Chapter 2670 A Game That Broke the Rules
“He’s dead.” Naraku Ten paused for a few breaths, then suddenly said hurriedly, “Your advice to me through He Chunhua was good. But the Lingxu Clan is furious. We have things to do now, let’s contact each other later.”
After he finished speaking, the smoke in the sealed room dissipated.
He Lingchuan also asked for the information he wanted, so he opened the doors and windows to let the incense smoke out, and took a deep breath at the same time.
The struggles in the celestial realms are exceptionally cruel and bloody. The Kshatriyas are at a disadvantage against the Lingxu Clan, to put it bluntly, they are practically being beaten to a pulp. Even a few great celestial beings would find it difficult to contend against the Lingxu Clan led by the Holy Venerable Lingxu.
When He Lingchuan last contacted He Chunhua, he specifically mentioned that in the current Heavenly Realm, with the Holy Venerable Lingxu leading his gods to tear off their masks and become extremely bloodthirsty, they were willing to destroy the order they had painstakingly built over thousands of years in order to stir up a bloodbath. The Kshatriyas and other idle gods would have a hard time not only defeating the Lingxu forces, but even protecting themselves. However, if they did not limit their struggle to the Heavenly Realm, but instead turned their attention to the human world and to Beka, then there would be many things they could do.
Narakuten clearly understood.
When each of the demon kings of Bega ascends to the throne, they must take the secret medicine "Heart-Binding" under the watchful eyes of the gods, and are forced to use divine magic to link their lives with a certain god, thus placing their lives in the hands of a human.
In recent years, He Lingchuan has also been studying this kind of divine art. Combined with the observations of the Heavenly Demons such as Mi Tian, he discovered that this is actually an unequal contract. Although it is called the "Shared Life and Death" contract, its effect is actually a one-way constraint.
If a demon king in the mortal realm dies, the gods will be unaffected. This is similar to how a demon child dies in the mortal realm, but the celestial demon mother still lives a good life.
However, once the god dies, the demon king who signed the contract with him will also perish.
This is the key point! A key point that few people have paid attention to for hundreds of years.
Today, Bega is more powerful than ever before. The difficulty of defeating the Demon King in the mortal realm is actually greater than the difficulty of defeating the Contracted Heavenly Demon in the celestial realm. It's just that the immortals and cultivators in the mortal realm cannot go to the celestial realm and thus cannot accomplish this task.
But other celestial demons can!
The Naraku and Kshatriya realms were also blind to their own ignorance; He Lingchuan gave them a gentle nudge, and they immediately realized the truth.
In the past two years, the Heavenly Realm has been in great chaos, and one after another Heavenly Demons have fallen. The Heavenly Demons who have signed contracts with the Demon King do not have any immunity from death, so why can't they die?
The kingdoms of Yegan and Bili have always been strong supporters of the Heavenly Palace. With the deaths of these two demon kings, the Lingxu Clan's position in Bega was suddenly broken on two fronts.
“Bega is about to be thrown into chaos,” He Lingchuan murmured. “Narakuten gave it a hard push; let’s see how the Demon Emperor reacts.”
Under the serious concern of the Nine Nether Emperor, the follow-up to this matter was brought to the forefront one by one over the next month.
Just as he had envisioned, the deaths of the two regional demon kings led to a major dispute over the succession to the throne.
Three years ago, both the Lingxu Royal Court and the Heavenly Palace would have outwardly gone with the flow, because the heirs of the various demon kingdoms had to take secret medicines, accept secret techniques, and bind themselves to life-and-death contracts in order to successfully ascend the throne. In other words, the demon kings were controlled by the Heavenly Demons, and regardless of whether they were loyal to the Heavenly Palace or the Demon Emperor, their own room for maneuver was limited.
However, the Demon Emperor may now possess the antidote for "Heartbreak," and naturally hopes that the new rulers of these vassal demon kingdoms will be his supporters. After taking the antidote, the lives of the vassal demon kings will no longer be in the hands of the Heavenly Demon. The more support the Demon Emperor gains in the vassal demon kingdoms, the less control the Heavenly Demon has over him.
The Lingxu Clan cannot stand idly by and watch this happen. They will also choose a suitable candidate from among the heirs to the throne and try to support them to take the throne.
These are the two highest wills of Bega, who insist on fighting against heaven and earth at this crucial moment to determine who is superior. The Holy Venerable Lingxu must be very annoyed.
However, Bega is the best weapon for the Lingxu Clan to control the human world, and the Lingxu Holy Venerable will certainly not give it up. Therefore, the Lingxu Clan will have to devote a large part of their energy to fighting against Lingxu City, which will correspondingly reduce the intensity of their encirclement and attack on Kshatriya.
The Nine Nether Emperor also asked Du Shan: "In the struggle for the throne between the two demon kingdoms, which side do you think will win?"
Du Shan replied without hesitation: "The Demon Emperor, without a doubt."
Why?
“The Heavenly Demons need to exert their power through the Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Palace’s power in Bega can only be realized through Lingxu City.” Du Shan analyzed, “Now that Lingxu City is at odds with them, the Heavenly Demons have lost their source of power, and it will not be easy for them to support the Demon Kingdom.”
“You’re talking about the rules, the way things have been going on between the Heavenly Demon and Bega for years,” He Lingchuan smiled. “But don’t forget, the Heavenly Demon sometimes doesn’t follow the rules.”
As if to confirm his words, two days later, Du Shan received the latest news from the west:
The struggle for the throne between Yegan and Bili is still ongoing. A prince in Yegan was suddenly assassinated, while two princes in Bili were seriously injured. Both of them were supporters of the Demon Emperor!
Du Shan smiled wryly: "Drawing the firewood from under the cauldron, how could I have forgotten this move?"
Originally, the struggle for the throne in the Demon Kingdom was not something that Lingxu City and the Heavenly Palace would interfere with on the surface. Even if there were some undercurrents, they would not bring them to the forefront. The princes who defeated their rivals, regardless of how they won, would enter Lingxu City to be granted titles and prepare to be crowned by the Heavenly Palace's Envoy, Du Yun.
Did the Heavenly Palace intervene directly in this battle? No one doubts it. But the two vassal demon kingdoms couldn't find any evidence and could only assume it was a power struggle between the princes—which wasn't surprising, as the struggle for the throne was always exceptionally brutal.
Now that the pro-demon emperor faction in these two countries has suffered a heavy blow, the other princes need to seriously consider whether to side with the demon emperor or the heavenly palace!
These agonizing days didn't last long; the struggle in the Wild Dry Kingdom finally ended, and the prince who was close to the Demon Emperor ascended the throne once again. He Lingchuan sensed the impending bloodshed from the brief intelligence report, and the actual conflict must have been even more intense and difficult.
Bili Kingdom, on the other hand, was a faction that was friendly with the Heavenly Palace and defeated its opponents.
So it seems that the Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Palace fought to a draw, right?
However, what happened next was completely unexpected:
On his way to the capital, the prince of Bili Kingdom accidentally fell into the water and drowned.
The entire city of Bega was in an uproar. Lingxu City immediately issued a statement expressing its deep sorrow.
But no matter how eloquently the article is written, it cannot conceal the cold, hard truth: everyone knows that this time it was Lingxu City that did this!
What, is it only the Heavenly Palace that can carry out assassinations? Does the Heavenly Palace have unparalleled masters?
Lingxu City used this method to warn all bystanders: no matter how much the other demon kingdoms support the Heavenly Palace, don't forget that you are in the land of Bega. The so-called victors should not think that they have won the battle for the throne. You still have to enter Lingxu City, enter the Demon Emperor's territory, and accept the Demon Emperor's bestowal!
