King of Creation Chapter 2016 - 2001: Inheritance of the Ancient Demon God
Previously on King of Creation...
When his figure appeared in the center of the Great Hall of Demon Souls, the War Soul Blood Flag connected with his Primordial Spirit gave Ye Zhen an unprecedented sense of control.
The last time Ye Zhen came to the Demon Soul Realm was two years ago.
But compared to two years ago, Ye Zhen’s Primordial Spirit Power, after being refined by the Will Power of All Living Beings and rapidly increasing from cultivating the Heavenly Mechanism Secret, has increased by more than ten times.
After the Primordial Spirit became powerful, sensing the entire Demon Soul Realm through the War Soul Blood Flag felt completely different.
Ye Zhen felt that at this moment, the Demon Soul Realm was completely under his control.
Even upon arriving in the Demon Soul Realm, Ye Zhen sensed the positions and conditions of Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu through the War Soul Blood Flag.
In terms of cultivation, Hei Er was still leading, currently at the Peak of Fourth Stage of Realm King Realm, and Hei Qi and Hei Jiu were both at the Early Stage of Fourth Stage of Realm King Realm.
In just two years, the number of troops in the entire Demon Soul Realm had doubled, and the core elite forces had multiplied.
Among those Ye Zhen sensed, there were as many as 105 strong individuals in the Realm King Realm, more than doubling since the last time Ye Zhen left.
The number of Dark Palace Realm Demon Soul Commanders has reached over twenty thousand, compared to the four thousand when Ye Zhen left before, a fivefold increase.
The strength of the entire Demon Soul Realm had increased several times over.
However, oddly enough, Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu, who were originally supposed to command three corps separately, were now gathered together.
In Ye Zhen’s perception, they were in an extremely remote valley within the Demon Soul Realm, doing who knows what.
Of course, if Ye Zhen wanted to know, he could reach that valley in an instant by sensing Hei Er’s position through the War Soul Blood Flag.
However, Ye Zhen was not in a hurry to do so.
He trusted in the loyalty of Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu and believed more in the current control over the Demon Soul Realm.
Almost at the moment Ye Zhen descended upon the Soul Hall, Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu, who were in front of that remote valley discussing gravely, suddenly changed their expressions and turned to look in the direction of the Soul Hall.
The War Soul Blood Flag was to the Demon Soul Realm what the moon was to the Primordial Continent.
Without the moon, the Human Clan of the Primordial Continent would not survive.
However, without the moon’s light, there would always be a feeling that something is missing.
Among the Demon Souls of the Demon Soul Realm, the higher the cultivation, the clearer this feeling.
Once the War Soul Blood Flag returns, it’s like having the illumination of sunlight and moonlight, a kind of indescribable comfort and sense of security, even cultivation would inexplicably speed up a bit.
"The Grand Marshal is back!"
"The Grand Marshal is back!"
"Indeed!"
The three looked at each other, then transformed into streams of blood light and soared into the sky, heading straight for the Great Hall of Demon Souls.
After a brief commotion, the large army behind them received the order from the three Corps Leaders to remain on alert at their positions!
The actions of Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu were clearly sensed by Ye Zhen through the War Soul Blood Flag.
A smile appeared on Ye Zhen’s lips at that moment, and his Divine Sense had already immersed into his Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace.
In the Seven Mysterious Spirit Palace, the massive All Living Beings’ Will Power Pool formed by Ye Zhen using his Primordial Spirit was previously filled with a vast amount of Will Power.
The Will Power transformed into Spiritual Liquid had at least filled half of this All Living Beings’ Will Power Pool, and Ye Zhen estimated there were at least hundreds of millions of drops, totaling thousands of kilograms.
However, now, the All Living Beings’ Will Power Pool was empty, due to Ye Zhen’s all-out strike earlier.
Still, being able to sever Tu Zheng’s two life-extended fox tails and severely injure the Xuanling, a Creation Spiritual Treasure stronger than an Innate Spiritual Treasure from the bloodline’s holy land of the Qingqiu Fox Clan, was worth it.
If it were anyone else instead of Tu Zheng, Ye Zhen would have certainly killed them twice over.
After carefully observing the All Living Beings’ Will Power Pool for a while, a smile reappeared on Ye Zhen’s lips.
Because just after Ye Zhen had gambled all of the vast All Living Beings’ Will Power in the pool, until now, a small cluster of All Living Beings’ Will Power had surprisingly condensed at the bottom of the bowl-sized pool.
Probably just a dozen drops.
Moreover, this small cluster of All Living Beings’ Will Power was continuously increasing.
Even as he stood there for a bit longer, another drop was added.
This slightly eased the pangs of regret in Ye Zhen’s heart.
After all, the All Living Beings’ Will Power was currently Ye Zhen’s greatest reliance for survival, and after the previous gambit, he had to be cautious.
But judging by the current growth of the All Living Beings’ Will Power, it wouldn’t take long for Ye Zhen to accumulate tens of thousands of drops.
Ye Zhen was also well aware that this was the All Living Beings’ Will Power contributed to him by those Sand Sea People he had saved in Yizhi Sand Sea.
Especially the fanatics among the Sand Sea People, who were contributing All Living Beings’ Will Power to Ye Zhen at every moment.
Countless fanatics collectively channeled their faith in Ye Zhen, forming this exceedingly valuable All Living Beings’ Will Power coveted even by Creation Gods.
However, while enjoying these benefits, Ye Zhen felt an even heavier sense of responsibility.
Previously, Ye Zhen thought his help to the Sand Sea People in Yizhi Sand Sea was merely coincidental.
But now, Ye Zhen inexplicably understood the thoughts of the Grand Priest Nahar of the Sand Sea.
And he realized why Grand Priest Nahar protected and facilitated Ye Zhen so much.
Protector!
Because, in Nahar’s eyes, Ye Zhen was like him, both protectors of the hundreds of billions of Sand Sea People in Yizhi Sand Sea.
In his contemplation, the devout faces of countless Sand Sea People, tear-streaked faces kneeling in worship of Ye Zhen, as if kissing the purest thing in the world, kissing Ye Zhen’s feet, appeared one by one in his mind.
Ye Zhen knew that in this life, he was inseparable from the Sand Sea People of Yizhi Sand Sea.
Receiving their tributor faith meant he had to protect them!
This was the Heavenly Dao!
It was also human nature!
"Subordinates pay respects to the Grand Marshal!" the voices of Hei Er, Hei Qi, and Hei Jiu, respectfully saluting, jolted Ye Zhen from his endless contemplation.
Turning around, he saw three imposing Demon Soul Generals kneeling on one knee, completely still.
"Rise!"
"Thank you, Grand Marshal!"
After rising, Hei Er stepped forward respectfully, "As per tradition, upon your return, your subordinate shall first report all matters within the Demon Soul Realm over the past two years to you, Grand Marshal."
"No need."
"I can see that over these two years, you all have done well," Ye Zhen praised generously, "As for specific affairs, you can write them down and submit them via Jade Scrolls later, and I will review them one-by-one."
He paused, his expression growing serious, "Right now, what I’m most interested in is the task I assigned to you a few years ago—searching for the inheritance of the Ancient Demon God in the Demon Soul Realm. Is there any progress?"
Upon hearing this, the three exchanged glances, and Hei Qi stepped forward, "Reporting to the Grand Marshal, we were about to report on this matter."
"Four months ago, in a valley at the far west of the Demon Soul Realm, we suspect there lies the inheritance of the Ancient Demon God."
"Oh, really?" Ye Zhen, seated at the head, suddenly sat up straight.
