Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1127: The truth about the Demon King's inheritance and the God-killing curse
Faced with Ji Rong's sincere request, Lin Lan was a little embarrassed for a moment.

It’s not that he was unwilling to take the two siblings from the Suzaku clan to see the little white tiger.

The main thing is that even after eating five of his Hunyuan Suzu Pills, the little white tiger still showed no signs of transforming.

The effect of Hunyuan Suzu Dan is to purify the bloodline and indirectly increase the speed of cultivation of the demon race, but it will not directly improve the level of cultivation.

This means that the little white tiger's cultivation level is still that of a fourth-level monster in the late foundation-building stage.

He was afraid that Ji Rong and Ji Ju would not be able to accept the reality after seeing the white tiger cub.

"Well, that senior from the White Tiger Clan has already gone into seclusion. You will have plenty of opportunities to meet her later."

Fortunately, Grandma Mercury saw his concerns and said to the two brothers and sisters from the Suzaku clan with a smile.

“Yes, we were a little abrupt.

"That senior from the White Tiger Clan just absorbed the power of the ancient gods yesterday. He really needs to go into seclusion to absorb it and consolidate it."

Ji Rong smiled apologetically, and Ji Ju also said to Lin Lan expectantly:
"If that senior needs anything, my brother and I will risk our lives to help him.

"The Demon King's inheritance... Well, if it's that White Tiger Clan elder, maybe he can really break this cause and effect.

“The human race called the disaster caused by the out-of-control demon king the beast tide, but they didn’t know that the demon king’s inheritance was the last hope to save Natlan.”

Hearing this, Lin Lan and the other ship girls present were keenly aware of the seriousness of the problem.

He looked towards Tashkent, Fierce and Mercury Memorial.

The three Northern Alliance ship girls all shook their heads slightly at him.

There is no doubt that the Xuanwu clan did not inform the Northern Alliance Ship Girl about this matter.

In other words, the Xuanwu Clan only told the Soviet Alliance and Kronstadt the inside story of the Demon King's inheritance, and they concealed the relevant information from other Northern Alliance ship girls.

"And please tell us any information you know about the Demon King's inheritance. We will also provide assistance as much as possible."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Lan asked Ji Rong and Ji Ju.

As for the two siblings, there was nothing to hide from their benefactor.

So the brother and sister began to talk about the origin of the demon king's inheritance.

The secret realm where the Demon King's inheritance lies is located deep in the polar glacier on the frozen soil of the Northern State and opens once every hundred years or so.

The polar glaciers are so frigid that only the demons with their strong bodies or the Nascent Soul ancestors can penetrate deep into them.

In order to smoothly carry out the inheritance of the Demon King, the five great celestial demons will send the strongest with the purest blood in their clan into the secret realm to carry out the inheritance trial.

According to Ji Ju, the process of inheritance trial is extremely cruel, and often less than half of the five major demon clans who participate in the trial can survive.

This is also the reason why she and Ji Rong were appointed as junior clan leaders before other strong men in the clan left.

The big demons who participated in the Demon King inheritance trial were basically prepared to die.

However, even though the trial is so cruel, the great demon who finally obtains the power inherited from the demon king will always fall into a possessed and bloodthirsty state.

Even though the five great demon clans tried countless methods, they were unable to stop the demon king from going berserk and triggering a beast tide that swept across the entire Nathlan.

“The eight previous times the demon king went berserk, it was suppressed by human cultivators.

"But according to the records of the clan, each generation of demon kings that obtain the power of inheritance will be stronger than the previous generation."

When Ji Rong said this, Lin Lan asked in confusion:
“Since the Demon King inheritance is so dangerous, why do we still need to conduct inheritance trials to select the Demon King?
"And just now you said that the Demon King's inheritance is Natlan's last hope. What's going on?"

Hearing his question, Ji Ju sighed and looked out the wooden window of the Shenxing Boat.

“This matter has to start from the catastrophe that destroyed the world in ancient times.

“In ancient times, evil demons from outside the domain attacked, disrupted the laws of nature, and corrupted almost all the creatures of Natlan.

“In order to restore order to the Heavenly Dao, a human tribe petitioned the Natlan gods who shaped the Heavenly Dao, hoping to transfer the evil demons that disrupted the Heavenly Dao into their bodies, and use their flesh and blood for thousands of years to suppress the evil demons.

“The merciful gods originally did not want to entrust this important task to the human race, but the gods could not stop the evil from wreaking havoc, so they had no choice but to accept it.

"As of now, as long as this lineage of human beings continues to exist, the Way of Heaven will never fall.

"But the price is that this lineage of humans will be transformed into puppets of the evil demons from outside the domain when they reach the age of 25."

When Lin Lan heard this, he trembled all over and whispered a term:
"God-killing Curse..."

He finally understood what the God-killing Curse was. The answer to this question that had troubled him for so long was finally revealed at this moment.

At the same time, he also understood why the ultimate force would be isolated by the magic cube device and transformed into X-corrosion.

The God-killing curse borne by the royal bloodline of Natlan is actually a seal to suppress some kind of Category V threat!
Moreover, compared with Liaozhou, this Category V threat has already infected all living things in Natlan.

It was only because the royal family suppressed it by using their bloodline that the erosion and infection of the Natlan creatures did not break out directly, allowing the Natlan civilization to continue to this day.

No wonder the Natlan royal family has always sat firmly at the pinnacle of power in the empire even without ultimate power.

If the royal bloodline is cut off, the Natlan civilization will be completely finished.

Ji Ju's explanation was not over yet:

"However, even so, the gods still calculated that the evil demons from outside the domain would try to break through the seal every hundred years.

“Therefore, the god chose to kill himself at the hands of the human race and inject his own original divine power into the state-guarding monuments of the five great celestial demon clans.

“Only when a great demon who can inherit the power of the demon king appears in the world can we gather the divine power of the five state-guarding monuments and purify all the corrupted creatures in Natlan.”

After hearing this, Lin Lan had completely understood the whole story.

The feat of killing gods by the Natlan royal family was actually a play performed by the gods and the royal ancestors in order to suppress X.

Originally, this plan seemed perfect. Even if someone of the Natlan royal bloodline was bewitched by X, there was a great demon who inherited the power of the demon king to act as insurance.

But the problem lies in the Demon King's inheritance.

"It seems that the god did not anticipate that the evil demons from outside the domain would tamper with the inheritance of the Demon King."

Lin Lan expressed his opinion calmly.

If the demon king had only gone astray once or twice, it might have been called a coincidence.

But up to now, the inheritance of the Demon King in Natlan has gone out of control eight times, triggering eight terrifying beast tides.

There is no doubt that there is definitely something wrong with the Demon King's inheritance.

“Perhaps it is just as the senior said, but as I said before, the Demon King inheritance is Natlan’s last hope, and we have no choice.

“Even though we know that there is a problem with the Demon King’s inheritance, just like the realization made by the human bloodline, this is also the responsibility that we, the Heavenly Demon Clan created by the gods, must face.”

The two siblings of the Suzaku clan had obviously already known about Lin Lan's inference.

Ji Ju had a bitter smile on his face and said to Lin Lan, several ship girls and explorers:
"When the demon king lost control for the seventh time, the strongest clan leaders of the Qilin, Suzaku, and Azure Dragon tribes died, and two powerful people in the human race were seriously injured and on the verge of death. Only then did they suppress the out-of-control demon king.

"The eighth time, which was the last time the demon king lost control, the evil demon directly controlled the descendants of that bloodline of the human race, that is, the 'evil king' that mortals are terrified of.

“The Evil Lord and the out-of-control Demon King caused a large number of human cultivators and our compatriots to be corrupted into bloodthirsty evil cultivators and evil beasts, causing great suffering to the people of the Five States.

“Not only that, the evil king also caused a century-long war between Natlan and the foreign country of Orlan, and almost destroyed Natlan at the hands of the foreign country.

“If the Zhongzhou human cultivators had not used some unknown means to kill the evil monarch who controlled the imperial city, the out-of-control demon king would have arrogantly headed for the sea and died after fighting with the fleet and armor of the Oran foreign country for several days. I’m afraid… Alas.”

Hearing this, even Lin Lan did not expect that the century-long war between Oran and Natlan had this background.

No wonder the history books of Oran always curse the Emperor of Natlan for being treacherous and massacring the Oran people without any warning.

All of this was done by the evil king whose mind was twisted by X in order to destroy Natlan.

He had been a little confused before. The Orlans had clearly produced a large number of Ocean Fortresses and Doomsday Mechas during the war, so after the war only the Broken Dome and a few Doomsday Mechas were left in the museum.

The out-of-control eighth-generation demon king, whose cultivation base was definitely at the level of asking for the way, probably ran head-on into Orlan's main expeditionary fleet.

He could fully imagine how tragic this battle was, which was not recorded in Oran history textbooks.

Although the demon king died in the end, the Orlan people also paid a painful price of losing all of their Huanyang Fortresses and almost 90% of their Tyrant Mechas.

It is no wonder that the Oran government was gradually taken over by the consortium. Jian Qianou, who participated in this war, hated the Natlan people so much.

This battle alone almost wiped out the entire army of the United States of Oran, severely damaging its vitality.

But the sacrifice of the Orlan people also accidentally saved the world from being eroded by the Type V threat.

After all, if the demon king had not died, his cultivation would have been so strong that no one in Natlan could have punished him at that time.
