Throne of Gods: Divine thunder descends, and the Qilin descends upon the world!

Chapter 154 Moonlight's Scheme, the Demon Emperor's Fear
With a blinding flash of light, Moonbeam led Night Tear back to their demon-hunting villa.

Cai'er was meditating peacefully on the bed when she sensed a familiar presence approaching, so she slowly opened her eyes.

However, what came into view was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure behind Yuehui—Ye Xiaolei.

She couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Since they went to the Tower of Eternity for seclusion, Ye Xiaolei has never stepped out of Dream Paradise again, as if she has already seen all the scenery of the human world.

“She is homeless now and will be living with us from now on.” Moonlight’s voice was calm but tinged with a heavy tone.

"Homeless?" Cai'er asked, a look of confusion on her face.

"The Demon Emperor Fengxiu left a coordinate in Dream Paradise." Yuehui's tone was solemn. "Just now, he personally destroyed Dream Paradise. If Xiaolei hadn't signed a contract with me, she would probably be in Fengxiu's hands by now."

Cai'er's expression tightened upon hearing this: "Doesn't that mean the Demon God Emperor already knows that Xiao Lei is related to our Demon Hunter Team?"

Although he possessed the power of divine retribution, he still couldn't be sure how much this power could close the gap between him and the Demon Emperor.

He dared not gamble, nor could he afford to—the only thing he could do right now was to buy time.

If we can continuously narrow the gap in spiritual power, perhaps one day... we can even be on par with Fengxiu.

At that time, with pure destructive power, he would have absolute confidence in defeating the Demon Emperor and ascending to the new throne!
As for the time required for growth? He wasn't worried.

The Tower of Eternity is under his control. As long as the Holy War continues, his cultivation speed will be unimaginable and unfathomable to everyone.

"But what should we do?" Cai'er asked, a hint of worry in her eyes.

"That's easy, let's sell some information first."

As Yuehui spoke, he slowly walked to his desk, took out a piece of paper, and wrote a seemingly ordinary "letter home" in human language. However, embedded between the lines were codes that only he and Yueye could decipher.

After finishing writing, he carefully checked it to make sure there were no flaws before putting the letter into an envelope and sealing it with a thick sealing wax.

"Alright, this letter should buy us some time," Yuehui said confidently.

"What exactly is written inside?" Ye Xiaolei was completely confused and couldn't help but be curious.

"It's roughly... some information that would force the Demon Emperor to weigh the pros and cons." Moonbeam smiled slightly, without going into details.

He then summoned a messenger and instructed him to personally deliver the letter to the southeastern fortress and into the hands of the Moonlit Merchant Guild.

……

Half a month later.

Deep within the Demon Emperor's Palace.

"Brother, Ah Hui has sent back some intelligence."

Agares, holding a letter deciphered under the moonlight, hurried into the Demon Heart Palace.

Previously, Fengxiu had suffered some backlash for forcibly destroying Dream Paradise and confronting the remaining divine power of the Goddess of Nature. He is currently recuperating in a secret room.

Sensing Agares' presence, he slowly opened his eyes, got up, and returned to his bedchamber.

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Agares noticed the unhealthy paleness on Feng Xiu's face and couldn't help but ask.

"It's alright. I was tainted by the goddess's divine power when I captured her divine essence. I'll recover after a period of rest." Feng Xiu's tone was calm, revealing no emotion.

"I see." Agares nodded, a look of regret on his face at the opportune moment.

(What a pity.)
(Wait... the divine status of a nature goddess?)
His mind raced, but his expression remained calm as he tentatively asked, "Brother, did you... successfully obtain godhood?" "No, she escaped." Feng Xiu shook his head.

"It's such a shame," Agares sighed heavily, his tone earnest.

(Very good!)
“However, she ultimately couldn’t escape my grasp,” Feng Xiu added calmly, his gaze distant, as if everything was still under his control.

Agares fell silent for a moment.

(Is this a joke?)

"By the way, second brother, what information did you just say...?" Feng Xiu asked, looking up as if he had just remembered something.

"It was sent back by Ahui, about the so-called 'foundation' of the human side," Agares said, presenting the translated intelligence in his hand.

Fengxiu took the letter and read it word by word with a serious expression.

The intelligence is divided into three parts.

Firstly, Moonbeam's demon-hunting group has been officially promoted to a title-level demon-hunting group.

Secondly, he did not find any trace of Austin Griffin within the city limits, suggesting that he may have escaped and is still being tracked down.

The third point, the most detailed, was precisely the message that Moonbeam had carefully crafted to force Maple to weigh the pros and cons:

"Humanity's true strength lies in its sixty-three ninth-tier powerhouses, known as 'Eternal Heroes'."

"They were born six thousand years ago and fought a bloody battle with the first generation of demons. Later, they were transformed into undead by a lost forbidden spell-level necromancer scroll and fell into a long slumber."

"These sixty-three eternal heroes each possess the power of a domain, and sixteen of them have even reached the ninth rank, fifth level."

"However, even if they sleep as dead for six thousand years, their souls are nearing decay and are expected to die on their own in at most twenty years."

After reading the message sent back by Yuehui, Demon God Emperor Fengxiu's face gradually darkened.

"Sixty-three... Domain-level experts?" He muttered to himself, his knuckles unconsciously tapping the edge of the letter. "This is the trump card that humanity has kept hidden until now? It's actually the spirits left behind from six thousand years ago... How terrifying."

At this moment, he finally understood the meaning of the prophecy of the Star Demon God Vasak that it was "enough to contend with the three races of the Heaven-Defying Demon Dragon, the Moon Demon, and the Star Demon".

If this force were to unleash its full power, it would be enough to annihilate all the demon gods under his command, except for himself, the Moon Demon God, and the Star Demon God, as well as their ninth-tier clansmen.

He himself may be fearless, but what about his people? Once war breaks out, the demon race will pay an unimaginable price.

At that time, he, the Demon Emperor, will probably be all alone!
"Brother, what should we do?" Agares' voice trembled slightly.

Even someone as powerful as him couldn't help but feel a chill after learning that the human race was hiding such terrifying resources.

Although he possesses the strength of a ninth-tier, eighth-level being, he is also protected by the super artifact, the Moon Demon Pillar.

However, facing the combined attack of sixty-three powerful undead warriors who possessed domains and were fearless in the face of death, he had no chance of survival.

These eternal heroes are not only the dead, but also fearless and reckless warriors on the verge of extinction!

Its difficulty is comparable to that of the seventh demon god, Ananda, who is known for his battle madness and is avoided by all demon gods!
Feng Xiu raised his hand and rubbed his temples, revealing a rare look of fatigue: "Go and invite Third Brother over." He said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid... we'll need him to use the Great Prophecy Technique again."

Agares felt a chill run down his spine, knowing the gravity of the matter, and nodded heavily.

"Yes, I'll go right away."
