My Beautiful Duchess Wife

"Go to the City of Radiance immediately. Then, enter the Demon Realm and come back to find me! I never expected Harris to go to that one!" The Queen of the Underworld's voice echoed from the darkness.

Cold, yet tinged with anger. Indeed, if Harris had truly escaped there, they would have no way to actually arrest him! Moreover, they might even lose their own lives.

Osgikerd and Shaka exchanged a glance, the glint in their eyes seeming to say, "This is the only way!" Right now, these magical beasts and poisonous insects alone are keeping them busy enough.

……

In the Demon Realm, in that spacious and warm conference room, the Skeleton King sat quietly at the head of the table, seemingly deep in thought.

Or perhaps, it seemed to be in a deep sleep. Suddenly, those crimson eyes flickered like flames. Then, it stood up and said, "That one should be sufficiently restrained by now. I wonder if, then, our king will truly be able to complete that inheritance!"

The fire giant still resides within that enormous cauldron. It seems that it has always existed in the form of flames.

"Although the ancestor has recovered somewhat, it probably won't be that quick! Besides, it seems... this guy is always a bit unpredictable!"

If other gods heard such words, they would feel their scalps tingle instantly. This person, a true contemporary of the Creator God, was being spoken to in such a way!

"Boss, when can we finally merge? I'm sure the Queen of the Underworld has noticed. And lately, it seems the God of Light's power is starting to revive! Are we really just going to wait like this?!"

The Skeleton King slowly walked to the huge French windows. He gazed silently at this garden that truly resembled a fairyland. The crimson eyes within his skull twitched.

After a long silence, he finally spoke, "Now, let's merge the two great formations. Although it might affect the seal on the Queen of the Underworld, I think that once she finds out, she will definitely head towards the true Temple of the Sun. At that time, who will win and who will lose is still uncertain!"

After speaking, he walked directly out of the conference room. The remaining three saints pondered for a moment, then nodded.

Following the Skeleton King's footsteps, they walked outside...

Chapter Seventeen: The Darkness That Even Creator Feared

This place surprised Lin Peng. It also surprised Lan Mo. What was originally a perfectly good spot had become a lake.

Indeed, when it first landed, it was solid ground. But now it's suddenly become a lake, which is frustrating no matter how you look at it. Moreover, the lake is enormous. It's like a real inland sea. Instantly, the water that rises to the surface looks very blue.

It was very deep, and a few ripples rose gently in the breeze. Yet, there was not a sound. It was as still as a true Dead Sea.

Harris smiled slightly; it was clear he had experienced this countless times. Suddenly, he gently lowered the dark sword in his hand into the water.

Suddenly, a wave crashed in, soaking Lin Peng and Lan Mo completely. This situation once again infuriated Lin Peng.

However, this inland sea is absolutely safe. At least, so far, no signs of anything following behind have been detected.

Therefore, this area is at least a forbidden zone. It can prevent Osgird from arriving. Furthermore, it can easily stop their pursuit!

When the longsword gently touched the water's surface, suddenly, dark clouds seemed to gather in the clear blue sky. Waves also began to surge.

As the rushing water began, the entire sea seemed to part to both sides. Moreover, Lin Peng saw a pair of dragon horns within the mist-like water droplets.

The water's surface had completely parted. What was revealed was a sheet of extremely shimmering scales. Even beneath the dark clouds, they seemed to begin to sparkle.

Lin Peng was stunned by what he saw of the dragon. Even though, in his memory, it should have been much larger, it still stirred up all sorts of fantasies.

He almost knelt down, overwhelmed by the urge to kowtow and worship; his eyes were even red. The dragon's horns trembled slightly.

As a result, its entire body, which was at most a little over three meters tall, began to tremble, as if trying to disperse the water droplets.

"Harris, what brings you here again? It seems like it's not time for dinner yet, is it?" Shenlong's low voice made Lin Peng feel a little annoyed.

This guy really does come here often. So, he's here to deliver food to the dragon. His lips twitched slightly, as if he was quite displeased.

Harris smiled and nodded, then suddenly said, "Now is not the time to deliver food. I've already left the City of Life. I only fled here because I was being hunted down!"

He spoke honestly, admitting he was being chased and that's why he ended up here. However, what Lin Peng hadn't expected was that this elegant yet powerful dragon would utter such a statement.

"Who dares to hunt you down? Don't you want to live? You're under my protection, how can you be hunted down by others!" His tiger-like eyes widened, as if there was really such a thing.

Immediately, he tilted his head slightly and suddenly said, "Won't that old man Chaos help you?" He seemed to be considering something.

Lan Mo and Lin Peng exchanged a glance, both speechless with shock. This guy, although called an ancestor, is far too unrespectable!

Moreover, just now, it felt like I was haggling with a thug. It was as if it were always supposed to be like that.

Such a stark contrast seemed to overwhelm Lin Peng's mental fortitude. A slight smirk appeared on his lips as he cautiously asked, "Ancestor, could you first help us sense if those guys have caught up?"

Harris looked equally embarrassed. Lin Peng, on the other hand, was utterly bewildered. This dragon was worse than never having been seen at all.

Upon hearing Lin Peng's words, the Divine Dragon Ancestor was momentarily stunned, then closed his tiger eyes. Finally, he opened them in an instant.

She frowned slightly and said, "It seems to carry the aura of death. Hmm... I remember now, there's also the aura of those giants. Right, how come I didn't think of that? Back then, those giants were quite a troublesome race. If I had known, I would have wiped them out back then!"

Harris, Lin Peng, and Blue Demon were all covered in sweat. We all know you were very powerful back then, right? But was it really necessary to wipe out their entire clan just because they caused a little trouble?

Thinking of this, they all looked at the old ancestor with strange expressions, each harboring a peculiar thought. The old ancestor then looked at Lin Peng.

Suddenly, as if seeing an old friend, he burst into laughter: "You little rascal, what's this? Now, trying to get close to me again. By the way, why do you seem like a different person?"

Lin Peng was slightly taken aback, quite obviously. Perhaps it was from a past life, or perhaps, he didn't know when, or maybe it was due to a sense of familiarity? Thinking of this, he looked towards Harris.

"Sun God King, in your memory, you should have been reincarnated, right? Not the way you were before. You should know that very well, shouldn't you?"

Harris said with a smile, making it sound very casual. At that very moment, suddenly, an old man appeared beside the dragon.

Long white eyebrows and a white beard fluttered slightly in the breeze. He looked at Lin Peng, Harris, and Blue Demon with a kind expression.

Furthermore, he wore a slight smile, as if looking at a close relative. At this moment, the ancestor saw the old man and roared, "Old man Chaos, these children seem to have been bullied. Should we go and wipe out their entire clan?"

Suddenly, Lin Peng's lips twitched involuntarily once again. It was as if he had witnessed something very strange. More like, he was looking at this ancestor as if he were an idiot.

Lin Peng knew that this old man's strength had definitely reached a certain level. Moreover, he might even be a figure from the same era as this ancestor!

Thinking about a certain period of time, Lin Peng suddenly paused. That's right... a period of time, that seems to be the creator god, right? Could it be that this guy is some kind of creator god?

Immediately, he was startled and looked at the old man with some surprise.

"Teacher!" Harris knelt down on one knee upon seeing the old man, showing him the respect one would show to a father.

The old man nodded slightly, chuckling softly, "I don't know, thousands of years have passed. This is the first time I've truly met you. Hehe... This old snake isn't something you can control. As for your own affairs, you should resolve them yourselves! My power hasn't truly recovered yet. And I'm still waiting for that final seal! It would be best if you could resolve things yourselves first, and then come and help us!"

Lin Peng and Harris exchanged a glance, then looked towards Blue Demon. They were somewhat confused about the situation, especially since it was something even the Creator God and the Ancestor found difficult to handle.

And what is it, anyway?

The old man shook his head slightly, and suddenly the sea calmed down. At the same time, both the dragon and the old man disappeared.

If it were a matter of speed, Lin Peng would definitely be able to detect it.

However, one thing is certain: this is definitely not a matter of speed, but rather, it's a true spatial technique. Or rather, a spatial teleportation technique.

However, the voice rang out: "Now, you'd better hurry to Radiant City! Whether you can help us or not depends on this. If that woman really gets his power, even the two of us might not be able to suppress her. Hehehe..."

"Hurry up and go!"

Lin Peng was stunned. Even the Creator God had a lot of trouble? Could it be that there really was a power that even the Creator God feared?

At this moment, Lin Peng felt helpless, and even more so, a little confused. He couldn't understand what kind of being could even be defeated by the Creator God!

Blue Demon sighed softly and said, "Do you know, back then, Darkness?"

"What 'darkness' back then? Never heard of it, let alone any legends about it, right?" Lin Peng shook his head. However, Harris seemed to know a little about it!

With an uncertain tone, he said, "You're talking about the darkness at the beginning of time, right? Heh... Wasn't that sealed away by the Creator God?"

"But didn't you hear him mention the word 'seal' just now?" Blue Demon shook his head helplessly, then turned and looked sharply in the direction of Radiant City.

Harris was completely stunned, while Lin Peng, as if listening to gibberish, pricked up his ears, seemingly waiting for the next part!

Chapter Eighteen: The Man with the Most Potential

Legends are just legends. Of course, when a legend becomes reality, some people may find it hard to accept. Others, however, face it with equanimity!

He didn't really believe in the existence of a creator god who created gods, or rather, a creator god who created this world. Perhaps they were the first to receive power, but they could never be the ones who created the world!

Blue Demon said that when the world was first created, there was a darkness. No... to be precise, there was this darkness, which possessed an innate consciousness.

However, he hadn't yet gained power. But after countless ages, after countless years of cultivation, it seemed he had become powerful enough.

Then, he was discovered by the creator god. And then, of course, he was sealed away. Because the creator god took pity on him. However, in Lin Peng's imagination, even the creator god couldn't kill him. So, the only option was to seal him away. Perhaps most people wouldn't believe it, but Lin Peng believed his own viewpoint.

At the same time, she also wondered if that darkness might be directly devoured by the Queen of the Underworld. Did she possess such a powerful devouring ability?

Or was that woman, in essence, the embodiment of darkness? Lin Peng never delved into questions he couldn't understand. He simply followed the two men's instructions and headed towards Radiant City.

Looking down at the earth from the sky, Lin Peng suddenly had some thoughts. Even if someone is a god, so what? Even if they are as powerful as a creator god.

Or perhaps, a tyrannical figure like the ancestor. So what? It seems that everything was merely a coincidence. And within that coincidence, the existence of the creator god was the first to gain power.

Then, the ancestor who resembled a divine dragon also gained that power. Because they possessed that power, they could roam freely.

Therefore, they could truly suppress all the gods. However, when they encountered powerful enemies, it seemed that they might only occasionally lose!

Even so, their power seemed to have reached its peak. However, that guy, by chance, surpassed that peak again. Perhaps, everything was just a coincidence.

Perhaps, in his past life he was some kind of sun god. But in this life, he is still himself. Still, Lin Peng. Looking down from this height, with Lin Peng's abilities, he can still clearly see or hear things.

On the streets, adults strolled hand in hand with their children. The children, on the other hand, tried their best to be affectionate with the adults and buy them more food.

But the poor can only toil away. In a golden field, the wheat swayed gently in the breeze.

It was like a real golden ocean, so dazzling it almost dazzled the eyes. In the wheat field, many farmers looked up.

Enjoy the cool breeze. It carries away a trace of weariness. Suddenly, a grin appears, and I begin to sing a series of folk songs.

They were singing songs from what might have been ancient times, or perhaps even the distant past. It's unknown when these divinely inspired songs were passed down. Perhaps it's because this is the territory of the Dark Church.

Almost all the farmers were singing songs praising the dark beings. Some even sang ballads about those dark demons.

Lin Peng suddenly stopped, grinning slightly. Yes, these simple people just live ordinary lives. But there's something special about their ordinariness.

It was a blessing that could only be earned through countless lifetimes. No, he didn't have much ambition. He was just hoping the weather would be better this year. He hoped the gods would bless them so they could make more money.

That way, the wives at home can at least live a better life. Their children can attend good schools. If they could actually attend schools for magicians and knights, even the hardest work would be worth it!

Such a simple request. Lin Peng smiled. If I really am the creator god, then I will grant your request! He himself didn't care, but Blue Demon and Harris were surprised.

At this moment, Lin Peng seemed to be enveloped in flames as bright as the sun, scorching the earth. However, he did not feel the heat; it was as if the light, though appearing scorching, should have carried a cool sensation.

The sky shone brightly, and the people below must have noticed. It seemed as if two suns had appeared. However, it had become even cooler.

Many ordinary people knelt down, bowing their heads vigorously towards the sky, as if praising something wonderful.

At this moment, both Blue Demon and Harris were stunned. They seemed completely unable to react, and there was a sense of disappointment in their reaction.
