The end of the world is approaching, I'm handing myself over to the country.

Lies looked up at Desire with adoration: "Lord Desire, is there anything you wish to ask this humble one?"

He was all smiles, speaking so fast it was as if he were answering a question before anyone else.

He didn't need to say a single word out of desire; he just started spouting off words like crazy.

"Please ask away, sir!"

As the saying goes, a clear mirror is used to observe one's reflection, and the past is used to understand the present.

"Though I am of limited talent and learning, I will speak frankly and without reservation about all matters, large and small, concerning the Netherworld! I would never dare to utter a single falsehood!"

Lie was glad he had been to Earth and learned its language.

It has to be said that those people were really good at talking, although he wasn't quite sure what they really meant.

The shadow beside him twitched at the corner of its eye as it listened.

My stomach churned violently.

How can there be such a shameless creature in this world?!

He dug his fingers into the flesh of his palm so hard that he almost broke his nails.

But he clenched his teeth tightly.

He forced himself to swallow all the angry curses and blood that were on the tip of his tongue.

Because he no longer dared to speak.

Faced with such an absolutely overwhelming force.

I'll say more.

Too many mistakes!

Who knows if the person above might get angry and crush him into a pile of minced meat the next second!

midair.

The thick black fog churned like boiling swamp.

His face, shrouded in mist, appeared and disappeared, his eyes still cold as ice.

But on that face, which showed no emotion whatsoever, there was a faint smile at the corner of his lips.

Although the desire wasn't outwardly expressed, deep down there was a sense of absurd satisfaction with the scene before him.

In the Netherworld.

Every single one of those who can step into the King level exudes an arrogant and haughty air about them.

Even if they were forced to submit due to his absolute military power, those guys would definitely harbor resentment in their hearts.

No matter how compliant one may appear on the surface, one's backbone remains firm.

But it just so happens to be the person right in front of me.

This guy really stuck his face in the mud, sticking his butt out high, not caring about even the slightest bit of dignity as a king.

Although it's disgusting, I have to say...

This utterly shameless behavior shocked even the well-informed Desire.

I was even... inexplicably happy.

There was silence in the ruins for a full three seconds.

Desire then slowly spoke: "Fifty years ago."

The four words, spoken lightly without a trace of murderous intent, struck the empty ground like a heavy hammer!

The shadow kneeling on the other side suddenly stiffened, its breath completely stopping.

Desire looked down at the lies on the ground, its tone as indifferent as if it were discussing the weather.

I need to know.

"Fifty years ago, when you went to Earth, what exactly happened?"

As soon as those words were spoken...

The surrounding air seemed to have been sucked away instantly.

The war on Blue Star fifty years ago remains a huge shadow that the entire Netherworld can never erase to this day!

then.

Countless self-proclaimed invincible and supreme masters from the Netherworld have crossed over to this realm.

What an awe-inspiring and magnificent sight it was!

The results of it?

completely annihilated!

Those who went were almost all killed!

Back then, Desire guarded the Netherworld's main base and did not directly participate in the battle.

The outcome of that battle was so devastating that it sent chills down the spines of all the high-ranking beings who learned of it.

Amidst a scene of corpses and endless despair.

There was one exception.

That's the bastard who's lying on the ground like a lapdog right now.

That battle.

The lie not only survived but also returned to the underworld.

He even stepped over the corpses of countless powerful figures, rising from an unknown nobody to the ranks of the King!

This is absolutely absurd!

Desire had long wanted to bring this guy over and see what unspeakable secrets he had.

Unfortunately.

After the battle on Blue Star, the top combat power of Netherworld Heaven suffered a terrifying gap, and its vitality was severely damaged.

The cunning old foxes of Yuanzu Heaven, hiding in the shadows, seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and launched a massive invasion, tearing into the territory of Youming Heaven.

This hit.

That's been a whole few decades!

During those long years of war, desire repeatedly commanded people to dig out traces of lies.

But this bastard is like a cockroach that has already smelled danger.

It completely evaporated in the Netherworld!

The lie huddled in some unknown corner, hiding there for decades.

They didn't even dare to peek out.

Eventually, the people of Yuanzu Heaven could no longer fight and withdrew their troops.

The remaining top-tier combatants of the Netherworld also went into seclusion to recuperate for an extended period.

At this critical juncture when all the important figures were ignoring worldly affairs and secluded themselves in seclusion.

This disgusting cockroach swaggered out.

He expanded wildly, like an inflating balloon, enlarging his territory in all directions.

He made no attempt to hide his greedy ambition, and his behavior was extremely unseemly.

In just a few short years.

He actually managed to become one of the Ten Kings of the Western Regions of the Netherworld!

Everything seemed to be going so smoothly.

Until recently.

The so-called players from Blue Star descended upon the Netherworld without warning.

result.

This was a powerful king-level expert, one of the ten kings of the Western Regions, with countless strong warriors under his command.

Not even a fart!

Without hesitation, he abandoned his vast territory, which he had painstakingly built up, and fled overnight.

Nobody knows what this kid is really thinking.

Even more deadly is...

Nobody dared to believe a single word he said!

Because he wields the power of lies.

No one would believe a single punctuation mark that came out of his mouth.

now.

The lie, confronted directly by desire, still maintains its submissive posture.

But his face, pressed against the ground, showed no sign of panic at the exposure of his lie or his interrogation.

in contrast.

His eyes were frighteningly bright.

"If the great desires want to hear it, the lowly will naturally speak without reservation!"

The lie started yelling at the top of its lungs.

Instead of answering directly, he began his astonishing performance with a few words.

"Your Excellency is wise and discerning!"

"Those idiots from fifty years ago, what did they call that? They called it seeing only a part of the world, like a frog in a well!"

"They thought Earth was a fish on a chopping board, little did they know it was a den of dragons and tigers that would devour people without spitting out the bones!"

The lies were spoken at an extremely fast pace, with a string of idioms coming out as if they were free.

"At that time, I was nothing more than an insignificant ant, a drop in the ocean!"

"I watched those guys, who were usually so arrogant, rush in like moths to a flame."

"What can I do?"

"I can only protect myself and stay out of trouble!"

The lie was told with such conviction that the shadow beside him twitched with utter disbelief.

fuck!

Is this even human language?!

He portrays someone as cowardly, afraid of death, and a coward who betrays his teammates as something so refreshingly noble?!

What does it mean to "protect oneself wisely"?

You're just taking advantage of everyone else dying to frantically pick up the scraps!

Otherwise, how could he have broken through to the King level?

"grown ups!"

Lie suddenly straightened up, his face showing a pained expression.

"My lord, back then, the Netherworld Heaven was filled with powerful figures. A single tremor from our Heaven would shake the entire world."

"But it was this extreme self-confidence that led to extreme arrogance."

"After heading to the Netherworld, our strongmen fought each other, even killing one another. Before the treasure even appeared, our own people were already fighting each other."
