420: Demon God Descends

"Oh, taking the initiative to report this matter to Lord Demon God is indeed a good idea."

The Demon Lord's eyes flickered with red light as he heard the Devil Emperor's words.

"What, Demon Lord, do you really want to take the initiative to report to Lord Demon God that we failed our mission?"

"Demon Lord, don't be impulsive. What I just said was out of anger. If we proactively report our failure to Lord Demon God, Lord Demon God will definitely not spare us."

Seeing that the Demon Lord was actually seriously considering the suggestion, the Demon Race member who had made the suggestion out of anger waved his hand in fear.

The other seven devils were also astonished when they saw this, looking at the pensive Demon Lord.

The reason the Demon Lord was the Demon Lord was because it could communicate with an extremely terrifying Demon God, and that Demon God possessed unimaginable power.

Their dispatching of low-level Demon Race members to destroy the Human Race's Mortal Realm was an order issued by that Demon God.

Now that the Demon Lord wanted to proactively report their failure, if the Demon God were to punish them, they would instantly turn to ash.

Seeing the Nine Great Demon Emperors all looking panicked and fearful, the Demon Lord said with a smile, "Hehe, everyone, don't panic. Proactively reporting our failure might be the best path right now."

"Although we did fail, Lord Demon God still needs us, so He certainly won't blame us too much. This is much better than dropping in Realm and gambling on an unknown outcome."

After the Demon Lord finished speaking, the Nine Great Demon Emperors also fell into contemplation.

What the Demon Lord said made some sense, but it was just wishful thinking on its part.

After all, no one knew what kind of temper the Demon God had. What if He didn't care about the ten of them at all? Proactively reporting would be tantamount to seeking death.

They were gambling on their value in the Demon God's eyes. If they lost the bet, there would only be a dead end.

"How about it, everyone? Do you want to drop in Realm and gamble on an unknown outcome, or gamble on a path that might restore your Origin Qi, or even advance further?"

Seeing the Nine Great Demon Emperors pondering the pros and cons, the Demon Lord asked with a smile.

It naturally knew that proactively reporting might lead to death.

But if they won the bet, proving that they still had value in the Demon God's eyes, then the Demon God, knowing the situation, would definitely help them recover their Origin Qi and assign them new tasks.

Facing the Demon Lord's question, the Nine Great Demon Emperors, who were still deep in thought, all snapped back to reality, their eyes showing a resolute gaze as they looked at the Demon Lord on the main seat.

"Demon Lord, we agree with your idea. I've dominated the Demon Realm for tens of millions of years, and I don't want to drop in Realm."

"That's right, I'd rather die at my Peak state than drop in Realm."

"Yes, if we're going to gamble, let's make it a big one. If we win, we'll reach the Peak again."

The Nine Great Demon Emperors spoke one after another, all addressing the Demon Lord and stating their decisions.

"Haha, good. Since everyone agrees, this Demon Lord will now communicate with Lord Demon God."

Hearing that the Nine Great Demon Emperors were all willing to gamble with him.

The Demon Lord happily took out a completely black demon statue with fangs and dozens of hands from his storage space, and then forced out several drops of his demon blood into the statue.

"Buzz!"

As the Demon Lord's demon blood was absorbed by the demon statue, the entire statue emitted a black and white halo, floating above the main hall, and a terrifying aura slowly emanated from within the statue.

"Hark! The Demon God descends, all demons kneel and welcome the Demon God!"

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the demon statue, the Demon Lord roared at the Nine Great Demon Emperors, then took the lead and knelt towards the demon statue.

"Greetings, Lord Demon God!"

Upon hearing this, the Nine Great Demon Emperors also respectfully shouted and followed the Demon Lord in kneeling before the demon statue.

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

Not long after the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors knelt, the black and white halo on the demon statue grew brighter and brighter, and the terrifying aura became stronger and stronger.

"Bang!"

When these two reached their strongest, the entire demon statue erupted with a deafening sound, and then an invisible wave of Qi emanated from the statue, sweeping across the entire Demon Realm.

Wherever it passed, no matter what level of Demon Race member, their legs trembled, and they knelt on the ground in fear, as if they had encountered some natural enemy.

"What is it, quickly speak!"

In the dark hall, a voice devoid of any emotion emanated from the demon statue floating in the air.

Hearing the demon statue's question, the Nine Great Demon Emperors all turned their gaze to the Demon Lord, signaling for him to answer.

After all, the Demon Lord could communicate with the Demon God, so it was natural for him to answer the Demon God's question.

Seeing the Nine Great Demon Emperors all looking at him, the Demon Lord did not decline, but instead kowtowed to the demon statue while speaking.

"Reporting, Lord Demon God, a hundred thousand years ago, we, the minor demons, were ordered by Lord Demon God to send the Demon Race to the Human Race's Mortal Realm to destroy all the immortal paths there. However, we don't know what happened recently in the Human Race's Mortal Realm, but an immortal path suddenly recovered."

"We, the minor demons, sent hundreds of thousands of low-level Demon Race members to the Lower Realm, but they were all annihilated, and that immortal path suffered no damage. Now, we, the minor demons, have no power to destroy the Human Race's Mortal Realm's immortal path again. Please punish us, Lord Demon God!"

"Please punish us, Lord Demon God!"

As soon as the Demon Lord finished speaking, the Nine Great Demon Emperors also kowtowed fiercely, joining in to plead for punishment.

"What! An immortal path has recovered in the Human Race's Mortal Realm? You bunch of good-for-nothings!"

The Demon God's furious voice emanated from the demon statue, and a terrifying aura pressed down on the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors, causing all ten of them to spray demon blood.

"Mercy, Lord Demon God! Mercy, Lord Demon God!"

Feeling the aura of death, the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors all kowtowed in fear, begging for mercy.

"Hmph!"

Seeing that if he continued to press, the Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors would truly die, a cold snort came from the demon statue, and then all the aura was withdrawn.

"Thank you, Lord Demon God, for your magnanimity! Thank you, Lord Demon God, for your magnanimity!"

The Demon Lord and the Nine Great Demon Emperors showed expressions of survivors, kowtowing profusely to the Demon God's statue in gratitude.

Since the Demon God did not kill them, it meant they still had value. They had gambled correctly; the Demon God would definitely help them recover their Origin Qi and then assign them tasks. They had gambled correctly!

"A bunch of good-for-nothings. If I didn't still need you, you would have died ten million times over."

The Demon God coldly reprimanded them, and then the entire hall fell silent.
