Fellow Daoist, your script is really good.

All this information was brought to the Demon Emperor by Bai Zhan.

"That Su Li is no simple character," the Demon Emperor sighed softly.

From the Demon Emperor's tone, Bai Zhan sensed envy.

"Yes, Su Li has now reached the Ascension Realm, and his strength far surpasses that of other cultivators at the same level. In addition, the army of Qianling Continent is the best rested and the strongest. Other continents simply cannot compete with Qianling Continent."

Bai Zhan nodded in response.

The two looked like an ordinary father and son, not at all like a "kind father and filial son".

"Ah."

The Demon Emperor nodded.

Raising his head, the Demon Emperor looked at his fourth son: "Bai Zhan, do you think Wanda Tianxia will attack the Demon Kingdom?"

"Logically speaking, it should be possible," Bai Zhan said, expressing his thoughts.

In Bai Zhan's view, Su Li's purpose in unifying the entire Wanda World was to prepare for the attack on the Wan Yao Kingdom.

The Demon Emperor didn't say anything to his son's answer; he simply smiled and put down the document in his hand.

At this moment, Consort Si also came out from behind the screen and prepared tea.

"Bai Zhan, are you ready?"

The Demon Emperor spoke with a smile.

"Yes." Bai Zhan nodded. "Your subject has come here today to ask Father Emperor to accept his death!"

Without any pretense, Bai Zhan stated his purpose.

Bai Zhan also knew that her father knew what she was thinking.

Therefore, Bai Zhan has no intention of continuing to beat around the bush.

"Hmm." The Demon Emperor nodded, showing no surprise at his son's words.

On the other side, when Consort Si heard the Fourth Prince ask the Demon Emperor to die, her wrist visibly trembled, her face turned slightly pale, and her pearly teeth gently bit her thin lips.

Even so, Consort Si quickly regained her composure and continued to serve the Demon Emperor.

"I know you still have a lot of questions in your mind. If you have any questions, just ask them."

Before I die, I will answer you whatever I can.

This is my way of making amends to you after all these years.

I've never been a good father, neither to you nor to your brothers and sisters.

Bai Zhan nodded slightly: "Your subject wants to ask Father why you gave up resistance and allowed your subject to lead the army into the capital."

The Demon Emperor smiled and shook his head:

"At that time, our forces were vastly different. Even with the city's protective formation, how long could I hold out?"

In the end, all you'll get is the city you conquer, and a lot of people will die.

Since that's the case, it would be better to simply open the city gates and let you in directly, which would also avoid casualties among the fine men of my Demon Kingdom.

Too many people have already died in our Demon Kingdom...

"Is this the only reason Father King has?" Bai Zhan didn't entirely believe his father's words.

"There's another reason."

The Demon Emperor smiled and took a sip of tea.

"Actually, after I learned that Qianlingzhou had been defeated, its advantages spread to other continents."

Wanfa Tianxia had already regained the initiative, and it was no longer possible for Wanyao Kingdom to continue attacking Wanfa Tianxia. This war was destined to fail.

And when the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is destined to fail, you will surely have some ulterior motives.

After all, if you return victorious, given your current strength, your fifth sister will hold the absolute initiative.

So I guess you brothers will definitely strike first.

However, I guessed that your second brother, Bai Yu, would enter the city first. I was quite surprised that you came back first.

Bai Zhan, now that the entire Wan Yao Kingdom has gathered its strength to attack Wan Fa Tian Xia, it has failed, and the entire Wan Yao Kingdom is in a very depressed mood.

Now, a major event is needed to divert the attention of the people of the Demon Kingdom.

Furthermore, a new ruler is needed to rebuild the confidence of the people of the Demon Kingdom.

Even if this new ruler does nothing, he must make the people of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom feel that this new ruler will not be like me, who only brings failure to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom.

You are my son.

Although I didn't discipline you much when you were very young.

But I know your personalities better than anyone else.

After all, no matter what, I am still your father.

I should say that, apart from your sister, your brothers are also hoping that you will kill me as soon as possible.

Only in this way can the chaos of the Demon Kingdom begin, and they will have enough reason and justification to attack you.

And you, too, have your own concerns.

The reason you haven't killed me in the past two years is because you don't want to bear the crime of patricide.

Otherwise, the greater good of the world will not be on your side.

But son, you've realized it now, no matter what, no matter what you do.

Now you only have one path left.

That means they're going to kill me.

Even if I were still alive, you wouldn't be able to compete for that position anymore.

So, given that, you think it's better to go all in and burn your boats.

Kill me and you'll usher in a chaotic era; maybe that way we can still have a chance.

Actually, this was the smart move you made. It's just that you should have done it three years ago. Unfortunately, your indecisiveness has caused you a lot of trouble.

People say that your talent for cultivation and your strategic mindset are exactly the same as Duan Bo's.

But I know very well that you are still quite a bit inferior to your Uncle Duan.

At least your Uncle Duan was more rigorous, more decisive, and more far-sighted than you when he was young.

Your Uncle Duan should have been sitting in this seat, but it was all because of a woman.

Mentioning this woman, a look of melancholy flashed in the Demon Emperor's eyes, and he said no more.

"Do you have any other questions?" The Demon Emperor looked calmly at his son.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you, Father, in your opinion, which of us brothers and sisters is worthy of taking your place?"

Or rather, in your heart, Father, who do you believe is the most qualified successor?

The Demon Emperor looked into his son's eyes and saw a look similar to a child wanting his father's approval.

The Demon Emperor stared directly into Bai Zhan's eyes.

For a very long time, the Demon Emperor did not answer Bai Zhan's question.

Finally, the Demon Emperor slowly stood up and walked out of the Imperial Study, brushing past Bai Zhan.

As the Demon Emperor traveled further and further away, his voice slowly drifted from afar:

"My son, in this world, no father wants to push his son or daughter into a fire pit."

I hope you never end up in that position...

……

The Demon Emperor walked deeper into the palace, with Consort Si following behind him.

Bai Zhan didn't want to know where her father, the emperor, had gone.

However, Bai Zhan knew that her father would not leave the palace, and this was the last time she would see him.

"I'll just walk around by myself, you don't need to keep following me."

The Demon Emperor spoke slowly to Consort Si, who was standing beside him.

Don't worry, your life or death is nothing to Bai Zhan.

Bai Zhan won't make things difficult for you.

Bai Zhan will spare your life out of consideration for my feelings.

After that, you can leave the palace on your own. Wherever you go, I suggest you find a secluded place and live in anonymity. The whole world will be thrown into chaos afterward.”

Without another word, the Demon Emperor slowly walked forward, while Consort Si watched his retreating figure gradually disappear from her sight.

Finally, the Demon Emperor stopped in front of a tombstone.

This grave was very simple, without any ornate decorations. On the white marble tombstone, only the name of a woman was engraved...

This woman once stirred up a storm in the entire Demon Kingdom.

The Demon Emperor sat cross-legged in front of the tombstone and took out a pot of wine.

The Demon Emperor drank his wine while looking at the tombstone in front of him.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor resembled a weathered old man, or a traveler who had finally returned after many years of wandering.

There are actually two such tombstones.

One of them is in a sea of ​​flowers, the same place where Duan Bo took Bai Yeye.

The other one is located within the palace.

The two tombstones, the one in the palace is a cenotaph.

The tombstone in the sea of ​​flowers is where her body is buried.

The Demon Emperor longed to see that sea of ​​flowers.

But he knew that before he died, his small wish would not be fulfilled, and he would not be able to leave the palace.

However, the Demon Emperor also believed that although this was a cenotaph, her spirit in heaven could still hear him.

"Since you're already here, and have been here for so long, come out."

This is the last time we'll drink together.

The Demon Emperor spoke slowly, but there was no one in front of him except for a tombstone.

But not long after, a person slowly walked out from behind the Demon Emperor, and this man sat directly next to the Demon Emperor.

Then she handed the man a flask of wine, which he accepted without hesitation, and drank it all in one gulp.

Sunlight shone on the face of this man, who was none other than Su Li, who had long since disappeared from the world of myriad laws.

After unifying the world, Su Li handed over all matters to Xia Liuliu.

Su Li, on the other hand, arrived in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.

Upon arriving in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, Su Li did not immediately seek out Bai Yeye, but instead went to the kingdom's capital.

However, Su Li has never appeared in the palace; she has always been staying in Bai Yeye's palace.

However, Su Li also knew that the Demon Emperor had already discovered his existence, since the palace was a small world to the Demon Emperor.

The Demon Emperor is a saint who resides in this small world.

The Demon Emperor was fully aware of every move happening in the palace, even if it was just the addition of one more person.

"Thank you, Mr. Su. If it weren't for you, Mr. Su, you could have asked Ye Ye to tell me about Consort Si."

I've long since turned to dust, and the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons is already embroiled in internal strife.

Although I ultimately failed to unify the world, this final war between humans and demons fulfilled my last wish in this life.

Otherwise, I feel like I have a tightness in my chest, and I just can't feel comfortable no matter what I do.

The Demon Emperor addressed Su Li as "Sir".

At this moment, Su Li truly deserved that title.
