Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World
Chapter 3 New Opportunities
Ying Li ignored the opposition from all walks of life in the demon clan and formed an alliance with humans. Soon he will lead four of the nine demon kings under his command to the land of Yanhuang.
Before leaving, a special guest came to Ying Li's castle. The guest did not come in person, but was represented by a magical clone, whose graceful figure floated into the bedroom from the window and met Ying Li head-on.
"Aliovehement? You actually came to me today."
The figure made a clear and moving female voice, and said in a tone full of anger: "Huh~ You didn't even consult me on such a big matter as establishing diplomatic relations with a foreign race?"
Ying Li replied nonchalantly, "Those three guys haven't been in the imperial capital for more than a thousand years, right? You've also been living in the palace for a long time. I asked you to make the decision myself many times before. What happened this time?"
It turned out that this woman was none other than the Demon Lord Areovihes, who was as famous as Ying Li. She had been sitting in the imperial capital all year round, overlooking the entire empire and silently guarding the existence of this huge empire.
She sighed and said, "You also know that I have the power to foresee the future. Sharing your magic power with those barbarians like this will bring disaster."
Ying Li was a little surprised. Although he knew very well that the other party was very good at divination, he was the Demon Lord. How could he go back on his word?
"I don't know the deep meaning of your prophecy, but I have made up my mind. I will deal with any unexpected events. While I am away, I will leave the demon tribe to you alone."
After saying that, Ying Li waved his sleeves and dispersed the other person's clones. These words suddenly made him feel uneasy. He walked alone in the quiet streets of the imperial capital late at night, looking up at the starry sky with hesitation.
"Hey~ Look who is this? Ah! It's the respected Demon Lord!" An abrupt voice broke the tranquility of the night, causing Ying Li's heart to tremble and his melancholy feeling to shatter.
Whenever he saw this guy, Ying Li always felt that all kinds of trivial matters seemed insignificant, and the huge rock pressing on his heart became much lighter. It was Galantina.
"Is it you? Why are you running around so late?" Ying Li asked.
"Hey! I couldn't sleep after being scolded by my mother and the elders all day, so I came out to relax. You must have something on your mind that kept you awake, right?"
Galantina said with a pout, her face full of unhappiness but she felt much better after seeing Ying Li.
Ying Li was amused by her changeable expression and immediately became interested and asked:
"How do you know I can't sleep either?" Ying Li did not tell him that as the Demon Lord, he did not need sleep.
"Otherwise, it's so late, except for the night market over there, who would go out and hang out at night."
Ying Li was stunned for a moment, and the scenes of traveling with her in the human territory came back to his mind. After careful consideration, it was indeed true.
He also remembered that when humans are in a bad mood, they always like to numb themselves by taking a walk, drinking, smoking, and crying.
The Purple Flower Demon had no tear glands and could not cry. Ying Li didn't know what the point of crying was. He also didn't like smoking or drinking, so naturally he couldn't drink to ease his sorrow. After much thought, the only thing that suited him was taking a walk.
The two of them sat on a chair by the river. Galanthe drank a red and black drink that she had bought wholesale from the human territory. After taking a few gulps, she burped heartily and exhaled cold air from her mouth.
"Would you like a sip? Coke is so delicious, but unfortunately no one in our tribe knows how to make it. My mother has also put me under house arrest and won't let me leave the imperial capital after I get married. I can't buy human Coke!" Galanthena handed half a bottle of drink to Ying Li's mouth.
Ying Li shook his head and said disdainfully: "It must be without nutrition. I won't drink it."
"Tsk~ You guys who work with plants, you really don't know how to enjoy yourself."
Come to think of it, Ying Li also refused to eat or drink during the previous journey, and only drank water once a day. He looked at colored and flavored drinks as if they were poisons. Could this purple flower demon from the plant-based demon clan really still maintain its habit of being a flower?
Galantina suddenly asked, "What about you? What are you worried about?"
Ying Li shook his head and didn't want to answer unless she had the ability to solve it. As the daughter of the Demon King, Galantina naturally understood something. Since the Demon King didn't say anything, it must be something she couldn't worry about, so there was no need to trouble herself.
She changed the subject and said mysteriously, "By the way! Do you want to do me a favor?"
"What's the deal?"
Galantina made a mysterious request: "Can you help me regain my freedom? I'm afraid I'll be suffocated to death in the abyss."
"How can I help you? If your mother doesn't agree, I can't favor you."
"It's simple. I need to find a husband so that my mother won't bother me. How about you help me deal with it?"
Galantina said with a smile, and her already rosy face became even redder as she spoke.
"Arranging marriages is not the job of the Demon Lord. I have lived for more than two thousand years and have never come into contact with these mundane matters. I'm sorry that I can't help you." Ying Li said helplessly.
In fact, Ying Li had spent nearly a thousand years in the form of a plant out of his two thousand years. After he transformed into the Purple Flower Demon, he faced the chaotic world of the demon world, which was rife with dangers. After finally getting a moment of peace, he had to practice rapidly to become stronger, while at the same time recruiting people to develop and expand his own power.
After his magic power was perfected, he had already conquered the demon world and began to share the world with the other four peerless supreme beings. He worked day and night to protect the demon empire. How could he have the mind to care about love affairs?
Galantina sighed, lowered her head in disappointment and asked, "Do you dislike me so much?"
"It's not that I dislike you. It's much easier to get along with you than with those politicians."
"Then I will marry you! This way I will be free, and... and you are really my type."
"How can this be so casual?"
Ying Li was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to be so straightforward. Over the past thousand years, he had seen countless beautiful and outstanding women of the opposite sex, and he had coldly ignored countless admiring glances. Compared with countless beauties in the past, this woman was by no means the best, but she was the most daring.
Galantina also took the risk. For the sake of her own freedom and the crazy idea that suddenly came to her mind, she decided not to hesitate, not to waver, not to turn back, and to just hit her head against the wall and die.
"Don't worry about it. If you like it, you like it. You don't need to think about it."
Marriage is not a trifle, it needs to be carefully considered. Although Ying Li lacks experience, he subconsciously feels that he cannot easily agree to this. A hand is placed on Galantina's shoulder, and after she screams, the two suddenly disappear.
In the blink of an eye, the two appeared in the territory of the Demon Dragon Clan. The Jiao Demon King was standing at the door of a manor, as if he expected his daughter to come back at this moment, but he didn't expect that it was Ying Li who sent her back.
"Hey? My daughter, Lord Demon? My Lord Demon, how could my daughter deserve such honor to have you escort her in person? It is such a sin!" Ah Jiao bowed hurriedly, looking extremely terrified.
After Ying Li handed Galantina to A Jiao, he did not stop and disappeared into the horizon, leaving only his cold voice:
"A Jiao, your daughter is very good, don't punish her too much. Tomorrow you and your daughter can also go to the Yanhuang Land with us."
There was a flash of panic in Ying Li's eyes, and his departure was like running away. This was the first time in thousands of years that he had such a strange feeling. He had seen so many more beautiful women, but he was moved by a snake demon?
They descended on the human territory once again, led by the five great demon kings, Fire, Dragon, Blood, Shadow and Illusion, and accompanied by millions of demon soldiers and generals. The army advanced steadily and mightily, and wherever they went, all living things bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before them.
Ying Li sat on a huge, high and luxurious throne, driven by five black dragons under the command of the Jiao Demon King, and surrounded by black-armored guards.
When I returned to the old place, I saw that the peaceful and tranquil farmhouse had long since turned into a sea of fire and purgatory. There were corpses and blood everywhere, and flames of war were raging. Not far away, I could see groups of orc soldiers torturing the human survivors.
"Get them."
At Ying Li's command, dozens of elite Purple Flower Demons turned into purple smoke and swept across the sea of fire, disarming and capturing the perpetrators, and then used the same skills to bring both tribes in front of Ying Li.
“Ah! You, you…”
A loud voice was heard among the humans who were brought back to the demon clan. Ying Li looked at him and saw that it was Wang Yi, who was covered in wounds.
"What's going on?" Ying Li flew down from the throne and came in front of Wang Yi, sending out a warm current of magic to relieve his injuries.
"Wu, Brother Ying, Brother Yingli...he, they, they forced us to join the Anti-Demon Alliance. When we refused, he, they..."
Anti-Demon Alliance. Ying Li thought for a moment. This name existed as early as the founding of the Demon Empire. It refers to the hostile forces that surround the empire, eyeing the empire covetously and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
They are everywhere, and cannot be killed or annihilated. The third of the five great demon lords has not returned for many years. He is rushing to the ends of the earth and leading three armies to conquer all directions with force. The quagmire of war has lasted for thousands of years.
Only Ying Li intends to use both soft and hard tactics. He is committed to "peace" and seeks reliable allies from all sides. He uses courtesy before force, defense before attack when facing enemies. He knows very well that the enemies in the dark are endless, and constantly committing murders will only bring deeper hatred. When will the cycle of revenge end?
The previous visit to the mortal world made the demon lord more certain of his idea that human wisdom would bring a turning point for the demon clan and break the predicament of being surrounded by enemies on all sides.
Now that humans are in trouble, Ying Li is determined to help them to the end. He sends his subordinates to use good medicine to heal the wounds of the human refugees, equips the young and middle-aged among them with weapons and equipment, and marches towards Huadu, the main city of Yanhuang Land. Along the way, he cuts through the thorns and destroys six large orc fortresses, saving thousands of refugees.
"Brother Yingli, you guys are so amazing. I wish I could cast magic like you."
Wang Yi came to Ying Li's car and said, the towering human city wall appeared on the horizon, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"After we establish diplomatic relations, I will allow humans to come to the Abyss to bathe in the power of the Devil's Heart and practice magic. Your wish will come true." Ying Li assured him.
"boom!"
Just as he finished speaking, a heavy shell landed at the front of the demon army. The devastating explosion blew the land and the demon soldiers into pieces, followed by another series of bombings.
"Fire wall!"
The Fire Demon King flew out and erected flame barriers in front of the army to block the subsequent artillery shells, which exploded in the air.
"Why are they attacking us?"
"Damn it, they're crazy!"
The human refugees panicked. They looked at the row of artillery positions on the city wall in confusion, wondering why their compatriots were pointing their guns at them.
"Alas! Perhaps we have compromised with the orcs. Your Majesty, I am afraid that we humans will disappoint you." An old man bowed to Ying Li and apologized.
Ying Li did not need to say much, as several demon kings had already begun to command their troops to defend in an orderly manner. All the demons present had extraordinary abilities, and if they did not want to make friends with humans, they would have used their magical powers to turn the mortal fortress in front of them into ruins.
Ying Li ordered a siege on the city, then approached the black-armored Shadow Demon King and said, "Altros, I'll use the Dark Vision to open your vision, and you can teleport inside to deal with the things that are preventing us from entering the city."
After saying that, demonic energy surged from Ying Li's body, and countless shadows rushed towards Huadu. At the same time, a shadow was injected into the body of the Shadow Demon King, and the sky above the distant city was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
"Yes."
The Shadow Demon King responded and also activated his magic power. A black vortex appeared under his feet and his entire body was submerged in it.
The next moment, all the defense facilities in Huadu City exploded, the city gates opened wide, and countless black demonic energy rose into the sky in the city, accompanied by countless shrill screams.
Countless wronged souls visible to the naked eye flew up to the sky, creating a scene of a hundred ghosts parading at night. The figure of the Shadow Demon Lord Altros appeared in the center of the darkness in the sky, announcing the arrival of the Supreme Demon to the crowd below.
"We have no intention of killing. Those who know what's best for you should surrender immediately!"
Soon, the demons occupied the human capital, and Ying Li ordered that civilians and those who surrendered should not be harmed.
The vast majority of ordinary people in the city welcomed the demon army as if they were saviors, and did not regard these tall, strong, and strange-looking demons as invaders at all.
There is a polarized opposition among humans, one side advocates surrendering to the orcs, the other side advocates independence. A few days ago, the orc army approached the border, and with the help of the human spies they bought and the orc masters who sneaked into the human city, they took control of Huadu in one fell swoop and implemented a cruel tyranny to enslave humans.
"Demon saviors, my name is Yuchi Yan, and I'm the commander of the human revolutionary army. Please follow me!" A bronze-skinned human brute volunteered to lead the way. He and a group of human rangers rushed in front of the demon army and killed their way to the outskirts of the Huadu Palace.
Outside this palace located in the central area of the city, there were already elite orcs and various human high-tech weapons, which Ying Li had seen on the battlefield.
Yuchi Yan's troops were all poorly equipped thugs with only the most basic guns and ammunition. They did not have large armored vehicles such as tanks and planes. However, facing those human traitors, he was ready to die. He volunteered to attract firepower from Ying Li and asked the powerful demons to use their magical powers to defeat the enemy.
At the moment when he was about to mount his horse and charge, his tall body was snatched away by the magic dragon under Ying Li's seat and put back where it was, as if the dragon didn't want him to go out and fight.
Ying Li looked at him with admiration and said, "You are a brave human being. How can we let you be cannon fodder? Just wait and see. You won't have to do anything about what's going to happen next."
