Chapter 93: Judgment Goes Down
Immediately after the battle, the seven fallen angels cordoned off Lucifer's entire palace, and in addition to the box containing the peace agreement, they also found Lucifer's severed hands with white gloves.
Samuel was pleasantly surprised to see that Lucifer's remaining remains were not as sad as the others: "What a blessing in misfortune that they have forgotten Lucifer's magic hands!" ”
The seven of them looked at each other as if they understood something, and Arid suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I said that Lucifer would definitely leave a way back for himself, and sure enough!" ”
"Yes, it must be. How could he be willing to abandon us! Kamel also took Are's words, and there was a bit of joy in his words.
"Samuel, are you telling the truth? Can Lucifer come back to us again? As if he had seen hope again, he looked at Samuel with expectant eyes.
"It's a possibility, if Lucifer had been wiped out, but now that we've found his hands, maybe that's the hope of his rebirth. Do you remember the tree in Lucifer's apse? ”
"Ahh So that's it! Using the wisdom of his mind, Ariel understood at once what Samuel meant.
"What the hell is that?" Shaliye asked hurriedly.
"That tree is a branch cut off from the tree of life in the Garden of Eden before Lucifer fell into the underworld, it was originally used to heal the fallen angels and demons in the underworld in case of emergency, he planted it in the palace and irrigated it with his own mana and blood, and over time the tree had the effect of the tree of life, the sap in the trunk can not only be used to heal wounds, but also bear devil fruits on the tree, because red blood will flow from the trunk Lucifer gave it the name of the Demon Blood Tree." Samuel patted Shalier on the shoulder and explained.
"Devil fruits? What's that? How come I've never heard of it? "Ariel held his chin in one hand and thought seriously, something that even he, an angel with boundless intelligence, had never heard of, it should be unusual!
"That was after Lucifer came to the underworld, and of course you haven't heard of it. Producing a Devil Fruit is equivalent to giving birth to a new Demon, which is quite mana-intensive, and the tree has not yet grown to the age of producing fruit, and even the flowers have not yet bloomed. ”
"Wait, Samuel! You're not going to mean to say ...... Let this tree bear Devil Fruits...... Lucifer was resurrected, right? Ariel had a bold conjecture, and when he said it, he had only heard that the tree of life in the Garden of Eden could give birth to life, but he did not expect that a small branch cut from this tree would have such great power to raise the dead.
"I don't know what the end result will be, but we can give it a try. Since this Blood Dragon Tree was cultivated by his heart's work, his remains must be compatible with this tree. Samuel unleashed his mana, picked up Lucifer's severed hands, and walked to the apse first.
"Lucifer wrote all the suicide notes before, and he expected that he would die, can you still save him?" Zler, who had not spoken, had something to say at this time.
"Zler, are you going to betray Lucifer?" The impulsive Carmel grabbed Zler by the collar, and anyone who moved again could immediately start a fight.
"Betrayal? I am the one he trusts the most! This is a suicide note that Lucifer himself gave me to take out after his death, and you don't want to hear what he has to say? Zler opened Carmel's hand and took out a roll of parchment from his bosom, and with a flick of Lucifer's suicide note, it was clearly displayed to the other six fallen angels.
"Look closely, it's not Lucifer's handwriting! Even he himself admits that he is perished forever, what are you still tossing? Ziler curled his lips and threw the parchment among the fallen angels, and he retreated to the pillar behind him. He had already read the contents of this parchment, and Lucifer's death was inevitable and his own choice, and he did not mention himself except for letting the Seven Great Fallen Angels take over the underworld.
"The underworld can't live without Lucifer, although we now have this peace agreement with the divine realm, he has made sacrifices for the underworld, and we can't afford to lose him." After reading the parchment, Samuel's determination to bring Lucifer back to life was even stronger. In terms of prestige, Samuel was the highest of the seven fallen angels, and several of the other fallen angels did not hesitate to follow him to the apse, except for Zler.
"Wait for the tree to blossom and bear fruit? A bunch of fools, I'm not going to be with you! Zler walked in the opposite direction from them, and in his heart he didn't want Lucifer to come back to life, and he didn't want to see Shalier return to the man's arms again.
"Zler, you don't have to help, but you have to stay here now!" This time it was Shaliye who stepped forward to stop her, how could she just let Zler out like this, and if she went out and leaked the news of Lucifer's death, the underworld would only be a mess.
"Shaliye, the last person who should stop me is you!" Zler already had anger in his heart, but he forced it down in the face of his beloved.
"I beg you, Zler, to stay in Lucifer's palace for the time being." Shaliye spoke in a pleading tone, Lucifer's fall had already made her heart miserable, and she had no more energy to convince Zler.
Zler relented for a moment and agreed to stay in the palace, except for him, the other six fallen angels stayed by the dragon's blood tree day and night, they buried Lucifer's severed hand in the trunk, and used their mana to the limit to make the still very young dragon's blood tree grow, after their unremitting efforts, the dragon's blood tree finally quickly grew into a towering tree and bloomed a black lantern-shaped flower. After that, they couldn't predict it, they could only wait, wait for the black flower to bear fruit.
It was a month after the seven fallen angels came out of the palace again, and what happened on the wedding day became a mystery in the underworld, none of them mentioned what happened to Lucifer, they only told the people of the underworld that Lucifer and the cloaked man left together and came back for a long time, and then Zler read Lucifer's parchment in front of the demons, and the seven fallen angels became the new rulers of the underworld, and the demons gradually stopped talking about Lucifer's whereabouts.
About a hundred years later, when Samuel thought it was impossible for the black flower to bear a Devil Fruit, a miracle happened. Overnight, the lantern flower turned into a silvery oval fruit, ripening and falling, and when the six fallen angels brought back the devil fruit like the stars holding the moon, it happened again to disappoint them. The four-legged wildebeest not only had a pair of purple wings but also had the head of a white wolf, and it had no resemblance to Lucifer.
"Can anyone tell me which clan of demons this is?" Ariael was holding a wildebeest beast that was only two palms in his hand and broke out in a cold sweat, not to say that Lucifer was reborn, how could this be mutated?
"Did you say it was Lucifer?" How do you think it doesn't look like it, Lucifer is also an angel anyway, and rebirth should also have an angel form, he swallowed his saliva and turned his head to ask Samuel.
"If you can't say it, let's observe and see if this little guy will change in the future." This little devil and Lucifer are simply 108,000 miles apart, and Samuel is not very sure. Several fallen angels didn't know what to do, and finally Shariyah offered to take the wildebeest beast in the Devil Fruit with him and raise it, so a little demon was born in Shariyah's palace, her name was Inuma, and she became the new focus of the underworld because her background was a mystery in the underworld.
Later, like other demons, the dogs and horses began to advance to higher levels, and on the day when the fallen angels waited for a thousand years and the dogs and horses advanced to the sixth-level demons, they finally saw a little Lucifer's shadow on it, and the similar face and the same hair color all hinted at the connection between the dogs and Lucifer. But things are always dramatic, after reaching the sixth level, the dog and horse can no longer continue to advance, and the sixth level has been stagnant for five hundred years, and the fallen angels have begun to be anxious again, if you don't use external forces, then this dog and horse can only be a high and low demon, and then Ariel rummaged through all the classics of the gods and demons, and finally researched a feasible method - using the spirit of light.
――――――――――――――――――――――
Sha Liye hid this period of history and background in the underworld when telling this story to Yu Qingyan, so the version Yu Qingyan heard was just a story about a woman who was retaliated against by the enemy at the wedding ceremony and lost her husband, and Gong Yeqi was obviously a widow.
"Madame must have suffered a lot when she brought Gong Yeqi to grow up alone." After listening to this story, Yu Qingyan had a little more admiration for Sha Liye, thinking that she was a woman who supported the entire palace family and strengthened the palace family to this day, which required not only courage and courage, but also a tenacious heart.
"I didn't feel that bitter, the only thing that made me suffer was what happened that day, although so many years have passed, it appears in front of my eyes every day." Because Gong Yeqi's face is becoming more and more similar to Lucifer, Shaliye will think of him whenever she sees her.
"Please also ask Madame to look away, after all, the past has to be over, we have to look forward." Maybe it's a bit redundant to say such comforting words, but Yu Qingyan still said that the people of their palace family seem to have inherited a melancholy character like a mist, which is not a good thing.
"Does Miss Yu believe in the afterlife?" Sha Liye turned around and looked at Yu Qingyan fixedly, she couldn't see through this seemingly weak human on the outside, and at the same time, in front of her, Sha Liye couldn't understand what kind of emotions she had for Gong Yeqi, maternal love or mixed with something else?
"I believe in the afterlife, and I also believe that the world we see is not the only world, and that there must be other completely different worlds in places that we do not know." Shaliye's question reminded Yu Qingyan of the Grim Reaper she had seen, and her bizarre past made her answer without question.
"Miss Yu's vision and heart are not as big as ordinary people."
"It's just that I've experienced some of it, and I'm just talking about my true feelings."
"Could it be that Miss Yu has encountered something bizarre? Can you tell us about it? Shaliye immediately grasped the point, and sure enough, this woman had something worth excavating. Yu Qingyan didn't want to think back to those terrible pasts, and frowned and pursed his lips after listening to Shaliye's words. But Shaliye wanted to know very much about what happened to her, so he spoke again: "I trust Miss Yu to tell me all about my personal experience, don't you trust me?" ”
Yu Qingyan raised her head slowly, there was a soft light behind Sha Liye, and there was an irresistible smile on her face, as if she had magical power, and she spoke: "I was once haunted by death...... Therefore, I believe that the theory of ghosts and gods is not nothing. ”
"I see, it must be a painful memory." Sha Liye was very surprised in her heart, but she still remained unfazed on her face, she caught an important clue in Yu Qingyan, maybe her doubts could be solved soon.
"You're the second person to hear me tell me this secret and not think I'm insane." Yu Qingyan said helplessly.
"Just like you said, the ghosts and gods are not nothing, not to mention that I have experienced something even more incredible than yours." Shaliye was so secretive that the conversation between the two of them ended here.
