Ascension

Kukuba——the absolute lazy one!

He regarded the position of clan leader as a hot potato and wished he could throw it away immediately so that he could be free.

Even the magic weapon he got was not rare. When he heard about bartering or exchanging weapons for other things, he shook his head like a rattle.

Gua Gua was at a loss and looked at Ye Hanjun in distress.

It never thought that things would develop in this direction.

Is the lazy pillow for nothing?
If even the lazy country doesn't want it, what's the point of having the other countries?

"Okay, now you have the magic weapon, let's get out of here!"

"I am ready to sleep for a thousand years. I hope that when I wake up next time, there will be younger generations who have been promoted to Saint Perfection and can take over my job early!"

"Eh eh eh?"

A big-headed melon struggled hard and said:
"Big guy, you're not even going to participate in the Seven Sins Ritual?"

"Once the seven magic weapons are collected, according to the Great Pride, everyone will return to the cemetery and perform the ceremony together..."

"Well, it does sound important!"

"But the rule of our clan is that whoever is on duty takes charge."

"It's obviously Kukuda who has woken up now. You didn't go find her and woke me up. I'm not angry yet!"

"If you push your troubles onto me again, I will get mad and eat you all up in one bite!"

Kukuba threatened Guagua as if he was scaring a child.

Guagua is speechless. This group is really unreliable.

How can you do things this way? You only care about the immediate benefits and have no interest in anything else.

"Big guy, there really is a reason why you were able to grow to the highest level of saintly perfection."

"It's because you're too lazy, and it perfectly fits the rules you've mastered, so you're the leader, not the little brother."

"fart!"

Kukuba seemed to be hurt, and he said in a crooked way:

"My parents were so lucky. Very few of them died in battle. They either died of starvation in their sleep or died of old age in their sleep."

"I am already the most hardworking original sleep demon. Look at these brats. They are almost five thousand years old, but they are still the Supreme Saints. Their cultivation has not improved at all."

"I really envy them. When the sky falls, I am the one who holds it up. They don't have to do anything. I am destined to work hard and die miserably..."

Kukuba started chatting and talked to Gua Gua.

Guagua was even more confused. Should he comfort or scold?
Its little brain worked for a long time but it couldn't utter a word.

His usual cleverness and quick thinking are of no use at the critical moment.

"Oh!"

In the end, Ye Hanjun and others were driven out of the Demon Queen's Tower.

There was also the lazy and fierce one. No matter how soundly the leader, the lazy lion, slept, Kukuba kicked it and sent it flying.

The disgusted expression at parting seemed to be saying, stay away, I don’t want to see you!

"Hulala..."

The cool autumn wind blew on my body, and a few swirling dead leaves drifted away into the distance with the wind.

Ye Hanjun looked at the Demon Queen Tower behind him, turned around and looked out over the entire Lazy Kingdom.

--Quiet.

The streets here are paved with mud.

The crooked chimneys on both sides of the road turned out to be shops.

However, whether on the open streets or in the empty shops, there were hardly any living creatures.

The ones that are repeated the most are some old demons that are about to die, with no vitality in their wrinkled bodies.

“This is too depressing!”

Guagua lay on Ye Hanjun's head and sighed in a formal manner:
"Yes, even the original Sandman is eating, drinking, sleeping, and trying every way to mess things up."

"If you want them to manage a country well and create a harmonious ecology where the people are prosperous and the country is strong, this is probably only achievable in dreams."

"Big Tadpole, what should we do now? The Land of Laziness doesn't want magic weapons, but when the Seven Sins Ritual is underway, magic weapons are indispensable..."

"Let's gather intelligence first."

Ye Hanjun walked towards the store:
"I slept for no reason, and I don't know what the situation of the remaining seven virtues is."

Hearing this, Bana's face tightened and she looked extremely worried.

This is also what she is worried about. If she loses control, she will be ruined.

Can the remaining dedication, fairness, diligence, humility and loyalty protect the magic weapon in your possession?
"Squeak!"

The store that Ye Hanjun liked was one thousand meters high and was the tallest one within a hundred miles.

Even so, there are no guards outside the door and no waiters inside, and the main idea is that people can come and go freely.

The products sold in the store are actually animal meat.

These meats come from different creatures, including human, animal, bird, and so on.

They were haphazardly sliced ​​and then frozen with ice magic to extend their shelf life as long as possible.

"Selling meat, selling meat."

"The best meat costs money even if it's not fresh."

A hunchbacked "Centipede Kissing Demon" was lying on a pillar, shouting weakly.

Ye Hanjun took a glance and thought, okay, the Supreme Saint Xu Yin does have some strength.

But what about her core personality? Lonely, these two simple words raise an eyebrow.

"Wow, a strange guest, and a human..."

The listless Centipede Kissing Demon suddenly came to life, dragging its afterimage and crawling above the heads of Ye Hanjun and others.

She looked down from a high place, the tentacles on her head swaying back and forth, as if absorbing pheromones in the air.

However, she licked her thick lips and just got excited.

Ye Hanjun released a ray of pressure from the Ten Kings of Hell. Her neck shrank and the murderous light in her eyes immediately disappeared.

"What? I thought it was meat that came to me on its own initiative."

"Tell me, what do you want? As long as you can provide valuable spiritual objects, I am willing to trade with you fairly."

The Centipede Kissing Demon crawled a little further away to avoid losing his life.

But she was still greedy, sensing profitability and not wanting to miss it easily.

"First question, what year is it?"

Ye Hanjun took out a six thousand year old elixir from his storage ring and threw it over with a flick of his finger.

"?"

The Centipede Kissing Demon, who swallowed the elixir in one gulp, was subconsciously stunned.

After a pause of one or two seconds, seeing that Ye Hanjun was serious and didn't seem to be joking, he said:

"The Second Era of the Cenozoic Universe, Year 1789."

"Ok?"

Ye Liuying and Bana stared at the same time.

They met each other around 1630.

This is also the node where you kill the Demon Commander Clark and obtain the Pillow of Laziness.

Just because they were teleported to the Tower of the Demon Queen Laluhab, they slept for more than 150 years?

With so much wasted time, what will the battle between the descendants of the seven sins and the seven virtues turn out to be like?
"Ha ha ha, I never lie."

The Centipede Kissing Demon sneered, dissatisfied with the disbelieving micro-expression on the human's face.

Ye Hanjun frowned slightly and then asked:

"Second question, has anything big happened in the Desire Realm recently?"

"This question can also be understood as, have the original demon kings of other countries made any famous moves recently?"

As he spoke, Ye Hanjun dug out an ancient soul stone, which was a suitable growth resource for the Centipede Kiss Demon and was enough to serve as a bargaining chip for the transaction.

The centipede kissing demon bit the stone with two clicks and found that the energy substance in it was very tempting. It said happily:

"delicious!"

"Human boy, you are quite smart."

"I am a demon guarding my ancestral shop alone, feeling quite bored. I want to have a good talk with you today!"

The centipede kissing demon climbed down from the pillar and suddenly transformed into an old woman in human form, leaning on a cane and wearing a black hat, and said sinisterly:
"If we talk about the latest big news, it's of course about the great, omnipotent Seven Sins."

"He left behind seven magical weapons, which should have been the ultimate magic weapons that were crucial to my Desire Realm."

"But the human race has an organization called the Seven Virtues."

"They deserve to die. How dare they steal the magic weapon and play tricks on the equally noble descendants of the Seven Sins!"

"For this reason, the King of Jealousy, the King of Greed, the King of Wrath and other kings jointly issued a hunting order, and the demons living in the Desire Realm searched the world for clues to the Seven Virtues. Anyone who has made contributions will be rewarded handsomely."

The Centipede Kissing Demon glanced at Ye Hanjun, and when he saw him take the initiative to hand over the second Soul Stone, he immediately smiled and said more vigorously:

"Nowadays, temperance, humility, loyalty, and fairness are either killed or thrown into death row, and no beast can save them."

"The King of Pride, Yuwen Nai, first obtained the "Spear of Jealousy" and then the "Seal of Pride", and became invincible."

"The King of Gluttony, Momo Tetsuze, seized the "Ring of Greed" and dyed the rivers with blood." "The King of Jealousy, Eidoji, seized the "Fang of Gluttony" and was suspected to be injured. He has been missing for decades. "

"Zhuang Huanmeng, the King of Greed, has the worst luck."

"She found 'dedication' among the seven virtues, but she didn't expect that she would die together with her opponent in a desperate fight."

"The Wings of Fury that was held by the Dedication never returned to the Seven Sins and its whereabouts remain unknown."

"As for the remaining seven virtues, Justice and Diligence correspond to the Pillow of Laziness and the Whip of Lust. The situation is unclear..."

The more he listened, the more serious Ye Hanjun became.

Sleeping for a hundred years, this price is really not small.

The original demon kings all have their own gains, and the search for magic weapons is almost over, but his progress is still stuck at a stalemate. How can he feel at ease?

"Devotion and sacrifice?"

Bana burst into tears, and a gentle older sister seemed to be reflected in her pupils, touching her head and teaching her how to practice carefully.

Thinking of this, tears as big as beans came out one after another and I couldn't stop them.

"You girl, why are you crying?"

"Did I tell a very demonic story? Why is your reaction so strong?"

The Centipede Kissing Demon gave him a strange look.

Ye Hanjun and Ye Liuying could not help but fall into silence.

They don't understand the friendship between the seven virtues, but if they put themselves in their shoes, they can understand the pain.

"Xiao Bana, don't blame yourself."

After a while, there was no more important news to hear.

A group of people left the store and walked aimlessly on the street.

Gua Gua tugged at Bana's clothes, reminding her that the dead cannot be brought back, and that only by looking forward can she feel more at ease.

"what should I do?"

"The biggest benefit I gained from sleeping is that the hidden wounds in my soul have been healed."

"Although the loss of the blood contract cannot be restored, the other three blank marks can be used to re-sign the contract with the spirit."

Bana covered her head and said in confusion:

"But...what if we sign a contract?"

"I don't have time to grow. If I can't enforce justice and help people in need, I won't be able to accumulate experience in my position."

"If I can't accumulate and reach the limit of the 9th rank, I won't be able to transform from the power level to the SS level like dedication and achieve extraordinary sublimation..."

Bana revealed the secrets and clearly expressed that if the inheritance of the compassionate ancestor could reach perfection, they could also become true emperors.

Of the seven virtues of this generation, only one person, dedication, can achieve them.

Next are diligence and fairness. They have practiced for a longer time and are just one step away from being the best.

But what can we do about it? Is the greatest achievement that can be achieved just to bury the king of greed?

You know, there are seven kings in total.

One for one, this is really a big loss for the Seven Virtues.

"Your Highness Ye, in your eyes, is there any difference in importance between demons and humans?"

After a long time, Bana asked a question.

Seeing her looking up with her head and eyes full of brilliance, Ye Hanjun shook his head and said in accordance with his heart:

"Actually not."

"The cruelty of demons and the withering of life, these are scenes I have witnessed since I was a child."

"We are used to death. We are used to it when we are in our hometown. How can we suddenly change our mindset when we are in a foreign land?"

"So… you're doing this for yourself, right?"

"Yes."

Ye Hanjun frankly admitted:

"Associated with the Seven Sins, first of all, the blood contract is the ruler of the law of lust, and it is in this system itself, and it is impossible to get out of it."

"Secondly, the magic weapon can help Ekifla strengthen her strength, and the Seven Sins Ritual that follows can also help her improve her rank. There are so many benefits, I don't want to miss it."

Ye Hanjun spoke in an idealistic and natural tone, and finally changed the subject:
"But this does not mean that I will sit back and watch the human race in the Desire Realm perish."

"There are two reasons. First, the Desire Realm is named after the Seven Sinful Demon Gods. They are the overlords here. They have been exerting influence since the early days of the ancient universe, and they still have a subtle deterrent effect today."

“But any big world is never a single ecological chain.”

"You are also native residents of the Desire Realm, and your ancestors also enjoyed the land and sunshine of the Desire Realm with peace of mind."

"It is only because of the Seven Sin Demon God's strength that the demon race with him as the source prospered and became the ruler here, and eventually encroached on the survival rights of other species."

"Of course, the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. I won't comment too much on this aspect."

"There is no doubt that the human race is a disadvantaged group here. If it weren't for the compassionate ancestors from outside, your situation would be even more miserable."

After a pause, Ye Hanjun gave Bana time to think, and then said:
"I have killed countless people in my life, and my hands are covered in blood."

"But I will not kill innocent people without principles."

"If it's easy to help my people, I will gladly agree."

"These are based on my pure will."

"If I add my utilitarianism, which is the second point, the emphasis will be completely different."

Ye Hanjun suddenly pointed to his forehead, and a gray sun shone with an ancient divine light:

"You need to uphold justice and help those in need to accumulate experience points."

"As for me, I need to preach and have more followers who trust me so that my authority can grow."

"This is my Spirit Control Road. After I learned about the situation in the Desire Realm, I felt that this might be a good place to preach."

"If I can help mankind escape from the suffering of the seven sins, the feedback of faith will probably satisfy me."

Ye Hanjun smiled slightly, with three parts of longing and seven parts of composure, and finally concluded:
"So, I want to gain enough benefits from the Seven Sins, and at the same time, I will not let all the Seven Virtues die."

“This is not a retrograde route, and it can be done by hand.”

"But I didn't expect that the Teleporting Demon Queen Tower suddenly fell asleep, so the progress of the missionary work was greatly delayed..."

Ye Hanjun shook his head, thought for a moment, and said slowly:
"Our plan now is to first look for the Whip of Lust. This is a magical weapon that is compatible with Ekifla, and it cannot be obtained by other demon kings first."

"During the process, if we come across a human village, Liuying and I will spread the legend of the 'God of the Gray Sun' and try to recruit new believers."

"Bana, are you interested in being the first?"

"Believe in me, connect with my destiny, and your future may be different."

"I……"

There was still a look of confusion in Bana's eyes, as if there was a thick fog that prevented her soul from escaping for a long time.

She hesitated and thought for a long time, and finally mustered up her courage and said seriously:
"I have the 'source' of the compassionate ancestor, so in theory I am his descendant."

"I don't know if I can be bound by your authority in this situation..."

"You'll know if you try it." Ye Hanjun smiled faintly.

He couldn't guarantee anything else, but he always kept in mind the uniqueness of the "Pioneer Leader".

Although this authority is defined as a "special authority", there is no concept of level of authority.

But in his mind, the benchmark has always been the SS level, which is not inferior to the "Ten Kings of Hell" at all.

"puff!"

The finger-sized Gray Star Key was slowly pulled out from his forehead.

Immediately, Ye Hanjun inserted it between Bana's eyebrows and waited quietly for changes.

"Wow~wow~wow~"

Circles of ripples spread along the soles of the two people's feet.

After a while, Bana opened her eyes, and the shock in her pupils was extremely vivid.

“It’s actually possible…”

"The Source, which holds one seventh of the crown, does not reject your preaching and does not reject you as a heretic..."

Hearing this, Ye Hanjun was stunned, with a look of regret in his eyes.

A teacher, a protector, a pioneer leader.

This authority was not awakened naturally, but was obtained by Ye Shura, the ancestor of the Ye family, after he broke into the gate of initial awakening and experienced nine deaths.

According to the information He revealed, this inheritance is extraordinary, perhaps originating from ancient times or even the underworld, and it is itself a complete path to becoming a god.

In the past, Ye Hanjun was still young, and peeking into the appearance of a saint was the limit for him. He was not qualified to explore one of the oldest secrets in the world.

Now, he is a saint and can kill even the king of sacred beasts.

The road before him seemed flat and led directly to the ultimate.

But how many talented people have been stopped by this step?

How long would it take for him to amass tens of thousands of followers? How long would it take for him to gain the infusion of infinite faith?

Thinking of this, Ye Hanjun pursed his lips and let out a long breath.

The road ahead is long and arduous, and we still need to work hard. (End of this chapter)
