Chapter 373: The Wind Rises
The black mountains, like several giant spiders crawling together, are ominous black mountains, entangled by a dark jungle, containing deep and endless darkness, the creepy vines and monster trees, the mournful howls of birds and beasts, all of which make people daunted, and in the face of this darkness, they are afraid, worried, uneasy, and wandering.
Until the light slowly shone in, it was a huge canyon, a huge light array sealed the entrance of the entire canyon, it looked very solid, and inside was a pure white palace, which looked very desolate.
I don't know how many years the palace has existed is extraordinarily old, the floor and stone walls are extremely solemn, and before I even stepped in, I felt a tremor of the soul, and an inexplicable high pressure penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
But this is not the satanic realm, and the surrounding scene is also a rare thing in the demon world, looking at the dozens of huge statues in front of you, below each statue is a huge tombstone, which is engraved with the name of each generation of demon kings, and this is the forbidden place of the demon world - Demon Eater Ridge.
This is not in any realm, it is outside the seven realms, the ordinary place of residence of the king of the demon world, not only ordinary demons, even the seven demon kings are forbidden to step into the realm, and its location is very secret and there is a shielding enchantment, it is in the demon realm, but no one has ever found it, because only the king of the demon realm can enter, in other words, only by holding the token of the demon king, the seal of the demon king can avoid the shielding enchantment here, and can enter the demon devouring ridge.
"This is the Demon Devouring Ridge, a territory that only the King of the Demon Realm can step into!"
Noah pouted, "You've become the King of the Demon World?"
"No, but soon!" Satan chuckled.
"Why did you bring me here?" Noah asked impatiently as he looked at Satan, "Shouldn't you get me back to continue the transformation?"
"That's true, that's what I thought at first!" Satan sneered, "but now I don't need it, I don't need any powerful tools, because no one can stop me anymore, including you!"
Satan raised his hand, and there was a huge altar in the direction of his finger, and there were seven huge stone pillars around the altar, and the demon kings on the stone pillars were still bound by iron chains, namely the Dhara King, the Blood Demon King, the Rakshasa King, and the Shura King who had just been caught.
Their consciousness is in a deep coma, and they are bound by iron chains, and they can't even feel the breath in their bodies, just like an ordinary person, as if they are dead.
Noah grimaced, and as Satan slowly walked to the altar, Satan smiled playfully.
"One more thing that interests me, I never thought you were a demon god!"
Noah raised her eyebrows and asked with a chuckle, "You want to be a demon god?"
Satan pursed his mouth with his fingers and did not answer directly, but his expression already revealed his thoughts.
"The Demon God is very powerful, but what I Satan wants to be is the overlord who conquers everything, so becoming a Demon God is the first step!"
"It's a pity, I'm not a demon god!" Noah shook her head, "And demon gods are not like this, do you think there are only a few demon gods in the world?"
"The seventy-two pillars of the Demon God Altar, plus the King of the Demon God, that's seventy-three!" Satan sneered and stared at Noah, "You can cast the spell that the Demon God can do!"
"That's just my luck!" Noah shrugged.
"Not everyone can learn the Heavenly Punishment Style!" Satan replied with an affirmative face: "I'm starting to doubt your identity a little, on the surface you are a god, in addition to being a god, you are also like a demon god, and at the same time you have the true identity of the East Dragon?"
Noah raised an eyebrow and looked up into Satan's eyes.
"I'm not like everyone else, I'm not interested in dragons!" Satan said with a blank face, "I don't want to listen to those legends that need to be completed, but if you do have them, it's worth seeing, but I still hope to be able to do it with my own hands!"
"In other words, you just want to be a demon god now?"
"If you'll tell me!" Satan chuckled, "but even if you don't tell me, it's okay, I can get it on my own!"
"Your own way?" Noah exclaimed, "Is that the real reason you're doing so much experiment?"
"That's just a by-product!" Satan smiled coldly and shook his head, "It's luck or accident, I found that thing, but it's not my true purpose, my ambition can't be limited to this little demon realm!"
Noah gritted her teeth and said coldly, "So, do you know what the real demon god is?"
"I don't know," Satan shook his head, "why don't you tell me?"
"This is more troublesome to explain!" Noah raised his hands that were bound by chains, "Why don't I, I'll take you to Heavenly Dao to have a look, maybe you'll understand!"
"Heavenly Dao Wheel Yu?" Satan raised his eyebrows and let out a chuckle, and then this chuckle gradually turned into a maniacal laugh "Hahahahaha......"
"Huh?" Noah took a step back.
"Do you think I don't know?" Satan cried out, "no one can enter the Heavenly Dao alive, and any matter that steps into the Heavenly Dao will be reduced to ashes in an instant!"
"You know?" Noah was surprised.
"Heavenly Dao Wheel Yu is a stunt mastered by the Heavenly Demon God, and there has always been only one Heavenly Demon God!" Satan looked at Noah with a jealous expression, showing a slightly surprised expression, "I don't know how you learned it, and I didn't expect that you could actually leave the Heavenly Dao alive!"
"It's all luck!" Noah looked a little impatient.
"Really?" said Satan with a wicked grin.
"It's true!" Noah gritted her teeth, "Speaking of which, I have something I want to ask you!"
"Demon King Satan!" Noah stared at Satan's face and said, "Did you come up with this name yourself? The name Satan is a demon who plagues the world in the language of mankind, and in the language of God, it is an angel who has fallen into hell, in the language of the demon world..."
"The Demon King who destroys everything!" Satan sneered, "I like that title!"
"It's not a matter of title!" Noah asked, "Why are you so hungry for power? You already have enough, why do you want more? Become a Demon King, then become a Demon King, and then want to become a Demon God?"
Noah stared at Satan, "Why is this, I can see that you don't want to do it, you don't want to get everything, Satan, what do you really want to get?"
"Hahahaha...... Isn't it easy this time? Because of the power, it can make me more satisfied!" Satan clenched his fists and showed an extremely hideous expression, "So I have to keep climbing up to get that thing!"
Noah was stunned, "What do you mean?"
Satan gritted his teeth and replied, "When I was an ordinary demon, I began to envy those people in high positions, who dominated everything and enjoyed the pleasure of being on top of other lives, I also wanted to have these, I wanted to trample everything under my feet!"
Saying that, Satan sighed regretfully, "But when I really became the demon king, I still don't have this feeling, what satisfaction, happiness, no feeling, why? Because I am Satan, destined to be different from others, this small achievement cannot really satisfy me, so I must keep climbing, because I am born to conquer everything, and I am destined to become the ruler of everything!"
"Ruler?" Noah lowered her head and sighed, "Is this what you want, your heart is really empty!"
"You know what?!!" Satan roared suddenly.
"Your actions are just a bottomless pit, because you didn't find what you really wanted!" Noah shouted with a low expression, "If you were ever Lucifer, you should know what I mean!"
"You said Lucifer?" Satan's eyes flashed a hint of sharpness, "There has been this person, but since you have opened your mouth like this, you naturally don't know who Lucifer is, the real Lucifer is far from what you think!"
"What do you mean?"
Satan stared at Noah, smiled playfully, and then slowly replied, "I'll tell you a story!"
"Story?"
"Hahaha...... That's right!!" Satan laughed maniacally: "The protagonist of the story is Lucifer, see how he fell into a drama of darkness!"
Noah's eyes froze.
............
His mother is gone, his father is dead, and this is the only thing Lucifer had when he was a teenager except himself, but his heart is very empty, so Lucifer began to look for something that could fill the gap in his heart.
His home was secluded, as Lucifer was a demigod and barely dared to associate with anyone in order to avoid outsiders, but since his father's death, Lucifer has also left the house.
"Hey, are you still alive? Wake up!"
Hearing a vague sound in his ears, Lucifer was in a coma in the mountains, because unlike ordinary humans, even if he didn't eat or drink for dozens of days, he wouldn't feel anything, and there was a blur of exhaustion, because he was attacked by a hungry tiger, and he was exhausted and knocked the tiger away, but he was also tired and fainted.
Passing by was a wagon carrying goods, a caravan traveling between the two places, and they found Lucifer in a comatose and rescued him.
"Wake up, see you fainting alone in the wilderness, where are your parents?"
Lucifer shook his head, he didn't have parents now.
"Ah, I'm sorry!" the man hurriedly realized that he had said the wrong thing and apologized to Lucifer, "We are a caravan to Oran City, and it will be safe to send you there in a moment!"
"Oran City, is it good there?"
"Of course, there are a lot of people there, it's very prosperous, there is food and drink, even a little ghost like you can eat with a mouthful!"
"I'm not a ghost!" Lucifer argued.
"Hahahaha...... You little ghost!" the man laughed heartily, and after Lucifer agreed, he put him in the carriage, and then he stayed alone, and Lucifer counted the number of times the carriage stepped on the horse's hooves, and after a long day's journey, he finally came to Oran.
Oran City is a famous trading city, very prosperous, here are many high-rise buildings, the streets are full of traffic, Lucifer has never seen so many people, and there are many things in the city that have never been seen.
Then, they put Lucifer in a tavern, and a very serious mother-in-law walked up to Lucifer, who looked at Lucifer's thin body and did not pay attention to him.
"If you want to have something to eat and water to drink, if you want to survive here, give me a good job, we don't accept idlers here, do you understand!"
"Yes!" Lucifer was startled by her expression and hurriedly agreed.
"Also, you sleep here!!"
The proprietress asked Lucifer to stay in the stable and sleep, because he was just a servant, but despite this, Lucifer felt very warm, and listening to the wind outside, Lucifer looked very nice.
The next day, Lucifer began his formal work, serving dishes, washing dishes and the like, although he always broke the plates at the beginning, and received a lot of lessons from the proprietress of the boss, Lucifer's body was thin, and he was a teenager with an appearance of only eleven years old, but his strength was far beyond that of ordinary humans, and he always did several times the workload of others.
At that time, Lucifer was a very simple child, although he had never met his mother to teach, Lucifer's memory was that his mother was a very gentle and excellent mother at all times. Lucifer loved his mother very much, but for some reason, he left her when he was three years old and never saw her again, but he has always been Lucifer's pride, and he remembered it in his heart, as his mother taught, with a loving and tender heart, even if he suffered a loss, it doesn't matter, he will never hurt others, and be a good person.
Gradually, the people around him are very optimistic about him, and Lucifer is a very handsome beautiful boy, although he doesn't know much about things, but he is very honest and capable.
The proprietress said: "You don't have to sleep in the stable from tomorrow, I will arrange your own room for you, and you will be a regular employee in the future!"
Lucifer nodded hurriedly, and his heart, which had been empty, suddenly had a moment of satisfaction.
There are a lot of people here, it's a happy place, and the important thing is where Lucifer is satisfied, and Lucifer intends to live like this forever.
But he never realized that he was different from others, and these were the beginning of Lucifer's nightmare, the starting point of despair.
