I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Figo fell silent again.

That makes some sense.

But... that's not good.

This is bad!

……

"Deliberately creating the Demon Clan's liberation plan, hiding the ancestor who lit the five lamps and controlled the situation—this is the Tianlong Star from which I was born, leading us to fight blindly our entire lives?!"

On a desolate planet, Nico, the former third-generation god general, roared at Ya Sheng, who was facing him, covered in wounds.

"I know everything has a reason, but no matter what the reason, Tianlong Star shouldn't be so arrogant as to fool the entire starry sky, Lord Yasheng!"

With white teeth, a white beard, and white eyebrows fluttering, and his robust muscles intact, he silently ran towards Nico.

"Do you know?! The older one gets, the softer one's heart becomes. The faces of those demon children who died at my hands, the hatred and pleading on those faces, keep me up at night!"

"And what about our compatriots who died in battle?! Hey, the arrogant will be punished, and we will be punished!" Nico threw a punch to meet the attack.

He was beaten again, vomiting blood and flying through the air. (Gu)

Thousands of miles away, Nimer sat on a hilltop, pale-faced, eating melons, a look of astonishment slowly creeping across his face, when he heard Niko's words from afar.

These words broke off one by one. It only took Nicol a dozen seconds to say them, but it took Nimer several hours to hear them all. In his eyes, their fight was as slow as slow motion.

Nico deceived Yasun; Heram did not make the arrangements a year in advance to seal off the entire planet.

It's only within a radius of ten thousand miles.

From the outside world, Nimer can use his abilities to cover the perimeter of the sealed area, while keeping the sealed Ya Sheng from noticing.

Time System - Slow Bloodline - Nimer altered the flow of time in that region!

Ya Sheng thought he had only been fighting Nico for 20 minutes and wasn't in a hurry, but little did he know that 20 days had already passed in the outside world!

……

"The sword of the previous dynasty does not kill the officials of the current dynasty."

Figo's sudden remark startled Solnos: "What?"

Figo said, "What does the demon race's wreaking havoc on the starry sky ten thousand years ago have to do with the demon race now? Why should they be deliberately released by the Celestial Dragons? Why should they be deliberately used as whetstones, struggling hopelessly in the starry sky?"

Solnos looked surprised.

"What did they do wrong to be used as sparring partners and fooled by the Celestial Dragons?"

"The progenitors of the demon race all transformed from humans. They could have had happy and ordinary lives. Why should their lives be ruined?"

"Do the Celestial Dragons really think that this trend is beneficial for fighting Lucifer in the future?"

"Can the Celestial Dragons really decide on a chaotic war that will last for a thousand years based solely on their own judgment?! Can they really decide on all the tragedies that will happen in the starry sky over the past millennium?"

Tell me, on what grounds?

Figo's barrage of questions momentarily tensed Solnos, causing his will to waver slightly.

"So you really... are you biased towards the demon race because of the influence of your demon bloodline?"

“You can take a good look at my information before you judge!” Figo said. “Rylen Torvor probably never imagined that the Celestial Dragons and the Celestial Dragon civilization he created would do such a stupid thing!”

Stupid thing?

Solnos was also becoming subtly agitated.

“This is an action I approve of! Even if Topher were alive, he would still support it. It's a cataclysmic event that will sweep across the entire cosmos, a cataclysm that could wipe out all races. If we can't even bear such a sacrifice, how can we possibly win against Lucifer!”

"Yes, what can they use to win? The seven kings who lit the five lamps are all on Tianlong Star, and they're not even willing to enter the place where the lamps reside to help the races there?!" Figo retorted.

"You might be thinking of conserving strength to avoid being scattered and defeated by the demons? 3200 years ago, Rilentorford could make the round trip alone. Now, with seven people, don't you even have that much confidence?!"

Solnos paused.

"You yourself said that humanity can never truly unite unless it is facing imminent danger. Can you guarantee that they will maintain their original aspirations during their 3200-year reign over the stars?"

“But this… this is better than doing nothing!” Solnos retorted.

“Even if something needs to be done, it should be decided by the entire cosmos.” Figo shook his head: “What makes the rulers of Tianlong Star think they can determine the trajectory of the cosmos for the next thousand years? What makes them think that they are indispensable in the fight against Lucifer?”

"Forget it, there's no point in saying more."

Athos, Beelzebub, Yana, and the faces of the demons who fought for their race and were now by his side flashed through Figo's mind, finally settling on Im, who had cried out decades ago.

"I already know what to do."

Solnos: "You..."

“First of all, places like the Demon Suppression Prison should no longer exist. I will destroy it, and I will take care of the imprisoned demons,” Figo said. “You can try to stop me, or have those seven who are available to help come and let me see what they have prepared to fight Lucifer.”

Thornos was emotionally shaken: "Gaston Figo! You are a descendant of the thirteen kings, a vital force against Lucifer, how can we so easily turn against each other?! Why... could it really be the influence of your demon bloodline?!"

Do you want the efforts of thirteen kings to be in vain, and for the chaos of ten thousand years ago to repeat itself?!

“It can’t be repeated.” Figo said, “The Celestial Dragons may feel that it’s indispensable, that they have to do it, that they have to control the direction of the starry sky for thousands of years, then I’m confident that I’m fine, right?”

"Why kill Lucifer? I'm enough. I can do whatever I want!"

Thornos's body trembled, and before he could say anything more, he was shaken away by a force of will and dissipated into Figo's mind!

Chapter 260 Prison Break

The scattered will within Thornos's disintegrating clones did not dissipate directly, but instead transformed into a pure force that merged into Figo's body.

Within his bloodline power, the portion belonging to Hades' power began to increase, thereby boosting Figo's overall bloodline.

Ship spirits are special life forms that can distribute their power to others in its entirety. qh's 'd' inherited this power, rather than being a descendant of Pluto.

Figo's consciousness returned to reality, and the sounds echoing in his ears grew louder.

"Lord Yifu!"

"The progenitor of Yi Fu!"

"How are you?! Damn Celestial Dragons, what despicable methods did they use?!"

Several demons who were in relatively good condition surrounded Figo nervously on guard, while the rest of the demons were also on high alert, looking worried.

From their perspective, they only saw an unknown light suddenly strike Figo, who then stood frozen in place. They thought Figo had been ambushed and were both angry and anxious.

Fortunately, communicating through thought in the mind is much faster than in reality. Figo and Solnos talked for an hour, but only a minute or two had passed in reality.

"I'm fine." Figo's voice instantly calmed the demons. He said, "It's just a small problem, but bigger trouble is likely to follow. Are you... afraid of dying?"

The faces of the demons, now relieved, slowly revealed expressions of disdain or indifference.

"I'm so glad you're alright! We..."

Before they could answer, Figo interrupted, "I know you're not afraid. Then keep following me, let's quicken our pace!"

"Oh!"

The roar was weak yet resolute.

Everyone has a voice!

……

Deep within the Divine General's Pavilion, Solnos, who had been sitting at the bow of the ship with his head bowed, raised his head.

A wave of anxiety, complexity, and helplessness rose around him.

Soon, he disappeared from the ship and arrived at a huge, isolated island nation on Tianlong Star—the Demon Race Breeding Base.

Deep within the base, they encountered a blond, slightly overweight middle-aged man drinking tea: "Donald."

"Lord Solnos?" the blond middle-aged man asked in surprise, "Why have you come all this way?"

Donald, the first general of the Celestial Dragons 1700 years ago, was one of the seven who lit the five lamps and lived in seclusion for immortality. He was also the one who first proposed the plan to liberate the demon race!

“No, Donald, I’ve discovered that the land of hope in the prophecy may have appeared ahead of schedule.”

"What?" Donald was taken aback, stood up in surprise, and said, "Ten thousand years ago, the descendants of those 13 kings moved to a secluded place?"

"The prophecy wasn't accurate enough; they returned to the stars about forty years ahead of schedule," Thornos affirmed. "They are definitely them; there's no mistake."

Donald's expression turned serious. He paced back and forth a couple of steps and said, "In that case, the date of Lucifer's rebirth may not be accurate. Where are they? Have they mastered the ability to find the pulse? If so, for how long? Has much of the power of the lamps that the 13 kings used to seal Lucifer been drained?"

Solnos said, "In the Eastern Cosmic Sea, there is a place called QH. They mastered the ability to find veins about a dozen years ago? And the strongest one, QH King Gaston Figo, should already have the power to ignite the Five Lamps."

"...So fast?!" Donald's expression suddenly changed, and he murmured, "I suppose he is worthy of being a descendant of 13 kings? Well, they are all forces to deal with Lucifer. I will personally contact them and have them merge into Tianlong Star."

The seven immortals had long since relinquished all authority, and only Thornos and Yasun knew of their existence. Clearly, the previous qh was not enough to warrant a special notification to them.

It's only been a little over two months since Figo became the strongest being in the starry sky, that's too fast.

"Incorporate?" Solnos said, "What if they don't agree? And after incorporating Tianlong Star, how should the rights be divided?"

Donald looked at Thornos with some surprise and said, "Lord Thornos, why are you concerned about these matters? If they disagree... I will try my best to persuade them. As descendants of the 13 kings, they should have the conviction to inherit those 13 kings and not be unable to distinguish between what is important and what is not. Only by fully integrating our forces can we have a chance to kill Lucifer the moment he is resurrected and prevent the tragedy of ten thousand years ago from repeating itself in the starry sky."

As for rights, we will certainly give the descendants of the 13 kings sufficient respect. I will gather them together later to discuss a plan.

Solnos paused for two seconds, then said, "Why should they accept our power integration? Why should they be considered to be unable to distinguish between what is important if they don't accept it? Why shouldn't we join them? Why do they say that only our methods can defeat Lucifer? The prophecy clearly states that they are the land of hope."

Donald was taken aback, his brows furrowing deeply.

"Lord Solnos?"

"...No, it's nothing."

Figo's repeated "Why should I?" echoed in Solnos's mind, causing him to subconsciously ask the same questions he had just uttered.

Donald looked at Solnos, clearly not wanting the previous topic to be left unresolved.

So Thornos repeated, "Why don't we join them? They are the descendants of the 13 kings, and they should have been the rulers of the stars. They were simply banished to a corner of the stars by the selfless voluntary exile of the 13 kings. Now that they have returned, shouldn't they have a higher status?"

“Things… can’t be viewed that way.” Donald pondered for two seconds, then shook his head.

"Ten thousand years ago is ten thousand years ago. I know that you, born in the Land of the Lamp, greatly admire those thirteen kings, and their sacrifices are worthy of respect. But this era is the one founded by us, our ancestors Rilentorford, on the Star of Heaven, and we are working hard to prepare for the destruction of Lucifer. The thirteen kings have immortal achievements, but have we sacrificed little?"

The prophecy, in retrospect, was wrong, and the rest may not be accurate either. Besides, perhaps it is only when it is incorporated into us that the Land of Hope can truly grow into 'hope'?

Ten thousand years ago was ten thousand years ago... What is the connection between the demon race of ten thousand years ago and the demon race that the Celestial Dragons actively created and released now?

Figo's words echoed in Solnos's ears once again, but this time he remained silent.

He sensed a selfishness in Donald. Everyone has selfish desires, and he also hoped that the Tianlong civilization built by Rillentorford could prosper for a long time, but he suddenly felt a sense of fear.
