My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 425 Did he even call out "father" to save his life?

However, the old Demon Emperor did not stop at all. Instead, he continued to move forward, and each step made a squeezing sound on the ground that had been melted into a semi-liquid state by magma and dragon breath.

"Wait, Father! I am your most beloved son!" the Lich King said, his voice echoing in the hollow pupils of the monster, now corroded by dragon breath and resembling a skeleton, glowing with ghostly blue flames.

He wanted to live, to survive...

No matter how pathetic his life was, no matter what... he wanted to be the emperor of the empire. He was the one who should be the emperor. How could his two brothers with lung fog compare to him?
He was considered a genius by others, someone whose talent far surpassed that of his father!
From childhood to adulthood, everyone claimed to be a genius, saying that their talents far surpassed those of their father.

He was clearly the best candidate to be emperor!
Why? My father arranged for my eldest and second eldest brothers to marry the Tree Spirits and the Orcs, two races second only to the Demons, while he gave himself the Blood Clan, who offered me no help whatsoever.
Why? Why should I be excluded from the throne for doing this?

I am not reconciled! I want to become the emperor, an emperor who will far surpass my father.

The old Demon Emperor suddenly stopped in his tracks; his face was so dark that it was impossible to see any of his features.

Seemingly noticing that the old demon king had stopped, the Lich King continued uttering words against his will: "Father, Father..."

As long as I can survive, as long as I'm still alive, since I could kill this old man the first time, I can kill him a second time!
"So you're even calling out 'father' to save your own life?" the old Demon Emperor uttered.

The Lich King froze for a moment, then suddenly cried out in a hoarse voice, "Father! Father, it's me! It's your beloved little Karl, your genius youngest son Karl!"

"Oh? But I remember, when I sent troops to exterminate the vampires, didn't my third son already drown?" The old demon emperor said silently, each word devoid of any emotional fluctuation. "That damned undead dared to impersonate my youngest son; you have already met your end!"

The Lich King was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the breath that seemed to come from the abyss in the Blood Dragon's mouth began to gather, and the foul-smelling breath was about to explode.

Unexpectedly, Xue Dinglu put his hand on the old demon emperor's shoulder and said, "Don't be in such a hurry, this thing is not easy to kill."

The blood dragon's breath shot straight into the sky, seemingly unleashing a terrifying rain of blood in this city of the dead.

The joy of surviving the ordeal washed over him in an instant. He was about to open his mouth when his entire head was pulled out. Xue Luding then randomly found a piece of rotten flesh and stuffed it into his mouth, completely dislocating his jaw.

"This thing is a man-made weapon. It looks like your youngest son, but it's just a tool. It feels no pain, no fear, and no death..."

"Even the emotions and memories he displays may simply be pieced together," Xue Dinglu explained.

"Waaah!" With only its head remaining, it didn't know what it wanted to say, probably something like "You're talking nonsense."

However, Xue Dinglu was not going to let him say it out loud. Instead, he continued, "You can't kill him like this. Even if you scatter his soul fire, he can still be resurrected in other places."

"Because the lich is essentially just a mass-produced necromancy, even if you destroy it, the fragments of that memory and soul will still be resurrected," Xue Dinglu said in the most concise way possible.

"Waaaaah!" the Lich King wailed even more violently.

"And this thing is so noisy. Did his lower body still have a body on it? Old Deng, if you think killing him like this is too easy, then cut off his genitals and stuff them in his mouth, and show this to everyone. That's the ultimate insult." Xue Dinglu raised the head in his hand.

The old Demon Emperor fell silent, his face bearing an expression that seemed to say, "You've gone a bit too far." The blood dragon slowly returned to his body.

Xue looked at his phone; only four hours had passed since he arrived in this world—a complete speedrun.

“Leave this thing to me. I have countless ways to completely destroy it, and once it’s dead, the undead scourge of your world will also disappear,” Xue Dinglu said. “So you don’t need to worry about these undead anymore. This world still needs you, the emperor of this empire, to unify it.”

"Are you confident in building a brand new empire again?" He tugged at the Lich King's long braid and swung it around like a yo-yo.

“Yes, I have learned a lot and know a lot…” After saying that, the old Demon Emperor sighed, “Perhaps I am really not suited to raising children. My children are either good-for-nothings or complete beasts…”

"You talk like you've trained them yourself," Xue Dinglu retorted.

Old Deng spent his entire life fighting wars. Even after the empire was established, he was either fighting or on his way to war. After all, there were still many bandit kings, pirate kings, and remnants of other races that had not been wiped out. He basically left his sons to be raised by others.

So it's normal for them to become bad at raising them...

Looking in the distance, Xue Dinglu could only shake his head, considering that the races in this world were currently in an environment similar to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Every time the apostle notices a new world, countless similar scenes appear. At first, he might be angry and hot-blooded, but now he has gradually become numb.

Or perhaps, the feelings have gradually faded...

Therefore, he will kill all the apostles...

Only in this way can we prevent the same thing from happening again and solve the problem at its root.

Xue's Law came to this world prepared to fight the Eighth Apostle, although none of those preparations were used. This cataclysmic disaster was just a minor episode, something Xue's Law would forget about after a good night's sleep.

But for the people of this world, it was a hell of cannibalism for decades.

“I’m taking him with me. This world still needs you.” Xue Luding thought for a moment, then handed the Bread Technique to the old Demon Emperor.

"Bread making, you're very familiar with it. It can help you quickly solve the food problem in the early stages of development."

"Thank you..." the old Demon Emperor said directly, looking at this spell, perhaps this is the spell that the world needs most.

"Alright, I'll be going now. I'll come visit you when I have time. I hope that by then you'll have ended the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period and created a completely new world." Xue Dinglu said, tossing the Lich King's head in his hand.

"Yes, you can ask me anything you want in the future, and I will do my best to help you. Even if it involves fighting... my strength should be able to play a role."

Xue Dinglu shouldn't have said that; the old man can no longer interfere in his current battles.

Clean up the mess left by the Scourge and the Empire's collapse; these are perhaps the things this old undead, finally returning home, most needs to do.

This time, nothing dramatic happened, and things unfolded just as Xue Dinglu had predicted—a relaxed outing.

In fact, if the Lich King had gone all out from the start and ambushed the two of them, he certainly wouldn't have been able to defeat Xue Lude, but it would have certainly caused a lot of trouble.

But he chose the most foolish solution, playing his cards right, and now he's become the yo-yo in Xue's hands.

It only took 4 hours in total, making it the most relaxing trip to another world ever. Xue Law even had time to start thinking about random things.

Previously, Xue's Law didn't have time to stop thinking, to feel lost, or to wonder if he had changed. After all, he was always putting out fires; he didn't have time to be confused. If he had been confused for even a moment, the world would probably have ended.

And now, I finally got to experience the thrill of smurfing in low-elo games.

Just mindlessly rush into the BOSS's territory, and then do whatever you want without thinking.

No matter what he said, I couldn't be bothered to listen. I just killed him. Xue hadn't experienced this kind of simple and easy pleasure in a long time.

Looking at the head he was holding, Xue Dinglu said, "You, the Lich King, truly delight me."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

"Don't worry, I finally have a complete lich. I'm going to find out how to deal with the Eighth Apostle from you!" Xue Dinglu laughed and threw the head away.

In an instant, the divine tree seemed to come alive, wrapping its entire trunk around the head, its branches piercing into the skull without harming the Lich King's soul fire.

Yes, he didn't actually care about the Lich King or his true identity.

But he was very concerned about the absence of the Eighth Apostle.

He was determined to either destroy the Eighth Apostle or find the thing closest to the Eighth Apostle, the Lich King, and thus discover a way to specifically attack the Eighth Apostle.

Although Xue Dinglu knew a lich who should still be bathing in the volcano, it was troublesome to take that thing down and even more troublesome to take it out. In addition, he was unsure if a mere quasi-4th-tier lich king was qualified, so he gave up.

"Brother, what's wrong with you..." Su Su suddenly appeared behind him from nowhere, looking at the head of the undead with a braid in the sky with a very puzzled expression.

She had no idea what was happening. Things were happening so fast. In less than four hours, Xue Luding and the Old Demon Emperor had ravaged the entire Undead Cataclysm. She had only been woken up by the strange movements of the Divine Tree, which were like an earthquake.

"You've come at the right time. Do me a favor and open Margaret's Pure Land. I want to try and confirm what exactly the Lich King's soul is, how he achieved immortality, and its connection with something else," Xue Dinglu said.

"woo woo woo woo!"

"Don't worry, it won't hurt anymore," Xue Dinglu comforted the spirit.

Su Su instantly realized that this was the Xue Law she knew, the guy with hundreds of billions in KD. The image of the sunny and cheerful boy she knew before made her feel very uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling on her.

That's it! That's it! This is the real deal! This is the authentic Brother Law!

After interacting with that group of masked lunatics, she even suspected that Brother Lu might have been assimilated by them and turned into a crazy guy who only knew how to wear a mask and cause trouble.

This is the right flavor now.

……

Meanwhile, the old Demon Emperor's career is not going well.

The entire Great Tomb was completely filled with Xue's law of lava. It was originally home to billions of undead and monsters, all of whom were the Lich King's trump cards. However, whether it was the mythical undead or the indestructible Great Tomb, they were all as easy as butter when they came into contact with the volcanic lava.

Everything was wiped out instantly!
The great tomb became an empty space, and those traitors, criminals, and nobles from other tribes whom he might have wanted to take revenge on were instantly killed.

This made him feel as if he had lost many goals in an instant.

When he stepped out of the Great Tomb of the Dead, which had been completely transformed into an obsidian pit, he was surprised to find his two sons still outside the door.

"Father..." The two desiccated corpses looked at the person who came out, and after feeling the soul that was no longer bound by anything, they smiled for a moment.

When the old Demon Emperor saw his two sons, who had long since become undead, his expression was extremely complex, containing melancholy, helplessness, and a final trace of relief.

“We were lucky to be assigned to guard the outermost perimeter, which actually saved us from that heavenly punishment-like flames… all the other high-ranking undead inside died…” the eldest son said, a demi-human with some lizard features.

The Old Demon Emperor was less of a demi-human and more of an alien. Apart from his physical resemblance to primates, he was essentially more like a lizardman with an insect exoskeleton, and he looked quite ugly.

It has been said among the demons that he has regressed to his ancestral form and possessed the power of his ancestors. However, the old demon emperor also knew that he was ugly, so his wives in his youth were all very human-like.

Therefore, his eldest son was more like a scaly demi-human, while his second son only inherited his exoskeleton in a few joints, and overall he was not much different from a human.

In his education, his eldest son was a scholar. He had never suffered hardship or experienced war since childhood. The old demon emperor's requirement for him was to become the most knowledgeable person in the world.

Unfortunately, the environment of that time could not cultivate a truly knowledgeable person. His eldest son was only slightly better than those other brutes who only knew how to fight and kill, but he didn't have much of a brain either.

Therefore, the old Demon Emperor arranged for him to marry a princess of the tree spirit clan, ensuring that even if he was incompetent, he would eventually receive the protection of this clan, which was second only to the demons.

The second son, the Old Demon Emperor, had his other subordinates fight alongside him since childhood. However, he was the kind of person who was neither the best nor the worst. He had never made any great achievements or mistakes. He was qualified to be a deputy general, but not qualified to be a commander.

So the old Demon Emperor arranged for him to marry the daughter of an orc chieftain. As one of the earliest tribes to follow him, the orcs were one of his core followers.

As for the youngest son... let's not even mention him...

However, all his previous arrangements and plans have come to naught, leaving only this mess and a complete absurdity...

"I'm sorry, Father, we're useless. Whether it was stopping our third brother's rebellion or preventing him from becoming a ghost this time, we didn't do a good job..." The eldest son scratched his head. He was a child who grew up in a good school, but he looked simple-minded.

"Tell me, what was going on between you before I died?" The old Demon Emperor walked silently, and the two undead followed slowly.

"I...I'm sorry, Father. I received news that you were preparing to return to the capital, so I went to greet you in person, and then I was ambushed..." The eldest son recounted the events of his life, which made the old Demon Emperor instantly understand what had happened in the capital at that time.

"Second brother, what about you?"

"Father, I was drinking at the time, and when I woke up again, I was already a ghost..." The second son became even more timid and dared not speak.

The Old Demon Emperor: "..."

Fine, all three accounts are ruined. Let's find a successor and start a new alt account.

This time, it's a secondary account that needs to return from studying abroad in another world. (End of Chapter)
