Chapter 786: Chapter 786: The Mystery of the Demon God

"Hmm, if there are forces targeting King Yan Palace, you help resolve the situation, and if you lack the strength to do so, you can inform me at any time,"

Donghuang Taiyi nodded, leaving the Demon Kings puzzled. Wasn’t King Yan Palace just a newly emerging force that borrowed the fame of the God’s Tomb?

Was it worth such attention from His Majesty, the Demon Emperor?

Donghuang Taiyi said no more. Just then, a little demon rushed in, flustered.

He knelt in the center of the hall and exclaimed in a panic, "Your Majesty, the Demon Emperor...it’s dreadful...the Nether Emperor has arrived!"

The Nether Emperor!

At the mention of this name, the complexions of all the Demon Kings in the hall changed.

Donghuang Taiyi narrowed his eyes and commanded, "Let him in."

He didn’t query why the Nether Emperor had come, as the little demon surely wouldn’t know.

If the Nether Emperor dared to play tricks, Donghuang Taiyi would have him carried out!

"Yes..."

The little demon hastily scrambled up, about to turn around and leave.

"No need, I came uninvited, and I hope the Demon Emperor will not take offense!"

The Nether Emperor’s laughter filtered in as he rushed into the hall like a specter, accompanied by a trail of afterimages that dazzled the Demon Kings.

Donghuang Taiyi’s expression remained unchanged as he looked over the Nether Emperor with a sardonic gaze and inquired, "What brings the famed Nether Emperor to my presence? Surely it must be a matter of great importance?"

Clothed in black, the Nether Emperor radiated a powerful imperial might that discouraged others from meeting his gaze.

He chuckled and said, "Indeed, a great matter – one that will allow you to challenge for the title of Supreme in the world!"

At these words, all the Demon Kings were stirred, and even Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes betrayed a hint of curiosity.

...

Night fell.

Qin Jun did not return to his sleeping quarters but stayed in the Imperial Garden to regulate the surging magic power within his body.

The entire Holy City was still rejoicing, with the citizens celebrating the triumphant start of Great Qin’s heavenly court, and the generals making merry with wine. Everything depicted a scene of joyous prosperity.

"System, continue to summon the God and Demon army," Qin Jun instructed in his mind, planning not to hold back on the opportunity.

Now, his need for the God and Demon army wasn’t as great, especially since Great Qin’s heavenly court was vast and rich, making it easy to raise an army.

"Ding! Commencing random summoning of the God and Demon army!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for summoning a hundred thousand Netherworld Soldiers!"

Two system notification sounds rang out consecutively, with no dragging as during the summoning of gods and demons. The process was clean and swift, so fast that Qin Jun almost didn’t recover in time.

A hundred thousand Netherworld Soldiers?

Qin Jun slightly arched his brows. He had a Netherworld Soldier token, but the ten thousand Netherworld Soldiers within it couldn’t keep up with him and had been given to Zhong Kui to use.

He then checked the cultivation level of these hundred thousand Netherworld Soldiers and was pleasantly surprised to find they were all above the Earth Immortal Realm.

A hundred thousand Earth Immortal Realm Netherworld Soldiers were definitely strong, for ghosts had innate advantages over the living in combat.

Following that, he continued to circulate his powers while using his random lottery opportunities. Currently possessing seven such chances, it was wasteful not to use them.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing a hair of the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey Wuzhiqi!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing the hand bone of the White Bone Spirit!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing five thousand fourth-tier spirit stones!"

...

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for drawing the Thousand Needle Sword!"

The seven chances for random draws were quickly used up, leaving Qin Jun quite frustrated. Half of the items drawn were useless, and although the rest had value, he was unimpressed.

It couldn’t be helped; he was the master of the Great Qin Celestial Court, and he lacked for nothing, be it spirit stones, elixirs, heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or magical artifacts. Of course, he would have been excited for a rare treasure or a Tongtian magical artifact, but unfortunately, there were none.

Carrying a gloomy mood, Qin Jun continued his cultivation.

An unknown amount of time passed.

"Huff... That Patriarch Bodhi is quite powerful; he almost caught a glimpse of my existence."

The voice of Ji Yongsheng suddenly rang in Qin Jun’s mind, causing him to involuntarily open his eyes.

Patriarch Bodhi could threaten Ji Yongsheng?

"His cultivation is unfathomably deep and his Divine Powers vast. I had no choice but to sever contact with you temporarily until now when I dare to awaken," Ji Yongsheng said helplessly.

You’re that timid?

Qin Jun felt somewhat disappointed in Ji Yongsheng. Although Patriarch Bodhi was powerful, Ji Yongsheng was revered by him as a master. Wasn’t this display of behavior now weaker than Patriarch Bodhi’s?

"Don’t blame me for being timid. The secret between us must absolutely not be known by a third person!" Ji Yongsheng said indignantly, his anger tinged with embarrassment. Had he, Ji Yongsheng, ever feared anyone?

He had feared no one in the past, and it was the same now!

Qin Jun smirked. Keep bragging!

"Then you should tell me about our relationship, right? And the origins of the Extreme Flame Demon God!"

Qin Jun said resentfully in his heart. Ji Yongsheng had always concealed the origin of the Extreme Flame Demon God, making him always wary.

Ji Yongsheng fell silent.

After a long time.

Just when Qin Jun thought he wouldn’t speak, Ji Yongsheng finally began to talk slowly: "Alright, there’s no harm in telling you now. You are now powerful enough to gallop across the heavens and earth, truly fearless."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun immediately became excited and urged in his mind: "Speak quickly!"

The moonlight was hazy; the myriad stars hung high in the sky. Qin Jun sat alone in a stone pavilion, bathed in moonlight, his shadow casting long on the floor.

"In fact, the Extreme Flame Demon God did not originate from this world; we come from beyond the heavens. Our chances of reproducing are very low; you might have to try ten thousand times before succeeding just once, but the talent of the progeny is incredibly strong, enough to cause both gods and immortals to fear and panic," Ji Yongsheng said somberly.

Qin Jun suddenly understood; no wonder Daji and the others hadn’t become pregnant after such a long time.

The problem lay in the bloodline of the Extreme Flame Demon God.

"Before the Human Clan in this world had even emerged, the Extreme Flame Demon God already existed. It is said that before the Heavenly Dao was established, when the three thousand worlds had not yet been born and everything was void, the Extreme Flame Demon God was already born."

"After countless eons, having withstood numerous Great Tribulations, the Extreme Flame Demon God has survived. To my generation, I am the last remaining Extreme Flame Demon God."

"The reason only I remain is that my clan was ambushed and faced annihilation beyond the heavens. At that time, I was still in swaddling clothes, unclear about who our enemies were."

"Later, I descended upon this world and was adopted by the founder of the Holy City, White Emperor, and gradually grew into the battle god of the Holy City."

"In fact, the destruction of the Holy City was not only because it was too powerful, powerful enough to make the gods and immortals wary, but also because of me. The gods and immortals, fearful of the Extreme Flame Demon God, raised their armies to attack, leading to the demise of the Holy City," Ji Yongsheng narrated, his tone becoming heavier towards the end.

Qin Jun understood; no wonder Ji Yongsheng was so obsessed with restoring the Holy City and taking vengeance against the gods and immortals.

He hadn’t expected the origin of the Extreme Flame Demon God to be so ancient.

Older than the Heavenly Dao itself.

Qin Jun suddenly felt as if he had struck it big, inheriting a bloodline that even the gods and immortals feared must be incredibly powerful.

"Ding! Main quest completed — The Mystery of the Demon God! You have received two God and Demon summoning chances, one God and Demon Legion summoning chance, one random draw, one skill inheritance, one capability search opportunity, and one God and Demon instance chance!"

The system notification sounded, giving Qin Jun the sensation of hitting the jackpot.

Boom!

Lavish rewards!

Qin Jun was excited in his heart, whereas Ji Yongsheng became sullen. Why had his sensory connection to Qin Jun suddenly been severed again?
