Rebirth of a Thousand Years: Entering the New Demonic World

"Master, follow me."

Jack dismissed the onlookers and led Ying Li into a dangerous building filled with a strange atmosphere.

It was four stories high in total, and the top floor looked like it had been demolished, leaving a mess of broken walls. The lower walls were full of holes and missing parts, and the foundations were exposed in many places, making people wonder if it would collapse.

The windows are all made of black glass, most of which have cracks and cobwebs. Some classrooms are lit with dull yellow lights, some of which are even flickering. The school conditions are too shabby. This is a "ghost school."

But when you step into the building, you will see a completely different scene. It turns out that the dilapidated appearance on the outside is just an illusion. The inside is not only intact but also looks very new, just like the floor and walls have just been replaced.

Jack explained that the school has few students and most of them are very self-conscious and cannot bear to dirty or damage anything in the school. This is a hard-earned living environment.

Those seemingly eerie and strange things are just designed to be scary in order to cater to the aesthetic tastes of ghosts that have lived in dark environments for a long time.

But this territory belonging to ghosts still has some strange places. When Ying Li was going upstairs, he suddenly found that after walking up a whole flight of stairs, his feet suddenly touched something. He looked down and found that there was an extra step out of thin air.

Ying Li felt a spatial pulling force, which had no ill will towards him, but did have the tendency to take him somewhere.

When passing by an art classroom, Ying Li noticed in his peripheral vision that the eyes of some portraits were moving and giving him strange looks.

In some toilets, there is always a girl in a red dress knocking on the door of every room. I can't see her face clearly because I lower her head, and I don't know if all these people are the same person (ghost).

There was even someone brave enough to try to scare Ying Li. He was a stone child carrying a bundle of firewood and holding a textbook.

The stone child was dressed simply and had a simple face. He didn't look like a naughty kid at all. Ying Li wondered if the demons had developed the "bad habit" of scaring people after they degenerated into ghosts. It was just that they had chosen the wrong opponent.

"Ninomiya Kinjiro-san, how many times have I told you not to scare people? Besides, this is my master."

Jack put on a strict teacher's face, but the other party just made a face and ran away.

Finally, the two came to the dance studio on the top floor. The ceiling seemed to be leaking from the outside, but it was completely airtight inside.

There were several large mirrors on the walls of the dance studio with several conspicuous cracks on them. From them, Ying Li felt a more obvious spatial force than the previous stairs. However, it was not attracting him, but instead emitting some kind of demonic energy.

Jack: "This mirror can peek into the future."

Ying Li's mind trembled, and he asked in a deep voice as if he had thought of something, "Can it also search the soul?"

"If we keep searching, we will definitely find it in the future. Then 'getting the soul' is the future of Master and Wife," Jack reasoned.

"Let me try it myself first!"

Ying Li was somewhat moved. Without thinking, he stood in front of the mirror, his mental power burst out, and the person in the mirror really changed.

There was one more person beside him, it was Galantina, and Jack explained that this foreshadowed Ying Li's future partner.

What's strange is that there is another figure on the other side of Ying Li, but his appearance and size cannot be seen clearly. But in the next second, that area suddenly shattered, and there was a black hole with amazing gravity in the mirror.

"what?!"

Jack was shocked. She didn't even know the existence of this black hole. Just as she and Ying Li were about to be sucked into the sudden black hole, Ying Li suddenly pushed her away and ordered:

"Galantina and the others have accepted the mission to destroy the Giant Scorpion King. Go find them!"

Then, Ying Li disappeared into the mirror world. His figure and breath disappeared from the ghost school and the gray field. Only Jack was left with a dull look on his face. She was panicking. Could he have harmed the master she just met?

Soon she shook her head and thought: Master is the Dark Flame Demon Lord, he will not be swallowed by a mere campus ghost story.

Now I can only go outside the city to find Galantina and tell her about Ying Li's situation. I just hope that Master's wife will stop making wild guesses and that I am willing to take responsibility.

At the same time, on the other side——

The group was still exploring the ruins. After an unknown amount of time, more or less skeletal remains of living things began to appear in their field of vision. They also had holes on their bodies that were similar in size to those on the buildings.

Suddenly, Zi Ting's fox ears moved. She heard a rustling sound and quickly looked at the ground around her.

"Did you hear anything?"

Binghe looked confused. Human ears were definitely not as sensitive as animal ears. Miaomiao looked around uncertainly. Her cultivation was too low to sense the movements nearby through her divine sense.

Galantina looked towards the bottom of a stone pavilion and saw a few small black scorpions spying on everyone. She stuck out her tongue and made a low hissing sound like a wild beast demonstrating.

"Don't run!"

The two little scorpions were about to turn around and run away, but Galantina caught them one by one. They didn't intend to give up, and raised their stingers to stab Galantina's hands.

Unfortunately, as a snake demon, her seemingly smooth human skin was actually no different from the tough keratinous outer skin of a python. At the same time, as a snake, she naturally had antibodies to toxins, so the stinger was like hitting an iron plate.

"Tell me! Why are you following us?" Galanthe asked the two scorpions viciously.

Fear showed in the scorpion's rice-sized eyes, and its tiny brain finally made it understand that the person in front of them was not a tender human being, but a giant snake in human form.

They hurriedly replied in their own animal language: "Snake sister, don't eat us. If you want to eat us, you can eat our boss. We are leading the way!"

"Huh?" Galantina was stunned. As expected of a creature with low intelligence, she would sell out her master at will and would do anything to survive.

"Hey~Okay!" But Galantina was not a kind person. She put on a warm smile, then injected two streams of magic energy into the scorpions' bodies, and lied to them that this was a reward that would make them as powerful as their boss.

Then she released two scorpions to lead the way. This magic energy was indeed used for positioning, but she also added some other "tinkering".

Zi Ting said with some envy: "Wow, why can't I understand what the bugs say? Is it because you are all poisonous?"

Galantina tapped her on the top of her pink head in annoyance: "I am a python!"

The crowd followed the two scorpions, moving further and further away from the gray plain. The nearby building debris was gradually replaced by sand dunes and cliffs, and the corpses of various unidentified creatures appeared one after another.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking air in her ears, and a black shadow fell in front of Galantina. It was a white-haired one-horned girl with a childlike face and big breasts, and there were red cracked patterns outside her eyes.

This was the first time Jack met Galantina and others. He had only seen them in photos taken secretly by spies before.

She walked up to Galantina, who looked surprised, and suddenly knelt down and shouted, "I am an unfilial disciple and I am here to see my master! My master has been sucked away by the Mirror of the Future."

“Teacher’s wife??”

Everyone looked at Galantina in disbelief, and then at the strange Jack.

"What master's wife? The master you are talking about could not be..."

Galantina murmured, her face flushed as she guessed who the other person was referring to.

"My disciple Jack, [Seven Deadly Sins - Jealousy], is a disciple of Ying Li. I'll ask the Master's wife to decide how to find my master."

Jack told everyone what he had seen. The more Galantina listened, the angrier she became. She stared at him with more murderous intent, and finally a volcanic eruption:

"You...I'll strangle you to death--"

Miaomiao quickly grabbed Galantina and advised: "Calm down! She is the eldest disciple of the Demon Lord. She is also a member of the Empire, and cannot be touched!"

Jack also had a determined look on his face, and was indifferent to Galantina's anger: "I am willing to take all the responsibility!"

Little did she know that it was not her fault. In a palace far away, a short-haired woman on the throne was holding a mirror fragment and examining it carefully. It exuded the power of space. She said faintly:

“Some things, seeing them is a sin!”

On the outskirts of Huiyuan, Landina resolutely chose to go back to school with Jack. Her idea was simple and crude, which was to get into that black hole herself.

But before that, it is better to solve the current trouble first. Jack gave information that he knew the whereabouts of the scorpion.

While everyone was briefly stopping, the two scorpions had already arrived at a cave in a mausoleum. In the shadows, a giant beast with red eyes slowly climbed up and let out a suppressed growl towards the distance.

After a while, the ground began to tremble, and all nearby demon-controlling teams prepared for battle.

A large number of poisonous insects rushed out from all directions. Not only were there a large number of them, but they were also huge in size. The smallest one was about the size of a wolfhound.

The two little scorpions only gave their king one piece of information, that is, another invader was coming, but they didn't know that the enemy had installed surveillance cameras inside their bodies.

The next moment, the bodies of the two scorpions suddenly expanded. After a loud "boom", the might of the Ghost King descended, and the giant scorpion had no time to be afraid. Half of the insect skin on its face was directly shattered by the explosion, and green sticky blood flowed all over the ground.

"Roar!!"

A shrill roar resounded throughout the mausoleum, and the nearest teams of demon riders simultaneously locked onto the source of the sound. They all speculated in their hearts, was it the movement of the Reggae Ruins or some other unknown existence?

"Hehe~ I found it!"

Galantina also received the signal of her bomb explosion and locked onto the target at once. Then she suddenly faced the cliff, her magic power burst out, and she slashed with a sword.

"There's a shorter way!"

Instantly, the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed, with rubble and sand flying all over the sky. As expected, a tunnel in the mountain appeared in front of everyone. It turned out that letting the local bugs lead the way was more reliable than Jack's intelligence.

Jack was stunned for a few seconds, and was quite envious of the ghost king-level combat power. She had not had time to absorb the abyss crystal.

In the deep underground cave, the Scorpion King, with half of his face blown off, crawled to a black pearl and used his magic power to utter a series of strange syllables.

A strange bloodshot eye appeared in the reflection of the pearl, and the surrounding environment was surrounded by faint ghost lights.

A voice whose gender is difficult to discern sounded: "What do you want from me?"

The giant beast actually spoke human language and replied respectfully: "Respected Supreme Lord, your humble servant has important matters to report."

"If your story is so meaningless, I don't mind turning you into fodder to revive the Thunder King." The voice suddenly became murderous, making the other party shudder. He hurriedly said:

"No, no! This must be news that interests you. I smell a familiar face among these intruders. It's the one who worked with your former colleague..."

boom--

An explosion suddenly sounded from behind the giant scorpion Nakas, and a scorching red light shot into the wall of fire, interrupting the whisper between the giant scorpion and its master.

"Roar!!"

Nakas roared angrily, and the ground outside shook a little more. Various scorpions that were smaller than it broke out of the ground and rushed towards the invaders aggressively.

"I'm sorry! My Lord, I will deal with them quickly!" Nakas apologized to the eyes in the black pearl, but the other party stopped Nakas.

"and many more."

As she spoke, Black Pearl seemed to be casting a spell. A strange mist gushed out, and countless black tentacles passed over the scorpion group and pointed directly at an arrogant white-haired woman in the crowd.

The intruder was Galantina, and she also felt that something was locking onto her, an invincible and irresistible force.

"Master's wife, be careful!"

Jack flew forward, trying to be a human shield for Galantina, but those tentacles seemed to have no substance, and passed through Jack like an afterimage and came to Galantina.

"What the hell? Get out of here!"

Galantina knew that the opponent was much stronger than her, but she was not the kind of person who would just accept it and she had to fight to the death.

"God Slayer: Blade Prison"!

The chain blade pierced straight into the ground, and countless huge spikes broke out of the ground, trying to crush the group of strange tentacles.

Unfortunately, it only stung the scorpion's claws and fangs to pieces. The moment the tentacles touched the sword blade was like the intersection of light and shadow, and the tentacles disappeared and reappeared immediately.

Galantina was about to attack, but suddenly she felt weak all over, and a strange voice sounded in her ears:

"I am a demon lord, don't resist me, just come with me!"

After saying that, several tentacles suddenly pierced through everyone's body, and everyone's consciousness was swallowed up by the boundless darkness at that moment...

At this moment, after a moment of trance, Ying Li suddenly found himself sitting in a primeval forest. In the distance, smoke from war continued to be heard and shouts of killing continued to rise and fall.

"This is where?"

He immediately used the "Dark Vision World" to explore. This was a huge island with heavy rocks and peaks, and the sea was shrouded in thick fog, so he couldn't see the other side of the sea at all.

A large number of ships were docked on the east and south coasts, including the familiar figures of the Hundred Beasts Gate, the Temple of the Gods, and the Iron Blood Alliance, as well as old acquaintances Xing Chu, Mo Cha, and Mo Yunxiu.

The disputes in the mountains and forests are exactly the battles among these sects, and no one knows whether they are fighting to settle grudges or to compete for resources.

"Hmph! Interesting, let's catch someone and ask him."
