Chapter 352: The Future of the Demon Realm

All demons in the hall froze, experiencing sudden disillusionment. Was this their Demon God? No! They had to be dreaming – their deity couldn’t possibly wear such a foolish expression!

The demons rubbed their eyes, but the lovestruck maiden’s silly grin remained on the figure above them.

"Master! Master…" Long Zhen desperately called out multiple times.

The figure jolted awake, face hardening into icy detachment. The pink Demonic Energy around him turned pitch-black as crushing Pressure flooded the hall.

Before anyone could react, every demon slammed face-first onto the floor, their Demonic Energy threatening to scatter.

"Mas…ter…" they gasped, truly sensing his power for the first time – an instinctual force rooted in every demon’s soul, impossible to resist.

Just as their Demonic Energy neared collapse, the Pressure lessened. A cold voice demanded, "Who dares invade my hall?"

The demons who’d been waiting for hours: "…"

Had all their earlier reports been ignored?

"Master!" A nearly-crushed city lord wheezed, "We’re Demon Realm city rulers! We came when your gates opened!"

"Hmm?" The Demon God’s gaze swept the room before locking onto Gong Xi. "Demon King’s seal? Oh…you."

He withdrew his Pressure with visible annoyance. The demons stayed kneeling, not daring to rise.

"Master!" Long Zhen cut in before Gong Xi could speak, "Now you’ve awakened, command us! What’s our next move?"

"Your moves?" The Demon God snorted, irritation clear. "What’s that to me?"

Silence gripped the hall.

Long Zhen pressed, "With your awakening strengthening us, we can conquer the Three Realms! Unify the Six Realms!"

"Unification?" The Demon God blinked. Why bother with realms when he needed revenge on Yuan Qi?

Gong Xi interjected, "We’re not ready to attack!"

Long Zhen countered, "The timing’s perfect!"

As the Demon God opened his mouth to curse, a clear voice cut through: "Because I forbid it!"

White light flashed as You You appeared beside the throne.

The Demon God scrambled backward until his back hit the wall.

"…Why hide?" You You stared at the empty seat then the cowering deity.

Flushing crimson, he snapped, "You know why!" Memories of yesterday’s embarrassment flooded him. "How’d you escape?"

"Your room wasn’t locked." You You shrugged. "Your Divine Temple’s too big – I used spatial magic."

The Demon God’s face darkened, realizing he’d forgotten protective seals.

"You You?" Gong Xi stood trembling. "But you’re…female?"

"Apologies for earlier deception." You You smiled.

Gong Xi’s eyes moistened. "Just…just stay safe."

Nearby, the wall-pressed Demon God glared at their interaction, fighting the urge to expel everyone.

"You!" Long Zhen recognized the human who’d slain Long Ting and sealed their realm.

You You’s power crushed all demons except Gong Xi. "Zhen Yan Sect forbids demon invasions. Understood?"

Long Zhen gaped at her audacity. "Master! Protect us!"

You You turned. "Taking their side?"

"Not my problem!" The Demon God blurted.

Every demon stared in shocked silence. Where was their promised ruler?
