Ascension

"Report——"

"Reporting to the King of Greed, the demon soldiers stationed at the border have been receiving bad news recently!"

"He used "Diligence", one of the seven virtues, to slaughter our clan's vassals. General Zhuang Yao died in a bloodbath!"

In the country of greed, before the throne, all the demons prostrate themselves and worship, fearful and terrified.

On the throne, the new King of Greed, Zhuang Lingchun, was cold and ruthless, and suddenly shouted:

“Why does diligence repeatedly offend my country of greed?”

"He is already the strongest person in the human race. The King of Pride and the King of Jealousy are both trying to find ways to kill him!"

"There must be a reason for you to suddenly put yourself in danger. Have you found out?"

"Your Majesty, I have no evidence and dare not assert..."

An old demon lowered his head and said in a trembling voice:

"But... my guess is correct. It is very likely that the source of "moderation" has found a new owner, and it just happened to appear in my country of greed..."

"I am working hard for no other reason than to save the descendant of the Merciful Ancestor, so I revealed my whereabouts..."

"Old man, how sure are you?"

Zhuang Lingchun asked back coldly.

"Reporting to the king, 70%."

The old demon was so frightened that his teeth were chattering, and he felt that death was only one step away from him.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Lingchun narrowed his eyes, and the invisible murderous intent slowly faded:
"It better be this way."

"The Seven Kingdoms today are different from the past. If their national strength declines and they fall into the devil's trap, they will be digging their own graves."

Zhuang Chuanxia, ​​who was sitting on the second throne, shouted loudly:

"Listen carefully to what my sister says!"

"Among the seven kingdoms, Pride, Envy, and Gluttony are still the top three leaders."

"The overall strength of the lazy ones is also very strong, but they are lazy by nature and do not need to be taken seriously."

"Rage, on the other hand, has plummeted and is almost at the bottom."

"And Lust has actually climbed to the top by stepping on rage, getting rid of its last-place status and is now on par with us... The sense of crisis in my Greedy Country has reached an unprecedented level. If anyone dares to take it lightly again, don't blame me for eating them alive!"

"Commander Chuan Xia, please don't belittle yourself!"

A middle-aged demon king roared in a low voice:

"No matter how prosperous the country of lust is, there are only two original succubi!"

"If we really want to compete in strength, my country of greed will come out in full force. They can only use the magic trick of beauty, but it is nothing but a disgrace!"

"Oh?"

The original palm demon Zhuang Chuanxia raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but sneer:
"General Biao, how much do you despise the Law of Lust?"

"The Kingdom of Lust has only declined thoroughly in recent eras."

"If we calculate back in time, how glorious and prosperous were they in the ancient universe?"

"Don't think they are all slutty bitches! Ajimogo is fine, but she's not worth mentioning!"

"Do you want me to tell you how powerful the power that Ekifla controls is?"

Inside the magnificent palace, all the demons were speechless.

Zhuang Chuanxia refused to give in, and cursed while twisting her magic finger:

"It is the year 2023 of the Second Era of the Cenozoic Universe. It has been four hundred years since Aigilus passed away."

"This new king of lust has a mysterious background. It is said that he once lived outside the realm of lust."

"Once he returned, he directly awakened his divinity, order 1. How powerful is this?"

"Besides, her original form is weak."

"But she is likely to be accompanied by the descendants of the gods of her race. This is the fundamental reason why she supports the Kingdom of Lust and remains standing!"

"Greed, jealousy, rage, how many demon soldiers were secretly sent to spy on her? Did any of them come back?"

"How did she get the Wings of Rage? How did the King of Rage, Meltu, die? Why did the new King of Rage, Melxun, escape from the Kingdom of Lust in such a disgrace? Aren't these clues enough to attract our attention?"

Zhuang Chuanxia was so angry that he shattered the stone slab with one kick.

The middle-aged demon king let the stone chips hit his face, a few strands of demon blood dripping, but he didn't dare to say a word.

"Chuan Xia, why are you taking your anger out on these idiots?"

Zhuang Lingchun spoke calmly, and suddenly her voice was the only voice in the empty hall:
"Although the lust is strong, it poses no serious threat to us for now."

"I am more concerned about the human race. After the Seven Virtues, followers of the Gray Sun Cult have sprung up like mushrooms after rain."

"In just two or three hundred years, they have grown to this extent. If we treat them like ants and look down on them, we may destroy our own foundation."

"Sister, I suspect that the Gray Sun Cult and the Kingdom of Lust are having an affair!"

Zhuang Chuanxia hesitated for a moment, then said respectfully:
"There were some refugees who accidentally entered the Kingdom of Lust. Not only were they not captured, but they were able to settle down there and gradually developed it into a village."

"This is not an isolated case. Multiple clues indicate that Ekifla and Ekimogo, those two bastards, are on good terms with the human race!"

"As strong as diligence, as active as justice, they will not attack the Kingdom of Lust, nor will they even harass it. This in itself is resistant to demons!"

"Yes, I have heard about this as well."

Zhuang Lingchun said calmly:

"The King of Jealousy once talked to me about why the Gray Sun Cult did not appear earlier or later, but showed its edge after the Kingdom of Lust changed its throne?"

"What virtue and ability does the new King of Lust have to rule a country as stable as a mountain, with all the demon soldiers and demon commanders under him obeying and worshipping him?"

"Sister, can we seize this opportunity, unite with the other seven sins, and annex the Kingdom of Lust?"

"They sold the Wings of Rage and made a lot of money from the Kingdom of Rage. Instead of letting them get away with it, it's better to make us stronger!"

Zhuang Chuanxia's eyes lit up, and he added fuel to the fire:
"Lord of Lust, that bitch is right at the center of the storm."

"We don't need to investigate the truth of the news. What does it matter how we treat humans? We are demons. We can kill or eat whatever we want. It would be fun to keep us in a pigpen for fun. There are no rules."

"The reason why the human race has been suppressed era after era is simply because of the hidden danger of the Compassionate Ancestor, which we must guard against."

"Now, if we seize this breakthrough and plunder the treasure house of the Kingdom of Lust, we will definitely make a fortune!"

"Well... I don't want to miss this opportunity."

"By joining forces with the King of Jealousy, we can not only test the strength of the Kingdom of Lust, but also seize the spiritual treasure. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

Zhuang Lingchun nodded slowly. While he was still thinking, suddenly, a bone crow rushed into the hall with a scroll of magic words in its beak, screaming:

"Not good! Not good!"

"My king, something terrible is happening!"

"Three days ago, the Kingdom of Lust issued an announcement, claiming that they had mastered the Whip of Lust!"

"Almost the next day, the Lazy Country suddenly sent a message, claiming that they had obtained the Lazy Pillow!"

"So, the seven magic weapons are gathered. When the King of Pride learned about it, he decided to hold the Seven Sins Ritual immediately!"

"We must quickly respond to the King of Pride's order. If we cannot reach our ancestors' tomb before the appointed time, the king will surely kill us!"

"puff!"

Zhuang Lingchun stretched out his magic hand and grabbed the bone crow's head.

As she read the magic runes and searched souls, she unknowingly became so gloomy that water could drip from her face.

"sister……"

Zhuang Chuanxia licked her dry lips and looked inquiringly.

Zhuang Lingchun crushed the body of the Bone Crow violently, and the fluctuations of his divine power hit the hall like a tsunami:
"It seems that my cooperation with the King of Jealousy will be postponed."

"The Kingdom of Lust cannot be moved now. The highest priority must be the Seven Sins Ritual..."

"Damn it, why is it so sudden?!"

Zhuang Chuanxia's expression was also very ugly, and she angrily stepped on the second stone slab and broke it:
"Diligence and justice have clearly not fallen into the hands of our people yet!"

"How did the King of Lust get the Whip of Lust? How did the King of Laziness, who never leaves his house, get the Pillow of Laziness?"

"This is very strange! Could it be that the Kingdom of Lust has noticed something? They have already obtained the magic weapon and have been stalling for time?"

Wu Mo dared to respond to Zhuang Chuan Xia's question.

The hall was silent as a cicada, and Zhuang Lingchun's order was heard several seconds later:

"Pass on my royal decree. All members of the original palm demon clan, including the cubs, assemble!"

"Within a year, we must reach the tomb of the ancestor and formally meet with the other six tribes!"

"During your absence, the defense level of the Kingdom of Greed will drop to a historic low."

"To prevent the invasion of the Gray Sun Cult and the Seven Virtues, I will take away all the treasures. My people can take refuge in the underground bunkers. When I return, order will be restored!"

"Yes! I will obey the king's order!"

The demons of the Holy Fetus took orders and left.

A similar scene also took place in the country of jealousy.

The country of rage and gluttony is relatively straightforward.

They don't need to care about their people, who are nothing more than slaves or food and are not worth paying attention to.

"Oh, my life is so miserable..."

In the tower of the Demon Queen Laluhab, the primordial sleep demon Kukuda looked at his tribesmen who were snoring one by one, with a look of despair on his face.

All the demons were asleep, and she was the only one awake. What a miraculous luck this was.

Finally, she sighed 365 times. She was already exhausted before she even set out on the journey. Even with her back hunched, her waist bent, and her feet limping, she still had to use all her willpower to step out of the gate of the magic tower step by step.

"Goodbye, Kukuba, Kukushuai, Kukuchou, I will bring you gifts..."

"Goodbye, my kingdom, my homeland, my bed..."

Kukuda's eyes were filled with tears, and the pillow in her arms seemed to weigh 100,000 tons.

She held it, leaving behind an infinitely desolate back, and slowly disappeared at the end of the horizon.

The prayer she uttered was like a spell, echoing between heaven and earth over and over again:
“Pray to the Seven Sin Demon Gods for protection, so that the other demons can be promoted to higher ranks, and become stronger…”

"If I take one more step and advance to the Perfect Saint, Kukuba will pass the position of clan leader to me. This, this, this... I can't do that! My life as a demon is completely over!"

……

The Second Era of the Neozoic Era, Year 2024.

In the bitter cold land in the extreme north of the Desire Realm, there is an icy lake that has been frozen for thousands of years. It has no name or surname, but it is extraordinary.

One day, a meteor fell from the sky and smashed a big hole in the surface of the lake.

After a while, a group of primordial dragon demons burning with red flames slowly crawled out of the ice lake.

On their muscular faces there was either alertness or mania.

The leader, the Rage King, Mai Erxun, suddenly clenched his dragon claws and let out a shocking dragon roar:

"Roar! I have finally waited for this day!"

"I, Mailxun, will remember the humiliation of this era in my heart!"

"Under my command, the Wrathful Clan will surely return to the top three of the Seven Sins!"

"Clap-pop-pop-"

The King of Jealousy, Yidong Temple, slowly walked over from the other side of the icy lake.

He was skinny and looked like a stunted goblin.

His green skin, eerie eyes, and the ghostly fire spewing from his seven orifices all made his aura extremely chilling.

"Brother Long Mo, I have long admired you."

"I heard that the elite of your tribe were wiped out? Have you found out who did it?"

"Oh my, they are all so heroic and vigorous. Are they still strong and vigorous? I admire them very much!"

"Roar!"

Hearing the strange voice of Yidong Temple, Mai Erxun was furious, and his eyes immediately spewed fire:

"Lord of Jealousy, are you provoking my Wrathful Clan?"

"My eldest brother, Mertu, has been dead for only a few hundred years. Although his body is dead and his soul is gone, his will lives on in our blood!"

"If you dare to smile again, don't blame me for turning against you!"

“If you are dragged down as a scapegoat by the time the jealous lineage is cut off, then you can’t blame my wrathful clan!”

Mailxun, who has been promoted to the Great Saint, has the Wings of Fury on his back, plus his original pair of dragon wings, and his four wings are spread out.

He stood there like a real dragon descending into the world, his blazing flames intimidating all directions and his fierce devilish words shaking the ice surface.

"Okay, okay, I won't chat with the muscle nerd, it's really boring."

The Yidong Temple, with a half-smile on its face, strolled back leisurely.

At the place where he originally stood, a group of demon kings of different races were deployed in battle array. Their stench of body odor mixed with the murderous aura of blood actually emitted an overwhelming pressure.

"boom!!"

A few days later, a giant maggot with a body length of more than two kilometers crushed the ice and rushed in front of them with unstoppable force.

There were curled up balls of fur hanging on her back. Feeling the violent movement suddenly stop, they stretched their insect limbs one after another and jumped down.

"Hungry... so hungry..."

"Why is there nothing here? Jealous, feed me two demon kings!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the King of Gluttony, Tao Tetsuze, turned into a blue aurora and instantly rushed into the jealous camp.

Yidongsi, with his hands behind his back, suddenly had his eyelids twitching.

He suddenly grasped a spear, and the spear shot out like a dragon, stabbing straight towards the location of the green light.

But he was a beat too slow after all, and not only did the tip of the spear miss the target, but terrifying screams were heard from the demon army.

Looking closely, several demon commanders had fled in panic, and the remaining demon soldiers were naturally in chaos.

"Kacha... Kacha..."

Tao Tieze said he would eat both ends, so he must eat both ends.

She swallowed a demon king in deer form in one gulp, which relieved the acid in her stomach a little.

As a result, the second demon king in the form of a pigeon ate more slowly, with a pair of feet exposed outside his teeth, and the flesh inside was crushed into powder.

"Momo-Tetsu-Ze!!!"

"How dare you eat my subordinates? Who gave you the courage?!"

The King of Jealousy, Yidong Temple, was furious and his voice was as loud as that of a rage.

However, the King of Gluttony, Momotesawa, didn't even look at him, and just focused on chewing his food.

"Stab!!"

Yidong Temple fired the second shot, even faster.

Tao Tetsuze, with his back to him, dodged in an instant and easily created some distance.

"Mom! Mom! I'm hungry!"

Five or six pale blue lights rushed into the giant maggot's mouth like a gust of wind, scrambling to eat the residue between her teeth.

The giant maggot was used to it. Its mouth opened wide, and its cold eyes were fixed on the remaining demon army.

"Tsk! You bastard!"

Yidong Temple pierced the ice with a spear and shouted angrily:

"All troops, listen up! Retreat a hundred miles! Do not enter the sight of the King of Gluttony!"

"Momo Tetsuze, I have some freeze-dried meat made from beasts. I'll give it to you. All of it. You are not allowed to eat my subordinates anymore!"

With a livid face, Yidong Temple took out the demon-exclusive space props he carried with him, and rummaged through boxes of colorful freeze-dried food from inside to outside.

Tao Tieze shook the tentacles on his head, his appetite whetted. Without even saying thank you, he dived in and swallowed the entire box and the meat.

"Mom! It's not tasty! It's not fresh!"

"Mom! I want to eat that one! That one is delicious!"

A few young primordial demons pointed at the retreating demon army, their innocent pupils showing eagerness to try.

The ferocious Tao Tieze spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm while eating and drinking, and still said coldly:

"Now, I can only eat this!"

"When lust or greed comes, if they bring their tribesmen, mom will give you a taste!"

"Yeah! Mom is the best!"

The young primordial demon immediately cheered.

Then, their stomachs growled with hunger, and they began to imitate their mother, gnawing on the colorful freeze-dried food frantically.

"Wow~~~"

A week later, a metal spaceship slowly landed on the unnamed icy lake.

As the hatch opened, Ekifla and Ekimogo walked out one after another.

"Hey, look who's here?"

"Isn't this the new succubus baby? So pure! So cute! A hundred times prettier than in the projection!"

A green wind blew up from Yidong Temple, and in the blink of an eye he stood in front of the two demons.

Although he is thin, his aura is not at all.

When I stood in front of it, it was like a gloomy mountain range with the screaming souls of the dead on top, having endured pain for tens of thousands of years.

"roll."

Ekifla lowered her head, and all nine magatama in her eyes lit up.

In an instant, the left eye rotated counterclockwise and the right eye rotated clockwise.

At the position where the pupil should be, the word "sin" constructed by two ancient demonic words was clearly imprinted in the eyeball.

"Click!!"

The smiling Yidong Temple seemed to be stabbed by a poisonous needle between its eyebrows.

His smile froze on his face, his two legs turned into afterimages, and he took a hundred steps back. After he had pulled away a distance of tens of thousands of meters, his entire head was covered by the pale green soul fire. He said in disbelief:

"How come you... have such a strong divinity?"

"It's just one of the Seven Sins. As a branch, why is there a word of sin embedded in it? I have never heard of anything like this!"

"Lord of Jealousy, do I need to answer your question?"

Ejifla glanced at him sideways, still with an indifferent attitude that kept all evil away.

After saying this, she looked past Yidong Temple and scanned the entire Ice Lake:
"Rage, Envy, and Gluttony, only three tribes have arrived?"

"It's okay to be lazy, but the King of Pride, as the initiator of the ceremony, is so slow?" (End of this chapter)
