"Demon Tribulation?! It's really unheard of! Even if you say it, I still feel incredible! ”

"The Heavenly Destiny Vein you are carrying is actually a hidden symptom that appears after the fusion of the Demon Race and the Human Fetus - it is an important evidence of the existence of the Demon Tribulation in your body," Miusi Yuga further explained, "The Dark Demon God King is deeply aware of the fatal wounds of this Demon Tribulation on your body, so he is not worried that you will pose any threat to him, and the Demon King also saw that your adulthood was coming, so he chose this time to launch a full-scale attack on the human world - otherwise, why would the Dark Demon God King, who has no last resort, wait until this time, Alone let you grow stronger step by step and become an obstacle to him? Instead of completely eradicating your threat when you're just starting out? ”

"It's really unpleasant to announce that your death is coming from someone else......" I said with a wry smile, "Fate really plays tricks on people......

Death has approached me again and again, but I have been defeated again and again, but in the end, the persevering Death still used his cold soul scythe to tell me that my efforts and struggles in the past were all in vain...... Everything was just a joke played by fate and me—because my death was already predestined......

And Miusie Yuga didn't seem to care about my feelings at this time, and said to himself: "The Dark Demon God King has always had two attitudes towards you: one is that if you can be used by him, he will help you overcome the bottleneck of your life and conquer the human world for him as a demon prince; The second is that if you become an untamed pawn, you will die a natural death...... In the end, he chose the second option, so that he didn't even have to stain your blood with his own hands. Son? Name—Absolutely meticulous calculations and thoughts, absolutely ruthless and heroic—this is the Dark Demon King! ”

Miusi Yuga suddenly changed his words and said, "However, the Dark Demon God King still miscalculated—he didn't expect that after I returned to the human world, I would restore my humanity by my own strength and have the free will that he once took away!" He thought I would be under his absolute domination like the other demons...... And I will give him the greatest surprise in my own way, in return for his grace in enslaving me like a walking dead all these years! I have prepared a fateful gamble for the Demon King - in this gamble on the fate of the Three Realms, see who is the ultimate winner! ”

"Excuse me, what is the confrontation you will choose? What are you talking about? I interjected, knowing that he had already left the back to deal with the Demon King, after all, someone as proud as Miuse Yuga would never want to be at the mercy of others, even if that person was the Dark Demon God King! And in this respect, how similar I am to Muse Yuga! Besides, I also knew that he had taken such great pains to lure me into the barbarians, and that I must have been a very important part of his plan! All the mysteries are waiting for Miusi Yuga to uncover for me today......

"You can still be so calm when you know your death...... What an admirable imperial style, worthy of Alexander the Great! Miusi Yuga approvingly, a rare smile appeared on his face, and then his face was solemn, and he said, "This gamble is your life and death!" And I'm betting all my chips on you! If you are born, I will win! If you die, I will lose! ”

"Why do you think I'm willing to gamble my life and death on your own?" I said coldly.

"Because you don't have a choice—it's a gamble that both you and I must be in!" Miusi Yuga's unquestioning voice said, "I know you—for you and I are both men who do not want to submit to fate!" You must fight for your survival, for your loved ones and for your empire! ”

"Do you think you have a way to help me overcome the bottleneck of my life?" I said disapprovingly.

When Miusi Yuga heard this, he said a little proudly: "Alec! Don't forget—I've been in the Demon Realm and by the Demon King's side for quite some time, and I've worked the life forms of the Demon Race! Moreover, I am also a demonic human being, and I also have the power of demons - the kind of demonic energy that can help you break through the bottleneck of life! Although the demonic qi in my body has become impure due to the mixture of human life qi, as one of the eight demon god generals of the demon race, this demonic qi that I possess is still quite powerful, if combined with a specific time and place - the place where the demonic qi gathers and the night of the eclipse when the power of the demon realm overflows the Three Realms, I am confident that I have a hope of success close to fifty percent! ”

"Are you willing to gamble everything for the sake of a 50% success rate? Including your life! I squinted my eyes and said. Although I was not surprised by the gambler personality of the "God of War of the Southern Continent" - after all, he was a peerless general who once led a large army to dominate the world, and the so-called war is a game of life and death and victory and defeat, I still felt a lot of shock.

"I don't have a choice!" Miusi Yuga's resolute voice said word by word, the expression on his face was resolute and unshakable, "When I made such a choice, I knew that I had embarked on a road of no return, and I could only bet my life on this only fifty percent chance of winning without hesitation, and I even ignored the love of father and daughter, and forced Lan'er to give up everything around me to see me in the desert - it is precisely because I have mastered the secret code of your life that my beloved daughter has to accept my conditions, disappear from you, and then be coerced by me to make you go deep into the wilderness alone!" What do you think in the world can beat her love for you and let her leave you without saying a word? That's your life! ”

Speaking of this, Miusi Yuga turned his back and stood with his hands guarded, as if relieved, and continued: "The third and most critical thing I explained in my letter to Lan'er at that time was to point out that you are facing the crisis of the 'Demon Tribulation', and I am the only one who can save you!" As your wife, as the closest person to you, of course, she understands all the changes that have taken place in you in recent years - your strength has grown to an astonishing point in less than a year, which is unreasonable, and 'the extreme must be broken' is the ancient truth, although she is worried that your body will not be able to withstand too much strength, but she can only put it in her heart and dare not show this worry...... And those changes are the harbingers of your demonic energy and the bottleneck of your life is about to appear! When I put all this in front of her, she had to believe and accept my mercy, and did not hesitate to sacrifice your love with her to cooperate with my deployment and actions! Ay...... This is my infatuated daughter, a silly girl who lives only to love you! By doing this, she is a manifestation of her love for you to the extreme! ”

Miusi Yuga turned abruptly, stared at me with a fiery gaze, and emphasized again in cold words: "I have no choice but to decide to fight on my back!" And you...... Again, there is no choice! ”

※※※※※

It was late at night when I left the secret room, and the words of Miusi Yuga still echoed in my head, and it was difficult for me to calm down for a while...... After an open and honest meeting with Yuga, some things were clarified, and some things became more confusing.

When I returned to the apartment, Binglan was in the courtyard looking forward to my return with a worried face, and before Binglan could inquire, I had already made a reassuring smile and said, "Don't worry, the misunderstanding between me and my father-in-law has been resolved, and we will get along well in the future!" ”

"The father...... I've already told you about the 'Demon Tribulation'? Binglan then asked, she still couldn't let go of everything.

"Hmm......" I nodded.

"So...... Have you decided to accept your father's arrangement and adopt the method of 'reversing the destiny of heaven'? ”

"Yes......"

"But if it doesn't work out......"

"Don't worry! I'll be fine! And I've brushed shoulders with death countless times – and this time will be no exception! I smiled and stretched out my hand to wrap Binglan into my arms, and said comfortingly, "And that's the only way......

"Alex, you promised me that you would come back alive no matter what!" Binglan buried the head in my arms, inhaling the breath from me, as if trying to get some kind of reassurance from me to make her settle

"Definitely!" I gazed affectionately at the woman in my arms, and softly told me a promise that even I didn't have confidence in, "Lan'er, you have to give me the same guarantee!" ”

Binglan nodded violently, but wept silently in my arms......

The purple orange trees in the courtyard are still stubbornly blooming with purple flowers that are about to wither in this season, and a gust of autumn wind passes, and the purple flowers of the fallen trees are scattered colorfully, and finally disappear into the blue moonlight, like the afterglow of some kind of sad blues dance music......

My beloved Lan'er! My body and mind, my soul, will always be in the place where you are, until the earth is desolate...... I made a secret promise in my heart.

※※※※※

Two days later, Miusi Yuga made another appointment with me, but this time it was no longer a separate meeting—Binglan, Aaronshi, Shuya, Drink, Gartha, and Deyisi were also present.

I have told the women about what has happened these days, but none of them have reduced their feelings and trust in me because of my demon status, on the contrary, they pay more attention to my mood and feelings.

As the high priest of the Jialan Temple, Aaronshi, who has always held the belief in fighting against the demons and the messenger of the gods in his life, said without hesitation: "Alex, the identity of gods and demons no longer has any meaning! In Aaron's heart, you have always been the man named 'Alex'—a frivolous child who teased me when I was a girl, a man who tried to grow up and matured domineeringly and took my heart and occupied her, a star king who embraced the world and was determined to liberate all mankind and bring the Three Realms to a peaceful future, a god in my heart that Aaronshi was determined to follow and serve all his life! ”

"For me, a beautiful woman from another world," Xiuya patted her chest and said a little unashamedly, "What kind of people, gods, demons...... I've never understood the difference! Racial equality is the most common perception in our world! And for the people of your world to insist on making a distinction, I think it is the most ridiculous and ridiculous thing in the world! ”

"Our relationship is not determined by 'love' at the beginning, but first from the level of national and political interests to establish the concept of husband and wife's identity, and then after a long time of getting along and experiencing all kinds of trials and tribulations and trials together, we slowly understand each other, establish a cognition of each other, and finally bloom the most beautiful flower of love, to achieve the integration and union of spirit and flesh...... After so much to get the true affection, nothing is enough to shake! I believe that Vivian, who has come over like me and has a similar spiritual transformation and mental journey, will definitely have the same thoughts as me! Gartha Ruri said in a firm voice.

"You are the husband chosen for me by the moon god, and the only sky and earth for Deyis. Whether you are the sun in the light or the moon in the darkness, you are always the light source and the world I follow! This is the simple mind and clear insistence of Deyisi, pure but unreserved love.

The vampire girl clapped her hands and said happily: "Mr. pervert, you are a demon, I am a ghost, and we happen to be called 'devils'!" It seems that it is a special arrangement of the god of fate to form a devil's alliance! ”

At this time, Drink, who is known as the "devil's great discovery", is looking Miuse Yuga up and down with the eyes of a "curious baby", as if he wants to discover something new from this legend.

"Your Excellency the God of War of the Southern Continent, may I ask if you specially convened us, do you have any orders?" Drinker squinted at Miussie Yuga and said.

Being watched by the cute vampire girl with the gaze of a "research test subject", even the "God of War of the Southern Continent" couldn't help but feel a little creepy, shivering all over, and it seemed that even cold sweat was oozing out......

"Ahem...... "Miusi Yuga coughed lightly before saying, "I called you here, I wanted to discuss with you the current situation in the Holy Continent, the crisis and countermeasures of the Faratis Empire...... All of you here are important figures and important nucleus of the empire, and will shape the future pattern. ”

I can understand what my father-in-law means - the importance of me and Binglan is undoubted, and Aaron's poem represents the power of faith, although she has been expelled from the Jialan Temple by Christfan, her status in the temple is second only to the Holy Maiden, and she is the true heir to the status of the Holy Maiden, as long as she ascends to the heights, at least half of the power of the Jialan Temple will rebel against her, and a large part of the believers of the Temple in the Aliens Empire will also be converted, thus weakening Krismfan's strength to the greatest extent.

Xiuya's Sakura Hui family is the largest commercial family on the mainland, gathering the largest wealth in the whole continent, and will become the most solid economic backing for the empire and the entire human world in the future battle for hegemony between humans and demons. If the empire wants to win the future war, which is related to the fate of all mankind, the support of the Sakura Hui family is indispensable.

The immortality and unbounded combat power of Drinker and her vampire people is something that even the gods and demons fear and will surely become their nightmare. Moreover, the vampire clan's unreserved support for the empire also has far-reaching political significance - the vampire clan is an ancient race that was born at the same time as humans but is incompatible, but now it coexists peacefully with humans and fights side by side, which will make the various races that honor the banner of the "Holy King" more closely rally around the empire, and will also stir up ripples like a boulder in the races that have always been attached to the gods or demons (such as the god race, the ghost race, the Gandapo clan, the ninja clan, the shadow clan, etc.), making them rethink their position - Do you live forever as slaves to gods and demons, in humiliation, or do you stand up like humans and vampires and fight for your dignity and independence?

And Garsha Ruri and Vivien, who was on an expedition to the southwest at this time, were the princess of the elven clan and the princess and the sole legitimate heir of the kingdom of Dotir, respectively, and their huge influence was obvious; Deys, a descendant of the goddess of the moon, represents another irresonant voice and power among the gods—declaring to the world that there are also gods who are willing to live with humans, to seek equality and peaceful coexistence with humans, rather than blindly looking down on humans......

As far as I could see, I just said lightly: "I want to hear it!" ”

Miusi Yuga smiled and said, "The empire is surrounded by the demon alliance army, the empire has become the last position of the human race and all races on the continent, and the most important thing at the moment is to break through the bottleneck of life for Alex!" I believe that we have reached a consensus on this issue...... I will devote all my energy to the matter of 'reversing the destiny' of Alec, and before that, I have some things to explain to you, and I will also propose to discuss with you......"

"Father......" Binglan couldn't help but exclaim, but the look on her face became extremely sad, and I immediately understood Binglan's thoughts: because Miusi Yuga's words were a bit of an explanation of the future, he knew that the success rate of the "reversal of the mandate of heaven" method he was going to carry out for me was not high, and even if he succeeded, he might have to pay the price of his life, which can be said to be unpredictable - one is her beloved husband, and the other is her beloved father, And how could the two most important men in her life not be exhausted when they were about to throw themselves into a life-threatening gamble?

Miussie Yuga waved his hand and said with an attitude of disregard for life and death: "My life was picked up - I have earned it to live until now!" When I was young, I had one of the most beautiful memories with Kira, and I also had a great reputation on the battlefield; To be able to reunite with my beloved daughter and ideal son-in-law in my last years...... The god of fate is so kind to me! What am I not satisfied with? And I can still use my body to do something for humanity and realize the last value of my life - what more can I ask for at this point in my life? Lan'er, I'm asking for kindness, you shouldn't feel sorry for me, on the contrary, you should be happy for me! ”

After Miusi Yuga sighed, he continued: "Next, the first question I want to ask is how to deal with the current relationship between the empire and the barbarians—what is your opinion, Alex? ”

"Do you want to adopt a policy of softness?" I thought for a moment and said.

Miusi Yuga shook her head and gave a surprise answer: "No! The situation does not allow you to adopt such a time-consuming and protracted policy! It is necessary to act vigorously and quickly to cut through the chaos and uproot this seed, which may become the source of the Empire's woe! ”

I had expected that Yuga's affection for the barbarians would lead to a gentle approach, but I did not expect him to propose such a drastic approach—and Miusi Yuga then said, "Alex! You must order your army to enter the city of Kashit during the wedding of my sister and Shan Yuluyun, and kill the Eagle Vulture King in one fell swoop, use my influence and your military strength to force the barbarians to surrender, and then reorganize the barbarian army into the imperial army, disarm the barbarians and move to live in the empire, implement the policy of ethnic mixture, completely assimilate them, and then set up the imperial administrative area in the original barbarian settlement, so as to extend the ruling power of the empire to the entire desert - only in this way can the security of the northern frontier of the empire be ensured! ”

"Just do what your father-in-law planned!" I nodded in agreement - it was my established strategy, but for the sake of my father-in-law's face, I wanted to give up this violent method and adopt a gentle posture. However, at the critical moment, Miusi Yuga showed the determination and determination of a generation of famous generals, starting from the interests of the overall situation and not being swayed by emotions - he quite knew that in the current situation, the idealized way of Huai Rou policy would not work, and the attitude of the Eagle Vulture King would eventually lead to the crisis of the empire being attacked by the enemy or the barbarians being wiped out, and the annexation of the barbarians by the empire was the best way to protect the barbarians.

"The second thing," said Miussy Yugar, after a pause to "digest" the previous question, "how to resolve the crisis of the three-way alliance between Shiloe's Papal Army, Sanwen's Dotyr Rebel Army, and Ettiri's Runner-up Army?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other about the question raised by my father-in-law, and I was at a loss for a while—I had seriously thought about and analyzed the solution, but I couldn't come up with a more feasible plan except for dividing my troops to fight such a lose-lose strategy.

"I believe that my father-in-law has already made a plan in his mind and has drawn up a wonderful idea, right?" I faced my father-in-law with a determined smile.

Miussie Yuga bowed slightly: "My method is not a genius, it's just that I know the demons better than you, know some of the secrets of the demons, and just catch their weaknesses!" As you know, these demons such as Ettiria, Beshatu, Slo, Sanwen, and Van Dike are not real demons, but demonized humans, and their essence is still human! As far as I know, the light magic of the Jialan Temple and the holy light magic of the Gods and Gods both have the effect of soul purification, as long as the two join forces to cast spells, they should be able to restore their human nature, especially for the descendants of demons like Shiluo, Sangwen, and Van Dijk, because they are not directly demonized by the demons, the degree of demonic energy and demonization on their bodies is naturally much lower, so the success rate is higher! As long as the demonic energy on the bodies of Shlo, Sangwen, and Van is purified, they will naturally join your camp, and in this way, not only will the threat from the west and south of the empire be eliminated, but the strength of the empire will also be greatly increased! ”

"But," I questioned, "unlike these three, Ettiria and Beshatu are directly demonized humans, and it may be difficult to purify them, and the new 'Imperial Tiger' Iron Rider led by Carlos is the most powerful threat to the Empire at the moment!" Even if the Imperial Army had the strength to defeat the Carlos Army, it would inevitably have to pay a heavy price, thus seriously weakening the Empire's strength in the confrontation with the North! ”

"That's right! Alex, you are thoughtful! Therefore, the bell solver must also tie the bell! Miusi Yuga smiled lightly and approved, but suddenly smiled, and his voice became extremely lonely and embarrassed, "If I coexist with Carlos for an era, I'm afraid even I will be one of his countless defeated men...... He is a famous general among famous generals, and he is the true god of war on the land of Shenglun! A thousand armies are easy to obtain, but a general is hard to find—a rare and famous general like Carlos, who alone is enough to secure half of the country for Etiria, why sell his soul to the devil? Nanzhan Buqi, do you know how far your daughter has fallen? There are empty talents but they don't know how to make good use of them, but they are reduced to giving up the dignity of human beings and the identity of the princess, and are willing to act as puppets and slaves of the demon race...... If you know what to do, I'm afraid it's hard to look at it, right? However, you are only a person of this level, just like you did to me...... The so-called father must have his daughter! Hey......"

The decades-long entanglement of grievances between the first-generation warrior god Miusi Yuga and the mediocre lord Nan Zhanbuqi II is not enough for outsiders to understand, but the desolate voice of Miusi Yuga still reveals a strong resentment and complicated nostalgia that will not be diluted by time......

Miusi Yuga, Likira, and Nanzhan Buqi used to be the best friends in those distant years, and the meeting of three geniuses would have been possible to bring the Faradis Empire to the most glorious peak, but unfortunately, two genius teenagers fell in love with a genius girl at the same time...... So the beauty faded away in sorrow and tears, the famous general turned away in humiliation and resentment, and the emperor indulged in remorse and alcohol—to be carried? When the old lion closed his eyes unwillingly but helplessly, he also brought a great empire that was once powerful but decayed into the grave of history...... The people who once made history are gone, leaving behind only an old man living in endless sighs, and that faint sigh through the past, present, and future......

When Miusi Yuga finally came back to his senses from the complicated remembrance, his voice had become calm: "Even though the entire people and army under the jurisdiction of the Henes regime have all been demonized, it is impossible for Carlos to be affected - the ability of Etiria and Beshatu is not enough to demonize a strong person of the level of Carlos, unless the demon god will be the same as me himself, but among the demons above the demon god general, only I am the demon, and other demons with pure demon blood cannot enter the human world through the infernal force field, And I'm sure they don't have the ability to take Carlos to the junction of humans and demons and send him directly to the realm of demons for demonization - because the realm where I and Beshatu entered back then is located in the territory of the barbarians, and is now under my absolute control! This is also the reason why I asked Alex to go to the Eagle Vulture Country, because the place where humans and demons meet is the most prosperous place for demonic energy in the world, and you can use the demonic energy of the outside world to help Alex break through the bottleneck of life! ”

"Does the god of war mean to plot against Carlos?" At this time, Drinker questioned, "It's just that Carlos is a die-hard character, with his boring personality, even if he is not demonized, it may be difficult to make him rebel against Ettiria!" And at the beginning, Alex also extended an olive branch to Carlos, but Carlos flatly refused! ”

"What the Count says is very true," replied Muse Yuga indifferently, "and yet, here and there! No matter how loyal Carlos was to Ettiria before, and even if that loyalty was mixed with entangled personal feelings, it was no longer a struggle between the Terrans for their own masters, but a battle between the two worlds that depended on the survival or death of mankind - there was a clear divide between them! This is a truth that even ordinary people understand, and I believe that a famous general like Carlos who understands righteousness will not fail to understand the stakes! As a person who has had a similar experience, I can assert that Carlos, no matter how foolish, would never want to be a historical sinner of mankind! ”

Miussie Yuga stared at me before continuing: "Moreover, the lobbyist in my mind is someone who makes Carlos take weight enough! That's you, Alex, King of the Empire, Lord of the Nations! You're the perfect lobbyist! ”

"Mr. Yuga! Are you going to let Alex go into trouble alone and lobby Carlos? Alex, as the emperor, really shouldn't take such a huge risk! Aaronshi exclaimed.

"No! Absolutely not! Xiuya objected fiercely, "Alex and Carlos have met several times on the battlefield, and the two have a deep feud, if Alex appears in front of him without protection like this, it is hard to guarantee that Carlos will not secretly murder him!" It's too dangerous, I absolutely disagree! ”

Although Gasha Ruri and Dai Yisi have different statements, they express the same wishes.

Drinker said a little angrily: "Mr. War, are you a little confused? You dare to even come up with such a bad idea?! ”

Binglan looked at her father, then at me, and then said resolutely as if she had made up her mind: "Father, Alex, let me go!" I have worked together with Carlos for a long time in the Empire, and I know each other well, and I have a friendship with the courtiers and comrades, and I believe that I am more suitable to serve as this emissary than Alex, and I am confident that I can persuade Carlos! Besides, Arlea is all the hope for the future of mankind......"

I immediately grabbed Binglan's hand to stop her from continuing, and said in a firm voice, "Binglan, I won't let you take any more risks for me!" No matter what you say, no matter how good the reason is, I will never agree this time! ”

Miusi Yuga also shook his head and said, "Lan'er, you are not the right person, and besides, your body can't afford to work for thousands of miles......

Speaking of this, he stared at Bing Lan quite meaningfully - under his father's gaze, Bing Lan's originally firm gaze became a little weak, and he didn't dare to look at him, so he hurriedly staggered, his expression was a little flustered for a while, but his face was as crimson as crimson for no reason.

Miusy Yuga retracted his gaze and continued: "Carlos and Alex have fought several times, and have cultivated a sense of sympathy, and it is precisely because Carlos has never really defeated Alex on the battlefield and regards Alex as his only fierce rival in life, so Alex will gain his respect and admiration...... So, only Alex's words had the weight to shake Carlos's heart—in a sense, he was both his worst enemy and his only true trusted and equal friend...... Men are creatures of the desire to fight, especially the kind of men who are called strong, and sometimes they can only truly understand each other on the battlefield of life and death - this is something that women cannot understand...... This is a conversation between two excellent men who appreciate each other, and no one else can go beyond it! ”

"I have faith in Carlos - he is a man of honor, his desire is to defeat me on the battlefield, not through despicable assassinations, and I also have faith in myself!" I gave Binglan a warm smile and said confidently, "According to my father-in-law's plan, I will personally go to see Carlos - this is another form of battlefield between me and Carlos!" ”

The girls reluctantly accepted my decision, and a special meaning flashed in Miusi Yuga's ice eyes, which resembled ice orchids, as if there was some kind of inexplicable pity, and as if there was a deep meaning......

I couldn't catch the deep meaning that flashed in my eyes, and I wanted to explore it carefully, but I was distracted by the vampire girl's sudden words: "Mr. pervert, I'll go with you!" I can be a bat, easy to hide, not to be discovered! ”
