea and finally arrived in the imperial capital after going through untold hardships.

I was finally planning to find a place to have a good drink and relax, but ended up running into Ye Shanming's incident.

"Is everything alright? I'll be leaving first."

Zain looked up at him, and when he saw Ye Shanming nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.

Ye Shanming's eyes shone with a deep blue light, and he was about to release mental control magic on the three shadow warriors to forcibly obtain the information he needed.

"Let them go. They don't know much of the information you want."

A voice interrupted Ye Shanming’s next action, and Zain stood at the door, looking at the person who came, with an excited look on his face.

"Gorilla Warrior!"

A tall man appeared silently and stood opposite Zain. He carried a huge two-handed sword on his back and was dressed like a blacksmith. Seeing Zain's excitement, a trace of nostalgia quietly surged onto his face, but he quickly suppressed it and said in a calm tone:

"Long time no see, Goatee Monk, can you let me finish my business here first?"

The scene of the exciting reunion with old friends in his fantasy did not appear. Zain's mind became much clearer. He looked at the gorilla warrior in front of him and silently made way for him.

"Thank you."

The gorilla warrior nodded at him, brushed past him and entered the tavern, looking at Ye Shanming.

Zain was a little dazed. His childhood playmate suddenly seemed so strange that he didn’t recognize him. He didn’t know what kind of mood he was in when he walked out of the tavern, closed the door, and stared at the door in a daze.

"Klaus, you are no match for him. Leave us alone and inform the others to hide!"

The store manager was extremely excited and shouted loudly. Ye Shanming snapped his fingers, and a silent barrier quietly unfolded around him, blocking out his voice.

"Didn't I realize you were the Demon King? When I noticed you yesterday, you didn't even have any demonic aura."

Ye Shanming placed his right hand behind his back, ready to strike at any time. As the Demon King who had ruled the Demon Clan for over a thousand years, even though the demonic power he sensed from him now was not huge, he could not take it lightly.

The gorilla warrior Klaus, or it would be more appropriate to call him the Demon King at this moment, smiled slightly.

"After all, my current state is very special. I'm just borrowing Clay's body. Normally, Clay is the one in charge."

"I just didn't expect you to come so soon. I thought it would take another three months for you to arrive in the imperial capital."

The devil found a chair that was barely intact among the wreckage of tables and chairs on the ground, and sat on it leisurely, as if this was a conversation between friends, without any worry of being attacked.

Ye Shanming raised his eyebrows, and a chain suddenly shot towards him. The devil didn't even blink. The moment the chain touched his body, it disappeared silently, as if it had never appeared.

"In this state, I'm not actually in this timeline, but twenty years later. No matter what kind of attack, it can't touch me."

The Demon King explained kindly that even if he was tempted, he had no intention of taking action. After observing for a while, Ye Shanming nodded to confirm his statement and gave up the idea of ​​subduing him.

"In fact, my wish has always been the same as Shulahart's. I hope to find a way for demons and humans to coexist peacefully."

"So you destroyed two-thirds of humanity?"

Ye Shanming asked back. Although he personally had no deep hatred with the demons, he still scoffed at the words of the Demon King. If Fulilian were here, he would probably have started a war directly.

"Ye Shanming, as a traveler from another world, have you ever thought about why the demons harbor such great malice towards humans?"

"The relationship between demons and humans isn't simply one of eating. The great demon Aura beside you has proven this. But the relationship between demons and humans is one of life and death. Isn't that strange?"

Ye Shanming remained silent. He had noticed this, so he acquiesced to the actions of Shulahat and the Hero of the South.

"It's strange, right? This is the underlying rule of this world. Are you interested in hearing a story?"

The Demon King did not wait for Ye Shanming to answer and continued speaking:

"In the mythological era, the goddess descended to the earth and created the first race, the elves, in her own image."

"Elves possess a near-eternal lifespan, but because of this, their emotions are weak and they have no desire to reproduce. As the world remains static, the elves gradually begin to die out."

"Then, the goddess used the elves' template to create the dwarves. Compared to the elves, the dwarves' lifespan is a fleeting moment, only three hundred years. However, their level of innovation and reproduction far surpasses the elves, and the earth gradually came to life."

"After receiving inspiration from the dwarves, the goddess created humans. Their lifespan was even shorter, only a few hundred years, but their creativity was even more terrifying. In a very short period of time, they established a brilliant civilization that spread across the entire earth."

"But the world has a limit on its capacity, and thus monsters were born."

"Monsters are a self-preservation mechanism created by the world itself to curb the unchecked growth of the human species. In the words of another world, they are a mechanism to suppress primates."

Chapter 43: The Goddess’s Arrangement.

The Demon King's words became more and more profound, making people wonder whether all this knowledge about the goddess and the world was just his nonsense.

"As a suppressive mechanism for primates, monsters have an instinct to evolve in a similar way to humans. Gradually, a group of monsters that could imitate human language began to evolve towards human appearance."

"This is the ancestor of the demon race."

"This is also the reason why the demons are so weak in sociality. After all, they are just a self-preservation mechanism created by the world, not a race at all."

"But the world itself has no intelligence, only instinct. It doesn't know that if the demons continue to develop like this, not only humanity, but even the world itself will be destroyed by the demons."

"The goddess realized this and tried to guide the demons, who had already gained wisdom, back on track. However, at that time, a certain god had already banned the gods from descending to the mortal world, so she could only make some tricks."

"Ten goddess tablets and the holy sword of salvation?"

Ye Shanming has already realized what the arrangement that the Demon King is talking about.

"good."

He nodded and continued, "In addition, the goddess also placed this knowledge on the back of her messenger, the Sky Dragon."

"Later, in ancient times, an unprecedented war finally broke out between the demons and the human race. Almost all of the ancient demons were killed or wounded in this war, and only a few elves remained. That is until a brave man raised the holy sword of salvation and saved everything."

"That you?"

Ye Shanming was a little confused. If the hero had saved the world at that time, the demons should have been guided back to the right track instead of being in the current state of a life-and-death struggle with humans.

"He failed because he lacked divine power and the necessary arrangements. However, thanks to him, the demons since then have begun to develop subtle emotions, including those of my generation."

"So later I took command of the demon tribe and tried to improve the situation by understanding humans."

The devil showed a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth. He didn't need to explain the result. Ye Shanming also knew that the thousand-year-long war destroyed nearly two-thirds of the human race.

"I will not shirk my sins. I will use my death to pave the way for the new demons that will follow, allowing the demons that have already developed emotions to become an independent race."

"If you are willing to trust Shulahart and help the demons, bring Fulilian to the palace tomorrow morning."

After finishing what he wanted to say, the Demon King stood up from his chair and walked out of the tavern:

"By the way, please don't harm those three people. After all, they are my companions in this body."

"I have another question, how did you come back to life?"

"You'll understand when you come over tomorrow."

Controlling the gorilla warrior’s body and walking out of the tavern, Zain raised his head with a bit of confusion in his eyes. The Demon King quietly returned the body to its original owner, allowing the childhood playmates to communicate.

Having obtained too much information, Ye Shanming rubbed his brows. The deepest research on magic itself is an analysis of the rules of the world. At least with the knowledge he currently possesses, he cannot find any mistakes in the words of the Demon King.

"If possible, I really want to go to the back of the Tianmai Dragon and see if it's real or not."

Ye Shanming sighed lightly, but he knew it was a luxury. After being in this world for so long, he had only seen a Tianmai Dragon flying by during his previous journey with Xin Meier. He didn't know how many years would pass before the Tianmai Dragon appeared again.

With that, he left the tavern, glanced at the gorilla warrior, and knew that the devil had continued to lurk in him. After telling Zain his current residence and asking him to come over and play when he was free, he walked towards the manor.

At night, inside the manor, Ye Shanming told Fulilian and Philen all about his conversation with the Demon King during the day. As expected, the two fell into deep thought.

"Flillian, what do you think?"

Ye Shanming looked at Fulilian with a frown on her face. It was really rare to see her looking so distressed.

"To be honest, I don't know."

Fulilian sighed softly, walked to the window, and looked up at the moon in the sky: "Celiai is a survivor from the mythological era, maybe she knows."

Ye Shanming walked to her side, but instead of touching her head as usual, he held her in his arms for the first time and rested his chin on top of her head.

"Will you go to the palace tomorrow?"

"If I don't go, will you go there alone?"

Fulilian raised her head, and Ye Shanming's face was reflected in her green eyes. He nodded silently.

"Then I can only go with you, She. At least I have someone to look after me."

Fulilian showed a helpless look, broke free from his arms, and looked at Feilun seriously:

"Phiren, you'll be leaving town tomorrow. Take care of yourself."

Fulilian didn't say anything extra, and Philen nodded silently. She had never been a child who couldn't distinguish the important from the unimportant.

The night passed quietly and the sun shone on the imperial capital. A small team of guards stood silently at the door of the manor waiting, obviously having received orders from the new king.

Ye Shanming and Fulilian walked out of the gate side by side, and the guards immediately walked in front to lead the way.

At the gate of the palace, the magic spy team had been waiting here for a long time. Cannon, dressed in military uniform and looking heroic, walked forward and saluted the guards.

"Leave the rest to us."

"Yes!"

The guard returned her greeting, and Ye Shanming and Fulilian followed her into the palace.

Inside the palace, court magicians and magic spies stood guard in every corner, and from time to time there were patrolling guard teams. The solemn and murderous atmosphere filled the entire palace.

Kanon did not take them to the main hall, but instead took them to the garden at the back hall, where the gorilla warrior and a young man were sitting and drinking tea.

"Your Majesty, we have been brought here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Cannon. You can go down now."

The young man showed a warm smile on his face. Cannon saluted respectfully and left space for the four people.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Savior, and Great Magician Fulilian. I am the new king of the Northern Empire."

After greeting the two, the young man turned his head to look at the gorilla warrior:

"Mr. Demon King, are we about to start our final plan?"

The Demon King nodded, stood up from the chair, looked at Fulilian, stretched out his right hand and placed it in front of her. Fulilian quietly gripped the magic wand, and while being on high alert, she waited for the Demon King's next words.

"Do you still have the dark dragon horn you found in the Demon King's Castle?"

Fulilian nodded, stretched out her right hand to the sky, and released a magical power. A moment later, a small bird with blue feathers flew from a distance, holding a horn-like object tightly under its feet, and placed it in Fulilian's hand.

"Since I'm here with Fulilian, you should continue what you didn't finish yesterday."

Chapter 44: The battlefield twenty years later.

"Where were we talking about yesterday? Oh, how I was reborn, right?"

The Demon King took the dark dragon horn from Fulilian, and his right hand slashed across the blade of the greatsword behind him. A large amount of blood gushed out. He set up a magic circle in the open space in the center of the garden, and answered Ye Shanming's words without raising his head.

"Volame should have told you something. I talked to her when she came to Ede a thousand years ago."

Ye Shanming and Fulilian looked at each other and thought of Volame's relics and the notebook respectively.

"In fact, there is another space overlapping the space where Ede is, which is outside the timeline. This is why the spell I am setting up now can succeed."

"Sorry, I've gotten off track. That space is what Volame mentioned as the resting place of souls. It was also arranged by the goddess. It can gather the souls of all the deceased and preserve them in the most peak state they were in when they were alive."

"In the words of another world, it can be called the Throne of Heroes System. If there is a crisis of world destruction, the souls within it will once again fight to protect the world."

"It was at that time that I hid my soul in the gap between two dimensions and was resurrected through the ritual of the Last Saint, Todd."

The gorilla warrior's body was quite tough, and the wound stopped bleeding after a while. The devil gritted his teeth, slashed the sword again, and continued to draw the magic circle with blood.

"The Hundred-Year Curse of the Last Saint Todd is actually to seize the vitality of all demons who have fulfilled their duties, that is, killed humans, and transform it into magic power, concentrating it on me. It will eventually materialize the Primate Suppression Agency with me as the core."

"At that time, the holy sword of salvation left by the goddess will meet the conditions."

The Demon King finally finished the arrangement, looked up at Ye Shanming, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and a magic circle drawn with blood appeared in front of everyone. The new king only took a glance and was dazzled and dared not look again.

"And you, simply use the goddess' divine power within you to communicate with the Holy Sword of Savior and kill me. The goddess' subsequent arrangements will automatically take effect. The old demons will die with me, and the new demons will no longer be affected by the primate suppression agency and will become an independent new race."

"Well, it's very simple, right?"

"It sounds simple, but what you drew is a summoning circle, right?"

Ye Shanming looked at this extremely complex magic circle. Although many details did not match, he could still see the most basic core.
