"You devil, you devil—"
Demon Emperor Feng Xiu stared intently at Qin Wuyou, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single complete sentence.
He could clearly remember the excruciating pain when the spear of law pierced his body, and the despair of having his soul crushed inch by inch—a pain ten thousand times worse than falling into the eighteenth level of hell.
"Heh! A devil?"
Qin Wuyou smiled upon hearing this.
He continued speaking—
"Six thousand years — a full six thousand years —"
"You used human flesh and blood to build your throne, used the cries of children to compose your war songs, and used six thousand years to turn the Holy Demon Continent into a living hell."
"You demon race truly deserve to die—"
Qin Wuyou's gaze swept over the group of demon gods before him, who were like frightened birds.
His voice was devoid of any emotion, yet it made the hearts of every demon god clench painfully.
"No—no—don't come any closer—"
"We surrender! We, the Demon God race, surrender!"
"Your Excellency! We are willing to pay any price!"
"Please—please give us a quick death!"
Some of the powerful members of the Demon God Clan, whose mentality was poor, were screaming in despair, their voices hoarse like broken gongs.
They were not afraid of death; they would grit their teeth and get through it.
But the kind of operation that involves killing and resurrecting, then killing again, resurrecting again, and repeating endlessly, truly terrifies them.
"Heh! Want to die???"
"To simply die would be too easy for you."
Qin Wuyou stepped forward slowly, each step feeling as if he were stepping on the heart of every demon god.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
'
Qin Wuyou raised his right hand slightly, and the thousands of law patterns behind him lit up again, with the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth intertwined.
The five supreme laws of creation, destruction, chaos, time, and space surged, and countless spears of law re-condensed, their sharp edges flickering uncertainly, turning the entire sky a ghastly white.
"Damn it???"
"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha"
"If our demon race deserves to die, then what about the god of divine retribution who destroyed our homeland? Doesn't he deserve to die too?"
"Isn't it all your fault that our Demon God race fled, and that the Holy Demon Continent is in such a terrible state?"
"Ah—answer my question—Your Excellency Qin Wuyou, who has inherited the divine title of Heavenly Punishment and become the new God of Heavenly Punishment of the Creation Universe."
Demon Emperor Feng Xiu stared intently at Qin Wuyou, looking as if he had gone mad.
If they had a choice, how could the Demon God clan possibly choose to flee their homeland?
If they had a choice, why would their demon race have invaded the Holy Demon Continent?
Ultimately, it's all because of the god of divine retribution.
"I am deeply sorry for what happened to your demon race!"
"I can understand why you choose to invade weaker worlds in order to survive."
"But—your mistake lies in the indiscriminate killing of innocent people."
Your Demon God race made a mistake by not choosing to unify the entire Holy Demon Continent when you clearly had the power to do so.
"On the contrary, they are deliberately keeping humans under their control, starting wars from time to time, and using the lives of humans to train your demon race and serve as food."
"Moreover, this practice did not last for six years, nor sixty years, nor even six hundred years, but for a full six thousand years. In those six thousand years, how many hundreds of millions of humans have died?"
Qin Wuyou looked at Demon Emperor Fengxiu with pity and said.
Austin: Griffin did indeed destroy the Demon God Continent; that is an undeniable fact.
All I can say is that Austin said Griffin was too arrogant back then.
Otherwise, this whole mess wouldn't have happened.
"Hahaha—are you pitying me, Demon Emperor Fengxiu?"
"The god of divine retribution, who wields power over killing and is utterly impartial, actually shows mercy to the weak???"
Demon Emperor Fengxiu seemed to have discovered something hilarious, and was covering his face and laughing wildly.
Moreover, he, the dignified king of the seventy-two demon god pillars, was actually pitied by a junior who inherited the divine status of divine punishment.
"Brother Wuyou, this uncle may be pitiful, but he's not a bad person—"
Cai Wenji looked at the Demon Emperor Feng Xiu, feeling somewhat downcast.
As the creator goddess, she can perceive good and evil.
At least in the judgment of the Creator God, Demon Emperor Fengxiu is not a purely evil person.
"My Lord Creator, please excuse my poor appearance."
"Please forgive my demon race for offending you. It is my fault as the Demon Emperor that I have failed to discipline my people, causing them to lose their true nature in the face of dire straits."
Fengxiu slowly lowered her hand from her face, the maniacal laughter in her eyes fading, leaving only a bottomless weariness and desolation.
His golden pupils gleamed with a faint, cold light in the interplay of light and shadow, yet he bowed slightly to Cai Wenji—a rare display of humility from the Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu in his entire life.
"For six thousand years, since the Demon God Continent was reduced to scorched earth in Austin Griffin's destructive fire, my race has become homeless wanderers."
"We have traversed the galaxy in search of a place to call home, yet in this vast universe, there is nowhere for our demon race to find refuge."
.
"The humans of the Holy Demon Continent regard us as aliens, and the other gods of the universe avoid us like the plague. We have no choice but to plunder and wage war."
Demon God Emperor Fengxiu's voice was deep and resonant, like an ancient bell, carrying the weight of thousands of years.
He continued speaking.
"Your Excellency Qin Wuyou is right. The indiscriminate killing of innocent people and the raising of humans for military training and food are the sins committed by our race. I, Fengxiu, bear the responsibility for the wailing of hundreds of millions of souls lost over the past six thousand years."
"But if I could do it all over again, I would still choose to invade—not out of bloodlust, but to ensure the continuation of the demon race."
"As a ruler, I cannot watch my people starve to death, freeze to death, and vanish in despair."
"I am deeply grateful for the kindness of the Creator God."
"But sin is sin after all. My clan is willing to accept any punishment, only asking that you two gentlemen grant the demon race a way out so that they no longer have to wander and feed on killing. If I must repay the blood debt of six thousand years with my life, Fengxiu will have no regrets."
Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu raised his hand and placed it on his chest. The emperor's pressure quietly dissipated, but there was no trace of ferocity, only resolute determination.
"only----"
He changed the subject, looking at Qin Wuyou, a sharp glint in his eyes.
"I, Fengxiu, am unworthy to accept the mercy of Your Majesty the God of Divine Punishment."
"Though we demons are weak, we have pride. We would rather die standing than live on our knees."
"Today, our people admit defeat not out of fear of the gods who will punish us, but out of respect for the benevolence of the Creator God and also to acknowledge our own faults."
"Please give your instructions, both of you. My demon race is willing to accept your judgment."
After speaking, Demon Emperor Feng Xiu straightened up.
The Demon Emperor's majesty was rekindled. Despite being exhausted, he was still the iron-blooded emperor who commanded the seventy-two Demon God Pillars, only now his eyes held a hint of resignation to his fate.
