Several demons at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm arrived at the main hall immediately.
However, they did not join the battle immediately.
They watched from a distance, seemingly waiting for their chance to intervene.
The battle between you is simple yet deadly.
Almost all the demons who arrived were somewhat bewildered. They didn't understand how you got here, or why you attacked the Demon King.
They knew only one thing: the longer they watched, the less willing they were to join the battle.
[After all, the stronger the demon race, the more they can see the danger of your battle. With their strength, if they were to join in, they would likely face certain death within three moves.]
The battle between you is escalating, even shaking the entire demon realm.
This situation was something none of the demon races had anticipated.
Xi Meng intended to lure you outside the demon realm, but you consistently refused to comply.
[The state of perfect fusion allows you to suppress Xi Meng at all times.]
However, as Xi Meng's injuries worsened, a bad premonition began to creep into your heart.
【Your choice:】
[1. Disengage from the battlefield and temporarily cease action. (This option may trigger a subsequent outburst from the Demon King.)]
2. Continue with the assassination. (This option may put you in a dangerous situation.)
[3. Personal intervention, remaining attempts: one.]
Choose 1!
Your premonition grew stronger, even though you were confident you could help Ximeng complete her long-held plan. But at the very moment you were about to make up your mind to kill her, you ultimately stopped.
[You quickly bypass the encirclement of other demon races and are about to leave the demon realm.]
But what you didn't expect was that just as you were about to leave the demon realm, a power suddenly erupted within you, preventing you from leaving.
You look at Xi Meng with some surprise. During the time you spend together, she has quietly planted a seed within you.
This is the time when seeds sprout.
The moment you tried to escape the demon realm, Xi Meng unleashed her power, catching you completely off guard and severely injuring you.
You begin to want to go all out, holding nothing back.
[But all of this seems a little too slow for you.]
Despite her deliberate manipulation of the unsuspecting, Xi Meng ultimately managed to narrow the gap between you two.
After a long and fierce battle, you struck Ximeng in the heart with a single punch. The power Ximeng had left within you erupted completely at that moment.
You have completed your assassination mission.
[You are dead. 】
"What? Wasn't this supposed to be acting? How did it end up with everyone dying together?"
Su Chen stared at the outcome before him, momentarily incredulous. Everything that had happened before made him think that this assassination attempt was nothing more than a formality.
But the final scene actually lasted for so long.
Ultimately, it even resulted in a lose-lose situation.
"If option one is like this, then wouldn't option two be the same?"
Looking at option two, Su Chen realized that if he couldn't escape, fighting to the end in the demon realm wouldn't end well either.
Choose two!
Su Chen ultimately decided to see it for himself.
Even though you sensed something was wrong, you ultimately chose to continue.
The battle between you lasted a long time, shaking the entire demon realm.
Although this was a premeditated assassination attempt, Xi Meng's resistance was far from weak.
[You fought for a long time, yet you couldn't gain much advantage. Instead, Xi Meng kept you tied down. As your condition worsened, the demons watching from the sidelines finally mustered the courage to join the battle.]
However, the power they exert is nothing more than a tickle to you.
[But Xi Meng before you grows stronger with each battle, and you cannot ensure that you won't harm her while still having enough strength to spare.]
You can only give it your all.
You have successfully achieved your dream.
But your body had already reached its limit. You were swarmed by the demon race and attacked to death.
"As expected, the ending is always death, only the way of dying is slightly different."
Su Chen did not immediately choose to intervene personally, but continued to simulate the plot.
After Zhang Yang and Xi Meng both perished, Xi Meng's demon core was extracted by Shao Yao and integrated into the entire demon realm.
Just as Xi Meng had said before, the demon realm was completely sealed off, and all demons were unable to enter or leave normally.
However, the demons did not give up on leaving the demon realm.
They were still trying to find a way to break the barrier left behind by Ximeng.
Thanks to their persistent efforts, in just a few decades, the barrier that Xi Meng had built at the cost of her life was completely broken by these demons.
"If the Nine-Tailed Fox's prophecy concerns extraterrestrial beings, then isn't the timing of this barrier a bit too early?"
Based on Su Chen's experience, extraterrestrial beings will not attack this world for another two thousand years.
Closing the demon realm two thousand years in advance is far too early. Unless what Xi Meng saw was not something that happened two thousand years later.
"After all this time, haven't we just ended up raising a bunch of ungrateful wretches? Sometimes, instead of just doing things blindly, it's better to figure out how to fool some people."
The first two options should both end the same way: Zhang Yang and Xi Meng will both perish.
The barrier that had been painstakingly created was destroyed by those ungrateful demons.
"I have to come myself. At the very least, I need to figure out why this guy is so determined to risk his life to seal off the demon realm."
Su Chen really wanted to know why Xi Meng had gone to so much trouble.
Did she not know that these demons would break her barrier?
Su Chen decisively chose to intervene personally. When that familiar state appeared, he knew that he had entered the game.
"Damn it, the timing of this entry was terrible! It happened during a battle!"
Before Su Chen could even adjust to his body, he was immediately confronted with Xi Meng's relentless barrage of attacks.
"I said, 'Can we stop for a bit? There's something wrong with this, and I regret it.'"
While fending off Xi Meng's attacks, Su Chen spoke to her.
The surrounding demons almost all gathered around, but at this stage, they did not yet have the courage to join the battle.
"Is it too late to regret it now?"
“I know what you want to do, and I know you planted a so-called seed in my body. But things are not as you imagine. You can’t save the demon realm just by sealing it off.”
Su Chen spoke quickly, trying to use words to change Xi Meng's mind.
"I know what I'm doing, you don't need to tell me!"
"Alright, alright! I know you're single-mindedly focused on completing your plan. Since persuasion won't work, then we'll have to settle things with action!"
Su Chen didn't place too much hope on this; he had already prepared for the possibility that it wouldn't work. Before personally intervening, he had carefully studied Xi Meng's techniques. He couldn't speak for everything else, but she definitely had a knack for countering them.
Once Su Chen had adapted to his body and was constantly countering Xi Meng's moves, Xi Meng realized that things seemed to have really changed.
No matter what methods she uses, Su Chen can always anticipate it. He gets there first and blocks her completely.
Furthermore, the surrounding demons dared not step forward to help. Even with Xi Meng's strength alone, she was unable to subdue Su Chen.
When Xi Meng finally made up her mind to detonate the seed to help herself get through this ordeal, she found that it was of no use.
"Save your energy. Before I knew you had planted the seed, your sudden outburst was still somewhat useful. Do you think I wouldn't be on guard after I learned about your methods?"
Su Chen knew very well that only when he could completely control the situation would Xi Meng possibly listen to him.
Although he was only one minor realm stronger than Xi Meng, defeating her wouldn't be too difficult, especially after Su Chen became very familiar with Xi Meng's methods.
"What exactly do you want?" Xi Meng frowned.
"That's the question I should be asking you: What exactly do you want?"
Su Chen smiled; the situation was almost entirely under his control. Even if Xi Meng didn't stop, he had ways to keep her in line.
"Leave the Demon Realm!"
After leaving these three words, Xi Meng took the lead in leaving the demon realm, with Su Chen following closely behind.
Seeing this, the other demons also wanted to follow, but their strength was still too weak to keep up with the two.
Why the sudden change of mind?
"Is this what you call the guilty party accusing the innocent first?" Su Chen just looked at Xi Meng and didn't say anything more.
"That's my plan."
"If your plan involves risking your life to seal off the demon realm, then I advise you to abandon it as soon as possible. They won't appreciate it."
"What do you know?"
“Yes, I don’t have the Nine-Tailed Fox’s innate ability to predict the future. But I understand human nature a little better than you.” Su Chen looked at Xi Meng with a calm expression. “Although demons are not human, they are not far off.”
"I don't know what kind of future you see that makes you so eager to seal off the demon realm at the cost of your life. But I can tell you, this path is a dead end."
"And what I find even stranger is why you insisted on dragging me along? Doesn't committing suicide mean we can't seal off the demon realm?"
For the Demon King, risking his life to seal off the demon realm was indeed a responsibility he should undertake.
But why must we involve him?
This doesn't make sense from any perspective.
"Now that I've told you everything, will you be able to help me?" Xi Meng suddenly relaxed her tone and looked calmly at Su Chen in front of her.
"It depends on the situation. I could kill you, but you're determined to take me with you. Isn't that going a bit too far?"
