Chapter 202: Find the Creator—Urgent, Life-or-Death

Luo Zhu's words echoed in their ears, and the great masters stood frozen.

The being who created our ancestors!!

They knew exactly what Luo Zhu meant—his words implied they too had a patron.

Whoever could be the patron of a Void Demon great master must be stronger than a great master; across the Void Demon Realm, the only beings stronger than those present were the deceased Sacrificial Master—and beyond him, only the Creator of the Void Demon Realm, who could easily kill the Sacrificial Master!

The Sacrificial Master had been dead for some time, yet they could not forget that day.

For on that day, they learned the Void Demon Realm was merely a petri dish—a world created by a terrifying being out of sudden scientific curiosity, and the Void Demons were nothing but test subjects.

Even now, none of them could forget the palm strike that obliterated the Void Demon Realm by Master Konghai.

That level was not merely beyond them.

It was above them!

A supreme being towering over them, an invincible force.

Luo Zhu ignored the reactions of the great masters and continued:

"Actually, I've been wondering whether to seek the Creator's help. After all, we are his creations, and now that we are under invasion, surely he won't stand idly by—though I'm not suggesting we rely solely on the Creator for aid.

I mean, shouldn't we prepare a backup plan? On one hand, we continue resisting the invasion from that world.

On the other, we consider the possibility that they may have targets beyond our capacity to oppose; to prevent the Void Demon Realm from falling and being overrun, we should reopen the sealed passage between the Creator's world and our own.

That way, if they truly possess beings stronger than us, we can seek help immediately, without wasting time opening a passage, and gain more time to act."

Blood Master frowned and said:

"Even if we reopen the world, we might not find the Creator. Besides, from the conversation between those two back then, it seemed they were also fighting something—perhaps the Creator himself has no time to help us."

The great masters nodded, agreeing with Blood Master's view.

But at that moment, Demon Master paused, then spoke:

"We don't necessarily need to summon the Creator himself. Such a being surely has powerful subordinates—any one of his servants, or even a friend he sends, could resolve our troubles."

The one who blocked the palm that destroyed the Void Demon Realm—my lord!

Their minds conjured the image of Lord Cimu.

If the Creator is occupied, we could ask his friend who saved our Void Demon Realm for help—even if not him, sending someone weaker would suffice, since the Creator's friend is so powerful, and the Creator himself must be at the same level as his friend.

That level far surpasses ours; even a weaker one sent would be beyond our capacity to oppose, yet more than enough to deal with the invaders.

"By the way, Li Gui and Xian Jie are still in that world, weren't they sent there by the Sacrificial Master originally?"

Void Master paused, thought for a moment, then said:

"That bald giant must have encountered Xian Jie or Li Gui—Li Gui is too cautious to be discovered easily; as for Xian Jie, I know him well—the Sacrificial Master's invasions always had him leading the massacres.

He must have gone to that world and slaughtered, only to be discovered by the bald giant, who then flew into a rage—and since our aura resembles theirs, he destroyed us as well."

At these words, the great masters understood exactly what Void Master was implying.

Immediately, Demon Master and the others agreed.

"Li Gui may not be strong, but in caution, no Void Demon in this realm can match her—she likely didn't accompany Xian Jie into that world."

"I agree. The bald giant came after us because he discovered Xian Jie—but if Li Gui didn't go with him, once she learns of his death, she'll flee far away. And since the bald giant now knows we're unrelated to that world, even if he finds Li Gui, he's unlikely to kill her."

"True. Li Gui might still be alive. She's survived so long in that world—she must know something about it, perhaps even where the Creator is."

"Not just where the Creator is—I think she might be right beside him. Those two giants once said the Creator cares only for beauty and alcohol; with Li Gui's looks, how could he not be interested?"

At Evil Master's words, the great masters jolted, their eyes gleaming.

Come to think of it—it's entirely possible.

Li Gui's beauty ranks among the top three in the Void Demon Realm, and even among the worlds the Sacrificial Master invaded, none could match her. She must stand out even in the Creator's world—his interest in her is highly likely.

"If Li Gui is beside the Creator, even better—we reopen the passage and find a way to contact her, have her help us reach the Creator. Even if not, after living in that world so long, her nature ensures she's thoroughly familiar with it."

Instantly, after discussion, the great masters decided to pursue both paths simultaneously: resist the terrifying invaders while reopening the passage to contact Li Gui.

As long as Li Gui can reach the Creator.

Or even if they don't find the Creator, as long as she can help them find allies, they resolved to set aside their grudge against Li Gui and offer her abundant resources as reward.

"I'll handle reopening the passage. My daughter will go to that world to find Li Gui—she has some acquaintance with Li Gui," said Demon Master.

……

Tokyo, Japan.

A bloody war raged across the Void Demon Realm, but Li Gui knew nothing of it; for these past days, she had gone daily to Oi-ku Mountain, searching for a way to open the passage.

Otherwise, she worked as a maid at a maid café, and spent her free time chatting with Kamikawa Mitsu.

【Kamikawa-kun, yesterday Chie and Iori came to the maid café—where were you? Did you sneak around with the lady who moved back in next door while your sister was away? SpongeBob SquarePants' Mr. Krabs squinted, sensing something fishy. jpg.】

After the Yamazaki Corporation used yakuza forces to evict apartment residents, the scandal exposed, the residents reclaimed their apartments, and over these days, residents had been gradually moving back in.

Yesterday, the neighbor next to Kamikawa Mitsu's apartment also moved back in—a female doctor.

【Huh, a lady?? Did Chie tell you that? That girl's always gossiping—she's not a wife, she's a doctor whose fiancé died right after they got their marriage certificate.】

It wasn't that Kamikawa Mitsu didn't want to revive the man—he'd already eaten him long before Xian Jie's rampage, and he wasn't among the thousand revived.

【That's so surreal? Died right after getting married? Are you sure he didn't just run away? Are you sure he's dead?】

【Definitely dead—her friend died in Oi-ku, killed by the six-eyed demon. The video was recorded.】

Li Gui read the message, and her hand trembled.
