Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"I know what you mean, and I don't blame you." Lan Moqiu understood her thoughts and quickly responded.

"In fact, I also hate war. If the gods hadn't repeatedly provoked me and repeatedly touched my bottom line, how could this war have broken out?" Yu Xiaobai said bluntly. Who would like to fight for no reason? Wouldn't it be nice to have this free time to indulge in pleasure and travel around?

As Yu Xiaobai spoke, he was thinking about how to help his soldiers recover some strength.

She walked slowly towards Yuan Ze, only to see that beside Yuan Ze, two envoys, Sang Zi and Fu Yue, were sitting cross-legged quietly, concentrating on regulating their breathing.

Not far away, the other three elders, like Yuan Ze, were resting and breathing peacefully under the protection of a group of messengers.

Each of them had bruises on their bodies and faces to varying degrees. Their originally spotless clothes had been torn and stained with blood.

"Your Highness..." Mu Yun caught a glimpse of Yu Xiaobai's figure, a look of joy appeared on his face, and he called softly.

Yu Xiaobai immediately made a gesture to keep quiet, then tiptoed to Mu Yun's side, squatted down swiftly, and asked in a low voice: "Are you hurt?" After she finished speaking, she also glanced at Zhao Ge beside her.

"Your Highness, Zhao Ge is fine. Your Highness, when did you wake up?" Mu Yun looked at Yu Xiaobai with eyes full of heartache and worry.

Yu Xiaobai shook her head and said: "I have never fallen asleep. I have only been experiencing endless reincarnations for tens of thousands of years. During this period, I have forgotten all my memories as a demon king and have become just an ordinary creature." She has gone through thousands of reincarnations, and in her long life in the demon world, she is just an ant-like existence.

"After His Highness passed away, Zhao Ge and I were implicated by our oath of protection, so we were trapped in the Twin Dragons Secret Realm, falling into an endless abyss of sleep." Mu Yun spoke slowly, his voice seemed to have traveled through ten thousand years, long and lonely.

Yu Xiaobai stared at Mu Yun. This guy was indeed the most loyal guardian. She had experienced reincarnation for ten thousand years, and he had protected her for a thousand years. During the more than a thousand years when she was the demon king, he and Zhao Ge were like her shadows, inseparable from her, protecting her in life and death.

"It's really hard for you and Zhao Ge to know such an incompetent monarch." Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but say politely.

"Your Highness, you are too polite! Zhao Ge and I were born to protect Your Highness, just like the stars protect the moon. Your Highness, we will be wherever you are..." Mu Yun said, his cheeks flushed like the sunset.

Yu Xiaobai was filled with emotion. She was originally an ordinary girl, but in the twists and turns of fate, she became the monarch who protected all monsters.

She was surrounded by not only the five elders and two guardians, but also Lan Moqiu, Helan Ruofeng, and her close friends. If it weren't for the support and help from these people along the way, she would have been like a withered flower, cold in the dust of time, truly cold.

Looking at the demon soldiers lying or sitting everywhere, Yu Xiaobai felt less and less inclined to start a war. He wanted to leave this battlefield filled with blood mist. He wanted to find Helan Ruofeng more and more, and then hide in the Danxia Secret Realm together and live the peaceful and stable days he once had.

The Danxia secret realm had disappeared, and it was extremely difficult to find such a secret realm. She still needed to extract a trace of her own spirit like she did ten thousand years ago and open up a new world.

Moreover, even if the Danxia Secret Realm is opened again, without Helan Ruofeng, how can it shine as before and make her yearn for it?

"Your Highness, you are here?" Zhao Ge suddenly opened his eyes, and nimbly twisted his body to move towards Yu Xiaobai, blinking at Mu Yun continuously, as if telling the secret between them.

"Zhao Ge...is there sand in your eyes?" Seeing Zhao Ge like this, Yu Xiaobai couldn't help but ask curiously.

"..." Zhao Ge remembered that His Highness Feng Xi had some potential for humor ten thousand years ago, but he wouldn't be so humorous?

"Heh..." Mu Yun raised the corner of his mouth slightly and let out a chuckle.

"Mu Yun, what are you laughing at?" Zhao Ge's face darkened and he raised his hand and slapped Mu Yun.

Seeing the two of them so relaxed, Yu Xiaobai felt a little more at ease.

When several elders heard the quarrel between the two guardians and the monarch, they all opened their eyes and looked over here.

"Great Elder, our soldiers have been fighting for a long time without food or water. Can they really hold out until the next battle?" Hu Xiu looked worried and asked Yuan Ze.

"Now the God Realm is watching us covetously and has no intention of retreating. All we have is to send some soldiers to sneak into the city to look for food." Yuan Ze looked at the motionless sentry from the God Realm who was staring at this side in the distance, and said after thinking for a moment.

"That's the only way." Hu Xiu nodded in response.

"Yuwu City is too big a target, so why not let Gu Chenyang lead his men back to Jiuming City!" Ming Changyi reminded.

Yuwu City is already completely under the surveillance of the gods, and Jiuming City is very far away from here. In comparison, it is naturally more appropriate to go to Jiuming City.

"It's also possible to go to Luoqueyuan, where there is more food." Bi Cangyan said immediately.

"Why don't you two elders send people back? The more food they bring back, the better." Hu Xiu said after seeing this situation.

"What the Second Elder said is absolutely right. We have a lot of soldiers now, so the more food the better." Yuan Ze immediately agreed with Hu Xiu's suggestion.

"In that case, it is decided like this! Does anyone here have any objection?" Yuan Ze asked the other three elders with a solemn face.

"We have no objection." The three elders Hu Xiu answered in unison.

"Mingfeng, take your brothers back to Luoqueyuan to collect food. The more the better." Bi Cangyan made a prompt decision and gave an order to the eldest son of the Chihu family.

"I will follow the elder's orders and bring back enough food for everyone." After receiving the order, Mingfeng immediately rushed back to Luoqueyuan with his brothers like a gust of wind.

"Gu Chenyang, take Qingyu Chengfeng back to Jiuming City and bring back all the food in the city." Ming Changyi also hurriedly ordered.

"I will follow the elder's orders." After receiving the order, Gu Chenyang also brought Qingyu Chengfeng and rushed back to Jiuming City like an arrow.

After the people who were looking for food left, the elders looked at each other in silence again.

Yu Xiaobai sat aside, listening to all this quietly without saying a word. She was indeed not suitable to be a monarch, let alone a leader.

When she was the Demon King, she had to be taken care of by others for her daily life, and she had to be guarded by the left and right guardians. All major decisions were made after consultation with the five elders, and she could only participate reluctantly at best.

The five elders had never thought of sidelining her. After all, everyone knew that they respected her and treated her well in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Since she succeeded the Demon King for thousands of years, the Demon Ring has always been peaceful and has kept a distance from the God Realm, the Immortal Realm, the Human Realm, and the Underworld. Until he met the God Lord Cangmo and the human woman Minnuo whom he deeply loved. It was the first time that Yu Xiaobai made a decision on his own, and brought disaster upon himself.

The first decision she made not only brought disaster upon herself, but also pushed the demon world into a darkness without light for ten thousand years. Her left and right guardians were trapped in the Double Dragon Secret Realm and slept for ten thousand years, and the millions of soldiers in the demon world were forcibly sealed in the Mixu Illusion Realm by the God Realm.

That was why she remained silent when the elders were discussing how to get the food together, as if she was practicing Zen meditation.

Seeing that several elders began to close their eyes and rest, she also began to sit cross-legged, ready to absorb the spiritual energy nearby.

Lan Moqiu had no expression on his face at this time, he just quietly looked at the Ten Thousand Demons Guardian who was trapped in the formation. At this time, the Ten Thousand Demons Guardian was still tirelessly attacking the formation set up by Lan Moqiu.

In order to break the magic circle, he used all kinds of strange and weird methods, including water attack, fire attack, demonic attack, and violent attack. As he attacked again and again, Lan Moqiu gradually understood the properties of the magic he used.

For the powerful Lan Moqiu, no matter what kind of attack the Ten Thousand Demon Guardians used, he could have been fearless. However, there was only one method that made him feel apprehensive, and that was the Black Glazed Fire.

The Black Glazed Fire was originally a magic weapon used by the Gods to exterminate the demons, but if the gods were hit by it, they would suffer irreparable damage, and it is possible that their fate with the gods would be completely destroyed.

Lan Moqiu absolutely did not want to see anyone get hurt again, no matter if the other party was from the gods or demons.

At this time, Bai Qiyang moved to the side of Lan Moqiu and asked in a low voice: "Lord Cangmo, if my brother and the demon world go to war again later, what will you do? Will you persuade him to stop, or continue to watch coldly?"

"..." Lan Moqiu stared at Bai Qiyang in silence, without giving any suggestions.

"Lord Cangmo, I am really worried about my brother, but I also don't want to see Yu Xiaobai meet with any accident. Even though I know that she is the reincarnation of the Demon King Feng Xi, I can't bear to see her in trouble." Bai Qiyang said sincerely while looking at Lan Moqiu.

"Why?" Lan Moqiu was puzzled by Bai Qiyang's words. After all, he and Yu Xiaobai had no friendship. Why should he worry about Yu Xiaobai?

"I have a deep friendship with Taibu Star Lord, and Yu Weiqing was also from the same divine world. Helan Ruofeng is Taibu Star Lord's only beloved disciple, Yu Xiaobai is Weiqing's most cherished person, and Weiqing is Helan Ruofeng. Moreover, before her identity as a demon king was revealed, I always regarded her as an innocent and lovely little girl." Bai Qiyang said what he was thinking truthfully.

“Even though I’m a god, there are things I can’t solve. The war between the two worlds of demons and gods is like an arrow on a bow that has to be fired. What I can do now, and what I can do within my ability, is to eradicate the guardian of all demons.” Lan Moqiu looked at Bai Qiyang with sad eyes and said slowly.

What he said was true. He was originally the Lord Cangmo of the God Realm. How could he turn against the God Realm because of the changes in the Demon Realm? However, even though he was the Lord Cangmo of the God Realm, the God Realm sent troops to capture him ten thousand years ago in order to separate him from his beloved woman, and used cruel means to exterminate the entire Minnuo clan.

Since he had already left the divine world, it was understandable that he was unwilling to serve it anymore.

But the guardian of all demons is different. If he is manipulated by someone with ulterior motives, he will be like a flood that breaks through the dam and will surely cause a catastrophe one day.

Even if it is just for the sake of the six realms of sentient beings, he must get rid of it as soon as possible.

"Is it really too late to save them? Look at the broken limbs scattered all over the mountains and plains. No matter they are gods or demons, they all have wives, children and the elderly." Bai Qiyang stared at the corpses on the ground, his eyes full of sorrow. No matter they were gods or demons, they were all living beings in his eyes.

"Now that the war has begun, what happens next is inevitable. The Emperor of Heaven must defend the rules he has set. The demon world also has things it wants to protect." Cang Mo saw Bai Qiyang's pain, and a trace of compassion flashed in his eyes.

Bai Qiyang was originally a free and easy god who had no intention of seeking power. Even though his brother was a heavenly general in the divine world, he was willing to hide in the secret realm of Solo in the outer world, devoting himself to studying various alchemy furnaces and fiddling with all kinds of bottles and jars.

"Master Xiaobai, if you don't want to see this tragic scene, you can just close your eyes and travel to the human world alone. As the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind." Lan Moqiu said to comfort him.

"If I had not witnessed the tragic scene just now, perhaps I could have acted this way. But now, I have witnessed this war from beginning to end. How can I stand idly by and watch all the lives lost in the war?" Bai Qiyang said with a lonely expression.

"Even so, you have no choice but to stay. No matter who wins or loses between the demon and the god, we are powerless to stop them, unless..." After Lan Moqiu finished speaking, he looked into the distance meaningfully.

"Unless Lord Cangmo and Lord Weiqing are willing to return to the God Realm, the demon world is willing to admit defeat and submit to the God Realm, is that right?" Yu Xiaobai wanted to meditate and practice, but he was not disturbed by the conversation between the two and had no time to continue. He simply moved to Lan Moqiu's side, stared at him, and spoke slowly.

Lan Moqiu was surprised by what she said, so Yu Xiaobai continued, "Lord Cangmo decided to disobey the God Realm ten thousand years ago, so he will not be willing to return ten thousand years later. As for Lord Weiqing? How can Ruofeng return to the God Realm if his whereabouts are unknown at this time?"

When Yu Xiaobai said this, he finally felt unbearable and couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Then she continued, "As for the demon world surrendering to the God Realm and becoming its vassal? That is absolutely impossible. The God Realm originally wanted to destroy the demon world and wanted the demon world to be removed from the six realms. Even if the demon world wanted to surrender, the God Realm might not agree to let it go. Therefore, this last option cannot be achieved."

What she said was true. Lan Moqiu had never thought of returning to the divine world to meet the Emperor of Heaven. This was because his beloved woman died in the divine world, and because of the divine world, she swore to forget him for the rest of her life.

Wei Qing, as the Lord of Wei Qing who carries the complete memory of Helan Ruofeng, deeply loves his wife Yu Xiaobai. Even if he is willing to return to the God Clan in the end, it is to cut out the inner elixir to save his wife.

Therefore, he would never return to the God Realm for the identity of a god. Moreover, at this moment, he had lost all his cultivation and had no inner elixir, so he was no longer qualified to return to the God Realm.

As for the demon world's submission, ten thousand years ago, the oppression of the demon world by the gods had reached its peak. Not only did they seal the demon world's millions of demon soldiers in the Mixu Illusionary Realm, they also sealed off the demon world's passage to the outside world. This was tantamount to imprisoning the demon world for ten thousand years. If the demon world showed weakness to the gods this time, the gods would be angry and might oppress it even more than ten thousand years ago.

What Yu Xiaobai said is a fact known to everyone. If this battle is ultimately unavoidable, then we will have to fight to the death. As for who will win, we can only leave it to fate.

At this time, Bai Ji and others were also in a difficult situation. First, 300,000 divine soldiers were wiped out, and then the million reinforcements led by Zhuque also lost nearly 600,000. Such a huge number was accumulated by the lives of countless soldiers. How could he not be heartbroken? How could he not regret it?

Although Bai Ji wanted to withdraw his troops and return to the divine realm to stop the battle, he hesitated when he thought of the situation when he would face the stubborn Emperor of Heaven.

The four great gods, Xuanwu, Suzaku, Azure Dragon, and White Tiger, who were the guardians of the divine world, all looked dejected at this moment, with no fighting spirit at all. This battle was extremely frustrating, with no one winning or losing, and all that was gained was the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives, as well as endless pain and regret.
