Chapter 702: I Have Half Human Blood, Do You Believe It?
Outside the ancient Dragon City, the Demon Emperor wore a light‑yellow robe, exposing a slender waist; when Jiang Chen returned, the Demon Emperor flashed a dazzling smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied with the Demon Emperor's sincerity?"
Jiang Chen said, "Is there anyone else?"
"Guess?" the Demon Emperor smiled faintly,
Jiang Chen stared into her eyes, unable to read her thoughts. The Demon Emperor's mind is deep and cannot be judged from the surface.
Jiang Chen nodded, "Alright, I've temporarily received your sincerity; tell me your specific cooperation plan."
The Demon Emperor smiled and said, "There are some things you might not believe when I tell you. I would like to invite you to be a guest at my Demon Emperor Palace, where we can discuss in detail."
Jiang Chen instantly became wary again; the Demon Emperor Palace is the Demon Emperor's domain, located at the core of the Abyss.
Going there oneself is no different from a lamb entering a tiger's mouth, a thousand miles delivering one's head.
The Demon Emperor naturally understood Jiang Chen's concerns, "Some things are best seen with one's own eyes; as for safety, you can ask the elders. As long as the elders are present, I dare not harm you."
Jiang Chen contemplated various possibilities in his mind while communicating with Antares, "Antares, will there be danger for me in the Demon Emperor Palace?" "No."
Jiang Chen quickly received Antares's affirmative reply.
Jiang Chen also wanted to clarify why the Demon Emperor suddenly came forward this morning and presented such a grand gift.
Most crucially, he also wanted to know whether there are still members of the Cult of the Demon secretly infiltrated within the Human Race.
Especially within the upper core; if there are even one or two people, the threat they pose to the Human Race and the Shenlong Empire could surpass that of the tens of thousands who just committed suicide.
If it were unknown, it would be fine, but now that it is known, it cannot be ignored.
With Antares's definite answer, Jiang Chen
felt assured in his heart, "Alright, I'll go with you."
The Demon Emperor produced an exquisite demon stone.
Jiang Chen was slightly startled; this demon stone was the most advanced of all demon stones he had ever seen, and it even contained the aura of a law.
The demon stone was activated, and a Space-time Portal appeared before the Demon Emperor.
"Divine General Lin, please."
For the first time, the Demon Emperor addressed Jiang Chen with the Human Race's honorific, as a sign of her respect.
At this moment, the Demon Emperor placed Jiang Chen on an equal footing with herself.
It also indirectly demonstrated her sincerity.
Jiang Chen entered the Space-time Portal with confidence.
After a long‑distance transmission, before his vision recovered, Jiang Chen felt the familiar Abyssal Aura.
The aura was extremely dense, sweeping in from all directions and colliding with his body. His body felt slightly uncomfortable; the Abyssal Aura clashed with his own aura.
It seemed to convey the eternal, irreconcilable hatred between the Human Race and the Abyss. When his vision returned, Jiang Chen saw black‑green flames, the nearly black Abyssal Fire.
He was already inside the Demon Emperor Palace, but strangely, the palace was not as he imagined,
It lacked the ferocious decorations and any demonic traits. It was exquisite; whether the seats, pillars, or furnishings, they were about seventy to eighty percent similar to those of the Human Race.
Without the gloom brought by the Abyssal Fire, this place would resemble a Human Race palace.
"Doesn't it feel strange?"
The voice from the demon realm echoed through the palace, melodious and somewhat ethereal. Jiang Chen looked at the Demon Emperor, still dressed in a Human Race robe and exposing a slender waist, and said, "You can now restore your original form."
The Demon Emperor walked past Jiang Chen, then sat
onto her own throne, looking a bit lazy, "This is the Demon Emperor's original appearance."
Huh…
Jiang Chen clearly didn't believe it.
The Demon Emperor smiled, "I have half Human Race blood."
Jiang Chen was at a loss for words; it's not like he would speak nonsense. "You, a grand Demon Emperor, claiming half Human Race blood—what a sham." Jiang Chen felt the Demon Emperor was treating him like a fool, frowned, and said, "That joke isn't funny."
The Demon Emperor shook her head, "I truly have half Human Race blood, but not the Human Race blood of your world."
"Moreover, I can tell you that I have never personally killed a member of the Human Race."
"If you don't believe it, you can ask the elders."
Jiang Chen naturally wouldn't believe it, and immediately communicated with Antares, "Is she telling the truth?"
Antares quickly gave Jiang Chen an answer, leaving Jiang Chen somewhat unable to believe it.
The mighty Demon Emperor, who has led Abyss Demons against the Human Race for a thousand years, has never killed a single Human, and herself possesses half Human Race blood.
This is truly a colossal joke.
This secret is too astonishing,
Jiang Chen also understood why the other side told him this, not fearing that he would spread it,
If this were spoken out, who would believe it,
Moreover, with the Demon Emperor's power, which Abyss Demon in the entire Abyss would dare to doubt, unless they wish to die.
Jiang Chen, with his extraordinary receptivity, quickly digested all the information and said, "Your story must be quite fascinating."
The Demon Emperor sighed softly, "Regarding the origins of our Abyss and the Dragon Race, the elders should have already told you."
"Our Abyss demons belong to the Demon clan, but we are merely low‑level demons, the lowest tier within the Demon clan."
"And
the Abyss World is merely a fragmentary world."
While speaking, the Demon Emperor pointed her finger toward the ceiling of the Demon Emperor Palace.
A layer of Barrier projected down, forming a series of images.
The images depicted the cosmic starry sky, the sun, moon, and stars, carrying the aura of azure blossoms.
They recorded the passage of time.
Two specks of light, one ahead of the other, flew from the pitch‑black cosmic starry sky.
It fell outside a world, then adhered to the world.
Each light point is only one‑fifth the size of the world, appearing as if the world had sprouted a pair of horns.
The places where these horns connect with the world form a special region.
Jiang Chen saw the scene, listened to the Demon Emperor's explanation, and realized the two light points were the Abyss World and the Dragon Realm.
The special region formed at the connection is the Primordial Battlefield.
The Abyss World and the Dragon Realm are merely fragment worlds, not whole worlds; together they are still less than half of a true world.
The Demon Emperor's voice resonated softly, "We came here along with the fragment world, bearing a mission."
"The mission is to annihilate the living beings in the world; no matter what beings they are, they must be eradicated."
"At that time I was also in a fragment world; then I was only a small Demon, not yet strong enough."
"When I saw that the living beings of this world were of the Human Race, I could not stop the other powerful Demons, so I could only choose not to act."
"Later I grew stronger, became the Demon Emperor, took command of this fragment world, yet I still lacked the power to stop it."
"This Abyss fragment world is a portion that broke away from the Abyss Main World, and can be reclaimed at any time. And my strength, in the Abyss Main World, is nothing special."
"If I were to do something that defies
the Abyss, the only fate awaiting me is death."
"Moreover, the destruction of living beings is a will engraved in the Abyss Demon Bloodline, already an instinct that cannot be erased."
Jiang Chen listened to the Demon Emperor's account, seemed to understand some matters. He had become completely calm, and analyzed, "In the world outside, are the Human Race and the Demons of the Abyss Main World also at war?"
The Demon Emperor shook his head, "I don't know; I have lived in a fragment world since birth, and am unclear about external affairs."
"But I have memories in my Bloodline, knowing that I possess half Human Race Bloodline. So I have always hidden myself, very cautiously."
"Also, fortunately I was born in a fragment world; demons like us, mere cannon fodder worse than soldiers, are never valued. If we were in the Main World, I would surely be executed early."
"If one day the fragment world returns to the Main World, I am inevitably doomed to death."
