Chapter 397: As the Rising Sun, as the Constant Moon (First Update)
Demon Emperor City is built upon the body of the Phoenix Demon God.
Even while sleeping, the great Phoenix Demon God has never abandoned His people, using His own physical body as a city to create a pure land for them, far from the persecution of the Human Race.
The Phoenix Demon God has not fallen.
This is a story that every member of the Demon Race learns after growing up.
The Demon God did not abandon them; He was merely forced into a deep slumber for some reason.
The Phoenix Demon God has not fallen!
Even though some members of the Demon Race had once raised small doubts:
"If the Phoenix Demon God truly has not fallen, then why does He not wake up early to lead us?"
"Who can prove that He is truly sleeping, and not that He will never wake up again?"
"If this is a scam, are we to hide on this moving city for our entire lives?"
"Is the Phoenix Demon God really..."
Although these small, discordant voices were suppressed, and some small demons who raised questions disappeared without a trace.
They could not solve the problems, but they could solve the people who raised them...
But even so, paper cannot wrap up fire; even if that doubt was no longer spoken aloud, it still existed in the hearts of many in the Demon Race.
"Has the Phoenix Demon God really not fallen?"
Some small demons who had never been to Demon Emperor City might take this as the truth, but those Great Demons who had achieved success in their cultivation lived on Demon Emperor City and knew more details.
They had never felt the aura of the Demon God, nor had they felt the pressure of the Demon God even once...
They could not help but doubt in their hearts, yet they dared not ponder or investigate deeply.
Because they were afraid of obtaining the answer.
If the truth was not what they thought it was, then wouldn't that be...
Since that was the case, then they would stop thinking.
As long as they covered their heads, they could continue to immerse themselves in this illusion.
But now, there is no longer any need to pretend that they know nothing.
All those past anxieties and worries will become things of the past!
Because the tremor from just a moment ago has already provided the answer.
The Phoenix Demon God has not fallen.
At the very moment the heart of the Phoenix Demon God beat, they clearly felt that incomparable, terrifying pressure.
A Supreme majesty as brilliant as the sun in Heaven.
It clearly possessed the power to sweep away all evil miasma in the heavens, yet it did not harm the innocent; it was scorching yet restrained.
The moment they felt this aura, countless Great Demons were moved to tears, unable to control their excitement.
"The Phoenix Demon God is still alive, He has not fallen!!!"
"The Demon God is still protecting our Demon Race!!!"
They were dazed and lost their composure, finally bursting into laughter.
For such good news, how long had they waited?
Too long.
Since the Demon Gods departed, it has truly been too long.
So long that they had almost forgotten how to lift their heads and gaze at the existence in the high Heaven.
But now, they have recalled this feeling once again.
"..."
Regarding the changes in the entire Demon Emperor City, Huang Huang, as the contemporary Demon Emperor, felt them most clearly.
Huang Huang was somewhat dazed.
It was not because these people favored Ren Yidao more than her; Huang Huang did not care about such things.
It was because of their transformation.
Demon Emperor City, which in her eyes was already beyond cure and had turned into a dead city, was now erupting with such intense vitality.
"So... was this all that was needed?"
Just needing to make the heart of the Phoenix Demon God beat once?
Is it that simple?
Could Huang Huang do it?
Of course she could.
Huang Huang could make Demon Emperor City move according to her will, so how could she be unable to control His physical body?
However, she had never thought to use it that way.
Not even once.
As long as Huang Huang wished, she could make the heart of the Phoenix Demon God beat for all twelve hours of the day.
Because in her view, such behavior was completely meaningless, aside from wasting a massive amount of precious power.
But looking at it now, Huang Huang was wrong.
"Perhaps, it really is as he said; I do not understand them..."
These fellows, what they needed was not just a city that could guarantee their safety.
It was... hope.
Whether the Phoenix Demon God has truly not fallen is actually not important.
As long as they can be made to believe the fact that "The Phoenix Demon God has not fallen!", that is enough.
The Demon Race has been suppressed by the Human Race for too long, so long that they are almost losing the confidence to counterattack.
What they need is an inspiration to help them regain their former faith.
Huang Huang is silent; she seems to understand a little.
And while she is thinking, the changes in the outside world are still proceeding fervently.
At this moment, all the Great Demons lift their heads, gazing at that slender figure soaring into the sky.
The gorgeous Nishang Feather Garment is draped over him, not appearing effeminate in the slightest, but instead dignified and fitting.
The youth treads barefoot on the void, eyes slightly narrowed, with two enormous phantoms emerging behind him.
One is a Red Fox, one is a Phoenix.
The Phoenix phantom flaps its wings and flies out from behind the youth; as the wings beat, they scatter boundless golden light over his head, which falls upon his body.
His slightly narrowed eyes slowly open, and a blinding radiance erupts from them.
At the same time, the scorching sun in the sky seems to be echoing him, suddenly becoming even hotter, and the entire Demon Emperor City feels the change in temperature.
As the sunlight falls, the youth's body shines with a dazzling, brilliant golden light.
Like the rising sun!
Such a scene, so dazzling, is enough to make everyone who once doubted the Crown Prince's identity honestly shut their mouths.
But, this is not the end.
At this moment, the Red Fox phantom behind Ren Yidao also undergoes a change!
While the Phoenix phantom circles in the sky, the Red Fox raises its head, unwilling to be outdone, and lets out a long howl toward the boundless Heaven.
Then, its coat of crimson fur rapidly fades at this moment, and in just a few breaths, it turns snow-white before everyone's eyes.
The tails behind it also gradually change, finally becoming nine silver-white Fox Tails.
At the same time, an astonishing transformation also appears in the sky.
The bright moon, which was originally hidden under the majesty of the scorching sun, suddenly lights up without showing any weakness.
Moonlight descends from the full moon, turning into a faint, illusory gauze garment that covers the Nishang Feather Garment.
The aura on the youth's body also changes abruptly, no longer as scorching and wild as before, but turning gentle and peaceful instead.
Like the constant moon!
"... Heh."
Ren Yidao stands above the firmament, looking down at Demon Emperor City.
Just like that day, he stood ten thousand feet high, receiving the gazes of the prodigies beneath his feet.
And this time, he still stands in the firmament, but the people beneath his feet have been replaced by a new batch.
The demons gaze at him with fanatical eyes, then slowly bow their heads.
The sun and moon are in the sky together, reflecting each other's brilliance.
Under such a celestial phenomenon, who knows how many of the Demon Race are lost in a daze.
They stare with wide, shocked eyes, unable to help but rub them, thinking they are seeing a daydream.
"Seven, eight, nine, nine-tailed white fox... This! This is the Heavenly Fox Demon God!"
Never has there been such a moment that made them feel so bewildered.
Huh?
Isn't he the Phoenix Divine Son!!?
